Published: September 2024

The research reported in this paper aimed to improve the quality, size ratio, and storage size of Digital Signatures (DS) used in the e-form Fumida app, a mobile application employed by PT Fumida Pestindo Jaya (Fumida) pest control, termite control, and fumigation services for data collection and verification. The application was developed using MADLC method for research and development of mobile application and utilized as a replacement for paper media used to fill in data related to work with the DS feature (e-signature), from which verification/authentication of the work results carried out by Fumida to its clients is given. The original DS, while replacing paper forms, suffered quality and accuracy loss when resized for printing, prompting the investigation of three methods to enhance their integrity. This process was subsequently examined using a questionnaire with the help of 22 respondents and calculation of questionnaire data. The results of our study showed that our model 3 emerged as the most effective solution, maintaining high image quality and accuracy even when resized.

Authors: Maliki Ibnu Akbar , Saputra Nugraha Adi , Putra Alamsyah Nurrahmad
Published: September 2024

The implementation of mediation in the Indonesian judiciary is regulated in Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) No. 1 of 2016 on Mediation Procedures in Courts. However, the PERMA only regulates the practice of mediation in District Courts and Religious Courts, not in the State Administrative Court. Nevertheless, the PERMA allows the State Administrative Court to conduct mediation by the provisions of the legislation. However, practical guidelines governing mediation at the State Administrative Court are not detailed. In practice, this legal vacuum has led to a lack of optimisation of mediation as an instrument of dispute resolution at the State Administrative Court. The research aims to analyse the extent of the opportunities provided by the Supreme Court in PERMA No. 1 of 2016 to implement mediation procedures at the State Administrative Court. This research is normative juridical and analytical descriptive conducted by literature review. The data was collected using the documentation technique to be analysed using the normative analysis method. The analysis indicated no specific rules regarding the implementation of mediation at the State Administrative Courts. Still, the opportunity is wide open when viewed from the type of case, which is generally included in the civil case type. Furthermore, then PERMA is not the only absolute legal basis for the implementation of mediation at the State Administrative Court, as confirmed in Article 130 HIR and Article 154 RBg. The PERMA only fills the legal vacuum related to mediation procedures not explained in the previous regulations. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the law related to mediation at the State Administrative Court to achieve a court with integrity, speed, simplicity and low cost.

Bathymetric Map Production of Therthar Depression Basin and Water Storage Volume Estimation
Authors: Yousif Hussain Ruba
Published: September 2024

Water crisis, drought, and desertification are prominent environmental issues facing many countries and threaten their sustainable development. Therthar depression basin in Iraq was selected as a study area. A new approach was adapted in producing a bathymetric map by merging contours derived from both topographic maps and digital elevation models using ArcGIS applications. Water storage volumes were estimated from 2017 to the end of 2023 using the trapezoidal rule. The results demonstrate that the maximum water storage volume was 80% of the total storage capacity in 2019. In 2021, this percent began to decrease significantly as a result of climatic changes until reached a dead storage about 40% in 2023. Large surface area of Therthar depression leads to increased evaporation and infiltration rates. The water consumption exceeded the incoming water storage by 5.292 billion cubic meters (bcm) in May and 13.127 bcm in October, between 2017 and 2023. The comparison between the estimated and actual live storage volumes resulted a root mean square error of 0.534 m and a coefficient of determination (R2) equals 0.871. However, to award off flood risks in rainy years, the study proposes increasing Therthar depression design elevation to 67 m rather than 65 m in proportion to Therthar arranger gate level.

Authors: Yousif Adel Jalal , Al-Jammas Mohammed H.
Published: September 2024

Visually impaired individuals often face significant challenges in navigating their environments due to limited access to visual information. To address this issue, a portable, cost-effective assistive tool is proposed to operate on a low-power embedded system such as the Jetson Nano. The novelty of this research lies in developing an efficient, lightweight video captioning model within constrained resources to ensure its compatibility with embedded platforms. This research aims to enhance the autonomy and accessibility of visually impaired people by providing audio descriptions of their surroundings through the processing of live-streaming videos. The proposed system utilizes two distinct lightweight deep learning modules: an object detection module based on the state-of-the-art YOLOv7 model, and a video captioning module that utilizes both the Video Swin Transformer and 2D-CNN for feature extraction, along with the Transformer network for caption generation. The goal of the object detection module is for providing real-time multiple object identification in the surrounding environment of the blind while the video captioning module is to provide detailed descriptions of the entire visual scenes and activities including objects, actions, and relationships between them. The user interacts via a headphone with the proposed system using a specific audio command to trigger the corresponding module even object detection or video captioning and receiving an audio description output for the visual contents. The system demonstrates satisfactory results, achieving inference speeds between 0.11 to 1.1 seconds for object detection and 0.91 to 1.85 seconds for video captioning, evaluated through both quantitative metrics and subjective assessments.
Analysis of the influencing factors of emission trading price in China
Authors: Liu Baoxin , Park HyeMin
Published: September 2024

China established pilot carbon markets in 2013. In 2020, it set targets for carbon peaking in 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. China’s national carbon market officially commenced operations in 2021. Based on the national market and seven pilot markets, this study established the factors influencing carbon trading prices by examining market participants, macroeconomics, energy prices, carbon prices in other markets, etc. Asymmetrical development among the seven pilot cities, for which the study employed a mixed-effects model, was the primary factor impacting carbon prices. The carbon prices in the pilot cities cannot be extrapolated to the entire country. In the national carbon market, where the study employed a multiple regression lag model, the SSE index was positively correlated with carbon prices, whereas the Dow Jones index had no significant effect on carbon prices in terms of macroeconomics. Coal and natural gas prices were negatively correlated with carbon prices, whereas oil prices were positively correlated with energy prices. The EU market prices have a positive correlation with prices in other markets. The significance of this study is that it covers the largest national Emissions Trading System (ETS) in the world and allows for comparing the characteristics of the Chinese market with those of other ETS markets. Additional studies, including more sectors, should be conducted as China’s ETS coverage increases.

Published: September 2024

With the increasing proportion of renewable energy power generation, its accompanying intermittency and volatility problems are becoming increasingly prominent, and the frequency fluctuation of the power system is becoming increasingly severe. Participation in frequency regulation services can be economically rewarding for generating units. The flywheel energy storage system can effectively improve the frequency regulation capability of coal-fired units. In this paper, the improvement of the FM capability of coal-fired units in the operation of a two-area interconnected power system containing wind power is investigated, and a model of a two-area interconnected power system comprising a turbine generator, wind power, and flywheel energy storage is established. The enhancement of the FM capability of coal-fired units by adding a flywheel energy storage system is analysed. The simulation results show that adding the flywheel energy storage system improves the FM capability of the coal-fired unit to a considerable extent, and the coal-fired unit can decide the flywheel capacity it needs to be equipped with through detailed economic calculations.

Authors: Maulana Rio Yusri , Durnik Mitja , Decman Mitja
Published: September 2024

Digital transformation changes how private and public organisations conduct their business, stressing the importance of collaboration with various stakeholders. The public sector, especially local government, is forced by citizens’ demands to change how it operates. This research examines the characteristics of existing literature on collaborative governance and digital transformation and explores the unevenness of digital transformation due to the broad autonomy granted to local governments. Qualitative methods were used, conducting in-depth interviews, advanced observations, and detailed data collection from government agencies, NGOs, and citizens of West Java, Indonesia. The enquiries reveal that governments faces silos and fragmented approaches. The results contribute to the literature, serve as a reference for improving the role of local government in collaborative digital transformation, and provide greater legitimacy in the public policy process. In the context of local government, the success of digital transformation initiatives in West Java can be attributed to effective collaboration and facilitative leadership from implementing the Penta-helix strategy and establishing Jabar Digital Service (JDS) as a dedicated unit for managing digital transformation.

Published: September 2024

World economies have faced numerous crises throughout history. Fiscal issues have accordingly become a crucial aspect of economic policy discussions, particularly in Eastern Europe, a region shown to be especially vulnerable to the recent economic shocks. The paper therefore aims to provide a bibliometric examination of trends in fiscal research via the lenses of major economic and financial crises. The bibliometric analysis is based on 6,640 documents published between 1970 and 2022 and indexed in the Scopus database. The results reveal that fiscal research associated with crises has grown sharply over time, with significant bursts one year following each major economic and financial crisis. The most cited journal articles in fiscal research highlighted the following issues in all countries, including Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries: economic reform policies (1970-1997), economic development and financial conditions (1998-2008), crises in Europe and post-crisis recovery (2009-2019) and post-crisis recovery and effects (of the COVID-19 pandemic) on the public and business sectors (2020-2022). As well as identifying key countries and journals, although diverging in approach and scope the findings show shared interests in macroeconomic policy, fiscal stability, and the impact of crises on economic performance and public finance. Developed countries have addressed complex global economic issues and advanced development, whereas Central and Eastern European nations have focused on the transition from planned to market economies. This observation reflects their distinct economic paths and fiscal research interests, as revealed in detailed content analysis by subperiods. The findings maybe of benefit for both the scientific community and evidence-based policymaking.

Evaluation and Analysis of Sound Absorption across Various Types of Hemp Fibre
Authors: Strazdas Edgaras , Januševičius Tomas
Published: September 2024

Exploring sound absorption solutions, hemp fibre stands out as a compelling replacement for traditional materials like fiberglass, foam, and mineral wool. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the sound absorption of six different types of fibre produced from hemp cultivated in the Baltic region. The sound absorption was measured using the impedance tube, transfer function method in accordance with ISO 10534-2 standard. The hemp fibre samples were changed in thickness of 20, 40, 60 mm and density from 50 to 250 kg/m3 in steps of 50 kg/m3. The sound absorption coefficient reaches up to 0.99 at medium and high frequencies. Absorption peaks occur at frequencies of 1000, 1250, 1600, 2500, 3150, 4000, 5000 Hz, depending on the measured fibre thickness, density, and type of measured fibre. It has been determined that in all cases, increasing the thickness of the hemp fibre sample increases sound absorption at lower frequencies. Sound absorption at lower frequencies also generally increases when using denser fibres, but this also depends on the type of hemp fibre being studied. Peaks in the sound absorption coefficient of 0.96-0.99 were mostly achieved when testing fibres with densities of 50, 100, and 150 kg/m3.

Authors: Roletto Andrea , Savio Anna , Marchi Beatrice , Zanoni Simone
Published: September 2024

The increasing focus on environmental sustainability is becoming essential in the radiology sector, which is accredited for about 10 % of the healthcare industry’s carbon footprint. A multitude of research initiatives investigated the environmental impacts of diagnostic imaging. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) stands as a prominent method for structural assessment of environmental impacts, offering a tool for examining the environmental consequences of specific processes. The aim of this study includes analysing existing LCA approaches in the literature to identify their limitations and to suggest a comprehensive LCA framework for diagnostic imaging. Of the original articles on environmental sustainability in radiology published since 2014, five have described an LCA approach. About the boundaries of their systems, all studies considered the electricity consumption of imaging equipment. Usage of consumables was included in 80 % (4/5) of the studies, as well as energy consumption of auxiliary equipment and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Only 40 % (2/5) of articles considered waste generation, cleaning and disposal of products used during imaging activities. The articles also varied in their LCA approach, with different life cycle assessment methods. Insights from this analysis led to the identification of differences in LCA methodological approaches in imaging found in the literature. In addition, a new LCA framework designed to overcome the limitations observed in existing research was proposed, offering a more comprehensive analysis. The objective may be the development of more targeted strategies to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with diagnostic procedures.

Bali has unique and distinctive cultural customs that have a societal and cultural character that has been dominantly influenced by Hinduism. One proof of the influence of Hindu culture originating from India was the concept of a kingdom where the king was the ruler in regulating people's lives. Even though in the modern era, Bali has become a part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, this does not mean that the traditional system that existed before has disappeared but rather that it can become part of the formation of social and cultural capital in the context of the nation-state building in Indonesia. The kingdom of Denpasar, previously called the kingdom of Badung as well was a cultural entity which played an significant role not only in the past, but also still be seen in the modern Bali era. It is not surprising to see that the existence of this kingdom cannot be separated from the understanding of the existence of autonomy, diplomacy and the struggles and its contribution that has been carried out from the past until now. There are some significant questions that will be addresed in this paper firstly: What and how did the kingdom or Puri Denpasar exist in the dynamics of society and culture in Bali in particular and in Indonesia in general? Secondly: how did collective memory develop so that Puri Denpasar had its authority as the diplomacy and struggle carried out to contribute to the nation-state building? Thirdly: what the meaning of kingdom in the modern Bali era particularly in the context of socio and cultural aspects so that these social and cultural values can be maintained regarding its existence from the past until now within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia? These are some significant questions that will be discussed in this study in an effort to have a better understanding about the role of the kingdom or Puri Denpasar in socio-cultural, economic and political aspects so that Puri Denpasar can maintain its existence until now in the context of nation-state building in the modern Indonesian state.
