Law Number 11/2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System in Overcoming Street Crime "Klitih" in Yogyakarta City
Authors: Isnawan Fuadi
Published: March 2024

Street crime by teenagers in the city of Yogyakarta is evolving in its motives, it is no longer a matter of gangs between schools but has expanded beyond that. The motives also vary, from just a whim to show their strength to the intention to show their strength by hurting other innocent people. The Yogyakarta City Police have taken decisive action, they have made various preventive and repressive efforts to tackle street crime, but it is not enough to minimize the existence of these crimes. This paper will examine the factors that hinder the police from tackling street crimes and how to make teenagers aware of them. This writing is done in an empirical juridical manner to review the two things that are used as topics in this paper. The results obtained include the use of the Juvenile Criminal Justice system which is less able to prevent street crimes committed by adolescents in Yogyakarta City, because it is like a double-edged knife which means that the imposition of punishment must pay attention to the best interests of the child, while what is done has posed a threat and even caused real victims. Things that can be done to overcome can be done intensive counseling in schools about it. The suggestion given to overcome street crime is to be a little firmer in sanctions so that the function of the criminal law itself can protect people and provide a deterrent effect for the perpetrators.

To be able to achieve this goal, this article is written using the library research method, this article has three problems that will be discussed later, namely, what is meant by cultivating humanity, understanding multicultural fiqh, and how Islamic law efforts in increasing cultivate humanity Indonesian society according to the perspective of multicultural fiqh. In general, many researchers emphasize observations on general problems, while the problems written in this article have not been raised as objects of research before. So, this article is considered necessary to be made as a first step in reviewing the above problems. The topic of this problem is interesting to discuss because there are not many journal articles that discuss cultivating humanity in the scope of multiculturalism and multicultural fiqh, most previous researchers discussed general discussions and only focused on conflict management and education. This article provides new ideas on efforts to increase cultivating humanity in Indonesian society which highly upholds cultural heritage values but is associated with multicultural fiqh in solving issues that occur amid society.
From Ottoman Outreach to Modern Connections: Türkiye-Malaysia Relations
Authors: Tekin Alaeddin , Islam Arshad
Published: March 2024

Southeast Asia was known to the classical Islamic world as a region of trade and burgeoning local Muslim communities from the earliest decades of the Islamic era. By the 16th century direct diplomatic connections were established between the local communities and the Ottoman Caliphate and this significant historical relationship is crucial for understanding the dynamics between the Western and Eastern Islamic worlds. Relations persisted until the First World War, after which the Republic of Türkiye emerged as the successor to the Ottoman Empire and interactions were more limited until Malaysia’s independence in 1957, after which a new phase of relations began, and by the 1990s, the relationship between Malaysia and Türkiye had rebounded. This study aims to explore the historical and contemporary relations between Turks and Malays based on primary sources, including Ottoman and Turkish archives, as well as Bahasa Melayu and English materials.

Authors: Hecht Helge , Rojas Wudmir Y. , Ahmad Zargham , Křenek Aleš , Klánová Jana , Price Elliott J.
Published: March 2024

There is a lack of experimental electron ionization high-resolution mass spectra available to assist compound identification. The in silico generation of mass spectra by quantum chemistry can aid annotation workflows, in particular to support the identification of compounds that lack experimental reference spectra, such as environmental chemicals. We present an open-source, semi-automated workflow for the in silico prediction of electron ionization high-resolution mass spectra based on the QCxMS software. The workflow was applied to predict the spectra of 367 environmental chemicals and accuracy evaluated by comparison to experimental reference spectra acquired. The molecular flexibility, number of rotatable bonds and number of electronegative atoms of a compound were negatively correlated with prediction accuracy. Few analytes are predicted to sufficient accuracy for the direct application of predicted spectra in spectral matching workflows. The m/z values of the top 5 most abundant ions of predicted spectra rarely match ions in experimental spectra, evidencing the disconnect between simulated fragmentation pathways and empirical reaction mechanisms.

Delving into Theoretical and Computational Considerations for Accurate Calculation of Chemical Shifts in Paramagnetic Transition Metal Systems using Quantum Chemical Methods
Authors: Islam Ashraful , Pell Andrew
Published: March 2024

The chemical shielding tensor for a paramagnetic system has been derived from the macroscopically observed magnetization using the perturbation theory. An approach to calculate the paramagnetic chemical shifts in transition metal systems based on the spin-only magnetic susceptibility directly evaluated from the ab initio Hilbert space of the electronic Zeeman Hamiltonian has been discussed. Computationally, several advantages are associated with this approach: (a) it includes the state-specific paramagnetic Curie (firstorder) and Van Vleck (second-order) contributions of the paramagnetic ion to the paramagnetic chemical shifts; (b) thus it avoids the system-specific modeling and evaluating effectively in terms of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin Hamiltonian parameters of the magnetic moment of the paramagnetic ion formulated previously; (c) it can be utilized both in the point-dipole (PD) approximation (in the longrange) and with the quantum chemical (QC) method based the hyperfine tensors (in the short-range). Additionally, we have examined the predictive performance of various DFT functionals of different families and commonly used core-augmented basis sets for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts. A selection of transition metal ion complexes with and without first-order orbital contributions, namely the [M(AcPyOx)3(BPh)]+ complexes of M=Mn2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ ions and CoTp2 complex and their reported NMR chemical shifts are studied from QC methods for illustration.

Our study explores the current state of machine learning (ML) as applied to predicting and designing organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. We outline key considerations for selecting the method of encoding a molecular structure and selecting the algorithm while also emphasizing important aspects of training and rigorously evaluating ML models. This work presents the first dataset of OPV device fabrication data mined from the literature. The top models achieve state-of-the-art predictive performance. In particular, we identify an algorithm that is used less frequently, but may be particularly well suited to similar datasets. However, predictive performance remains modest (R2 ≅ 0.6) overall. An in-depth analysis of the dataset attributes this limitation to challenges relating to the size of the dataset, as well as data quality and sparsity. These aspects are directly tied to difficulties imposed by current reporting and publication practices. Advocating for standardized reporting of OPV device fabrication data reporting in publications emerges as crucial to streamline literature mining and foster ML adoption. This comprehensive investigation emphasizes the critical role of both data quantity and quality, and highlights the need for collective efforts to unlock ML's potential to drive advancements in OPV.
Nexus between Islamic bank decomposed financing and agriculture output growth in Pakistan
Authors: Yasmin Sadia , Ayaz Mohammad
Published: March 2024

Purpose: This study fills that gap by dividing Islamic finance into consumer financing (ICF) and producer financing (IPF) and assessing their quadratic role in agricultural productivity in Pakistan employing quarterly data from 2010 Q1 to 2020 Q4. We will also estimate a threshold point for each financing category. Methodology: This study has used auto-regressive distributive lag (ARDL) with quadratic specifications, which is based on quantitative time series analysis. Additionally, the nonlinear effect of Islamic financing is visualized by plotting the predicted coefficients. Findings: This research showed a u-shape profile for a quadratic model of IPF confirming the hypothesis of ’more finance, more growth’, whereas an inverted u-shape profile for the quadratic model of ICF confirming the hypothesis ’too much finance’. Empirical findings indicate that additional finance is not necessarily desirable, and highlighted that a ‘Threshold’ level is more important to facilitate agriculture output growth in Pakistan. Originality: This study adds to the body of knowledge regarding the threshold impact of Islamic financing on agricultural productivity. Policy Implications: One of the key implications to policymakers is to reconsider Islamic financing policies to contribute significantly to Pakistan’s growth process.

Published: March 2024

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a decision-based approach that involves optimizing the pest population below the economic threshold by the coordinated use of multiple tactics in an economically and environmentally sound manner. The adoption of IPM in farming practices prevents long-term pest damage by combining biological control, modification of cultural practices, habitual manipulation, and use of resistant varieties. In Nepal, mostly in hilly regions, haphazard chemical pesticide application has inevitable effects on human health, the environment, and the ecosystem. The haphazard chemical pesticide application in Sindhupalchok, Nepal originated mostly due to a knowledge gap in the identification of the stages of the lifecycle of pests, and the distinction between beneficial and harmful insects.  To compare the effectiveness of management practices between IPM adopters and non-adopters this study was framed for six months in Sangachokgadi municipality, Sindhupalchok, Nepal.  The knowledge gap among the maize growers in Sindhupalchok was assessed using both primary and secondary data collection methods. For primary data collection a comprehensive and structured questionnaire, face-to-face interview, phone call interview, and Key Informant Interview was conducted. Similarly, secondary data was collected from various articles and publications from Maize Zone, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD), Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC), and National Maize Research Program (NMRP). The collected data were then analyzed (descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and indexing) by using computer software packages i.e., Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26, and Microsoft Excel 2010. The analyzed data revealed maize growers adopting IPM practices for crop management are known to have significantly better knowledge of the life cycle of pests, were able to distinguish between beneficial and harmful insects, and had knowledge of appropriate fertilizer doses.  Further, the findings revealed IPM adopters had better knowledge of chemical pesticide handling which could minimize the chemical hazards among the farmers.

Plant genetic resources are critical for maintaining global biodiversity and ensuring food security. However, these resources face threats from factors such as habitat loss and climate change, with approximately 22% of plant species estimated to be at risk of extinction. To address this issue, both natural and biotechnological methods are being developed to preserve plant genetic resources, with germplasm being a key component. Germplasm contains the complete genetic information of a plant and can be stored for extended periods and replicated as required. The objective of this study is to emphasize the importance of preserving germplasm of endangered or near-extinct plant species through in situ and ex situ conservation methods. In situ conservation involves conserving species in their natural environment, while ex situ conservation includes using gene-seed banks and tissue culture to store genetic resources. These methods are crucial for maintaining genetic diversity and preventing the loss of valuable plant resources. The study highlights the various ex situ conservation methods, including cryopreservation, pollen and DNA banks, farmer's fields, botanic gardens, genetic reserves, and slow-growing cultures, which are essential for preserving germplasm. Gene banks worldwide currently hold over 7.4 million accessions of crop genetic resources, demonstrating the value of germplasm conservation efforts. Additionally, understanding the phenotypic and genetic characterization of related species is crucial for identifying endangered or vulnerable species that can diversify into new varieties or subspecies. In conclusion, prioritizing germplasm conservation efforts is crucial for meeting future demands while preserving endangered or vulnerable species. This will ensure that plant genetic resources remain available for future generations and that agricultural innovation can effectively address global food security challenges.

Published: March 2024

Onion (Allium cepa L.) is the second most produced vegetable globally, following tomato and plays a vital role in both cuisines and daily diets. However, the threat of diseases, such as purple blotch caused by Alternaria porri, poses a substantial risk to onion production, particularly in Nyeri County, Kenya. Despite its critical impact on farming, there is a lack of information on farmers' knowledge of purple blotch in this region. This study aimed to assess the onion farming practices and farmers' understanding of purple blotch disease across various agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Nyeri County. Specifically, the study examines farmers' demographics, cultivated onion varieties, and their knowledge of purple blotch disease. Farms were selected using cluster random sampling. Data were collected from 100 onion farmers through semi-structured questionnaires, and statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test in Scientific Analysis System (SAS) version 9.4 at α=0.05. The findings revealed that while the Rucet F1 onion variety was popular among the farmers (52%), there is no significant association (X2 (6, 100) = 11.947, p = 0.063) between the choice of variety and AEZs. Similarly, the preferred source of onion seeds, mainly Agroshop (84%), showed insignificant association (X2 (9, 100) = 7.153, p = 0.621) with AEZs. Despite 65% of farmers reporting knowledge about onion diseases, there is no significant association (p > 0.05) between their awareness of purple blotch and AEZs. In conclusion, the study highlights a significant gap in farmers' understanding of purple blotch disease, emphasizing the need for training programs to enhance disease identification skills. Early detection can empower farmers to implement proactive measures, ultimately improving onion productivity. This study recommends diversifying onion varieties for disease resilience, promoting awareness and training on purple blotch identification, engaging women and youths in farming, and fostering collaborative networks for ongoing knowledge exchange and improvement in onion cultivation in Nyeri County.

Color symbolism in the blazoning of national heraldry (linguistic and cultural aspects)
Authors: Vorkachev S.G. , Vorkacheva E.A.
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the semantics and role of color symbols in the verbal description of national heraldry, and its relevance is due to the current trend towards an increase in the number of independent states with their own national symbols. The objectives of the research include determining the semiotic specificity of the color symbol, establishing the object prototypes motivating this symbol and identifying new concepts and ideals symbolized in modern national heraldry with the help of color. The study was carried out on the material of the state emblems of countries united by a common language of blazoning, using the technique of analyzing color images. It has been established that in color symbolism there are two types of semiotic units: symbols in which the image refers to some natural standard of color that motivates color, and symbols in which the connection between the expression and the content planes of the semiotic formation turns out to be conventional and conditioned exclusively by cultural tradition. In most cases, the appearance in national heraldry of a particular color or shade of the latter is determined by the taste preferences of the compiler of the coat of arms, but sometimes the symbolic meaning of the color in the blazon is explicitly stated. The content plane of color symbols, which receive an explicit interpretation in state heraldry, is represented both by specific objects, which act here as prototypes motivating the symbol, and by concepts of one or another level of abstraction, and the connection of these concepts with color is not figuratively motivated in any way and is determined exclusively by cultural traditions. The medieval list of secular and Christian virtues, to which the main heraldic colors refer, is supplemented by modern concepts and ideals in the state heraldry of today. At the same time, the black color as a symbol of sadness and mourning does not appear in state heraldry, and there is no purple color in the studied national heraldry. The results of the study lead to the conclusion that the color symbolism reflects the national, cultural and linguistic specificity of the countries that own the state emblem.
Linguacultural assimilation of borrowings in the оnline media discourse as manifestation of glocalization processes
Authors: Radbil T.B.
Published: March 2024

The work analyzes some innovative phenomena in the Russian language as a manifestation of glocalization in the online media discourse. The article focuses on the phenomenon of linguacultural assimilation of borrowings, which consists in the lexical, word-formation, grammatical and linguapragmatic transformation of root or affix elements of foreign language origin in accordance with the original Russian models of language implementation of lexemes, word forms and pragmemes. This assimilation process reflects the principles of the linguistic conceptualization of the world characteristic of a particular nation. The purpose of the study is to describe the current linguistic, communicative, pragmatic, cognitive and discursive features of this process in the Russian online media discourse. The research is based on the principles of the cognitive and discursive approach, methods of integrative analysis of Internet communication, as well as on the ideas of pragmalinguistic description of the emotional and evaluative sphere of language signs. The language data of the newspaper corpus in the Russian National Corpus is analyzed. The features of acculturation of borrowings at the lexical and semantic, formal and grammatical levels of the language are described. Particular attention is paid to communicative and pragmatic cultural russification of foreign language elements, which lies in the fact that words with a foreign language component at a certain stage of their functioning expand the possible areas of use, going beyond the initially specialized area of use associated with the realities of computer technology, Internet communications and social networks. Based on the analysis of such lexemes as flud / fludit’, frend / frendit’, ban / banit’ (zabanit’), spam / spamit’ (zaspamit’), troll’ / trolit’ (zatrollit’), it is concluded that the reflexes of the language expansion of new formations with a foreign language component considered in the work contribute to increasing the expressive and linguacreative potential of the Russian language.

In this study, the relationships between 100-day of partial milk yield and 270-day of additive and total milk yield of buffaloes according to different parity were investigated. A total of 697 lactation records belonging to 135 heads of buffalo and seven lactations were used in the material. The relationships between the animals' 100-day partial milk yield for 270-day and total milk yield were analyzed for seven lactations. In the study, 100-day milk yield was taken as an independent variable, 270-day and total milk yields as dependent variables, and possible relationships were determined according to simple and multiple linear regression analysis methods. The average lactation period was 256.74 ± 2.61 days, the average 270-day additive milk yield was 2078 ± 65.26 litres and the average total milk yield was 1831 ± 89.57 litres. The daily average milk yields were 7.69 ± 0.11 and 7.08 ± 0.07 liters for 270-day and 100-day respectively. The correlation coefficients were calculated for each parity and calculated as 0.901 (p < 0.01) between the 100-day and 270-day additive yield for the general group. The simple and multiple linear regression equations were shown as [V270 = 470.72 + 1.737 V100 (R2 = 80.2%)], [V270 = 966.23 + 0.645 V100 + 0.001V1002 (R2 = 82.4%)] for the groups. As the parity of lactation increased, it was seen that the determination coefficients were increased. Finally, predicting the total lactation yield by using 100-day of partial milk yield has the highest accuracy.

In underdeveloped and/or developing countries, garbage is often randomly piled up in open areas. This method has been used to dispose of garbage/solid waste in Turkey for many years. Although pollution is not at the forefront in Bingöl province, the area located in the city center of the city has been used as a wild garbage storage area for approximately 18 years. Since the garbage in the area poses a danger to people and the environment, this area has become inactive with the establishment of a new solid waste disposal facility in the city. There are plants that have adapted to this area, which has been empty for about ten years. In this study, it was tried to determine in what proportions and organs the plant species distributed in the area accumulate heavy metals that may have come from garbage leachate. Plants identified in the field; Alyssum simplex, Cirsium libanoticum, Descurainia sophia, Fumaria asepala, Fumaria officinalis, Matricaria chamomilla, Papaver dubium, Scrophularia canina, Trifolium repens and Ziziphora capitata species. Fe, Cr, As, Cd and Pb concentrations (mg kg-1) of these species were measured in root, stem, leaf and flower organs and translocation factors (TF) were calculated for these species. In conclusion; Alyssum simplex, Cirsium libanoticum and Fumaria asepala for Fe, Cirsium libanoticum, Fumaria asepala, Fumaria officinalis and Matricaria chamomilla Cr and As, Cirsium libanoticum, Papaver dubium and Scrophularia canina for Cd and all other species except Alyssum simplex and Scrophularia canina for Pb translocation factors (TF) were found to be greater than 1 (TF>1). The accumulation potential of these species is thought to be promising so that they can be evaluated in phytoremediation.

Published: March 2024

In this generation, high-speed communication has very demanding. In this respect, optical communication plays a crucial role in meeting the goal of high-speed communication. With the increasing demands of high-speed communication, huge data processing is also needed. Therefore, we have proposed a design of XOR and XNOR gates using five reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA). Our proposed gates are dibit logic-based. To increase the reliability of the devise, we have incorporated this logic scheme. Here, we consider the logic state ‘0’ for the absence of pulse and logic state ‘1’ for the presence of pulse. The dibit logic ‘0 1’ and ‘1 0’ are similar as ‘0’ and ‘1’ in digtal states, respectively. To check its practical feasibility, we have simulated the proposed design in Matlabsoftware and also quality factor, contrast, and extinction ratios are calculated for this design.

Published: March 2024

In this research work, Hetero-structure Junction-less MOSFET having a Silicon-Germanium source and high-k inner corner spacer is proposed and investigated. In this article, we have shown that the introduction of a high-k dielectric material in the inner corner spacer and a low-k dielectric material in the rest of the spacer in the optimally designed device leads to a substantial reduction in parasitic capacitances, resulting in higher operating speed. It was also shown that proper doping in the drain-source underlaps regime, can improve the short channel performance (SCP) of the device by increasing the effective gate length. The optimally designed proposed device produces on current (ION) ~0.33 mA and off current (IOFF) ~ 5.55 fA along with ION/IOFF=6.08x1010, Subthreshold slope (SS)=59.6 mV/decade and drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL)=82.2 mV/V. This paper also highlights the performance improvement of the proposed device in terms of both speed and energy consumption, as compared to that of Junctionless Double Gate MOSFET when implemented as logic gates.
