Authors: Rahmadi Isnaini , Insyra Athalla Rania , Suhartini Wildan
Published: December 2023

Pola konsumsi masyrakat Indonesia saat ini menjadikan produk mi sebagai makanan pendamping atau pengganti nasi. Hal ini berpengaruh besar terhadap status gizi masyarakat seperti kekurangan protein. Tingkat konsumsi protein hewani di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah. Kandungan protein ikan wader sebesar 14,88% cocok untuk bahan baku pangan produk mi kering. Mi kering merupakan makanan paling populer di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh tingkat perbandingan ikan wader terhadap kualitas mutu fisikokimia mi kering serta rendemen dan daya kembang. Formulasi mi kering dengan perbandingan ikan wader:tepung terigu 0:100, 20:80, 25:75, 30:70, 35:65. Analisis mi kering meliputi uji rendemen, daya kembang, kadar air, lemak, protein, abu, abu tidak larut dalam asam, dan karbohidrat. Hasil analisis ANOVA memperlihatkan bahwa perbandingan daging ikan wader dan tepung terigu berpengaruh nyata dengan perhitungan rendemen, kadar air, kadar lemak, kadar protein, kadar abu, dan kadar karbohidrat, tetapi tidak berpengaruh nyata dengan kadar abu tidak larut dalam asam. Hasil bobot nilai terbaik didapatkan dari perbandingan konsentrasi ikan wader dan tepung terigu sebesar 25:75 dengan nilai rendemen sebesar 60,27%, daya kembang 120%, kadar air 11,13%, kadar lemak 1,6%, kadar protein 13,55%, kadar abu 2,13%, kadar abu tidak larut dalam asam 0,014% dan kadar karbohidrat sebesar 71,6%.  The current consumption pattern of the Indonesian people makes noodle products a complementary food or substitute for rice. This has a big influence on the nutritional status of the community, such as protein deficiency. The level of consumption of animal protein in Indonesia is still relatively low. Wader fish protein content of 14.88% is suitable for food raw materials for dry noodle products. Dry noodles are the most popular food in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the wader fish comparison level on the physicochemical quality of dry noodles as well as yield and swelling power. Dry noodle formulation with the ratio of wader fish:wheat flour 0:100, 20:80, 25:75, 30:70, 35:65. Analysis of dry noodles included yield, swelling power, moisture content, fat, protein, ash, acid insoluble ash, and carbohydrates. The results of the ANOVA analysis showed that the ratio of wader fish meat and wheat flour significantly affected the calculation of yield, water content, fat content, protein content, ash content, and carbohydrate content, but had no significant effect on acid insoluble ash content. The best weight results were obtained from a comparison of the concentrations of wader fish and wheat flour at 25:75 with a yield value of 60.27%, swellability of 120%, moisture content of 11.13%, fat content of 1.6%, protein content of 13.55 %, 2.13% ash content, 0.014% acid insoluble ash content and 71.6% carbohydrate content.

The launch of new tools in late 2022 heralded significant growth in attention to the impacts of generative AI (GenAI) in education. Claims of the potential impact on education are contested, but there are clear risks of inappropriate use particularly where GenAI aligns poorly with learning aims. In response, in mid-2023, the Australian Federal Government held an inquiry, calling for public submissions. This inquiry offers a lens onto the policy framing of GenAI in education and provides the object of investigation for this paper. We use the inquiry submissions, extracting structured claims from each. This extraction is provided as an open data set for further research, while this paper focuses on our analysis of the policy recommendations made.

For respondents to the inquiry (sources), the paper supports reflection regarding synergies and gaps in recommendations, pointing to opportunity for collaboration and policy development.
For stakeholders with responsibility for aspects of policy delivery and/or those applying a critical lens to the inquiry and recommendation framing(s), the paper offers actionable insight.
Setting Statistical Hurdles for Publishing in Accounting
Authors: Teoh Siew Hong , Zhang Yinglei
Published: December 2023

Ohlson (Empirical Accounting Seminars: Elephants in the Room. Accounting, Economics, and Law: A Convivium 15 (1): 1–8) argues that researchers tacitly avoid raising statistics-related ‘elephants’ that could undermine inferences. We offer a balanced perspective, first applauding the remarkable progress made in deriving testable predictions, leveraging modern statistical techniques, and tapping alternative Big Data sources to address issues relevant to practitioners, regulators and academia. While we concur with Ohlson’s elephants, we caution against over-criticism based on statistical design choices, as it risks creating new elephants. Our key lessons: focus on meaningful hypotheses, recognize merits of descriptive studies, balance Type I and II errors in data handling and journal reviewing, employ proper context when interpreting statistical significance and consider economic significance. Overall, though empirical accounting research faces challenges, criticism should not deter innovative research (Type II error in journal reviewing).
Strategies for optimizing the single GdSrFeO4 phase synthesis
Authors: Kenges Kairat Maratuly , Tugova Ekaterina Alekseevna
Published: December 2023

This work provides data on strategies for single GdSrFeO4 phase solid state synthesis. Earlier works have shown that under the solid-state synthesis conditions, the GdSrFeO4 preparation is hampered by the formation of non-target product: Gd2SrFe2O7. This work approach led to the solid-phase synthesis GdSrFeO4 scheme change. GdSrFeO4 was characterized by X-Ray, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dilatometry and complex thermal analysis methods. GdSrFeO4 is stable in the wide range of studied temperatures 40–1,400°C in air. The sintering start temperature was determined to be 985°C. GdSrFeO4 has a thermal expansion coefficient of 30 × 10−6 K−1. The thermal stability is excellent for further investigation and potential for application of the materials as SOFC, for example. The study of catalytic stability of the obtained GdSrFeO4 is to be a subject of future work as well.
Quantitative Perspectives on the Geolinguistic Structures of Dialect Morphology in Austria
Authors: Vergeiner Philip C.
Published: December 2023

The traditional focus of (German) dialectology has been on spatial patterns observed in phonology. However, dialectometric approaches have generated interest in exploring geographical structures in other linguistic subsystems, including morphology. Building on this research, this study investigates geolinguistic patterns of dialect morphology in contemporary Austrian dialects using aggregative and non-aggregative measures, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Multidimensional Scaling (MDS), and Cluster Analysis (CA). Data are based on a comprehensive dialect survey with 163 speakers from 40 locations across Austria, examining 120 linguistic variables related to inflection. The results show a clear geographic structuring of morphological variation, which significantly differs from traditional dialect classifications. The analysis of the linguistic basis of the geographical patterns suggests that these differences might be ascribed to methodological factors and language change. Methodologically, it is also demonstrated that the findings of aggregative and non-aggregative methods are complementary, not contradictory. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of integrating diverse methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of geographical patterns in dialect variation.
Experimental studies of a continuous catalytic distillation column from startup to steady state for the production of methyl acetate
Authors: Mekala Mallaiah
Published: December 2023

Esterification of acetic acid with methanol to produce methyl acetate and water has been studied in a continuous packed bed catalytic reactive distillation. The key challenge is the startup method of the experiments fora continuous reactive distillation as well as reactive zone height selection. In the present study, the effect of various operating conditions on the methyl acetate composition (mole fraction) is studied. Indion 180 ion-exchange resin solid catalyst is used in the reactive zone. The catalyst is immobilized by using a novel equivalent Katapak-S in the reactive section. Experiments were performed under different operating conditions to find the high purity methyl acetate product in the distillation. The experiments were performed for various conditions like total feed flow rate, reboiler temperature, reflux ratio, methanol to acetic acid mole ratio and catalyst loading with the time. The experiments were carried out till the system reaches to the steady state under different conditions. The maximum methyl acetate concentration is obtained at 80 °C reboiler temperature, 2.01 reflux ratio, 16.3 g/min flow rate, 60 g catalyst loading and 1 mol ratio of methanol to acetic acid. The highest purity of methyl acetate obtained under optimal condition is 95 % by mole.
Democracy, Corruption and Economic Growth Post-Arab Spring in Tunisia and Libya
Authors: Muktad Abdalla
Published: December 2023

This paper uses the synthetic control method to analyze the repercussions of the Arab Spring on the economic growth, corruption levels, and democracy of Tunisia and Libya. The study covered the years 2003–2018, and I utilized panel data from Tunisia, Libya, and 56 developing countries that were unaffected by the Arab revolution. I excluded countries with incomplete data, those directly impacted by the Arab Spring, and countries affected by external shocks like natural disasters or conflicts. All the data used in this analysis was obtained from the World Bank Open Data and the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project. The findings indicate that the Arab Spring had adverse effects on economic growth in both Tunisia and Libya, in comparison to what would have been expected based on their synthetic control counterparts. On the other hand, the results demonstrate a significant increase in democracy and anti-corruption in both countries following the Arab Spring.
Posterior Manifolds over Prior Parameter Regions: Beyond Pointwise Sensitivity Assessments for Posterior Statistics from MCMC Inference
Authors: Jacobi Liana , Kwok Chun Fung , Ramírez-Hassan Andrés , Nghiem Nhung
Published: December 2023

Increases in the use of Bayesian inference in applied analysis, the complexity of estimated models, and the popularity of efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) inference under conjugate priors have led to more scrutiny regarding the specification of the parameters in prior distributions. Impact of prior parameter assumptions on posterior statistics is commonly investigated in terms of local or pointwise assessments, in the form of derivatives or more often multiple evaluations under a set of alternative prior parameter specifications. This paper expands upon these localized strategies and introduces a new approach based on the graph of posterior statistics over prior parameter regions (sensitivity manifolds) that offers additional measures and graphical assessments of prior parameter dependence. Estimation is based on multiple point evaluations with Gaussian processes, with efficient selection of evaluation points via active learning, and is further complemented with derivative information. The application introduces a strategy to assess prior parameter dependence in a multivariate demand model with a high dimensional prior parameter space, where complex prior-posterior dependence arises from model parameter constraints. The new measures uncover a considerable prior dependence beyond parameters suggested by theory, and reveal novel interactions between the prior parameters and the elasticities.
Ytterbium valence ordering in the low-temperature superstructure of Yb2Pd2Cd
Authors: Kösters Jutta , Pöttgen Rainer
Published: December 2023

The intermetallic ytterbium compound Yb2Pd2Cd shows a structural phase transition at ∼150 K. The structures of the room-temperature (Mo2B2Fe type, P4/mbm, a = 757.07(7), c = 371.99(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0620, 272 F
2 values, 12 variables) and low-temperature (new type, P4/mbm, a = 747.26(4), c = 741.46(4) pm, wR2 = 0.0384, 511 F
2 values, 19 variables) modifications were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. The superstructure formation corresponds to an isomorphic transition of index 2. The driving force for the structural phase transition is an ytterbium charge ordering (the superstructure exhibits two crystallographically independent ytterbium sites) with a much higher degree of divalent ytterbium in the low-temperature modification. The striking structural feature concerns the ytterbium–palladium coordination with different Yb–Pd distances: longer ones for predominantly divalent Yb1 (2 × 284.7 and 4 × 296.1 pm, ∅ = 292.3 pm) and shorter ones for trivalent Yb2 (2 × 277.5 and 4 × 288.4 pm, ∅ = 284.8 pm).
Teach Young Birds to Sing Like the Old Bird
Authors: Babič Saša
Published: December 2023

Birds are present in everyday life, in forests, parks, cities, in fields and on playgrounds, by rivers and at entrances to stores, etc. Their ubiquity in human everyday life all through history leads to “birds” developing metaphorical meanings and producing powerful stereotypical images, which also motivate wider conceptual meanings. This article focuses on the lexeme ptica “bird” in Slovenian short folklore forms, its stereotypical representation and its metaphorical meanings. The ethnolinguistic approach will provide insight into the characteristics ascribed to birds as well as personifications and metaphorical transfers in short folklore forms, i.e., it will show what the bird symbolizes.

Change in the paradigm of the documentary heritage also leads to a change in the concept of memory institutions, whereby the most important function of a memory institution becomes active participation in the process of creating the collective memory. Audience engagement is important in this process. Evaluating the reception of documentary heritage communication allows us to assess the involvement of cultural users in cultural communication. Data from a study of the reception of visitors to an exhibition of one of the most important documents to the country’s statehood, the Act of 16 February, conducted using quantitative methods, showed that visitors to the museum where the Act of 16 February was on show rate the exhibition very highly and contribute to its communication in social networks and by oral communication.

Authors: Budrytė Paulina , Valickaitė Skaistė
Published: December 2023

The article shows the expression of social innovation in the Lithuanian military. By presenting different innovation models and processes, the authors argue that social innovation could be an effective tool for increasing the efficiency, resilience and intelligence of the armed forces. While the general public perception of the military is very technocratic, social practices (leadership, collaboration, communication) can broaden that perception through social innovation. The empirical study reveals that the expression of social innovation enriches social practices, and introduces new perspectives, ranging from advanced mental health support measures to operational collaborative strategies. Social innovation can contribute to the management of contemporary challenges both in the military and in society. By presenting the current expression of social innovation, the paper reveals the opportunities for improving social innovation in the Lithuanian military.

حلقة مفقودة قبل ظهور أدبيات الفتوى في المذهب الحنفي: أبو حفص الكبير البخاري (ت. 217/832) وكتابه "المسائل"
Authors: YILMAZ Okan Kadir
Published: December 2023

يعتبر القرن 3/9 "الفترة المفقودة" في مجالات العلوم الإسلامية بسبب كثرة ما لم يصل إلينا من الكتب المُؤلَّفة في تلك الفترة، خصوصا في مجال الفقه وأصوله. وإن أعمال هذه الفترة التي هي في الأغلب عبارة عن كتب تناولت موضوعًا واحدًا فقط أو أقل تطورا من حيث المنهجية والشمولية قد ساهمت كمصدر في أعمال القرون التالية، خاصة في القرن 4/10 والتي هي أكثر تطوّرًا من حيث المنهجية والشمولية، وتم دمجها كجزء منها. وهذه الأعمال التي تعود إلى الفترات اللاحقة والتي نسميها "النصوص الناقلة" هي أعمال هامة تمكننا من التعرف على أدبيات القرن 3/9 وطبيعتها.

الدراسةُ التي لديكم، المعتمدةُ على النصوص الناقلة المذكورة، تتناول أعمال الفتاوى الشخصية بعنوان "المسائل" التي كتبت قبل أبي الليث السمرقندي (ت. 373/983) الذي يُعتبر مؤسسًا لأدبيات الفتوى في المذهب الحنفي ومن بين هذه الأعمال مسائل أبي حفص لأبي حفص الكبير البخاري (ت. 217/832). وفي هذا السياق، تم تحديد 15 عملًا تحت عنوان "المسائل"، والتي تعود معظمها إلى القرن 3/9، ولم يصل أيُّ واحد منها إلى يومنا. وتُعتبر هذه الأعمال مهمة لكونها من بين أوائل الأمثلة التي تتضمن المسائل المسماة "الفتاوى/الواقعات/النوازل" في التصنيف الهرمي الثلاثي لمسائل المذهب الحنفي.

أحد الأهداف الرئيسية لبحثنا هذا هو تقديم جرد شامل قدر الإمكان لهذه الأعمال المعنونة بـ"المسائل"، وتحديد هويات الأشخاص المنسوبة إليهم هذه الأعمال. وهدف آخر أساسي هو كشف مكانة ودور أبي حفص الكبير البخاري الذي كان له تأثير كبير بين حنفية آسيا الوسطى في مجال الفتوى، حيث يعتبر هذا الجانب أقل شهرة بين مناطق تأثيره. وفي إطار تحقيق هذا الهدف نركز بشكل خاص على توضيح طبيعة عمله المعنون مسائل أبي حفص الذي نعتبره "مجموعة الفتاوى الشخصية"، وتسليط الضوء على إسهامه كمصدر في أدبيات الفتوى الحنفي.

Comparative Evaluation of Endoscopic Variceal Band Ligation and Carvedilol for Prevention of First Esophageal Variceal Bleed in High Risk Cirrhotics
Authors: Panda Gadadhar , Ahuja Dhruv , Kumar Suresh , Srivastava Siddharth , Kar Premashis
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), and non-selective beta blockers (NSBBs) are the favourable options for primary prophylaxis of variceal bleed. Carvedilol causes higher reduction in portal pressure in comparison to other NSBBs. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of variceal bleed prevention by EVL, and carvedilol in high risk cirrhosis.

METHODS: Our randomised trial evaluated high risk cirrhotic patients at risk of bleeding without a past history of variceal bleed. Included patients underwent screening endoscopy, and those having high risk varices (grade III/IV) and/or showing red color signs were randomised (1:1 ratio) to receive either EVL or Carvedilol. Follow up was done after 1 year. Primary endpoint was first variceal bleed, and secondary end points included overall mortality due to any cause.

RESULTS: We studied 52 patients with 26 patients in each group with similar baseline characteristics. Majority of patients were Child-Pugh Class B followed by Child-Pugh Class A. Carvedilol group had lower variceal bleeding than EVL group (7.6% vs 19.2%, P=0.41) without any difference in mortality. Overall mortality in EVL arm was 15.38% (n=4), and Carvedilol arm was 11.53% (n=3). Bleeding related mortality was same in both groups i.e. 3.84% (n=1). One patient receiving Carvedilol developed syncope warranting cessation of therapy, otherwise well tolerated. Two patients who underwent EVL had post procedure bleeding.

CONCLUSIONS: We concluded similar or possibly higher efficacy of Carvedilol as prophylactic agent for variceal haemorrhage. Limitation of our study includes a smaller sample size. A higher patient data will help confirm our results.

Published: December 2023

Celiac disease is a common gastroenterological illness. Current diagnostics of the disease are based on serological markers and histology of duodenal biopsies. Hitherto, a strict gluten-free diet is the only effective treatment and is necessary for good control of the disease. Serological tests in current use have very high specificity and sensitivity for diagnostics, but in follow-up they have some limitations. Their levels do not accurately reflect mucosal healing, and they are unable to detect minimal transgressions in the diet. This problem is significant in patients with IgA deficiency, and there exist no robust follow-up tools for monitoring these patients’ adherence to treatment. For their follow-up, we currently use IgG-based tests, and these antibodies persist for a long time even when a patient has stopped consuming gluten. More accurate and specific biomarkers are definitely needed. Adherence to a gluten-free diet is essential not only for intestinal mucosa healing and alleviation of symptoms but also for preventing complications associated with celiac disease. Here, we summarize current evidence regarding noninvasive biomarkers potentially useful for follow-up not only of patients with IgA deficiency but for all patients with celiac disease. We describe several very promising biomarkers with potential to be part of clinical practice in the near future.
INFLUENCE OF BIOLOGICAL INDUCTORS ON THE SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF MICROBIAL METABOLITES
Authors:   National University of Food Technologies, Kyiv, Ukraine, Pirog T.P. ,   Institute of Microbiology and Virology of NASU, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: December 2023

The increasing antibiotic resistance is a severe concern for humanity. Co-cultivation of microorganisms is a promising method for obtaining new secondary antimicrobial metabolites. An effective strategy for co-cultivation of microorganisms involves the usage of certain biological inductors. The aim of this review is to summarize existing scientific research in the literature related to the influence of physiologically different types of biological inductors on the synthesis and biological activity of microbial secondary metabolites. An analysis of the literature has shown that in such studies, either live or inactivated cells of the inductor are added to the culture medium at significantly lower concentrations compared to the producer cells of the final metabolites, or the supernatant (filtrate) after cultivation of a competitive microorganism is used as an inductor. According to the literature and our own experimental studies, the using inductors is an effective approach not only for intensifying the synthesis of bacteriocins, surfactants, and antibiotics, but also for increasing their biological activity. Additionally, it often leads to the production of novel antimicrobial compounds that are not typical for the producer. However, the mechanisms of effect of inductors on the synthesis of biologically active secondary metabolites require further research, as the literature suggests that their introduction into the cultivation medium of producer does not always lead to an intensification of the synthesis of the final product. Moreover, the biological activity of secondary metabolites depends on the cultivation conditions of the producer, including the presence of biological inductors in the culture medium. Therefore, it is essential to conduct further research on the interaction between producers and competitive microorganisms to regulate the biological activity of the synthesised metabolites. In addition, there is a necessity to search for more cost-effective substrates for the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, optimize the composition of the culture medium and expand the range of both pro- and eukaryotic inductors.
DYNAMICS OF THE PHENOLIC CONSTITUENTS AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN SUBMERGED CULTURES OF Xylaria SPECIES
Authors:   Kholodny Institute of Botany of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, Atamanchuk A. R.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. This study was conducted to enhance comprehension of the dynamic process of synthesis of phenolic compounds by representatives of the genus Xylaria, and the correlation between phenol content and antioxidant properties found in biomass and culture liquid during submerged cultivation. Methods. Cultivation of Xylaria polymorpha and Xylaria longipes fungal strains from the IBK Mushroom Culture Collection was carried out on a glucose-yeast-peptone nutrient medium under submerged conditions. Harvesting of both biomass and culture liquid was done on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th day of cultivation, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The total phenol content of extracts was determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu method and the antioxidant potential was evaluated through the DPPH assay. Results. Findings revealed that the accumulation of phenolic compounds by fungal species of the Xylaria genus was specified on a strain level. Notably, X. longipes strains exhibited higher production of phenolic constituents compared to X. polymorpha and demonstrated superior antioxidant activity at a specific time of cultivation. Furthermore, a strong correlation was established between the dynamics of polyphenol accumulation and antioxidant activity in both mycelial biomass and culture liquid. Conclusions. Natural phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties were extracted from the biomass and culture liquid of the studied strains. Significantly higher concentrations of phenolic compounds and values of antioxidant activity were found in the biomass compared to the culture liquid. The results indicate that a later day of cultivation is not necessarily equivalent to the production of more phenols, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive assessment of the accumulation of these compounds and the dynamic study of related parameters.
A Frame Synchronization Method Based on Tuples of Pairwise Distinct Elements
Authors: Faure E. , Makhynko M. , Shcherba A. , Faure D. , Stupka B.
Published: December 2023

The further development of the frame synchronization method is presented, which uses as a synchronization word the permutation of the elements of the set of integers of the segment [0; M  1], was further developed. It is proposed to use a tuple of M-η pairwise distinct elements of the set of integers of the segment [0; M 1] as a syncword. The elements of this set are encoded with a fixed-length binary code and the minimum binary Hamming distance between the syncword and all its circular shifts is the maximum. The paper established that the maximum value of the minimum Hamming distance for tuples of 15 pairwise distinct elements of the set of integers for M = 16 is equal to 30. A comparative assessment of the frame synchronization effectiveness was performed based on tuples of 15 elements, as well as on permutations of length 16 and 8. A computer simulation model of the frame synchronization system in a binary symmetric communication channel was built. Synchronization indicators were determined with parameters calculated for bit error probability 0,4 and 0,495, as well as requirements for a min-imum probability of correct synchronization of 0,9997 and a maximum probability of false synchronization of 3E-4. The effectiveness of using tuples of pairwise distinct elements in frame synchronization systems has been confirmed. The efficiency indicator depends on com-munication channel bit error probability.
Convolutional Neural Networks for Determining the Ion Beam Impact on a Space Debris Object
Authors: REDKA M. , KHOROSHYLOV C.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. Space debris is a serious problem that significantly complicates space activity. This problem can be mitigated by active space debris removal. The ion beam shepherd (IBS) concept assumes the contactless removal of a space debris object (SDO) by the plume of an ion thruster (IT). Techniques for determining the force impact from the IT to the SDO are of crucial importance for implementing the IBS concept.Problem Statement. A launcher’s upper stage, approximated by a cylinder, is considered an SDO deorbited by the plume of the IT. The SDO can change its orientation and position relative to the shepherd satellite. The shepherd satellite shall be able to determine the force transmitted to the SDO by the IT, using only SDO’s images as the input information.Purpose. The study aims to develop a neural net model that can map an SDO image to the force transmitted by an IT plume to this object and estimate the accuracy of such models.Material and Methods. Plasma physics methods are used to obtain ground truth values of the ion beam force. The deep learning methodology is applied to create neural net models.Results. Three different approaches for end-to-end ion force determination have been investigated. The first model uses a single convolutional neural net (CNN). The second model is an ensemble network consisting of four sub-models, and a classifier is used to pick the correct sub-model. The last model is similar to the first one but is trained on all images used for the second model. After training, all three models’ accuracy and computational complexity are estimated. These estimates demonstrate the acceptable performance of CNN-based models.Conclusions. This paper demonstrates that CNNs can be used to determine the force impact without knowledge about the SDO position and orientation and significantly faster than the previous methods.
REDUCTIVE CONSTRUCT OF RELIGION IN THE FRAME OF SECTARIAN THEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION
Authors: Badarussyamsi Badarussyamsi , Ermawati Ermawati
Published: December 2023

This article elucidates contradictory religious arguments. Religion substantively carries messages of salvation and guidance of truth from God. But when it is practiced by humans, substantive religious messages were reduced and replaced with contradictory religious expressions that eradicated the substantive messages of religion itself. Conflict and violence in the name of religion is a real phenomenon that the substantive religious teachings lost its essential message of religion. An important question to be answered in this article is how does the process of religious reduction occur if it is reviewed from the character of theological interpretation produced by theologians? A literature study of this article about the tension, conflict, and violence in the name of religion shows that the reduction of the face of religion is due to the product of sectarian, fanatical, and untolerant. These findings strengthen previous studies about the influence of theological patterns towards religious attitudes of their adherents.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LINGUISTIC APPROACH IN SHARḤ ḤADĪTH OF MIṢBĀḤ AL-ẒALĀM BY MUHAJIRIN AMSAR
Authors: Fatihunnada Fatihunnada , Huda Nailil , Thabrani Hannanah
Published: December 2023

This paper strengthens the research of Shittu and Adebolu (2016) confirming that Arabic language science: semantics, naḥw-ṣarf, and balāghah has an important role in understanding ḥadīth. In addition, this research also strengthens Asmaʿ al-Khatab and Ali Younis affirming that the Arabic style of ḥadīth in terms of balāghah can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the historical facts of ḥadīth and the substance of ḥadīth teachings. In particular, this research concludes that Muhajirin Amsar (d. 2003) as one of the Indonesian ḥadīth experts has a deep concern about understanding ḥadīth with a language approach. This is proven by the study of semantics, naḥw-ṣarf, and balāghah in the Miṣbāḥ al-Ẓalām as a work that explains the legal ḥadīth of Islamic law.
Respons Positif Teologi Kristen Protestan terhadap Sekularisasi Di Dunia Barat Modern
Authors: Hasan Mohammad Nuh
Published: December 2023

This article discusses how Protestant Christian theology responds to the strengthening of the secularization phenomenon. The positive response with various styles of theological reflection illustrates that the Protestant Christian theology figures above, starting from Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Paul Tillich, are the efforts of theologians to try to bridge the gap or gap in cultural rationality between the cultures of the classical era in where the texts of the scriptures were written with modern Western culture today. These theologians include those who give a positive response in dealing with the phenomenon of secularization in the West. However, their response actually has a style that is more or less different in their way of thinking. Although Karl Barth proposed an advanced mode of reflection, he was still bound by his orthodoxy, so that he was nicknamed "neo-orthodox". Rudolf Bultmann was more liberal with his "Demythologized" ideas. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had already begun to advocate a secular Christian interpretation, and Paul Tillich had further advocated a correlational theological approach to religion and culture. Next, Harvey Cox further tries to construct a more comprehensive reflection of Secularization theology, that the secular world is a world in which Christians are mature people. As a sign, Jesus' death on the cross is a symbol, that he has left his absoluteness, his supernatural being, to become a secular "God".

OBJECTIVES

COVID-19 mitigation strategies resulted in changes in health care access and utilization, which could negatively impact adolescents at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We evaluated changes in STI diagnoses during adolescent visits at children’s hospitals during COVID-19.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Pediatric Health Information System database comparing adolescent (11–18 years) hospital visits with an STI diagnosis by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, code during COVID-19 (2020) to pre-COVID-19 (2017–2019). Data were divided into spring (March 15–May 31), summer (June 1–August 31), and fall (September 1–December 31). Median weekly visits and patient characteristics were compared using median regression.

RESULTS

Of 2 747 135 adolescent encounters, there were 10 941 encounters with an STI diagnosis from 44 children’s hospitals in 2020. There was a decrease in overall median weekly visits for STIs in spring during COVID-19 (n = –18.6%, P = .001) and an increase in overall visits in summer (11%, P = .002) during COVID-19. There were significant increases in inpatient median weekly visits for STIs in summer (30%, P = .001) and fall (27%, P = .003) during COVID-19. We found increases in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (50%, P < .001) and other STI diagnoses (defined as other or unspecified STI by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, code; 38%, P = .040) in fall COVID-19 (2020), and a decrease in pelvic inflammatory disease (–28%, P = .032) in spring COVID-19 (2020).

CONCLUSIONS

We found increases in median weekly adolescent inpatient visits with an STI diagnosis in summer and fall COVID-19 (2020). These findings were likely partially driven by changes in behaviors or health care access. Further work is needed to improve STI care and thus potentially improve related health outcomes.

Vislumbramos contribuir para o debate sobre os mínimos sociais e necessidades humanas no Brasil atual, cujo primeiro decreto do governo Bolsonaro resolveu sobre o Salário Mínimo. Fundamenta esse artigo a Teoria Marxista da Dependência com a categoria superexploração, bem como as categorias mínimos sociais e necessidades humanas. O acirramento da precarização da vida e do trabalho, aliada a retirada de direitos conformam um contexto que faz ampliar as expressões da questão social. Nesse interim, fica a reflexão sobre a atuação profissional, a fim de conjugar forças e resistências para o enfrentamento ao avanço do capital sobre as vidas humanas e da natureza.

The hearing level of fishermen in the Lembeh Strait out of 11 fishermen, there are only 2 fishermen whose hearing is still normal. This is likely the effect of a plain exhaust modification and does not use a muffler. The muffler acts as a sound transmission damper when the exhaust gases exit the engine. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) redesign of the engine exhaust of the pakura boat; 2) analyze the relationship and influence of rotation per minute with laboratory-scale noise levels; and 3) analyze the relationship and influence of rotation per minute with field-scale noise levels. The method used in this research is experimental laboratory and field, comparising one control group and three treatment groups. The results obtained are that there are three types of redesigned exhausts equipped with mufflers. The most effective exhaust for reducing noise levels is exhaust type B, with a range of values between 79-93 dB in laboratory scale and 90-102 dB in field scale.

‘E Hana i Kanaka’ (Let’s Make Humanity)
Authors: Ing Michael David Kaulana
Published: December 2023

In the nineteenth century, foreigners to Hawai'i put forth many theories about the origin of Kanaka Hawai'i (Native Hawaiians). Rather than accept these theories, which often advanced colonial aims, Kanaka developed counternarratives that repurposed ideas brought from foreign lands. Some of these ideas came from the Bible, particularly the narratives of creation in its opening pages. The nineteenth-century Kanaka historian Samuel Manaiakalani Kamakau recounts some of these narratives. In one of them, the entire world is patterned after Hawai'i, and all humanity originates from Hawai'i. Thus, rather than being on the margins of the known world, Hawai'i is positioned as the center; and rather than Kanaka simply being the first settlers of Hawai'i, they are instead literally made from its land. Other Kanaka, such as Joseph Nawahi, used similar accounts to galvanize Kanaka political consciousness in the wake of the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom. These are examples of ho'oku'i, or ‘combinations’ of new ideas with familiar ones, which served important political functions in the intellectual landscape of the time.
Indigenous Religious Traditions
Authors: Keegan Brennan
Published: December 2023

What exactly do we mean by ‘Indigenous’ and ‘Indigeneity’? This article traces the history and contours of both colonial forces and Indigenous peoples’ efforts to define ‘Indigenous’ and considers how religion—for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples—has simultaneously been defined, denied, and recognized. The article begins by highlighting the challenges surrounding terminology used to describe Indigenous peoples and Indigenous religious traditions, drawing attention to the power of vocabulary to structure knowledge. Drawing from historical and contemporary perspectives, the article then moves to the efforts of colonial forces to quantify and erase Indigeneity, the unique challenges of Indigenous recognition in Africa and Asia, the transformative potential of Indigenous perspectives in shaping international human rights discourse, and the power of social media to enact change. The discussion ends by spotlighting Indigenous research methodologies.
