Analysis of Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) for Ship Accident Risk Assessment: A Case Study of Work Accident MV Mandarin Ocean at Tanjung Priok Main Port
Authors: EP Marpaung Herbert , Suranta Natanael , Ferdinal Frengki Simarmata Dony
Published: October 2023

Tanjung Priok Port is one of the busiest loading and unloading ports in Indonesia which serves both export and import activities, causing a risk of accidents that can occur. In order to anticipate these problems, an effort is required to identify and reduce the risk of accidents. This study aims to analyze the MV ship accident case of MV. Mandarin Ocean at the Main Port of Tanjung Priok. Through the implementation of the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA), it is expected that an accurate and scientific analysis will be obtained regarding the hazards that will occur, costs in risk control, and recommendations for overcoming them in the loading and unloading process at Tanjung Priok Port. This study used the Fault Tree Analysis method to find the root causes of accidents to reduce/eliminate the risk of accidents. Based on the research results, it is known that the Implementation of Safety Management System PT. Prima Bandar Samudera is not optimal. Likewise with the Monitoring Supervision of the Implementation of Safety Management carried out by PT. Tanjung Priok Port is also not optimal. Therefore, based on the priority scale on the FSA results, immediate implementation is necessary as a corrective measure to reduce and even prevent various accident cases that occur at the Tanjung Priok Port. This is to achieve the main goal of ship safety management, which is to realize "Zero Accident".
Support to Sustainable Development Goal No.2 - Zero Hunger: A Study from Animal Feed Sub Sector Industries
Authors: Michelle Vanessa , Gunawan Juniati
Published: October 2023

The study aims to analyze the disclosure of zero hunger SDGs in each sub-sector of livestock feed that has been listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Indonesia is currently lacking to meet its food needs with only 21.6% supplies. The zero-hunger SDGs are aimed in eliminating the problem of hunger. One of the company's types of industries that can help achieve the goals of the zero-hunger SDGs is the livestock feed sub-sector, which produce high protein food levels, such as eggs, chickens, milk, and some foods from agriculture. This research is descriptive methods based on content analysis. The samples applied from four subsector livestock feed companies registered with the BEI in 2015–2022 (population), with the total sample 32 data analysis. The information was analyzed from sustainability reports, financial reports, and the company's website from 2015 to 2022. The research shows that almost all companies were at 33–48% (medium disclosure), which means that the feed subsector has not optimally supported SDGS zero hunger against 11 indicators on each report, especially on  the information of stunting reduction. There are three information among 11 disclosures which are disclosed mostly by the animal feed sub sector industries, namely (1) the implementation of production techniques and technology; (2) ensuring animals generate high-quality; (3) sustainably produced food. This information is related to  nutritional problems, like stunting. In contrast, there are two pieces of information which have been least disclosed, including the establishment of an area, and the size of a sustainable area.
VTD-Visual and Tactile Database for Driver State and Behavior Perception
Authors: Wang Jie , Zhu Zhongpan
Published: October 2023

Human-vehicle co-pilot has recently been the research focus in autonomous vehicles. However, there have been many subjective uncertainties in the driver's state and the behavior of human-vehicle interaction, which is a crucial factor constraining the safety of Human-in-the-loop co-driving. To promote the research in the domain, we propose a new visual?tactile perception method based on a driving simulation platform and have built a new large-scale dataset. The data of drivers' visual and tactile behaviors and states during driver fatigue and human-vehicle switched driving are included to satisfy different investigation needs. Concerning visual data, we extract features from the drivers' behaviors and states through a deep convolutional network in multiple angles, followed by adjusting the model with subjective feedback from Human-in-the-loop to improve the accuracy of the extracted feature through continuous iterations. Regarding haptic processing, we designed a steering wheel using flexible conductive electronic-skin material, which achieved time-series data extraction built upon the driver's heart rate and rate of change based on the haptic signal when the drivers are holding the steering wheel. Moreover, we calibrated the extracted data with the wearable heart rate sensor. Finally, we synchronized the time-series visual-tactile data with time stamps, forming a cross-modal database that provides data support for implementing cross-modal perception algorithms for driver behavior.

Major Viral Outbreaks in the 1st Decade of 21st Century- Literature Review
Authors: Sattoju Nithish , R Pranay Reddy , Surisetty Vinay
Published: October 2023

21st century has experienced several viral outbreaks, top of which is the severe acute respiratory syndrome- Corona Virus -2 (SARS- CoV-2/ COVID-19) that crossed all the borders and invaded human kind and health care settings with erupting mortality rate as never seen before and reshaping the global health care perspectives and responses. Besides COVID-19, there are several viral outbreaks seen in different countries which were confined to its region and were declared as the epidemic or endemic due to its widespread infection. The current review focuses 5 such viral outbreaks that were declared epidemic or endemic and resulted in disruption of health care system of that nation and highlights on its pathophysiology and our position in its treatment and vaccination status. The review included viral outbreaks of measles, avian flu, hendra, crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever, swan flu. Choice of these viral outbreaks was made after through search for all the potent outbreaks in the 1st decade of 21st century i.e., from 2000 to 2010, as per World Health Organisation (WHO) reports and factsheets. We abide with the fact that many other outbreaks were missed in this review. However, efforts were made to detail the selected outbreaks. Most of the viral outbreaks were seen with more than one outbreak and one nation which are detailed along with its familial hierarchy. Most comprehensive research was carried out to ensure no detail on its available treatment and vaccines were missed.

Authors: Aabid M. , Ebbadi N. , Zouaki Z. , Slioui B. , Mouhsine A.
Published: October 2023

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare malignancies, with fewer than 1000 reported cases. They are either discovered incidentally, or in association of non-specific symptoms such as hypoglycemia. The association of paraneoplastic hypoglycemia and solitary fibrous pleural tumors is rare. Hypoglycemia occurs in large tumors and normalizes after surgery, the treatment of choice for pleural solitary fibrous tumors (PSTF). The authors discuss the management of this rare tumor and the association of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) with hypoglycemia.
Treatment Patterns and Outcomes Among Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer Initiating First-Line Therapy in the United States
Authors: Coleman Robert L. , Garside Jamie , Hurteau Jean , Nguyen Joehl , Kobayashi Monica
Published: October 2023

Background: Patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC) typically have limited treatment options and poor long-term survival outcomes following first-line therapy. Real-world treatment patterns and survival outcomes data are limited for patients in this setting.

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to describe real-world demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and overall survival among patients in the United States with primary advanced or recurrent EC who initiated at least 1 line of therapy (LOT).

Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of primary advanced or recurrent EC in a real-world database from January 1, 2013, to July 31, 2021, were included. The date for inclusion was the date of EC diagnosis documentation; patients were indexed for treatment patterns and outcomes at the start of the first LOT and at the start of each subsequent LOT they initiated. Data were stratified by subgroups of patients who had mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors.

Results: A total of 1961 patients who received at least 1 LOT were included. Most patients in this cohort, and the dMMR/MSI-H subgroup, received a platinum combination as first-line treatment, with carboplatin-paclitaxel being the most common regimen. Only 53% of patients who received first-line treatment subsequently received second-line therapy. Of the patients who received at least 1 LOT, use of immunotherapy in the second-line setting was more common in the dMMR/MSI-H subgroup. Median overall survival ranged from 14.1 to 31.8 months across the 5 most frequently used first-line treatment regimens in the ≥1 LOT cohort and became shorter with each subsequent LOT.

Discussion: The use of platinum-based chemotherapy for first-line treatment of advanced or recurrent EC predominates in the real-world setting, despite the poor long-term survival outcomes associated with most of these regimens.

Conclusions: Patients with recurrent/advanced EC have a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for therapies with more durable benefits.

Al-Qur’an Portrays Women’s Bodies: Critical interpretation of verses on existence, freedom, and morality
Authors: Nurhalimah Hany
Published: October 2023

The oppression of women often stems from the body and the way a person or tradition interprets it. From ancient times to the present, the history of women's bodies has always been about the history of oppression; that is, about the fate of women's bodies in the face of patriarchal culture. When women's bodies often become symbols of various forms of oppression, then liberating women must start from their liberation efforts that are embodied in patriarchal biased interpretations, both formal and cultural interpretations. At this point, there is a need for an interpretation that departs from other possibilities in understanding verses related to women. The focus of the study presented in this paper is trying to criticize the interpretations related to the verses of existence, freedom and morality of women interpreted through Merleau Ponty's phenomenology of perception. This stems from the author's basic assumption, when the Qur'an is understood as rahmatan lil alamin, it is impossible for the Qur'an to produce discriminatory interpretations.

Rodzinne podobieństwa. Kino Władysława Pasikowskiego a kilka filmów z półwyspu Koulun
Authors: Adamczak Marcin
Published: October 2023

Artykuł przedstawia „rodzinne podobieństwa” między wczesnymi filmami Władysława Pasikowskiego a kilkoma popularnymi filmami Johna Woo i Ringo Lama zrealizowanymi w Hongkongu. Zaskakująca wspólnota motywów obejmuje: wizerunek męskiej przyjaźni wraz z homoerotycznymi akcentami, status kobiet, zmienność tożsamości oraz melancholię na tle schyłku dotychczasowego świata społecznego. Wyjaśnieniem tego podobieństwa, zachodzącego najprawdopodobniej mimo braku bezpośredniej inspiracji, zdaje się czerpanie z podobnych wzorców estetycznych (przede wszystkim amerykańskich) oraz pewne analogie produkcyjne prowadzące do powstania równocześnie filmów charakteryzujących się wspólnymi elementami w odległych od siebie geograficznie i kulturowo kinematografiach. Odrębnym wątkiem są związki tych tytułów z kulturą VHS dwóch ostatnich dekad XX w. Dlatego też artykuł jest zakończony krytycznym fragmentem ukazującym Pasikowskiego jako „reżysera kasetowego”.
Od robotnicy do gwiazdy flamenco. Metamorfozy Carmen w kinie hiszpańskim
Authors: Aleksandrowicz Joanna
Published: October 2023

Analiza pięciu hiszpańskich adaptacji Carmen Prospera Mériméego ukazuje, w jaki sposób filmy te – zrealizowane w różnych okresach – odzwierciedlają przemiany obyczajowe i polityczne, dominujące ideologie oraz zmieniające się mody i fantazmaty. Filmowa Carmen ma w Hiszpanii wiele twarzy. Uważana za ikonę españolady, jest też niepokorną Cyganką udającą Baskijkę, buntowniczką pragnącą wolności nade wszystko, kolejnym wcieleniem kobiety fatalnej, ale i nawróconą grzesznicą ‒ pobożną i zakochaną w żołnierzu, a nie we własnej niezależności. Interesujące są również ekranowe nawiązania do postaci Carmen, często ubrane w ironiczny cudzysłów i pojawiające się na marginesie zupełnie – wydawałoby się – innych historii.
Dyskretny urok „populuxe” – intertekstualne wędrówki scen z „Design for Dreaming”
Authors: Michnik Antoni
Published: October 2023

Autor bada intertekstualne wędrówki fragmentów filmu krótkometrażowego Design for Dreaming Williama H. Beaudine’a (1964), zrealizowanego dla General Motors. Opisuje amerykańskie krótkometrażowe filmy przemysłowe z lat 50. i 60., a następnie – wychodząc od teledysku Davida Malleta do utworu Hello Spaceboy Davida Bowiego – śledzi wędrówki scen z Design for Dreaming po różnych obszarach kultury wizualnej (reklamach, wideoklipach, serialach, filmach pełnometrażowych). Ramę dla tekstu stanowi kategoria estetyki „populuxe” zaproponowana przez Thomasa Hine’a oraz rozważania Svetlany Boym na temat nostalgii.
Nawiedzony ekran. Przyczynek do widmontologii współczesnego kina
Authors: Stelmach Miłosz
Published: October 2023

Artykuł stanowi próbę przedstawienia kina jako medium nawiedzonego. Podejmując refleksję nad ontologią kina (w nawiązaniu do takich teoretyków, jak André Bazin, Stanley Cavell czy Garett Stewart), autor stara się wykazać, że sposób funkcjonowania aparatu filmowego oraz fikcji ekranowej przypomina kontakt z duchami, usprawiedliwiający semantyczną dwuznaczność terminu „medium”, odsyłającą zarówno do kontekstu medioznawczego, jak i mediumicznego. Kino, ze względu na oscylowanie między trwałością i ulotnością oraz podwójną strukturę czasową, a także z uwagi na związki ze śmiercią może być nazywane sztuką widmową lub sztuką widm. Te naturalne predyspozycje medium sprawiają, że można je doskonale analizować, wykorzystując narzędzia sformułowanej przez Derridę widmontologii, która – zwłaszcza dzięki pracom jego późniejszych komentatorów – dowodzi potrzeby wprowadzenia kategorii widmowości do rozważań nad nowoczesnością oraz współczesną kulturą. Najnowsze kino (tak komercyjne, jak i artystyczne) doskonale wyraża oba te wątki refleksji, potwierdzając raz jeszcze wstępną tezę o spektralności medium kina.
Monadologiczna metafizyka Leibniza na ekranie. Wokół filmu „Przebudzenia”
Authors: Paź Bogusław
Published: October 2023

W swym artykule Paź analizuje film Przebudzenia (Awakenings, reż. Penny Marshall, 1990) pod kątem obecności w nim elementów monadologicznej metafizyki G. W. Leibniza. Okazuje się, że autor pierwowzoru scenariusza Oliver Sacks, brytyjski neurolog i psychiatra, w opisach badanych i leczonych przez siebie pacjentów, jakie zawarł w książce o tym samym tytule, co późniejszy film, wprost inspirował się kategoriami niemieckiego filozofa. Wśród pojęć Leibniza zaczerpniętych przez Sacksa należy wymienić: monadę, refleksję, świat możliwy etc. W filmie zaś obecne są głoszone przez niemieckiego filozofa prawa świadomości, takie jak np. zasada ciągłości od najmniej jasnych percepcji (letarg, sen) do percepcji w pełni wyraźnych i zreflektowanych oraz koncepcja realnej tożsamości podmiotu. W szczególności Leibnizjańska teza izolacjonistyczna („monady nie mają okien”) znalazła swoją konkretyzację w przypadku opis losu głównych bohaterów Przebudzeń. Walorem tego filmu jest to, że jest on jak dotychczas pierwszą i udaną próbą unaocznienia tez – uchodzącej za bardzo abstrakcyjną – metafizyki nowożytnego racjonalisty.
Metafizyka w „Labiryncie” Jana Lenicy
Authors: Hendrykowski Marek
Published: October 2023

W tekście poświęconym Labiryntowi (1962) Jana Lenicy autor – za pomocą serii mikronaliz skoncentrowanych na funkcji semantycznej poszczególnych elementów (akcja, fabuła, narracja, bohater, postaci, muzyka itp.) – odkrywa nowe pokłady interpretacyjne tej słynnej krótkometrażówki. Hendrykowski wskazuje na związki łączące arystotelesowską poetykę tego filmu z oryginalną wizją współczesnej cywilizacji. W konkluzji czytamy: Animator posiada zdolność oswobodzenia własnej wyobraźni od tego, co byłoby dla niej skrępowaniem, obciążeniem i uwięzieniem. W tym celu używa języka ruchomych obrazów wyposażonych w moc symboliczną, zdolnych przedstawiać rzeczy, jakimi są naprawdę. Jako artystę kina nie ogranicza go ani wykreowany świat, ani prawa fizyczne, które rządzą filmowaną (fotografowaną) ‘in crudo’ rzeczywistością, ani ciało aktora wykonawcy.
L’IMPACT DE LA TRANSFORMATION NUMÉRIQUE DANS LES ADMINISTRATIONS PUBLIQUES AFRICAINES
Authors: Babei Jean , NZOLOLO MOYO
Published: October 2023

La massification des technologies de l’information ne laisse personne indifférent. Des simples logiciels métiers aux progiciels de gestion intégrée, en passant par les réseaux sociaux numériques et l’intelligence artificielle; ces technologies sont devenues incontournables. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les perceptions des agents publics face au déploiement du numérique. Une étude a été conduite au Cameroun, auprès d’un échantillon d’agents publics. Une analyse en composantes principales a été réalisée. Elle a été suivie par des analyses unies variées. Les principaux résultats indiquent dans des proportions importantes que les technologies de l’information sont sources de transparence et de traçabilité; et qu’elles diminuent les comportements opportunistes. En revanche, ils sont responsables de troubles de santé et constituent une menace à la souveraineté des données.

Comparative Analysis of Security Features in Banknotes Across Various Global Economies using VSC®-8000/HS
Authors: - Dr. Deepika Bhandari , - Preet Kumar , - Navpreet Kaur , - Priya Sharma , - Himanshu Khandekar , - Jaswinder Singh Chouhan , - Dr. Vivek Sahajpal
Published: October 2023

Background: Banknote counterfeiting is a serious issue. Every government adds various security elements to its banknotes to avoid forgery. The security measures inducted in the banknotes reduce the likelihood of counterfeiting. These are the unique elements that are incorporated during the production process. Paper quality, intaglio printing, watermarks, security threads, latent images, etc. are some of these unique properties. Every nation has a unique set of security characteristics. In the year 2016 India demonetized and recalled all of its highest denomination bank notes (Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500) in order to cease counterfeiting. Thereafter, there has been incorporation of various security features in the current Mahatma Gandhi series to make the currency standout with other international currencies, in order to reduce the chances of forgery as per the sections 489A-489E of Indian Penal Code, 1872.
Methods: Banknote samples were analyzed using the non-destructive Video Spectral Comparator 8000 (VSC®-8000/HS) by foster+freeman®. Each sample was placed in the live-camera unit with high- resolution 12-megapixel camera forming the part of Super Resolution Imaging (SRI) system. Front and back pictures of the banknotes were taken in white light. The samples were then examined under various illumination settings (Spot Light, Oblique Light, Transmitted Light, UV-light, and Infrared light) for both sides. Security features like Microprinting, Micro texting, Guilloche Pattern, OVI, Watermarks, etc., were studied.
Results: In the current research paper, the security characteristics of the banknotes of ten different countries are compared utilizing VSC®-8000/HS. Analysis reveals Thai Baht with the most security features, followed by Vietnamese Dong, Czech Koruna, Indian Rupees, and others. Notably, Indian banknotes stand out due to UV features, security thread, latent image, and strategic micro text placement.
Conclusions: This research paper recognizes the importance of security features in various banknotes including the Indian banknotes and also provides some of the recommendations to enhance the quality and security features in the Indian banknotes.

Published: October 2023

The main hurdle in personal learning system deployment and success, which most of the institutions face is the challenge of outdated and lack of access to technology infrastructure. As a result, teachers, and more importantly learner’s experience via personal learning is impacted. This study sought to examine the relationship between Digital technologies and personalised learning at UICT in Uganda. The target population was 210 from where a sample of 136 including 91 and 45 for students and lecturers respectively was determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table and the study employed stratified random sampling to select students and lecturers as the unit of inquiry with the use of semi-structured questionnaires. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) computer programme version 25. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation was used to present data and correlation coefficient used to establish the relationship between the variables. Results revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between digital technologies and Personalised learning in HIEs in Uganda. Findings indicated that digital technologies had a significant influence on differentiated instruction at UICT (r =0.954, p=0.000) and Adjusted R2 of 87.88%. Also digital technologies contribute significantly to individualized instruction at UICT (r =0.9605, p=0.000) and Adjusted R2 of 89.53%. Results further indicated that digital technologies had a significant relationship on knowledge construction at UICT (r =0.956, p=0.000) and Adjusted R2 of 88.40%. These findings are evident that digital technologies have an impact on the personalised learning at higher education institutions in Uganda. In order to improve personalised learning, digital technologies should be enhanced. These study results are useful in decision making and improving current teaching practices to realise personalised learning in HEIs in Uganda.

Published: October 2023

This research paper highlight on the issues and challenges faced by women living condition who are living on the street or without home in Mumbai city. Homelessness is a major issue in India. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights defines 'homeless' as those who do not live in a regular residence due to lack of adequate housing, safety, and availability. The phenomenon of homelessness violates the most basic of human rights for all populations, women without housing and living on the streets suffer the most severe kinds of abuse and violence.
Interlinking Organ Scarcity to Human Rights
Authors: - DR. AASTHA AGNIHOTRI
Published: October 2023

Organ failure is a medical emergency that causes immense suffering and a life-threatening situation. Organ transplant is the only treatment for organ failures other than renal failure. Even in cases of kidney failure, transplant is the most cost effective treatment for organ failure to prolong the lives of sufferers. The advancement of medical science in the field of transplants has improved human longevity and on an average life could be prolonged by ten- eleven years. Organ procurement from a donor is the first stage in a transplant. As in the case of blood, the organ is required to be healthy and must match. However, there is an inadequacy of organs across the world and patients who could be given a new life, die during the wait. The connection with human rights has been least explicit in the context of organ scarcity.
Globally, two consent systems for organ donation can be found. The opt- in system also known as the explicit consent system requisites an express consent of either the person when alive for organ donation or their relatives after death. By contrast, opt-out systems presume everyone to be a donor and people are required to express their objection. It is generally seen that countries with presumed consent system have higher rates of organ donation in comparison to countries with opt- in system. India has opted- in system and despite having the highest population is donor rate is among the lowest in the world.
This essay has two distinct objectives: First, it seeks to interlink organ scarcity to human rights. For this purpose it draws upon International Human Rights Framework. Second, it looks into the Indian law and analyses the lessons India needs to learn to improve its organ donation rate. Technological developments in the field have opened up the possibility of transplanting an increasing number of human organs, including the non vital ones like uterus, to those in need. However, the focus of the present research is limited to vital organs and does not extend to tissues and non- vital organs. Though there are human rights issues involved with allocation of organs and organ trafficking, those fall beyond the scope of the Article.
Celebrity Culture and Transgenders; A Study of Autobiography by Laxmi Narayan Thripati
Authors: - Sowmya B V , - Dr. Avinash T
Published: October 2023

Binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture and language. Derrida rejects this binary opposition on grounds that such oppositions always privilege one term over the other.
Our society has binary opposition system of central and peripheral social groups. But there are other different social elements in between belonging to different social groups. In case of transgenders, they belong to the peripheral or the subaltern group having inferior social status. The dominant upper-class celebrity culture occupies the central place enjoying the higher status. In between these central and peripheral elements there exist many other elements consisting people from other social groups or status.
Laxmi Narayan Thripati is a trangender rights activist. She moves into celebrity circle. On one hand she is a subaltern, on the other hand she is a celebrity.

Obesity rates have increased, and so has the need for more specific treatments. This trend has raised interest in non-surgical weight loss techniques that are novel, safe, and straightforward. Thus, the present review describes the endoscopic bariatric treatment for obesity, its most recent supporting data, the questions it raises, and its future directions. Various endoscopic bariatric therapies for weight reduction, such as intragastric balloons (IGBs), aspiration therapy (AT), small bowel endoscopy, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, endoluminal procedures, malabsorption endoscopic procedures, and methods of regulating gastric emptying, were explored through literature sourced from different databases. IGBs, AT, and small bowel endoscopy have short-term effects with a possibility of weight regain. Minor adverse events have occurred; however, all procedures reduce weight. Vomiting and nausea are common side effects, although serious complications have also been observed.

Comparative Study Of Murabaha Financing At Kalbar Syariah Bank And Mandiri Syariah Bank Branch Sambas
Authors: Vera Ayu Oktovia Sari  , Sri Deti  , Ubabuddin
Published: October 2023

One of the most popular Fiqh schemes used by Islamic banking is the Murabaha Buy-Sell Scheme. This Murabahah transaction was commonly carried out by the Prophet Muhammad, and his companions. The activities of Islamic banks are to collect funds from customers, distribute funds and other banking services. Islamic banks in its operations started from the collection of public funds in the form of demand deposits, savings and deposits. The funds raised were distributed in the form of financing, namely Murabaha, Musharakah, qardh, ijarah and services financing. The funds were distributed to customers in the form of working capital financing, consumption financing, working capital financing and investment. The focus of this study are: 1) How is the practice of Murabaha financing in Kalbar Syariah Bank Sambas branch? 2) What is the practice of Murabaha financing at Syariah Mandiri Bank Sambas branch? 3) What is the comparison of Murabaha financing at Kalbar Syariah Bank and Syariah Mandiri Bank Sambas branch? The purpose of this study was to describe, identify, uncover and analyze the financing practices in Kalbar Syariah Bank and Syariah Mandiri Bank branch sambas. This research is a field research (Field research) or qualitative research, qualitative research is more emphasis on the process than the product or outcome. Qualitative research focuses more on research that is a process, such as interaction between humans in a community, the process of implementing work, the development of a symptom or civilization. The researcher concluded that in distributing Murabaha Financing Kalbar Syariah Bank and Syariah Mandiri Bank both provide the conditions set by Bank Indonesia, and in the Murabaha financing process there is a difference between the total amount of financing installments of the two banks. Syariah Mandiri Bank Murabaha financing cheaper than Kalbar Syariah Bank, but judging from the interest of customers who do the financing, between Syariah Mandiri Bank with Kalbar Syariah Bank is more interested in financing at Kalbar Syariah Bank. The reason why the interest in Kalbar Syariah Bank is more than in Syariah Mandiri Bank, because the financing process, especially on the terms and the decision process does not take a long time and quickly.
Studying specificity in protein-glycosaminoglycan recognition with umbrella sampling

Published: October 2023

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) research in the past few decades has been crucial for gaining insights into various physiological, pathological and therapeutic aspects mediated by the direct interactions between the GAG molecules and diverse proteins. The structural and functional heterogeneities of GAGs as well as their ability to bind specific proteins are determined by the sugar composition of the GAG, the size of the GAG chains, the degree and the pattern of sulfation. A deep understanding of the interactions in protein-GAG complexes is essential to explain their biological functions. In this study, the umbrella sampling approach is used to pull away a GAG ligand from the binding site and then pull it back in. We analyze the binding interactions between GAGs of three types (heparin, desulfated heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate) with three different proteins (basic fibroblast growth factor, acidic fibroblast growth factor and cathepsin K). The main focus of our study is to evaluate whether the umbrella sampling approach is able to reproduce experimentally obtained structures, and how useful it can be for getting a deeper understanding of GAG properties, especially protein recognition specificity and multipose binding. We find that the binding free eneergy landscape in the proximity of the GAG native binding pose is complex and implies the co-existance of several binding poses. The sliding of a GAG chain along a protein surface could be a potential mechanism of GAG particular sequence recognition by proteins.

Published: October 2023

Extreme value theory (EVT) is the branch of statistics concerned with inference about the tails of the distribution function. Accurate estimation of the year return levels of climate extremes is a critical step in the projection of future climate and in engineering design for disaster response. The study of non-stationary behavior in the extremes is important to analyze data in environmental sciences, climate, finance, or sports. The largest order statistics is an extension of the block maxima approach that is used in extreme value modeling. However, in Korea, the scientific literature usually has used the method based on fitting a distribution to an annual maximum. We focus on daily rainfall amounts data sets collected from the Korea Meteorological Administration for Seoul, Busan and Daegu, from 1961 to 2020. First, we fit the GEV df to block maxima data, i.e., annual maximum rainfall. Second, we use the top 10 annual precipitation events. We model, in which both mean and scale parameters of extreme value distribution are modeled as linear or smooth functions of covariate, YEAR, using the vector generalized linear models (VGLMs) and vector generalized additive models (VGAMs).

With the recent development of the fourth industry, there is a lot of interest in research related to artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data, and various convergence studies are being conducted on one technology. Among them, autonomous driving research is increasing exponentially, and countries around the world are investing not only in research support but also in autonomous driving by changing legal regulations. This study examines annual research topic trends in LDA and TF-IDF from papers related to autonomous driving and vehicles in the Scopus journal and extracted promising topics in 2023 using Week Signal process. In LDA, it is not limited to 'vehicle' in autonomous vehicle analysis, but has been studied in various ways such as aviation and underwater, and various research algorithms have been extracted without focusing on 'vehicle' in autonomous driving analysis. In TF-IDF, we can find out the new topics that appeared in the latest year, through the Week Signal. It is possible to guess that research such as artificial intelligence research and environmental factors would be promising, as well as research on stability and accuracy regarding safety.
