Design-to-Order Unified Information Space Network-Centric Model and Architecture in the Complex Technical Products
Authors: Drozd O.V.
Published: July 2023

The paper considers general problems of information systems interoperability, approaches to its analysis and support. Basic requirements for ensuring the technical systems interoperability are provided. Approaches are analyzed to formation of the information interaction models in accordance with the level of conceptual interoperability model and the reference interoperability model. The concept of smart work-place is introduced in relation to the Design-to-order information support, objective and tasks of the smart workplace operation are formulated. Generalized network-centric architecture of the Design-to-order unified information space is presented, which provides information support in implementation of the design and production chain. The proposed unified information space architecture includes mechanisms of automatic generation and adaptation of the design data basic and domain-specific models taking into account the constantly altering application conditions. In general, the proposed network-centric architecture of the Design-to-order unified information space ensures uninterrupted information interaction from the customer to separate workplaces and target processes of the product life cycle. Using these adaptive ontological models appears more preferable than introduction of the static interoperability profile, which development could be hampered by complex nature of the integrated technical product being manufactured
Simulation of the aircraft landing gear legs with the plastically deformable shock absorbers
Authors: Sumerin A.A. , Shcheglov G.A.
Published: July 2023

The paper considers possibility of using a new depreciation scheme in regard to the wheeled three-column landing gear leg of the aerospace light aircraft based on using the three-section one-time crash box, which could be replaced during the inter-flight maintenance. Normal and abnormal operation of the landing gear legs was numerically simulated in the LS-DYNA package of the ANSYS software. Energy absorbing characteristics of the crash boxes with various geometry and several landing gear leg schemes were analyzed in order to identify the design having most predictable and forecasted deformations, as well as the balanced energy absorbing characteristics. It is shown that using the crash boxes, similar in design to those used in the vehicle passive safety systems, could significantly reduce the landing gear system weight of an orbital aerospace vehicle, while maintaining the required energy absorbing characteristics of the landing gear. Gain in weight compared to the aircraft classic shock absorber being similar in landing weight to that presented in the work was of 18.4 kg, or by 12.5 times.

Oppression Experienced by Adunni in Abi Dare’s The Girl With Louding Voice
Authors: Ardiansyah Muhammad Yudi
Published: July 2023

Oppression often occurs in the community. It can be due to poverty or existing habits. One of the novels by Abi Dare entitled The Girl with Louding Voice is one of the novels that tells about the oppression received by the main character (Adunni). The novel is the main data source in this research. The aims are to find out what oppression Adunni is experiencing as the main character and to explain Adunni's struggles to get out of this oppression. The researcher uses a feminist critique approach with textual studies to analyze the data and apply Young’s oppression and Lerner's feminism theory. The oppression includes powerlessness, cultural imperialism, marginalization, violence, and exploitation. Adunni experienced all those things. It resulted in her having to stop her education, marry forcibly, get abused and defrauded and have many wounds all over her body. However, she never gave up because she had determination and big dreams. She believed that continuing her education to the highest level would free her from oppression. Therefore, she made several efforts, such as persuading her father, asking for help, studying and teaching, running away from home, giving resistance, avoiding certain people, refusing to get pregnant, and participating in the selection of a scholarship.

Published: July 2023

Inner conflict is a conflict experienced by all human beings. This research aims at how humans can resolve the inner conflicts that they experiences. The researcher analyzed the interactions and reactions of Frodo Baggins as he faced some inner conflict. The researcher used Kurt Lewin's theory and Johnson’s theory in analyzing the inner conflicts that Frodo experienced. The researcher used the psychological approach. Then, the researcher formulates two questions that arise to discuss them. (1) What forms of inner conflict did Frodo experience in J.R.R Tolkien’s novel entitled The Lord of The Ring: The Fellowship of The Ring? (2) How did Frodo resolve the inner conflict in J.R.R Tolkien’s novel entitled The Lord of The Ring: The Fellowship of The Ring? The results found in analyzing inner conflict used Kurt Lewin's theory, there are three types of inner conflict experienced by Frodo Baggins in the novel The Lord of The Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring. The researcher found three form of inner conflict, there are: (1) Approach-Approach Inner Conflict has 3 data 2) Avoidance-Avoidance Inner Conflict has 10 data 3) Approach-Avoidance Inner Conflict has 8 data. It can be concluded that the Avoidance-Avoidance Inner Conflict is the most frequently happened to Frodo Baggins. The second research question used the Johnson’s theory that Frodo Baggins resolves his inner conflict in the novel The Lord of The Ring: The Fellowship of the Ring. The researcher found 5 styles to resolve inner conflict: (1) Turtle style has 1 data, (2) Shark style has 2 data, (3) Mouse deer style has 5 data, (4) Fox style has 2 data, and (5) Owl style has 2 data.

Impoliteness Strategies and Power Used by European in This Earth of Mankind
Authors: Apriliana Candra
Published: July 2023

This Earth of Mankind is a novel written by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. From the story in this novel, the researcher is interested in investigating the types, functions, and purposes of impoliteness strategies and power used by European characters in This Earth of Mankind novel. This research used the descriptive qualitative research method because the data in this research are in the form of qualitative data in the form of conversation and then analyzed in the form of descriptive. The data used in this study are conversations between Europeans and Indigenous people that contain the elements of impoliteness and power contained in the novel. There are four theories used in this research. The first theory belongs to Culpeper (1996) to identify types of impoliteness. The second theory belongs to Culpeper (2011) to identify impoliteness functions. Furthermore, Beebe's (1950) and Bousfield's (2008) theories are used to understand the purpose of using power through impolite language. The first result, of this research, shows that European characters in the novel use all kinds of impoliteness according to Culpeper (1996). The types of impoliteness used are (1) direct impoliteness (Bald on record impoliteness), (2) positive impoliteness, (3) negative impoliteness, (4) sarcasm or mock politeness, and (5) withhold politeness. From the 40 data there are negative impoliteness as the most frequently used number with a total of 17 conversations. The second result of this research, according to Culpeper's theory (2011) found two impolite functions, namely affective function with a total of 22 conversations and coercive with a total of 11 conversations. The entertaining function was not found because this function usually occurs in the world of entertainment such as talk shows that use impoliteness through jokes.

The Last Frontier: Prisons and Violent Extremism in Mali
Authors: van der Heide Liesbeth , Coleman Julie
Published: July 2023

As the number of violent extremist attacks in the Sahel has expanded rapidly in recent years, the number of Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs) in prison has grown in parallel at an alarming pace. This policy brief focuses on VEOs held in prisons in Mali, using primary data gathered during semi-structured interviews with VEOs conducted between 2016 and 2019. The brief provides a profile of the VEOs, including their backgrounds and, crucially, their reasons for engagement with terrorist groups. It also provides an overview of the prison structure, in order to illustrate the system for managing the VEO population, and identifies gaps or opportunities for improvement, particularly in relation to managing risk and implementing rehabilitation interventions. Finally, this brief provides recommendations for additional efforts needed to ensure that both Malian and international policymakers are able to tailor their responses to the growing issue of VEOs in a manner that will ensure that prisons become places that contribute to successful (eventual) reintegration of inmates, rather than places that exacerbate the problem of extremism and radicalisation.
The Future of the Islamic State's Women: Assessing Their Potential Threat
Authors: Davis Jessica
Published: July 2023

All former Islamic State members pose a unique threat or lack thereof based on their individual circumstances, but female members of the Islamic State seem to generate a particularly polarized response. Practitioners need to integrate gender analysis into their assessment of individual members of the Islamic State in order to understand the potential threat that these men and women pose and mitigate that threat effectively. To do so, practitioners need to understand the wide variety of roles that women have played in the Islamic State, how conflating women in the oft-used “women and children” of the Islamic State has in downplaying the agency of women, and how gendered media reporting can introduce bias into counter-terrorism practitioner’s assessment of the threat. This article will explore each of these issues and present an approach to assessing the potential threat posed by women in the Islamic state.

Re-Calibrating Counter-Terrorism in Afghanistan to Preserve Long-Term Justice and Accountability
Authors: Manion Megan L.
Published: July 2023

This policy brief focuses on the continued primacy of the counter-terrorism lens for state multilateral responses to the political situation in Afghanistan and the connected implications for long-term justice and accountability. Its analysis highlights the continuum of practices and agendas that offer solutions and processes that not only respond to and prevent the conditions conducive to violence (including terrorism) prevention, but also preserve long-term justice and accountability. The brief demonstrates how the legacy of and continued misalignment of counter-terrorism and international-centric security priorities, paired with lack of investment in long-term justice and accountability, human rights and inclusion, may threaten the effectiveness of policies that could otherwise contribute to improvements in Afghanistan. While this brief focuses on the role of counter-terrorism experts and practitioners in multi-lateral spaces, much of the analysis and recommendations are applicable to those bilateral and regional efforts in Afghanistan.

Authors: Rizkiana Meta Fitri , Putri Ditta Kharisma Yolanda , Hardiatama Intan
Published: July 2023

Economic instability due to the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced the lives of Indonesian people, especially in the household sector. Household consumption, as the central pillar of the economy, decelerated significantly and affected the performance of the industry and small businesses—a group of food stall merchants located on Jl. Java around the University of Jember undergoes the same situation. The decline in people's purchasing power, the implementation of health protocols, online learning, and the reduction in people's income have significantly impacted food sales and changed consumption patterns. Fish farming using the Budikdamber system, which combines fish farming and hydroponic water spinach, can be a solution to support the economy during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Budikdamber (fish cultivation in a bucket) cultivates fish and vegetables in one bucket. This community service using a fish and vegetable cultivation integrated system can improve the community's economy and maintain food security during a pandemic. The community service method is coaching and training with the aim that the sustainability of the Budikdamber System can be achieved and improve the community's economy. The service activities carried out were responded well by the community, as seen from their enthusiasm and active role in making Budikdamber planting media and containers.

A Review of Indonesian Nationality Law
Authors: Prameswari Zendy Wulan Ayu Widhi , Agustin Erni , Felicia Stefania Arshanty
Published: July 2023

Stateless people are often denied access to the same rights and services as citizens. Furthermore, statelessness is often the result of discrimination against women, an issue that SDGs aim to address. This paper analyses how the Indonesian Nationality Law protects children at risk of statelessness. It also raises some legal challenges when applying the law with regards to the country's SDG achievements. Discussion of the nationality law in Indonesia is not new, but scrutinising it in connection to Indonesia's achievement of SDGs has yet to be carried out by other authors. This paper is legal research using statute and conceptual approaches. The study shows that by reforming its nationality law, the Indonesian Government has allowed women to confer their nationality on their children equally with men. However, some challenges related to the implementation of this new law and its regulations still have the potential to cause issues of discrimination and statelessness for Indonesian children, which relates strongly to the issues addressed by SDGs. Additionally, this paper will be useful for the development of constitutional law, especially human rights and nationality laws in Indonesia.

Criminal Justice Responses to Trafficking in Persons
Authors: Huong Ngo Thi Minh , Vu Giao Cong
Published: July 2023

Human trafficking is a domestic and transnational crime that poses complex law enforcement challenges to all nations. Vietnam is particularly affected due to rapid growth in labour migration and international tourism. The presumption of law makers is that by improving the criminal justice response to trafficking in persons (TIP), its incidence within the country and beyond its borders will decrease. Inherent in this premise is the assumption that strong legal sanctions deter would-be traffickers. This paper describes Vietnam’s criminal justice responses to human trafficking with reference to the legal framework and institutions. Barriers and challenges in implementing the ASEAN Convention on Trafficking in Persons (ACTIP), and the underlying reasons why the current response is inadequate in addressing TIP are identified with a focus on issues associated with victims and trials. The paper argues that Vietnam needs to increase efforts to meet its obligations and standards as set out in the United Nation’s Recommended Principles and Guideline on Human Rights and Human Trafficking and ACTIP. In particular, prosecution of traffickers and the protection of victims need to be prioritised.

The Undefeated Defeat
Authors: Yunita Fenny Tria , Prasetyo Hery , Rosa Dien Vidia
Published: July 2023

This study critically examines the existence of indigenous peoples within the framework of promoting cultural rights in Indonesia. The main reason for this study is that the Indonesian Law on Advancement of Culture enacted in 2017 did not explicitly include indigenous peoples as a crucial aspect of preserving cultural activities. Consequently, there has been no significant policy reform from the Indonesian government to maintain the rights and existence of indigenous peoples, primarily their cultural rights. From a human rights perspective, culture shapes indigenous peoples' collective identity and political force, hence Indonesia is responsible for protecting and fulfilling their collective rights. Based on the discourse analysis, this study examines two questions: First, to what extent does the recognition of indigenous peoples in the Law on the Promotion of Culture ensure the promotion of the cultural rights of indigenous people? Secondly, what government policies are directed to fulfill indigenous peoples' rights? The finding of this study is that the partial recognition of cultural rights for indigenous peoples affected the undisputable conflicts surrounding sacred rites, which affected the promotion of the collective identity of indigenous people.

As a visual generalization, a drawing of the conceptual model is given. This model can be used to develop the reading range of younger schoolchildren.
Foreign language reading competence development via hypertexts
Authors: Dolzhenkova Marina I. , Medvedev Nikolay V. , Hausmann-Ushkova Nadezhda V.
Published: July 2023

Importance. Nowadays most interactions with texts take place on the Internet. Because of this, it is required to implement the properties of hypertextuality for education materials creation in order to develop relevant reading skills. The purpose of the study is to integrate hypertextuality into the process of forming reading competence.
Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of the reading organization theories was used to identify a universal list of strategies. The synthesis of empirical data obtained as a result of studying the functional properties of hypertexts contributed to determining the specifics of this educational material in the context of foreign language teaching methods.
Results and Discussion. The composition of the foreign language reading competence was determined and studied. It consists of three components: motivational, cognitive and practical. The components define the requirements for the properties of the text, among which is a structural diversity used to provoke the implementation of various reading strategies required to perform communicative tasks. S.K. Folomkina’s classification was used as a universal typology of reading types. It was found that interaction with hypertext is more of a research strategy which combines skimming with the other three types of reading.
Conclusion. The proposed model of interaction with hypertext, divided into four stages, makes it possible to effectively implement all components of a foreign language reading competence: motivational due to the interactivity of hypertext, predisposing to the autonomy of research; cognitive due to the authenticity and potential infinity of educational materials presented by hypertext; practical due to the creation of conditions for the integrated use of all types of reading.
“Kirsanov movement” of the Austro-Hungarian army Italian nationality prisoners of war during the World War I
Authors: Shevyakov Sergey V.
Published: July 2023

Importance. From 1915 to 1917, a camp for Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war of Italian nationality functioned in Kirsanov in Tambov Governorate, who accepted the offer of the Italian government to send them to Italy and then join the ranks of its armed forces. In the period preceding the dispatch, a group of prisoners of war who shared irredentist ideas organized a number of patriotic events in the camp with the aim of national cohesion of future volunteers. Their activity was called the “Kirsanov movement”, which is insufficiently covered in modern historiography.
Materials and methods. The main sources for the research were archival materials, as well as a number of published researches. The historical and genetic method was used, which allowed tracing the origins and evolution of the Italian national movement (irredentism) in the territories belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Results and Discussion. It is shown that the goal achievement of prisoners of war national cohesion was hampered both by the social and economic conditioned worldview and pre-war mutual perception stereotypes by natives of Habsburg monarchy’s various territories with the Italian population, and by the former loyalty preservation of some prisoners of war to the Habsburg Empire, fueled by possible repressions of the Austrian authorities in relation to themselves and their relatives.
Conclusion. In waiting for sent to Italy, a group of patriotic prisoners of war in the Kirsanov camp organized a number of events, which was called the “Kirsanov movement”. Its purpose was to involve politically wounded prisoners of war in patriotic activities.
Composition- and temperature-dependence of β to ω phase transformation in Ti-Nb alloys
Authors: Su Yunting , Liang Chuanxin , Wang Dong
Published: July 2023

ω phases have shown great effects on the superelasticity and modulus of metastable β-Ti alloys. In this study, the microstructure evolution during cooling and aging for β → ω phase transformation is investigated by integrating a thermodynamic database with phase field simulations. Our CALPHAD calculations based on an available thermodynamic database give the Gibbs energies of metastable β (Nb-lean β1 + Nb-rich β2 produced via spinodal decomposition) and ω phases in Ti-Nb. Informed by the results, our phase field simulations show that the formation mechanisms of ω exhibit dependence on the composition and temperature. The ω can form in Ti-26 at.% Nb without the assistance of spinodal decomposition. Further analysis shows that the precursory spinodal decomposition in the β phase occurs in Ti-50 at.% Nb, and could induce geometrically confined ω. The novel transformation pathway could create unique morphology of ω. This study could elucidate new insights into the ω phase transformation in Ti-Nb alloys and metastable β-Ti alloys having spinodal decomposition.

The study assessed passengers’ satisfaction with the services of the Lagos Shuttle Train Services in Lagos, Nigeria. Two types of train, the Mass Transit Train (MTT) and the Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU), were covered. Using multistage sampling, 246 passengers were surveyed. It was found that the DMU passengers had higher socioeconomic profiles; the overall condition of the DMU was also better. Further analyses reveal that passengers’ satisfaction differed for the train types: the MTT passengers were more particular about the operational environment, while the DMU passengers were concerned with both physical characteristics and the operational environment. Generally, passengers were satisfied with accessibility, coverage, fare, safety at station and onboard, security at station, and security of luggage; however, the Lagos Shuttle Train Services was found wanting on several key indicators. Recommendations are proffered towards enhancing the service quality of the Lagos Shuttle Train Services.
SELECTED POLYNOMIAL IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES TO EVALUATE MARITIME TRANSPORT TRENDS AROUND COVID-19
Authors: BORUCKA Anna , KOZŁOWSKI Edward
Published: July 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically affected the transport sector, because of the restrictions introduced to limit the spread of the threat. They concerned primarily passenger traffic, but trade in goods also faced completely new challenges, related to increased consumption and the dynamic development of e-commerce on the one hand and restrictions related to the pandemic and sealing borders on the other. One of the most susceptible to fluctuations in international trade is the maritime economy, which has been analysed in this article. It was checked how the global threat affected sea traffic in terms of gross weight of goods handled in main ports. The aim of the study was to characterize the impact of the pandemic on sea transport depending on the type of ship and to evaluate the current state of sea transport in the context of the level shaped by forecasts based on observations from before the coronavirus pandemic. The authors' assumption was to check whether the rail transport market has already reached the level it could reach in the absence of the virus threat. The use of a polynomial function was proposed for the study. Time series containing observations up to the outbreak of the pandemic and forecasts based on them, as well as time series containing additional observations from the pandemic period were analysed. The study results obtained allowed to conclude how the global crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic affected the cargo traffic in the sea transport, expressed by the mass of goods transshipped in major ports, depending on the individual types of ships.
ENGINE FLEXIBILITY FOR SI ENGINES FUELED BY LIQUID GAS WITH DIMETHYL ETHER BLEND
Authors: FABIŚ Paweł
Published: July 2023

The aim of the study is to present the changes in the vehicle dynamics that occur in connection with the use of various fuels that power the engine. The article presents the effect of gaseous fuels being mixtures of LPG and BioDME on the flexibility of the vehicle. In previous studies, not much attention has been paid to the problem of changing the performance of the vehicle with the use of various fuels supplying the engine. It is a new approach that allows to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using alternative fuels, including mixtures using BioDME. The study was conducted for a four-cylinder SI engine with a displacement of 1.6 dm3, installed in a passenger vehicle. The mixture of LPG and DME was assessed, and the results compared to the parameters obtained for the LPG-powered engine. Received results have been made it possible to determine changes in the value of the engine flexibility for selected engine loads and various DME shares in the mixture. The thesis that DME can be considered as an activator of the combustion process and may have an impact on the vehicle dynamics is confirmed.

Published: July 2023

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of implementing a demand responsive transport system in the Košice and Prešov regions of East Slovakia. This was achieved through a willingness-to-pay survey conducted in six villages in the target regions. Two separate models were constructed based on the survey results to estimate the residents’ willingness to pay for trips to the nearest major city or the regional capital. The study revealed that the average willingness to pay for trips to the nearest LAU 1 (NUTS 4) administrative center was €0.86 per kilometer, while for trips to NUTS 3 administrative centers, it was €0.38 per kilometer. These findings suggest that demand responsive transport may be more suitable for shorter local journeys than for longer journeys. The study also identified several variables that affect the willingness to pay, such as the frequency and quality of the existing bus transit system and the use of other modes of transport. Additionally, this study highlights the potential benefit of demand responsive transport for residents with mobility impairments or those who travel alone.
Amplification of Enantiomeric Excess without Any Chiral Source in Prebiotic Case

A general method is presented that permits enantiomers, originally present in a low enantiomeric excess (%ee1), to accumulate in a high %ee (%ee2) without a chiral source present. An equation was derived that demonstrates the final %ee2 of any unreacted chiral starting material will become higher when that starting material has reacted to generate an additional chiral center, hence forming two sets of diastereomeric enantiomeric products. Importantly, chiral amplification factor (multiples), %ee2/%ee1, depends on the yield of this reaction (p), which exhibits a nonlinear increase in amplification as p approaches 100%. This process is inevitable. It represents a possible route by which small initial %ee1 values of prebiotic molecules could have been raised to high %ee2 contents during the pre-evolution of life period on Earth, without the need for an added chiral source to be present. This predicted behavior was then experimentally verified in Pictet-Spengler reactions of L-tryptophane methyl ester (L-TME) samples present in low enantiomeric excess (%ee1) with biacetyl or oxaldehyde (model reactions) run to various yields. Each reaction generates stereoisomer products, and chiral amplification of the L-TME’s initial %ee1 values to higher %ee2 values occurs in the unreacted (recovered) L-TME. Repeated cycles of these reactions create very high L-TME %ee values. Self-cyclodimerization of low %ee1 L-amino acids with their D-enantiomers to generate L,L-, D,D- and L,D-cyclic products were computationally studied, leading to the same conclusion. Small %ee1 values are enhanced to larger %ee2 in the unreacted starting materials.
Immune Resilience to SARS-CoV-2 Infection by Shifting Risk Within Normal and Disease Populations
Authors: Clancy Robert Llewellyn
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT: The idea of a Common Mucosal Immune system (CMS) is 50 years old. Its relevance to immune protection at mucosal sites and its potential to modulate the impact of vaccination-induced protection against infection of the airway, has been poorly understood. The consequent failure of current SARS-CoV-2 vaccination to satisfy expectations with respect to prevention of infection, viral transmission, duration of protection and pattern of clinical protection, led to public health and medical decisions now under review. This review summarises knowledge of the CMS in man, including the powerful role it plays in immune protection and lessons with respect to what can and can not be achieved by systemic and mucosal vaccination for prevention of airway infection. The powerful impact in both health and disease of optimising delivery of immune protection using selected isolates from the respiratory microbiome, is demonstrated through review of randomised controlled trials (RCT’s) in subjects with chronic airway disease, and in otherwise healthy individuals with risk factors, in whom the idea of mucosal immune resilience is introduced.

This study aims to examine the factors that influence financial records in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in East Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This research is quantitative with a survey method. The population of this study was 3061 SMEs, with a sample size of 342, using a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed using linear regression. The results showed that a good understanding of accounting and perceptions of the benefits of accounting had an effect on MSME financial records, while herding behavior had no effect on MSME financial records. This research has implications for MSME actors to further strengthen relations between fellow business actors so that they can exchange experiences about the businesses they run and make good and correct financial records.
Identification of Career Choice for Vocational High School Students: A Review
Authors: Kurnia Kurnia , Hakim Dadang Lukman
Published: July 2023

Career uncertainty and unpreparedness of Vocational High School students in the face of the world of work are often associated with career choice factors (career choice). This causes many students who are not confident in choosing available job opportunities and some even choose not to work or become unemployed. This study aims to identify the factors that influence students' career decisions. This study applied the systematic literature review methodology to articles published in foreign journals. The researchers applied predetermined search parameters to locate ten pertinent articles published between 2019 and 2021. The study concluded that it is essential to recognize the factors that influence career decisions. It is crucial to assist students in concentrating more on the job search process and obtaining their desired positions. Employability, as determined by personal traits such as a proactive personality, self-reported education, personal preferences, performance expectations, days worked, industry experience, and years of study, was the most significant factor, followed by social status and prior work experience. This research also has educational and professional applications. Advisors who develop the personal potential of graduates can assist students and job seekers in adopting and exploring career strategies.

For students to have the tools to manage their finances, they have to be taught about financial literacy from an early age wisely. The purpose of this research is to help senior high school students improve financial literacy through interactive media SIKU (Sikapi Uangmu). This research used a Quasi-experimental group experimental design with a Nonequivalent control group type. Samples were taken using total sampling techniques in 2 different classes. Class X IIS 2 was the experimental group, and Class X IIS 3 was the control group. The research data was taken using test instruments. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using a t-paired test. The results showed that the use of SIKU interactive media for senior high school students was able to increase student's financial literacy. Paired t-test testing which produces a significance of 0.000, t=-12.43, explains the increase in financial literacy of learning using SIKU. These results show that SIKU interactive media can be applied in the learning process in schools, and effectively contribute to improving students' financial literacy.

Published: July 2023

Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of digital mind-mapping in improving student learning outcomes, creativity, critical thinking skills, and motivation. However, past studies rarely focused on student engagement when exploring the implementation of collaborative digital mind mapping in higher education. This study explored student engagement in a digital mind-mapping-supported collaborative classroom. The study was qualitative descriptive in nature, involving twenty fourth-semester students from a private university in Indonesia. The data were collected through observation and interview. The findings showed that students engaged cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally in the collaborative mind-mapping activity. The findings mostly describe student-student and student-task engagement. Therefore, further investigations are needed to examine student-teacher engagement in a mind-mapping-supported collaborative learning setting.
A general-purpose multiplatform GPU-accelerated ray tracing API

Published: July 2023

Real-time ray tracing is an important tool in computational research. Among other things, it is used to model sensors for autonomous vehicle simulation, efficiently simulate radiative energy propagation, and create effective data visualizations. However, raytracing libraries currently offered for GPU platforms have a high level of complexity to facilitate the detailed configuration needed by gaming engines and high-fidelity renderers. A researcher wishing to take advantage of the performance gains offered by the GPU for simple ray casting routines would need to learn how to use these ray tracing libraries. Additionally, they would have to adapt this code to each GPU platform they run on. Therefore, a C++ API has been developed that exposes simple ray casting endpoints that are implemented in GPU-specific code for several contemporary device platforms. This API currently supports the NVIDIA OptiX ray tracing library, Vulkan, AMD Radeon Rays, and even Intel Embree. Benchmarking tests using this API provide insight to help users determine the optimal backend library to select for their ray tracing needs. HPC research will be well-served by the ability to perform general purpose raytracing on the increasing amount of graphics and machine learning nodes offered by the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program.
