Governor of Bali : Tumpek Krulut as momentum to cherish love for Balinese
Authors: Suhendra Eka Ari
Published: October 2023

The word Tumpek refers to the meeting of the five-day wewaran system (Panca Wara), namely Kliwon, with the seven-day wewaran (Sapta Wara) system, namely Saniscara or Saturday. The five-day wewaran, seven-day wewaran, and pawukon cycle encounter gave birth to the concept of Tumpek as a day of celebration of objects and creatures that have an important role in human life. Pawukon determines the suffix of the tumpek, which takes place twice a year. For example, if the Tumpek falls on Pawukon Uye will be called Tumpek Uye, then the Tumpek that falls on pawukon Krulut will be called Tumpek Krulut. On Tumpek Krulut, Balinese Hindus worship His manifestation as Lord Iswara. A deity, lord of sacred sounds creation. Some scholars argue that the word Krulut, comes from the word Lulut which means affection love. Balinese ancestors adapted this term from the old Javanese calendar. Later, the word krulut in Tumpek Krulut is associated with celebration of love. In February 2022, The Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster considered Tumpek Krulut as the Balinese day of love. As the same as Valentine’s Day celebrations in this era. Wayan Koster emphasized that Hindus and Balinese people can use the Tumpek Kerulut as indigenous momentum to cherish love.

Published: October 2023

As an effort to erase multiple blank spots in the north, east, and west parts of Bali Island, The Bali Provincial Government worked on an integrated communication tower project in Pegayaman Village, Buleleng Regency. The Tower with the name Turyapada would be the next international-level landmark in the Buleleng district. Turyapada tower is an integrated communication building that aims as a transmitter to erase multiple blank spots in Buleleng, Jembrana and Karangasem areas. Built at an altitude of 1,521 meters above sea level, the tower would have cutting-edge facilities to support its operation as a communication tower and tourism object. The building concept is designed as a green building, reflecting the relationship between nature and Balinese culture. The architecture and technology of this building are designed to be environmentally friendly. Constructed on an area of 13,767.7 m2, the tower park is divided into six zones: the educational zone, communal zone, commercial zone (UMKM), recreational zone, management zone, and plantation zone. The tower’s center area would provide various educational facilities, such as a planetarium, a skywalk glass bridge, and a 360-degree rotating restaurant. In the vicinity, planned to be gardens for flowers, orchards, children's play areas, glamping, flying fox, SMEs arcades, and restaurants. For the visitor’s convenience, a 1-hectare parking area has been prepared, and a gondola to carry the visitor 1.4 km from the parking area to the main tower.

Tukad Unda Development: From a Viral Tourism Object to A Center for Future Bali Civilization Plan
Authors: Januar Rizky
Published: October 2023

Tukad Unda is a volcanic-formed river with areas for drainage and deposition of lava material resulting from volcanic eruptions. The area covers the Karangasem Regency in the upstream and Klungkung Regency in the downstream parts. In the Balinese language, Tukad means river, and Unda means terraced. Hence, Tukad Unda means terraced river. The obvious point is that Tukad Unda flows through a dam with two overlapping terraces. Thus, the flowing water forms a level resembling a mini waterfall. The place is one of a kind for those who enjoy calm and breezy nature. Besides having clear water with schools of small fish, the area is also surrounded by soothing trees. Tourists can either stop by the available restaurants or play in the water. The water barrage of Tukad Unda has become a tourist destination that attracted much attention from visitors in recent years. Its serene, lush natural atmosphere, gurgling water, and a curtain waterfall on the dam wall showcase a relieving experience in downtown Klungkung. Tourists can now comfortably visit the Tukad Unda dam area since the local village has managed the area as a complete tourist destination with various supporting facilities. However, Tukad Unda is a river prone to mud flooding, especially when Mount Agung experiences increased volcanic activity. Thus, the central and local governments focus on developing supporting facilities to strengthen the Tukad Unda utilization. In addition, many studies show the potential of the Tukad Unda, along with its watershed, which, when properly developed and managed, can significantly impact the welfare of the surrounding community.
How Balinese Culture Thrive on European Continent

Published: October 2023

The Balinese workforce is one of the best workers with expertise in tourism, recognized by various companies engaged in hospitality services in different parts of the world. Along with the times, a few Balinese people migrated out of their homeland to pursue careers overseas. They spread to various corners of the world, especially to well-developed countries, for a better chance of living. Art and its strategic position in the Balinese Hindu community is the people’s expression of gratitude to the Higher being. As part of the religious activities of the Hindu community, a Ceremony or religious ritual held at the temple (holy place) always showcases performing arts. The customs are strongly associated with identity; for instance, despite being far away from Bali, the Balinese diaspora in Belgium commemorated Balinese Hindu holy days festively. In Pura Agung Santi Bhuana, Belgium, the Balinese Hindu Diaspora of Europe attended the temple ceremony in the early morning. The members of the social group Banjar performed their service by staging a dance and gamelan orchestra to accompany the holy day ceremony. The talented Balinese Diaspora on dance and play gamelan instruments constitute a significant part of the total population. They support the Government’s tourism promotion programs of the Republic of Indonesia through their traditional religious activities. Subsequently, they enlivened the existence of temples in Europe, such as in Belgium, Hamburg, and Berlin, with their stunning performing dance and percussion art service. Balinese Hindu community who lives in Europe could maintain steadfastness by respecting their own culture amidst the onslaught of a global culture. He admitted that global influence penetrated all practical activities and influenced all aspects of life. Albeit the unevaded facts, thousands of the Balinese diaspora and the local citizens respectfully attended the religious movement.

Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor
$R$ and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor $C$,
under some assumptions,
can be expressed
as a linear combination of $(0,6)$-Tachibana tensors $Q(A,T)$,
where $A$ is a symmetric $(0,2)$-tensor and $T$

Cyclodextrins permeabilize DPPC liposome membranes: a focus on cholesterol content, cyclodextrin type, and concentration
Authors: Nasr Ghenwa , Greige-Gerges Hélène , Fourmentin Sophie , Elaissari Abdelhamid , Khreich Nathalie
Published: October 2023

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are known for their ability to extract lipid components from synthetic and biological membranes and therefore to induce an increase of membrane permeability. However, the effect of cholesterol (CHOL) content in the membrane on the CD permeabilizing effect was not considered yet. Given that an increase in CHOL content reduces the membrane permeability, the aim of this work was to reveal how CHOL would modulate the CDs effect on the membrane. Hence, liposomes made of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and various CHOL contents (DPPC/CHOL 100:10, 100:25, 100:50, and 100:100) encapsulating the hydrophilic fluorophore, sulforhodamine B (SRB), were prepared and exposed to the native CDs (α-CD, β-CD, γ-CD) and four β-CD derivatives: the randomly methylated-β-CD (RAMEB), the low methylated-β-CD (CRYSMEB), the hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) and the sulfobutyl ether-β-CD (SBE-β-CD) at different CD/DPPC molar ratios (1:1, 10:1, and 100:1). The membrane permeability was monitored following the release of SRB with time. The results demonstrated that the CDs effect on the membrane depends on the CD type, CD concentration, and membrane CHOL content. The investigated CDs exhibited an instantaneous permeabilizing effect promoting vesicle leakage of SRB from the various membranes; this effect increased with CDs concentration. Among the studied CDs, α-CD, β-CD, and RAMEB were the most permeabilizing CDs on the different membranes. Similar modifications of SRB release from the various liposomal formulations were obtained with HP-β-CD, CRYSMEB, and SBE-β-CD. γ-CD was the less potent CD in affecting the membrane permeability. The CDs effect also depended on the CHOL content: at the CD/DPPC molar ratio (100:1), RAMEB and β-CD considerably permeabilized the membrane of high CHOL content (50%, 100%) while the remaining CDs showed a decreasing permeabilizing effect upon CHOL content membrane increase.

Published: October 2023

This study examines the impact of Central Bank Regulations on the Financial Sustainability of National Microfinance Banks in Nigeria. The study employed the expost-facto research design. Data was collected from the central bank bulletins and the financial reports of the sample seven national Microfinance banks. The data collected was analysed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The findings derived from the empirical analysis revealed significant relationships between the Minimum Capital Requirement, and the financial sustainability indicators, including returns on assets (ROA) and returns on equity (ROE) and confirmed that the Minimum Capital Requirement imposed by the central bank has a significant impact on the financial sustainability of microfinance institutions. Based on the findings of the study, the following policy recommendations can be made; Policymakers and regulators should continue to enforce and monitor the Minimum Capital Requirement for microfinance banks. Adequate capitalization is essential for the financial sustainability and profitability of microfinance institutions. However, the capital requirement should be flexible enough to accommodate the specific needs and characteristics of microfinance banks, considering their focus on serving the underserved segments of the population. And Microfinance banks should prioritize maintaining an adequate level of capital to ensure their ability to generate returns on assets. This can be achieved through effective capital management strategies, including attracting additional capital from investors, optimizing internal capital generation, and ensuring efficient use of capital in productive activities.
Unauthorized Withdrawal from ATM/POS: Compounding Customers’ Nightmares in the Banking Sector of Nigeria
Authors: Udok Uwem , Oton Ndudie E.
Published: October 2023

In recent times, a lot of bank customers have experienced a sudden disappearance of funds in their bank accounts and this has been a source of concern to the stakeholders in the banking sector of Nigeria. These are unauthorized transactions which occur without the consent or authorization from the customers. The unauthorized transactions may be in the form of illegal or unauthorized withdrawals by criminals or indiscriminate or multiple deductions or debits by the banks claiming to be ATM/POS transaction charges. In some cases, the entire life savings of a customer may be siphoned without any trace of the source of the illegal withdrawals. This paper examines these cases of unauthorized transactions in the accounts of bank customers and argues that appropriate steps should be taken by the banks to prevent unauthorized transactions in the customers’ accounts rather than rely an exemption clause which may not avail them when they are negligent. The paper concludes that the customers also have a role to play to guard against unauthorized withdrawals in their accounts, and recommends among others, that any customer who discovers any unauthorized transaction in his or her account should immediately report to the bank for appropriate action to be taken.

Published: October 2023

Multi-wavelength fiber laser has great potential for use in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, sensors, and microwave photonics. This paper presents a multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium fiber laser (MW-BEFL) with double-frequency Brillouin spacing of approximately 0.176 nm between each adjacent Stokes. The proposed setup utilizes double cavities configuration for odd and even-order Brillouin Stokes to propagate separately in the system. This configuration is flexible as it can be transformed into a single-spacing MW-BEFL by swapping the ports of the circulator; it can also extract the odd-orders Brillouin Stokes by relocating the OSA in the cavity. Up to 25 double-spaced Brillouin Stokes are obtained with a tuning range of 30 nm. The first 8 Stokes have peak power variation within ± 3.7 dB and an average signal-to-noise ratio of 20 dB.

The impact of global warming on the hydrological cycle specifically changes in precipitation patterns and their impact on agriculture in the Chhattisgarh region, the study examines historical rainfall data from 1986 to 2021 and divides the area into 27 sub-divisions for a thorough examination. The study distinguishes between wet and dry spells by using a threshold value of 2.5 mm. To assess the likelihood of wet days, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) model is used, and a correlation analysis finds that a proba¬bility range of 55 to 65% correlates to the maximum agricultural productivity. According to the findings, the best time for the greatest crop yield in the study area is during the rainy season (MJJASO). Farmers are urged to start planting in the second or third week of June to coincide with the onset of rainfall, allowing crops to use rainwater from July through August. For the research area, the period from the end of June to the beginning of October is rated as the most favorable for agricultural operations. Overall, this study improves our understanding of climate conditions, particularly rainfall patterns, and its findings provide useful insights for the agricultural sector and other stakeholders.

A novel risk-based weighted scoring system was developed taking the risk of biosecurity measures of each biofloc technology (BFT) unit in two aquaculturally influential districts, North and South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India, into account. The current study was carried out over a 6-month period to observe the incidence of Aeromonas veronii and Escherichia coli in biofloc units of these districts along with a questionnaire-based survey on biosecurity measures employed there. Moreover, the correlation between the total heterotrophic bacterial counts (THBCs) in water and gut with the physicochemical parameters of water was also analyzed. The physico-chemical parameters of water in the BFT units were maintained optimally for Nile tilapia culture. A significant positive correlation was observed between the THBCs of water samples and the dissolved oxygen (DO) of Panchpota unit, whereas a significantly negative correlation was observed between the THBCs of water and gut samples collected from Basirhat and Ashoknagar units. The prominence of E. coli in biofloc units of South 24 Parganas suggested possible faecal contamination and lower biosecurity measures being implemented implying at the threats of consumer safety. The grading system, on the other hand, might be viewed as a beneficial instrument for monitoring the biosecurity level of biofloc units over time and pointed out that West Bengal biofloc farmers paid more heed to internal biosecurity than external biosecurity measures.

In view of increasing population size and energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are increasing and are one of the main causes of climate change. The regional electric power system is one of the main sources of carbon emissions, so there is an urgent need to optimize the regional electric power system to meet the Paris Agreement's long-term temperature goal. Therefore, this study provided a linear chance-constrained mixed-integer programming (LCMI) model with the objective of maximizing the total system profit and applying it to the regional electric power system. Chance-constrained programming and mixed-integer programming were integrated into the LCMI model to address input uncertainties. Including five commonly used power generation technologies, namely coal-fired, natural gas-fired, hydropower, wind power, and solar power, the model can provide the optimal electricity generation schemes and capacity expansion plans for different technologies at the regional level to meet the end-user’s needs while meeting the carbon dioxide emission targets under different risk levels. The outcomes of the research will offer decision-makers a framework for optimizing conventional regional electric power systems for their long-term sustainability in environmental and economic development.
