Published: December 2023

.The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between two variables of temperature and precipitation with vegetation dynamics in one of the arid and semi-arid regions of the world, i.e. Baluchistan in Southwestern Asia, which is shared by the three countries of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In order to achieve the objectives, two different databases were used: 1. MODIS NDVI 16-day composite products (MOD13A3) of Terra satellite, with 1*1 km spatial resolution, which was obtained for a 17-year period (2000-2016) from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Data Gateway of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); 2. Gridded monthly temperature and precipitation data was obtained for the same 17-year period from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was also used to examine the relationship between vegetation dynamics and two climate variables of temperature and precipitation simultaneously as well as in three time lags i.e.; one month, two months and three months. The results of the analysis of a correlation between the mean temperature and monthly NDVI in different time lags indicated that in the humid and semi-humid regions in the northern half of Baluchistan, NDVI simultaneously reacted to temperature variations, while in the arid and semi-arid regions in the southern half of Baluchistan, NDVI had a one-month time lag with temperature. However, the results of the analysis of a correlation between precipitation and monthly NDVI in different time lags indicated that NDVI simultaneously reacted to precipitation variations, that is precipitation of each month had the greatest effect on the NDVI of the same month.

Published: December 2023

A field experiment was conducted at Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam during rabi 2018-19 for assessing the PAR interception and radiation use efficiency in potato variety Kufri Jyoti under different microclimates, which was planted in split plot design with 4 dates of plantings and three mulching treatments with water hyacinth, black polythene and without mulching. The incident, reflected and transmitted PAR were measured periodically over the crop with line quantum sensor and daily incident radiation were calculated from incident PAR and bright sunshine hours. The interception of PAR (iPAR) varied considerably among different treatments, while highest iPAR was recorded under first date of planting and mulching treatment with water hyacinth. The leaf area index (LAI) and biomass production was highest in crop planted in first date planting and grown under water hyacinth mulch. The RUE for tuber yield was highest under water hyacinth (2.35 g MJ-1) followed by black polythene (2.03 g MJ-1) and non-mulched (1.67 g MJ-1) condition, while among planting dates it was highest in case of first date of planting. The  LAI, biomass production and yield of potato were found to be significantly correlated with iPAR and RUE. The predictive models were developed by using stepwise regression method to predict tuber yield from iPAR and REU, which have R2 value of 0.96 and 0.99, respectively.

Authors: M RAJAVEL , Agnihotri Dr. Geeta
Published: December 2023

Daily Average Areal Precipitation (AAP) data of South West Monsoon Season for 2012 to 2020 in respect of sub-basins of Cauvery river basin were collected alongwith synoptic systems causing rainfall in the sub-basins. Five synoptic systems namely Depression/Deep Depression, low/well marked low(WML) pressure area, Upper air cyclonic circulations(UAC), off-shore trough(OST)/OST with embedded cyclonic circulations, east-west shear zone  are considered in the study. Rainfall(AAP) caused by these systems considered are 11-25mm, 26-50mm, 51-100mm and > 100mm. Number of days for which these systems caused rainfall under each range was computed. The rainfall range with highest frequency for the particular system is taken as Synoptic Analogue Model. OST/OST with embedded cyclonic circulation has contributed significantly to rainfall in all the sub-basins. Depression/Deep Depression over Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, South Interior Karnataka or North Interior Karnataka provides > 50mm rainfall in Harangi basin. Depression/Deep Depression over Rayalaseema, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry, South Interior Karnataka or North Interior Karnataka provides > 50mm rainfall in Harangi basin. Low/Well Marked Low over Telangana provides > 50mm rainfall in Hemavathy basin. Upper Air Cyclonic circulation(UAC) over Rayalaseema provides > 50mm rainfall in Kabini basin. UAC over Rayalaseema, South East Bay of Bengal or West Central Bay of Bengal off Coastal Andhra Pradesh leads to >100 mm rain in Harangi. UAC over Coastal Karnataka and North Interior Karnataka or OST from Konkan Goa/Maharashtra to Karnataka leads to >100 mm rain in Upper Vaigai.

Homogenizing Monthly Rainfall and Temperature Data Series in Maharashtra & Goa
Authors: Wagh Nilesh , Guhathakurta Pulak
Published: December 2023

Annual rainfall and temperature data series of all climate stations in Maharashtra & Goa are statistically tested for data homogeneity. To inspect homogeneity of a station, a two-step approach is followed. First, four homogeneity tests Standard normal homogeneity test, Pettit’s test, Buishand’s range test and Von Neumann ration test at 5% level of significance are used to determine test hypothesis for homogeneity on testing parameters of annual rainfall and temperature. Second, results from all these four tests aggregated together into three different classes as ‘useful’, ‘doubtful’ and ‘suspect’. Here 30 rainfall, 29 maximum and minimum temperature climate stations were tested. The results showed 80% stations as ‘useful’, 7% as ‘suspect’ and 13% as ‘doubtful’ for rainfall, for maximum temperature series these results are 17% as ‘useful’, 7% as ‘suspect’ and 76% as ‘doubtful’, while for minimum temperature series these results are 21% as ‘useful’, 10% as ‘suspect’ and 69% as ‘doubtful’. Further, in this study an attempt is also made to correct the monthly rainfall and temperature data series for homogeneity. Stations categorised as ‘useful’ are used as reference series to remove inhomogeneities from ‘suspect’ and ‘doubtful’ stations. To correct rainfall series ratio’s method is used while for temperature series addition method is used. Correction results showed significant improvement in ‘suspect’ category stations. After correction of inhomogeneous series, the results shows all 100% of rainfall stations and more than 65% of temperature stations are now in ‘useful’ category. The corrected stations may be included in further climate research studies.

Authors: ESSA KHALED S. M. , ETMAN SOAD M. , EL-OTAIFY MAHA S. , EMBABY M.
Published: December 2023

The mathematical formulation of the concentration of the diffusing particles in air was derived by solving analytically the advection-diffusion equation taking into consideration: (1) the vertical variation of wind speed and eddy diffusivity with height above ground. (2) the vertical diffusion is limited by an elevated impenetrable inversion layer located at the top of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) of height h.  (3) the dry deposition of the diffusing particles at the ground surface which was included through the boundary conditions. A power law profile is used to describe the vertical variation of eddy diffusivity with height, while the sum of power law profile and logarithmic law is used to describe the vertical variation of wind speed with height above ground surface. The decay distance of a pollutant along the wind direction was derived.  The present solution was evaluated against the dataset from Hanford diffusion experiment in stable conditions. The results are discussed and presented in illustrative figures.
Future projections of precipitation and temperature extremes at Sohra (Cherrapunji) using Statistical Downscaling Model
Authors: KALITA RAJU , KALITA DIPANGKAR , SAXENA ATUL
Published: December 2023

The Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM 4.2) is used to project the future precipitation and maximum and minimum temperatures at Sohra, one of the extreme places on earth, using the predictors of the Second-Generation Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2). The SDSM was calibrated with daily precipitation and temperature data from 1979 to 2005 and validated from 2006 to 2020. Future scenarios generated under the three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5 are divided into three future periods, Near Future (2021-2040), Mid Future (2041-2071), and Far Future (2071-2100). It is found that the precipitation and maximum/minimum temperature at Sohra are influenced mainly by the major global predictors; specific humidity at 850 hPa height (s850) and mean temperature at 2 m (temp)/near surface specific humidity (shum), respectively. The downscaled result reveals an increase in Monsoon precipitation in the range of 266-1543 mm under various RCPs compared with the base periods 1985-2005 during the Near Future and 1979-2008 during the Mid and Far Future. Also, annual maximum and minimum temperature increases in the range of 1-2.8 °C and 1.2-3.6 °C for all RCPs in the future.

Authors: NASKAR PRAVAT RABI , PATTANAIK DUSHMANTA RANJAN
Published: December 2023

This study has been undertaken to find out the variation of central pressure (intensity) of intense Tropical Cyclones (TCs) with Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Mid-tropospheric Relative Humidity (MRH), Mid-tropospheric Instability (MI), Vertical Wind Shear (VWS), 200-hPa divergence, and Surface Latent Heat Flux (SLHF) during the lifetime intense TCs. This study also aims to determine the most crucial parameter which shows the highest correlation with central pressure (intensity) of intense TCs during their lifetime. Out of all these parameters, SLHF is highly correlated (R = 0.74) with the central pressure (intensity) of intense TCs. Increase and decrease of SLHF correspond to decrease and increase of TCs central pressure (increase and decrease in TCs intensity). The highest SLHF corresponds to the lowest central pressure (highest intensity).

The metropolis Jakarta is a place where floods often occur which are detrimental to both property and life. Weather forecast information released by Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG) has very important in anticipating this disaster. Hence, it is important to pay attention to the weather forecast accuracy. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of variations accuracy in rain events of the Jakarta area includes Central Jakarta, East Jakarta, West Jakarta, North Jakarta, South Jakarta, Bekasi, Tangerang, Depok, and Bogor as known Jabotabek. School of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics or STMKG Weather Care developed voluntary observations of weather conditions especially rain events. Respondents filled out the form whether there was rain in the location where they lived and would be evaluated using the dichotomous method. This study shows the accuracy of rain prediction in the Jabotabek area of 66.8%, with prediction failures generally is an overestimation. The highest number of correct predictions occurred when the location was not raining. Moreover, the best accuracy is in Bekasi City and South Jakarta and West Jakarta is the worst. The evaluation confirms that it is not easy to predict rain events in a detailed location and the prediction terms used.
Enhancing Web Application Security: A Deep Learning and NLP-based Approach for Accurate Attack Detection
Authors: Hien Do Thi Thu , Hau Pham Van
Published: December 2023

Abstract— Nowadays, web attacks have become more complicated, leading to the difficulty of traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) in recognizing those threats, especially when dealing with new attacks. Hence, machine learning/deep learning (ML/DL) approaches have been applied to the field of web attack detection with proven success. However, most existing ML/DL-based web attack detectors focus on a specific type of attack due to the difference in the payload of various attacks, which sets a border to the capability of those solutions in detecting new attack types. In this paper, we propose a novel DL-based solution for web attack detection, named DL-WAD, leveraging deep learning and natural language processing techniques. Moreover, DL-WAD is designed with a data preprocessing mechanism aimed at differentiating between regular web requests and malicious ones that carry attack payloads encompassing multiple types of web attacks. The experiment results indicate the effectiveness of our solution in protecting the target web services from a wide range of attacks with high accuracy.

Abstract— The paper presents the results of an analysis of the decrease in cryptographic strength of the most common symmetric ciphers, taking into account the development of cryptanalytic methods. The vector of the threat to the reduction of information confidentiality stored and processed in information systems in the long term has been determined. An approach to constructing hybrid ciphers, based on the symbiosis of a composite cipher and the Vernam cipher, has been proposed to enhance the asymptotic cryptographic strength of symmetric cryptographic systems used for data encryption in information systems, the relevance of stored and processed information in which does not significantly decrease over time. For instance, this is applicable to information systems built on distributed ledger technology (blockchain networks).
Reconocimiento al mérito en el servicio civil: Criterios utilizados para la identificación de buenas prácticas de gestión en la administración pública
Authors: Cárdenas Valdivia Carlos Alberto , Tapia Melendez Luis Ernesto
Published: December 2023

El concepto de buenas prácticas tiene múltiples definiciones, de acuerdo al contexto en el que se utilice. Para tener una definición más exacta, y en aras de contribuir a futuras iniciativas de identificación de buenas prácticas, se analizan experiencias de cuatro países que reconocen o premian las buenas prácticas de gestión pública en búsqueda de atributos mínimos. Como resultado del análisis realizado se han identificado cinco criterios en común, los cuales se proponen como criterios mínimos que deberían ser considerados en futuras iniciativas de reconocimiento de buenas prácticas en gestión pública. La importancia de esta contribución se justifica no solo por el aporte al mérito de los gestores públicos y sus proyectos de mejora sino también porque, al ser más precisos en la identificación de buenas prácticas de gestión pública, asegura contar con buenas prácticas de calidad para su posterior réplica en otras entidades.
“Empujoncitos” para intervenciones en la Política de Recursos Humanos
Authors: Tejada Olivera Roque Walter
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo muestra algunas herramientas metodológicas exitosas que pueden ser utilizadas en la innovación del diseño e implementación de decisiones de políticas de recursos humanos. La economía del comportamiento se nutre de investigaciones psicológicas para explicar desviaciones sistemáticas del comportamiento racional y que, mediante la aplicación de “empujoncitos” o nugdes, se pueda influenciar la conducta de una manera predecible.

Es importante comprender los factores psicológicos que existen detrás de las decisiones de los servidores civiles, así como, realizar una investigación que permita aplicar estrategias específicas sobre la base de evidencia. Los estudios realizados por Daniel Kahneman, Amos Tversk, Herbert Simon, Richard Thaler, Cass Sunstein, The Behavioural Insights Team del Reino Unido, el Laboratorio de Gobierno de Chile y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), así lo demuestran.

En ese sentido, se describen algunos sesgos cognitivos con ejemplos propios, referidos a las decisiones en la gestión pública. Se plantea aplicar la ciencia del comportamiento a través de la metodología Hazlo EAST, desarrollado por The Behavioural Insights Team. Ademas, se recomienda utilizar el esquema de prototipar, testear y pilotear para el diseño e implementación de las intervenciones. Finalmente, se propone la creación de un Laboratorio de Investigación e Innovación Gubernamental que lidere un proceso de cambio.

Word Formation in Brahui Language of Rudbar-Jonub/Rudbari
Authors: Sheybanifard Anoushe
Published: December 2023

The present article aims to discuss one of the important grammar topics named “word formation” in the Brahui language of Rudbar-Jonub. Brahui, as a non-Iranian language, has gone through a long distance and settled in Iran, chiefly in Sistan and Balochistan, and Kerman. Based on the oral literature and the words of local informants, a group of Brahui people entered Sistan and Balochistan province in Iran from the borders of Pakistan in the last 400 years and mostly settled in Zahedan, Zabol, Iranshahr, and Khash. About 200 years ago, a group of them entered the south of Kerman province from the common borders of Sistan and Balochistan with Kerman and settled in Rudbar-Jonub county; many of them speak four languages: Balochi, Brahui, Rudbari, and standard Persian (Sheybanifard, 2018). The Brahui language of Rudbar-Jonub, which has less than 1000 speakers, is more vulnerable and in danger of death than other Brahui languages in other parts of the world. Also, the contact of Brahui with other languages such as Persian and Baluchi as well as local dialects such as Rudbari and the increasing use of standard Persian by its speakers, especially in the young generation, has increased the distance of Brahui spoken in Iran from its original region. One of the other most important grammar features in this language which has also affected the word formation is the existence of four diphthongs two of them /ie/ and /ue/ belong to the Rudbari dialect. The data were gathered by direct observation, through interviews with male and female speakers; from different age groups and educational levels, recording of their speeches, and videos. The purpose of this article is to describe “the Word Formation structure” in this language. Words in Brahui of Rudbari, are divided into three groups in terms of derivational construction: 1- simple, 2- derivative (prefix and suffix derivative), and 3- compound (copulative compound and non-copulative compound).

Dalam keadaan lelah lalu terjebak pada kemacetan yang bisa menjadi salah satu penyebab stres, seseorang bisa saja menimbulkan sikap agresif pada tatkala stres. Sebuah studi mendapatkan fakta bahwa pengemudi yang berperilaku agresif pada saat berkendara menunjukan bahwa tingkat stres berkendara yang lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan pengemudi yang tidak berperilaku agresif berkendara pada studi Shamoa-nir dan Koslowsky (2010). Agolla and Ongori (2009) menyatakan bahwa stres pada perempuan lebih tinggi ketimbang laki-laki, hal ini disebabkan laki-laki menggunakan defense mechanism berbasis ego agar mereka lebih santai tatkala menghadapi stres. Namun, pada penelitian Pardamean dan Lazuardi (2019) menyatakan tingkatan stres pada laki-laki lebih tinggi (57,2%) ketimbang perempuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif, partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah perempuan dan laki-laki berumur 20-40 tahun. Hasil dari penelitian mengungkapkan tingkat agresif mengemudi pada dewasa awal yang berusia 20-40 tahun berada di taraf sedang. Selain itu, korelasi antara usia dengan tingkat agresif berkorelasi positif yang berarti semakin tua usia individu maka semakin tinggi pula tingkat agresif mengemudi individu.
(Im)Politeness in Dialogues between some Prophets and the Polytheists in the Noble Qur'an:
Authors: Sorour Islam , Zaghloul Maha , Youssef Amany
Published: December 2023

This study presents a pragmatic analysis of linguistic Politeness and Impoliteness in dialogues between six prophets (Nuh, Hud, Salih, Ibrahim, Shuaib and Musa) and their contemporaneous polytheists in the Noble Qur'an. The data comprises 35 dialogues from 20 surahs which revolve around how the prophets talked to the polytheists to persuade them to believe in the Oneness of Allah and in the Last Day and how the polytheists reacted to the prophets’ call for faith. The analytical framework comprises Leech's (1983) Maxims of Politeness, Brown and Levinson's (1978, 1987) Theory of Politeness, and Culpeper's (1996; 2005 and 2011) Model of Impoliteness. Within a mixed approach, the qualitative analysis has revealed how the prophets have been modest, sympathetic and close to their communities while guiding them to true Monotheism. In addition, the study shows how the polytheists have reacted impolitely to the prophets’ call for faith. The quantitative analysis has revealed that the six maxims of politeness have been present in the prophets’ utterances, with the Tact, Modesty and Sympathy Maxims as the most prominent. Moreover, the four strategies of politeness (Bald on record, Positive Politeness, Negative Politeness and Off-record) have been evident in the utterances of the prophets. On the other hand, all five strategies of impoliteness (Bald on record, Positive Impoliteness, Negative Impoliteness, Sarcasm or Mock Politeness and Off-record) have been employed in the polytheists’ utterances. Most significantly, the study proposes Mercy, as a potential addition to the maxims of performing Politeness. Mercy, in the form of non-reciprocal forgiveness and pity, was prevalent in the prophets’ communication with their contemporaneous people. The prophets were the finest of creation as Allah (God) chose them over humanity in order to convey the message of true Monotheism.
Allusion: A Functional Evaluation of Peter Theroux’s Translation Dongola: A Novel of Nubia with Reference to Idris Ali’s Original Novel Dunqulah: Riwayah Nubiyah
Authors: Ibrahim Hanaa , Youssef Amany , Surour Nahla
Published: December 2023

This study addresses the translation of allusion in Arabic into English from a qualitative functional perspective. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the functional adequacy of Peter Theroux’s English translation of the allusions employed by Idris Ali in his Arabic novel Dunqulah: Riwayah Nubiyah (1993), via implementing Nord’s functional model of translation-oriented text analysis (1991). The study entails two initial hypotheses. First, Theroux, as a non-native speaker of Arabic, would encounter linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic translation difficulties. Second, the anticipated translation difficulties are expected to affect the functional adequacy of Theroux’s translation of allusion into English. The findings indicate that: Peter Theroux, as an American translator whose mother tongue is English, encountered linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic translation difficulties, which affected, to varying degrees, the functional adequacy of his English translation of allusion. Additionally, Theroux’s rendering of the allusions using the literal sub-strategy into English has negatively affected their functional adequacy due to the linguistic and cultural gaps between the two languages. The study concludes that adopting the literal sub-strategy has led to a functionally inadequate English translation of the Arabic allusions. Furthermore, Nord’s model (1991) would be a useful top-down problem-solving tool for translation between linguistically and culturally distant languages as it would aid the translator in identifying the anticipated linguistic, cultural, and pragmatic divergences between the languages. The produced translation would be based on a problem-solution process conducted by the translator rather than a discursive method of translation.
An adaptive reference point technique to improve the quality of decomposition based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm
Authors: Tran Binh Minh  , Nguyen Long  , Thai Trung Kien
Published: December 2023

Applying multi-objective evolutionary optimization algorithms in solving multi-objective optimization problems is a research field that has received attention recently. In the literature of this research field, many studies have been carried out to propose multi-objective evolutionary algorithms or improve published algorithms. However, balancing the exploitation and exploration capabilities of the algorithm during the evolution process is still challenging. This article proposes an approach to solve that equilibrium problem based on analyzing population distribution during the evolutionary process to identify empty regions in which no solutions are selected. After that, information about empty regions with the most significant area will be combined with the current reference point to create a new reference point to prioritize choosing solutions in those regions. Experiments on 10 test problems of 2 typical benchmark sets showed that this mechanism increases the diversity of the population, thereby contributing to a balance between the algorithm's abilities in the evolutionary process and enhancing the algorithm.
A deep learning approach combining autoencoder with supervised classifiers for IoT anomaly detection
Authors: Nguyen Huu Noi  , Doan Van Hoa  , Tran Nguyen Ngoc
Published: December 2023

Anomaly detection for IoT networks is a challenging issue due to the huge number of devices that connect to each other and generate huge amounts of data. In this study, we propose a model combining Autoencoder with classification algorithms to build an end-to-end architecture for processing, feature extraction and data classification. Autoencoder is used to extract valuable hidden features of the original data, while supervised learning algorithms such as Softmax, Random Forest, Decision Trees, XGBoost, etc. are used for training and testing on AE’s encoder output data. We then test our recommended models on nine recent devices in the NBaIoT dataset and evaluate their performance. According to the experimental results, the proposed model greatly improves the performance of IoT anomaly detection methods.

Published: December 2023

Study on a framework for a customs administration to transitioning to circular economy (CE) is limited. This study aims to propose framework for customs’ transition to circular economy (CE) by modifying high-level framework for green customs with element of policy interventions. The policy intervention is intended to overcome the identified circular economy capabilities gap. By using this modified framework, this study identifies possible policy intervention needed by customs administration to accelerate its transition to CE. The design science research (DSR) approach was followed to develop the framework. Interview were conducted to provide evaluation on the framework; to provide description on current state of circularity in customs business processes; and to provide information needed to identify capabilities gap. This paper suggests several policy interventions, namely: raising the awareness on CE internally and externally; developing roadmap for customs’ transition to CE; enhancing data exchange via national single window; revisiting regulation on bonded recycling zone to attract business. The limitation of policy intervention suggested is regarding its practical implications. Further consultation and discussion with expert on customs and CE is needed to evaluate the feasibility and practicality of the policy interventions proposed.

Published: December 2023

This research aims to analyse the conditions and obstacles faced by both groups in the context of human rights violations, as well as provide practical suggestions to improve their protection. The research method used is normative legal methodology, which involves the examination and analysis of legal standards in the literature. A conceptual approach was taken through an exploration of ideologies and teachings that generate legal terminology. Primary and secondary legal materials were collected through inventory, classification, and systematics, with a deduction method for analysis. The results emphasise the need for a comprehensive strategy that considers legal, social, cultural and psychological aspects. The research also suggests the need for cooperation between the government, civil society and relevant institutions to create an environment conducive to the protection of women's and children's rights. The implication of this research is the need for a comprehensive approach in legal policy formulation, which not only focuses on legal aspects but also considers social, cultural, and psychological factors. The research emphasises the importance of increasing public awareness and understanding of human rights, as well as the need to strengthen legal and policy institutions. There is a need to improve the competence of law enforcement and the judiciary, as well as to involve various stakeholders in formulating policies that are more in line with gender issues and the needs of children.
Pengaruh Industri Dan Pendapatan Perkapita Terhadap Penerimaan Pajak Dengan Kualitas Peraturan Sebagai Pemoderasi
Authors: Bagaskara Pius Aji Cakra , Wijaya Suparna
Published: December 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of the industrial sector's contribution to GDP and per capita income on tax revenues moderated by regulatory quality. The data used is data taken from the World Bank Open Data in the period 2002 to 2019, while the objects studied were 37 countries with the lower-middle income economy category. The method used is a quantitative method with multiple linear regression of panel data with a random effect model. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously, all variables have a positive and significant effect on tax revenues. Partially, the industry's contribution to GDP on tax revenues has a significant negative effect, then after being moderated by the quality of regulations it has no effect. Income per capita has a significant positive effect, but after being moderated by the quality of regulations it actually reduces the level of influence. Furthermore, the quality of the regulations themselves has no effect on tax revenues. This can be overcome by improving regulations to provide ease of doing business and ease of obtaining services from the government.

Peraturan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia Nomor 23 Tahun 2018 tentang Pajak Penghasilan atas Penghasilan dari Usaha yang Diterima atau Diperoleh Wajib Pajak yang Memiliki Peredaran Bruto Tertentu mengamanatkan kepada Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) untuk menyusun laporan keuangan sesuai standar yang berlaku dalam waktu paling lambat 7 tahun.  Hal ini menjadi permasalahan bagi sebagian besar UMKM di Provinsi Banten yang belum membuat pembukuan yang memadai.  Ketiadaan laporan keuangan yang memadai juga menjadi kendala bagi UMKM untuk mendapatkan pinjaman dari lembaga-lembaga pembiayaan.  Tim Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat PKN STAN melalui kolaborasi tiga dosen dan mahasiswa melakukan pendampingan penyusunan laporan keuangan sebagai tindak lanjut kegiatan pelatihan akuntansi UMKM yang dilaksanakan oleh Dinas Koperasi dan UKM Banten bekerja sama dengan PKN STAN. Pendampingan Tahap I dilakukan secara daring selama satu bulan namun dinilai kurang efektif.  Pendampingan Tahap II dilakukan secara luring selama satu hari.  Pendampingan luring sangat efektif, semua peserta dapat menginput data transaksi masing-masing dan menghasilkan laporan keuangan secara otomatis dengan aplikasi Lamikro.

Published: December 2023

Hikâye anlatım tekniklerinin değiştiği ve dönüştüğü dijital çağda, farklı platformlar aracılığıyla izleyicilerin davranış biçimleri anlatılarda kendilerine doğrudan yer bulmaya başlamıştır. Video oyunları ve sinematik evren doğrultusunda biçimlenen interaktif yapımlar, izleyicilerin anlatının parçası haline gelerek anlatıları deneyimlemelerine alternatif yollar sunmaktadır. Bu alternatif yolları kullanıcılarına sunan platformlardan biri olan Netflix-Türkiye, interaktivite amaçlanarak tasarlanmış arayüzler aracılığıyla izleme eylemini deneyime dönüştürmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında Netflix-Türkiye platformu üzerinde hâlihazırda izleyicilere sunulmakta olan üretim ve dağıtım yılları Temmuz 2017-Nisan 2023 tarihlerini kapsayan yapımlar incelenmiştir. Sunulan 22 interaktif içerik ele alınmış olup, içeriklerin özellikleri üzerine bir araştırma yapılmış, ardından ise grafik dillerini anlamak adına benzerlikler ve farklılıklar üzerine betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak içeriklerin tümü incelenmiştir. Beraberinde içeriğin doğasına eşlik eden grafik ögelerin aydınlatılmasının amaçlandığı bu çalışmada, grafik ögelerin interaktiviteye ve anlatıya katkıları sorgulanmış olup, yapımlardan biri derinlemesine ele alınmıştır. İnteraktif filmlerde film grafikleri, izleyicilere, kendileri için oluşturulan çeşitli patikalar arasında gezinirken eşlik etmektedir. Bu ilişki kapsamında incelenen farklı türlerdeki içeriklerde, tasarımın izleyicinin eylemlerini destekleyen bir ortam ve güçlü-zayıf interaktivite deneyiminin oluşturulmasında etkin rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
TÜRKİYE’DE MEDİKAL İLLÜSTRASYON ALANINDA YAZILAN LİSANSÜSTÜ TEZLERE YÖNELİK BİR İÇERİK ANALİZİ
Authors: SONGÜR DAĞ Elif
Published: December 2023

Medikal illüstrasyon, sanat ve bilimin kesişiminde yer alan, çalışma alanı kısıtlı ancak kendi içerisinde oldukça derin ve zengin katmanları olan disiplinlerarası bir çalışma alanıdır. Dünyada köklü bir eğitimi olan ve meslek olarak da tanımlanmış bir alandır. Her ne kadar dünya çapında önemli Türk medikal illüstratörler olsa da alanda verilen akademik eğitim ülkemizde son derece sınırlıdır. Bununla birlikte medikal illüstrasyona olan ilgi ve merakın, son dönemlerde Türkiye’de artmakta olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu gözlem doğrultusunda, bu araştırmada, medikal illüstrasyon alanında yazılan lisansüstü tezlere yönelik bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni olan YÖK Tez Merkezinde konuyla ilintili anahtar sözcüklerle yapılan tarama sonucunda ulaşılan 17 tezin 16’sı yüksek lisans, biri doktora tezi örneklem olarak incelenmiştir. Disiplinlerarası bu alandaki tezlerle ilgili nicel veriler incelenmiş ve hangi bilim alanlarıyla ilişkilendirildikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Söz konusu tezlerle ilgili danışmanlar, jüri üyeleri ve araştırmacıların tamamı Türkiye’deki literatürde nispeten yeni sayılabilecek ve gelişmekte olan bu alana katkı sunmaktadır. Araştırmacıların, tezleri tamamlandıktan sonra ne oranda aynı alanda çalışmaya devam ettikleri incelenerek alana katkıları değerlendirilmiştir. Verilere dayalı yapılan analizler sonucunda, tıp ve sanat alanları arasında tam olarak disiplinlerarası bir çalışma sisteminin kurulamadığı, söz konusu tezlerin büyük çoğunluğunun güzel sanatlar alanları altında yer bulduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yine de tıp ve sanat alanlarından eşdanışmanlıkla yönetilen tezlerin de az da olsa varlığı saptanmıştır. Bu alanda yapılan doktora çalışmaları arttıkça, alandaki akademisyenlerin de yetkinliği ve donanımının artacağı araştırma makalesinin öngörüleri arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi gibi bünyesinde hem güzel sanatlar hem de tıp alanlarını barındıran üniversitelerde, kurulan yüksek lisans ya da doktora programları medikal illüstrasyon alanının Türkiye’de gelişmesine olanak tanıyacaktır.
Edward Hopper’ın Resimlerinde Yok-Yerler
Authors: GÜR Nazif
Published: December 2023

Bu araştırmada geçiş, iletişim ve tüketim için geçici bir alan olan yok-yer kavramı Edward Hopper’ın resimlerinde mekân-insan ilişkisi bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada Hopper resimleri, sosyal aktivite mekânları, oteller ve yolculuk başlığı altında betimsel analizi yapılarak yok-yer kavramı üzerine ilişkisi kurulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda sanatçının resimlerinde otel lobisi, kafeler, sinema salonu, benzin istasyonu, tren kompartımanı gibi yerlerin Auge’un bahsettiği yok-yerleri imlediği görülmektedir. Ayrıca sanatçının eserlerinde mekân olarak kişisel etkileşimin minimuma indirildiği, sadece tüketime davet eden böylesi yok-yerleri seçmesiyle bu mekânların kullanıcılarının da soğuk, mesafeli, monoton ilişkiler sürdürmesinin paralelliği de dikkate değerdir. Hopper, resimlerinde bu hissizleşme ve duyarsızlaşmayı perçinleyen yok-yerleri kullanılmasıyla izleyicide de aynı duyguyu tetiklemektedir. Bu anlamda makale Hopper’ın çalışmalarını anlamlandırmada Auge’un yok-yer kavramını dikkate alarak yeni bir bakış açısı sunmayı önermektedir.
Sinema Filmlerinde Ruh Halleri: Tabutta Rövaşata Filminin Fenomenolojik İncelemesi
Authors: ULUTAS Selcuk , KOCA Serhat
Published: December 2023

Ruh halleri, özneleri gündelik hayatta fazlasıyla etkilemektedir. Duygulara göre daha uzun süreli ve nesne eğilimli olmayan ruh halleri sinema filmleri için de oldukça önemli bir duygulanımsal sürecin parçasıdır. Son yıllarda ruh halleri ve sinema ilişkisine odaklanan pek çok araştırmacı için sinema filmlerinin estetik etkisi diğer ifade ile bedene yönelik söylemleri için ruh halleri oldukça önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. En genel ifadeyle, filmin duygulanımsal etkisinin yükseltilmesi, sahnelerde ortaya çıkarılması ve tasarlanan duyguların daha güçlü bir şekilde aktarılması adına ruh halleri kilit bir rol oynamaktadır. Diğer taraftan filmlerde çeşitli farklı estetik stratejilerle üretilen duyguların da ruh hallerinin devam etmesi ve güçlenmesi bağlamında önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Böylelikle ruh halleri ve duygular arasında bir sinema filmi içinde potansiyel olarak sınırsız düzeyde estetik strateji üretmek mümkün hale gelmektedir. Sinema filmlerinde ortak bir ruh halinin üretilmesi ise sinematik atmosferin tasarlanması ile ilgilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ruh halleri ve duyguların bir aradalığının estetik bir söylem olarak sinema yönetmenlerince nasıl kullanıldığına dair bir bakış açısı üretmek ve örneklendirmektir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada Smith’in “ruh hali ipucu yaklaşımı” temel alınarak fenomenolojik film inceleme yöntemi ile Derviş Zaim’in Tabutta Rövaşata filmi incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonrasında yönetmenin kendi üslubu ile ruh halleri ve duyguları birlikte nasıl ürettiği ortaya koyulmuştur.

Son yıllarda, dünyanın hemen her yerinde iklim krizi sebebiyle sıklıkla doğa felaketleri yaşanmaktadır. Bilim insanları tarafından Antroposen olarak adlandırılmaya başlanan bu yeni çağın sebebi olarak dünya kaynaklarını sınırsızca tüketen insan faaliyetleri gösterilmektedir. Bu yeni çağı anlamak ve geleceği hayal etmek adına ortaya çıkan düşünce biçimlerinden biri posthüman teoridir. Yeryüzüne izini bırakan insanın öznelliğini, failliğini ve insan-olmayanlar ile ilişkilerini sorgulayan bu teori, hümanizm ve insanmerkezciliği eleştirir, krizlerle baş edebilecek yeni bir etik fikrini ele alır. Bu makalede, Antroposen kavramına odaklanan, anlamını ve yöntemini posthümanizm ile ilişkili kuran sergi ve sanat eserleri araştırılmıştır. Güncel sanat alanını dönüştürmeye başlayan bu tartışmalar, sanatın da felaketler karşısında bir arayış içerisinde olduğunu göstermektedir.
Ekolojik Sürdürülebilirliğin Sanatsal Çalışmalara Yansıması: Newton ve Helen Mayer Harrison Örneği
Authors: DAĞLI Bayram , AKSOY Şeniz
Published: December 2023

1970’lerden başlayarak uluslararası kurumların ekolojik sürdürülebilirliğe yapmış oldukları vurgu sanatçıların ilgisini çekmeye başlamıştır. Bu tarihten itibaren bazı sanatçılar, ekolojik sürdürülebilirlik konusuna eğilmiş; meseleyi çeşitli yollarla sanatsal çalışma ve projelerine dahil etmeye başlamışlardır. 1970’lerin başlarından itibaren sanatsal üretimlere başlayan ve ekolojik sanatın önemli isimleri arasına giren Newton Harrison ve Helen Mayer Harrison’ın çalışmalarının merkezinde de ekolojik sürdürülebilirliğin yer aldığı görülmektedir. Sanatçılar, ekolojik bozulmaya yönelik mevcut senaryolar ve geleceğe yönelik tahayyüllerin yer aldığı melez çalışmalar ortaya koymuşlardır. Araştırmada, Harrisonların çeşitli tarihlerde gerçekleştirmiş oldukları çalışmalar ele alınarak incelenecektir. Sanatçıların çalışmalarında ekolojik sürdürülebilirliğin bazen bir fikir olarak nasıl yer aldığı bazen de çalışmanın kendisinin sürdürülebilir süreçleri yansıtan deneyimsel ve ilişkisel bir alana nasıl dönüştüğü ortaya konulacaktır.
