Authors: Santoso Qidam Agwalul , Nisa Karimatun , Abidin Zainal , Ilmi Ulul
Published: January 2024

Energy requirements are needed by modern society in this digital era. Today the most widely used energy is fossil energy. It makes fossil energy can run out at any time. Therefore, alternative energy is needed, especially energy from nature. Indonesia has a lot of potential for the development of hydroelectric power plants. It happens because Indonesia has a tropical climate with very high rainfall and many of rivers with a fairly swift flow. The study done at Bujel village in Ngimbang Sub-District, Lamongan. DC generator is superior because the DC generator used is a low rpm generator, so by low rpm can have a higher voltage level of 25V, while AC generator has a maximum voltage of 11V. Based on the standard level of water turbine efficiency of 70%-90%, it means that the second generator can be said to be efficient because the load used is only a 50 Ω. The selection of gear ratios also affects the efficiency value of a water turbine because therefore in this study will examine the difference in gear ratios, namely 46:16, 46:18, 46:20. Considering the test results of the three gears, the gear with a ratio of 46:16 has a high rpm level of 468 rpm.

Authors: Susetyo Mochammad Arief , Andoko Andoko , Pradana Yanuar Rohmat Aji
Published: January 2024

The toothbrush handle is an injection molded product that rejects up to 10%. One of the factors that cause defects is the injection molding process settings, namely melting and cooling temperature. The purpose of this optimization is to obtain the optimum value of melt and cooling temperature parameters on product quality (minimum defects) of toothbrush handles using RSM. The methods used include simulation using ANSYS to obtain mold temperature, Autodesk Moldflow to obtain product defects and quality prediction based on input parameters of melt temperature (190o , 200o , and 210o C) and coolant temperature (22o , 24o , and 26o C), and Minitab 19 for RSM optimization. The simulation results that cooling temperature and melt temperature that are too low and high result in high defect values (weld line and shrinkage) in the product, resulting in low quality prediction values. Based on the results of the optimized simulation, the best injection molding setting is at a melt temperature of 200oC and a cooling temperature of 24oC which obtains a toothbrush handle product quality response variable of 78.04% with a minimum weld line value of 0.0277o and a minimum shrinkage depth of 0.009 mm.
Analysis of Energy Absorption of Soft Body Armor with Experimental Method and Finite Element Method Using STF (Shear Thickening Fluid) Composite Material
Authors: Putra Agus Dwi , Tsamroh Dewi Izzatus , Tjiptady Bella Cornelia
Published: January 2024

Body armor is personal protective equipment or shield clothing for soldiers that has existed since Roman times until now. The function of body armor is to protect the body from attacks by foreign objects by absorbing energy. Body armor must have ballistic resistance and stabbing resistance, however, body armor that is often found usually has a high anti-ballistic level but is low in receiving stabbing attacks. STF (Shear Thickening Fluid) is a composite material which is unique in that the viscosity level can change in a way that causes the liquid dispersion to become solid and allows for increased stabbing resistance. This research began by making Kevlar samples which were then mixed with STF and then subjected to tensile testing to obtain material properties that were useful for simulating with FEM. The simulation is intended to analyze the rate of energy absorption that occurs in the sample. The results show that the kinetic energy absorption rate of the bullet is absorbed at a viscosity of 87%. The small energy that occurs is also absorbed in the form of frictional resistance with a value of 11.9%. The identified comparison results show that in cases 1-3 the percentage of viscosity is high so it is viscous, whereas in case 4 the direct reflection of the viscosity is low so it is close to liquid.

Intellectuals in the ruling elite political stratum of modern Russia: theoretical and applied aspects of sociological analysis
Authors: Pokatov D. V.
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the rather urgent problem of the qualitative composition of the modern elite political stratum of the Russian society and the place occupied by intellectuals in it. The article compares the categories of intelligentsia and intellectuals, which allows us to say that intellectuals are a special social layer that has a number of basic features of the intelligentsia, with the exception of the representation of many of its members with a special ethical self-determination characteristic of this group. This is largely confirmed by the analysis of biographies of 685 political figures representing the modern Russian political elite. Using the latest research on this problem and the results of his own analysis of biographies of elite members, the author comes to the conclusion that, having the necessary theoretical basis, professional characteristics (in the form of appropriate education, experience of activity) modern intellectuals in the ruling elite form layers, one of which in the ruling elite group represents more formal-technocratic stratum, however, far from the layer of technostructure described by J. Galbraith, and in the near-elite environment – the layer of formally deideologized experts.

Published: January 2024

Social networks have long become an integral part of the life of modern society. For example, in Ukraine, more than 60% of the population regularly use their functionality. For some people, pages in one or another social network have acquired commercial significance and have become a tool for generating income. There are also rare cases of buying and selling accounts or violating copyright with their help. However, the spread of inaccurate information aimed at misleading and causing serious harm is gaining momentum in social networks. Such a process is defined as “disinformation”. In addition to disinformation, the term “false information” is also distinguished. These terms are not synonymous, so they should be distinguished for the validity of the study. Misrepresentation is information that contains inaccurate information resulting from errors, but the term does not include the intent to mislead. In turn, the term “disinformation”, on the contrary, is created for the purpose of deliberately spreading false information with the aim of misleading others. In recent years, the topic of disinformation, as well as its consequences, has attracted a lot of attention. Although disinformation is not a new phenomenon, technological advances have created the perfect environment for its rapid spread. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube create fertile ground for the creation and dissemination of misinformation and false information. This makes it important to research how social media works, how fake news is created and spread through social media, and what role users play. The study examines social media as a platform for spreading misinformation. Consideration of the problem of user interaction with news in social networks complements the problem of fake news by considering the problem of user interaction with news and collaboration in the information age. For the reliability of the research, the concepts of misinformation and false information were considered. A comprehensive review of existing approaches to detecting fake news from the point of view of machine learning is given. Machine learning based classification algorithms play a very important role in detecting fake news or rumors in social media, which is a very complex and difficult process due to various political, socio-economic and many other related factors. This review covers various machine learning approaches such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), linear regression, k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Method (SVM), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), artificial neural networks and many others.
MODEL OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Kharchenko Oleksandr , Yaremych Valentyn
Published: January 2024

The article distinguishes the classification of types and forms of e-commerce depending on the relations between the parties involved, as well as on the types of enterprises carrying out commercial activities. The analyzed studies of the correlation between the transition to electronic commerce and the growth of the productivity of the economic entity allowed us to conclude that there is no single approach to the impact of the introduction of information and communication technologies on the results of the enterprise. The technological factors of e-commerce implementation at small and medium-sized enterprises are considered, including: organizational flexibility, external pressure, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The model of technological implementation of electronic commerce is based on the research of K. Fleisher, which analyzes such important aspects of the business entity's activity as: technological, which characterizes the firm, existing and future technologies; organizational, which refers to the size of the firm and its field of activity, organizational structure and internal resources, environmental aspect, which refers to the area where the company exists, which refers to industries, competitors and existing relations with the government. The model is supplemented with such elements as the use of electronic data exchange, relationships with business partners, obstacles and risks. The question of the process of implementing e-commerce is considered from a practical point of view as an important competitive tool for domestic companies, which is increasingly characterized by the absence of borders, internationalization and the so-called "technological liquidity". The essential reasons for the introduction of electronic commerce technologies by domestic enterprises are highlighted. The value chain process in e-commerce is considered. A value chain is a business model that describes a company by breaking down a series of activities that add value or cost at each stage of the process. It was noted that large companies show a greater tendency to develop fragmented value chains without an adequate industrial relations system depending on their business model. There are large differences in the assessment of the impact of the introduction of e-commerce on the labor market
ENHANCED CRYPTOGRAPHIC SECURITY OF AGGREGATED DIGITAL SIGNATURES THROUGH UTILIZATION OF A UNIFIED AUTHENTICATION FRAMEWORK
Authors: Chubaievskyi Vitalii , Lutska Nataliia , Savchenko Tetyana , Vlasenko Lidiia , Synelnyk Kyrylo
Published: January 2024

The significance of this research lies in safeguarding user information and data against unauthorized alterations and destruction. Throughout the study, key aspects were explored, including user identification and authen-tication methods, cryptographic authentication protocols, digital signature properties, and strategies to enhance the cryptographic robustness of digital signatures. These strategies involved scrutinizing authentication methods using the Saati technique and the RSA algorithm. The analysis revealed that the attributes employed for digital signature recognition are highly resistant to replication, and the verification process is notably efficient. The height-ened cryptographic resilience of the electronic signature achieved through the RSA algorithm stems from the incorporation of a public key certificate. Consequently, a larger encryption key size corresponds to heightened sys-tem reliability and electronic digital signature security. While the utiliza-tion of the RSA algorithm results in encrypted text that is approximately 10 times larger than the original, its stability is comparatively increased.
Sedimentology, T-R sequence stratigraphy and geochemical characterization of sedimentary successions of the West and Central African Rift System, Koum Basin
Authors: Agbor-Taku Junior , Njoh Olivier Anoh , Fon Nicoline Ngum , Bessong Moise
Published: January 2024

The Koum Basin (KB) is among the numerous relatively unexplored sedimentary basins lining theWCARS(West and Central African Rift System), hence limiting the understanding of how sedimentation evolved along the full extent of the WCARS. The intensification of petroleum exploration within WCARS has further emphasized the need to study these greenfields. This study contributes in solving the above issue by establishing a sequence stratigraphic framework and expanding the sedimentological databank of the KB. Systematic fieldmapping and lithofacies analyses of theKB along three NNW-SSE traverse lines cross-cutting the basin exposed alternations of conglomerates, sandstones and shales, intercalated by siltstones and carbonate mudstones. Dinosaur, bivalve and plant fossils are common. X-Ray Fluorescence data of studied samples plot as non-marine, immature, low to moderately weathered shales and greywackes of intermediate to felsic igneous and quartzose sedimentary sources. Sedimentation occurred under oxic, through anoxic to dysoxic depositional conditions, in a semi-arid active continental margin. These deposits inferred to be fluvio-lacustrine, have been subjected to outcrop-based sequence stratigraphic analyses through section matching and correlation of its material-based sequence stratigraphic surfaces, following the Transgressive-Regressive sequence stratigraphic model. The deposits have been subdivided into five repetitive T-R sequence stratigraphic units, bounded by four first order unconformities (SB-1, SB-4, SB-5 and SB-6) and two correlative conformities (SB-2 and SB-3), representing deposition under repetitive base level rise and fall regimes. These results demonstrate that any potentialmarine incursion in the WCARS probably did not reach the Koum Basin.

Today, our lifestyle revolves around digital devices powered by microprocessors of different instruction set architectures (ISA). Among them, the most common are x86 and ARM, the brainpower of our computers and smartphones. Reduced instruction set computing (RISC) is the basis of ARM architecture, designed to offer greater energy efficiency. On the other hand, principles of complex instruction set computing (CISC) are utilized by x86 processors, which handle heavier computing tasks while being more power-hungry. The rise of smartphones over a decade has changed the laptop market. It also influenced customers towards ARM-based energy-efficient laptops. This transition in the computing segment is seen not only in consumers but also in commercial settings, especially data centers. Usually, data centers are designed to operate 24/7, where energy is a big concern. So, ARM chips have started making their way to cloud servers. This paper comprehensively analyzes and compares the ARM and x86 architectures to unravel the factors contributing to ARM's increasing dominance in the market. It also explores the impact of smartphones on the laptop market and assesses the significance of system-on-a-chip (SoC). Focusing on the proper utilization of energy and sustainability, our paper offers valuable insights into the growing trend of adopting ARM processors in the computing industry.

THE YAMAMBA-LIKE CHARACTERISTICS OF “GAGOOL” THE OLD HAG IN RIDER HAGGARD’S KING SOLOMON’S MINES
Authors: EKMEKÇİ Çelik
Published: January 2024

Yamamba is an old hag who lives in the mountain or forest in Japanese creation myth. Yamamba’s most threatening characteristics are her avenging side and her fearful trait that cause terror mostly among men. Therefore, Yamamba is mostly known for her anthropophagus qualities that make her a terrifyingly evil woman. Based on this Japanese myth, it is also possible to see the same Yamamba-topos in Western literature. In Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines (1885), Gagool the old hag also has Yamamba-like characteristics that not only does she live in the mountain as an evil force but also threatens men by causing calamities and producing monstrosities. Therefore, Gagool the old witch in Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines can be considered an evil woman having notorious Yamamba traits. In this study, Gagool’s Yamamba-like features will be scrutinized to discuss her dreadful existence as a devouring witch. It is also within the purpose of this study to illustrate how Eastern folklore influences Western literature greatly and plays a significant role in constructing a ravenous old woman image to deconstruct the male authority and power.
