Revitalisasi Pengembangan Moderasi Beragama pada Era Digital di Indonesia
Authors: Agung Agung , Maulana Muhammad Azka
Published: March 2022

Salah satu sikap yang mampu menengahi perilaku esktrem dalam beragama adalah dengan moderasi beragama. Tujuan penelitian ini sebagai upaya untuk mengetahui perkembangan moderasi beragama yang semakin intensif pada zaman digital di Indonesia. Metode Penelitian dalam riset ini menggunakan studi kepustakaan dan teknik analisanya deskriptif analitis. Sumber primer dalam riset ini berasal dari majalah, buku dan surat kabar. Hasil penelitian, penulis menyimpulkan setidaknya dua permasalahan umat islam; Pertama, kesulitan beberapa golongan dalam mengamalkan islam yang moderat adalah karena mereka hanya melihat teks hukum (al-qur’an dan hadist) tanpa menjelajahi aspek nahwu, shorof, ushul fiqh, balaghoh, mantiq dan seterusnya. Lebih lanjut, mereka cenderung mendikotomikan ulama. Artinya, ulama yang dianggap bukan golongannya, maka mereka cenderung menolak pendapatnya, meskipun yang disampaikannya itu benar. Yang kedua, kecenderungan beragama yang ekstrem dikarenakan faktor hawa nafsu dengan mengikuti konten berita negatif atau hoax yang tersebar di media sosial. Dengan demikian konsep muslim moderat itu muslim yang memiliki prinsip dan sikap tidak melebihi dari ruang yang semestinya, tidak fanatik namun juga tidak longgar dalam menjalankan praktik beragama.

Published: March 2022

A subject of physics includes various complex and sophisticated concepts that pose a challenge for both instructors to teach and students to grasp the clarity in the subject. Many researchers have discussed this challenge toward adopting an appropriate approach to teach physics in the institution. Therefore, the study reviews the research articles towards multimedia in improving the knowledge delivery system of physics published in various standard databases/indexes. The study conducts a literature review based on five-stage methodology comprising of: (1) research article collection from the databases, (2) research article inclusion/exclusion norms, (3) reviewing the processed research articles, (4) analyzing the research articles to extract the information, and (5) inferring the extracted information to derive at the future research direction. The paper contributes to reviewing thirty-three research articles specific to the usage of multimedia towards improving the methodologies involved in teaching and learning physics. The core idea of this study is to extract the research gaps on the usage of multimedia in the current knowledge delivery system of the physics domain to provide future research directions. Further, a bibliometric analysis comprises co-occurrence of keywords, citation, and co-citation using VOSviewer software. It is followed by content analysis to analyze the research method and multimedia tool used. The study outcome shows that most of the existing work found is Quasi-experimental design-based or qualitative design-based. The study outcome also highlights various themes of accepted papers and research gaps on the usage of multimedia in the knowledge delivery system of the physics domain.
A home for all within planetary boundaries: pathways for meeting England’s housing needs without transgressing national climate and biodiversity goals
Authors: zu Ermgassen Sophus , Drewniok Michal , Bull Joseph , Walker Christine Corlet , Mancini Mattia , Ryan-Collins Josh , Serrenho André Cabrera
Published: March 2022

Secure housing is a fundamental human right. However, potential conflicts between housing and sustainability objectives remain under-researched. We explore the impact of current English government housing policy, and alternative housing strategies, on national carbon and biodiversity goals. Using material flow and land use change/biodiversity models, we estimate under current policy housing alone would consume 104% of England’s cumulative carbon budget for 2050 (2.6/2.5Gt [50% chance of <1.5°C]); 12% from the construction and operation of newbuilds and 101% from the existing stock. Housing expansion also potentially conflicts with England’s biodiversity targets. However, meeting greater housing need without rapid housing expansion is theoretically possible. We review solutions including improving affordability by reducing demand for homes as financial assets, expanding social housing, and reducing underutilisation of floor-space. Transitioning to housing strategies which slow housing expansion and accelerate low-carbon retrofits would achieve lower emissions, but face an unfavourable political economy and structural economic barriers.
Statistical learning models of early phonetic acquisition struggle with child-centered audio data
Authors: Lavechin Marvin , de Seyssel Maureen , Métais Marianne , Metz Florian , Mohame Abdelrahman , Bredin Hervé , Dupoux Emmanuel , Cristia Alejandrina
Published: March 2022

Infants learn their native language(s) at an amazing speed. Before they even talk, their perception adapts to the language(s) they hear. However, the mechanisms responsible for this perceptual attunement still remain unclear. A long tradition in linguistics points to the importance of specialized language mechanisms that would allow us to quickly and effortlessly learn from the language(s) we are exposed to. However, the currently dominant explanation for perceptual attunement posits that infants apply a domain-general learning mechanism consisting in learning statistical regularities from the speech stream they hear, and which may be found in learning across domains and across species. Critically, the feasibility of employing purely domain-general statistical learning mechanisms has only been demonstrated with computational models on unrealistic and simplified input. This paper presents the first attempt to study perceptual attunement with 2,000 hours of ecological child-centered recordings in American English and Metropolitan French. We show that, when applied on ecologically-valid data, generic learning mechanisms develop a language-relevant perceptual space but fail to show evidence for perceptual attunement. It is only when supplemented with domain-specific audio filtering and augmentation mechanisms that computational models show a significant attunement to the language they have been exposed to. Hence, we conclude that, when learning from ecological audio, domain-specific mechanisms may be necessary to guide early language learning in the wild even if the learning itself is done through generic mechanisms. We anticipate our work to be a starting point for ecologically-valid computational models of perceptual attunement in other domains and species.
Does deliberation decrease belief in conspiracies?
Authors: Bago Bence , Rand David Gertler , Pennycook Gordon
Published: March 2022

What are the underlying cognitive mechanisms that support belief in conspiracies? Common dual-process perspectives suggest that deliberation helps people make more accurate decisions and decreases belief in conspiracy theories that have been proven wrong (therefore, bringing people closer to objective accuracy). However, evidence for this stance is i) mostly correlational and ii) existing causal evidence might be influenced by experimental demand effects and/or a lack of suitable control conditions. Furthermore, recent work has found that analytic thinking tends to increase the coherence between prior beliefs and new information, which may not always lead to accurate conclusions. In two studies (Study 1: N = 1028; Study 2: N = 1000), participants were asked to evaluate the strength of conspiracist (or non-conspiracist) explanations of events. In the first study, which used well-known conspiracy theories, deliberation had no effect. In the second study, which used relatively unknown conspiracy theories, we found that experimentally manipulating deliberation did increase belief accuracy - but only among people with a strong ‘anti-conspiracy’ or strong ‘pro-conspiracy’ mindset from the outset, and not among those with an intermediate conspiracist mindset. Although these results generally support the idea that encouraging people to deliberate can help to counter the growth of novel conspiracy theories, they also indicate that the effect of deliberation on conspiracist beliefs is more complicated than previously thought.
Great Minds Do Not Think Alike: Philosophers’ Views Predicted by Reflection, Education, Personality, And Other Demographic Differences
Authors: Byrd Nick
Published: March 2022

Prior research found correlations between reflection test performance and philosophical tendencies among laypeople. In two large studies (total N = 1299)—one pre-registered—many of these correlations were replicated in a sample that included both laypeople and philosophers. For example, reflection test performance predicted preferring atheism over theism and instrumental harm over harm avoidance on the trolley problem. However, most reflection-philosophy correlations were undetected when controlling for other factors such as numeracy, preferences for open-minded thinking, personality, philosophical training, age, and gender. Nonetheless, some correlations between reflection and philosophical views survived this multivariate analysis and were only partially confounded with either education or self-reported reasoning preferences. Unreflective thinking still predicted believing in God whereas reflective thinking still predicted believing that (a) proper names like ‘Santa’ do not necessarily refer to entities that actually exist and (b) science does reveal the fundamental nature of the world. So some robust relationships between reflection and philosophical tendencies were detected even among philosophers, and yet there was clearly more to the link between reflection and philosophy. To this end, demographic and metaphilosophical hypotheses are considered.

Published: March 2022

The customer is the main factor in the running of PT. XYZ. A good understanding of customers is very important for predicting the capability of customers to pay. The implementation of credit collectibility is used to determine the quality of customer credit, one of which is the customer's capability to pay interest and principal on time. While manually, it is very difficult to accurately predict the capability of customer credit payments. Data mining techniques with the Naïve Bayes algorithm were chosen to classify customers to be able to find patterns, analyze and predict, because they have good performance, are efficient, and simple. The Naïve Bayes algorithm has a weakness in terms of sensitivity to many attributes, so the accuracy is low. Based on the problem stated, his study will apply the Information Gain method to select the most influential attribute on the label in order to increase the accuracy of the Naïve Bayes algorithm. This research produces a new dataset with seven attributes: TENOR, SALARY, DOWN PAYMENT, INSTALLMENT, APPROVAL, OTR CLASS, AGE with Labels: Status and Id: Id number based on the Information Gain method. The dataset comparison process with 995 data records showed an increase in accuracy, precision, and AUC using the new dataset compared to the old dataset, but in the t-Test test with an alpha value = 0.05 there is a difference but not significant. In the evaluation process, performance experienced a significant increase in the use of new datasets with the following percentages of performance improvement: accuracy = 8%, precision = 18.42%, recall = 17.65% and AUC= 0.057%. The results of this study obtained AUC of 0.876, accuracy of 87.88%, precision of 61.90%, and recall of 76.47%, and classified into good classification.

Authors: Ghofur Muhamad , Wan Sen Tjong
Published: March 2022

This problem addresses the problem of low-resolution image (noisy) that will proof later by PSNR number. The best way to improve this low-resolution problem is by utilizing Super Resolution (SR) algorithm methodology. SR algorithm methodology refers to the process of obtaining higher-resolution images from several lower-resolution ones, that is resolution enhancement. The quality improvement is caused by fractional-pixel displacements between images. SR allows overcoming the limitations of the imaging system (resolving limit of the sensors) without the need for additional hardware. This research aims to find the best SR algorithm in form of stand-alone algorithm or combine algorithm by comparing with the latest SR algorithm (Camera SR) from the previous research made by Chang Chen et al in 2019. Furthermore, we confidence this research will become the future guideline for anyone who want to improve the limitation of their low-resolution camera or vision sensor by implementing those SR algorithms.

“Meu país em mim”: discursos sobre imigração por orientação sexual na mídia brasileira
Authors: Theodoro Hadriel
Published: March 2022

O Brasil é considerado um dos países mais violentos do mundo contra pessoas lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis, transexuais e transgêneras. Ao mesmo tempo, aceita como motivo válido para a concessão de refúgio discriminações baseadas na identidade de gênero e/ou orientação sexual do/a solicitante. Diante desta conjuntura paradoxal, o objetivo do presente artigo é averiguar como a mídia busca representar as relações socioculturais que entremeiam as vivências de um refugiado homossexual em nosso país. Para tanto, a investigação se volta a uma matéria jornalística publicada em 2016 no portal de notícias G1, mantido pela Rede Globo. Emprega-se como metodologia reflexões teóricas acerca dos estudos migratórios, da comunicação e da linguagem junto a uma análise do discurso da referida reportagem. Os resultados apontam, de modo sintético, à construção de um discurso que reproduz estereótipos de religião, nacionalidade, gênero e sexualidade.

Therefore, in this study, a sliding mode controller is proposed and tested on the inverted pendulum system. According to the results of the simulation experiments with a sine signal as a reference, the proposed controller can stabilize the system well and has so fast response. Moreover, we have tuned the parameters of the proposed sliding mode controller in order to eliminate the chattering effect, the overshoot, and the steadystate error.

Published: March 2022

Using an index fund is a popular strategy that is designed to simulate the behavior of a market index and obtain the excess return that is more stable than other mutual funds. In setting up an index fund, investors must first choose a small number of stocks and then assign a weight to each selected stock. However, with traditional methods, investors hardly determine how well the designed index fund can mimic the market index. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the improvement of index fund performance by using a multi-objective optimization algorithm that can assign weights automatically.

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an important mediator of tumor initiation and progression. The MMP-9 promoter -1562C/T functional polymorphism increases gene expression and was identified as a susceptibility factor for various cancers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the MMP-9 promoter genotype on the risk of developing papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and to correlate cancer patient genotype with the clinical and pathological phenotype. METHODS: We evaluated 236 patients with nodular thyroid disease pre-thyroidectomy (119 benign disease, 117 PTC). Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood and the MMP-9 -1562C/T genotype was evaluated by PCR-RFLP analysis. RESULTS: Genotype frequencies were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for all groups. The T allele was significantly more frequent in cancer compared to benign disease (17.5% vs 10.1%), p= 0.019. Patients with the CT or CT+TT genotype had an increased risk of developing PTC, specifically micropapillary thyroid carcinoma (MPTC) (CT genotype: OR = 6.467, p= 0.00006; CT+TT: OR = 6.859, p= 0.00002), but not more advanced stages (CT: p= 0.094; CT+TT: p= 0.157). The -1562C/T genotype did not significantly correlate with tumor histological subtype, invasion or TNM stage. CONCLUSION: The MMP-9 -1562C/T functional polymorphism may indicate susceptibility to develop thyroid cancer, specifically intrathyroidal clinically non-relevant MPTC. This suggests that although this genotype might be a predisposing factor, other genetic/epigenetic events are needed for cancer progression.

BACKGROUND: Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), also known as osteopontin (OPN), is a multifunctional protein expressed in diverse normal tissues, and functionally is involved in cellular matrix and signaling processes. Many studies have linked SPP1 to pathophysiological conditions including cancer. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the 3’UTR length of SPP1 gene in glioblastoma cell line. METHODS: 3’ Rapid Amplification of cDNA End (3’-RACE) was used to determine the 3’ end of SPP1 gene. APAatlas data base, GEPIA web server, and miRcode were also used to extract related information and bioinformatic analysis part. RESULTS: In this study we show that SPP1 gene undergoes Alternative cleavage and Polyadenylation (APA) mechanism, by which it generates two 3’ termini, longer isoform and shorter isoform, in glioblastoma derived cell line, U87-MG. Further bioinformatic analysis reveals that SPP1 alternative 3’UTR (aUTR), which is absent in shorter isoform, is targeted by two families of microRNAs-miR-181abcd/4262 and miR-154/872. These miRNAs also target and perhaps negatively regulate NAP1L1 and ENAH genes that are involved in cell proliferation and cell polarity, respectively. Relative expression difference (RED), obtained from RNA-seq data of diverse normal tissues, representing APA usage appears to be negatively correlated with expression of NAP1L1 and ENAH, emphasizing co-expression of SPP1 longer isoform with these two genes, indicating miRNA sponge function of aUTR (longer 3’UTR). Bioinformatic analysis also shows that in normal brain tissue longer APA isoform of SPP1 is expressed; however shorter isoform appears to be expressed in cancer condition. CONCLUSION: Together, this study reveals that SPP1 APA isoforms have different pattern in normal and cancerous conditions, which can be considered as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in cancers.

BACKGROUND: Long non-coding RNAs have drawn increasing research interest in cancer biology. This study aims to investigate the function roles and the underlying mechanism of HnRNPU-AS1 in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of HnRNPU-AS1, miR-556-3p, miR-580-3p in HCC tissues and cell lines. Western blot was used to determine protein levels of LC3-II, LC3-I, Beclin-1, P62, and SOCS6. Functional assays including CCK8 assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, Transwell assay were performed to evaluate the role of HnRNPU-AS1 in regulating the malignant phenotype of HCC cells. Dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA pull-down experiment were used to examined the RNA-RNA interaction. RESULTS: HnRNPU-AS1 expression was decreased in HCC tissues and cell lines, which was associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. Overexpression of HnRNPU-AS1 could inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion but promote autophagy in HCC cells. Two miRNAs (miR-556-3p and miR-580-3p) were identified as potential targets of HnRNPU-AS1 in lncBASE database, which were significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Cell experiments demonstrated the effects of HnRNPU-AS1 overexpression could be attenuated by miR-556-3p or miR-580-3p overexpression. We further revealed that SOX6 was the downstream target of HnRNPU-AS1/miR-556-3p or miR-580-3p axis. Xenograft mouse model validated the tumor-suppressor role of HnRNPU-AS1 overexpression in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the tumor suppressor function of HnRNPU-AS1 in HCC and identified the downstream molecules underlying its tumor suppressor function. Our results suggest that HnRNPU-AS1 suppresses HCC by targeting miR-556-3p and miR-580-3p/SOXS6 axis.

Melanoma, a skin cancer derived from malignant melanocytes, is characterized by high aggressiveness and mortality. However, its exact etiology is unknown. Recently, the roles of exosomes and exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in the progression and therapy of various disorders, including melanoma, have gained attention. We investigated the impact of miR-138-5p from exosomes released by human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs) on the pathogenesis of melanoma. We isolated exosomes from HMSCs (HMSC-exos) by ultracentrifugation and verified them by specific biomarkers and transmission electron microscopy. We used CCK8, flow cytometry, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and Western blots to investigate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Additionally, we used luciferase assays to examine the relationship between miR-138-5p and SOX4. Administration of HMSC-exos dramatically repressed the growth of melanoma cells. Elevated miR-138-5p levels in HMSC-exos were linked to increased cell apoptosis, and miR-138-5p downregulation had the opposite effects on cells. SOX4 was targeted by miR-138-5p through direct binding to the SOX4 3’UTR. In melanoma tissues, miR-138-5p was downregulated, and SOX4 was upregulated and was negatively correlated. MiR-138-5p plays a crucial role in melanoma progression. The negative regulation of SOX4 transcription mediates the function of miR-138-5p. These findings provide a novel concept of melanoma pathogenesis and identify a valuable target (miR-138-5p/SOX4 axis) in treating this disease.
