Published: January 2023

Background: Aerobic exercise, either continuous or high intensity interval training (HIIT), induces important benefits in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Resistance training has been also shown to be beneficial in CHF. However, data regarding combined aerobic exercise and muscle strength training is still limited. The aim of this study was to investigate whether adding strength training to a HIIT protocol within a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program has a cumulative beneficial effect on the functional capacity (FC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with CHF. Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients [35 males, ejection fraction (EF) <50%] with CHF under medication enrolled in a 36-session CR program and were randomized in two exercise groups; HIIT (HIIT group) or HIIT combined with strength training (high intensity interval training combined with strength training (COM) group). All patients underwent baseline and endpoint outcome measures of a symptom-limited maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), 1 repetition maximum (1RM) test, muscular endurance test, echocardiography, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLWHFQ). Results: Most of the CPET indices, EF, 1RM test, muscular endurance and QoL were improved after the CR program in each exercise training group (p < 0.05). However, COM group demonstrated a further improvement in chest muscle testing and workload at anaerobic threshold (AT) compared to HIIT group. Conclusions: An exercise-based CR program, consisted of either HIIT or HIIT combined with strength training, improves FC and QoL of patients with CHF. However, the addition of strength training to HIIT seems to have further beneficial effects on chest muscle strength and endurance, as well as workload at AT. Clinical Trial Registration: The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov with number NCT02387411.

Published: January 2023

Background: Preexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension are each associated with poor prognosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Joint associations of preexisting CVD and hypertension have not been comprehensively evaluated in this population. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 3073 Chinese incident PD patients from five dialysis centres between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2018. The joint associations between preexisting CVD, hypertension, and mortality were analysed using Cox regression models. Results: Over a median of 33.7 months of follow-up, 581 (18.6%) patients died, with 286 (9.3%) deaths due to CVD. After adjusting for confounding factors, the preexisting CVD coexisting with hypertension, preexisting CVD, and hypertension groups had higher risks of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.06 to 5.15; HR: 2.21, 95% CI: 1.29 to 3.79; and HR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.47 to 2.29, respectively) and CVD mortality (HR: 4.68, 95% CI: 3.27 to 6.69; HR: 2.10, 95% CI: 0.95 to 4.62; and HR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.36 to 2.54, respectively) than the control group without preexisting CVD or hypertension (p for trend <0.001). There was no interaction between subgroup analyses (p > 0.05). The joint associations showed similar patterns using the Fine–Gray competing risk models. Conclusions: Preexisting CVD and hypertension at the start of PD were additive prognostic utilities for mortality, and preexisting CVD was more strongly associated with mortality than hypertension.

Denganperkataan lain, filsafat hukum adalah ilmu yang mempelajari hukum secarafilosofis. Jadi objek filsafat hukum adalah hukum, dan objek tersebut dikaji secaramendalam sampai kepada inti atau dasarnya, yang disebut hakikat.Dalam pemikiran filsafat hukum yang terus berkembang sepanjang zaman,menyebabkan keragaman pola dan ukuran nilai dan idelitas dalam hubungannyadengan normativitas dan faktisitas dari dalam dunia hukum, dan terutama apabiladihubungkan dengan naluri manusia untuk mencari jalan keluar dari kesulitan danpermasalahan dalam kehidupannya, akan melahirkan berbagai aliran dalamfilsafat hukum. Secara urut aliran-aliran hukum tersebut menunjukan sebuahdealegtika. Dialegtika tersebut muncul disamping karena unsur kedinamikaanmanusia juga karena hukum sendiri secara teoritis dapat ditinjau beberapakonsep/perspektif hukum, sehingga memunculka beragam pemikiran,karenamemang berbeda sudut pandangnya.
FILSAFAT HUKUM MENGAJARKAN KEADILAN HUKUM

Keadilan merupakan upaya untuk menemukan keseimbangan, persamaan, kebenaran serta memutuskan jika terdapat pelanggaran yang telah diatur secara formalitas. Hal tersebut merupakan keadilan yang bersifat prosedural. Dengan keadilan prosedural diharapkan keadilan substansial terwujud. tanpa adanya keadilan prosedural, maka keadilan substansial tidak terwujud. Dan juga tanpa keadilan substansial, maka keadilan prosedural tidak menyentuh realitas masyarakat. Keadilan merupakan konsep abstrak dalam membentuk cara pandang. Pada akhirnya Pemerintah dalam membuat kebijakan dituntut untuk menemukan konsep keadilan untuk kepentingan bersama, dan pengadilan dalam memutuskan dituntut untuk menemukan keadilan dalam penerapan hukum.Faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan keadilan sulit untuk ditegakkan di negara Indonesia ditinjau dari filsafat hermeneutik dan filsafat ilmu hukum adalah faktor yang bersifat fundamental, yakni: salahnya sistem pendidikan hukum yang melulu mengajarkan pola pikir yuridis-normatif (bahkan prosentase pengajarannya lebih dari 80% berkisar sistem dan filsafat hukum yang positivistik). Faktor lainnya adalah kurangnya pendidikan karakter bangsa Indonesia dan masih lemahnya pelaksanaan moral dalam penegakan hukum. Dan yang terakhir kurang didukungnya konsep hukum nondoktrinal oleh banyak.

Multi-step inference can be improved across the lifespan with individualized memory interventions
Authors: Noh Sharon Mina , Cooper Keiland W , Stark Craig , Bornstein Aaron
Published: January 2023

Memory and judgment are both affected by age-related cognitive decline. We test the hypothesis that these declines stem from a common mechanism. We adapted a latent learning task that measures one’s ability to learn and make judgments about associations among interconnected stimuli and evaluated performance across the lifespan. Younger adults generally showed evidence of successful latent learning and inference, and variability in judgment performance was explained by mnemonic discrimination ability. In a second experiment, we examined if performance can be improved for those with lower memory ability by separating overlapping object pairs across time, in an attempt to reduce memory interference during learning. We found that mnemonic discrimination ability interacted with training condition to improve judgment performance. This interaction was also captured using an artificial neural network simulation that varied training sequence and network capacity to predict judgment performance. These findings suggest that age-related declines in complex judgments can be improved via targeted training interventions.
We Are Wanderers: Abstract geometry reflects spatial navigation
Authors: Lin Yi , Dillon Moira Rose
Published: January 2023

Philosophers throughout history have debated the relations between the abstract geometry of formal mathematics and the physical geometry of the natural world. We provide evidence that abstract geometry reflects the geometry humans and non-human animals use for spatial navigation. Across two preregistered experiments, educated adults watched short videos of two points and two line segments forming an open figure on an otherwise blank screen. These simple visuals were described with sparse and minimally different language, creating different spatial contexts. After watching each video, participants were asked to click: anywhere (anywhere condition); to complete the triangle (triangle condition); where the next corner of an object would be (object condition); where the next stop on an agent’s path would be (navigation condition); or where the next point on an abstract plane would be (abstract condition). Across spatial contexts, participants produced responses that reflected strikingly different sets of geometric representations; in particular, preserving distance and direction for open paths in the navigation condition but preserving length and angle for closed shapes in the object condition. In the navigation and abstract contexts, however, the elicited geometry was remarkably similar. Human language may thus effectively isolate phylogenetically ancient geometric representations used for navigating the physical world and recognizing the objects in it. Moreover, the cognitive origins of uniquely human abstract geometry may lie in representations used for navigating the physical world.
中学数学の関数領域における縦断的認知診断モデルの適用

認知診断モデル（Cognitive Diagnosis Model, CDM）は，個人の学習上の強みや弱みの推定が可能であり，テストの有効活用に資するテストモデルである。CDM研究では，CDMを活用して学習者にフィードバックを行った実践的な研究の不足が指摘できる。本研究では，中学数学の関数領域において3時点に渡り，テスト開発からフィードバックまでCDMを包括的に実践し，CDMを用いた教育改善について実証的な知見を蓄積することを目的とした。テスト開発の段階では文献調査と専門家等との協議を行い，3個のアトリビュートと14個の問題項目を作成した。テスト1には中学生62名が参加し，HO-DINA（higher order DINA）モデルに基づく分析ではJAGSによるベイズ推定を使用した。分析後にはフィードバックコンテンツを配布した。分析結果から，定義されたアトリビュートと実際に測定されたアトリビュートの間の乖離を考察した。テスト2には中学生48名，テスト3には中学生42名が参加し，縦断的HO-DINAモデルに基づく分析後にフィードバックを配布した。テスト3の分析結果から，大きな学習向上の効果は認められなかった。本研究の現実的なCDMの利用状況において，CDMの分析結果は各種パラメタや受験者層などあらゆる分析設定に敏感であり，実際に測定されるアトリビュート内容を意図通りに構成することの困難さが示唆された。参加者数や項目数が少ない状況におけるCDM実践の困難への対応として，教育機関内でのデータやノウハウの蓄積，実践研究を通した質の高い問題項目プールの構築を展望した。学習向上の効果が認められなかった一方で，CDM適用から得た情報は有用なフィードバックに寄与すると考えられた。フィードバックコンテンツの配布に終始せず，他の教育実践との併用の必要性を確認した。
Taking Note of Our Biases: How the Language Patterns in Office Discipline Referrals Reveal Disparities in Exclusionary Discipline
Authors: Markowitz David Matthew , Kittelman Angus , Girvan Erik , Santiago-Rosario Maria , McIntosh Kent
Published: January 2023

The comments teachers write when sending students to the office have the potential to increase our understanding of how bias may contribute to longstanding racial disparities in school discipline. However, large-scale analysis of open text has traditionally had a prohibitive cost. Through natural language processing techniques, we examined over 3.5 million office discipline records from a national sample of over 4,000 schools for whether teachers’ linguistic patterns differed when describing incidents depending on the race/ethnicity and gender of the students. Results of such analyses consistently showed that teachers wrote longer descriptions and included more negative emotion when disciplining Black compared to White students, especially for Black girls. In conjunction with psychology of language theory, the patterns suggest that teachers may perceive and process student behavior differently depending on student identities. Implications of the findings and potential for research on naturally occurring language data in education are discussed.

Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte and Platelet‐to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Children with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Incecik Faruk
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory condition that affects the central nervous system. MS in children often manifests with a relapsing-remitting disease course. Recently, blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have proposed as a potentially useful markers of clinical outcome in autoimmune/inflamatory diseases. The aim of this study was to clarify the association of NLR and PLR in children with MS. Materials and Methods: Ten patients with MS and 11 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. NLR and PLR were calculated using complete blood count data. Results: The serum NLR and PLR level in relaps period with MS patients were significantly higher than those of remission period with MS patients and controls (P < 0.001). Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first study which investigated the role of NLR and PLR as inflammatory biomarkers in patients with MS. Our results demonstrate that NLR and PLR levels are higher in patients with relaps period compared with controls and remission period. NLR and PLR, a simple and easily obtainable parameters, can be used to identify relaps period in MS.

Effect of herding behavior and overconfidence bias on investor’s financial decisions: A case of investment in crypto currency in Pakistan
Authors: Hasnain Muhammad Najmul , Subhan Qazi
Published: January 2023

There are various behavioral aspects that influence the financial decisions of individual investors, such as overconfidence, herding behavior, loss aversion, and regret aversion. Other psychological elements may play a substantial influence in deciding the success or failure of any financial action. The primary aims of the present research article are to examine the effects of overconfidence bias and herding behavior on individual financial decisions regarding crypto currency investment. The markets for crypto currencies are extremely sensitive to any minute or significant changes in the economy, as well as to any changes in the individual behaviors of investors.  To achieve these aims, 650 questionnaires were distributed to individual investors employed by various financial institutions, multinational corporations, including oil and gas exploration and production companies, operating in Pakistan, individual investors dealing in stocks, and students regardless of investment size. Purposive sampling was used to choose 311 valid responses from a total of 593. Those investors that engage in crypto currency investments were deemed valid responses. Classifications of investments were outlined, and demographic information was requested from respondents. SPSS-based empirical analysis provided the basis for the conclusions. The primary findings indicate that both overconfidence bias and herding tendency have a favorable and statistically significant impact on investors' financial decisions when investing in cryptocurrencies. In this study's sample, however, the majority of investors were overconfident in their crypto currency investing decisions.

Synthesis and Applications of Single-Chain Atomic Crystal, LiMo3Se3
Authors: Chae Sudong
Published: January 2023

Among the currently available low-dimensional nanomaterials, single-chain atomic crystals (SCAC) exhibit unique physical and chemical properties because of their one-dimensional atomic structure. SCAC is the isolated molecular chain unit from bulk 1D chained materials, in which weak van der Waals or ionic interactions stack together SCACs with strong intra-chain bonding. They have one-dimensional fibrous morphology and sub-nanometer scale diameter similar to conventional organic polymers. Furthermore, unlike conventional organic polymers that consist only of organic elements such as C, H, N, O, and S, SCACs are composed of inorganic elements, such as transition metal, chalcogen, and halogen. Therefore, SCACs have novel additional properties, such as electrical, optical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties that conventional organic polymers do not.To investigate the properties of isolated SCAC, the preparation of bulk single crystal with high crystallinity, and strategy for exfoliation are required. In this review, the studies on synthesis, exfoliation and applications of the representative SCAC, LiMo3Se3 are described. These results demonstrate that solution processed SCACs are promising building block for future application.
On the stability of results for aggregation procedures
Authors:   HSE University, Moscow, Russia, Karabekyan D. S.
Published: January 2023

Some distortions are possible in the process of preference aggregation. For example, one voter who is pivotal for some preference profile may not read instructions properly and accidently submit wrong preference. We study how different voting rules react to these distortions for three, four and five alternatives with computer modelling. One of the results is: contrary to the results for the degree of manipulability estimations the most stable rule is the rule that requires less information from preferences when calculating final results — threshold rule. With more alternatives the difference between this rule and rules that require information about the whole ranking is more visible. So, for the rules that require less information the probability to influence the results goes down when the number of alternatives increases. Another result: the resoluteness (weighted average number of alternatives in the final outcome) is positively correlated with the stability of aggregation procedures. Threshold rule is the best one for the most cases when we consider both stability and resoluteness.
FORMATION OF STRATEGIC COMPETENCES OF STUDENTS IN GERMAN AS A SECOND FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Kiyko Svitlana , Kudriavtseva Olena
Published: January 2023

The article examines characteristic features of teaching strategic competence as a way to reduce the number of communicative failures. Strategic competence is one of the components of communicative competence and is defined as a set of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies that serve to compensate for gaps in communication. It involves planning further speech actions, including the ability to self-correct.
The object of the study is the process of teaching foreign language strategic competence to students of primary courses. The subject of the research is the content, means, methods of forming communicative strategies of word use. The purpose of the study is to identify and select the most appropriate strategies of word use for educational purposes, as well as to develop a method of organizing the teaching of strategic competence in the initial courses of language faculties. The realization of this goal involves solving the following tasks: to determine the place and role of strategic competence in the structure of communication and to describe different approaches to its consideration; to analyze the peculiarities of the formation of foreign language strategic competence among elementary school students studying German as a second foreign language; to conduct experimental training in order to determine the dependence of the quantity and quality of communicative strategies on the organization of training; to develop a method of forming communicative strategies of word use and to reveal its effectiveness.
Different types of communicative strategies are divided into reductive strategies (avoidance of the topic, avoidance of conveying the intended content), achievement strategies (compensatory strategies, switching to another code, verbatim retelling, replacement, paraphrase, explanation in other words, word creation, restructuring, direct or indirect question about help) and correction strategies (waiting, using the semantic field).
After analyzing of the use dynamics of strategies by the students of the control and experimental groups, we found that the number of positive achievement strategies began to increase as students learned to use strategies. At the same time, the number of used reductive strategies decreased and reached minimum values in the last classes. The total number of used strategies first began to increase, then slightly decreased and stabilized at an average level (26.8 units), while the use of reductive strategies significantly decreased to minimum values, which is the result of teaching students the methodology of strategic competence and their application of strategies in practice when answering in lessons.

The effectiveness of chemical, fungal and bacterial fungicide treatments of spring soft wheat seeds and stands against major diseases was compared on leached chernozem of Novosibirsk region in 2021. Biological preparations including Sternifag, WP (Trichoderma harzianum) showed effect as early as in the tillering phase. The biologicals’ effectiveness in root rot suppression was comparable to Scarlet, ME (imazalil+tebuconazole) and amounted to 62–64 %, while Sternifag, WP halved the disease development. By the end of the growing season, all treatments, including the chemical one, equally suppressed root rot development; the best option was Scarlet, ME + Vitaplan, WP (Bacillus subtilis) with biological efficiency of 38 %. In the case of severe pressure by Septoria blotch (33 % in control), the most effective treatment was spraying the crop on the earing stage with Titul 390, KKR (propiconazole), which reduced the incidence of Septoria blotch by 84.3 %, while biologicals had no effect. The powdery mildew was best suppressed by seed treatment with Scarlet, ME (73.9 %), and the brown rust was best suppressed by Scarlet, ME + Vitaplan, WP (78.8 %). The vegetation treatments inhibited the powdery mildew by 41–54 % but didn’t show a reliable effect against the brown rust. Seed treatment with microbial fungicides increased soil cellulolytic activity by 1.5–1.8 times while chemical disinfectant reduced it. The amount of plant residues decreased by 2.5–2.8 times due to the application of Sternifag, WP. The greatest increase in grain yield was obtained due to chemical fungicides - 0.64 t/ha, while biological preparations resulted in additional 0.25–0.33 t/ha.
Alienation, Values and the Destruction of the Subject
Authors: Abisheva Aliya
Published: January 2023

The article concerns issues of destruction with respect to a subject in alienation conditions. Alienation is considered a definite way of being, chosen by a human, which violates a human’s ontological freedom, thereby leading to a decline in his subjectivity. An alienated consciousness generates the invertedness of subject-object relations, leading to a bifurcation of the personality and to the loss of an individual’s subjectivity and inner freedom. Unlike viewpoints that believe the objective grounds of alienation represented in external forces, such as society, the state, etc., determine the internal world of a subject, I claim that: first of all, in his mind, a subject creates alienated values that are opposite to the concept of ontological freedom as a general foundation of humans, thus generating his self-estrangement and the irrational actions that can be expressions of the personal and impersonal mental conflict. The methods of philosophical reflection and logical analysis of psychoanalytic materials are applied. S. Freud’s notion of splitting ego is explained first by the mental character of alienation.
Determinants on Influx of Young People: Focused on the Depopulation Areas
Authors:   The Korean Association For Local Administration, Lim Taekyoung
Published: January 2023

The depopulation problem in South Korea is considered from the viewpoint of local government. Recently, ｢Special Act on Support for Depopulated Areas｣ has been enacted in South Korea. 89 small cities that are in danger of extinction due to population decrease have been designated as depopulation area for intensive support from the federal government. The purpose of this research was to find the answer on how depopulation area designated can be manage their funds to induce young people. In this regard, this study examines the relationship between variation in local-level spending and population influx in the age ranging between 20 and 39 with depopulation cities located within Daegu, Busan, Gyeongsangnam-do, Gyengsangbook-do. The statistically significant evidence indicates that cities that spent more Economic Development-related funds Social Welfare-related funds led to more population influx aged 20 to 39. Otherwise this research has shown that more expenditure in General Administration section did indeed decrease levels of influx of young adult population aged 20-30. This evidence suggests that how well the financial expenditure related to Economic Development funds and Social Welfare funds are implemented, the new young population aged 20-39 successfully will be entered within the cities experienced population decline. This finding can be very informative for local governments with depopulation of rural areas.

Published: January 2023

Tujuan dilakukan penelitian ini  adalah untuk menganalisis kepastian hukum agar dapat meminimalisir kemungkinan terjadinya kerugian akibat debitur yang tidak mampu melunasi hutangnya dan menciptakan keadilan yang berimbang, sehingga perlu adanya format klausula baku yang memuat hak dan kewajiban bagi kedua belah pihak baik itu kreditur maupun debitur tidak terkecuali pula memuat force majeur yang memang sangat penting dimuat dalam perjanjian kredit. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif , Penelitian ini bersifat penelitian preskriptif, yaitu suatu penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan saran-saran mengenai apa yang harus dilakukan untuk mengatasi masalah-masalah tertentu. Guna mempelajari tujuan hukum, validasi aturan hukum,konsep-konsep hukum dengan tujuan untuk mendapatkan jawaban dan kritisi serta solusi hukum atas permasalahan yang dikaji dalam penelitian hukum ini, yaitu suatu alasan untuk tidak memenuhi pelaksanaan kewajiban karena hilangnya/lenyapnya objek atau tujuan yang menjadi pokok perjanjian serta pertanggungjawaban atas rusaknya atau objek jaminan. Bank selaku Kreditur memiliki kedudukan istimewa dalam perjanjian jaminan Hak Tanggungan karena kedudukannya yang diutamakan dari kreditur-kreditur lainnya dan mempunyai hak mendahului dalam pelunasan hutang, kreditur ini disebut sebagai Kreditur Preference. Dalam sertifikat hak tanggungan sendiri memuat nilai jaminan hak tanggungan yang harusnya bisa digunakan untuk pelunasan utang debitur. Tentunya dalam klausula perjanjian kredit harus dimuat pula klausula upaya pencegahan, alternative penyelesaian masalah dan bentuk force majeur seperti apa saja yang pernah terjadi dan kemungkinan dapat terjadi dikemudian hari perlu dituangkan dalam klausula perjanjian kredit. Mengingat dalam undang undang hak tanggungan tidak mengatur secara khusus terkait force Majeur, hal ini bisa menyebabkan kerugian bagi kreditur maupun debitur sehingga perlindungan Hukum perlu tertuang dalam perjanjian untuk melindungi hak-hak dan kewajiban para pihak dalam perjanjian, agar hukum berimbang memberikan hak kepada debitur berupa hak melakukan pembelaan atas kejadian yang terjadi diluar kuasanya dan itikad baik
Managing the “Obscene M.D.”: Medical Publishing, the Medical Profession, and the Changing Definition of Obscenity in Mid-Victorian England
Authors: Bull Sarah
Published: January 2023

This article examines links between mid-Victorian opposition to com- merce in popular works on sexual health and the introduction of a legal test of obscenity, in the 1868 trial R. v. Hicklin, that opened the public distribution of any work that contained sexual information to prosecution. The article demonstrates how both campaigning medical journals’ crusades against “obscene quackery” and judicial and anti-vice groups who aimed to protect public morals responded to unruly trade in medical print by linking popular medical works with public cor- ruption. When this link was codified, it became a double-edged sword for medi- cal authorities. The Hicklin test provided these authorities with a blunt tool for disciplining professional medical behavior. However, it also radically narrowed the parameters through which even the most established practitioners could com- municate medical information without risking censure.

Nowdays, the necesity of the water go up on every sectors, so that it caused the water go down because of the management is not good enough. The purpose of this study is to know the kinds of the vegetation that found in the haze, that can be benefit to suport the water availibility and conservation, to know the potency of the vegetacy as the water availibility and conservation an also to know the society role to support it. This study is started from December 2020 until March 2021 placed in haze Banfanu village, North Central Timor regency. This study is used the qualitative and quantitave method. To collect the data and analysing the writer used an interview, observation and documentation. The determination estimasy data analysing is used point center quarter method (PCQM) to count point index value (PIV), the variety index shanon winner and averrage index. This study is made on twelve simpling with the vegetation data that is pick out from the tree, pilar and seedling. The result of this study is indicated that there are 28 species in the haze at the Banfanu village that consist of 16 families from 404 individu is devided in seedling, pilar and tree. The vegetation that could be benefit the water availibility and concervation is Switenia mahagoni, Casuarina junghuniana, Syzygum aqueum, Bambusa vulgaris, Ficus benjamina, Pandanus dubius Spreng, Paraserianthes falcataria (L) Nielsen, Anacardium occidentae L, Psidium Guajava L, Timonius sericeus (Deft) K. Schum, Syzygium cimunu L. The vegetation that indicate to keep up the water avalibility concervation is Bambusa vulgaris, the vicus kind is switenia mahogani, and iti is supported by the data analysis is higher index point value to tree strata is tectona grandis with IPV 74.50% and the lower IPV is Musa paradisiaca with IPV 1.80%. The higher point value for the pilar is Gliricidia sepium with IPV 92.13% and the lower is Vachellia leucophloea with IPV 2.99%, the high IPV for seedling is Tectona grandis with IPV 46.80% and the lower is switenia mahogani L and Sesbiana grandiflora with IPV 0.90%. The variety index value Shanon Winner and the averrage index categorize is lower. The vegetacy kind in the haze of Banfanu village categorize lower variety vegetacy, bad productivities, the condition is not rateable and lower pressure, but the ratebale index happend because of the domination on the kind certain species and in generally the kind of plant that growth up is limited. In other hand, the knowledge of the society is not enough to keep the water availibility and concervation and also the vegetacy is a polemic to the society.

Banyaknya penyakit pada tomat saat ini dapat membuat petani bingung dalam menentukan ataupun memilih jenis pengobatan yang sesuai dengan penyakit tomat tersebut. Ini yg membuat petani di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara susah mendaptakan hasil karena mereka tidak bisa melakukan konsultasi dengan pakar, sehingga tingkat produktifitas menurun. Sitem pakar berbasis web dapat digunakan untuk memecahkan masalah dalam hal membantu setiap petani dalam menangani hama dan penyakit. Metedo yang digunakan dalam mendiagnosis penyakit pada tanaman tomat adalah metode teorema bayes, dimana setiap alternatif yang disediakan akan diberikan nilai hipotesa untuk memperoleh hasil terbaik. Nilai hipotesa pada penyakit tomat berkisar antara 1 sampai 0.1 dimana untuk nilai hipotesa 1 merupakan nilai hipotesa yang menunjukan bahwa hasil dari nilai tersbut membuktikan tanaman tomat sangat spesifik terhadap penyakit dan hama sedangkan nilai hipotesa 0,1 menunjukan bahwa tidak adanya spesifik terhadap hama dan penyakit melainkan terdapat pada penyakit yang lain. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa sistem pakar yang dibangun diharapkan mampu membantu petani dalam mendiagnosis penyakit dan hama pada tanaman tomat sesuai dengan hasil perhitungan bayes yang di dapat.

Published: January 2023

Software defect prediction (SDP) plays an important role in improving software quality and reliability while reducing software maintenance cost. The problem in the field of SDP is how to determine the defective source code with high accuracy. To build more accurate predictor models, a lot of features are presented, e.g., static code features, social network features, and process features, etc. Several machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms have been developed and adopted to identify and remove defects from the source code, where previous studies have proved that DL algorithms are promising techniques for predicting software defects. The aim of this study is to investigate the prediction performance of two DL algorithms namely, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bidirectional Long short-term memory (BI-LSTM) in the domain of SDP. To establish the effectiveness of the proposed approach, the experiments were conducted on the available benchmark datasets which obtained from open-source java projects GitHub repository and the models were evaluated by applying seven evaluation metrics which are accuracy, precision, recall, f-measure, matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), area under the ROC curve (AUC), mean square error (MSE). We found out that the best accuracy obtained on training dataset is 81% by using CNN model, while the best accuracy obtained on validation dataset is 80% by using BI-LSTM model. The best AUC obtained on training dataset is 88% by using CNN model, while the best AUC obtained on validation dataset is 83% by using the both models. It is nearly impossible to rule which model is better than the other so every model can be analyzed separately and the best model according to the problem at hand can be used, therefore, based on the problem of this study, The evaluation results show the effectiveness of our proposed models based on standard performance evaluation criteria.
Build automation systems against CI lock-in : A comparative study of Dagger and Mage
Authors: Kiss Áron
Published: January 2023

Vendor lock-in is a well-known phenomenon in the software industry. Strongly relying on vendor-specific implementation may cause financial and technological hardships to manufacturers and can establish monopoly situation of a vendor. With the spread of cloud-based development tools, vendor lock-in is present not only during operation, but also during development. This article provides an overview of risk types introduced to projects by vendor lock-in situation. Key factors of vendor lock-in are also identified, especially with regard to modern cloud-based CI/CD services. Later, a test software architecture is demonstrated how to minimize CI lock-in, followed by a detailed comparison of two build automation systems that can be used in practice for this purpose. The applicability of build automation systems is demonstrated on the implementation and test results.
