Authors: Ahmad Hawa , Mokhtar Norsyahida , Ismail Suhaiza
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The objectives of this paper are two-fold: first, it presents a bibliometric study on digital audit in the public sector of different countries; and Second, it provides review of prior studies on digital audit implementation by governments in various countries. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: There are two parts in the present study, and both use secondary data. The first part is a bibliometric study of past literature on digital audit in the public sector which was carried out to provide an overview of trend of publications over the last 30 years, citation analysis in terms of top cited journals and articles, as well as author analysis which covers most active single author and author with co-authorship and based on the country of the authors. The second part of the paper uses the content analysis technique on prior literature to extract and compile information on digital audit practices by the public sector of various countries in terms of the year of implementation, current status of implementation, and modules and the software used. Findings: The results of the first of the study indicate the increasing trend of publications on digital audit in the public sector which are authored by researchers from many countries. This implies the current trend of digital audit movement by governments around the world. For the second part, the review on digital audit practices of governments in different countries reveals several European countries such as Norway, Ukraine and Germany are championing digital audit in the public sector although none of the countries has full-fledged implementation. Most countries started with taxation audit, and are now having labs or incubators for full-fledged digital audit experimentation in the public sector. Originality/ Value: The findings of this paper are important due to the followings: (1) it offers insightful evidence into the current development and direction of digital audit research, which ultimately calls for more research efforts on digital audit in the public sector; (2) the information on digital audit practices by several European countries provides essential guidance to the governments of other countries including Malaysia to better prepare for its successful more advanced digital audit implementation journey. Keywords: Digital audit, public sector, bibliometric analysis, digital transformation.

Authors: Isa Che Ruhana , Abu Hasan Haslida , Saleh Zakiah
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the current accounting practices and issues in accounting for infrastructure assets in Malaysian public sector organisations. Comparatively, this paper also provides an overview of current practices in other countries. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: Data collection was through reviews of extant literature, accounting standards and guidelines by the Accountant General’s Department of Malaysia (AGD), including guidelines and government publications in other countries. Findings: Accounting practice for infrastructure assets varies across countries. There is no specific accounting standard for infrastructure assets. Instead, most countries including Australia, Austria, Canada, France, New Zealand and Malaysia follow the accounting standards for property, plant and equipment to account for infrastructure assets. However, given the unique nature of infrastructure assets, there are issues in identifying what constitute infrastructure assets and determining which government organisations have control over their assets. In addition, challenges in recognition and valuation of infrastructure assets, which include initial and subsequent measurement, depreciation and disclosure also exist. Practical Implications: The government’s spending for infrastructure assets represents a significant proportion of its budget. Therefore, accurate accounting treatments and reporting of the assets is pivotal. This paper aimsto present an update to policy makers and practitioners on current pertinent accounting standards, issues and accounting practices at the international level as well as at the Malaysian federal government. Originality/ Value: Research on accounting for infrastructure assets is still limited. Findings from this research will add to the body of knowledge by highlighting the main issues and providing basis for further investigation. Keywords: Infrastructure assets, definition, recognition, IPSAS17, MPSAS17.

A retrospective cohort study aims at assessing the effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in treating pre-operative aberrant posture in a patient with Knee-hip-spine syndrome. Preoperative and post-operative at (6 and 12 months) assessments, were done by combining clinical evaluations, radiographic analyses, and posture assessments, KSS, HOOS and ODI were used to conduct a thorough analysis of a cohort of 62 patients receiving TKA for KHSS. The main goal was to assess how TKA affected individuals who already had aberrant posture in terms of knee, hip, and spine alignment. Our findings showed that after TKA, pre-operative aberrant posture significantly improved in a way that was clinically meaningful. Significant realignment of the knee, hip, and spine was shown by radiographic data, demonstrating the TKA's all-encompassing remedial effect on the musculoskeletal system. Clinical evaluations correlated to the radiological results, with patients expressing better functional results and more effective postoperative pain alleviation which were demonstrated by the HOOS, KSS and ODI scores. The research highlights the advantages of TKA that extend beyond the knee joint by indicating a favourable link between patient-reported improvements and the treatment of aberrant posture. Our study concluded that, in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, hip dysfunction, and spinal problems, TKA significantly improves preoperative aberrant posture in patients with KHSS. Following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the realignment of the lower limbs has a role in improving the balance of the spine, which in turn reduces disability and improves the quality of life for patients. The best surgical methods and post-operative care plans must be determined via more study in order to optimize the advantages of TKA for patients with KHSS.
Legal Aspects of Therapeutic Agreements in Online-Based Health Services (Telemedicine)
Authors: Widya Maharani Andita , Kolib Abdul
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine the legal aspects of therapeutic agreements using online-based health services in the relationship between doctors and patients. At the beginning of the pandemic, the spread of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) developed very quickly, one of the government's steps in preventing the spread of COVID-19 was to limit face-to-face health services through the use of telemedicine or online-based health services. Telemedicine is the use of information and communication technology combined with medical expertise to provide health services without being limited in space or carried out remotely. Currently, although it is still in progress, the implementation of telemedicine application services continues to be used and has experienced a rapid increase in use. The research method used is normative law. The results of the research method concluded that: in online-based health services therapeutic agreements between doctors and patients still occur even though they do not face each other directly, electronic agreements that are binding for the parties are agreements that have fulfilled the requirements of a valid agreement as in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. And there is still no specific legal certainty in the use of online-based health services.

The study was realised within the international research project W/VSP/161/ I “Basic research of circadian determinants of lifestyle and performance of Japanese and Czech athletes and non-athletes”. The objective of the study was to analyse selected lifestyle indicators, including circadian habits, of top rowers in adolescent age with focus on their sport performance support. The group of 50 top rowers in the age range of 15 - 20 years was involved in the survey. The measurements were realised in laboratories of the scientific and service workplace of physical education and sport CASRI in Prague. Exploratory methods were used for diagnostics, i.e. "Weekly schedule of athlete's activities", "Questionnaire of life rhythms and sleep regime" and questionnaire "Healthy lifestyle and regeneration of athlete". Following methods were used for statistical data analysis: Spearman´s correlation coefficient, Student's t-test, one-factor ANOVA, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Fischer's exact test. Results analyses shown that the top rowers in adolescent age are predominantly early morning types, which is desirable in terms of performance support and sleep regeneration. The results also show that the monitored group of athletes shows signs of health promotion as recommended for juvenile top athletes’ healthy lifestyle, their daily rhythms and habits are well-set, which may indicate an excellent educational guidance of coaches and parents. Only some reserves in the regular inclusion of compensatory exercises in the daily routine of monitored juvenile athletes were found.
Facing diversity: Islamic marriages and human rights
Authors: LAMÇE Juelda
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to analyze the challenges of facing diversity when it comes to Islamic marriages and human rights. The qualification of rights as universal has been questioned in the Islamic world because it reflects only the Western concept of human rights. Despite the codification of positive law norms, in some Islamic tradition countries, there are still difficulties in recognizing a set of universally recognized positive rights. In terms of co-existence between secular and religious law, it is fundamental for religious norms to be aligned with the international legal order in general and the protection of human rights in particular. Nonetheless, when addressing these issues, it is assumed that the logic of clash of civilizations serves as a deterrent to any effort toward understanding and seeking common solutions.

REINTERPRETASI PANCASILA
Authors: Imadudin Muhammad , Anis Muhammad
Published: December 2023

Constitutional change and democratization in Indonesia have reopened dialectics and dynamics among religious, cultural and philosophical traditions in the country. Contemporary scholars tend to agree that Pancasila and democracy are compatible with Islam. The interpretation of Pancasila have been widely discussed by a number of contemporary Indonesian scholars. They use their own paradigms and methods in their interpretation of Pancasila. Some scholars urge for the formalization of sharia in a Pancasila state, while others develop the ideas of religious moderation in a Pancasila state. The smaller groups of scholars interpret Pancasila in the secularistic paradigm. This paper discusses the interpretation of Pancasila among Muslim intelligentsia and civil society organizations. It seeks the most relevant and coherent paradigm for interpreting Pancasila. Hence, this paper shall examine the three paradigms of the relation/dialectic of religion and state. This paper maps out the thoughts and models of interpretation of Pancasila, that are discussed by Muslim intelligentsia and civil society organizations. The assumption built at the beginning of this paper is that the symbiotic paradigm has relevance, coherence, and correspondence with the values of Pancasila itself. Therefore, this paper shall examine the assumptions mentioned above. This paper is based on a library research, and also a qualitative research. It is, therefore, a basic/philosophical research as well. The sources of research data in this paper are collected  from related documents and other related writings.
A utilização do ozônio como sanitizante na indústria de alimentos: uma revisão narrativa
Authors: Cavalcante Maria Leidiane , Lima Jorgiane da Silva Severino
Published: December 2023

A indústria de processamento de alimentos tem aumentado o incentivo às pesquisas com novos agentes sanitizantes que não gerem resíduos. O tratamento com ozônio é uma opção vantajosa por ser reconhecido como uma tecnologia de processamento de alimentos ecologicamente sustentável e economicamente viável. Além disso, o ozônio é um sanitizante alternativo pela elevada eficiência na inativação de microrganismos patogênicos e por quase não gerar subprodutos. Esse trabalho objetivou realizar uma revisão narrativa acerca da utilização do ozônio na indústria de alimentos, tendo como referência suas aplicações e implicaçõs em todo o setor industrial alimentício, bem como os cuidados e atenções necessárias quanto à exposição humana. A busca também ressaltou a deficiência de legislações em vigor que visem estabelecer uma utilização mais segura e eficaz desse recurso. Assim, foi possível evidenciar que a criação de leis específicas que regulamentem o uso do ozônio na indústria de alimentos é essencial para gerar diretrizes durante a aplicação, monitoramento e controle desses processos, além de garantir a segurança alimentar, proteger a saúde dos trabalhadores e minimizar impactos ambientais adversos. Para compilar o referencial teórico deste trabalho, procedeu-se com a busca de artigos científicos nos principais bancos de dados de pesquisa e áreas correlatas.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BOOST CONVERTER TOPOLOGIES FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS USING MPPT (PO) AND BETA METHODS UNDER PARTIAL SHADING
Authors: SEBA SAMAH , BIRANE MOUHOUB , BENMOUIZA KHALIL
Published: December 2023

Photovoltaic systems have become a popular renewable energy source due to their many benefits. Optimizing PV systems requires efficiently extracting the maximum power point. This can be achieved by optimizing maximum peak power tracking algorithms or testing different PV system topologies.  In this paper, different topologies of dc/dc converters with two MPPT algorithms (Beta and perturb and observe) are tested to control the duty ratio of the converters.  At first, the modeling of different DC/DC converter topologies to optimize the maximum power point tracking efficiency of photovoltaic systems is achieved. The simulation results show that the Beta algorithm gives a higher accuracy and efficiency than the P&O algorithm, especially in low oscillations with fast convergence speed. According to the findings, a parallel arrangement of boost converters is usually preferable to a series arrangement, especially for following changes in irradiance.

Artificial intelligence and psychological: Propaganda operations in the context of threat to national security
Authors: Proroković Dušan , Parezanović Marko
Published: December 2023

The key characteristic of international relations is their anarchy and in modern conditions this is manifested by the continuous performance of psychological-propaganda operations (PsyOp) by some actors against others. PsyOp represent the first stage in the preparation and implementation of a hybrid war, but they can also be an end in themselves. Over time, they have become an indispensable means of ensuring national security. National security is ensured by eliminating or relativizing the conflicting interests of rivals (enemies) against whom PsyOp are directed. A new moment in the application of this concept is the development and (mis) use of artificial intelligence (AI). The capacities of artificial intelligence for designing and implementing PsyOp far exceed human potential. It can introduce international relations into a stage of constant and permanent conflicts by carrying out continuous psychological-propaganda operations and starting hybrid wars that will never end. Another danger lies in the claim of the creators of AI that the AI has its own logic, and because of this, in the future, it will depend less and less on given inputs. In an anarchic environment, AI can independently induce and generate wars by conducting unpredictable PsyOp. The author's conclusion is that the combination of traditional anarchy and new technology worsens the national security of states, but indirectly also global security, and therefore it is necessary to think about different ways of limiting the use of AI in international relations.
The use of artificial intelligence in the Russo-Ukrainian war
Authors: Đorić Marija , Glišin Vanja
Published: December 2023

The Russo-Ukrainian conflict, with its geopolitical importance, goes beyond regional borders, which is why it is inevitable that we talk about it as a conflict of global proportions. The direct and/or indirect involvement of numerous countries of the world in this conflict, especially in the form of military-technical, technological, economic and economic involvement, confirms the above. The focus of our work is the military-technical aspect, i.e., the use of artificial intelligence and its importance for the present and future of warfare. In the first part of the work, artificial intelligence is conceptually defined, and then the use of artificial intelligence in the military industry is elaborated, as well as its importance in changing the conventional way of warfare. Finally, the authors deal with the use of artificial intelligence in the Ukrainian war, in order to point to a new form of arms race.
Flood frequency analysis in the world
Authors: Radovanović Sanja , Mihailović Nenad , Radovanović Željko , Veljković Ljubiša
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the hypothesis that floods in the last few decades recorded an extreme increase in frequency. As analysis of the number of events is the first step in the flood risk modelling, an empirical study was conducted based on data from the natural disaster database of the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. The Mann Kendall Trend Test is used to identify a tendency in a series (the number of floods from 1960 to 2022 in the world) by testing statistical hypotheses and a randomness check in its variations, i. e. determining whether the time series has a tendency. The test determined that the flood frequency tendency is statistically significant. Based on measures of representativeness of the tendency, standard error and mean average deviation, an exponential regression curve was chosen with a coefficient of determination of 0.8807. With a relatively high coefficient of determination value, the model gives a solid basis for predicting those events in the future, but this property could certainly be improved.

On the Causes and Environmental Impact of Airborne Holdings at Major European Airports
Authors: Dalmau Ramon , Very Philippe , Jarry Gabriel
Published: December 2023

This paper introduces a data-driven technique for labelling airborne holdings based on their underlying causes, specifically distinguishing between adverse weather conditions and other causes, such as airport capacity. Utilising a dataset comprised of flight trajectories arriving at 45 European airports over a nine-month period, extracted from automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data, this paper provides valuable insights into the causes behind airborne holdings and their relative environmental impact. The proposed approach involves employing an existing neural network to identify airborne holdings. Subsequently, these holdings are cross-referenced with actual weather observations obtained from meteorological aerodrome reports. Following this, a subset of the holdings is labelled as either weather-related or attributed to other causes, based on historical air traffic flow management regulations. Finally, the cause of the majority of unlabelled holdings is determined using semi-supervised learning. The findings indicate that at least one-quarter of the 30-minute time periods with airborne holdings identified by the neural network can be attributed to weather-related factors, with reduced visibility, strong winds, and convective weather, emerging as the primary contributing events. Intriguingly, weather-related causes account for approximately 40% of the total fuel consumption associated with these procedures.
[Poster] Classification of Holdings in Flights Arriving at Dubai International Airport (DXB) in One Year
Authors: Pradines de Menezes Junior Luiz
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study was to use a machine-learning approach for the classification of holdings for all flights arriving at Dubai International Airport (IATA DXB) in a period of one year. The study used data from ADS-B for all flights arriving and departing DXB for the period 15 February 2018 and 15 February 2019. For all 189,999 arrivals analyzed, it was identified the Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) flown, the occurrence of holdings, the aircraft flying (for the determination of wake turbulence category), the visibility, and data related to the interception of a circle centered around DXB with a radius of 50 NM (geographical position, number of aircraft entering the circle for several time windows, number of aircraft flying within this circle etc), along with the number of aircraft taking-off and landing during a given time period. These features were tested, in different combinations, to determine their impact on metrics used to evaluate the classifier output quality. After running classifiers designed with different algorithms and combinations of features, it was identified the one which, with the CatBoost algorithm, gave the best F1 (0.777), Precision (0.847) and Accuracy (0.912) for a period of 10 minutes after interception. The F1 increased to 0.85 when the altitude and the speed at the interception of the circle were included as features, but they were discarded as they introduced an undesirable bias in the final model.
[Poster] Exploiting high-resolution ADS-B data for flight operation reconstruction towards environmental impact assessment
Authors: Pretto Marco , Dorbolò Lorenzo , Giannattasio Pietro
Published: December 2023

The estimation of the detrimental impact of civil air traffic on the near-airport environment is conducted by means of dedicated assessment tools, usually based on best-practice methods. However, their application involves availability of information on the flight operations, and, although the use of flight tracking data is very helpful, their full inclusion into these tools is challenging. In this paper, following the authors’ previous efforts and with the purpose of future implementation into assessment tools, highly time-resolved datasets from the OpenSky Network are used for the identification of daily flight operations. Then, the ground track reconstruction is carried out with a newly developed algorithm, which exploits the high time resolution to generate smooth trajectories using only segments and circular arcs while maintaining high accuracy, as shown in the results. This work lays the foundation for immediate future developments involving the reconstruction of aircraft performance and the estimation of airport noise levels.

The article is devoted to the study of legal norms provided in the procedure of private prosecution. Considering the actuality of the process within the legal system of the Republic of Armenia, we studied the range of crime elements that are the subject of investigation in the framework of private prosecution proceedings, their nature and compliance with the specifics of the proceedings.
Since, according to the new rules, the victim has become the main responsible for the evidence in cases of private prosecution, we have introduced the limited legal possibilities of the victim while implementing the given duty taking into account various studies of legal acts. From the point of view of legislative regulation, the acquisition process of the status of the accused person within the given proceeding is also interesting, therefore, we revealed approaches to this status in other legal acts and its impact on the materials substantiating a criminal case. Particular attention is paid to the requirements for claiming a criminal case. In particular, the formulation of materials
substantiating the accusation as well as the indication of the residence or registration addresses of the persons summoned to the court being considered as requirements submitted to the criminal lawsuit have been subjects of interest.

The study's major goal was to assess the impact of parental socioeconomic factors
on child abuse tendencies in Local Government Area. To fulfill the study's goal, two
null hypotheses were developed to lead the investigation. The study employed an ex-post
facto research approach. The study's population consisted of 1,205 SS 2 students from
public secondary schools in Obudu. The study's sample consists of 176 SS 2 pupils drawn
from the eight schools chosen for this study using a non-probability sampling technique.
The main instruments used for data collection were a four-point rating scale
questionnaire titled “Parental Socio-Economic Factors and Child Abuse Tendencies
Questionnaire." The questionnaire contained 20 items. The instruments had
reliability coefficients of 0.77 and 0.98 for the questionnaire. The hypotheses were
tested using an independent t-test analysis. The study's findings found that family size
and parental income level influence child abuse tendencies in the study area. In
accordance with the results, a few suggestions were made, among other things: counselors
should encourage parents and caregivers to attend family planning seminars and recognize
the importance of having a small family size that they can comfortably and conveniently
cater for in Obudu Local Government Area

The Global Dash for Cash: Why Sovereign Bond Market Functioning Varied across Jurisdictions in March 2020

Published: December 2023

In March 2020, the economic disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a global dash for cash by investors. This selling pressure occurred across advanced-economy sovereign bond markets and caused a deterioration in market functioning, leading to central bank interventions. The authors show that these market disruptions occurred disproportionately in the U.S. Treasury market and were due to investors’ selling pressures being far more pronounced and broad-based. Furthermore, the authors assess differences in key drivers of the market disruptions across sovereign bond markets, based on an analysis of the data as well as outreach to a range of market participants.

Over the last three decades, the services sector’s contribution to GDP growth has been steadily rising. Actually, with the services sector accounting for over half of GDP in the United States—the first country to be formally classified as a service economy—and other industrialised nations, the importance of services to their economies is only increasing. But even emerging nations now depend on the services industry to fuel their economies. Businesses have realised that marketing services, which are intangible, perishable, and variable, needs different techniques than selling commodities. Therefore, the development of services marketing as a distinct academic discipline should come as no surprise. Modern managers can’t successfully propel their companies forward without this information.
