Fe-based potassium Prussian blue analogues (K-PBAs) are traditionally used as K-ion battery cathodes. Interestingly, K-PBAs are appealing cathodes for Na-ion batteries (NIBs), due to the increased cation intercalation voltage compared to Na-PBAs. In such a hybrid NIB cell, where Na+ is in the electrolyte and K+ is in the PBA cathode, cation intercalation and electrochemical performance of the cathode can be significantly affected by [Fe(CN)6]4- anion vacancy. This work studies the effect of [Fe(CN)6]4- anion vacancy in K-PBAs on regulating K+/Na+ intercalation mechanism in hybrid NIB cells, by comparing two K-PBA cathodes with different vacancy contents. Experimental and computational results demonstrate that introducing a level of anion vacancy can maximize the number of K+ intercalation sites and enhance K+ diffusion in the PBA framework. This facilitates K+ intercalation and suppresses Na+ intercalation, resulting in a K+-dominated and high-discharge-voltage ion storage process in the hybrid NIB cell. The K-PBA cathode with 20% anion vacancy delivers 127 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and 63 mAh g-1 at 500 mA g-1, as well as retains 87% and 77% capacity after 100 and 300 cycles, respectively. It completely outperforms the counterpart with 7% anion vacancy, which exhibits increased Na+ intercalation but overall deteriorated ion storage. Our results show the promise of hybrid battery systems and the crucial role of vacancy regulation in designing electrode materials for these systems.

We introduce the Open Force Field (OpenFF) 2.0.0 small molecule force field for drug-like molecules, code-named Sage, which builds upon our previous iteration, Parsley. OpenFF force fields are based on direct chemical perception, which generalizes easily to highly diverse sets of chemistries based on substructure queries. Like the previous OpenFF iterations, the Sage generation of OpenFF force fields was validated in protein-ligand simulations to be compatible with AMBER biopolymer force fields. In this paper we detail the methodology used to develop this force field, as well as the innovations and improvements introduced since the release of Parsley 1.0.0. One particularly significant feature of Sage is a set of improved Lennard-Jones (LJ) parameters retrained against condensed phase mixture data, the first refit of LJ parameters in the OpenFF small molecule force field line. Sage also includes valence parameters refit to a larger database of quantum chemical calculations than previous versions, as well as improvements in how this fitting is performed. Force field benchmarks show improvements in general metrics of performance against quantum chemistry reference data such as root mean square deviations (RMSD) of optimized conformer geometries, torsion fingerprint deviations (TFD), and improved relative conformer energetics (ΔΔ𝐸). We present a variety of benchmarks for these metrics against our previous force fields as well as in some cases other small molecule biomolecular force fields. Sage also demonstrates improved performance in estimating physical properties, including comparison against experimental data from various thermodynamic databases for small molecule properties such as Δ𝐻_𝑚𝑖𝑥, ρ(𝑥), Δ𝐺_𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑣 and Δ𝐺_𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠. Additionally, we benchmarked against protein-ligand binding free energies (Δ𝐺_𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑑), where Sage yields results statistically similar to previous force fields. All the data is made publicly available along with complete details on how to reproduce the training results at https://github.com/openforcefield/openff-sage.

Published: January 2023

The chemistry of aptamers is largely limited to natural nucleotides, and although modifications of nucleic acids can enhance target aptamer affinity, there has not been a technology for selecting the right modifications in the right locations because enzymatic amplification does not transmit sequence-specific modification information. Here we show the first method for the selection of specific nucleoside modifications that increase aptamer binding efficacy, using the oncoprotein EGFR as a model target. Using fluorescent-activated bead sorting (FABS), we have successfully selected optimized aptamers from a library of >65,000 variations. Hits were identified by tandem mass spectrometry and validated by using an EGFR binding assay and computational docking studies. Our results provide proof of concept for this novel strategy for the selection of chemically optimised aptamers and offer a new method for rapidly synthesising and screening large aptamer libraries to accelerate diagnostic and drug discovery.
The Role of Distributed Generation on The Performance of Electrical Radial Distribution Network
Authors: Amewornu E. M. , Essilfie J. E.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This article provides available information on the role of distributed generation (DG) in the performance of a power distribution network.  

Design/methodology/approach: The study reviewed articles about available methods for reducing technical losses in electrical distribution networks. The second step involved studying various researchers' views on renewable energy in some developing countries for introducing DG into a distribution network. The influence of DG on the economic performance of a distribution network. Finally, the study scouted for available information on the implementation of a demand response (DR) program on the performance of a distribution network in the presence of DG.

Findings: Available information reveals that the reliability of DG for reducing the technical losses in a distribution network is higher than relying on alternating current controllers. There are indications of renewable energies in developing countries for introducing DG into a distribution network. According to the articles reviewed, the approach for the optimal location of DG did not include the combination of the voltage stability index and power loss reduction index. It is also worth considering using the power system analysis toolbox (PSAT) for DG sitting. The economic influence of DG on a distribution network's performance has not been evaluated based on the technical loss, generation cost, emission cost and reliability. It is also worth considering the benefits of demand response programs in the presence of DG.

Research limitation: The review concentrated mainly on DG's influence in reducing technical loss. Articles relating to the effect of DG on other distribution network technical issues such as voltage stability, harmonics etc. also require attention

Practical implications: Distribution network performance is essential for the operation of electrical gadgets. Therefore, improved distribution network performance will result in the economic development of a country.

Originality/Value: This paper provides the platform that stimulates interest in using DG to improve the distribution network performance.
Influence of Organisational Culture on Project Planning: A Competing Values Perspective in Ghanaian Context
Authors: Ackon F. , Kheni N. A. , Mensah J. V.
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study empirically examined the influence of organisational culture (OC) on construction project planning.

Design/methodology/approach: A descriptive cross-sectional survey approach was used to obtain quantitative data from 375 large and medium-scale construction firms in Ghana. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean and standard deviation, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation and multiple regression model.

Findings: The results revealed that the market type of organisational culture had the highest significant positive influence on project planning, followed by clan, hierarchy, and adhocracy cultures. The results further revealed that a high level of project planning is positively associated with the combined cultural clusters represented by the dimensions of “stability and control clusters”. 

Research limitation: This study focused on only large and medium-scale construction organisations; however, data from small-scale construction organisations will be needed to strengthen and widen the scope of applicability of the findings.

Practical implication: It is evident that the practice of adhocracy culture in the surveyed firms provides a low significant effect on project planning efforts. It is, therefore, recommended that more emphasis be placed on market culture as it had proven to have a higher significant influence on construction project planning.

Social implication: This study contributes to management and public policy by identifying organisational cultural types that significantly contribute to achieving effective project planning.

Originality/value: Organisational culture in the context of project planning initiatives has received very little attention in project management research. This research significantly contributes to the research stream by providing empirical evidence of the influence of OC on project planning, highlighting which OC types are more or less likely to improve project planning efforts.

Background – The problem of waste is one of big problems arise from various sectors. Recycling and reusing can be one good solution. Balinese people who still carry out traditions including the event with various arts, one of which is a beautiful offering. This beautiful offering is in the form of sampyan from art coconut leaves which ends as waste. In the past, when Balinese were going to cook, they could use fuel from this dry coconut leaves waste. On The Holidays for ceremonies, there is a 30% increase in waste. Even though this is a ceremonial waste, a balance in the relationship with God/Hyang Widi must be maintained in accordance with the Balinese concept of Tri Hita Karana. This concept is in the form of a balanced relationship towards Hyang Widi/God, to the fellow humans and to the environment that causes happiness. Therefore, waste must be processed. Husks and straw waste from rise field in Bali amounted to 54.65 million tons of GKG, then alot of sawdust waste from wood carving and wood architecture industries. This waste is often burned even though some are used for planting media and fuel. On the other hand, the tourism community and people in Bali produce 829 tons of plastic waste per day. Currently, appreciation of buildings with “Green Architecture” is a concern for tourism and will become of destinations. Thus, it will very possible in Bali. Purpose – provide economic value added for the community, wood workers and farmers and make the world a better place. Findings –Artistic acoustic panel recycled material from plastic bottles and waste of sampyan, sawdust, husks, straw. Originality/value – Acoustic Panel Material and Artistic Acoustic Panels with Balinese Architectural Ornaments is an original. Design/methodology/approach – Recycled plastic waste with the right mixture composition is heated and printed with a hot press machine. In this study, the Transmission Loss test was carried out using an Impedance Tube. Research limitations – Measurement of transmission loss on sheet panels has limitations. Measurements should be developed into room research.

The establishments of the nexus between the underlying geology and engineering properties are fundamentals to the safe, economic and serviceable designs of civil engineering structures. Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) are critical tools in foundation parameterization especially within Quaternary sediments serving as foundation of engineering structures. Both techniques were used to obtained point data and lateral continuity of geologic units within Ikate Area of Lagos Metropolis for foundation parameterization. Measurements which comprising 4 profiles of 2D resistivity imaging using the Wenner electrode configuration; 1 borehole and 12 cone penetration tests (CPT) were taken with Pasi Terrameter, percussion rig and the 10.0 tons penetrometer respectively. The ERT results interpreted using Dipro software were presented in Pseudo-sections while the cone penetration test results analysed with Microsoft Excel were represented as resistance curves. Interpretation from the two methods integrated with the borehole results reveals the presence clay, peat and sand of varying properties. The uppermost layer consists of medium dense sand followed by clay/peat of very low resistivity (< 3.5 ohm-meter) covering about 6. 0 – 8.0m in depth and terminating in another layer of sand (8.0 – 15.0m). The last sandy layer with cone resistance range between 30 – 120kg/cm2 is considered a suitable layer upon which deep foundation may be founded. Shallow foundation capacity estimates at depths 0.2 – 4.0m derived from direct CPT data using three different computation techniques gives value range from 1.7 – 49.4kg/cm2, 0.7 – 15.2kg/cm2 and 0.4 – 12.6kg/cm2 respectively. Deep foundation for skyscrapers within the area are advised to be founded within the competent layer encountered beyond 10.m depth.

Authors: Jayanto Rahmat , Kusumaningrum Retno , Wibowo Adi
Published: January 2023

Advances in information technology have given rise to online hotel reservation options. The user review feature is an important factor during the online booking of hotels. Generally, most online hotel booking service providers provide review and rating features for assessing hotels. However, not all service providers provide rating features or recap reviews for every aspect of the hotel services offered. Therefore, we propose a method to summarise reviews based on multiple aspects, including food, room, service, and location. This method uses long short-term memory (LSTM), together with hidden layers and automation of the optimal number of hidden neurons. The F1-measure value of 75.28% for the best model was based on the fact that (i) the size of the first hidden layer is 1,200 neurons with the tanh activation function, and (ii) the size of the second hidden layer is 600 neurons with the ReLU activation function. The proposed model outperforms the baseline model (also known as standard LSTM) by 10.16%. It is anticipated that the model developed through this study can be accessed by users of online hotel booking services to acquire a review recap on more specific aspects of services offered by hotels
Extending adamic adar for cold-start problem in link prediction based on network metrics
Authors: Yuliansyah Herman , Othman Zulaiha Ali , Bakar Azuraliza Abu
Published: January 2023

The cold-start problem is a condition for a new node to join a network with no available information or an isolated node. Most studies use topological network information with the Triadic Closure principles to predict links in future networks. However, the method based on the Triadic Closure principles cannot predict the future link due to no common neighbors between the predicted node pairs. Adamic Adar is one of the methods based on the Triadic Closure principles. This paper proposes three methods for extending Adamic Adar based on network metrics. The main objective is to utilize the network metrics to attract the isolated node or new node to make new relationships in the future network. The proposed method is called the extended Adamic Adar index based on Degree Centrality (DCAA), Closeness Centrality (CloCAA), and Clustering Coefficient (CluCAA). Experiments were conducted by sampling 10% of the dataset as testing data. The proposed method is examined using the four real-world networks by comparing the AUC score. Finally, the experiment results show that the DCAA and CloCAA can predict up to 99% of node pairs with a cold-start problem. DCAA and CloCAA outperform the benchmark, with an AUC score of up to 0,960. This finding shows that the extended Adamic Adar index can overcome prediction failures on node pairs with cold-start problems. In addition, prediction performance is also improved compared to the original Adamic Adar. The experiment results are promising for future research due to successfully improving the prediction performance and overcoming the cold-start problem.

Authors: Ferdinand Yulio , Al Maki Wikky Fawwaz
Published: January 2023

Broccoli is a plant that has many benefits. The flower parts of broccoli contain protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and many more. However, in its cultivation, broccoli plants have obstacles such as the presence of pests and diseases that can affect production of broccoli. To avoid this, the authors build a model to identify diseases in broccoli through leaf images with a size of 128x128 pixels. The model is constructed to classify healthy leaves, and disease leaves using the image processing method that uses machine learning stages. There are several stages, including K-Means segmentation, colour feature extraction, and classification using SVM (Support Vector Machine) with RBF kernel and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) for reduce dimensionality data. The model that has been built compares the SVM model and the SVM-PSO model. It produces good accuracy in the training of 97.63% and testing accuracy of 94.48% for SVM-PSO and 85.82% for training, and 86.25% for testing in the SVM model. Therefore, this proposed model can produce good results in categorizing healthy and diseased leaves in broccoli.

Published: January 2023

The subjects of the research are the transformation of the global socio-economic paradigm and its impact on the system of higher education and public administration. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors of transformation of the global socio-economic paradigm and to establish its influence on the formation of ideological attitudes of university students and the peculiarities of the state economic policy. The article examines the peculiarities of the process of changing socio-economic paradigms in economic theory and economic policy, explores the concept of socio-economic paradigm and the reasons for its transformation from the point of view of philosophy and methodology of science. The analysis of the causes, factors and driving forces of the transformation of socio-economic paradigms in the nineteenth century is conducted. The features of the transition from the Keynesian to the neoliberal economic paradigm are highlighted. As an alternative to the neoliberal socio-economic paradigm, the principles of the Beijing Consensus are investigated. The degree to which the economic and political conditions that have developed after the global financial and economic crisis open up opportunities for the transition from neoliberalism to a new socio-economic paradigm is assessed. It is concluded that the most important factor in the formation of socio-economic paradigms is economic education. After the global financial and economic crisis of 2008-2009, it became obvious that orthodox economic ideas and policies can no longer adequately solve the main problems facing Western economies. It is concluded that the neoliberal consensus remains dominant, albeit in a modified form, in public discourse and politics in most developed countries. There is no guarantee that there will not be a paradigm shift in economic thought and policy in the coming years.

The subject of the study is the features of the evaluation of the human capital of an organization as a system of restrictions used in the selection of methods of quantitative measurement and examination of human capital. The purpose of the work is to form an algorithm for constructing a methodology for the valuation of human capital. The article forms the basic criterion for making a strategic investment decision concerning the use of the profit of the organization to ensure the income of the owners. A list of the main properties of the human capital valuation process has been formed, which covers not only the subject and object of the assessment, but also the purpose, result and methodology of the assessment. It is shown that they allow determining the final features of the process of assessing the value of human capital. Based on the selected properties of the evaluation process, the main features of the evaluation of the value of human capital in the organization are established, which, in particular, include cost estimation; time limitation; consideration of the synergetic effect and emergence of efforts in the team; verifiability; chain dependence. It is determined that the carriers of human capital are not only employees individually, but also the collective as a whole. Based on the features of human capital assessment, an algorithm for choosing quantitative and qualitative methods for assessing the value of an organization's human capital has been developed. It is shown that in the evaluation process, various efforts are required to verify the satisfaction of the results, as well as their comparison with various benchmarks, for example, market or historical ones. It is concluded that human capital is a reflection not only of the individual abilities of employees, but also the result of their self-realization, interest and involvement in the process of economic activity.

Assessment of minimum water fl ow by siphon type structures of reclaimation systems
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, CHERNIKH O. N. , BURLACHENKO A. V.
Published: January 2023

Issues related to the design and hydraulic calculation of the transit part of a closed tubular water supply structure of the siphon type is considered. The operating conditions of the siphon with rectangular pipes in the transition mode are evaluated, in which the entrance section of the pipes of the culvert structure experiences increased hydrodynamic loads, often leading to certain destructions. The siphon design was modeled with two breaks along the length with a smooth inlet head and without a head. During the experiments, the absence of infl uence of the inlet head of the tubular HTS on the length of the free-flow section was noted. It has been established that the conditions of formation and features of the hydraulic operation of the siphon in the transient mode are largely determined by its design features. With the flooding of the inlet head, the flow of air into the pipe is hindered and a transition mode of the second type is formed with a slight fluctuation of the water level in the upper pool. The dependence of the location of the point of separation of the flow with a decrease in the passing water flow rate on its value is revealed, which made it possible to obtain a graph of the dependence of the relative length of the non-pressure end section on the square root of the Froude number. A comparison was made with the results of studies by other authors, which showed an increase in the relative length in tubular HTS of the siphon type in sections with reverse slopes at the same Froude numbers. Recommendations are given on the methodology for carrying out hydraulic calculation of tubular structures of the siphon type with minimal flow rates.

Taro in addition to having carbohydrate component, also contains other components that are good for health. Taro has the disadvantage of itching when consuming taro due to the oxalate compounds contained in it. This has resulted in people being reluctant to process taro.  This problem was experienced by one of the groups in Wanagiri Village, namely the Prosperous Family Empowerment Group (PKK) Wanagiri, which is located in Sukasada District, Buleleng Regency, Province Bali, Indonesia. The partner does not yet know the taste of taro, and does not have innovative product management made from taro. Solutions to overcome such problems are:  providing knowledge regarding the cultivation and processing of taro, providing training on the processing of taro products (bread, nuggets and   jams) and how to package, market and handle processing waste.  The method used is active community participation.  Community Self-Reliance Activities (KKM) in Wanagiri Village have been running smoothly. The added value of the Wanagiri PKK group and their standard of living has increased. Taro-based innovative product development with a zero-waste concept can be applied. Knowledge of how to process taro into bread, nuggets, chips and jam, product packaging, and marketing can help people to increase self-sufficiency. Mentoring activities should be carried out on an ongoing basis so that groups are able to independently make products (chips, bread, nuggets and jam), wider marketing and ultimately increased welfare.

Indonesian lost 6 days productive time in average because the disability of daily activities, that must be dealt with seriously because the effect of this problem is the declining quality of life of a person and will also cause a burden for country. This research is expected to be the key to understand and overcome the problems of disability in daily activities. The research used cross sectional design with a secondary data based of Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5. The analysis in this study was logistic regression with samples aged >40 years who participated in data collection conducted by RAND with a total of 8185 respondents. Almost all variables examined in this study were statistically significant with disabilities, there were age (p = 0.000, OR = 2.996, 95%CI = 2.726 – 3.294), gender (p = 0.000, OR = 1.858, 95%CI = 1.693 – 2.039), marital status (p = 0.000, OR = 2.211, 95%CI = 1.997 – 2.448), employment status (p = 0.000, OR = 2.540, 95%CI = 2.321 – 2.780), arthritis status (p = 0.000, OR = 1.687, 95%CI = 1.482 – 1.919) and obesity (p = 0.000, OR = 1.345, 95%CI = 1.177 – 1.538). Only variable educational level that is not significant with disability (p=0,198). The target of disability management is prioritized at an older age by providing health education and assistance so that they can withstand the threat of daily disability and lead to an improvement in their quality of life.
Corruption and Economic Growth Nexus: What has the Arab Spring Changed?
Authors: KIRŞANLI Fatih
Published: January 2023

Corruption is an everlasting phenomenon in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It is considered one of the fundamental reasons for the Arab incidents that started in Tunisia in 2011. Considering its devastating effects, this paper concentrates on the impacts of corruption at the macro level following the Arab uprisings. Notably, it investigates the impact of corruption on economic growth between 1996-2020 in 18 MENA countries. The paper utilizes panel estimators with country-fixed effect regressions given the results of the Hausman test. Panel estimators help control time-variant unobserved heterogeneity and capture both time and country-specific differences. The results indicate that after the Arab Spring, corruption lowers economic growth. One unit increase in control of corruption score of World Governance Indicators (WGI) decreases economic growth between 1.64-2.98 percentage points depending on the model. The results are robust with alternative corruption indexes such as the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG), Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), and the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). Furthermore, the Chow test confirms that 2011 constitutes a structural break in the history of the MENA region. The outcomes indicate that specific policies need to be implemented to alleviate the adverse impacts of corruption in MENA countries.

The development of internet technology is growing very rapidly. Moreover, keeping internet users protected from cyberattacks is part of the security challenges. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a real attack that continues to grow. DDoS attacks have become one of the most difficult attacks to detect and mitigate appropriately. Software Defined Network (SDN) architecture is a novel network management and a new concept of the infrastructure network. A controller is a single point of failure in SDN, which is the most dangerous of various attacks because the attacker can take control of the controller so that it can control all network traffic. Various detection and mitigation methods have been offered, but not many consider the capacity of the SDN controller. In this research, we propose a feature selection method for DDoS attacks. This research aims to select the most important features of DDoS attacks on SDN so that the detection of DDoS on SDN can be lightweight and early. This research uses a dataset [1] generated by a Mininet emulator. The simulation runs for benign TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic and malicious traffic, which is the collection of TCP SYN attacks, UDP Flood attacks, and ICMP attacks. A total of 23 features are available in the dataset, some are extracted from the switches, and others are calculated. By using three methods, filter-based, wrapper-based, and embedded-based, we get consistent results where the pktcount feature is the highest feature importance of DDoS attacks on SDN.
A Univariate Extreme Value Analysis and Change Point Detection of Monthly Discharge in Kali Kupang, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Herho Sandy H. S.
Published: January 2023

Kali Kupang plays an important role in the life of the people of Pekalongan and its surrounding areas. However, until recently, not many hydrological studies have been carried out in this area. This study presents how Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) can predict future extreme hydrological events and how a dynamic-programming-based change point detection algorithm can detect the abrupt transition in discharge events variability. Using the annual block maxima, we can predict the upper extreme discharge probability from the generalized extreme value distribution (GEVD) that best fits the data by using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm as a distribution fitting method. Metropolis-Hasting (MH) algorithm with 500 walkers and 2,500 samples for each walker is used to generate random samples from the prior distribution. As a result, this discharge data can be categorized as a Gumbel distribution ( Â = 6.818, Â = 3.456, and Â = 0). The recurrence intervals (RI) for this discharge data can be calculated through this distribution. The changepoint location of the annual standard deviation of this discharge data in the mid-1990s is detected by using the pruned exact linear time (PELT) algorithm. Despite some shortcomings, this study can pave the way for using data-driven algorithms, along with more traditional numerical and descriptive approaches, to analyze hydrological time-series data in Indonesia. This is crucial, considering an increasing number of hydro climatological disasters in the future as a consequence of global climate change.
