Business analysis survey of independent campus entrepreneurship through exploration of interests, opportunities and challenges for students at the faculty of teacher training and education Khairun University
Authors: Fatma Hamid  , Sundari  , Aswal Salewangeng
Published: October 2023

Universities as institutions producing graduates have the task of providing competency provisions to students. The number of college graduates has increased significantly over time, while the absorption capacity of the job market is very small. As a result, the open unemployment rate in Indonesia is quite high, reaching 9 - 10% and this includes the educated unemployed, university alumni. To overcome the high level of educated unemployment, it is deemed necessary to foster entrepreneurship among students. There are five main essences in entrepreneurship, namely: (1) a strong desire to work independently, have brilliant ideas, and be optimistic in trying, developing new, unique ideas, of interest to many people, especially in the economic field; (2) the ability to take risks and make decisions; (3) willingness to think and act creatively and innovatively; (4) willingness to work carefully, diligently and productively; (5) work with a spirit of togetherness and healthy business ethics. This research aims for the long term to produce an independent campus business/entrepreneurship model at Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Khairun University. The short-term goal is to produce recommendations regarding student entrepreneurship on independent campuses. This research method consists of 2 stages, namely: stage 1) survey of the independent campus entrepreneurship model; stage 2) is dissemination and policy recommendations related to the development of student entrepreneurship on independent campuses, especially Faculty of Teacher Training and Education Khairun University. The research results show that students at Faculty of Teacher Training and Education have an interest in entrepreneurship and have quite strong self-efficacy as young entrepreneurs with an average presentation of 83%. The resulting recommendation is that there is a need for intensive coaching for students to understand and be able to entrepreneurship in accordance with the interests and needs of the times, namely digital entrepreneurship.

ISLAMIC SOCIAL FINANCE ECOSYSTEM AND THE ROLE OF CROWDFUNDING: A PROPOSED MODEL
Authors: ABIDULLAH KHAN  , RADITYA SUKMANA  , ABID MAHMOOD
Published: October 2023

Social finance is a naïve concept in the mainstream of social entrepreneurial and finance literature. Particularly, in Islamic finance environment it could not attract significant attention from the researchers, academicians, and practitioners. Though, some studies have discussed the tools of Islamic social finance, however, the focus on developing a practicable conceptual framework remained least attentive in recent studies. This study aims to fill this gap and attract the attention of all stakeholders to augment the Islamic Social finance theory and provide grounds for practitioners and academicians to implement technological tools to enhance its social impact. This study uses a qualitative library research approach to develop the spectrum of Islamic social finance and identify the issues faced by the key players within the spectrum. Likewise, technological advancement in the form of crowdfunding is exclusively proposed for the Islamic social finance spectrum in order to overcome all related issues and meet the objectives of SharÊ‘ah i.e., MaqÉÎid al SharÊ‘ah which are embedded in its CSR values. This study is envisioned to open the doors of debate for academicians to further enhance the general theory of Islamic Social finance. Moreover, this study also expects to pave the way for practitioners to further improve the suggested model through blockchain technology.

Developing a Novel Superstructure System for the Ballasted Railways Using RRP235special Stabilized Clayey Soil
Authors: Ghorbani Dolama Hossein
Published: October 2023

The ballasted tracks have been considered due to their benefits such as low construction cost, simple technology, good performance in vibration, and proper drainage. Despite the advantages, low bearing capacity, time-consuming maintenance, low vertical stiffness, vertical and horizontal displacement, and ballast problems are the reasons for the scientist’s effort to enhance the track using different methods. The problems increase in the presence of clay. The Royal Road Product 235 Special (RRP235Special) have used in road construction since 1960s. In this regard, all the layers underneath the sleeper have been replaced with the clayey subgrade stabilized with RRP235Special. A series of static and dynamic lab tests with different additive dosages were carried out to investigate the stabilized soil properties, and an optimal percentage was found. The sample with 0.15 lit/m3 RRP235Special was determined as the suitable dosage for lab experiments. According to the lab experiment results, a track was constructed in Urmia railway station, and field tests such as single tie push test (STPT) and plate loading test (PLT) were carried out. The conventional system is compared to the proposed superstructure. As a result, STPT has no significant difference, and PLT was increased due to the use of RRP235special.
Recurrent Cystitis in Women: Optimal Recommended Diagnostic Evaluation, Management and Prevention Options
Authors: Essafi Skander , Abid Maha , Rouis Sana , Omezzine Letaief Amel
Published: October 2023

Cystitis is a very common infection of the lower urinary tract. Women are typically affected, and more than 30 percent will experience at least one episode of cystitis in their lifetime. The diagnosis of this condition and its management are widely known and applied in the outpatient healthcare setting. However, recurrent cystitis, associated with a significant morbidity, is more challenging since their diagnostic evaluation, management and prevention differ significantly between disciplines. Several treatment and prevention options are offered to women with recurrent cystitis. Antibiotic prevention and treatment options should not be first-line, given the importance to limit resistance development and efficacy of alternatives in most situations. The proposed chapter is a narrative review on the current state-of-the-art for the diagnostic evaluation, management and prevention of recurrent cystitis, and aims to discuss other issues and aspects that could be addressed for an optimal management of this condition.
Genesis and Development of Group-Analytic Therapy in Great Britain: Bion, Bowlby, Foulkes, and the Relevance of Group Attachment
Authors: Ezquerro Arturo , Cañete María
Published: October 2023

A succinct account of the genesis and development of the Tavistock and group-analytic models of group psychotherapy focuses on their creators, Bion and Foulkes, and on how their life circumstances and their interpersonal and group attachment histories shaped their thinking and perception of the group and its therapeutic potential. The methodology combines historical investigation and literature review with psychodynamic and group-analytic formulations; it also provides an attachment-based, critical analysis of both approaches, their similarities and differences, and their mutual influence. Likewise, the chapter investigates the evolution of the concept of group attachment, formulated by Bowlby in 1969, which has been largely overlooked in the specialist literature until the last two decades, despite the fact that group lives, as well as interpersonal and group attachment, have played a fundamental role in our survival as a species and in our well-being and healthy development as a person. The present research is also informed by anthropological, psychosocial, organisational, and cultural aspects of human growth. It concludes that group attachment is highly relevant to group psychotherapy and that studying its nature and therapeutic implications should be an integral part of the training of psychotherapists and other mental health professionals, particularly those working with groups.

Biology of Creativity: A Nondesign-Inspired Model to Enhance Creativity and Innovation Skills
Authors: Cruz Rodrigues Antonio , Pedroso-Roussado Cristiano , Cunha Joao , Jorge Ana
Published: October 2023

From the merge of arts and crafts towards practice for mass production of desirability, consumption, and product development in a capitalist economy of scale, design has lost its natural ability of problem comprehension and tension alleviation. The modern world needs creativity, flexibility, and responsiveness embedded into design practices, mostly when a behavioural change, either individual or organisational, is intended. Still, the informality nature of the field is creating a gap between the study, research, and industrial design practice. Here, it is presented the Biology of Creativity Model (BoC), which is a design-by-analogy method that promotes an empowered design and creative practice through analysis of mostly biology reference texts for enhanced creative performance in a diverse array of contexts.
Transcribed-Ultra Conserved Regions (T-UCRs) a New Light on a Dark Matter
Authors: Radanova Maria
Published: October 2023

Transcribed Ultra-Conserved Regions (T-UCRs) are a novel class of long non-coding RNAs derived from Ultra-Conserved Regions (UCRs) of DNA. The discovery of cancer-specific mutations in UCRs and their location in cancer-associated genomic regions suggests that T-UCRs also play a role in carcinogenesis. However, the mechanisms behind their actions remain unclear. Their interactions with microRNAs are not well understood and are currently a subject of debate. Like other non-coding RNAs, T-UCRs exhibit tissue- and disease-specific expression, making them promising candidates for biomarkers or therapeutic targets in cancer and other diseases. This chapter aims to review the current knowledge on the functional effects of T-UCRs in cancer and other diseases, discuss the role of T-UCRs as regulators and regulated, and present their potential as disease monitoring biomarkers.
Article 175 of Turkish Civil Code, No. 4721: Assessment of Debate on the Duration of the Poverty Alimony
Authors: G. Özcan Büyüktanır Burcu , Okyar Dila
Published: October 2023

Even after the dissolution of marriage, as a reflection of solidarity obligation, Turkish law grants the party who will fall into poverty due to divorce the right to request alimony from the other spouse. Article 175 of Turkish Civil Code (TCC), no. 4721, titled “poverty alimony,” states that the party “may request alimony indefinitely”. It is the phrase indefinitely that has led to heavy discussions. The constitutionality of this provision was also challenged before the Turkish Constitutional Court, and in 2012, the Court had declared that the phrase indefinitely is not unconstitutional. Still, the debate on the duration of the poverty alimony is on the agenda. Even though Article 175 TCC grants the right to request poverty alimony to both of the spouses, without making any distinction in terms of male or female, this alimony is generally granted to women who are de facto at home and are economically weaker. The debate results from the situation of unemployed married women who suffer economically after the divorce. This study aims to examine poverty alimony under Turkish law with respect to its duration, evaluate the different doctrinal opinions in the literature, and, as a proposed solution, present an alternative way to interpret Article 175 TCC.
Empirical Determination of the Sea Surface Emissivity at L-band: A contribution to ESA's SMOS Earth Explorer Mission
Authors:   , Villarino Villarino Ramón María
Published: October 2023

El estudio de la medida de la salinidad del océano junto con la humedad del terreno constituyen dos de las aplicaciones más importantes dentro del mundo de la teledetección que no han sido estudiadas hasta la fecha. Concretamente esta tesis se va a centrar en la primera de ellas. La concentración salina de los océanos está ligada al clima y, en consecuencia su conocimiento a nivel global en cada instante puede representar un buen índice de referencia a la hora de realizar las predicciones climáticas, ya que es un indicador de las corrientes marinas, y de la diferencia entre evaporación y precipitación. En el mes de mayo de 1999 la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) seleccionó la misión SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) con el fin de realizar estudios en ambos campos, utilizando un radiómetro de apertura sintética bidimensional en banda L (MIRAS; Microwave Imagin Radiometer by Aperture Synthesis) instalado en un satélite que se prevé será puesto en órbita a principios del año 2007.
Con objeto de mejorar los modelos de emisión del mar en banda L y de estudiar la recuperación de la salinidad mediante medidas radiométricas multiangulares, la ESA aprobó el experimento WISE (WInd and Salinity Experiment) que se realizó a lo largo de dos campañas, durante los últimos meses de los años 2000 y 2001 en la plataforma petrolífera Casablanca, situada 50 Km mar adentro frente a las costas de Tarragona. En dichas campañas participaron cinco grupos de científicos de diferentes países (España, Francia y Estados Unidos).
La finalidad de los experimentos fue el estudio de la temperatura de brillo del mar teniendo en cuenta la influencia de su estado provocado por el viento, la espuma, el mar de fondo, etc. Para ello se utilizó un radiómetro de apertura real tipo Dicke completamente polarimétrico, diseñado y construido en la UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) a tal efecto.
La tercera campaña, FROG (Foam, Rain, Oil slicks and GPS reflectometry) fue patrocinada por el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología y se realizó durante la primavera del año 2003, junto a la desembocadura del Río Ebro. Ésta consistió en determinar la contribución en la variación de la temperatura de brillo debida a algunos de los efectos ya mencionados tales como: la espuma, la lluvia y las manchas de aceite. Las medidas de la temperatura de brillo se realizaron variando la concentración salina a voluntad, desde 0 psu hasta 38 psu y, estudiando separadamente cada uno de estos efectos.

Millimeter-wave and terahertz imaging techniques
Authors:   , Nova Lavado Enrique
Published: October 2023

This thesis presents the development and assessment of imaging techniques in the millimeterwave (mmW) and terahertz frequency bands. In the first part of the thesis, the development of a 94 GHz passive screener based on a total-power radiometer (TPR) with mechanical beamscanning is presented. Several images have been acquired with the TPR screener demonstrator, either in indoor and outdoor environments, serving as a testbed to acquire the know-how required to perform the research presented in the following parts of the thesis.
In the second part of the thesis, a theoretical research on the performance of near-field passive screeners is described. This part stands out the tradeoff between spatial and radiometric resolutions taking into account the image distortion produced by placing the scenario in
the near-field range of the radiometer array. In addition, the impact of the decorrelation effect in the image has been also studied simulating the reconstruction technique of a synthetic aperture radiometer. Guidelines to choose the proper radiometer depending on the application, the
scenario, the acquisition speed and the tolerated image distortion are given in this part.
In the third part of the thesis, the development of a correlation technique with optical processing applicable to millimeter-wave interferometric radiometers is described. The technique is capable of correlating wide-bandwidth signals in the optical domain with no loss of radiometric sensitivity. The theoretical development of the method as well as measurements validating the suitability to correlate radiometric signals are presented in this part.
In the final part of the thesis, the frequency band of the imaging problem is increased to frequencies beyond 100 GHz, covering the THz band. In this case the research is centered in tomographic techniques that include spectral information of the samples in the reconstructed
images. The tomographic algorithm can provide detection and identification of chemical compounds that present a certain spectral footprint in the THz frequency band.
Contributions to radio frequency interference detection and mitigation in Earth observation
Authors:   , Forte Véliz Giuseppe Francesco
Published: October 2023

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is the most common problem for electronic measuring systems. The presence of those electromagnetic waves can harm the measurements taken from very sensitive instruments, like microwave radiometry or navigation systems. The accuracy and precision are compromised. A first step to mitigate those unwanted effects is to study the RFI properties. Different algorithms have been proposed to detect the interferences, but there is no method that works in all cases.
The scope of this dissertation is the design, implementation and testing of different detection and mitigation methods in real-time. Performed surveys and characterization of RFI sources provide a great contribution to optimize the current mitigation techniques. In the mitigation area, two real-time hardware systems have been implemented: a wavelet denoise system to model the RFI and mitigate it, and a circuit to allow a navigation system to continue operational under the effects of a jammer.

El problema més comú en els sistemes electrònics de mesura són les interferències electromagnètiques. La presència d'aquests senyals pot danyar les mesures preses per instruments molt sensibles, com radiòmetres de microones o sistemes de navegació. L'exactitud i precisió es veuen compromeses. El primer pas per mitigar aquests efectes no desitjats és estudiar les propietats de les interferències electromagnètiques. Diversos algoritmes han estat proposats per detectar interferències, però no hi ha mètode que funcioni bé en tots els casos . Aquest treball comprèn el disseny, implementació i comprovació de diferents mètodes de detecció i mitigació en temps real. Els estudis i caracterització de les fonts d'interferències són una gran contribució per a optimitzar les tècniques de mitigació actuals. En el tema de mitigació, dos sistemes en temps real han estat implementats en hardware: un sistema que utilitza wavelets per modelar la interferència i mitigar-la, i un circuit que permet a un sistema de navegació continuar funcionant sota els efectes d'un interferidor comercial ( jammer ).
Fractal antennas
Authors:   , Puente Baliarda Carles
Published: October 2023

Las antenas son dispositivos esencialmente de banda estrecha; es decir, su comportamiento es altamente dependiente de la frecuencia de operación. La relación entre la longitud de onda de trabajo y el tamaño de la antena condiciona enormemente sus prestaciones. Ello implica que es complicado realizar antenas que funcionen de la misma forma en varias frecuencias, o que tengan un tamaño mucho menor que la longitud de onda.
En esta tesis se introduce el diseño fractal de antenas como una posible alternativa para abordar este tipo de problemas. En particular, se muestra como las propiedades geométricas de autosimilitud y dimensión no entera, que son características de los objetos fractales, pueden ser útiles en el diseño de antenas multifrecuencia (multibanda) y de antenas pequeñas. A lo largo de la Tesis se muestran varios resultados experimentales, numéricos y teóricos que confirman este hecho.
Tras revisar las restricciones más comunes de las antenas clásicas, la tesis empieza enunciando teóricamente el comportamiento multibanda de las antenas con geometría fractal. El estudio se particulariza entonces al caso de agrupaciones fractales de antenas y a factores de agrupación fractales. Se demuestra que las agrupaciones fractales ideales tienen un comportamiento multibanda y que las versiones implementables de dichas estructuras
Ideales conservan algunas de las propiedades multibanda.
La antena de Sierpinski fue la primera verificación experimental de que se podía construir una antena fractal multibanda. A lo largo de la tesis se introduce la nueva geometría de la antena y sus propiedades fundamentales.
Se ensayan también varias modificaciones de la estructura inicial, tales como variaciones en el ángulo del vértice de alimentación, variaciones en la inclinación de la antena, del espaciado entre bandas, etc. También se describe como otras formas fractales aleatorias poseen también propiedades multibanda.

This research aims to determine and analyze dividend policy moderating the influence of Liquidity, solvability, profitability, and sales growth on company value. The method used in this research is the research approach used, namely positivist (quantitative). The population in this research is all food and beverage subsector companies in 2019 - 2021, totaling 71 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that Liquidity significantly affects company value, confirming the acceptance of the research hypothesis regarding the influence of Liquidity. solvability does not significantly affect company value, so the hypothesis related to solvability is not accepted. Profitability significantly affects company value, supporting the hypothesis of the influence of profitability. Sales growth significantly affects company value, confirming the sales growth hypothesis. Dividend policy moderates the effect of Liquidity on firm value, confirming the acceptance of the liquidity-related moderation hypothesis. The dividend policy cannot moderate solvability on company value, so the moderation hypothesis related to solvability is rejected. A dividend policy can moderate the effect of profitability on firm value, supporting the moderation hypothesis related to profitability. Dividend policy moderates the effect of sales growth on firm value, confirming the acceptance of the moderation hypothesis regarding sales growth.
Gold and Bitcoin as Hedging Instruments for Equity Markets under Crisis
Authors: Bhuiyan Rubaiyat Ahsan , Chin Tze Chi , Zhang Changyong
Published: October 2023

Gold has been traditionally well recognized as a safe heaven for financial markets. Lately, Bitcoin has been gradually considered as a popular alternative. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, it has become even more necessary and critical to examine the diversification capability of them to hedge financial risks associated with an unexpected crisis comparable to the pandemic. This paper hence employs the wavelet analysis, complemented by the multivariate DCC-GARCH approach, to measure the coherence of the gold and Bitcoin prices with six representative stock market indices, three for developed economies and three for emerging economies, all of which are heavily affected by the pandemic. To have a more balanced and comprehensive analysis, two-year data are used, spanning from 12th April 2019 to 15th April 2021, which covers approximately one year before and one year after the announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results suggest that the returns of both gold and Bitcoin are generally not strongly correlated with the market returns of all six indices, particularly for short-term investment horizons. That is, investors in all six indices can benefit through gold, as well as Bitcoin, in terms of hedging. Meanwhile, compared with Bitcoin, gold shows to be less correlated with the indices, particularly for long-term investment horizons. The findings hence suggest that gold and Bitcoin offer diversification benefits to investors in the market indices during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for short-term investment horizons. The study also reminds policymakers thinking beyond the pandemic about the future of the earth, including air pollution and health, for sustainable development of the whole world.

Algumas notas sobre a assustadora atualidade do insólito (ficcional?) em Não verás país nenhum, de Ign´ácio de Loyola Brandão
Authors: Ferreira da Rosa Junior Paulo Ailton
Published: October 2023

A crítica literária afirma que os recursos fantásticos utilizados no romance Não verás país nenhum, de Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, têm como intuito aludir ao cenário sociopolítico brasileiro do início dos anos 1980, contexto de produção da obra. Entretanto, a atualidade quase literal de algumas dessas figurações assusta o leitor contemporâneo pela possibilidade de relaciona-las a acontecimentos do contexto de uma recepção contemporânea. Diante disso, este trabalho objetiva confrontar uma seleção de passagens do romance com episódios do contexto sociopolítico brasileiro corrente confirmando a sua atualidade. O estudo dialogará com preceitos de autores como Candido (1989) e García (2011), bem como em averiguações anteriores sobre a obra, por Souza (2019) e Ginway (2005).
Autoritarismo e conformismo na poética tropicalista
Authors: Correa Borges Gabriel Caio
Published: October 2023

Convém a este artigo uma releitura da poética tropicalista em sua relação com o contexto político daquele período de final da década de 60. Como outros artistas e intelectuais do momento, os participantes da Tropicália assumiam uma postura crítica e combativa quanto a imposição da ditadura militar que suprimia direitos civis. Entretanto, se destacava do chamado nacional-popular por se distanciar da mensagem panfletária. A lírica tropicalista preferia correlacionar o autoritarismo da época com a manutenção de uma sociabilidade arcaica, que continuava prevalecendo mesmo com o desenvolvimento urbano. Assim, levava o cerne do problema ditatorial para a nova realidade de modernização, no qual o conservadorismo desempenha um papel relevante como sustentáculo do regime. Os compositores tropicalistas realizaram essa proposta retomando uma das principais tradições literárias brasileiras: a crítica de costumes de fundo urbano. Vermos nas canções de Caetano Veloso e Tom Zé como isso tomou forma.

Sem trabalho, sem lugar: indivíduos supérfluos na sociedade contemporânea
Authors: Santos Darlan Roberto dos
Published: October 2023

Com base em considerações acerca da pós-modernidade e do “capitalismo excludente”, o presente artigo traz uma discussão a respeito do desafio que se coloca na contemporaneidade, quando se trata de “definir o lugar” de indivíduos considerados “supérfluos”. Neste sentido, serão mobilizadas algumas obras literárias, como as de Rubem Fonseca, cuja temática está relacionada aos “invisíveis sociais”. O objetivo é ilustrar o debate sobre o papel (ou a falta dele) desempenhado pelos “refugos humanos” em nossa sociedade, e em modalidades culturais, como Literatura e Cinema.

As ruínas do reino
Authors: Schwantes Cíntia Carla Moreira
Published: October 2023

Este artigo se destina a discutir o romance O reino deste mundo, do cubano Alejo Carpentier, sob uma ótica pós-colonial. Trata-se de um romance histórico, que utiliza como matéria narrativa fatos da história do Haiti, vazados pela mirada de Ti Noel, um escravo que vivencia os conflitos que envolvem o processo de independência do país, bem como das guerras napoleônicas, do processo colonial levado em solo haitiano, tão em desacordo com os ideais franceses de igualdade, liberdade e fraternidade, e acaba seus dias, idoso e senil, vivendo nas ruinas da casa de seu antigo dono. Assim, pelos olhos de Ti Noel, o romance expõe toda a violência e as contradições envolvidas no processo colonial haitiano.
