Authors: Adhari Ade
Published: November 2022

RKUHP merupakan salah satu rancangan undang-undang yang ditolak pada saat aksi demonstrasi “Reformasi Dikoupsi”. Mereka yang menolak RKUHP tentu dilakukan atas dasar suatu alasan (reason). Tulisan ini berupaya menjawab pertanyaan alasan mendasar mengapa penolakan tersebut terjadi dan langkah apa yang dapat dipilih untuk mengatasi penolakan. Hasil kajian menunjukan, pertama, Alasan penolakan yang dikemukakan oleh masyarakat adalah karena RKUHP dipandang telah memasuki arena private¾hak asasi manusia. Kedua, untuk menjembatani masalah penolakan tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan dialog aktif mengenai RKUHP. masyarakat diberikan kesempatan untuk menyampaikan alasan mengapa mereka menolak.. Kemudian, pemerintah harus mampu menjelaskan HAM dan keragaman pandangan dalam melihatnya, antara lain adanya pandangan universal-absolute, pandangan universal-relatif, pandangan partikularistik-absolute dan pandangan partikularistik-relatif. Serta menjelaskan bahwa berdasarkan Pancasila dan UUD 1945, Indonesia menganut partikularistik-relatif.

PENJATUHAN SANKSI TERHADAP PEJABAT PEMERINTAHAN YANG TIDAK MELAKSANAKAN PUTUSAN PERATUN
Authors: Usman Latif
Published: November 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa penjatuhan sanksi bagi pejabat pemerintah yang tidak melaksanakan putusan peradilan tata usaha negara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normative. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa belum ada dasar hukum yang mewajibkan badan/atau pejabat tata usaha negara untuk melaksanakan kewajibannya sebagaimana tertuang dalam putusan pengadilan tata usaha negara. Oleh karena itu, sanksi administratif dapat dikenakan kepada pejabat yang tidak melaksanakan kewajibannya. Hal tersebut diatur dalam Pasal 116 ayat (4) Undang-undang nomor 51 tahun 2009 yang menyatakan bahwa sanksi administratif terdiri dari sanksi administratif ringan, sanksi administratif sedang, dan sanksi sanksi administratif berat. Sanksi-sanksi tersebut dapat diterapkan pada setiap pejabat/badan yang tidak melaksanakan kewajibannya tergantung pada bobot pelanggaran pejabat yang bersangkutan.
Financial Support, Indispensable for Smes Growth in Mozambique
Authors: Sawayaa Alen , Bhero Shepherd
Published: November 2022

Universally it is recognized that support to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) at their birth and during growth is essential to nurture them in order to avoid premature deaths. Without formidable support to SMEs, youths would remain unemployed and result in all sorts of economic ills such as increase in crime and youth immigration from rural areas to urban areas, or from Mozambique to the republic of South Africa.  Support to SMEs can come in many forms; including support from financial institutions, from government agencies, large firms and non-governmental organizations (NGO)s to mention a few. What has not been confirmed especially in Mozambique is the fact that out of all types of support that can be rendered to SMEs, financial support is the most important and indispensable for SMEs survivability. The objective of the study was therefore to provide evidence that financial support supersedes all other support that can be made available to this important sector of the Mozambican economy. A sample of 485 SMEs was drawn from the population of SMEs in Greater Maputo representing Mozambique as a whole, using stratified random sampling methods.  Greater Maputo, the capital of Mozambique was chosen as the nucleus of the study, because Maputo is the main centre of economic activities of the country. A face to face interview was conducted using structured, close-ended questionnaires to collect the primary data. Data was processed using multiple regression analysis, in order to isolate the one single variable, financial support, whist keeping the other support variables constant. The study found that of all supporting variables available for SMEs at start-up and during growth, financial support was critical and obligatory in Mozambique. It was recommended that financial institutions should be restructured to be more proactive to support SMEs in Mozambique, especially aiming at the most disadvantaged SMEs owner-managers.
Major Macroeconomic Variables, Monetary Policy, and the Determination of the Neutral Interest Rate in Brazil
Authors: Melo Marcelo Miranda de , Gomes José Weligton Félix
Published: November 2022

This research used ARDL methodology to explore relevant macroeconomic variables influence on the Brazilian neutral interest rate. As a non-observable variable, we used this approach to identify the determinants of neutral interest rate in the Brazilian economy not only in the short term but also in the long run. Our descriptive analysis highlights that the trend of the real interest rate in Brazil has also been decreasing in recent years. In this paper we attempt to identify which variables could have driven such a fall. We used monthly data from January/2003 to June/2021 and the macroeconomic variables investigated are described as follows: neutral real interest rate (NRI), inflation rate (INF), 3-month treasury bill rate (TB3MS), real exchange rate (EER), Economic Activity Index (IBC-Br). All data were collected from IBGE, IPEADATA and Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN). We achieve that the variables that positively influence the long-term real interest rate are the inflation rate followed by the global interest rate trajectory and the real exchange rate, respectively. On the other hand, economic growth according to its potential level has a negative and relevant impact on the real long-term interest rate.
Hemiclamshell approach for left pneumonectomy
Authors: Saad Haisam
Published: November 2022

Hemiclamshell and clamshell incisions were virtually forgotten since the introduction to cardiac surgery of median sternotomy and the exhilarating advances in minimally invasive thoracic surgery. However, in rare clinical scenarios, as in large, space-occupying lesions in thoracic cavity, the surgeon will resort to a clamshell or a hemiclamshell approach to achieve complete exposure and remove a large mass from the thoracic cavity. In this video tutorial, we demonstrate the operative steps of the hemiclamshell approach in a clinical scenario for a left pneumonectomy for T4N1M0 non-small-cell lung cancer.

Minimally invasive tricuspid surgery using a complete endoscopic approach has a steep learning curve. The purpose of creating the suture map is to allow placement of sutures with minimal tissue handling and to improve operating efficiency. This process is useful for surgeons who are just beginning to learn minimally invasive surgery and are at an early stage of their endoscopic surgical career.
A variationist perspective on the comparative complexity of four registers at the intersection of mode and formality
Authors: Szmrecsanyi Benedikt , Engel Alexandra
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we operationalize register differences at the intersection of formality and mode, and distinguish four broad register categories: spoken informal (conversations), spoken formal (parliamentary debates), written informal (blogs), and written formal (newspaper articles). We are specifically interested in the comparative probabilistic/variationist complexity of these registers – when speakers have grammatical choices, are the probabilistic grammars regulating these choices more or less complex in particular registers than in others? Based on multivariate modeling of richly annotated datasets covering three grammatical alternations in two languages (English and Dutch), we assess the complexity of probabilistic grammars by drawing on three criteria: (a) the number of constraints on variant choice, (b) the number of interactions between constraints, and (c) the relative importance of lexical conditioning. Analysis shows that contrary to theorizing in variationist sociolinguistics, probabilistic complexity differences between registers are not quantitatively simple: formal registers are consistently the most complex ones, while spoken registers are the least complex ones. The most complex register under study is written-formal quality newspaper writing. We submit that the complexity differentials we uncover are a function of acquisitional difficulty, of on-line processing limitations, and of normative pressures.
Radiation pressure of a hybrid bianisotropic chiral structure
Authors: Nemati Pehrabad Samira , Wang Maoyi , Zhang Shitian , He Simin , Wang Maoyan
Published: November 2022

To obtain radiation pressure of a hybrid chiral structure, we derive the transfer matrix method and optical force densities from the Maxwell stress tensor for a planar layered bianisotropic media. The key derivations are how to get wavevectors and field components of each layer, transfer matrices connecting four eigenwaves of adjacent chiral media, as well as the force densities expressed by co- and cross-polarized reflection and transmission coefficients. After the validation of the methods and programs is performed, the radiation pressure of a layered biaxial bianisotropic chiral slab is studied. The effects of linearly and circularly polarization incident waves, incident angle, thickness, opposite handedness (optical activity), anisotropy, gain and loss of chiral media on the radiation pressure are discussed. Our work elucidates the mechanism of light-chiral media interactions, provides better understanding of chiral detection, optical trapping, and biophysics.
Causation without the causal theory of action
Authors: Popa Elena
Published: November 2022

This paper takes a critical stance on Tallis’s separation of causation and agency. While his critique of the causal theory of action and the assumptions about causation underlying different versions of determinism, including the one based on neuroscience is right, his rejection of causation (of all sorts) has implausible consequences. Denying the link between action and causation amounts to overlooking the role action plays in causal inference and in the origin of causal concepts. I suggest that a weaker version of Tallis’ claim, compatible with causation understood as agency, would work better.
Free will: An impossible reality or an incoherent concept?
Authors: Leach Stephen
Published: November 2022

The problem that Tallis attempts to address in Freedom: An Impossible Reality (2021) is that science appears to describe the entire world deterministically and that this seems to leave no room for free will. In the face of this threat, Tallis defends the existence of free will by arguing that science does not explain our intentional awareness of the world; and it is our intentional awareness that makes both science and free will possible.

Against Tallis, it is here argued that his argument is vulnerable to two criticisms. Firstly, his characterisation of science as apparently deterministic is inaccurate. Secondly, he has not solved the problem he has set himself but rather recast it, so that his conclusion leaves us having to account for free will, not in a deterministic universe, but either as a product of chance or as a miracle.

It is here suggested that when we set aside the illusory threat of scientific determinism, we also set aside the temptation of free will (as its spurious answer). That done, we may better focus upon agent’s freedom of action – as discussed by philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke and Hume – the rational capability of an agent to act upon their wishes, given the constraints under which they find themselves.
Laborer’s Love:An Anthropotechnogenetic Mediation Between Cinematism and Animetism
Authors: Fan Victor
Published: November 2022

How can media philosophy help us rehistoricize Zhang Shichuan (director) and Zheng Zhengqiu’s (screenwriter)Laogong zhi aiqing[Laborer’s Love, 1922] and foster a deeper understanding of its aesthetics within its historical context? In this article, I take Zhang Zhen’s (1999, 27–50) book chapter on the film, “Teahouse, Shadowplay, Bricolage Cinema,” as apoint de départof my investigation. I argue thatLaborer’s Loveis best understood as part of a larger media ecology that has always been in transition, or more properly speaking, always in a process of becoming. I want to demonstrate that in the film, the hybridity between a more presentational style that stemmed from early-twentieth-century Chinese theater and a more representational style that stemmed from American cinema may not be a symptom of the film’s transitionality. Rather, such hybridity might have been Zhang Shichuan’s conscious stylistic choice. Also, in the light of Thomas Lamarre’s understanding of the cinema as a negotiation between two relationships between the human and the machine—cinematism (an alignment between the human body and the moving trajectory of the machine) and animetism (a positing of the body within a moving machine)—we can rethink the film as an anthropotechnical mediation between these two relationships.
Variable stepsize construction of a two-step optimized hybrid block method with relative stability
Authors: Baleanu Dumitru , Qureshi Sania , Soomro Amanullah , Shaikh Asif Ali
Published: November 2022

Several numerical techniques for solving initial value problems arise in physical and natural sciences. In many cases, these problems require numerical treatment to achieve the required solution. However, in today’s modern era, numerical algorithms must be cost-effective with suitable convergence and stability features. At least the fifth-order convergent two-step optimized hybrid block method recently proposed in the literature is formulated in this research work with its variable stepsize approach for numerically solving first- and higher-order initial-value problems in ordinary differential equations. It has been constructed using a continuous approximation achieved through interpolation and collocation techniques at two intra-step points chosen by optimizing the local truncation errors of the main formulae. The theoretical analysis, including order stars for the relative stability, is considered. Both fixed and variable stepsize approaches are presented to observe the superiority of the latter approach. When tested on challenging differential systems, the method gives better accuracy, as revealed by the efficiency plots and the error distribution tables, including the machine time measured in seconds.
Properties of compression molded ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: effects of varying process conditions
Authors: Wang Yihan , Jia Dan , Zhan Shengpeng , Tu Jiesong , Yang Tian , Li Jian , Duan Haitao
Published: November 2022

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been extensively used in various tribological systems because of its outstanding tribological properties and excellent overall performance. Compression molding is the main molding method for UHMWPE, and the process parameters of molding have a profound effect on its material properties. In this study, three groups of UHMWPE samples were prepared, and their physical, mechanical, and tribological properties under different molding process parameters were examined—with a particular focus on the frictional and wear behavior of the material under various heating-temperatures, pressing-temperatures and pressures—and the friction and wear mechanisms of UHMWPE were analysed. Studies have shown that the rise in heating-temperature promotes the diffusion of polymer chains, resulting in an increased friction coefficient and wear loss of UHMWPE. The main wear mechanism switches from plastic deformation to fatigue wear. With an increase in the pressuring-temperature, the friction coefficient first increases and then decreases, while the wear loss increases, and the dominant wear mechanism switches from fatigue wear and plastic flow to plastic flow. With an increase in pressure, the friction coefficient and wear loss first decrease and then increase, and the prime wear mechanism changes from plastic deformation and fatigue wear to fatigue wear.

Published: November 2022

Steel is involved extensively in engineering vast constructing units in many industries and can undergo to corrosion by some chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with the environment. Therefore, designating an organic inhibitor with a specific chemical structure will participate in steel protection via enhancing their adsorption on the steel surface. Three gemini cationic surfactants based on azomethine with different hydrophobic tails labeled GSBI8, GSBI12, and GSBI16 have been designated and evaluated as corrosion inhibitors utilizing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), gravimetrical and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Importantly, the surfactant tail regulated the corrosion inhibition performance; with increasing the surfactant tail length, their inhibition efficiency enhanced because of their higher adsorption affinity. The inhibition efficiency of GSBI8, GSBI12, and GSBI16 reached 95.52, 96.72, and 97.1% respectively (EIS measurements). The Tafel examination clarified that GSBI8, GSBI12, and GSBI16 inhibitors behave as mixed type inhibitors following the modified Langmuir isotherm. The inhibitors adsorption on C-steel was confirmed by SEM surface examination. Finally, the DFT and MCs point of views investigation supported the experimental performance of the tested GSBI8, GSBI12, and GSBI16 inhibitors and specially their dependence on surfactant tail length.

Published: November 2022

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has documented wide-ranging changes to the world's coasts and oceans, with significant further change predicted. Impacts on coastal and underwater heritage sites, however, remain relatively poorly understood. The authors draw on 30 years of research into coastal and underwater archaeological sites to highlight some of the interrelated processes of deterioration and damage. Emphasising the need for closer collaboration between, on one hand, archaeologists and cultural resource managers and, on the other, climate and marine scientists, this article also discusses research from other disciplines that informs understanding of the complexity of the interaction of natural and anthropogenic processes and their impacts on cultural heritage.
Baudelaire’s Ironic Lighthouse
Authors: Yee Jennifer
Published: November 2022

Visual interpretation can offer a means of critical exegesis, as demonstrated in this article, which proposes a reading of Charles Baudelaire’s poem “L’Irrémédiable” via a series of original drawings, in a process of reverse ekphrasis. “L’Irrémédiable” is read as both an ekphrastic, antimodern poem exploring a series of old-fashioned emblems and a radical step toward iconicity in which the shape of the poem gives spatial expression to the ironic beacon of self-awareness.

Published: November 2022

Total fertilization failure (TFF) is an important cause of infertility; however, the genetic basis of TFF caused by male factors remains to be clarified. In this study, whole‐exome sequencing was firstly used to screen for genetic causes of TFF after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and homozygous variants in the novel gene IQ motif‐containing N (IQCN) were identified in two affected individuals with abnormal acrosome structures. Then, Iqcn‐knockout mice were generated by CRISPR‐Cas9 technology and showed that the knockout male mice resembled the human phenotypes. Additionally, we found that IQCN regulates microtubule nucleation during manchette assembly via calmodulin and related calmodulin‐binding proteins, which resulted in head deformity with aberrant oocyte activation factor PLCζ. Fortunately, ICSI with assisted oocyte activation can overcome IQCN‐associate TFF and male infertility. Thus, our study firstly identified the function of IQCN, highlights the relationship between the manchette assembly and fertilization, and provides a genetic marker and a therapeutic option for male‐source TFF.
Hydrological Models
Authors: Bonacci Ognjen
Published: November 2022

This paper discusses the highly topical issue of forming and using hydrological models. Their significance in water resource management and achieving sustainable development goals is underlined, particularly in the context of climate change. Some shortcomings in hydrological process modelling are pointed out, ones that can significantly affect the probability of achieving reliable results. Given the important role water plays, it is necessary to understand the complexity of producing hydrological models. Indeed, hydrological models themselves play an important role, and they must as such meet several important assumptions. Above all, they must consistently follow the basic principles of hydrology. We find that contemporary modelling technology (computer use, rapid development of numerical methods, use of state-of-the-art monitoring techniques) has strongly surpassed the level of our knowledge regarding physical hydrological processes and their interactions with the living and non-living environments that we aim to model. The complexity of the procedures and the problem of transferring information from one dimension to another in space and/or time have been highlighted. The need for further development of hydrological models, involving strict verification of the results provided by these models, has been underlined.
Comparison of Forecasting Using Fuzzy Time Series Chen Model and Lee Model to Foreign Exchange in EUR/USD and GBP/USD
Authors: Syehudin Syehudin , Putra Anggyi Trisnawan
Published: November 2022

Each country has a currency value that applies in its territory and can be adjusted to the value of the currency of other countries. In this adjustment, there is a difference in value when the transaction is made, and the difference in profit can be taken, usually referred to as foreign exchange (forex). In forex trading, analytical calculations are needed to plan a decision to get a significant difference so that the profits will increase. One analysis technique that can maximize the search for an enormous profit difference is by using the prediction method using the fuzzy time series. This method is a method that predicts future data based on historical data or past data. The fuzzy time series method has several models, including the Chen model and Lee model. In determining which model is the best, it is necessary to test using the AFER (average forecasting error rate) based on the level of accuracy of the smallest error value. By using historical data of EUR/USD and GBP/USD from 19 February 2019 to 19 February 2020, it is known that Lee’s fuzzy time series method predicts better accuracy because Chen’s model in foreign currency EUR/USD has a more significant error rate of 0.0018 (0.18%) or greater than Lee’s model which only has a value of 0.0016 (0.16%). Then the Chen model in foreign currency GBP/USD has an error rate of 0.00445 (0.445%) or greater than the Lee model, which only has an error rate of 0.00297 (0.297%).

User Experience Analysis of Satisfaction of Job Seekers (PENCAKER) in the City of Semarang Manpower Department in Using the SIKER Application Using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) Method
Authors: Jhonatan Edward , Budiman Kholiq
Published: November 2022

The Semarang City Manpower Service or also known as (DISNAKER) is a government agency that can foster and control the manpower sector. The Manpower Office has its website application, namely the work system (SIKER) which is an integrated employee recruitment information system from the Semarang city government, companies, and also the community or job seekers. This study aims to understand the level of comfort in terms of User Experience in using the SIKER application. Analysis of the SIKER website application by applying the User UEQ method approach given to 32 respondents who have used this website. The UEQ assessment focuses on six aspects, namely: efficiency, attractiveness, accuracy, clarity, novelty, and stimulation. The results obtained after conducting the analysis are that the average respondent gives below average results, at the User Experience level the efficiency item gets a sufficient value, on the clarity, accuracy, stimulation, attractiveness, and novelty scales it gets a value below the average. This tends to be the lack of seeker users with this SIKER application. In other words, the reason is that there are still many users who don't understand this application because this application is still relatively new.
The Case for Advance Care Planning in the NICU
Authors: Lin Matthew , Sayeed Sadath , DeCourcey Danielle D , Wolfe Joanne , Cummings Christy
Published: November 2022

Many NICUs have reached an inflection point where infant deaths following limitation of life-sustaining treatments outnumber those following unsuccessful resuscitations, and many infants who survive continue to require intensive supports. Families of such infants with serious illness may benefit from a standardized, process-oriented approach in decisional-support. Advance care planning (ACP), or communication that supports patients, or their surrogate decision-makers, in sharing values, goals, and preferences for future medical care, is recognized as a valuable strategy in supporting adults with serious and chronic illness. Although the role of ACP in older children and adolescents is evolving, its utility has not been systematically explored in the perinatal context. This article builds a case for formalizing a role for ACP in the NICU by defining ACP and appraising recent outcomes research, reviewing the current state of parental needs for decisional support and serious illness in the NICU, and describing how ACP may address current limitations in primary and specialty pediatric palliative care and challenges for decision-making in the newborn period.

Angola is a tropical country with many biogeographical units and, therefore, has a high floristic diversity. Although an increasing number of floristic studies has been carried out in Angola in recent years, the country is still considered to be underinvestigated as many species being collected were previously unknown there. Several scientific groups working in different parts of Angola contributed to this paper their data from biodiversity assessments. With this we can add 67 species newly recorded for Angola, including two new generic records and five alien species, to the almost 7,300 vascular plant taxa known so far for Angola. Most of the new records for Angola are also present in different neighbouring countries, but they are little known, and their IUCN threat status has not been assessed yet. However, ongoing fieldwork and exploration are needed to complete the floristic knowledge of the understudied country.

Biofilm is the dominant form of skin microbiota organization that provides adhesion and preservation of microorganisms in the skin micro-environment. It is necessary to ensure epidermal barrier function and local immunomodulation. Staphylococcus aureus becomes the major colonizer of skin lesions in case of atopic dermatitis exacerbation, and it also can form the biofilms. S. aureus growth and biofilm formation due to other microbial commensals on the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis leads to chronic output of pro-inflammatory cytokines and later to abnormalities in healthy skin microbiome. The role of microbial biofilm in human’s health makes the skin microbiota an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in various skin diseases.

Published: November 2022

Background. Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune bullous dermatosis. Its management generally involves lifelong administration of maintenance dose of systemic glucocorticosteroids, that leading to serious adverse effects especially in children.

Clinical case description. Patient is the 16 years old boy with severe course of pemphigus vulgaris. The diagnosis was confirmed by the results of cell smear study from fresh erosions (> 50 acantholytic cells were revealed), histological examination of the skin biopsy from the lesion with the vesicle element (suprabasal vesicle was localized in the center, it included fibrin, neutrophil granulocytes, and acantholytic cells), skin biopsy from the area near the lesion (visually healthy skin), via direct immunofluorescence methods (IgG deposition was detected on keratinocytes’ surface throughout the epidermis), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (desmoglein 1 IgG autoantibodies — 121 U/mL (reference value < 20 U/mL) and desmoglein 3 — > 200 U/mL (reference value < 20 U/mL)). Genetically engineered biologic drug, rituximab, and systemic glucocorticosteroid, methylprednisolone, were prescribed as first-line therapy with gradual dose reduction to permanent discontinuation in 8 months. Complete remission maintained after the completion of therapy course and discontinuation of systemic glucocorticosteroid.

Conclusion. Combined therapy with systemic glucocorticosteroids and rituximab can be considered as first-line therapy in pediatric patients with pemphigus vulgaris due to relatively low risk of recurrence after rather rapid and complete drugs’ discontinuation.

A General Interactive Approach for Solving Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization Problems with Imprecise Preferences
Authors: Benabbou Nawal , Lust Thibaut
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we develop a general interactive method to solve multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems with imprecise preferences. Assuming that preferences can be represented by a parameterized scalarizing function, we iteratively ask preferences queries to the decision maker in order to reduce the uncertainty over the preference parameters until being able to determine her preferred solution. To produce informative preference queries at each step, we generate promising solutions using the extreme points of the polyhedron representing the admissible preference parameters and then we ask the decision maker to compare two of these solutions (we propose different selection strategies). These extreme points are also used to provide a stopping criterion guaranteeing that the returned solution is optimal (or near-optimal) according to the decision maker's preferences. For the multi-objective spanning tree problem with a linear aggregation function, we provide numerical results to demonstrate the practical efficiency of our approach and we compare our results to a recent approach based on minimax regret, where preferences are asked during the construction of a solution. We show that better results are achieved by our method both in terms of running time and number of questions.
Improved Safe Real-Time Heuristic Search
Authors: Cserna Bence , Gall Kevin , Ruml Wheeler
Published: November 2022

A fundamental concern in real-time planning is the presence of dead ends in the state space, from which no goal is reachable. Recently, the SafeRTS algorithm was proposed for searching in such spaces. SafeRTS exploits a user-provided predicate to identify safe states, from which a goal is likely reachable, and attempts to maintain a backup plan for reaching such a state at all times. In this paper, we study the SafeRTS approach, identify certain properties of its behavior, and design an improved framework for safe real-time search. We prove that the new approach performs at least as well as SafeRTS and present experimental results showing that its promise is fulfilled in practice.
Compiling Cost-Optimal Multi-Agent Pathfinding to ASP
Authors: Gómez Rodrigo , Hernández Carlos , Baier Jorge
Published: November 2022

Multi-Agent Pathfinding (MAPF) over grids is the problem of finding n non-conflicting paths that lead n agents from a given initial cell to a given goal cell. Cost-optimal MAPF in addition minimizes the total number of actions performed by each agent before stopping at the goal. Being a combinatorial problem in nature, a number of compilations from MAPF to Answer Set Programming (ASP) exist. In this paper we propose a new one, which unlike existing ASP approaches (1) produces cost-optimal solutions, (2) exploits information that can be pre-computed quickly using Dijkstra's algorithm, and (3) when grounded, produces a number of clauses that grows linearly with the number of agents. In our empirical evaluation, in which we use the clasp solver, we show that our approach is superior to heuristic-search-based algorithms in various settings.
A Learning-Based Framework for Memory-Bounded Heuristic Search: First Results
Authors: Ulloa Carlos , Baier Jorge , Yeoh William , Bulitko Vadim , Koenig Sven
Published: November 2022

Many existing boundedly-suboptimal heuristic search algorithms are variants of best-first search. Due to memory limitations, these algorithms are unable to solve problems with extremely large search spaces. In this paper, we present a framework that allows best-first search algorithms to solve problems with such large search spaces given a (reasonable) memory bound while also preserving optimality guarantees in tree-structured search spaces. In our framework, a given algorithm is run several times. In each search episode, the algorithm expands up to a user-defined number of states. After each episode, unless the goal has been found, the heuristic values of the generated states are updated using a linear-time algorithm that preserves consistency in tree-structured search spaces. In subsequent search episodes, only the heuristic values of the states generated in the previous episode need to be kept in memory. We present experimental results where we plug A*, GBFS, and wA* into our framework to solve traveling salesman problems and compare them against benchmark linear-memory algorithms like DFBnB and wDFBnB.
Multi-Agent Path Finding for Large Agents

Published: November 2022

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) has been widely studied in the AI community. For example, Conflict-Based Search (CBS) is a state-of-the-art MAPF algorithm based on a two-level tree-search. However, previous MAPF algorithms assume that an agent occupies only a single location at any given time, e.g., a single cell in a grid. This limits their applicability in many real-world domains that have geometric agents in lieu of point agents. Geometric agents are referred to as “large” agents because they can occupy multiple points at the same time. In this paper, we formalize and study LAMAPF, i.e., MAPF for large agents. We first show how CBS can be adapted to solve LA-MAPF. We then present a generalized version of CBS, called Multi-Constraint CBS (MC-CBS), that adds multiple constraints (instead of one constraint) for an agent when it generates a high-level search node. We introduce three different approaches to choose such constraints as well as an approach to compute admissible heuristics for the high-level search. Experimental results show that all MC-CBS variants outperform CBS by up to three orders of magnitude in terms of runtime. The best variant also outperforms EPEA* (a state-of-the-art A*-based MAPF solver) in all cases and MDD-SAT (a state-of-the-art reduction-based MAPF solver) in some cases.
Extended Abstract: Lifelong Path Planning with Kinematic Constraints for Multi-Agent Pickup and Delivery
Authors: Ma Hang , Hönig Wolfgang , Kumar T. K. , Ayanian Nora , Koenig Sven
Published: November 2022

The Multi-Agent Pickup and Delivery (MAPD) problem models applications where a large number of agents attend to a stream of incoming pickup-and-delivery tasks. Token Passing (TP) is a recent MAPD algorithm that is efficient and effective. We make TP even more efficient and effective by using a novel combinatorial search algorithm, called Safe Interval Path Planning with Reservation Table (SIPPwRT), for single-agent path planning. SIPPwRT uses an advanced data structure that allows for fast updates and lookups of the current paths of all agents in an online setting. The resulting MAPD algorithm TP-SIPPwRT takes kinematic constraints of real robots into account directly during planning, computes continuous agent movements with given velocities that work on non-holonomic robots rather than discrete agent movements with uniform velocity, and is complete for well-formed MAPD instances. We demonstrate its benefits for automated warehouses using both an agent simulator and a standard robot simulator. For example, we demonstrate that it can compute paths for hundreds of agents and thousands of tasks in seconds and is more efficient and effective than existing MAPD algorithms that use a post-processing step to adapt their paths to continuous agent movements with given velocities.
