This study aims to determine the effect of striking force on the sound intensity  of the ketipung musical instrument made of paralon pipes with a length of 20 cm and a diameter of 114 mm on the resulting sound intensity. The research data was obtained using the experimental method. Different styles indicate different sound intensity levels, the higher the force applied, the higher the resulting sound intensity and vice versa, the lower the potential energy, the lower the sound intensity, following the equation y = 3.5341e0.7416x with y as a level function Sound intensity and x as the hitting force. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the relationship between the hitting force per unit area and the sound intensity  follows an exponential equation.
PENERAPAN PERSAMAAN LAGRANGE PADA SISTEM BANDUL GANDA YANG TERHUBUNG OLEH PEGAS
Authors: Dewi Nila Mutia
Published: December 2023

Lagrange mechanics is an analytical method in classical mechanics that does not consider forces acting on the system. It focuses instead on kinetic and potential energies as the core of the entire system. The primary goal of this study is to derive the equations of motion for the coupled pendulums connected by a spring system using Lagrange equation. Two identical pendulums, each positioned at the end of its respective lengths, were connected by a spring. Formulating the Lagrangian for this system enabled the derivation of the equation of motion through the Lagrange equation. These equations were graphically represented with predefined initial conditions. The results revealed a recurring pattern: as amplitude of the first pendulum increased, the amplitude of the second pendulum decreased and vice versa. This phenomenon occurs due to the exchange of energy between the two pendulums, where one loses energy while the other gains it.

Authors: Khasodi Mzwakhe Samuel , Mahlala Sandiso , Hofisi Costa
Published: December 2023

The Office of the Auditor-General in South Africa conducts audits of local government institutions, among other public-sector entities, to assess the current financial condition of municipalities and provide audit opinions for a certain fiscal year. Municipalities are obligated to maintain clean audits to avoid financial fines. However, the significance of clean audit outcomes lies in their ability to ensure successful service provision to the citizens. The Auditor-General's municipal audit findings reveal that several municipalities obtain clean audits, notwithstanding their inadequate performance in terms of service delivery. South Africa has a few municipalities that have successfully achieved desirable audit outcomes, with Midvaal Local Municipality being a notable example of consecutive clean audits. This study aims to evaluate whether the clean audit outcomes of Midvaal Local Municipality may serve as reliable indicators of effective service delivery within the municipality. The article utilizes a literature review and an online qualitative questionnaire survey with open-ended questions as approaches for collecting data. The article's findings highlight that the municipality has implemented effective management processes, also known as internal controls, which enable Midvaal to deliver services to its citizens in an effective and efficient manner. This management techniques may effectively determine the quality of service delivery within the municipality. They have a favorable impact on the municipality's financial viability, which directly results in clean audit conclusions.

Published: December 2023

Behavioral finance elucidates how investors rationally commit errors in the process of making investment decisions as a result of cognitive and emotional biases, ultimately resulting in unfavorable investment choices. People are unable to avoid a variety of behavioral biases that have an impact on investors' investment decision-making processes. The human mind employs shortcuts and emotional filters to interpret information, leading to errors in the decision-making process. The objective of this study is to investigate and assess the impact of behavioral biases such as disposition effects, herding, and overconfidence on investment decision-making. Additionally, we will examine how financial literacy moderates these biases. The research employed a purposive sample strategy to select generation Z investors in Kediri City. The sample size of 400 respondents was determined using the Krejcie & Morgan table. This research employs the Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis method using the SmartPLS version 3 data processing application. The research findings indicate that the disposition effect and overconfidence exert a substantial impact on investment decision-making; however, herding does not exhibit a significant influence on investment choice-making. Financial knowledge enhances the impact of the disposition effect on investment decision-making in a positive way. Financial literacy has a negative moderating effect on the influence of herding and overconfidence on investment decision-making among Generation Z investors in Kediri City.
The role of organizational culture dimension in business recovery: a post Covid-19 perspective in the hotel industry in Kenya
Authors: Matete Margadline Nalisi , Kilika James  M
Published: December 2023

The study investigated the role played by the dimensions of organizational culture in a strategic management process to help organizations in the hotel industry realize business recovery in a post-COVID-19 period. The conceptualization of the study relied on the strategic thinking lens preceding strategic management processes to situate the role of organizational culture in the strategic management processes undertaken at the strategy formulation phase. The element of organization's mission was argued to be the relevant practice for anchoring culture into the strategy formulation process. Four types of organizational culture were studied in business recovery. Three objectives guided the study focusing on the extent of the adoption of culture types, levels of business recovery attained and the effect of the level of adoption on the level of business recovery attained. A sample of 57 hotels was selected and 189 respondents were drawn from functional units in each of the hotels. The study reports that the level of adoption of the culture is at a high level while the extent of business recovery is at a moderate level of between 20-40% growth. Innovation culture does not have a significant statistical effect while market, customer orientation and adhocracy cultures have a significant statistical effect on the level of business recovery. The study concludes that the relevant cultures were responsible for aligning culture with the strategy formulation phase through the component of the mission of an organization and that the process needs to embrace combined attributes of the underpinning theories of RBV and the organizational culture theory. The study calls on future research to integrate more aspects of strategic thinking and consider using more objective sources of research data.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to accomplish three things: (1) to determine the manner in which child labor is exploited; (2) to identify the ecological elements (push and pull) that contribute to the exploitation of child labor; and (3) to determine the challenges that are associated with the management of child labor. It is possible for adults to exploit children through the use of child labor in a number of vocations, including those in the agricultural industry, the garment industry, manufacturing, mining, service industries, and the informal sector. Children's employment is influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as poverty, a dearth of educational possibilities, and a lack of awareness regarding the rights of children. The study discusses a number of elements that operate as pushes and pulles, as well as barriers, that could be encountered when attempting to address the problem of child labor.
Measuring the impact of ESG investing on the stock performance of JSE-listed financial service providers during the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Khwazi Magubane  , Boingotlo Wesi
Published: December 2023

The study's objective is to examine the impact of ESG investing on the stock performance of financial service providers in South Africa (SA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has significant ramifications for the usefulness of ESG investing during a crisis period. To this end, the study employs the panel nonlinear autoregressive distributed lags (PNARDL). The study finds that ESG investing had a significant impact on stock performance. The error term in the PNARDL reveals that the share price of financial service providers in SA was significantly affected by ESG investing. The PNARDL shows that, on average, a 1 percent increase in ESG investing increased stock price returns by 5 percent, cetiris paribus. This crucial finding has significant implications. It implies that ESG was another significant resilience factor behind the stock performance of financial service providers. Moreover, the PNARDL found that reducing ESG investing negatively affected stock price returns, while increasing ESG investing positively affected stock price returns during COVID-19. Hence, the study recommends that financial service providers increase ESG investing during a crisis period.

Investigation of optimum tuned mass damper parameter according to stroke capacity
Authors: Kayabekir Aylin Ece
Published: December 2023

During major earthquakes, civil structures may collapse due to vibration that has a frequency close to the frequency content of the structure. Because of this, control systems have also been proposed for building structures. These systems can be active ones that are controlled by electronic devices or passive ones that are tuned mechanical systems. Passive tuned mass dampers (TMDs) include mass, stiffness element and damping element and these are tuned around the frequency of the structure. For optimum tuning and the complex nature of the mathematics under random vibrations, metaheuristic algorithms are needed to be used. In the presented study, TMDs are optimized via Jaya algorithm. The control system was optimized for displacement minimization of the structure. Additionally, the stroke amount of the system was limited. The stroke capacity factor was investigated for wide limits between 0.5 and 4 for normalized stroke according to the maximum displacement of the structure. The investigation was done for a single degree of freedom structure for a general conclusion. It is observed that the stroke limit did not affect performance and optimum parameters after 2.75. The small values of the stroke limit have significantly different optimum period. <w:LsdException Locked

Two-Level Game Analysis on US Decision to Withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
Authors: Mahendra Yusril Ihza , Safira Radina , Muhidin Sitti Navisah
Published: December 2023

Abstract

This study analyzes the reasons behind the U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in 2017. Using descriptive methods and Two-level Game theory as an analytical tool supported by secondary data, we found some domestic factors driving this policy. First, different preferences existed between the government as the “chief negotiator” and interest groups and public opinion representing domestic interests. Two-level game theory explains that international agreement can only be ratified if the win-set negotiations are in overlapping conditions or where international and domestic preferences find a meeting point. However, no common ground between international and domestic preferences resulted in a deadlock. Second, the U.S. public strongly resisted the agreement. Public opinion and hearings are factors that, to some extent, can become obstacles for national governments in international negotiations. Ratification is not only carried out through a formal process (legislative approval) but also through an informal process (public opinion and approval). In addition, the election of Donald Trump, who carried protectionist values with his “America First” slogan, strengthened the position of the opposing groups and those who embraced protectionist values. Therefore, the election of Trump as the president marked the end of the TPP debate because both the executive as the “chief negotiator” and the dominant domestic group rejected the ratification.

In our latest studies with the help of the self-similar Ansatz we derived new type of 1

solutions for the regular diffusion equation which are much more complex than the well-known 2

Gaussian and error functions. These solutions contain additional Kummer’s M and Kummer’s U 3

functions with quadratic argument. In the present treaties we perform an analogous analysis for the 4

regular diffusion equation which has a complex diffusion coefficient. Formally, it is equivalent to 5

the free Schrödinger equation however it is far from being trivial how the solutions can be given 6

quantum mechanical interpretation. We investigate both the one dimensional Cartesian and the 7

spherical symmetric equations. We find solutions which fulfill the L2 integrability criteria therefore 8

This paper is a follow-up to a previous study that was conducted in a research forest and identified the optimal method for Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) estimation as a circular scanning and fitting ellipses to 4cm stem cross-sections at breast height. The aim of this study was to determine whether the identified method is applicable to natural boreal forests as well. The iPad Pro LiDAR scanner was used to acquire point clouds for 15 sites representing a range of natural boreal forest conditions in Ontario, Canada, and estimate DBH. The secondary objective was to determine if tested stand (Species composition, age, density, understory) or tree (Species, DBH) factors affected the accuracy of estimated DBH. Overall, estimated DBH values were within 1cm of actual DBH values for 78 of 133 measured trees (59%). An RMSE of 1.5cm (8.6%) was achieved. Stand age had a large effect (>0.15) on the accuracy of estimated DBH values, while density, understory, and DBH had moderate effects (0.05-0.14). No trend was identified between accuracy and stand age. Accuracy improved as understory density decreased and as tree DBH increased. Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and positional accuracy errors with the iPad Pro scanner limit the feasibility of using this device for forest inventories.

Biocides used in antifouling (AF) paints, such as 4,5-dichlorine-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazole-3-one (DCOIT), can gradually leach into the environment. Some AF compounds can persist in the marine environment and cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. Nanoengineered materials, such as mesoporous silica nanocapsules (SiNC) containing AF compounds, have been developed to control their release rate and reduce their toxicity to aquatic organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of new nanoengineered materials, SiNC-DCOIT and a silver-coated form (SiNC-DCOIT-Ag), as well as the free form of DCOIT and empty nanocapsules (SiNC), on the sun coral Tubastraea coccinea. T. coccinea is an invasive species and can be an alternative test organism for evaluating the risks to native species, as most native corals are currently threatened. The colonies were collected from the Alcatrazes Archipelago, SP, Brazil, and acclimatized to laboratory conditions. They were exposed for 96h to different concentrations of the tested substances: 3.33, 10, 33, and 100 µg L-1 of free DCOIT; 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 µg L-1 of SiNC; and 74.1, 222.2, 666.7, and 2000 µg L-1 of SiNC-DCOIT and SiNC-DCOIT-Ag. The test chambers consisted of 500 mL flasks containing the test solutions, and the tests were maintained under constant aeration, constant temperature of 23 ± 2°C, and photoperiod of 12h:12h (light/dark). At the end of the experiments, no lethal effect was observed; however, some sublethal effects were noticeable, such as the exposure of the skeleton in most of the concentrations and replicates, except for the controls, and embrittlement at higher concentrations. Adults of T. coccinea were considered little sensitive to the tested substances. This resistance may indicate a greater capacity for proliferation of the species, which is favored in substrates containing antifouling paints, to the detriment of the native species.

Poplar (Populus) is a genus of woody plants of value for the pulp industry, green energy, urban landscaping, soil phytoremediation and as an ornamental plant. Due to the increasing economic importance of poplar, there is a need to ensure its stable growth by increasing its resistance to pathogens, as one of the main problems in poplar cultivation is its susceptibility to numerous diseases. Currently, breeding poplars with reduced susceptibility to infections is receiving increasing attention. Genetic engineering can produce organisms with improved traits faster than traditional methods, and with the development of CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing systems, scientists have a new highly efficient tool at their disposal to create valuable genotypes. In this review, we summarize recent research data on poplar diseases, the biology of their pathogens, and how these plants resist pathogens. In the final section, we discuss genetic engineering, genome editing, and microbiome strategies that we believe are suitable for obtaining new improved poplar lines.

Sorghum has become increasingly popular for diverse applications, including food, feed, and bioenergy. The present study aimed to perform a bibliometric and content analysis on sorghum research in the industrial-agricultural sector to evaluate global research patterns, emerging topics, and future trends. The bibliometric analysis of the Scopus bibliographic metadata was done using Bibliometrix and Vosviewer. The results of this investigation show the descriptive analysis underscored fluctuation in research output and citation impact over the years. The identified four patterns through co-occurrence analysis encompassed central themes of sorghum research, including genetic expression and plant stress cluster, cereal crop and yield cluster, biomass and microbial bioprocessing, and metabolism and antioxidant cluster. The thematic map portrays a comprehensive view of cereal crops and yields, biomass and microbial bioprocessing, metabolism and antioxidant research, environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture practices, and the declining theme of starch. The findings provide valuable insights into the global pattern of sorghum research and emerging trends, thus directing future multidisciplinary research efforts for enhanced knowledge and sustainable practices in the industrial-agricultural sector.
