Authors: Adhari Muhammad Faresa , Setiawan Johan
Published: November 2024

This study assesses the IT governance capability level at the Tangerang City Revenue Agency (BAPENDA) using the COBIT 5 framework to identify capability gaps and provide recommendations for improvement. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews and observations to understand the current IT governance conditions against COBIT standards. The capability assessment revealed uneven levels across various processes. EDM04 (Ensure Resource Optimization) and MEA01 (Monitor, Evaluate, and Assess Performance and Conformance) were rated at Level 2, indicating that these processes are managed and controlled effectively. In contrast, APO07 (Manage Human Resources), BAI09 (Manage Assets), and DSS01 (Manage Operations) were assessed at Level 1, reflecting that these processes are operational but require substantial improvements to meet the target Level 3. The analysis highlights an urgent need to enhance IT governance, particularly in processes with lower capability levels. DSS01 (Manage Operations) was identified as the highest priority for improvement, based on the gap values and effort required for enhancement. The prioritization of process capability improvement in this study is guided by the principles of gap value and effort required for each process. Strategic enhancements in IT governance are crucial for the Tangerang City Revenue Agency to align better with best practices and achieve higher capability levels. Recommendations include implementing electronic-based applications, establishing Standard Operating Procedures related to performance targets and compliance, and improving IT human resources to enhance the effectiveness of IT service delivery and governance.
Enhancing Network Security in Mobile Applications with Role-Based Access Control
Authors: Mpamugo Ezichi , Ansa Godwin
Published: November 2024

In today's dynamic networking environment, securing access to resources has become increasingly challenging due to the growth and progress of connected devices. This study explores the integration of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and OAuth 2.0 protocols to enhance network access management and security enforcement in an Android mobile application. The study adopts a waterfall methodology to implement access control mechanisms that govern authentication and authorization. OAuth 2.0, a widely adopted open-standard authorization framework, was implemented to secure user authentication by allowing third-party access without exposing user credentials. Meanwhile, RBAC was leveraged to streamline access permissions based on predefined user roles, ensuring that access privileges are granted according to hierarchical role structures. The main outcomes of this study show significance towards the improvements in security enforcement and user access management. Specifically, the implementation of multi-factor authentication, session timeout mechanisms, and user role-based authorization ensured robust protection of sensitive data while maintaining system usability. RBAC proved effective in controlling access to various system resources, such as database operations which was presented in scenario of physical access to doors, while OAuth 2.0 provided a secure communication channel for authentication events. These protocols, working in tandem, addressed key issues like unauthorized access, data integrity, and scalability in network security policy enforcement. This research deduces that combining RBAC and OAuth 2.0 protocols in mobile applications enhances security posture, simplifies access management, and mitigates evolving threats.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНІ ПРОБЛЕМИ ЕМОЦІЙНОЇ САМОРЕГУЛЯЦІЇ СУЧАСНИХ ПІДЛІТКІВ
Authors: Обелець Інна Михайлівна
Published: November 2024

У статті наведено розв’язання психологічної проблеми емоційної саморегуляції сучасних підлітків. Висвітлено проблему емоційного розвитку підлітків. Питання гармонійної єдності емоцій та когнітивних процесів є актуальним саме у цьому віці. Зазначено, що особливе значення набуває проблема діагностики та розвитку емоційної сфери у підлітковому віці. Підлітковий вік є головним ступенем для входження в доросле життя, на якому відбуваються найважливіші зміни в життя людини. Виявлено психічні новоутворення емоційної сфери особи підлітку, до яких належать: підвищена емоційна збудливість; велика стійкість емоційних переживань; основа дружби - спільність інтересів та моральних почуттів; «комплекс емоційності»; поява емоційних переживань та суперечливості почуттів. Доведено, що в процесі дорослішання можуть з'явитися емоційні порушення, а як наслідок – порушення психіки. Тому так важливо у цьому віці закласти здоровий емоційний фундамент, навчити підлітків дбати про свої та чужі почуття. Проблема розвитку здатності підлітку до саморегуляції представлена як процес підтримки сприятливих і перетворення несприятливих емоційних станів, адекватних спільної діяльності, що вибудовується. Звертається увага, що оскільки проживання сучасними підлітками інтенсивних емоційних станів перешкоджає їх особистісному становленню, завдання розвитку саморегуляції є особливо актуальною. Перевірялося припущення у тому, що розвиток саморегуляції сприяє оволодінню підлітком здібностями розпізнавати й інтерпретувати емоційні стани. Стверджується, що створення підлітком оперативних образів об'єкту у конкретній ситуації надає опосередкований вплив на перетворення емоційних станів. Незважаючи на зростаючу увагу, яка приділяється емоційному розвитку підлітків, залишається недостатньо досліджень, які б конкретно вивчали взаємозв’язок між саморегуляцією та когнітивною регуляцією емоцій у цій віковій групі. Поточне дослідження має на меті подолати цю прогалину в існуючій літературі та покращити наше розуміння факторів, що впливають на емоційне благополуччя підлітків. Основною метою цього дослідження є вивчення зв’язку між саморегуляцією та когнітивною регуляцією емоцій серед підлітків, розроблено науково-прикладні підходи, що забезпечують практичне використання отриманих наукових результатів.

Published: November 2024

This study explores Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED) students’ perceptions of the impact of hazardous chemical use in food on community welfare. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research surveyed 300 students from various faculties closely related to health, economics, and education. Simple linear regression analysis revealed a significant positive correlation (coefficient = 0.578, p < 0.05) between the perceived use of hazardous chemicals in food and the perceived decline in community welfare. The R² value of 0.555 suggests that 55.5% of the variance in welfare perceptions is explained by the awareness of chemical use in food, with other factors such as government regulation and economic stability accounting for the remainder. The findings indicate that students are cognizant of the health risks and economic burdens posed by these chemicals, which affect the quality of life. This awareness underscores the importance of educational efforts in food safety and calls for stronger governmental oversight in food regulation. By raising awareness and implementing effective policies, both health and social welfare in the community could be significantly improved.

Authors: NUGRAHA EKA , U.S SUPARDI
Published: November 2024

This study discusses the problem of assignment. In this study, two methods are compared, in determining the optimal solution of the assignment problem, namely the Enhanced Zero Suffix method and the Alternate Mansi method. The Enhanced Zero Suffix method is a method of determining the optimal solution by reducing the rows and columns with the smallest values ??in each row and column to later find at least one zero value in the row and column then add up the value entries in the row and column that have zero values ??divided by the number of zero values ??in the row and column that have the corresponding zero values. The Alternate Mansi method looks for the minimum value in each row that has a unique value related to the column. The concept of this method is applied to three different cases with balanced data and the results obtained are that both methods produce the same optimal solution but the Alternate Mansi method excels in iteration efficiency in determining the optimal solution.

Abstract. Temperature trends in the upper stratosphere, particularly above ∼ 45 km, are difficult to quantify due to a lack of observational data with high vertical resolution in this region that span multiple decades. The recent v7.3 upper-stratospheric (35–60 km) temperature data product from the Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) includes over 22 years of observations that can be used to estimate temperature trends. The trends in OSIRIS temperatures over 2005–2021 are compared to those from two other satellite limb instruments: Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) and Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). We find that the upper stratosphere cooled by ∼ 0.5 to 1 K per decade during this period. Results from the three instruments are generally in agreement. By merging the OSIRIS observations with those from channel 3 of the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU), we find that the stratosphere cooled at a rate of approximately −0.6 K per decade between 1979 and 2021 near 45 km, in agreement with earlier results based on SSU and MLS. The similarity between OSIRIS temperature trends and those from other records improves confidence in observed upper-stratospheric temperature changes over the last several decades.

Abstract. Understanding the foraging behavior of marine animals in Antarctica is crucial for assessing their ecological significance and responses to environmental changes, such as seasonal changes in seawater or light hours. However, studying their responses to these seasonal changes remains challenging due to the difficult logistics of conducting observations, particularly during the harsh austral winter months. In this study, we investigated the influence of changes in seawater properties and light conditions on the seasonal foraging behavior of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. We affixed 64 Weddell seals with conductivity–temperature–depth tags for 3 consecutive years from 2021 to 2023 to record their locations and dive profiles, including depth, head acceleration, temperature, and salinity. We found that seals foraged more frequently in Modified Shelf Water and Ice Shelf Water than in Antarctic Surface Water. This preference could be connected to greater food availability. Seals also dove to greater depths and displayed increased activity in capturing prey during daylight hours. This behavior may correspond to the diel vertical migration of pelagic prey in response to varying light conditions. Consequently, marine fauna were confronted with distinct seasonal changes in the Antarctic environment and adjusted their foraging behaviors to respond to them. This highlights the importance of extrinsic factors in estimating their seasonal foraging behavior.
Terrestrial and marine plastic pollution outlook in the Mediterranean region: a box-model approach based on OECD policy scenarios

Abstract. Plastic pollution in the Mediterranean region and Sea raises serious concerns for ecosystem and human health. Plastic dispersal from Mediterranean watersheds in Southern Europe, Northern Africa and Middle-East, and Nile basin is complex due to the different (mis-)managed waste streams, population dynamics and climate. In this study, an environmental plastics mass budget and box-model is proposed for the Mediterranean region based on recent observations. We use this model to explore plastics dispersal under different OECD plastic production and waste management policy scenarios toward the end of the 21st century. We find that the current Mediterranean marine plastic stock (sea surface, water column, sandy beach and sediments) of 7 million metric tons (Mt, median, IQR 3–15 Mt) in 2015 constrains continental plastic runoff to 0.31 Mt y-1 (median, IQR 0.14–0.57 Mt y-1). The total marine plastics stock would increase 4-fold by 2060 under a business-as-usual scenario, reaching 26 Mt (median, IQR 13–48 Mt). Implementation of the OECD Global Ambition policy scenario, that targets near-zero new plastics waste leakage, would not significantly lower this stock (25 Mt, median, IQR 12–44 Mt) by 2060. This is because marine litter remote sensing observations attribute most, 0.27 Mt y-1 (88 %), of recent plastic runoff to Southern Europe, where high rainfall will continue to mobilize legacy plastic waste from land to sea, regardless of low leakage targets. About 1.5 % of all Mediterranean legacy plastic waste reached the marine environment, meaning that most plastic waste still resides on land (361 Mt, 76 %). Moreover, in the marine environment, 83 % of plastic mass resides in shelf sediments (median 6 Mt, IQR 2–14 Mt), which are fragile ecosystems that host most of the Mediterranean Sea biodiversity, and are not easy to clean up. This underlines the necessity to address upstream legacy plastic waste on land. Land-based remediation scenarios modelled here show that total plastic runoff from land to sea can be reduced 2-fold (0.22 Mt y-1, IQR 0.16–0.27 Mt y-1) compared to the business-as-usual scenario in 2060, and significantly reduce the total plastic stock in the marine environment.

Abstract. Urban agriculture has become an essential component of urban sustainability, but it often faces the challenge of soil contamination with heavy metal(loid)s like lead (Pb), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn). Traditional laboratory methods for detecting these contaminants, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma techniques (ICP-MS, ICP-OES, ICP-AES), are accurate but can be costly, time-consuming, and require extensive sample preparation. Portable X-ray fluorescence (PXRF) presents a promising alternative, offering rapid, in situ analysis with minimal sample preparation. The study reviews literature on PXRF analyzers to determine their accuracy and precision in analyzing heavy metal(loid)s in urban soils, with the goal of optimizing sampling, reducing laboratory costs and time, and identifying priority metal contamination hotspots. A literature review was conducted using Web of Science and Google Scholar, focusing on studies that validated PXRF measurements with alternate laboratory methods or certified reference materials (CRMs). This study reviews 67 publications to evaluate the accuracy and precision of PXRF in analyzing heavy metal(loid)s in urban soils. The review covers instrument types, calibration methods, testing conditions, and sample preparation techniques. Results show that, when properly calibrated, particularly with CRMs, PXRF achieves reliable accuracy. Ex situ measurements tend to be more precise due to controlled conditions, although in situ measurements offer practical advantages in urban settings. Portable XRF emerges as a viable method for assessing urban soil contamination, balancing accuracy and practicality. Future research should focus on optimizing sample preparation and calibration to further enhance PXRF reliability in urban environments. This review highlights PXRF’s potential to streamline soil testing, reduce costs, and identify contamination hotspots, contributing to safer urban agriculture and more precise soil survey and conservation efforts.
Evaluating an accelerated forcing approach for improving computational efficiency in coupled ice sheet–ocean modelling

Published: November 2024

Abstract. Coupled ice sheet–ocean models are increasingly being developed and applied to important questions pertaining to processes at the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet margins, which play a pivotal role in ice sheet stability and sea level rise projections. One of the challenges of such coupled modelling activities is the timescale discrepancy between ice and ocean dynamics. This discrepancy, combined with the high computational cost of ocean models due to their finer temporal resolution, limits the time frame that can be modelled. In this study, we introduce an “accelerated forcing” approach to address the timescale discrepancy and thus improve computational efficiency in a framework designed to couple evolving ice geometry to ice shelf cavity circulation. This approach is based on the assumption that the ocean adjusts faster to imposed changes than the ice sheet, so the ocean can be viewed as being in a quasi-steady state that varies slowly over timescales of ice geometry change. By assuming that the mean basal melt rate during one coupling interval can be reflected by a quasi-steady-state melt rate during a shortened coupling interval (equal to the regular coupling interval divided by a constant factor), we can reduce the ocean model simulation duration. We first demonstrate that the mean cavity residence time, derived from standalone ocean simulations, can guide the selection of suitable scenarios for this approach. We then evaluate the accelerated forcing approach by comparing basal melting response under the accelerated forcing with that under the regular forcing (without the accelerated forcing) based on idealized coupled ice sheet–ocean model experiments. Our results suggest that the accelerated approach can yield comparable melting responses to those under the regular forcing approach when the model is subjected to steady far-field ocean conditions or time-varying conditions with timescales much shorter than the cavity residence time. However, it may not be suitable when the timescale of the accelerated ocean conditions is not significantly different from the cavity residence time. We have also discussed the limitations of applying the accelerated forcing approach to real-world scenarios, as it may not be applicable in coupled modelling studies addressing climate variability on sub-decadal, decadal, and mixed timescales or in fully coupled climate models with interactive ice sheets. Nevertheless, when appropriately applied, the accelerated approach can be a useful tool in process-oriented coupled ice sheet–ocean modelling or for downscaling climate simulations with a coupled ice sheet–ocean model.

Abstract. Antarctic landlocked lake open water (LLOW) plays an important role in the Antarctic ecosystem and serves as a reliable climate indicator. However, since field surveys are currently the main method to study Antarctic landlocked lakes, the spatial and temporal distribution of landlocked lakes across Antarctica remains understudied. We first developed an automated detection workflow for Antarctic LLOW using deep learning and multi-source satellite images. The U-Net model and LLOW identification model achieved average F1 scores of 0.90 and 0.89 on testing datasets, respectively, demonstrating strong spatiotemporal robustness across various study areas. We chose four typical ice-free areas located along coastal Antarctica as our study areas. After applying our LLOW identification model to a total of 79 Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images and 330 Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images in these four areas, we generated high-spatiotemporal-resolution LLOW time series from January to April between 2017 and 2021. We analyzed the fluctuation of LLOW areas in the four study areas and found that during expansion of LLOW, over 90 % of the changes were explained by positive degree days, while during contraction, negative degree day changes accounted for more than 50 % of the LLOW area fluctuations. It is shown that our model can provide long-term LLOW time series products that help us better understand how lakes change under a changing climate.

Abstract. A rigorous exploration of the sea ice data assimilation (DA) problem using a framework specifically developed for rapid, interpretable hypothesis testing is presented. In many applications, DA is implemented to constrain a modeled estimate of a state with observations. The sea ice DA application is complicated by the wide range of spatiotemporal scales over which key sea ice variables evolve, a variety of physical bounds on those variables, and the particular construction of modern complex sea ice models. By coupling a single-column sea ice model (Icepack) to the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) in a series of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs), the grid-cell-level response of a complex sea ice model to a range of ensemble Kalman DA methods designed to address the aforementioned complications is explored. The impact on the modeled ice thickness distribution and the bounded nature of both state and prognostic variables in the sea ice model are of particular interest, as these problems are under-examined. Explicitly respecting boundedness has little effect in the winter months, but it correctly accounts for the bounded nature of the observations, particularly in the summer months when the prescribed sea ice concentration (SIC) error is large. Assimilating observations representing each of the individual modeled sea ice thickness categories consistently improves the analyses across multiple diagnostic variables and sea ice mean states. These results elucidate many of the positive and negative results of previous sea ice DA studies, highlight the many counterintuitive aspects of this particular DA application, and motivate better future sea ice analysis products.
