USING THE PRINCIPLES OF CYBERNETICS IN MANAGING THE LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE CITY'S HOUSING COMPLEX
Authors:   Saratov State Technical University named after Gagarin Yu. A., Bashirzade R. R.
Published: January 2022

The COVID 19 pandemic, which has been ongoing for the second year, and its dynamics have a direct impact on the livelihoods of people in general and requires an update of the trends of mass housing construction in Russia that have developed in recent decades. The dynamics of housing construction in 2020 was characterized by a decrease in the commissioning of new housing, up to May, and an increase, starting from June. The trends of recent decades have focused on the high-density construction of residential buildings with predominantly small-sized apartments in the sector of mass residential development. And, as a result, there is a high concentration of the population in these areas. A distinctive feature of modern housing construction is the focus on closed modu- lar quarter complexes with individual courtyard areas, limited solely in the interests of residents. Modern trends in the planning of public spaces of the living environment are mostly focused on the massive one-to-one stay of people, which also leads to their high concentration in a limited space. The need for distance and self-isolation requires the opposite, i.e. a specific distance and “discharging” the localization of people in a certain space, which to a certain extent contradicts the current trends of residential complexes in the city. In addition, in connection with the restrictions on transport and pedestrian movement in a pandemic, the functional load on the local level increases. The pandemic itself leads to the formation of a tendency to localize people. To ensure the functioning of enterprises and the life of people, the number of people wor- king at home is increasing, local groups of daytime stay of children are being formed, the conditions of leisure and rest are being revised and reformatted, and remote technologies of social and service services are being developed. Thus, a revision and optimal, fundamentally new solutions are required not only in the field of organizing mass residential development based on the principles of spatial and functional freedom, but also in the mobility and transformability of both objects and residential areas. The normal functio- ning of residential areas requires a correspon- ding transformation of the logistics network and optimization of the operational flows of providing residential complexes and the city as a whole with everything necessary. In a pande- mic, solving these issues can be considered a task of ensuring the economic security of municipalities and the country as a whole.

The purpose of the study is to introduce elements of digitalization and automation into the judicial workflow. Particular attention in this work is paid to the transition to the new realities of modern society – the widespread digitalization of various spheres of human life and activities on the basis of projects, strategies, laws and concepts adopted and put into effect by the Government of the Russian Federation. The main provisions of the introduced normative documents related to the computerization of document circulation are given, and the main results of their adoption are listed. The article also considered the advantages and disadvantages of introducing an electronic system for the provision of court proceedings. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the proposal to create not only a specialized document management system for the judicial authorities, but also in the development of a regulatory document – regulations for maintaining, processing, storing and submitting documents for submitting them in electronic form and further using them as court procee- dings materials. The proposed regulation touches upon the issues of the format, name and rules of registration of the documents provided. As a result of the study, the need for interconnection of the proposed developments was identified. The issue of the functioning of the digital document management application for the judiciary was also raised, and measures were proposed and considered to ensure the safety and security of case materials in the context of the implementation of the proposals presented. In the article, the author proposed some aspects of the requirements that need to be included in the newly developed regulation in order to ensure maximum understanding, simplicity and legality in the proposed workflow program for further improving the judicial sphere.

The stability of the industry is determined by the efficiency of the organizations, therefore it is important to conduct an individual performance assessment. Scientific organizations provide information and methodological support for industrial sectors, as well as create, test and implement innovative developments. Evaluation of the effectiveness of a scientific organization is made up of various indicators, but recently a group of indicators reflecting publication activity has gained particular popularity. Publication activity does not fully reflect the activities of a scientific organization, but at the same time it can be used in comparative analysis, in building trends, in the planning process, etc. The convenience of such an assessment of activities is beyond doubt, but the objectivity is questionable and requires additional data. Currently, publication activity indicators are the main publicly available method for assessing the work of a scientific organization. In this regard, the need for correct methodology and data provision increases. Evaluation of the activities of FSBSI FRASC is carried out on the basis of data from the eLibrary.ru information base, the information of which is publicly available and, if necessary, will allow a comparative analysis.The assessment of publication acti- vity is carried out using citation indices, it consists not only of considering the number of articles by the authors of the scientific center, but also a qualitative analysis of journals, the number of authors in the article, the frequency of citation and the demand for publications, other printed publications of the scientific center are considered. This approach improves the reliability of the estimate. Thus, the use of a citation index, taking into account the shortcomings of this method, can give an objective assessment of publication activity and determine the directions for increasing the effectiveness of a scientific organization.

MORPHOSCRIPT DATA MODEL AND ARABIC MORPHOLOGICAL AUTOMATA
Authors: Chenfour Noureddine , Abdelmoumni Sonia
Published: January 2022

This paper presents an automata-based Arabic morphology analyzer and an object-oriented data model. Arabic morphology is too complex to model exhaustively with classical approaches. Therefore, the first issue of this paper is the proposal of an adequate data model representing Arabic morphological components and related building rules. Our proposed MorphoScript model is a declarative and object-oriented language using classes, inheritance, and aggregation as basic supports to define the morphological components and all possible morphological links between them. The data model is also based on an annotation indexing system for semantic enrichment of the morphology knowledge. The other contribution of this paper is the compilation of the data model into a deterministic finite-state automaton that represents morphological knowledge. The produced AMA (Arabic Morphological Automaton) constitutes the nucleus of the final proposed morphological analyzer. As a result, the MorphoScript language allowed us to represent the morphological knowledge base in a readable and extremely optimal data model. On the other hand, the morphological automata generated from the MorphoScript database make the morphological process very fast, simple, and deterministic. Moreover, the compilation process is fully automatic, so we can update any morphological rule or component and run the compiler to automatically obtain a new version of the automaton.

Authors: Zakaria Rabia , Ali Indra Haryanto
Published: January 2022

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder experienced by adolescents, and its major symptom, including pain, adversely affect daily life and school performance. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Abdominal Stretching Exercises and Sanyinjiao Acupressure to relieve dysmenorrhea pain. The method was quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. Thirty students were acquired as the research samples from the total population of 123 female students who experience dysmenorrhea. This study also involved an observation sheet, pain measurement scale, and standard operating procedure. Dysmenorrhea pain was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The result indicated that the average score of dysmenorrhea pain intensity in female students pre-abdominal stretching exercise is 4.27 (moderate category), and post-treatment decreases to 1.93 (mild category). Moreover, the average pain intensity in female adolescents under the pre-Sanyinjiao acupressure technique is 4.40 (moderate category), and post-treatment decreases to 0.67 (normal category). All in all, abdominal stretching exercise therapy contributed to relieving dysmenorrhea pain with a p-value of 0.004. In addition, the Sanyinjiao technique was deemed effective in relieving dysmenorrhea pain (p-value = 0.001). On top of that, the study discovered a less significant difference between both therapy techniques in dysmenorrhea treatment (p-value = 0.317). Abdominal stretching exercises and the Sanyinjiao acupressure technique are equally effective in reducing dysmenorrhea intensity. These novel results highlight the need to apply to female adolescents if they experience dysmenorrhea pain.

Published: January 2022

This research constructs a financial condition index (FCI) for Vietnam to explore the macro-financial linkages in the country. This index is constructed by applying the principal components analysis (PCA) method. The FCI is constructed using monthly data from 2000 to 2020 and is based on a set of financial variables, including variables that define the state of international financial markets, asset prices, interest rate spreads, stock market, bond market, and monetary aggregates. We found that FCI could predict the fluctuations of the industrial index and inflation rate from 1 to 3 months in Vietnam. This result plays an important role in helping policymakers and investors in the market to make relevant decisions in the management and investment in the financial market.

Published: January 2022

This research aims to investigate the characteristic of hydrology in the Krukut River. However, it studies an interesting floodplain like the riparian buffer zone (RBZ). RBZ is close adjacent to the river waters, generally accompanied by shrubs and the other crops along a river. It is useful for stabilizing the streams and minimizing the flood damages. The development of a region will impact the surrounding ecosystem that has been a developed human activity along the river, one of which is the Krukut River. The methodology consists of hydrological analysis for finding the characteristic of hydrology. The hydrology is analyzed using the water discharge data of Krukut River headwater. However, the maximum water discharge frequency is analyzed by using two models that are a) Log Pearson distribution and b) Gumbel distribution. The observations are made during the survey reveal that RBZs and floodplain areas are dominated by human habitation on both banks. The result of the analysis showed that human habitation accounts for 77.5% and 22.5% respectively, different types of vegetation such as shrubs account for 10.5%, shrubs – for 5%, and erosion – for 7%, so the environmental conditions of the river are directly disturbed due to excessive human activities. The result indicates that in order to stabilize the river banks, the riparian can be cropped by humans for a specific aim, reducing water loss by the evaporation and reducing the flood damage risk in low-lying areas that may be the location near to the water.

Published: January 2022

The senior population quickly grows in many countries, affecting individuals and families. Also, it has a large impact on both the economy and society. The changes have impacted the happiness of the elderly, who should be cared for through health promotion in order for them to be able to care for themselves. This study was aimed to identify the happiness of the elderly, socio-economic status, and health-related factors with the happiness of the elderly in Thailand. This cross-sectional study was performed using the data from the National Statistical Office of Thailand: Report of the survey of elderly in Thailand 2017. Data has been collected from 33,343 individuals by using a structured questionnaire. The multi-level analysis was performed to identify the socio-economic status, health-related factors with the happiness of the elderly in Thailand by controlling the effect of other covariates. The result was presented with an adjusted OR and 96% confidence interval. Among 33,343 individuals of the elderly, 65.93% (95% CI: 0.654-0.664) stated that they were happy. Factor associated with happiness of elderly in Thailand were; income adequate and left for saving (adj.OR=6.50; 95% CI: 5.60 – 7.55, p-value<0.001), the Social-Bound Elderly (adj.OR = 2.08; 95% CI = 1.58-2.73, p-value < 0.001), exercise regularly (adj.OR = 2.08; 95%CI = 1.06-2.20, p-value < 0.001), Self Care of Elderly (adj.OR = 2.32; 95% CI = 2.09-2.59, p-value < 0.001), received health information from an internet (adj.OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 2.07-2.89, p-value < 0.001). A happy senior person can take care of their health, whether by regular exercise, health care, or having a better socio-economic status; therefore, the government should focus on laying down a foundational policy to make the elderly happy. This affects physical and mental health, an important factor in preventing disease and living as an important force in sustainable development.

Published: January 2022

Health-related quality of life (QoL) has become an essential outcome measure for patients with chronic kidney disease CKD. People with CKD experience reduced QoL because of the high symptom and treatment burden. However, many factors can be improved to support QOL. This study aimed to assess QoL among pre-dialysis CKD patients in the Northeast of Thailand and determine the factors associated with their QOL using stratified random sampling to respond to a self-administered structured questionnaire. The multiple linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with quality of life. Moderate QoL (49.1%) was diagnosed in 347 pre-dialysis CKD patients. The multiple linear regression observed that factors associated with moderate QoL including depression (95%CI = 0.2.92,2.20; p < 0.001), income (95%CI = 0.00,0.00; p < 0.001), age (95%CI = -0.36-0.09; p = 0.001), sex (95%CI = -8.48-1.59; p = 0.004), co-disease (95%CI = -6.39-1.10; p = 0.006), and caregiver (95% CI = 0.56,13.16; p = 0.033), all variables can be predicted 049.3%. The findings indicate an issue that should be addressed to improve the patients’ QoL. Therefore, public health interventions should be developed and implemented to improve QoL among pre-dialysis CKD patients by focusing on older female patients with depression, low income, co-disease, and caregivers. These findings provided insight into several associations between pre-dialysis patient variables and their QoL. Healthcare providers should be aware of low QoL among elderly females with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease, depression, low income, co-disease, and patients without caregivers to improve their quality of life.

Published: January 2022

This research aims to evaluate the relationship between e-reward communication, procedural fairness, and work-related attitudes. Based on an established theoretical framework, this research attempts to provide empirical evidence on the inconclusive findings of the intervening role of procedural fairness in an effective reward system. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from employees in a Malaysian tertiary education sector. The quality of survey data and research hypotheses were analyzed using the SmartPLS. The results show that the ability of administrators to deliver reward information through electronic devices has strongly evoked employees’ perceptions of procedural fairness. As a result, this perception may lead to an upgraded organizational commitment and job satisfaction. This finding offers useful recommendations to be used by practitioners in maintaining and supporting their strategic vision and missions in times of globalization and turbulent economy.

Authors: Pawenang Eram Tunggul , Qadrijati Isna , Pranoto  , Hartono
Published: January 2022

Pesticides are potential chemicals widely used in the agricultural sector to tackle pests and plant diseases. However, pesticides, for instance, profenofos, can pose a risk of poisoning to farmers. It is necessary to prevent profenofos exposure through early detection using rhodamine 6G. The detection of the reaction between profenofos and rhodamine 6G requires an optimum medium. This study aimed to test the optimum medium to facilitate the reaction of profenofos and rhodamine 6G. Five media variations were utilized, including paper, hand plaster, panty liner, diaper, and hydrogel. The detection was performed by spraying profenofos at various concentrations, ranging from 100 to 400 ppm on respective media. The study adopted a rhodamine 6G and profenofos reaction sensitivity test on those five media. It applied both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The qualitative analysis aimed to observe various concentrations of profenofos based on the changes of colors on respective media, in which (+) marked the medium sensitivity while (-) indicated insensitivity. The quantitative analysis utilized a ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry to measure the changes of colors based on the reaction of profenofos with rhodamine 6 G. Both qualitative and quantitative tests showed no changes of colors on paper, hand plaster, panty liner, and diaper. In contrast, hydrogel reflected the changes of colors based on the increasing concentrations of profenofos. The research recommends hydrogel as an optimum medium for the early detection of profenofos pesticide exposure.

Published: January 2022

The introduction of the competency-based approach (CBA) in 2000 at Moroccan schools led to the establishment of a new pedagogy (integration pedagogy) and the revision of the evaluation system while favoring the use of the formative function of evaluation. However, on the ground, this change does not make it possible to diagnose the pupils' difficulties and then help them remedy them. Our study describes Moroccan teachers' current formative evaluation practices of life and earth sciences (LES) as they implement them in their daily classroom practices and consequently. It is needed to identify the gap between the real and the prescribed, that is to say, between the practices described and those targeted by the orientations and official directives, which are based on the competency-based approach, which puts the learner at the heart of the act of learning. In November 2019, we conducted an anonymous questionnaire for 115 LES teachers working in several Moroccan high schools. The results show that the formative assessment practices of most teachers do not follow the guidelines described and recommended by the curriculum, ranging from the planning and preparation of these assessments to the real and active involvement of learners. The teaching approach adopted by the ministry (CBA) remains marginal in classrooms because of its complexity and requirements, which remain far removed from the concrete conditions of its implementation.

Published: January 2022

Generally, older adults are highly at risk of falls resulting in severe injuries such as fractured bones or death. Injury from falls amongst the elderly is widely accepted as a critical health problem. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and health correlations of falls in a rural population-based community-dwelling sample of older people in Maha Sarakham. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 10 sub-districts of Maha Sarakham, and 1,519 people aged > 50 years were systematically randomly selected. The sample provided information about sociodemographic and various health variables, including falling down history in last year. Overall, 12.1% had one or more falls in the past year; 15.5% of women and 8.7% of men. In a binary logistic regression model, having two or more chronic conditions (Adj. OR=2.08, 95%CI=1.3, 3.33, p-value=0.002), a vision problem (Adj. OR=1.85, 95%CI=1.20, 2.84, p-value=0.005), and sleep impairment (Adj. OR=1.56, 95%CI=1.03, 2.37, p-value=0.034) were potential risk factors of having fallen during the past year. This study highlights several older people with fall risk in rural areas of Maha Sarakham. Several risk factors were identified that could help in designing fall-prevention strategies. The health care providers at primary care units in Maha Sarakham’s rural areas should be aware of health promotion for fall prevention, and there needs to be more concern about a routine screening of falls in the older adult population.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENCY IN INDONESIAN AND MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT FOR ERADICATION OF CORRUPTIONS
Authors: Mu’adi Sholih
Published: January 2022

This study aims to analyze and compare the implementation of strategies and policies of anti-corruption institutions in the Indonesian and Malaysian governments in corruption eradication measures and to find out the results of the comparison that can be used as recommendations. The research method uses a qualitative approach, analyzing studies on anti-corruption institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia. The study results indicate that each country has specific strategies and policies in eradicating corruption. Political factors, history, cultural background, and community conditions in these two countries will greatly influence policymaking in eradicating corruption. However, what is more, significant is the legal action of the perpetrators of corruption. Both countries show their respective characters and ways to crackdown on corruption. Indonesia tends to prioritize procedural and bureaucratic aspects. While the Malaysian government emphasizes auditing practices for all sectors deemed prone to corruption, the bureaucracy is simpler and faster, and the system has been implemented with international quality management. Therefore, the two countries have held bilateral cooperation to eradicate corruption as a means of the joint study, helping each other and filling each other's weaknesses and shortcomings.

Published: January 2022

Monitoring abnormal events in a crowded scene is essential these days, especially with the increase in surveillance cameras in most, if not all, places. This has made the field of computer vision an active field of research in recent periods. Identifying abnormal events in a crowded scene as soon as possible is essential, especially from the security side. It is a cumbersome and challenging task for humans because there are many surveillance cameras and overcrowding. Computer vision can solve this problem and get accurate and high results. This paper proposes a convolutional neural network architecture for anomaly detection in videos. The proposed convolutional neural network model has been trained to recognize anomaly frames. The performance of the proposed network has been evaluated using Avenue and UCSD standard datasets designed to identify anomalies events in crowded scenes. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving an AUC of 71.96% and 89.52% on Avenue and UCSD Pde2 datasets. A detailed analysis of the experiments used to choose the parameters is presented and compared with other methods.

Published: January 2022

Olive oil and turkey livestock activities in Morocco generate huge quantities of olive pomace and turkey manure, which cause soil, water, and environmental pollution. Composting is a suitable solution for these bio-wastes. This work aimed to study co-composting parameters evolution of three-phase olive pomace (OP) and turkey manure (TM) and evaluate final composts’ quality. Four heaps (OP+TM+wheat straw) were composted at different initial carbon-nitrogen (C/N) ratios (20 and 28), moistened as needed, and turned manually once or twice a week in the open air. The studied parameters have experienced ups and downs over time depending on different phases of composting and according to the initial heaps’ composition. Final composts were stable and mature with pH around neutrality, significant total nitrogen and nitrate content enhancement, and a significant reduction in organic matter for the two heaps with final values higher than 43.66%. There was a significant decrease in the C/N ratio for all heaps with final values between 11 and 13, proving the composts' stability. The increase in CEC (Cation exchange capacity) was significant with final values > 90.76 meq 100g-1, proving good humification as well as that of CEC/Organic carbon ratio (CEC/OC) with final values >1.7 proving final composts’ maturity. These results are beneficial firstly for Moroccan small-scale olive oil factories and poultry livestock farming, as it confirms the effectiveness of low-cost heap composting to manage their by-products. Secondly, farmers can use the obtained compost as an organic amendment to improve the soil's physicochemical properties and increase productivity.

This study aims to ensure the role of the circular cylinder as a passive control in creating flow interaction between the circular cylinder and the returning turbine blade behind it, and this new concept is enabled to improve the performance of the Savonius turbine. It was carried out numerically and experimentally by installing a circular cylinder on the upstream side of the returning turbine blade with a ratio of the cylinder diameter to the turbine rotor diameter (d/D) of 0.54. The cylinder is installed at a position relative to the rotor diameter (S/D), which remains constant at 1.4, and it is operated at Reynolds number (Re) = 140,000. The results indicate an excellent agreement between numerical and experimental results, where the relative deviation of less than 1.0% is practically negligible. Both results have also agreed that the presence of the circular cylinder as passive control on the upstream side of the returning turbine blade can increase the efficiency of the Savonius turbine. Increases in maximum power coefficient of about 8.8% and 10.2% have been obtained for numerical and experimental work.

Restrictions on people activities due to COVID-19 have caused many train trips to be canceled. In addition, people are still afraid to use public transportation because it is considered a breeding ground for viruses. Therefore, the protocol for preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the health aspect must be carried out properly on rail transport to reduce people's worries. This study aims to evaluate the minimum service standards related to the COVID-19 health protocol on Penataran Train while adopting new habits. There are fifteen research variables based on regulations from several institutions focused on this research. 417 respondents filled out the online questionnaire. Kano model analysis determines the best minimum service standards based on respondents' perceptions. Then, the quality function deployment analysis is used to obtain service improvement priorities. The results showed that seven variables were in the One dimensional category, and three were in the Attractive category. Of the ten variables that become ideal service standards, provision of hand sanitizers, cleaning trains with disinfectant, and checking body temperature must receive special priority. Social distancing facilities on the floor and information on preventing the spread of COVID-19 via visual are two of the recommended services to be implemented on Penataran Train during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indonesia is influenced by two types of monsoons, namely, the Asian and Australian monsoons. The differences in conditions occurring during these monsoon phenomena can affect sea surface temperatures (SSTs). This study aims to determine the effect of these monsoons on the SSTs in the southeast Indian Ocean and the Indonesian throughflow (ITF) region. SST and geostrophic current data obtained from Copernicus Marine Service and surface wind speed and direction data from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from March 2019 to February 2020 were statistically and descriptively analyzed. Observational conductivity–temperature–depth (CTD) data obtained in December 2019 were used to identify statistical errors in the Copernicus Marine Service SST data. The results of the SST data verification show a 0.85°C RMSE and 0.6°C MAE; they are significantly correlated at 0.82 with a 95% confidence level. The results of this study generally show that geostrophic currents move to the east, and SST tends to be warmer during the Asian monsoon period than during the Australian monsoon period, which has a cooler SST (with geostrophic currents moving to the northwest). Specifically, the SST conditions in the ITF region and southeast Indian Ocean cool from the MAM period. This cooling period intensifies during the JJA period and subsides in the SON period. The Australian monsoon, which is dominant during the DJF period, causes warmer-than-average SST conditions in the northern part of Indonesia, particularly the northern part of the ITF.
Plasma oxidation as an effective method in etching copper interconnect lines at room-temperature

Published: January 2022

The oxygen plasma-copper reaction has been proved effective in preparing copper fine patterns at room temperature. The oxidized copper film is composed of crystalline CuO and Cu2O with a granular structure due to the volume expansion. The time-dependent oxide growth progresses in three stages with different mechanisms: penetration of native oxide, oxidation kinetics, and transportation of precursors through the porous oxide layer. The vertical copper profile is obtained from the anisotropic oxidation due to the acceleration of oxygen ions from the cathode self-bias voltage. The plasma oxidation etching method is applicable to a wide range of nano and microelectronics.

Biometrics refers to the metrics of the human characteristics which has gained much popularity in recent times. It is a form of identification and access control. Widely used forms of biometrics are facial recognition, finger print recognition, iris recognition, etc. but the drawback is that most of these features change over time. The human ear is a cogent source of data to classify biometrically since its attributes do not change substantially as time progresses. This paper explores the field of ear biometric wherein the database images are re-sized to 128 x 256 pixels and then converted to grayscale image. Various transforms viz. Discrete Cosine Transform, Discrete Fourier Transform, Discrete Wavelet Transform are then applied to extract the features. The coefficients of the test image are compared with the coefficients of the registered database image. On comparison, Euclidean distance classifier is used to recognize the test image from the database. The database used consists of 25 subjects with 6 images per person out of which the initial 4 images are used to train the model, and the remaining 2 for testing. The outputs of various transforms were compared and the best accuracy obtained is 86% using Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Students who memorize the Qur'an in carrying out their duties on campus and in Islamic boarding schools simultaneously make students inconsistent with the process of memorizing the Qur'an. It takes motivation and self-concept to minimize procrastination by knowing self-image through experiences from interactions with the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of self-concept, motivation, procrastination in students who memorized the Qur'an and the relationship between self-concept and procrastination, motivation and procrastination, as well as self-concept and motivation with delays in memorizing students. The method used is quantitative with a purposive sampling technique. The research sample amounted to 58 people. The scale used is CVR (Content Validity Ratio) and then analyzed using Pearson correlation calculations. The results showed a negative and significant relationship between self-concept and memorization procrastination. This is indicated by the correlation coefficient (rxy) of -0.536 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). The higher the self-concept of students, the lower the procrastination of memorizing students. While the results of the study between memorization motivation and memorization procrastination showed a positive correlation. This is indicated by the correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.461 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). These results indicate no significant correlation between memorization motivation and memorization procrastination.
