The Role of Artificial Intelligence on Emerging Technologies & Society
Authors: Puranik Dr. Gurusiddayya S.
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the current emerging technologies. In the history of computing AI has been in the similar role earlier - almost every decade since the 1950s, when the programming language Lisp was invented and used to implement self modifying applications. The second time that AI was described as one of the frontier technologies was in the 1970s, when Expert Systems (ES)were developed Currently in the 2010s, AI is again on the frontier in the form of (self-)learning systems manifesting in robot applications, smart hubs, intelligent data analytic s, etc. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important technology that supports daily social life and economic activities. It contributes greatly to the sustainable growth of Indian’s economy and solves various social problems. Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of a computer or a computer-enabled robotic system to process information and produce outcomes in a manner similar to the thought process of humans in learning, decision making and solving problems (Intelligence, 2017). By extension, the goal of AI systems is to develop systems capable of tacking complex problems in ways similar to human logic and reasoning.

Published: March 2024

Kehadiran musik digital menandai adanya perubahan dominasi rekaman musik konvensional. Secara perlahan menggantikan peran-peran media konvensional mulai dari proses produksi, distribusi, hingga konsumsi. Spotify sebagai layanan streaming musik pun turut merayakan kontestasi ini untuk mewujudkan praktik kapitalismenya. Riset ini merupakan sebuah studi deskriptif kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk melihat praktik komodifikasi atensi audiens yang dilakukan oleh Spotify. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi partisipan selama 3 bulan, dan menggunakan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, terdapat tigas isu wacana kuasa dalam industri musik digital. Sementara praktik komodifikasi atensi audiens yang dilakukan oleh Spotify memperlihatkan bahwa Spotify melakukan komersialisasi dengan menjadikan para penggunanya yakni musisi dan pendengar sebagai pekerjanya. Interaksi yang terbentuk antara musisi dan pendengar di Spotify diakumulasikan menjadi data numerik yang kemudian dijual ke pengiklan demi menghasilkan keuntungan. Sehingga dalam hal ini, Spotify menjadi pihak yang paling diuntungkan sebab hanya berperan sebagai mediator yang memberikan jasa atau servis penyedia streaming musik digital.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami bagaimana pengawasan implementasi peraturan diseminasi informasi publik terkait covid-19 kepada publik yang dilakukan oleh regulator dan lembaga pengawas, karena pendekatan yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif, dengan teori terapan komunikasi krisis oleh Ludragen dan McMakin dengan asumsi teori mereka (1) Menentukan persepsi pemangku kepentingan dari berbagai faktor termasuk risiko,  organisasi yang bertanggung jawab mengelola risiko, dan proses yang digunakan untuk mencapai keputusan (2) Menginformasikan, tidak membujuk (kecuali dalam konteks negosiasi yang disepakati) (3) Menyeimbangkan kebutuhan pemangku kepentingan yang bersaing (4) Membantu dalam mencapai resolusi yang semua pihak dapat hidup dengannya. Hasilnya menemukan bahwa pengawasan memang telah dilakukan dan terdapat sanksi diberikan bagi mereka pelanggar peraturan yang telah diregulasikan baik oleh Lembaga pengawasan seperti KPI maupun KOMINFO. Sejak awal, diseminasi informasi publik terkait covid-19 telah dimandatkan oleh Presiden RI bahwa agar informasi harus berasal dari satu pintu, namun dalam pelaksanaannya informasi dari satu pintu ini terbentur dengan kondisi demografis kasus covid-19 tiap daerah, dimana informasi terbagikan tak selalu sesuai kebutuhan maupun kendala dihadapi oleh pemerintah daerah, ditambah lagi masyarakat selaku publik banyak yang telah kehilangan kepercayaan terhadap Lembaga yang mendiseminasikan informasi  publik serta kurangnya kemampuan dalam mencerna informasi tersebut.

Finance, infrastructure and national space: from productive integration to the neoextractivist disintegration of the nation
Authors: Yassu Alexandre Mitsuro da Silveira , Klink Jeroen Johannes
Published: March 2024

Over the past five decades, the promotion of competitive spatial fragments linked to the primary-export sectors, herein called neoextractivist segments, has brought about a restructuring of the national space, generating a tendency toward a fragmentation of the national space. In this article, we contribute with a critical, updated reading of this fragmentation process of the national space, from an understanding of how the State, infrastructure, finance, and Neoextractivism have been articulated in the capitalist development both in general and in Brazil, thus revealing new dynamics and structures of territorial control and wealth extraction. The agents linked to these dynamics and structures have formed a neoextractivist coalition of disintegration that acts to operate in maintaining and broadening primary-export activities, thereby reinforcing the nation's tendency toward fragmentation.

Authors: Ardinata I Putu Riska , Setiawan Putu Yudhistira Budi , Hita Putu Gede Adi Purwa
Published: March 2024

Background: In diabetic conditions, decreased glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity results in reduced nitric oxide synthesis. Reduced nitric oxide synthesis results in the production of ROS. This may impede the processes of angiogenesis and vasoconstriction and prolong inflammation. Objective: We were interested in investigating the mechanism by which 20% of Anredera scandens leaves extract ointment increases fibrogenesis activity because this condition can affect the development of damaged skin tissue. This study's design is a post-test-only laboratory experiment. Material and methods: The study employed male Sprague dawley strain rats that were induced with 40 mg/kgBW of STZ. The mice were divided into four groups: the negative group (which got diabetic wounds only), the positive group (which got Gentamicin ointment), and the test group (which got 20% extract ointment). Results: The skin tissue from each group was then examined histopathologically. After receiving 20% ointment of Anredera scandens leaves extract, the test group's mean fibrogenesis histopathology score on day 14 was significantly higher (P=0.022) at 3.75 than that of the negative group, which had a mean score of 2.75. Following that, the skin tissue of both the extract test group and the normal group was examined histopathologically. In comparison to the normal group mean score of 4.0 on day 14, the test group, which received 20% ointment of Anredera scandens leaves extract, had a non-significant (P=0.317) mean fibrogenesis histopathology score of 3.75. Subsequently, skin tissue was examined histopathologically for both the positive and normal groups. According to the results, on day 14, the positive group's average fibrogenesis histopathology score was 3.5, while the normal group's average score was 4.0. This difference was not statistically significant (P=0.127). Conclusions: Thus, it can be said that 20% Anredera scandens leaf extract ointment is comparable to gentamicin ointment in its capacity to promote fibrogenesis activity in diabetic wounds.

Authors: Tijs Ham
Published: March 2024

This supportive narrative is connected to the graduation project 'The Institute of Constrained Chaos' (TIOCC) which investigates the use of chaotic processes in order to enhance musical expression of a live electronics performance. Inspired by the chaotic, expressive, musical power of overblown brass instruments, the project aims to develop a live electronics performance that utilizes a combination of new and existing hardware and software such as no-input mixing, circuit bending, digital signal processing and sensor based controlling to create an instrument that navigates the musical edges between order and chaos. The project has resulted in a ten minute improvised performance in collaboration with Bart van Gemert, a drummer, as part of a concert series organized and executed by a group of HKU graduate students operating under the name 'Custom Made Music' (CMM). Through many tryout concerts and several iterations of the instrument it can be concluded that the use of chaotic processes can enrich the expressive musicality of a live electronics performance.
Enhancing pedagogical strategies through technology integration in basic teacher education program
Authors: Mpuangnan Kofi
Published: March 2024

This study investigated enhancing pedagogical strategies through technology integration in basic teacher education programs. It sheds light on its significant influence on both educational management and instructional approaches. The investigation centred on experiences within Ghana's College of Education (CoE), contributing insights that align with the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal 4. A mixed-method approach was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The participants of the study consisted of 485 participants (469 tutors and 16 principals) selected from sixteen colleges by using cluster and simple random sampling techniques. Quantitative data were gathered by employing a structured questionnaire, while qualitative data were acquired through semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data underwent analysis using both descriptive and inferential statistics, while the qualitative data were subjected to an inductive analysis approach. The results revealed the noteworthy influence of age, gender, higher qualifications, and professional experience of principals and instructors on technology integration in education. Furthermore, key indicators such as smartphone usage and Microsoft Office 365 tools were found to be insufficient for facilitating technology integration. This inadequacy was attributed to managerial challenges like infrastructural limitations and resistance to change. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should institute regular in-service training initiatives on technology integration. This step will empower the staff at CoE with the requisite knowledge and competencies to proficiently infuse technology in their roles.

Handbook on Plant Protection and Pesticide Management
Authors: S Sudhakar
Published: March 2024

Humans are constantly engaged in struggles against competitors and diseases. One way to gain an advantage in many of those ecological interactions is through the use of pesticides. These substances are used to protect crop plants, livestock, domestic animals and people from damage and diseases caused by microorganisms, fungi, insects, rodents and other “pests," and to defend crops from competition with unwanted but abundant “weeds”. It is important to understand that the use of words like “pest” and “weed” is highly contextual. In most situations, for example, white¬tailed deer are valued fortheir wild beauty, and they provide economic and subsistence benefits through hunting. However, this animal may also be considered a pest when it feeds in a garden, agricultural field, or forestry plantation. The same is true, to some degree, of other species that are considered to be a pest or weed. The Handbook on Plant Protection and Pesticide management is a comprehensive, reference guide to the properties, effects, and regulation of pesticides that provides the latest and most complete information .The handbook contains all the information that should be presented in the training course, together with some additional background information. The main target groups of the course are pesticide retailers and agricultural extension officers, although farmers could also be included. With the understanding of IPM provided by the course, participants should be able to understand the practical implementation of IPM in actual farm and crop situations.
Electrical, optical and structural characterization of interfaces containing poly(3-alkylthiophenes)(P3ATs) and polydiphenylamine on ITO/TiO2: Interaction between P3ATs polymeric segments and TiO2
Authors: Kubota Mayara , Fernandes Ricardo , de Santana Henrique
Published: March 2024

With the aim of studying the use of conjugated polymers poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MT), poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and polydiphenylamine (PDPA) in order to produce the active layer of inverted organic solar cells forming the interface with TiO2 and also to help shed light on the optical and electronic properties applied to develop this technology, the interfaces between films containing P3MT, P3HT and PDPA on the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode were electrochemically prepared, after chemically depositing a film of TiO2. The systems under investigation were designated ITO/TiO2/P3MT, ITO/ /TiO2/PDPA/P3MT, ITO/TiO2/PDPA, ITO/TiO2/P3HT and ITO/TiO2/PDPA/ /P3HT and characterized by Raman techniques (spectroscopy and microscopy), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photoluminescence (PL). In this study, the aromatic, semiquinone and quinone segments in the polymer matrices of P3ATs and PDPA at these interfaces were monitored and characterized by comparison with films of their homopolymers by means of Raman spectroscopy and EIS. The Raman imaging demonstrates that the P3MT film can be incorporated into the titanium oxide crystalline lattice. The systems containing P3MT or P3HT were found to strongly interact with the TiO2, stabilizing the P3AT radical cation segments and the presence of PDPA destabilized this interaction. These findings were complemented by the low-temperature (15 K) PL spectra, revealing a reduction in the intensity and displacement of the band associated with the radical cation emission, observed in the absence of TiO2 in the system under investigation.
Combustion of diesel fuel sprayed with cold or heated air in an atmospheric burner
Authors: Mukhina Mariia , Sadkin Ivan , Shadrin Evgeniy , Kopyev Evgeny
Published: March 2024

In this work the combustion characteristics of liquid hydrocarbons when atomized by a high speed air jet were studied, using diesel fuel as an example. This approach to spraying liquid fuel in combustion processes has a number of advantages over traditional spraying: the ability to supply fuel with a low degree of purification, reducing the chance of coking of fuel equipment. Using an atmospheric burner device with natural air supply into the mixing chamber, the dependences of the composition of intermediate and final combustion products were studied, and the flame temperature was measured at various fuel flow rates and parameters of the atomizing air jet (flow rate, temperature). A comparison of the obtained characteristics was made for equivalent modes at different temperatures of the supplied atomizer. It was found that when heated air is used as a sprayer, higher flame temperatures are ensured, which ensures more complete fuel burnout and a decrease in CO concentration in the flue gases, but at the same time, a slight increase in NOx was observed.

We applied a virtual questionnaire distributed in social networks to 317 university students (124 males and 193 females) from different professional careers, aged between 18 and 30 years (M=20.3; SD=2.7). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed (WLSMV estimator), and internal consistency was assessed. Result: We found four correlated factors, higher order, and bifactor, the first being the one with the best-fit indices: X2(98) = 262.63, p < .001, CFI = .97, TLI = .96, RMSEA = .07 [CI 90%; .06 - .08], SRMR = .04 and WRMR = .91. Internal consistency results using the omega coefficient are ωSEA = .81, ωOEA= .79, ωUOE= .84 and ωROE = .85. Conclusion: The WLEIS in university students in the Lambayeque region of Peru has sufficient evidence of validity and reliability to guarantee the relevance of its application.
Investment Analysis of New Fire Truck: A Case Study of Purchase or Rent Option
Authors: Wibawa Dannys Setyadi , Sukarno Subiakto
Published: March 2024

PKT, as a petrochemical company with high potential hazards, prioritizes emergency preparedness and response by complying with regulations and standards. In addition to serving its own needs, PKT’s fire and rescue department also provides emergency services to four neighboring companies through an annual fee cooperation scheme. To enhance the emergency response services, PKT conducted an evaluation and identified the need for an additional fire truck unit with up-to-date technology. To determine the most suitable option, PKT is considering purchasing or renting the new fire truck units. A financial modeling analysis was conducted using income from health and safety services. The financial feasibility analysis, considering parameters such as NPV, IRR, and discounted payback period, resulted in a feasible outcome. The Purchase option exhibited better economic value, with a predicted NPV of Rp. 569,276,495, an IRR of 11.56% (higher than the discount rate of 10.5%), and a discounted payback period of 9.35 years. Sensitivity analysis, using tornado and spider charts, revealed that the annual fee from clients or joint venture companies had the most significant impact on the project’s financial performance, followed by manpower costs. A 20% increase in annual fees led to a significant increase in NPV Rp. 6,639,013,466, while a 20% decrease resulted in a significant decrease in NPV (−Rp. 5,500,460,477). Similarly, a 20% increase in manpower costs resulted in a decreased NPV of Rp. −3,500,609,667. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the two significant factors influencing the purchase option were identified as the annual fee and manpower cost. Recommendations that are also put forward for this study are identification to anticipate increases in labor costs and to keep manpower costs under control. The increase in manpower costs must be accompanied by an increase in income. Exploring opportunities to attract additional clients, particularly companies in the industrial complex that do not yet have an agreement with PKT, is also advised. By implementing these recommendations and ensuring cost control, PKT can optimize its emergency response services and maintain a financially viable operation.
Assuring Academic Integrity of Online Testing in Fundamentals of Accounting Courses
Authors: Mulig Elizabeth , Metts Stephanie
Published: March 2024

Demand for online courses continues to grow. To remain competitive, higher education institutions must accede to this demand while ensuring that academic rigor and integrity are maintained.  The authors teach introductory Fundamentals of Financial and Managerial Accounting courses online. Previously, there was no proctoring of the exams.  Prior experience teaching these courses led the professors to suspect a high likelihood that academic integrity on these tests was low and that cheating was high.  To address academic integrity concerns, the professors utilized a remote proctoring service employing a lockdown browser with screen and webcam monitoring.  The program monitors the students remotely, recording sound, video and the information appearing on the students’ screens.  The videos are reviewed for detectable instances of breach of academic integrity prior to releasing the grades. Data was collected and analyzed for the average exam scores prior to and after the implementation of the remote proctoring software. The data analysis reveals a significant difference in the two sets of scores, with the average exam scores after the implementation of the remote proctoring being significantly lower than the ones before implementation.  These results indicate that concern about academic integrity in online test taking in the accounting curriculum is valid.

This study aims to determine the inhibitory potential of quercetin and its derivatives on the activity of Hendra virus (HeV) 6BK6 protein with its comparator N-Acetyl-D-[1-13C] Glucosamine. This research was carried out using the molecular docking method in order to obtain information related to binding affinity values, inhibition constants, and amino acid residues in the ligand-receptor hydrogen bonds. It was found that the compound quercetin 3-O-xyloside had the lowest binding affinity among the other compounds, namely -6.92 kcal/mol with an inhibition constant of 8.44 µM. In addition, there are four types of amino acid residues in the ligand-receptor hydrogen bonds including ASP304 (1,90 Å), SER301 (2,47 Å), ARG191 (3,18 Å), and MET188 (4.34 Å). In this case it can be concluded that the compound quercetin 3-O-xyloside has been shown to have the potential to inhibit the activity of the HeV 6BK6 protein.

Tesis ini bertujuan untuk  mengetahui, memahami, dan mampu menganalisa penerapan PERMA  No. 03 Tahun 2017 tentang Pedoman Mengadili Perkara Perempuan Berhadapan dengan Hukum di Pengadilan Negeri Palopo, dan  menganalisa bagaimana Kontektualisasi  teori Maqashid  Syari’ah terhadap PERMA No. 03 Tahun 2017 tentang Pedoman Mengadili Perkara Perempuan  Berhadapan dengan  Hukum di Pengadilan  Negeri Palopo.Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan Yuridis Normatif, Teologis Normatifdan Yuridis Sosiologis. Teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum yang digunakan yaitu studi pustaka, observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data penelitian, yaitu dengan menggunakan pemeriksaan data,  klasifikasi data,  verifikasi,  analisisdan terakhir pembuatan  kesimpulan. Hasil penelitan dan analisis kesimpulan yaitu:1) Penerapan PERMA No. 13 Tahun 2017 sebagai pedoman oleh para hakim dalam memeriksa dan mengadili perkara yang melibatkan perempuan agar mencegah bentuk pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dan pelecehan terhadap perempuan di Pengadilan Negeri Palopo telah diterapkan meskipun belum maksimal. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari beberapa pertanyaan yang masih ada bersifat vulgar, yakni mempertanyakan tentang historyseksualitas seorang terdakwa, namun kembali lagi ada atau tidaknya pertanyaan yang merendahkan tergantung jenis atau pilihan kata yang digunakan. 2) Kontektualisasi teori Maqashid Al-Syari’ah terhadap PERMA dapat  dilihat dengan memahami tujuan di syari’ahkannya suatu hukum yakni untuk kemaslahatan  dan menghindari kerusakan di dunia maupun di akhirat. Menjaga perlindungan harkat dan martabat perempuan di lingkup peradilan merupakan kebutuhan (Maslahah Hajiyyyat) yakni jenis kebutuhan sekunder yang tidak terpenuhinya kebutuhan ini tidak sampai mengancam kelangsungan hidupnya. Namun akan mengalami kesulitan yang mungkin berkepanjangan. Lahirnya PERMA ini diharapkan menjadi alat  terpeliharanya kejiwaan dan akal perempuan sebagaimana tujuan disyariatkannya suatu hukum .
PROBLEMATIKA BAYI TABUNG

As technology gets more advanced the more Islamic law is in need to regulate it. The use of technology must be in accordance with the provisions of Sharia, or at least not contrary to it, as such in the issue of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and related matters. Furthermore, technological advances are used by people to facilitate and help them live dignified lives. This research concludes that the use of technology, especially in the field of health, must pay attention to religious rules, morals, manners in general, and should not degenerate human dignity. The utilization of IVF technology is required only by people who are scientifically and religiously trusted. In its implementation and development, it needs to be closely monitored by the government, religious organizations, especially the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), academicians, and the general public. There are several problems arising from IVF, such as first, an IVF after a divorce, which in this case Islamic Scholars agreed to state the process as haram (forbidden). Second, freezing embryo, sperm, or ovum, in this case, some Islamic Scholars permit it under the condition that there is a real benefit that can be derived from it and it should be devoid from any misuse. Third, related to the act of destroying the remaining embryo, in this case, it must be tried so that there is no remaining embryo in the process. Even if there is, it can be stored or left to die naturally.
