Authors: Babaoğlu T. Ş. , Baltacı İ. T. , Pehlivan H.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Smartphones capable of receiving Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signals and location-based mobile applications have been finding new usage areas day by day. The most popular mobile applications have become a part of our life in many ways, especially in spatial data collection, logistics, sports activities, routing, navigation, information exchange, shopping, emergencies and entertainment. The location-based feature has been the characteristic of the apps realized in real-time or near real-time. Within the scope of this study, a mobile application that can be used on smartphones with the Android operating system and is designed to save time and location information during the desired time and sampling interval and send it to the desired e-mail address is presented. The development stages of this location-based mobile application developed using open-source codes and its use on smartphones were shown. The usage areas of the application and a realized test study were explained.
Brief communication: The role of geophysical imaging in local landslide early warning systems
Authors: Whiteley Jim S. , Watlet Arnaud , Kendall J. Michael , Chambers Jonathan E.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. We summarise the contribution of geophysical imaging to
local landslide early warning systems (LoLEWS), highlighting how the design and monitoring components of LoLEWS benefit from the enhanced spatial and
temporal resolutions of time-lapse geophysical imaging. In addition, we
discuss how with appropriate laboratory-based petrophysical transforms, geophysical data can be crucial for future slope failure forecasting
and modelling, linking other methods of remote sensing and intrusive
monitoring across different scales. We conclude that in light of ever-increasing spatiotemporal resolutions of data acquisition, geophysical
monitoring should be a more widely considered technology in the toolbox of
methods available to stakeholders operating LoLEWS.
Writing otherwise: A critical cosmopolitan approach to reflecting on writing and reading practices in fiction and non-fiction
Authors: Surma Anne
Published: December 2021

In reaction to the opening up or redrawing of the world’s borders – virtual and real, material and ideological –the language of conventional western political communication seems to become increasingly dogmatic and even strident. In this paper, I argue that critical cosmopolitanism provides a framework within which students, teachers, researchers and practitioners can explore contemporary issues represented in the writing of literary fiction as a means of critiquing the limited and limiting vision of such political writing. I outline a critica lcosmopolitan orientation to approaching, practising and reviewing writing practices in the global public domain, primarily an ethical and relational endeavour, alert to writers’ obligations to (often distant and unknown) others, as well as to the complexity and ambivalence of those relationships. The paper then explores how Lloyd Jones novel,

Hand me down world, serves to trouble the text of the Australian Government’s ‘No topeople smuggling’ campaign. As a means of disrupting its (non-fiction) other, fiction writing can offer us ethical, political and aesthetic insights into imagining alternative relations between subjects situated within and moving across shifting borders.
When avatars attack! Anxiety, the creative act and the art of steam
Authors: Tofts Darren
Published: December 2021

Is the sleeping half-life of a drowsy poet the same as that of an avatar? Once the sonic conundrum of a tree falling in a forest was the acid test of the relationship between knowledge and perception. How do you know it fell if you do not hear it? The figure of the avatar is the cipher of our contemporary malaise to do with reality and its facsimiles. What then happens when we write in a dream? Is that text a copy or an original? Inspiration, accident and happenstance are perhaps other names for the avatar, and for that matter the creative act as well. Aren’t they?

Popular es radical. Anticlericalismo y sexo libre en la literatura de cordel española (siglos XVIII-XIX)
Authors: Espejo-Cala Carmen , Casas-Delgado Inmaculada
Published: December 2021

En este trabajo hemos analizado un corpus constituido por 100 pliegos sueltos. Nuestro objetivo es determinar si la calificación de conservadurismo con la que se caracteriza generalmente a la literatura de cordel española puede ser matizada a la luz de otras interpretaciones historiográficas, que conceden a la prensa popular la condición de radical. Hemos realizado un análisis de contenido en el que hemos localizado elementos propios del anticlericalismo o del discurso irreligioso, por un lado, y de la proclamación de una moral sexual relajada, por otro. Nuestra conclusión es que en la literatura de cordel puede documentarse la aspiración a hacer visibles otros modelos de comportamiento religioso y sexual, lo que permite hablar de un cierto grado de radicalismo ideológico.

De la copla al rock and roll y el pop: Los pioneros y más influyentes locutores musicales españoles (1960-1965)
Authors: Eguizábal Jiménez Luis , Martín Moraleda Ignacio José , Jiménez Gómez Isidro
Published: December 2021

A comienzos de los años sesenta algunos locutores se atrevieron a derribar unas barreras musicales y radiofónicas que habían durado veinte años en nuestro país, convirtiéndose en los adalides del rok & roll y el pop y creando nuevas formas de comunicación radiofónica. Mediante el análisis de contenido, la revisión documental, la entrevista en profundidad y el método histórico, se podrá averiguar que fueron el chileno Raúl Matas y el radio de vuelo Ángel Álvarez los más influyentes locutores musicales de este periodo. Analizando su figura y la de su más importante predecesor, Ernesto Lacalle, podremos entender cuán relevantes fueron estas personalidades para la historia de la radio musical y qué legado posterior nos dejaron.

Constitución, medio ambiente y ordenación del territorio.
Authors: Sotelo Pérez Ignacio , Sotelo Navalpotro José , Sotelo Pérez María
Published: December 2021

A lo largo del presente trabajo se lleva a estudio la actual situación medioambiental en la que nos encontramos (en España en particular, en el mundo, en general), en la que el Medio Ambiente, es entendido como un conjunto de interrelaciones ecológicas, socioeconómicas y culturales; o bien como un concepto híbrido entre naturaleza y sociedad, cada vez más precisa, en sociedades como la nuestra, de una regulación normativa, pero no una regulación normativa cualquiera, sino una regulación que a la par de eficaz sea sobre todo práctica, poniéndose de manifiesto que, entre todos los temas sociales que los constituyentes de 1978 tendrían que afrontar, el Medioambiental sería sin duda alguna uno de los más innovadores, novedosos y a la vez controvertidos; más aun teniendo en cuenta la por entonces escasa andadura de las cuestiones concernientes al mismo. La actividad protectora y promotora de los poderes públicos que alude el articulado constitucional, en los momentos actuales nos lleva a inducir cómo en sociedades como la nuestra el medio ambiente, en cuanto a derecho, pretende ser encajado dentro de una realidad social regulada y normativizada como la nuestra sustituyendo al clásico concepto de justicia. Así mismo, se analiza la base física habitable en donde las condiciones naturales permiten que se desarrolle la vida en sociedad, una sociedad que al encontrarse eminentemente regularizada y reglada necesita que de alguna manera ese espacio le sea concretado y ordenado (fundamentos y preceptos del espacio geográfico), para de este modo conocer y organizar el entorno que le rodea. Dónde concreta la sociedad el espacio que pretende organizar y ordenar, en el territorio, a través de relaciones administrativas, por medio de relaciones de poder, identificando una determinada realidad histórica, cuestiones que, sin lugar a dudas, incide y repercute en la ordenación del propio territorio.
Desarrollo agroindustrial y degradación ambiental en México (1941‐2021).
Authors: Macías Macías Alejandro , Sevilla García Yolanda Lizeth
Published: December 2021

La industrialización de la agricultura en México, surgida en el marco de la guerra fría para lograr la autosuficiencia alimentaria y consolidada bajo el modelo económico neoliberal, ha generado graves consecuencias al medio ambiente de muchas regiones productoras, que hoy son vulnerables a distintas crisis. A través de la revisión bibliográfica y estadística, en este trabajo mostramos cómo el uso desmedido de pesticidas y fertilizantes químicos, así como la sobre explotación de acuíferos, suelos y zonas forestales, han derivado en diversos daños a la naturaleza y a la salud de las personas. Ante ello, es importante cuestionarnos si realmente ha sido adecuado adoptar este proceso industrializador y, sobre todo, si se debe seguir manteniendo o resulta necesario un cambio de paradigma.
Disaster and Livelihood of the Affected Population: Case Study of June 2013 Disaster in Rudraprayag District of Uttarakhand
Authors: KHANDURİ Sushil , RAUTELA Piyoosh
Published: December 2021

Impact of disaster on the disaster affected population and utilisation pattern of the relief is assessed though a semi-structured questionnaire and focused discussions in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand in India that was affected by devastated floods in June, 2013. The families dependent on farm animals, agricultural land and business were covered under the study. This research is based on fieldwork carried out in the disaster affected Rudraprayag district and investigated an aspect that has not been studied in detail. It is found that the most persons engaged in small operations and particularly those coming from low socio-economic strata of the community fail to avail support from organised financial institutions and are therefore unable to replenish the productive assets lost in disaster and most money received in relief is spent on subsistence. This has resulted in reduced earning and deteriorated quality of life of the local inhabitants. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the fact that in the absence of popularity of risk transfer tools, productive assets lost in disaster are often not replenished as the relief amount provided by the state is significantly less than the market value of lost assets. In case of loss of productive assets, the state should therefore initiate an organised scheme with the involvement of financial institutions to ensure replenishment of productive assets of the disaster affected population rather than providing cash relief and insurance of the assets created be made mandatory as the voluntary adoption of risk transfer tools is unlikely to come by soon.

Authors: Fonseca Maria Gislene Carvalho
Published: December 2021

Este trabalho realiza uma reflexão em torno do conceito de Tradição desenvolvido nas pesquisas de Gilmar de Carvalho. A partir desse referencial, convocamos seu entendimento na abordagem da poesia de cordel como um fenômeno cultural discutido no campo da Comunicação. Para tanto, esse texto traz uma revisão bibliográfica que dialoga com a própria obra do pesquisador e realiza proposições em torno de um aprofundamento teórico sobre o cordel brasileiro. Observamos que, para Carvalho, Tradição é uma fusão de tempos, impossível de ser apreendida em uma leitura linear.

Sertão Ocre: memórias do presente
Authors: Reis Leonardo
Published: December 2021

Em Sertão Ocre, temas como memórias, vida no interior e simplicidade são abordados e construídos narrativamente. O referido ensaio fotográfico possibilita a imersão em um ambiente que é desvalorizado e renegado por muitos que não conhecem as vivências e a valorização do que se toma como tradição. Em meio a um crescente ambiente virtual, o sertão do interior do Ceará resiste e segue com uma vida rotineira após décadas de modernização e ampliação de mecanismos eletrônicos.  A tecnologia deixada de lado leva a uma conexão com a natureza e os sentidos e padrões que estão sendo ameaçados de desaparecerem com a nova geração. O que resta são costumes e tradições enraizadas desde cedo por familiares e que são passadas de geração em geração. Evidenciar as simplicidades e as belezas que o sertão ainda possui é o foco deste ensaio, além de mostrar o quanto a repetição de cores e o tempo estão presentes.

Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the comparative assessment of competence level of transport system experts. The high level of competence of the experts is the premise to ensure the quality of the expertise of the systems insufficiently formalized from a mathematical point of view and characterized with a high degree of uncertainty. Six factors for assessing the competence of transport system experts were summarized. The values of the priority vector of the competence factors were established with the application of the Saaty algorithm and scale in nine points by the method of comparisons in pairs. The value of the concordance ratio of the experts' opinion for the prioritization matrix was calculated. The comparative competence coefficient of the experts in transport systems was calculated and the hierarchy of experts was established according to the value of the nominal coefficient.

Nowadays, both globally and in Europe, and nationally, there is a tendency to promote district heating systems to the detriment of individual ones to heat dwellings in urban areas. The need to develop the DHSs is indisputable considering the topicality of global warming, the depletion of the primary energy resources and the energy efficiency trend. This article presents the method of applying regression analysis in feasibility studies for the projects of new heat consumers connection to the district heating system (hereinafter – DHS) or previously disconnected consumers reconnection via individual heating points (hereinafter – IHP) when the necessary investments are to be borne by the DHS operator, and the thermal energy is produced in cogeneration. At the same time, it is demonstrated that there is a direct and linear correlation between fuel consumption and electricity and heat produced in cogeneration at CHP plant.
A CASE STUDY ABOUT DEGRADATION OF THE BUILDINGS AND THEIR BUILDINGELEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Croitoru Gheorghe
Published: December 2021

The article deals with the problems of climate change and global warming, extreme climate phenomena, which present risk factors for the national economy, including construction. The causes that lead to the occurrence of the construction degradation phenomena are diverse and may be specific to improper exploitation, but also as a consequence of extraordinary natural phenomena or results from the humanity’s interrelationship with the environment. The degradation of the constructions is manifested by the gradual loss of the physical and functional qualities that characterize the aptitude for their exploitation, the degradation process manifesting itself starting from the contact surfaces of the constructions with the environment. Urban planning and the design of adequate infrastructure play an important role in minimizing the impact of climate change and reducing the risk to the human environment. The undertaking's measures, which will consider the potential impact of climate change on buildings, will provide opportunities for new markets for climate change-resistant technologies, machinery, materials, and products

Authors:   Technical University of Moldova, Sturza Rodica , Mija Nina ,   Technical University of Moldova, Deseatnicov Olga ,   Technical University of Moldova, Covaliov Eugenia ,   Technical University of Moldova, Suhodol Natalia ,   Technical University of Moldova
Published: December 2021

New analytical tools to study iron bioavailability are proposed in this article. An algorithm was devised to predict dietary iron abortion from school meals based on the contents of dietary factors that have the ability to promote or inhibit heme or non-heme iron absorption. The highest absorption rate of iron from representative meals was observed in the presence of ascorbic acid (27,73%) or meat ingredients (27,70%), and the lowest absorption rate – in the presence of Ca (12,40%), tannins (5,83%) and polyphenols (5,36%). Relationships between quantities of total iron intake from foods (dialyzable iron, in vitro assay) and the value of nutritional factors in those are described as exponential equations allowing calculations at any stationary state. In elaborated formula the rate of iron absorbance can be predicted considering one, two or three nutritional factors at the same time. The results emphasize the fact that it is important to understand the meal composition for the correct estimation of iron bioavailability.

This study was conducted to determine the impact of using process approach in writing narrative composition for Senior High School students who were taking Reading and Writing subject. It focused on determining students’ progress in writing narrative composition in terms of organization, coherence, appropriate language use, and mechanics. The study used quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design wherein the respondents, who were chosen through total population sampling, underwent pre-test in which they were tasked to write narrative composition using traditional approach. Process writing approach was implemented with the use of activity manual as teaching- learning guide wherein the final output was evaluated as post-test of the study. Based on the findings, Senior High School students were not competent in writing narrative composition especially in terms of coherence, appropriate language use and mechanics using traditional approach. But with the use of process writing approach, the students were assessed to become proficient in four writing competencies. Thus, the study recommended the use of process writing approach as it was found effective in enhancing students’ competency in writing narrative composition.

MENURUNKAN FREKUENSI KERUSAKAN SISTEM MESIN DENGAN MEMODIFIKASI JADWAL MAINTENANCE PADA BUS MRT SCANIA TIPE K310 DAN PENANGANAN LIMBAH YANG DITIMBULKANNYA
Authors: Manurung Vuko A T , Wibowo Yohanes Tri Joko , Nurdin Thoriq Daffa
Published: December 2021

UT cabang On Road merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang dipilih oleh operator bus Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Jakarta untuk melakukan kontrak perawatan pada unit Scania K310 IB Maxi Bus miliknya, sehingga unit bus siap beroperasi melayani transportasi publik. Pada 2021 unit bus tipe K310 mengalami persoalan berupa mesin yang mati mendadak. Pengecekan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa aliran bahan bakar dari filter bahan bakar ke mesin mengalami sumbatan sehingga alirannya tidak lancar. Dari persoalan yang timbul ini maka dilakukan penyelidikan dan ditemukan aliran bahan bakar yang tidak lancer ke mesin. Dari buku referensi yang ada, penggunaan solar B30 yang ada di pasaran Indonesia akan menyebabkan usia saringan bahan bakar menjadi lebih pendek. Oleh karena itu dilakukan perbaikan pada sistem penyaringan (filter) bahan bakar dengan mempercepat penggantian pre fuel filter dari per 20.000 km pemakaian, menjadi setiap 10.000 km pemakaian. Proses ini dilakukan guna menghindari denda dari operator bus akibat tidak beroperasi dan terjadinya di jalur khusus bus yang mengakibatkan kemacetan. Metodologi penelitian yang dilakukan adalah mengecek peyebab mogoknya unit, mengambil sampel bahan bakar yang ada di filter dan mengirimkan ke lab utuk di analisis kandungannya sehingga dapat diambil tindakan. Proses perbaikan ini dapat menurunkan kerusakan mesin sampai dengan 0% sehingga target Physical Availability (PA) unit tercapai. Percepatan penggantian saringan bahan bakar ini mengakibatkan jumlah limbah yang dihasilkan dari saringan tersebut juga makin banyak sehingga perlu dibuat juga sistem pengolahan limbah bahan bakar agar dapat dipakai dan tidak dibuang secara percuma.

PT. ABC merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang elektronik. Salah satu produk yang dihasilkan adalah AC (Air Conditioner) yang merupakan suatu alat yang digunakan untuk mengatur atau mengkondisikan kualitas udara yang meliputi sirkulasi udara, mengatur kelembaban udara, mengatur kebersihan udara dan untuk memurnikan udara. Salah satu business unit yaitu Business Unit Air Conditioner memproduksi AC berupa indoor unit dan outdoor unit. Pada proses produksinya dibagi menjadi 5 area antara lain press shop (M1), evacond area (M2), assembly CU line, assembly CS line, dan assembly CB line. Evacond Area (M2) adalah area manufaktur untuk memproduksi evaporator dan kondensor, salah satu station kerja di evacond area adalah fin press. Pada mesin fin press belum tercapainya target produksi, dimana target produksi sebesar 243.375 unit sedangkan aktualnya hanya mencapai 193.855 unit. Hal tersebut disebabkan oleh loss time yang terjadi di mesin fin press sebesar 34.061 menit dengan loss time terbesarnya adalah breakdown loss sebesar 10.056 menit. Akar permasalahan breakdown loss yang besar adalah belum melaksanakan metode preventive maintenance sesuai jadwal, dikarenakan mesin harus selalu on untuk mengejar target produksi. Maka dari itu, penulis membuat jadwal khusus untuk menerapkan metode preventive maintenance untuk mesin fin press, dikarenakan permintaan produksi yang tinggi maka pelaksanaan preventive maintenance dilaksanakan pada hari libur sehingga tidak akan mengganggu produksi yang sedang mengejar target. Dengan pelaksanaan preventive maintenance sesuai jadwal dapat mengurangi waktu sebesar 31.228 menit dan diharapkan produksi mencapai 243.375 unit

Isuzu Astra Motor Indonesia (IAMI) merupakan agen tunggal pemegang merek Isuzu yang memiliki 120 diler di seluruh Indonesia. Setiap tahunnya diler IAMI melakukan kegiatan promosi demi meningkatkan penjualan produk, namun saat ini proses pengajuan dokumen kegiatan promosi diler ke IAMI dirasa masih kurang efisien. Kegiatan pengajuan membutuhkan waktu yang lama dan biaya pengiriman melalui kurir relatif tinggi dikarenakan arsip atau dokumen dibuat dan dikirimkan dengan cara konvensional. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut maka diusulkan solusi digitalisasi melalui pembangunan aplikasi Dealer Activity Support (DAS) yang akan mengubah proses pembuatan dan pengajuan kegiatan promosi dari konvensional menjadi digital. DAS dibangun menggunakan metode pengembangan perangkat lunak waterfall dengan menggunakan layanan teknologi informasi komputasi awan berbasis platform as a service (paas). Dengan aplikasi DAS biaya pengiriman dokumen melalui kurir dapat dihilangkan dan waktu pengajuan dapat dipercepat sampai 72%. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya, disarankan untuk menambahkan faktor keamanan dalam aplikasi.

Fixture uji vibrasi harus dapat memegang device under test (DUT) selama proses pengujian dan sesuai dengan kondisi aslinya. Umumnya fixture uji vibrasi yang dibuat harus sesuai dengan geometri DUT. Oleh karena fixture uji vibrasi dibuat secara khusus untuk DUT tertentu, maka hal ini membuat proses uji vibrasi menjadi panjang alurnya dan lama pelaksanaannya. Selain itu, hal tersebut juga menyebabkan tingginya biaya untuk pembuatan fixture baru. Salah satu solusi dari masalah ini adalah dengan membuat fixture uji vibrasi yang bersifat universal. Fixture uji vibrasi yang bersifat universal dirancang mampu digunakan untuk hampir semua bentuk DUT. Fixture tersebut akan digunakan pada pengujian kategori S standar DO-160G section vibrasi yang memiliki rentang pengujian 5-500 Hz sehingga harus memiliki frekuensi natural di atas 500 Hz. Dalam studi ini dilakukan analisis sebuah rancangan fixture uji vibrasi yang bersifat universal mengunakan metode elemen hingga. Analisis dilakukan untuk fixture uji vibrasi universal berukuran 600 mm x 600 mm menggunakan metode analisis modal dan harmonik pada rentang frekuensi 5 Hz - 2000 Hz, kemudian dilakukan analisis kemampuan aktual sistem uji vibrasi berdasarkan massa fixture. Dua jenis material yaitu paduan aluminium dan paduan magnesium digunakan dalam studi ini. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa performa fixture yang menggunakan material Al 6061 tidak jauh berbeda dengan material Mg. Frekuensi natural yang diperoleh untuk fixture bermaterial Al 6061 adalah 975.94 Hz sedangkan untuk material paduan Mg adalah 996.88 Hz dengan selisih sebesar 2.14%, keduanya memenuhi kebutuhan pengujian vibrasi DO-160G kategori S. Analisis harmonik menghasilkan perbedaan amplitudo respon yang tidak signifikan yaitu di bawah 0.6‰. Fixture bermaterial logam paduan Mg lebih ringan daripada material Al 6061 sehingga menghasilkan kemampuan aktual sistem uji vibrasi yang lebih tinggi. Logam paduan Mg dipilih menjadi kandidat utama material fixture uji vibrasi universal yang akan dimanufaktur karena mampu menghasilkan kemampuan aktual sistem uji vibrasi yang lebih tinggi.

Berkembangnya teknologi membuat mesin kendaraan sekarang menggunakan sistem injeksi yang dilengkapi dengan berbagai komponen dan sensor untuk mendukung proses pembakaran di ruang mesin. Salah satunya yaitu TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Sensor TP berfungsi untuk mendeteksi adanya perubahan posisi pada throttle gas. Adanya kerusakan pada sensor TP dapat mempengaruhi performa dari kendaraan. Umumnya pengecekan sensor TP dilakukan menggunakan multimeter yang tentunya sulit untuk dilakukan, karena posisi dari sensor TP yang sulit dijangkau. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan alat yang mampu digunakan untuk mengecek kondisi sensor TP secara efisien. TPS Checker merupakan alat yang digunakan untuk mengecek kondisi sensor TP melalui pengukuran tegangan pada input dan output sensor TP serta hambatannya sesuai dengan kondisi bukaan throttle gas. Hasil pengukuran didapat dari rumus pembagi tegangan (voltage divider). Alat TPS checker dibuat dengan menggunakan microcontroller ESP32 yang dapat dihubungkan dengan smartphone untuk menampilkan hasil pengukuran secara real-time melalui aplikasi Blynk serta dilengkapi fitur reset untuk menghapus data kerusakan yang sudah terdeteksi dan tersimpan di Engine Control Unit (ECU). TPS Checker dapat digunakan untuk mengukur sensor TP pada seluruh kendaraan injeksi, namun penulis melakukan pengujian TPS Checker menggunakan sepeda motor Honda Revo PGM-FI. Setiap tipe kendaraan memiliki standar pengukuran yang berbeda-beda. Standar pengukuran pada motor Honda Revo PGM-FI yaitu tegangan sensor TP sebesar 4,75V – 5,25V dan hambatan berada pada rentang 0 – 5K Ohm. Dari hasil pengujian TPS Checker dapat disimpulkan bahwa alat ini mampu digunakan untuk melakukan pengukuran pada sensor TP serta menghapus kode kerusakan pada sepeda motor Honda Revo PGM-FI.
What Determines the Financial and Insurance Services Exports: The Case of the United Kingdom

The financial sector is a very basic pillar of the international financial system. Almost all countries of the present international economic system participate in international financial services. Today's era, due to intense globalization, constant capital movements, continuous commercial integration and the ever-increasing financial interconnection, have made financial and insurance services an essential element of the present reality. The financial sector is an industry that is very 'sensitive' to the macroeconomic and political stability of countries. This means that countries that are considered unstable cannot have a positive impact on their financial activities. One country that has a strong position in the financial sector is the United Kingdom (UK). The question that can be asked is this: what are the factors that determine the optimal functioning of financial and insurance activities. One answer could be the strong financial institutions of a country. Another answer is the corruption indicator. Or even the existence of intervention by the state apparatus in the financial functions. Of course, these factors must have tangible proof of the functioning of the economy. State intervention, for example, does not entirely mean that it is dysfunctional. This study will seek to create a framework for the analysis of financial services factors. The methodology applied is The Multiple Linear Regression - Ordinary Least Squares (OLS).

This piece of research brings animals characters used in the book titled kalīlaẗ wa dimnaẗ by ibn al-muqfaʿ under a microscopic view, to see how and what they are saying. The book is undoubtedly one of the stroke of genius of Arab literature. The animals in this book are talking selves who speak in all areas of life, politics, morals, and friendship. It is a collection of allegorical stories by animals that fall within the art of fabrication; it is a fine literature on its own.

He takes the approach of wisdom, setting examples for lessons and education, which the writer adopts for amusement, ridicule or humiliation in a manner that is carried out by animals for fear of the unjust ruler, where animals exploit resourcefulness to achieve their ends, the wise men also formulate tricks in order to carry out their educational role, and their greatest influence on souls is to put proverbs on the tongues of animals.
