Authors: Murharsito Murharsito
Published: March 2022

The massive transmission of the second wave pandemic of Covid-19 in Indonesia in June 2021 caused the Government to take a decision to impose an Emergency Java-Bali Community Activity Restriction (PPKM) aimed to minimize the effect of its spread. By using an event study, the objective of this article is to analyze the impact of announcement of public restrictions on the price and returns of stocks of the 5 largest banks in Indonesia, namely BCA, BNI, BRI, BTN, and MANDIRI. The analytical technique used was the paired sample T test and the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results reveal that neither stock prices nor stock returns indicated a difference in the 5 days before and after the date of the announcement of the emergency PPKM. This shows that the announcement does not contain relevant information for investors. This may be because investors have made adjustments due to the effect of the pandemic Covid-19 in the initial phase of the corona outbreak in Indonesia.

Exploring Connotative Meanings and Metaphors of Saudi Animal Proverbs: A Semantic and Pragmatic Analysis
Authors: Ghafoori Meead , Elyas Tariq
Published: March 2022

Proverbs tend to reflect a nation’s social values, attitudes, and beliefs. The connotative meanings underlying animal proverbial sayings can either be affectionate or abusive based on the cultural aspects of the language under investigation. Although the semantic connotations of animal proverbs have been extensively studied, little scholarly attention has been paid to the proverbial expressions pertaining to animals in Saudi Arabia. The main aim of this study is to semantically and pragmatically investigate the connotations of animal proverbs in Hijazi Arabic in Saudi Arabia. The paper also seeks to deduce the representation of human-animal relation and explore the cultural values of the Hijazi society as depicted in the proverbs. The data is collected from different sources, mainly from a book of Hijazi proverbs by Atique (2018). About 11 animal proverbs were selected, classified and translated, both literally and figuratively, into English. The analysis of data is based on Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory, the approaches involving Semantic Molecules proposed by Goddard (1998), and the theories of Cultural Linguistics introduced by Palmer (1996).The findings showed that human-animal interface is depicted through the conceptual mappings where animals function as a vehicle to express human characteristics, traits and behaviors. Moreover, the results revealed that all of the selected animal proverbs are evaluated negatively, except for one animal. Additionally, certain pragmatic functions were achieved using the proverbial expressions. There was also a variety of social and cultural underpinnings underlying these proverbs, which seem to have been transmitted from one generation to another.

Published: March 2022

Jaringan sensor nirkabel merupakan teknologi yang banyak digunakan oleh sistem dengan koneksi jarak jauh. Jaringan sensor nirkabel terdiri dari sensor node serta gateway. Sesuai dengan tujuan pengembangannya, sensor node dari jaringan sensor nirkabel seringkali terletak di daerah yang jauh dari sumber listrik. Selain itu, baterai sebagai sumber daya untuk sensor node memiliki kapasitas yang terbatas dan akan berkurang seiring waktu. Solar energy harvesting (SEH) adalah suatu metode pembangkitan listrik dari energi sekitar dengan menggunakan sinar matahari sebagai sumber energi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan realisasi dan investigasi penggunaan SEH pada sistem jaringan sensor nirkabel untuk mendeteksi kualitas udara. SEH dirancang dengan menggunakan panel surya yang mengubah energi foton sinar matahari menjadi daya listrik yang disimpan pada baterai. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan SEH pada sistem pemantauan kualitas udara dapat memberikan tambahan daya pada baterai sehingga masa pakai baterai dua kali lebih lama dari masa pakai baterai pada node sensor tanpa SEH. Pada sistem ini, kualitas udara dan kondisi baterai dari setiap sensor node dapat dipantau melalui antarmuka berbasis web yang dapat diakses secara lokal maupun luas melalui jaringan internet.
Aplikasi pengukur kecepatan bola pada video pertandingan tenis meja menggunakan OpenCV dan Python
Authors: Mozef Eril , Kurniati Siti
Published: March 2022

Dalam cabang olahraga tenis meja, seringkali kita ingin menganalisa karakteristik bola (kecepatan, spin, dan lain-lain) secara kuantitatif. Hal ini dikarenakan selama ini, analisa dilakukan secara kualitatif melalui pengamatan visual saja. Dengan adanya sarana analisa karakterisik bola ini maka kemampuan lawan maupun pemain itu sendiri dapat dievaluasi guna mengatur strategi pelatihan yang baik. Terkait dengan itu maka suatu aplikasi berbasis software pengukur kecepatan bola dari sebuah video pertandingan tenis meja dikembangkan pada penelitian ini. Pada aplikasi ini, pengguna dapat membuka sebuah file video pertandingan tenis meja, mengamati lintasan bola yang ingin diukur, menempatkan dua kotak pengamatan kemunculan bola di layar, memainkan kembali video, dan dapat mengetahui nilai kecepatan yang ditampilkan di layar. Aplikasi ini menggunakan platform OpenCV dan Python. Penelitian ini telah mampu mengukur kecepatan bola pada rentang 6 km/jam hingga 295 km/jam dengan beberapa asumsi antara lain segmen lintasan yang dipilih pendek, lurus, dan berada di tengah lintasan sehingga faktor percepatan dapat diabaikan dalam perhitungan. Walaupun hasil yang didapat masih belum terlalu presisi, namun aplikasi ini sudah dapat memberikan informasi berharga tentang seberapa cepat bola dimainkan dalam suatu pertandingan tenis meja.

Penerangan jalan umum (PJU) merupakan aspek penting dalam penataan suatu daerah/kota. PJU berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) sebenarnya sudah banyak, baik menggunakan kabel atau nirkabel. Namun, masih banyak PJU yang menggunakan sistem manual untuk mengaktifkan dan mematikannya. Pada lokasi tertentu PJU dengan basis IoT tidak dapat bekerja karena terletak pada daerah pedalaman yang tidak terjangkau oleh internet. Maka, pada penelitian ini digunakan metode power line carrier (PLC) KQ330 sebagai penghantar komunikasi data. Pada tiap PJU dilengkapi Arduino Uno, PLC, dan relai. Arduino Uno akan memproses data yang diterima pada sisi PJU dan diteruskan pada relai yang akan menyalakan dan mematikan lampu. Lampu PJU dikendalikan melalui web interface yang terhubung dengan NodeMCU sebagai pengirim data pada PJU. Pengirim dan penerima akan terhubung dengan komunikasi melalui jaringan kabel PLN. Dari pengujian yang telah dilakukan, pada mode otomatis PLC dapat mengirim data sejauh 200 meter dengan durasi pengiriman 252 milidetik. Untuk mode manual pada jarak 200 meter PLC dapat mengirim data dengan durasi 1 detik. Oleh karena itu, PJU dengan kendali PLC dapat diimplementasikan pada daerah yang tidak terjangkau akses internet.

The shape of the seed was varied as well as the size, probably associated with the ecological conditions in which species are distributed; X-rays provide important information on the development and condition of the embryo, however, it is not indicative of the viability of the seed.
Los memoriales como fuente para el estudio de la Inquisición en el Tribunal de Navarra (1609-1621)
Authors: Santiago Medina Bárbara
Published: April 2022

Los años 1609 y 1610 son los de las causas y el auto de fe de las conocidas como «brujas de Zugarramurdi». Se escribe sobre procesos y víctimas, pero todavía queda mucho por saber sobre el funcionamiento de los tribunales que decidían el destino de un buen número de personas. El auto de fe de Zugarramurdi es un paradigma histórico, pero el Tribunal que lo organizó no era perfecto. Era un nido de corrupción, dividido en bandos, destruido desde dentro. El presente artículo se centrará en los memoriales que, durante un decenio, se hicieron llegar a la Suprema y en los que se informaba de la decadente y penosa situación del Tribunal de Logroño.
Nadie está contento con la política migratoria
Authors:   Instituto de Investigaciones Dr. José María Luis Mora, Calderón Chelius Leticia
Published: March 2022

El desencuentro que la política migratoria ha manifestado entre los liderazgos de lo migratorio no corresponde con el discurso celebratorio de la comunidad mexicana en el extranjero hacia el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador, como pudo verse en su intervención ante las Naciones Unidas en noviembre de 2021 cuando multitudes lo vitorearon, mientras que en México distintos liderazgos políticos y comunitarios no logran encontrar el eje que les permita negociar los puntos que han empujado desde hace años y que hoy se topan contra la pared. Reflexionar sobre este aspecto en el marco de la coyuntura tanto del discurso ante la ONU como la aprobación del presupuesto federal 2022, es un intento de abrir el debate a fin de ofrecer otras coordenadas para ubicar el momento político, incluso la redefinición de conceptos, ideas que fueron centrales y formas de interacción política con una nueva dimensión.

Published: March 2022

Los albergues y las casas de migrantes son el esfuerzo social más logrado en el acompañamiento y atención a los migrantes internacionales que transitan por México. La mayoría de ellos tienen al menos un componente católico. En este texto se abordan algunas de las complejidades (intraeclesiásticas, pastorales, financieras, jurídicas, recursos materiales y humanos, inseguridad) que enfrentan a fin de existir y actuar. Se aquilata su labor y se señalan algunas de sus principales características que distinguen unos albergues de otros en un entorno social y eclesial cada vez más difícil y problemático. Se concluye que su labor sigue siendo vital para los migrantes, para la convivencia social en los lugares de tránsito migratorio y para la gobernabilidad, aunque se encuentran en riesgo de ser rebasados por la inseguridad pública, la creciente demanda de atención por parte de los migrantes y la urgente necesidad de nuevos mecanismos de cooperación institucional.

Los órganos de tratados de derechos humanos de Naciones Unidas produjeron documentación que interpela no solo a los Estados donde residen víctimas de violaciones de derechos que involucran a empresas con alcance internacional, sino también a otros actores con capacidad de incidencia en redes, procesos o dispositivos económicos globales. Esos pronunciamientos sirven para determinar nuevas lógicas de atención en la relación de empresas transnacionales y derechos humanos, promoviendo alternativas para regular los dispositivos económicos que funcionan de apoyo al desarrollo empresarial. El estudio ordena más de 250 publicaciones (dirigidas a 116 países) con base en 7 campos temáticos de interés: acuerdos comerciales y/o de inversión, obligaciones de tipo extraterritorial, privatizaciones, consulta previa, entre otros. El estado actual de desarrollo del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos empuja a los Estados a actuar sobre ciertas bases de la globalización económica y controlar así los efectos indeseados del accionar empresarial.
Knowledge Enhancement and Understanding of Diversity
Authors: Tiwari Siddhartha Paul
Published: March 2022

In many societies, diversity has been neglected. The importance of diversity in the society for knowledge generation has become increasingly apparent in recent years. In order to achieve diversity, we need to take into account people from various backgrounds and backgrounds, and to understand that every individual is unique. Differentiating people can be based on race or ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, sexual orientation, economic background, and disabilities. We must recognize that each of these differences results in different experiences for individuals, and that all of these experiences can be synthesized to generate knowledge that is both more inclusive and more comprehensive. Diverse initiatives can be used to promote diversity in educational institutions, such as affirmative action and diversity programs. As diversity enhances receptivity to learning from others' experiences, it is essential for creativity and innovation. Furthermore, diversity promotes productivity and performance as a team can draw on the experience of each individual to find solutions to problems. Individuals must be aware of different opportunities and possibilities in order to grow as individuals, and diversity allows this to happen. As diversity prepares individuals for a diverse world, it is also important to students' learning. Ultimately, diversity contributes significantly to the creation of new knowledge due to the fact that it helps people draw on their own experiences and the experiences of others in order to discover new approaches to problems.

Published: March 2022

Proactive employee behaviour provides immense benefits to organisations at both macro and micro levels of analysis. Studies have suggested workplace democracy one of its significant antecedents. However, research on the workplace democracy–proactive employee behaviour relationship has been grossly neglected. The current study employed the proactive behaviour theory to address the general association between workplace democracy and proactive employee behaviour in Iraqi higher educational institutions, based on assessments of the constructs at the global level of analysis. Scoping review was used in sourcing relevant literature upon which the hypothesis was developed. In testing the hypothesis, data were collected from a sample of 244 faculty (Ffemale, 29.02%; Mmale, 70.98%) drawn from Al-Qadisiyah University, using validated measures of workplace democracy (α = 0.915) and proactive behaviour (α = 0.787). PLS-SEM in SmartPLS was used in the analysis and test of the hypothesis. The results confirm that workplace democracy significantly and positively impacts the proactive behaviours of employees at the Al-Qadisiyah University (β = 0.011, t = 2.799, p = 0.005). Based on the discussion of the results, several recommendations were proffered.
THE INFLUENTIAL MUSICAL COMPOSITIONAL TOOLS OF MALAY POPULAR MUSIC IN MALAYSIA OF THE MID 20th AND THE EARLY 21st CENTURY
Authors: Boyle James Philip Sheng , Hashim Mohd Nasir , Chang Yi-Li
Published: March 2022

In the mid-20th century, it is noteworthy that Malay popular music composed
in this era was heavily influenced by various stylistic and cultural musical forms
of both the traditional Malay styles such as asli, inang, joget, zapin and even
keroncong, and also by Western idioms and styles. Branded as jazz ballads in
the Mid-20th Century, Malay popular music is a key subject in unveiling the
musical changes in the Malay popular music history of Peninsula Malaysia. In
the 1960s, there was a trend to compose Malay popular music with heavily
influenced idiomatic jazz harmonics in the many various Western styles. In the
early 21st century, as it has musically and stylistically evolved, Malay popular
music became closely associated with the continuous dissemination of patriotic
songs in Malaysia as well as an amalgamation of the various trending styles of
the Western hemisphere such as funk, pop, rhythm and blues, gospel and even
rock music. Throughout it all, the continued and consistent harmonics of Jazz
Music have been an ever-present tool for many Malay Popular Music
composers since the early years of independence. This paper will focus on four
chosen compositions, two from each of the time frames in focus and each tune
will have an analysis from a singular compositional viewpoint, be it melodic
(Gema Rembulan-Jimmy Boyle, 1956), chordal (Air Mata Berderai-Alfonso
Soliano,1964) or the dissertation of the song-form (Selingkuh Kasih-Mokhzani
Ismail,2006 & Gemilang-Aubrey Suwito,2005). Through the analysis of the
chosen musical scores, this paper intends to reintroduce and refresh the
essential elements of composing a Malay Popular Music composition as well
as the musical influences and changing mindsets of approach on the different
compositional styles of Malay popular music, its culture, and identity, of the mid-20th and the early 21st centuries of Malaysia to the current and future
composers of this genre.

Authors: Lim Ester C. , Gaerlan Amelita A.
Published: March 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic, constant natural disasters, the economic crisis, and other recent global uncertainties have exacerbated the problems of numerous organizations that are currently in decline. Educational institutions, especially smaller ones that lack financial reserves to weather economic storms, are not immune to collapse. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in the Philippines, several schools were fighting for survival. The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak along with other challenges underlines the importance of organizational resilience. Organizational resilience is the capacity to prepare for, anticipate, respond to, cope with, adapt to, and learn from adverse events. It is influenced by lots of factors, including culture and leadership. It is also an interplay of different dimensions, making this construct multilevel. Each level of resilience may or may not necessarily lead to resilience at one level. Therefore, this study used literature review to investigate how resilience at one level can facilitate the development of resilience at another level. Additionally, it also examined the influences of organizational culture and leadership on each organizational resilience level. The results will benefit Filipino-Chinese school administrators, HR practitioners, researchers, school employees, and other decision makers.

The COVID-19 lockdown in Malaysia resulted in disruptions to everyday life, including changes in grocery shopping, cooking, and eating. Individuals are spending more time at home and consuming food and meals that would have otherwise taken place in different settings. This study aims are twofold; to explore the changes in dietary patterns during COVID 19 lockdown; and to understand the perception of food preparation during COVID 19 lockdown. This study employs qualitative approach using an in-depth interview conducted using a sample of 12 respondents of a typical Malaysian household. The respondents participated in a virtual interview session via Zoom about dietary patterns and food preparation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study found two main themes emerged from the thematic analysis conducted; (1) increasing patterns of dietary habits implicated by increased in food consumption, increased and more regular mealtimes, and increased snacking habits; (2) perceived positive feelings in food preparation during lockdown, which were implicated by increased food preparation time, positive feelings associated with food preparation, and increased awareness on safety about food preparation during lockdown. Consequently, an increased pattern in dietary habits were inevitable during the lockdown period and food preparation activities were considered as an important leisure activity with the loved ones during the COVID-19 period, especially for people who suddenly faced a lockdown almost no one is accustomed to. As Malaysia begins to transition to a new normal, a return to healthier eating habits should be the focus of public health efforts.
DEVELOPMENT OF QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR CONSTRUCTION IN OIL AND GAS COMPANY BY USING STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL AND SIX SIGMA
Authors: Sucipto Nur Aditia Buana
Published: March 2022

Stripe Oil Indonesia operated in Sumatera with a production capacity of 200,000 barrels of oil per day and operated over 530 km of pipelines. Many pipelines have already exceeded their design life with some segments more than 50 years with high potential for leaks that have caused production loss. To extend the operating lifetime of existing pipelines, a pipeline repair project was started in 2019 with sleeve installation. Based on factual data, the project team has experienced a delay in the first 2 months of the project. One of the main contributions to the delay was the welding failure that occurred in January 2019. The welding failure has caused a fire incident due to burn-through in the existing pipeline. The root cause analysis of burn-through incidents has been done with the finding of poor welder performance to meet project requirements. The recommendation is to measure the welder’s performance from heat input data records and analyze the rejection rate and capability index. This research demonstrates how Six Sigma methodology using the DMAIC process and Statistical Quality Control can be applied successfully in pipeline repair projects to address issues of reducing defective welds, improving quality performance, and achieving project milestones. The analysis result showed an improvement in quality performance where the defect rate continued to decline as well as the capability index of the welder continued to improve and completed sleeve installation above the target. The project team also managed to achieve the six sigma level. Improvements also occurred in safety performance which achieved zero incidents due to welding failure (burn-through) from February 2019 to December 2020. In terms of business, actual cost savings achieved 28% from the approved budget.

Published: March 2022

The multimodal system in Indonesia requires development in order to create a more efficient and reliable freight transport and diminish the domination of road transport, i.e. trucks. The utilization of more than one mode in a multimodal system, where there is a door-to-door element, requires a network development concept that refers to the use of generalized costs, instead of costs incurred to use the system (out of pocket). Generalized cost is the concept of monetization of time, distance and cost variables into a certain unit value (time or cost). The aim of this study is to analyze the generalized cost model of freight transport in Java based on truck, train and ship modes. In this paper, the generalized cost variable used is based on the viewpoint from freight forwarders and shippers obtained through primary surveys and the AHP method cost, reliability and lead time. Monetization of reliability and lead time variables on costs is based on a stated preference survey, the results of which show that the truck mode has a time VOR Rp 1,181,771 and VOT Rp 174,079 (per delivery per hour). These values are the largest compared to the other modes considering that congestion and the unavailability of adequate infrastructure are the factors that cause delays. The results of the generalized cost show that the ship mode, which has the largest generalized cost value, is 1.29 times more expensive than the truck mode considering that the journey is heavily influenced by weather and has a need for further modes to the destination as well as additional handling equipment which increases transportation costs. The outcome are expected to be used by the government as a reference in determining multimodal transport development policies which will enable the system to compete in the logistics sector.

Published: March 2022

The aim of the present work was to develop pharmaceutical combinational dosage form for simultaneous treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes with at high-risk of coronary disease associated co-morbidities. Metformin, an antidiabetic drug is used to treat the diabetic patient and combined with Simvastatin which is HMG-CoA reductase inihibitor drug to treat the high-risk coronary disease simultaneously. In this formulation, three batches were prepared by the direct compression method. Preformulation parameters such as identification, solubility, melting point, compatibility studies, Pre-compression parameters such as bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, Hausner ratio, compressibility index, and Post-compression parameters like weight uniformity, hardness, drug content, thickness, in-vitrodrug release. In-vitrodrug release of all formulations, B1, B2, and B3 was carried out in 0.1N HCl for 2hrs and 10 hrs in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) dissolution media. Among all the formulations, B3 was an optimized batch. B3 formulations showed drug release of 85% for Metformin Hydrochloride and 93% for Simvastatin over a period of 12hrs.©2022iGlobal Research and PublishingFoundation. All rights reserved.

Published: March 2022

In vitro mass propagation has been regarded as a significant technique formass propagation of plantlets in a short period and utilization of cell suspension cultures for metabolite generation. It has helped in biodiversity conservation of many endemic plants since it provides a way for the utilization of plant germplasm withoutdestroying natural habitats. Trichodesma indicumis one of the most significant medicinal herbs and desired for many formulations in the medical sector. Its overexploitation from natural habitats may be a threat to its diversity. The authors have proposedan optimized protocol for plantlet generation with greater viability potential and could be used to mass propagate plants in a short period. It was evident from the study that variable combinations of plant growth regulators and sucrose were able to alterthe multiplication potential of axillary buds and it could be enhanced with the proper combination.©2022iGlobal Research and PublishingFoundation.

Published: March 2022

A maternidade tem impacto na carreira docente. Dessa forma, objetivou-se analisar a produtividade de docentes inseridos/as em programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu sob recorte de gênero e maternidade. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, documental e quantitativo, realizado a partir do acesso a currículos Lattes de docentes de ambos os sexos, inseridos em programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu no Nordeste do Brasil, no quadriênio 2017-2020. Os dados foram analisados pela estatística descritiva simples e 90 currículos foram incluídos na amostra, sendo 30 referentes ao sexo feminino que gozaram da licença-maternidade, 30 do sexo feminino sem licença e 30 do sexo masculino. Os achados revelam produtividade acadêmica e científica maior em docentes do sexo masculino, em parte, pelas desigualdades de gênero identificadas. Conclui-se que o viés de gênero dificulta a produtividade equânime entre os gêneros, ainda mais díspares frente à maternidade, o que reforça a necessidade de políticas de igualdade entre os gêneros na academia.
