Authors:   Sanata Dharma University, Kalotong Angelin Tandi
Published: December 2020

COVID-19 has been impacted worldwide attention since it is a serious disease. Millions of people are infected and the aspects of the government have been descent. COVID-19 has become a daily topic for Indonesia’s newspapers. Media has an important role in giving information and awareness about this issue. Critical Discourse Analysis performs in portraying this issue by figuring out the representation of COVID-19 in the headlines. The headlines on The Jakarta Post were analyzed by employing Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistic. The data were taken by observing twenty newspaper headlines from The Jakarta Post newspaper on the national column on the first-week edition using purposive sampling. The writer uses purposive sampling because the writer wants to determine the sampling by specifying special characteristics. The newspaper uses a topical theme in all of the headlines, yet the participants of the Theme are different. The participants involved in the headlines were Actor, Verbiage, Sayer, Senser, and Goal as their Themes. In representing the COVID-19, The Jakarta Post newspaper headlines used the Theme to figure out the participant of the headlines. The participant Actor shows the action or the content of the headlines. Participant Verbiage shows the content of the headline. Participant Sayer directly says the content of the headline. Participant Senser shows that people are suffered due to this virus. Participant Goal shows that the action gives a positive impact on something related to the topic. The Jakarta Post newspaper uses these themes in order to examine the representations of COVID-19 in Indonesia that is a dangerous virus. The dangers of COVID-19 can be seen by the use of the participant Actor that is mostly done by the government.

Authors:   Sanata Dharma University, Adikayon Leonilla Yolanda Kintan
Published: December 2020

A newspaper has become the major news source around the world, either the printed or online newspaper. A newspaper provides many kinds of news and from different perspectives. Words in the newspaper play a significant role to deliver the information to the readers. The morpho-semantic study is needed to find out the uncommon words and their meaning in the newspaper. News in The Jakarta Post newspaper and Việt Nam News newspaper were analyzed, applying Hamawand’s (2001) compound categorization. Endocentric compound and exocentric compound by O’Grady et al (2016) are also being used in this study. The data were taken in a purposive sampling technique by observing eight news in the business column by The Jakarta Post and nine news in the economy column by Việt Nam News, taken from August 28, 2020, until September 4, 2020. Both newspapers contain distinctive compound words related to the economy that is still rarely known by people. From the total seventeen news, only a noun compound and adjective compound are found in the news, while the verb compound does not appear at all. The total of compound words found in the news is 25; there are 18 noun compounds and 7 adjective compounds found in the news. There are 16 endocentric compounds and 9 exocentric compounds found. The result shows that noun compounds and endocentric compounds appear more often than adjective compounds and exocentric compounds.

This research aims to analyze the existence of the Indonesian verbs “berkata”, “bersabda”, and “berfirman” (to say, to state). The method of document study was executed to provide the data, namely the translation of the Holy Quran (2004). Although it is unfair to compare the language of Indonesia and the language of Java from a speech level point of view, this paper is simply meant to trace how the words of the language of Indonesia show its speech levels in its own way. The Indonesian verbs “berfirman”, “bersabda”, and “berkata” are used to describe the activity of ‘saying’ or ‘speaking’ of God (berfirman), the Prophet Muhammad (bersabda), and people in common (berkata). It is concluded here that there are speech levels in the language of Indonesia, but they are not to compare with the speech levels like in the language of Java, Bali, Madura, Sunda, and or Sasak of Lombok.

Ilmu dan teknologi pengolahan citra bermanfaat bagi kehidupan, salah satunya ialah membaca dan mengenali nomor pelat kendaraan dengan pengolahan citra sehingga sistem ini dapat mengawasi dan mengetahui kendaraan yang memasuki area parkir. Penelitian ini mencakup pengenalan nomor pelat dengan pengolahan citra untuk sistem otomatisasi palang pintu parkir pada area parker. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mengimplementasikan ilmu pengolahan citra pengenalan pelat nomor kendaraan dan mikrokontroler. Tujuannya adalah mempermudah proses masuk dan keluar pada saat parkir dengan tidak menggunakan sistem secara manual. Terdapat beberapa proses untuk mengenali nomor pelat (license plate recognition, LPR), yaitu proses tangkap gambar nomor pelat mobil (scanning), preprocessing, segmentation, dan pengenalan karakter (object character recognition, OCR). Selanjutnya dilakukan proses pemeriksaan apakah nomor pelat mobil diperbolehkan parkir di area parkir, melalui alur kondisi (ya atau tidak). Seluruh prosedur dengan menggunakan pengolahan citra diterapkan menggunakan metode image processing software. Selanjutnya, untuk mengontrol buka tutup palang pintu parkir digunakan mikrokontroler Arduino Uno, yang diperintah dari PC yang terhubung dengan komunikasi serial. Apabila pelat nomor mobil dapat terbaca oleh kamera dan sensor sebagai mobil yang menggunakan pelat nomor, maka PC mengirimkan karakter “1” ke mikrokontroler dan palang pintu parkir terbuka, jika tidak menggunakan pelat maka palang pintu parkir tidak terbuka, karena PC tidak mengirim karakter “1”. Berdasarkan percobaan dengan 20 sampel tingkat keberhasilan nomor pelat dapat dikenali yaitu 75%. Hasil dari OCR berupa teks yang dimasukkan ke dalam basis data. Dari hasil teks tersebut dilakukan pencocokan pada basis data kemudian diperintahkan ke mikrokontroler untuk membuka palang pintu parkir.

Geographical Diversification Effects on Banks’ Performance: Evidence from Islamic Banks of some Selected Countries
Authors: Zoghlami Faten
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates the impact of geographic diversification onthe performance of Islamic banks. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 54 Islamic banksimplemented in the GCC and Southeast Asia regions, during the 2004-2016 period,the core question is to analyze the effect of both diversification intra and beyond homecountries on Islamic banks credit risk, stability, and profitability. This research assertsthat geographical diversification within the home country seems to enhance Islamic bankstability, profitability but does not improve loan quality. More pronounced results arereported when banks expand intra and beyond the home country frontier. These findingsare consistent with the view that geographic expansion helps to strengthen stabilitythrough diversification of the specific region risk, but the related loan growth makes itmore difficult to assess and monitor credit risk. These findings have strategic implicationsfor bank managers, regulators, and supervisors about the consequences of Islamic bankgeographic expansion.

The use of semantic technologies in the activities of the university: applied aspects
Authors:   Alfred Nobel University, Bartashevskaya Yu.N.
Published: December 2020

The article considers the problem of using Big Data in a modern economics and public life. The volumes and complexity of information are growing rapidly, but modern technologies cannot ensure their effective use. There is a lag in technologies, methods, and practices for using Big Data. The imbalance can be changed by semantic technologies, characterized by a different approach to the processing and use of data. This approach is based on the use of knowledge. Proved that despite the rather long time of the existence of semantic technologies and semantic networks, there are many obstacles to their effective application. These are the problems of accessibility of semantic content, accessibility of ontologies, their evolution, scalability and multilingualism. And since far from all the data presented on the network is created in terms of semantic markup and is unlikely to be brought to it in the future, the problem of accessibility of semantic content is one of the main ones. The article shows the difference between the semantic network and the semantic Web, and also indicates the development technologies of the latter. As the subject of study, the module of the courses of the Alfred Nobel University was selected. The composition of a separate module or a separate course is examined in detail: data on the university, lecturer, data on the provision of the course and language of its teaching, acquired skills, abilities, results and the like. A graph of the module of courses has been built on the example of the Alfred Nobel University in terms of ontology, its individual, most significant classes – components are considered. The main classes, subclasses and their contents are considered, data types (date, text, URL) are indicated. The ontological scheme has been converted to the RDF format, such as is necessary for modelling data in the semantic network and further research. The prospects for further research on the application of the selected model for representing knowledge, using the query language, obtaining and interpreting data from other universities, etc. are determined. Keywords: semantic technologies, semantic networks, ontologies, CmapTools, course module graph.

The present paper deals with the general approach to the problem of analyzing natural language information, including the implementation of a number of information technologies related in one way or another to language modeling. In addition to the development of the aforementioned tech-nologies, it is necessary to develop a formal theory of computer processing of knowledge extracted from natural language texts. The specific features of constructing linguistic models and the criteria for understanding natural language texts are analyzed. This raises a number of problems. The first problem comes down to the problem of analyzing textual information presented in natural language (morphological, syntactic, semantic and logical analysis) in order to extract knowledge. The second problem is associated with designing a system for searching, processing and extracting knowledge, developing and constructing its architecture, as well as tools for the user. The third problem is the development of procedures for the integration of knowledge from several subject areas to ensure the effectiveness of conducting studies of an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary nature. It is also necessary to pay special attention to the use of already developed theoretical prin-ciples and practical solutions. A formal statement of the problem of the analysis of natural language texts is proposed, in which the main subtasks are identified, associated with the calculation of typ-ing relationships of vocabulary of a natural language on a lexico-semantic continuum and the inter-pretation of some text on a given subject model. In the context of the developed architecture of the linguistic-ontological information system, a formal model for processing natural-language texts is proposed, for which an unambiguous correspondence of the processes of processing natural-language information and means (architectural blocks) of their implementation is shown. Keywords: ELRE natural language text, linguistic model, language ontological information system, analysis and understanding of natural language texts.

Authors: Huynh Diem Thi Hong
Published: December 2020

We present definitions of types of variational convergence of finite-valued bifunctions defined on rectangular domains and establish characterizations of these convergences. In the introduction, we present the origins of the research on variational convergence and then we lead to the specific problem of this paper. The content of the paper consists of 3 parts: variational convergance of fucntion; variational convergance of bifunction; and characterizations of variational convergence of bifunction, this part is the main results of this paper. In section 2, we presented the definition of epi convergence and presented a basic property problem that will be used to extend and develop the next two sections. In section 3, we start to present a new definition, the definition of convergence epi / hypo, minsup and maxinf. To clearly understand of these new definitions we have provided comments (remarks) and some examples which reader can check these definitions. The above contents serve the main result of this paper will apply in part 4. Now, we will explain more detail for this part as follows. Firstly, variational convergence of bifunctions is characterized by the epi- and hypo-convergence of related unifunctions, which are slices sup- and inf-projections. The second characterization expresses the equivalence of variational convergence of bifunctions and the same convergence of the so-called proper bifunctions defined on the whole product spaces. In the third one, the geometric reformulation, we establish explicitly the interval of all the limits by computing formulae of the left- and right-end limit bifunctions, and this is necessary and sufficient conditions of the sequence bifunctions to attain epi / hypo, minsup and maxinf convergence.

Published: December 2020

Viet Nam is considered one of countries most affected by climate change and sea-level rise. It results in many negative effects, such as flooding, saline intrusion and beach erosion occurred in the coastal zones. Quang Ninh with more than 250 km coastline, located in the northeastern part of Vietnam, is one of the vulnerable coastal provinces under the heavily affected due to the sea level rise. In order to evaluate the changes of flooded areas and tidal beaches due to the sea level rise in Quang Ninh coastal zone a 2D numerical model is set up, using the 3-grids nesting technique. The numerical model is calibrated by using the harmonic constants of 8 tidal constituents at Hon Dau tide station and validated with the observed data. On the basis of the climate change scenarios (RCP4.5, RCP8.5) in the period from 2020 to 2100, the corresponding sea level values are used in the numerical modeling to calculate the changes of flooded areas and tidal beaches due to the sea level rise. The obtained results on changing of the flooded area and tidal beach in Quang Ninh coastal zone are not only statically by changing water sea levels but also due to changing of the tidal range in this area. The calculated results point out that districts under the most affected of the sea level rise are Quang Yen, Tien Yen, Hai Ha, Mong Cai.

Published: December 2020

Tourism is one of the most important sectors creating jobs for women. According to the Tourism Human Resource Development Program by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism in 2015, the proportion of women in tourism accounted for 56% of the general labor force. In rural areas, participation in tourism organizations helps to significantly improve incomes and spiritual life of women. Through the tourist benefits, there has been a positive change in the awareness of gender equality that women are not only able to enhance income for themselves and their family but also contribute to local socio-economic development. The research team has selected Con Son (Son Island) in Can Tho Municipality for the survey because women here participate in almost all rural tourist activities. With the help of ethnographic fieldwork, participative observation and in-depth interview, the objective of the study is to assess the status and role of women in organizing, managing and implementing tourist activities. The results show that through tourism, the position of rural women, in family as well as in community, is lifted up. In parallel, tourism offers women many opportunities to manifest their capacity and to affirm their values.

Published: December 2020

Aim:  This  Case  Report  describes  two  rare  cases  of  clinical  management of  maxillary  first  molars  with  six  root  canals  with  special  reference  to  radiographic  interpretation  and  diagnosis.

Background:  The  study  reports  2 clinical  cases  of  endodontic  treatment  of maxillary  first  molars    with    six    root  canals. 

 

Case Description: The  access  cavity  was  prepared  using  a  slow  speed  round  bur.  The  teeth  were    diagnosed    with  irreversible    pulpitis  and    then  anesthetized  for  an  endodontic  access  cavity    preparation.  Clinical  evaluation  of  the  internal  anatomy  revealed  3  principle  root  canal  systems:  mesiobuccal  (MB),  distobuccal  (DB),  and  palatal  in  each  tooth. The  working  length  was  determined  and  the radiographs  were  taken  for  all  the  roots  i.e  mesiobuccal,  distobuccal  and  palatal  separately  after  placing  instruments  in  each.  The  cleaning  and  shaping  was  performed  using  ProTaper  Universal  rotary  instruments.  Irrigation  between  each  instrument  was  done.  The  canals  were  dried  and  obturation  was  performed  using  cold lateral  compaction  of  gutta-percha  and  a  resin-based  sealer.  The  teeth  were  then  restored  with  a  posterior  composite  restoration.  The  patients  were  advised  a  full-coverage  crown.

 

Conclusion:  A  good  knowledge  of  tooth  morphology,  careful  interpretation  of  angled  radiographs,  proper  access  cavity  preparation  and  a  detailed  exploration  of  the  interior  of  the  tooth  is  needed  to  ensure  a  proper  endodontic  treatment.

Clinical Significance:  Prevalence of teeth with such  complex  internal  anatomy is a rare anomaly. However, a sound knowledge of the internal anatomy can aid in its adequate management.

Authors: Nagy Ivett
Published: December 2020

Korábbi kutatási területem eredményeit és a jelenlegi rendőri hivatásom gyakorlása során szerzett tapasztalatokat kívánom ötvözni a jelenlegi tanulmányaimmal. Dolgozatomban a kábítószeres bűncselekmények hazai és nemzetközi szintű felderítési, nyomozási lehetőségeivel, azok eredményességével, hatékonyságával vagy egyes esetekben megjelenő akadályaival foglalkoztam. A nemzetközi kitekintés szélesítette a lehetőségeket és a vizsgálandó területeket. Így a kérdőíves kutatást választottam, amelyet az Europolnál dolgozó kábítószeres bűncselekményekkel foglalkozó munkatársak töltöttek ki, majd a hazánkkal szomszédos országok nyomozó hatóságai és végül a hazánkban dolgozó kollégák, akik olyan kábítószeres bűncselekményekkel találkoznak, amelyek határokon átnyúlnak. Igyekeztem egy áttekintő, reprezentatív képet nyújtani, jelenleg leginkább az Európai Unióra fókuszálva, a kábítószeres bűncselekmények nyomozásáról, és egyben a kutatási eredményeimmel alátámasztani vagy éppen cáfolni hipotéziseimet. Igyekeztem arra törekedni, hogy a hibák feltárásával és a későbbi kutatásaimmal ezekre megoldási javaslatokat tegyek, és a szakma számára gyakorlati szempontból hasznos, célszerű, alternatív válaszokat nyújtsak.

Objectives The current research study aims at investigating the illness experience of people affected by Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), as a particularly challenging rare disease that is paradigmatic for the understanding of regulatory processes. Methods The study used Giorgi’s method to analyze the illness narratives of 11 adult Italian women affected by PH according to a qualitative phenomenological approach. An object relations perspective looking at chronic illness as an internal object was adopted for result interpretation. Results Four general themes were identified that characterize illness narratives of people with PH and illustrate the progressive stages of the disease. They respectively deal with the body/mind disruption at symptom onset, the protagonization of illness in the search for a diagnosis, the complicated grief at the time of diagnosis, and the anaclitic strategies to face the future. Conclusion Findings make a significant contribution to the exploration of the subjective experience of people with PH in managing illness-related challenges from symptom onset to after diagnosis.

Introduction: Training at altitude or in a hypoxic environment has gained attention among athletes, coaches, and scientists to enhance sea-level performance. However, the efficacy of “Living-Low, Training-High, Training-Low” (LLTHTL) strategy to escalate the mechanisms associated with enhancing performance in the human athletes is still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the LLTHTL on Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor-Gamma Coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1α) levels in elite endurance runners. Methods: The study has a crossover design in University laboratory. Eight elite male runners (Mean±SD age: 24.50±3.96 years; Mean±SD height: 179.75±4.62 cm; Mean±SD body mass: 67.37±3.42 kg; Mean±SD body mass index: 20.85±1.11 kg/m²) took part in the research. After 4 weeks of Living-Low (LL), the athletes performed 4 weeks Training-High (TH) and then, 3 weeks training-low (TL). Main Outcome Measures: Anthropometric parameters, time trial (1500 m), PGC-1α, and HIF-1α levels were measured in four different time points: pre-LL, post-LL, post-TH, and post-TL. Results: There were no significant differences between the 4 time points for body mass and body mass index (P>0.05). The time trial was improved significantly (p <0.001) at post-TH as well as post-TL compared with the pre-LL and post-LL. TH decreased HIF-1α level but did not affect PGC-1α. Besides, TL increased both HIF-1α and PGC-1α. Conclusion: Training at altitude reduces HIF-1α and training at sea-level increased PGC-1α and HIF-1α levels. Both types of training induced an improvement in the time trial. Athletes and coaches seek advice on the effective training strategy to enhance performance at different altitudes.
