The scarcity of petroleum products is forcing renewable energy resources to be more attractive. Biodiesel is an alternative fuel created through the transesterification of vegetable oils and animal fats. The most important biodiesel quality parameters are obtained by paying attention to and making a trade-off between reaction time and temperature. The presence of contaminants in the feedstock, such as water and free fatty acids, or impurities in the final products, such as methanol, free glycerine, or soap, causes difficulties during this process. This research work has developed processes to produce biodiesel from Jatropha curcas. The biodiesel was extracted and all the blends were characterized to determine the physicochemical characteristics by the test methods ASTM 6571. The emission characteristics indicate that B20 was less than all types of oil samples. The power and torque outputs of B20 were found better than all blends next to the baseline diesel fuel. The smell of the smoke of B40 was spicy and its smoke density was very little as compared to all types of fuel samples. The novel finding of this study was that increasing the biodiesel in the blend increases brake power, and torque and reduces brake-specific fuel consumption.

Can Digital Inclusive Finance better serve the development of the real economy?
Authors: Zhang Saisai , Wei Jianbin
Published: May 2023

Abstract

For a long time, the development of financial services for the real economy has faced many dilemmas. However, can the digitalization of finance based on the new generation of information and communication technology solve this dilemma? By combining the CGSS2017 data, the digital financial inclusion data (2011-2018) of Peking University and the 2017 provincial statistical yearbooks, we choose to reflect the development of financial digitization by "whether or not to use WeChat payment/Alipay", and conduct an empirical analysis of the overall and heterogeneity of the impact of financial digitization on entrepreneurial activities. The study finds: (1) digital finance can promote entrepreneurial choice and performance in general, but the differential impact on both shows opposite trends; (2) by testing the mechanism, we find that digital finance eases the information constraint faced by entrepreneurs and improves the regional market environment, but leads to a slight decrease in the maximum loan amount received by entrepreneurs. Further analysis of variance across contexts finds: (1) the marginal effects of digital finance on entrepreneurial choice and entrepreneurial performance are higher in both better institutional contexts than in worse institutional contexts; (2) in both cultural and economic contexts, the facilitation effect of digital finance on entrepreneurial choice is significantly higher in better contexts than in worse contexts, but the opposite effect of digital finance on entrepreneurial performance is found, i.e., the marginal effect is higher in the poorer context than in the better context. The study reveals the complexity and multidimensionality of the impact of digital finance on entrepreneurial activity, and the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial choice and performance, reflecting that digital finance is a "double-edged sword" that can create a "digital divide" while promoting entrepreneurial activity the problem. The analysis of different contexts suggests that building the institutional environment, creating a cultural climate and ensuring macroeconomic stability are key to digital finance for entrepreneurial activities.

Genetic correlations between linear traits and milk production in Girolando cattle
Authors:   , Santos Mateus Guimarães dos
Published: May 2023

Productive traits have always guided genetic improvement programs, such as milk, fat and protein production. Other features were implemented over time to achieve gains in profitability and productive longevity, examples are age at first calving and calving interval. However, the production systems, which for the most part are extremely complex and diverse, pose a greater challenge to the animals. These in turn, may show a drop in performance due to lack of morphology. Works on morphology, known as linear traits, are an old practice in already consolidated breeds such as Holstein, however in animals of the Girolando breed, studies are scarce. The inclusion of new traits in genetic improvement programs requires a prior study of the impact of these new traits on those already evaluated, such as milk production. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe genetic parameters for all linear traits evaluated by the breeding program of the Girolando breed and their correlations between them and milk production. The phenotypic data of the twenty-two linear traits and milk production were provided by EMBRAPA – Dairy Cattle. The single trait models used were previously tested and validated, for the genetic correlations, that were obtained through the correlation of the estimated genetic values. High heritabilities were found for body conformation traits and rump measurements, the lowest for locomotor system, and from low to high for mammary system traits. The correlations were higher between body conformation and hip measurements, between linear and locomotor system the highest number of negative and unfavorable correlations were found. For milk production, most of the correlations were between -0.3 to 0.3, denoting that there is a direct impact on milk production due to the selection of sires for linear traits. In general terms, there is enough genetic variability for the practice of selection for the twenty-two linear traits, nine pairs of unfavorable correlations were found, these must be taken carefully when choosing future sires Keywords: Genetic Correlations. Milk Yield. Selection

Published: May 2023

Tarian kuda kepang adalah tari tradisi masyarakat Jawa. Proses ritual dilakukan sebelum persembahan tarian kuda kepang untuk mewujudkan keadaan mabuk dan terjadinya permainan kuda kepang. Kajian ini bertitik tolak daripada falsafah permainan kuda kepang yang mengandungi unsur trance (mabuk) dan menghujahkan amalan “kejawen” yang digunakan dalam proses ritual permainan kuda kepang bertujuan untuk mewujudkan keadaan mabuk ketika persembahan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengenal pasti hubungkait amalan tersebut dengan persembahan. Penulisan ini merupakan pengkajian yang mengambil kata kunci “kejawen”, iaitu amalan orang Jawa sebelum mereka beragama Islam. Penulisan jurnal ini menggunakan data yang diperoleh melalui kerja lapangan terhadap empat kumpulan sasaran kajian yang masih bergerak aktif di negeri Johor. Penelitian mengaplikasikan pendekatan kualitatif. Pengumpulan data melalui pemerhatian, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Tarian ini telah diharamkan dan dilarang persembahannya oleh mufti Negeri Johor kerana mengandungi unsur khurafat dan syirik dalam proses ritual yang dilakukan serta kewujudan mabuk (trance) dalam tarian tersebut. Justeru itu, objektif kajian adalah untuk membincangkan isu persembahan kuda kepang yang masih diteruskan. Teori ritual oleh Roy A. Rappaport digunakan untuk membuktikan perkaitan ritual di dalam persembahan tersebut, iaitu ritual yang dilakukan kerana terikat dengan amalan kejawen mereka. Kertas ini memberi penekanan terhadap pegangan amalan kejawen yang masih diamalkan oleh kumpulan kuda kepang yang dikaji. Di akhir kertas ini, dapat dijelaskan bahawa tanpa amalan kejawen, tidak akan berlaku keadaan mabuk dan tarian kuda kepang tidak akan terpisah dari strukturnya serta tidak akan terhasilnya permainan kuda kepang.

Surgical treatment of cleft lip and palate

Children with cleft lip and/or palate often undergo multiple surgical procedures to repair the lip and/or palate.

The lip closure is usually done between the ages of 3 and 6 months, which may or may not be preceded by presurgical orthopedic treatment. The techniques used for cleft lip repair vary between different teams and surgeons. In addition to a correct alignment of the lip parts, the restoration of the continuity of the orbicularis oris muscle and the correct positioning of the base of the nostril are important.

The timing and sequence of the hard and soft palate repair vary and are a trade-off between the beneficial effect of early palate repair on the velopharyngeal function and speech development, and the possible negative effect of palate repair on maxillary growth. The hard and soft palate can be closed simultaneously or in 2 operating times. Again, several techniques are available, always with the aim of achieving a complete closure of the mucosa without oronasal fistulas and with a functional velopharyngeal sphincter. For the latter, repositioning the palatine levators and restoring their continuity are crucial.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: While the financial performance of private companies has invoked intense interest globally, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between firm age and the financial performance of private limited companies in Uganda.

Methodology: The study adopted a positivist paradigm and a cross-sectional design. A structured self-administered questionnaire was deployed to gather quantitative data from Accountants, Auditors, CEOs, and Board Members who were purposively selected. Three hundred ninety-four private companies in Central and Western Uganda were sampled. The relationship was assessed using Pearson correlation and standard regression analysis techniques.

Findings: The study established a positive relationship between firm age and financial performance. It was established that firm age accounts for 14% of the variance in financial performance among private limited companies in Uganda. The study recommends that managers prioritize factors that guarantee the long-term existence of businesses by devising sound investment and operational policies that match the life-cycle stages of their firms.

Recommendations: This study cements our insights on a firm age-financial performance nexus in Uganda’s private sector and highlights the significance of age towards financial performance. Findings provide insights into devising promising business approaches and guide management in setting priorities to achieve long-term business survival and better financial performance.

Published: May 2023

The UI/UX (User Interface/User Experience) approach is an initial step in developing a conventional system into a computerized system or developing a computerized system to better suit user needs. In this research, the object raised is CV. Studio Reka Teknik, which is a consulting engineering and general trading service company with the process of conveying information, monitoring and paying for projects, still uses telephone media or meets in person. This causes project monitoring to be impossible in real time and the payment process becomes constrained due to the need to adjust the time to meet between the client and the developer. Therefore, in this research a web-based system was designed by adjusting the needs of the user experience on CV. Studio Reka Teknik. By utilizing the web engineering method, this built web-based system can help and facilitate users in monitoring projects and project payment processes using the system without having to meet directly between the client and the developer. This system will be used on CV. Studio Reka Teknik, which will continue to be monitored for the maintenance and development of this system. After that, if the system is optimal, it can also be applied to other contractor companies.

Published: May 2023

The study set out to reconstruct the history of the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society and how it contributed in the transformation of Barotseland from 1885-1905. Barotseland today is known as Western Province of Zambia. The study considered Barotseland as a study area and a period 1885-1905, because there was transformation on the political, social and economic organisation of many African societies in Barotseland. Data for this study was collected through primary and secondary sources. The secondary sources includes; books, journal, thesis and dissertations from the University of Zambia Repository and the main library. Primary sources includes; letters, notes books, annual reports, native reports, autobiographies and colonial administrative reports consulted from National Archive of Zambia (NAZ). Oral interviews was conducted to people who were linked with the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society. However, the study concluded that the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society in Barotseland contributed greatly in transforming the area through various activities such as introduction of the gospel, secular education, vocational training, agroforest and other agriculture practices. This outward influence was noticeable by variations in cultural and technological advancement of the Lozi people in Barotseland. These activities helped the Lozi people to become self-reliant and improved their standards of living.
Digitization of Electoral Process and` Democratic Consolidation: A Case of Ekiti and Osun State, Southwest, Nigeria
Authors: Adesiyan Emmanuel Ayobami
Published: May 2023

Liberal Democratic theorists have established a strong link between Democracy and Election. A high premium is thus placed on the integrity of election in the democratic project. In Nigeria, attempts at strengthening and consolidating democracy have always been frustrated by electoral fraud ranging from rigging, ballot snatching, unauthorized announcement of elections, illegal thumb-printing and most recently, vote buying. To arrest this she nanigan, the Country’s electoral rules introduced the use of Smart Card Reader as a technological innovation into the electoral process in 2015. A further step in this initiative was the introduction of the use of Bimodal Voters Accreditation System and Electronic Transmission of Result in the Electoral Act, 2022. This paper examines the use and consequences of the technology on Nigeria’s democratic future as demonstrated in the 2022 Ekiti and Osun governorship elections. It relies principally on secondary data generated from documented evidence of local and international election observers, archival materials, journals and texts. The content analyses revealed that there was effective deployment of Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) in the conduct of the two 2022 gubernatorial elections with minimal challenges in their functionality. This facilitated prompt release of the election results. Digitization and transmission of election results, if properly administered have the prospect of guaranteeing increased security of election and encouraging increased voters’ turnout as a result of perceived guarantee of electoral integrity. This portends good prospect for Nigeria’s democratic stability and institutionalization in future polls.

A tuberculose é uma doença relativamente simples e barata de diagnosticar, na maioria dos casos pode ser curada com tratamentos bem tolerados, eficazes e de baixo custo. No entanto, a tuberculose multirresistente continua a ser um grande desafio. O estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o nível de eficácia da linezolida no tratamento de tuberculose multirresistente. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, em que a questão norteadora foi “Linezolida é eficaz no tratamento de tuberculose multirresistente?”. A busca pelos artigos ocorreu nas principais bases de dados (PubMed, Scielo e Google Scholar) a partir dos termos “tuberculosis”, "linezolid" e “drug-resistant” combinados entre si por operadores booleanos. Resultados e discussão: a linezolida, tanto em substituição a medicamentos da terapia tradicional quanto em adição aos novos tratamentos de tuberculose multirresistente, se mostrou capaz de levar a desfechos positivos. Entretanto, a dose deve ser individualizada a cada paciente, devido a ocorrência de efeitos adversos, principalmente neuropatia periférica e mielossupressão. Conclusão: o uso de linezolida no tratamento de tuberculose multirresistente é eficaz na redução do tempo de intervenção medicamentosa e, principalmente, na resolução do quadro patológico. Entretanto, deve ser realizada análise cautelosa da dose administrada, visto que a medicação mostrou alta ocorrência de eventos adversos.

Com a evolução tecnológica, novas formas de obtenção e compartilhamento de informações têm sido possibilitadas, principalmente por meio da comunicação digital. As redes sociais on-line, por exemplo, são ferramentas presentes em grande parte das relações humanas, abrangendo diferentes áreas com uso da comunicação. Nesse contexto, o engajamento nas redes digitais tornou-se um indicativo relevante na compreensão do impacto ao público, visto que os perfis dos usuários são personalizados de acordo com similaridades de pensamentos, podendo influenciar em pontos ideológicos e/ou políticos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma análise do engajamento das páginas dos presidenciáveis nas redes digitais e comparar aos resultados das eleições de 2022. Como principal resultado, percebe-se que o engajamento dos presidenciáveis nas redes digitais não está associado aos resultados das eleições 2022. Contudo, no cenário político, a análise do engajamento ainda precisa ser moldada para além da pesquisa quantitativa. É necessário analisar o teor das interações dos possíveis aliados e também de não eleitores, bem como uma série de outras questões qualitativas, a fim de que a análise seja realizada de maneira mais minuciosa e assertiva.

Published: May 2023

Border surveillance is the utmost essential responsibility in the realm of national defense and security. It is imperative to maintain constant vigilance over a nation's borders to uphold tranquility and ensure the safety of its populace. Safeguarding border areas rigorously from such activities is particularly critical in the present climate, where terrorist infiltrations and illicit movements of both animate and inanimate entities have become commonplace due to technological advancements. Offering uninterrupted surveillance is the minimum action required to prevent such incidents in border regions. At present, the manual monitoring of borders is carried out by the border security forces responsible for this task.Due to the vast distances between the borders and the harsh terrain and climate, it requires a lot of people and resources. Designing it is therefore analytically critical to create an automatic weapon system that could also complete even without monitoring task requirement for human involvement. Implementing this system eliminates the need to continuously deploy personnel in hazardous situations. Moreover, the system should possess the ability to make appropriate decisions and take necessary actions while also notifying human controllers when suspicious activities are detected. Central control rooms can be located away from the border region. Once an alert is sent, humans must determine the subsequent course of action. When implemented effectively, this approach helps conserve resources and reduces risks to human life. Full automation of border monitoring is not currently viable due to safety concerns, but such technologies can certainly assist and work in conjunction with armed forces to protect a nation's borders

Purpose

A pandemic disease elicited by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a serious health issue due to infecting millions of people all over the world. Recent publications prove that artificial intelligence (AI) can be used for medical diagnosis purposes, including interpretation of X-ray images. X-ray scanning is relatively cheap, and scan processing is not computationally demanding.

Material and methods

In our experiment a baseline transfer learning schema of processing of lung X-ray images, including augmentation, in order to detect COVID-19 symptoms was implemented. Seven different scenarios of augmentation were proposed. The model was trained on a dataset consisting of more than 30,000 X-ray images.

Results

The obtained model was evaluated using real images from a Polish hospital, with the use of standard metrics, and it achieved accuracy = 0.9839, precision = 0.9697, recall = 1.0000, and F1-score = 0.9846.

Conclusions

Our experiment proved that augmentations and masking could be important steps of data pre-processing and could contribute to improvement of the evaluation metrics. Because medical professionals often tend to lack confidence in AI-based tools, we have designed the proposed model so that its results would be explainable and could play a supporting role for radiology specialists in their work.

ANALISIS SEMIOTIKA STRUKTURALIS DAN POST-STRUKTURALIS PADA DESAIN ILUSTRASI HANOMAN KARYA WAYAN BAYU
Authors: Artha A. A. Gede Dani
Published: May 2023

Bentuk penilaian suatu karya sangat dibutuhkan, untuk menakar seberapa besar pengaruh karya tersebut hadir dalam masyarakat. Atau sebaliknya seberapa besar pengaruh masyarakat terhadap seorang seniman dalam berkarya. Senada dengan bentuk penilaian seni rupa, karya desain juga demikian. Apakah ada pengaruh terhadap karya yang dirancang seorang desainer terhadap masyarakat atau sebaliknya. Hal inilah yang akan dibahas pada penelitian terkait analisis karya desain illustrasi dari Wayan Bayu. Adapun pendekatan metode yang digunakan untuk membedah analisis tersebut yaitu menggunakan semiotika dari Charles Sanders Pierce, yang terdiri dari icon, index, symbol, serta dipadukan dengan teori Dekonstruksi Jaques Derrida. Diharapkan dengan adanya analisis ini dapat dikembangkan menjadi khasanah pengetahuan baru terkait penerapan bentuk karya postmodernisme pada bidang desain komunikasi visual khususnya ilustrasi.
LUKISAN KALIGRAFI KARYA ARAHMAIANI DALAM PRESFEKTIF ANALISI WACANA KRITIS (AWK)
Authors: Husni Adril
Published: May 2023

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang membahas persoalan bentuk visual karya seni lukis kaligrafi Arahmaini, berjudul Lingga-Yoni tahun 1994. Karya ini pernah dicekal oleh kaum garis keras (radikal) kala itu, secara sepihak tanpa pemahaman yang jelas mereka menolak tegas gagasan Arahmaiani ini. Menurut mereka penulisan huruf Arab sebagai objek karya yang dihadirkan secara bersamaan dengan penggambaran dua bentuk menyerupai kelamin pria dan wanita, dianggap telah melecehkan kitab suci ajaran agama mereka. Sebab bagi mereka kitab suci yang menjadi tuntunan atau pedoman ajaran agama mereka, dalam penulisannya juga menggunakan huruf Arab. Sehingga mereka memahami bahwa, huruf Arab merupakan bagian yang sangat sakral dalam ajaran agama yang mereka anut. Hal ini mendasari peneliti melakukan pengkajian ulang terhadap karya Arahmaiani tersebut, yang peneliti analisis dengan menggunakan model Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) milik Tuen A Van Dijk. Persoalan ini penting dilihat ulang, untuk mengetahuai bagaimana sebenarnya gagasan yang hendak dibicarakan Arahmaiani dalam karya Lingga-Yoni tersebut. Sehingga masyarakat dapat melihat karya seni secara utuh, merupakan bagian dari produk budaya yang dibuat oleh seorang produsen (seniman) dalam upaya mewadahi gagasan yang lahir dari pemikrannya.

Koran bekas dapat didaur ulang menjadi sebuah material baru sebagai bahan dasar pembuatan furniture bergaya industrial. Furniture sangat dekat dengan manusia karena langsung berhubungan dan menjadi sebuah gaya hidup baru. Seiring perkembangan zaman, furniture juga mengalami perubahan dalam segi bentuk dan gaya sehingga menjadi sebuah industri yang besar. Furniture memiliki material yang beragam, salah satunya adalah kayu. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu material kayu akan habis karena banyaknya penggunaan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, muncul furniture dengan menggunakan material barang bekas. Salah satu barang bekas yang didaur ulang menjadi furniture adalah koran bekas. Koran bekas merupakan sampah kertas yang menjadi keresahan masyarakat. Sampah kertas menempati peringkat kedua terbanyak setelah sampah plastik. Koran bekas telah didaur ulang menjadi barang yang lebih bernilai seperti hiasan dinding, keranjang, tas, sandal, serta furniture. Daur ulang koran bekas yang diwujudkan menjadi barang baru termasuk dalam gerakan sustainable design. Namun dalam beberapa penciptaan furniture, koran bekas hanya dijadikan sebagai komponen pendukung. Beberapa penciptaaan sebenarnya telah menempatkan koran bekas sebagai material utama, namun koran bekas kurang diekspos dan kurang memiliki kekuatan yang memadahi serta kurang memiliki masa pakai yang lama. Pada penciptaan material koran bekas kali ini, koran bekas diciptakan dengan melakukan eksperimen. Eksperimen tersebut dilakukan dengan metode design thinking. Eksperimen dilakukan untuk menemukan formula yang tepat agar material koran sesuai dengan kriteria material furniture. Penggunaan barang bekas sebagai material furniture dapat diekspos sehingga menciptakan karakter tersendiri dan mendukung gaya industrial.
