Published: January 2024

Kejawen culture in Indonesia, especially in Javanese society, has a close relationship with Islam. These two beliefs run side by side, but in fact there are boundaries between the Kejawen culture and the Islamic religion. The purpose of this research is to find out how the Kejawen culture and the Islamic religion are, the difference between the two, and what are the boundaries in Islamic life. This study uses a literature review approach and qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive picture of the topic under study. Through a literature review, the authors can compile findings from various sources and provide in-depth argumentation of evaluations. The results of the study show that Islam and Kejawen culture are two different things but have always coexisted and have been inherent in Javanese society for a long time. In addition, Kejawen culture and Islamic religion have limitations in their application that can be known by the general public, namely the application of Islamic religious values by adapting local culture without eliminating Islamic principles.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Cheon Sooyoung , Lee Daekug , Joo Ah-Rim
Published: January 2024

With the recent development of science and technology, localization technology has made it possible to provide customized mobile services based on real-time location information to users through smartphones and Internet of Things devices. In particular, GPS-based real-time localization is commonly used. However, unlike outdoors, not only does the GPS reception rate decrease significantly indoors, but it is also difficult to accurately measure the user's indoor location using only GPS latitude and longitude information. In this study, we propose to measure the user's indoor location using RSSI (received signal strength indicator). For this purpose, an indoor localization study was conducted by applying machine learning classifiers, SVM, decision tree, ExtraTrees, random forest, and KNN to RSSI data. Among the machine learning classifiers, random forest exhibited the best performance. Therefore, we applied random forest-based RFE to extract features from RSSI data. We confirmed that even with a smaller amount of data, it was possible to achieve more accurate indoor positioning. In addition, it was confirmed through regression analysis that latitude and longitude can be estimated from RSSI data, so that indoor as well as outdoor locations can be estimated.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Jun-il , Jeon Saebom
Published: January 2024

Problems of intergenerational conflict and inequality are emerging not only in Korea but also around the world, and in particular, pessimism is spreading not only about inequality in results, but also inequality in the process and opportunities leading to results. This study investigates opportunity inequality in Korean society by analyzing the relationship between the income of the parents' generation and the children's generation, called as intergenerational income mobility, using the income quintile of parents and children of NHIS data. In addition to the parental effect, income mobility can also be influenced by children's characteristics and the regional characteristics of their living environment, so we aim to examine the extent to which these factors affect income mobility. The analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between parents' income levels and children's income levels, and that there are differences in mobility across regions. The analysis also shows that the effect of factors influencing children's income varies across regions. Finally, we found that when discussing inequality of opportunity and intergenerational income mobility in Korea, it is important to properly consider the characteristics of the data and the impact of relevant factors, such as the proposed measure of income mobility.
Changes in Automobile Insurance loss ratios during the COVID-19
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Sejoong
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the personal injury and property damage loss ratios of automobile insurance showed statistically different movements during the COVID-19 when traffic volume decreased and when it did not, and to speculate on the cause. As a result of a study applying the Difference in Difference model, It was found that during the period of COVID-19 when traffic volume decreased, the loss ratio of property damage decreased significantly, while the loss ratio of personal injury decreased less. This may be due to the expansion of over-treatment of automobile insurance due to the spread of telecommuting and decreased sales of self-employed people and medical institutions due to the strengthening of social distancing during the COVID-19. Meanwhile, when the same analysis was conducted by dividing personal injury into personal injury 1, which is mandatory insurance, and personal injury 2, which is voluntary insurance, personal injury 1 did not show a significant difference, but personal injury 2 loss ratio showed more significant results. These results are interpreted as supporting the possibility of changes in over-treatment behavior during the COVID-19

Glycated hemoglobin (p<0.001) and fasting glucose (p<0.001) significantly decreased in patients with AH and DM. A decrease in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL was observed, including in DM patients not taking statins (p<0.001). Overall, a decrease in waist circumference was observed across the group (p<0.005).

Conclusion. Azilsartan medoxomil in real clinical practice proved to be a highly effective antihypertensive drug in patients with AH and DM. The ability of the drug, including in combination with other drugs, to improve the metabolic profile, reduce the volume of adipose tissue makes it a priority drug of choice in patients with AH, obesity and type 2 DM.

O objetivo deste trabalho é determinar os efeitos do tipo de dopagem e da orientação do campo elétrico aplicado na mobilidade eletrônica do semicondutor SiC na fase 4H, conhecido como 4H-SiC. Este semicondutor tem se mostrado de grande interesse tecnológico, principalmente pela possibilidade de sua aplicação em condições extremas de operação, tais como: altas temperaturas, altas tensões, altas pressões, altos níveis de radiação eletromagnética. Para alcançar os objetivos deste trabalho foi utilizado um ensemble estatístico para sistemas fora do equilíbrio, conhecido como Método do Operador Estatístico de Não Equilíbrio. Este método tem sido aplicado com muito êxito em materiais semicondutores. Aqui neste trabalho foi obtido que a maior mobilidade ocorre quando o campo elétrico é aplicado perpendicularmente ao eixo cristalográfico c do semicondutor 4H-SiC. Vericou-se também que a dopagem mais eficiente é a dopagem tipo n.
Deep Dielectric Breakdown of Silicates: Microstructural Damage and Implications for Lunar Space Weathering

Solar energetic particle events electrically charge the lunar surface and may produce electric fields sufficient to induce dielectric breakdown in regolith grains. We irradiated series of silicate minerals with electrons to determine their physical and chemical response to deep dielectric charging and subsequent breakdown. Two electrical phenomena, flashovers and subsurface dielectric breakdown, produced damage including erosional and eruptive channels, surface pits, comminuted grains, and melt and vapor deposits. Iron abundances strongly affected the scale of damage and the minimum fluence required to reach dielectric breakdown; higher iron abundances required higher fluences to reach the breakdown threshold and produced more areally dense damage with each event. If dielectric breakdown is a prominent space-weathering process on the Moon, it should contribute to differential weathering signatures across the lunar surface as a function of target composition.

The ocean's significance encompasses crucial ecosystem services including climate regulation, oxygen production and food supply. The ocean is also a major player in the global economy. However, human activities continue to harm the ocean, jeopardising these vital functions. In July 2022, the United Nations Ocean Conference adopted a political declaration entitled "Our ocean, our future, our responsibility," emphasising the need for sustainable ocean management and protection. However, an important initial question arises: who are the “Our”? or, rephrased “Whose ocean” is it? This study presents first answers to this question, based on interviews with ocean professionals from diverse backgrounds. Their responses showcased the complexity of the issue, with differing opinions on ocean “ownership” and “control”. Despite the diversity of perspectives, a shared emphasis emerged: shifting from profit-driven decision-making to prioritising marine ecosystem health. Proposed approaches to build a sustainable relationship between people and the ocean include promoting ocean literacy and marine research and ensuring global accountability. These voices offered valuable insights towards ocean sustainability, guiding future academic, educational and policy-making efforts.
A political concept for the Gragnano Valley of Mills (Valle dei Mulini). Urban redevelopment of cultural-industrial heritage
Authors: Di Ruocco Irina
Published: January 2024

The scholarly community has been paying more attention to the issue of the revitalization of the historical conservation of cities and their alteration in the wake of Southern Italy's growing urbanization. Experts and scholars are beginning to understand the need for collaborative urban regeneration initiatives, protecting historical and cultural elements, upholding cultural identities, and establishing development districts. The Valley of the Mills of Gragnano, the subject of the proposed case study, is a complex issue that requires the consideration of several factors in addition to urban regeneration. These factors include the need to identify a system of multiple actions to regenerate the area, considering the current requirements for mitigating environmental risk in areas with cultural heritage, and suggesting monitoring and public participation actions for preservation. The complexity of the Valley of the Mills renovation is understood; it goes beyond the simple structural and architectural restoration of the buildings. In other cities similar to Gragnano where industrial, historical archeology and naturalistic significance run the risk of adversely affecting an extremely significant area from a historical and cultural perspective due to naturalistic and anthropogenic impacts, the article's goal is to present the case study of Gragnano as an example of a sustainable and moral urban renewal strategy. This research work aims to be proposed as a policy development guide for policy makers at local and regional levels for the development of the area.
Effect of the Presence of Pus Cells in Seminal Fluid Samples on Sperm Motility and Morphology in a Group of Males Attended Subfertility Clinics in Galle District, Sri Lanka

Background: The quality of seminal fluid is one of the main determinants of male fertility. The quality of seminal fluid is determined by several parameters such as volume, sperm concentration, percentage of normal morphology, motility, viability, progressivity, etc. The objective of the study was to assess the effects of the presence of pus cells in seminal fluid samples on normal morphology and motility.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 107 men who attended subfertility clinics in Galle district, Sri Lanka. Consecutive (convenience) sampling method was used. After obtaining the informed consent, semen samples were collected. Pus cell count, sperm motility and normal morphology were evaluated based on the WHO guidelines (2010). Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Review Committee, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Ruhuna.
Results: The majority of samples had pus cell count less than 5 per high power field (n=75, 70.1%). Only 32 (29.9%) had a pus cell count of 5 or above per high power field (/HPF). 32 samples (42.7%) out of 75 samples with pus cell count <5 (/HPF) had a percentage normal morphology of more than 30%, while only 3 samples (9.4%) with pus cell count ≥5 (/HPF) had a percentage normal morphology of more than 30%. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of normal morphology were 26.88% and 8.69% for samples with pus cell count <5 (/HPF) while 21.39% and 7.00% for samples with pus cell count ≥5 (/HPF). Z value was 3.124 and the level of significance was 0.05. Therefore, the finding was highly significant (p= 0.002). 32 samples (42.7%) out of 75 samples with pus cells <5 (/HPF)  had normal motility (≥50%). However, only 6 (19%) of 32 samples with pus cells ≥5 (/HPF) had normal motility (≥50%). The mean and standard deviation (SD) of normal motility were 46.32% and 11.30% for samples with pus cell count <5 (/HPF) while the mean and standard deviation (SD) of normal motility were 41.25% and 10.37% for samples with pus cell count ≥5 (/HPF). Z value was 3.124 and the level of significance was 0.05. Therefore the finding was highly significant (p = 0.032).
Conclusions: The obtained results demonstrated that the pus cell count can be a factor inversely associated with sperm morphology and motility.

The effect of different concentrations of Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) supplementation in fish feed on Clarias gariepinus fingerling growth characteristics was examined. Fish were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups: 0.0 percent (controls), 0.5 percent, 1.0 percent, and 3.0 percent concentrations of Chromolaena odorata in feed. Fish was fed at 5 percent body weight (g) per day for 70 days. Results showed that fish-fed the treatment diet had no significant effect on weight gain. The final body lengths (cm) of all treated groups were marginally (P > 0.05) different from the control group after 70 days. When the growth parameters were considered, the fish fed the diet containing 1.0 percent Chromolaena odorata had the best growth response (2.4±0.04g) while the fish fed the control diet had the slowest growth (1.2±0.13g). In comparison with the control fish fed the diet containing 1.0 percent Chromolaena odorata had the best feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), and condition factor (K) This study showed that the inclusion of Chromolaena odorata in fish food at 0.5 – 3.0 percent level did not significantly increase the weight and length of catfish.
