DISTORSI PASAR: TADLIS ATAU PENIPUAN OLEH PENJUAL KAOS POLOS DI PASAR ELEKTRONIK SHOPEE
Authors: Hasibuan Harits Ar-Royhan , Achiria Siti , Bakti Nugroho Moch Rizal Bayu
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini menjelaskan tentang konsep tadlis (penipuan) yang terjadi di pasar elektronik, khususnya di kalangan penjual kaos polos. Hal ini dilakukan agar masyarakat tidak mudah tertipu oleh produk yang dijual di pasar online. Penipuan lebih mungkin terjadi di pasar online dibandingkan dengan pasar offline karena tidak adanya transaksi tatap muka. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi literatur, dengan mengambil berbagai referensi yang berkaitan dengan permasalahan. Selain itu, observasi dilakukan di e-marketplace Shopee, khususnya pada penjual kaos polos. Penulis menemukan bahwa bahan yang dijual tidak sesuai dengan deskripsi, sehingga memungkinkan penjual menjual produk dengan harga di bawah harga rata-rata pasar. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, jika dikaitkan dengan teori distorsi pasar (tadlis), dapat diartikan bahwa distorsi di e-marketplace Shopee khususnya pada penjualan produk kaos polos masih sering terjadi. Hal ini tidak hanya merugikan pembeli tetapi juga merugikan penjual lain yang menawarkan produk dengan harga rata-rata dan dengan kualitas yang jelas. Oleh karena itu, sebagai pembeli atau konsumen, penting untuk memahami produk yang akan dibeli dan tidak tertarik dengan harga murah yang ditawarkan oleh penjual di e-marketplace. Penelitian ini memberikan pesan penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran konsumen dan mengedukasi mereka tentang potensi penipuan dalam perdagangan online, serta mendorong pentingnya transparansi dan kejujuran dalam berjualan di e-marketplace.

RESPONSE OF MADURA'S NAHDLATUL ULAMA SCHOLARS TO THE INDONESIAN ULAMA COUNCIL'S FATWA ON CASH WAKAF
Authors: Harisah Harisah , Gultom Mitra Sami , Hosen Muhammad Nadratuzzaman , Kusairi Ah. , Ahmad Azlin Alisa
Published: December 2024

This research was aimed at examining the response made by the ulama (Islamic religious scholars) of the Madura Branch of the NU and to find out their reactions to the MUI fatwa concerning cash wakaf. This research was classified as qualitative. The sample for this research consisted of 101 religious scholars of the Madura branch of the NU. The research was conducted in the form of surveys and interviews with these Madura NU members, to ascertain their arguments. The results of the research obtained showed convincingly that the majority of NU religious scholars accept and agree with the MUI Fatwa concerning cash wakaf, in that the response “agree” (Setuju – S) received the highest percentage return for all items, recording positive results between 40% and 60%, whilst the percentages for the response “strongly agree” (sangat setuju - SS) was the second strongest, receiving between 19% and 48% support. Based upon the results of the interviews conducted by the researchers with the NU Madura theologians, it was their opinion that the MUI Fatwa concerning cash wakaf fulfils the requirements of Islamic religious law. Not only that, but these scholars were also of the opinion that a cash wakaf can be a beneficial social instrument and may assist in overcoming social problems in their regions. The implication of this study is that the validity of the MUI fatwa can be widely accepted among local scholars, providing a strong legal foundation for the development of cash waqf in Indonesia, particularly in Madura. This fatwa is not only recognized as valid according to Islamic law, but also serves as a basis for the acceptance of cash waqf by the public as a legitimate and effective charitable instrument
Keywords: Nahdhatul Ulama’, Fatwa Commission, Cash Wakaf, Madura.
How should scientists act? Assessing public perceptions of scientists and scientific practices and their implications for science communication
Authors: Safford Thomas G. , Whitmore Emily H.
Published: December 2024

Is how science is conducted legitimate? Are scientists trustworthy? Whether the public answers “yes” to these questions is critical for science communicators. We explore how social factors affect public perceptions of the practice of science, and then test how those beliefs relate to views about how scientists engage with the public and policy making. Our results show that political ideology and religiosity affect these views. However, more importantly, respondents' concerns about the integrity of the scientific process are the strongest predictor of views about scientists' behavior, providing a focus area for future communication efforts in support of science-based decision making.

Philosophical Poetry as a Form of Memory. On a Poem by Hannah Arendt
Authors:   Russian Christian Academy for Humanities named after Fyodor Dostoevsky, Koval Oxana A. , Kriukova Ekaterina B. ,   Russian Christian Academy for Humanities named after Fyodor Dostoevsky
Published: December 2024

Hannah Arendt’s intellectual legacy includes a collection of poems that have not received much attention from scholars. Arendt began writing these poems in her youth and continued into adulthood. Her American period of poetry reflects on the experience of emigration and the loss of loved ones. The collection begins with a poem dedicated to the death of her friend, the philosopher Walter Benjamin. The lyrical necrology, entitled with the initials “W.B.” and dated 1942, is both a tribute to the dead thinker and a reaction to the first reports of German death camps. This article reconstructs the origins of the poem and provides a detailed analysis of it. The interpretation is based on clarifying the philosophical subtext of this work, which deals with themes important to Arendt and Benjamin. For this purpose, the article uses such Arendt’s writings as the essay “We Refugees” (1943), the lecture “Walter Benjamin” (1968), and the book “The Life of the Mind” (1978). The example of the poem demonstrates the continuity and consonance of Arendt’s ideas with Benjaminian concepts of aura (“The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”), Jetztzeit (“On the Concept of History”), and remembrance (“Berlin Childhood Around 1900”).
On Specific Aesthetic Features of the Plotless “Deviant” Texts in Chronicles
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tufanova Olga A.
Published: December 2024

The aesthetic specific of the plotless “deviant” texts in chronicles is rooted in the fact that a detailed or brief account of abnormal and/or extraordinary behaviour of their characters appears in the form of enumerating odd actions, in most cases not connected by cause-and-effect relationship, but directly dependent on the initial event which provoked the manifestation of deviancy. As a rule, such deviant acts are committed in connection with a particular circumstance, such as a fest, an unusual event, a mysterious natural phenomenon, or a natural disaster. The analysis of the plotless narrative about the sorrowful events of 1230–1231 in Novgorod (Novgorod Fourth Chronicle, under 6738), the story about the celestial apparition in Kyiv (Patriarchal or Nikon Chronicle, under 6738), and the Epistle of Hegumen Pamphil (Pskov First Chronicle, under 7013) demonstrates that such plotless “deviant” texts capture both negative and positive deviation in people’s behaviour, as well as in the tradition of narrating various events. Such texts also feature a three-component structure, similar to the plot-driven narrative. However, deviant behaviour is not a trait of human character and way of thinking in the plotless “deviant” texts — it is always caused by a specific circumstance or event and is temporary, although it can be repeated if connected with the ritual aspect of life. Finally, due to their narrative specific, lists of deviant acts primarily refer to mass manifestations of deviant behaviour, as opposed to the plot-driven “deviant” texts, which may focus on a single protagonist.
Two Approaches to Tolstoyism in the Works of I.A. Bunin and S. Karonin (N.E. Petropavlovsky)
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Arov Yaroslav I.
Published: December 2024

The article raises the question of the artistic representation of Tolstoyism by analyzing the works of two authors, I.A. Bunin and S. Karonin (N.E. Petropavlovsky). The researcher aims to show the difference in writers’ approaches, justifying them not only by the peculiarities of individual authors’ perceptions but also by objective cultural and historical processes. Based on the thesis of E.V. Agarin about the division of Tolstoyism into two groups, communitarian and individualistic, which also have internal differentiation (the communitarian group is represented in the form of communities and artels; individualistic — in the form of neighboring settlements, in closed farm life, in the phenomenon of vagrancy), the author hypothesizes that Bunin and Karonin in their works gave not only a different image of Tolstoyism but also an image of fundamentally different Tolstoyism. Bunin’s approach emphasized the individual embodiments of Tolstoy’s ideals, Karonin — in the representation of their social forms, which is directly related to the discussions about Tolstoyism in the populist environment. The portrait characteristics of the Tolstoy characters help clarify this duality of Tolstoy’s teaching. The article concludes that the difference in approaches to Tolstoyism in Bunin and Karonin’s prose is connected with the internal contradiction of Tolstoy’s teaching, on the one hand, fundamentally denying any dogmatism from the standpoint of counterculture, antistatism, and criticism of the institution of the church, on the other — dogmatizing its moral foundations and their public presentation.
The Narrative Structure of the Plot “Sleeping Beauty” in the French Folk Tale
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Patrakova Olga N. ,   Baltic State Technical University “VOENMEH” named after D.F. Ustinov
Published: December 2024

This article analyzes the structural and semantic features of the French folk tale “Sleeping Beauty,” which was recorded at the end of the 19th century by the folklorist L. Dardy in a remote corner of the Gascony. Due to the isolation of the region, this fairy tale not only contains elements of local culture but also maintains its archaic structure free from later literary influences. It allows us to identify the ancient core of the plot, which is associated with initiation rites and mythological ideas about circular time. In the structure of the fairy tale, there are 15 different functions. The narrative arrangement of these functions has several deviations from the traditional pattern and determines an important aspect of the plot that is relevant for its continuation in later literature and culture. One of these deviations is the doubling of function VIII, which involves villainy or lacking. This leads to a focus on two main characters, the victim and the seeker hero, and the simultaneous liquidation of villainy and lacking. Turning to the actions of the hero-seeker, the fairy tale “forgets” about the protagonist (Sleeping Beauty) for a while, who does not undergo traditional tests, does not engage in an open conflict with the antagonist, and does not win over the latter. Instead, she remains inactive for a significant part of the story, which creates a functional and semantic gap and contributes to the emergence of numerous later interpretations of the story filled with new motivations.
The Russian Background in George Sand’s Novel L’Homme de Neige
Authors:   Donetsk State University, Popova Anna V.
Published: December 2024

The article presents results obtained after a thorough research of the ways of interpreting the “Russian theme” by George Sand, which has not yet become the subject of a separate study. The writer’s works for a wide range of readers objectify ethno-stereotypes related to the geographical remoteness of Russia, its climate, state structure, and national character. Based on Sand’s novel, L'Homme de Neige (1859), the article shows how the Russian theme fits into the context of her worldview and develops in accordance with her idiostyle, in which binary oppositions play a crucial role. Russian characters in the novel have no independent value but act as antipodes for good ones, whose life position is consonant with the writer’s ideas. The opposition of patriotism, authenticity, sincerity, honesty, and selflessness to corruption, imitation, hypocrisy, cunning, and mercenariness, attributed by the author to Russians or those who sympathise with them, reveals and clarifies one of the most significant categorical oppositions in George Sand’s novels structure — “natural / artificial.” The image of Russia and Russians in the writer’s works appears as a background. It is shaped by stereotypes that have already been fixed in the consciousness and are easily recognisable to the French reader, which turns out to be consonant with her negativist perception of Russian history, foreign policy, and state ideals.
Pushkin’s “Poltava” vs Byron’s “Mazepa”: Aspects of the Controversy and Its Reflection in English Pushkin Studies
Authors:   Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, Koroleva Svetlana B.
Published: December 2024

The article aims to determine the degree of research coverage and variants of resolving the problem of relations between Pushkin’s “Poltava” and Byron’s “Mazepa” and accordingly clarify and supplement academic knowledge about the polemical orientation of Pushkin’s work towards Byron’s poem. Particular interest in the issue of the correlation of “Poltava” with “Mazepa” in modern English-language literary criticism is connected with attention to the writer’s political beliefs contextualized by the influence of new historicism. This leads modern foreign researchers to the conclusion that Pushkin’s historicism is conventional since the poem reveals his imperial or even imperialistic views. This sociological approach is opposed in the article by a comprehensive literary analysis combining the methodology of comparative research and techniques of hermeneutic analysis. The article argues that, entering into polemics with Byron and his “Mazepa,” Pushkin developed specific artistic strategies that embed psychology in history and history in psychology.
Editorial: Strategic pathways for the future — Sustainability, resilience, and innovation in corporate governance and business strategy
Authors: Situm Mario
Published: December 2024

The rapidly shifting global environment continues to challenge traditional approaches to corporate strategy and governance (Situm, 2021). As organizations navigate increasing complexity in a world characterized by VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) and the more recent BANI (brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and incomprehensible) framework, themes such as sustainability, resilience, crisis management, strategy and business model, and competitiveness have gained prominence as foundational pillars for success in the modern business landscape.
System and Organization Controls (SOC) for Cybersecurity as a Nonaudit Service
Authors: Perols Rebecca R. , Murthy Uday S.
Published: December 2024

As cybersecurity risk and disclosure requirements increase, companies are looking to audit practitioners to provide System and Organization Controls (SOC) for Cybersecurity assurance services. Companies can choose to use the same firm as their financial statement auditor (joint provisioning) or a separate assurance provider. This article summarizes a study examining the effects of joint or separate provisioning of this service and cybersecurity incidents on investors’ perceptions of audit quality and investment decisions (Perols and Murthy 2021). The study finds that when the service is jointly provisioned, the negative signal of a subsequent cybersecurity incident can reverse investors’ positive perceptions of auditor competence, increase investors’ sensitivity to potential independence impairments, and result in lower perceptions of audit quality. Overall, the study finds that investors can be less willing to invest in a company when the service is jointly compared to separately provisioned. This article highlights implications for companies, practitioners, and regulators.
Using Blockchain, Non-Fungible Tokens, and Smart Contracts to Track and Report Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Authors: Jenkins J. Gregory , Negangard Eric M. , Sheldon Mark D.
Published: December 2024

Global markets are moving toward requiring firms to track and report greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain. This includes self-generated emissions (i.e., Scope 1), emissions from power providers (i.e., Scope 2), and emissions from upstream suppliers and downstream parties (i.e., Scope 3). Yet, obtaining reliable emissions data is a complex task that often relies on cumbersome legacy processes and becomes especially challenging with upstream and downstream emissions. Using the Design Science Research Methodology, we propose and prototype (early-stage) a technological solution that uses blockchain, non-fungible tokens, and smart contracts to track and report greenhouse gas emissions across a firm’s value chain. The proposed model demonstrates how these tools can create a reliable classification and provenance of emissions that all value chain members can access for reporting purposes. Experts in the field evaluate the proposed model, find it technologically feasible, and call attention to some of its challenges.

Gain of Function NOTCH3 Variants Cause Familial Partial Lipodystrophy Due to Activation of Senescence Pathways
Authors: Garg Abhimanyu , Xing Chao , Agarwal Anil K. , Westfall Aundrea K. , Tomchick Diana R. , Zhang Xunzhi , Xing Michelle , Brown Rebecca J.
Published: December 2024

Despite elucidation of the molecular genetic basis of several lipodystrophy syndromes, molecular defects in some ultra-rare subtypes of familial lipodystrophies remain unidentified. We analyzed whole-exome sequencing (WES) data of four affected and two unaffected females from an undiagnosed autosomal dominant familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) pedigree and identified only one novel heterozygous variant, p.Ala1603Tyr, in NOTCH3 meeting the filtering criteria. Further analysis of WES data of 222 patients with unexplained FPL identified two unrelated patients with FPL with novel heterozygous (p.Cys1600Tyr and p.Gln1552Pro) NOTCH3 variants. All variants were clustered in the heterodimerization domain of the negative regulatory region of NOTCH3. RNA sequencing and proteomics analysis of skin fibroblasts revealed significantly higher RNA and protein expression of NOTCH3 and activation of widespread senescence pathways in the patients with FPL versus control study participants. NOTCH3 is highly expressed in adipose tissue and plays many crucial roles in developmental patterning, cell fate decisions, regulation of cell survival, and proliferation. We conclude that gain-of-function missense variants in the negative regulatory region of NOTCH3 cause a novel subtype of FPL by activation of senescence pathways. This novel variety of FPL should be considered for patients without obesity but with early- or childhood-onset diabetes.

Article Highlights

Molecular genetic defects in some ultra-rare subtypes of familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLs) remain unidentified. We investigated whether novel gene variants explain FPL in some undiagnosed patients. We found novel heterozygous gain-of-function missense variants clustered in the heterodimerization domain of the negative regulatory region of NOTCH3 in three unrelated families with FPL. Our study suggests that gain-of-function missense variants in the heterodimerization domain of NOTCH3 cause a novel subtype of FPL by activation of senescence pathways.
Adipose Tissue Biology and Effect of Weight Loss in Women With Lipedema
Authors: Cifarelli Vincenza , Smith Gordon I. , Gonzalez-Nieves Silvia , Samovski Dmitri , Palacios Hector H. , Yoshino Jun , Stein Richard I. , Fuchs Anja , Wright Thomas F. , Klein Samuel
Published: December 2024

Lipedema is a lipodystrophic disease that is typically characterized by a marked increase in lower-body subcutaneous adipose tissue that is purported to have increased inflammation and fibrosis, have impaired microvascular/lymphatic circulation, and be resistant to reduction by weight loss therapy. However, these outcomes have not been adequately studied. We evaluated body composition, insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and adipose tissue biology in women with obesity and lipedema (Obese-LIP) before and after moderate (∼9%) diet-induced weight loss. At baseline, people with Obese-LIP had ∼23% greater leg fat mass, ∼11% lower android-to-gynoid ratio, and ∼48% greater insulin sensitivity (all P < 0.05) than women matched on age, BMI, and whole-body adiposity. In Obese-LIP, macrophage content and expression of genes involved in inflammation and fibrosis were greater, whereas lymph/angiogenesis-related genes were lower in thigh than abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue. Weight loss improved insulin sensitivity and decreased total fat mass, with similar relative reductions in abdominal and leg fat masses, but without changes in markers of inflammation and fibrosis. These results demonstrate that affected adipose tissue in women with lipedema is characterized by increased inflammation and fibrogenesis, and alterations in lymphatic and vascular biology. Moderate diet-induced weight loss improves metabolic function and decreases lower-body adipose tissue mass.

Article Highlights

We sought to increase our understanding of the pathophysiology of lipedema and the effects of weight loss. We examined whether there are differences in upper- and lower-body adipose tissue biology in lipedema and whether adipose tissue is affected by weight loss. Women with obesity and lipedema have decreased expression of genes related to lymphatic/vascular function and increased expression of genes related to fibrosis and inflammation in thigh compared with abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue; weight loss increased insulin sensitivity and decreased leg fat but did not affect adipose tissue inflammation or fibrosis. Weight loss should be the first-line therapy for women with obesity and lipedema.

Identified genetic loci for C-peptide and age at diagnosis (AAD) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) explain only a small proportion of their variation. Here, we aimed to perform large metagenome-wide association studies (GWAS) of C-peptide and AAD in T1D; and to identify the HLA allele/haplotypes associated with C-peptide and AAD. 7,252 and 7,923 European individuals with T1D were included in C-peptide and AAD GWAS, respectively. HLA-DQB1*06:02 which is strongly protective against T1D was associated with higher C-peptide. HLA-DQB1*03:02, HLADRB1*03:01 and HLA-A*24:02 which increase T1D risk were independently associated with younger AAD. HLA-DR3-DR4 haplotype combination, the strongest T1D susceptibility factor, was associated with younger AAD. Outside HLA region, rs115673528 on Chr5 (GABRG2) was associated with C-peptide, and an indel, rs111970692, on Chr15 within CTSH, a known T1D locus, was associated with AAD. Genetically predicted CTSH expression, methylation and protein levels were associated with AAD; Mendelian randomization analysis suggested that higher levels of procathepsin H reduce AAD. In conclusion, some HLA allele/haplotypes associated with T1D also contribute to variability of C-peptide and AAD. Outside HLA, T1D loci are generally not associated with C-peptide or AAD. CTSH could be a potential therapeutic target to delay development/progression of type 1 diabetes.

Published: December 2024

Lung cancer's high mortality rate makes early detection crucial. Machine learning techniques, especially convolutional neural networks (CNN), play a very important role in lung nodule detection. Traditional machine learning approaches often require manual feature extraction, while CNNs, as a specialized type of neural network, automatically learn features directly from the data. However, tuning CNN hyperparameters, such as network structure and training parameters, is computationally intensive. Bayesian Optimization offers a solution by efficiently selecting parameter values. This study develops a CNN classification model with hyperparameter tuning using Bayesian Optimization, achieving a 97.2% accuracy. Comparatively, Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm methods each resulted in 96.4% accuracy. The research concludes that Bayesian Optimization is an effective approach for CNN hyperparameter tuning in lung nodule classification.

Published: December 2024

Environmental cleanliness is an essential aspect of life to create healthy and comfortable conditions. In Indonesia, the volume of waste will reach 70 million tons by 2022, with around 24 percent or 16 million tons not being managed properly. To address the significant growth of waste, the Ministry of Environment has developed the Waste Bank initiative to educate the public in sorting waste as well as raising awareness of the importance of wise waste management. The desire of the local environmental agency to connect with the community, supports the author to develop the Waste Bank application, before that an optimal User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design is needed. This research designs UI and UX for the Waste Bank mobile application using the User Centered Design (UCD) method supported by the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The resulting prototypes were tested and evaluated with UEQ, showing significant improvements in design. The first design scored above average but still required improvement, while the second design scored excellent in all six aspects measured: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulation, novelty, with significant improvement in all aspects. These results show that the UCD and UEQ methods are effective for producing UI/UX designs that can meet user needs and can be applied in the process of creating application designs in the future.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the academic performance of students from the 2020 and 2023 cohorts, highlighting differences in activity, attendance, task completion, midterm and final exam scores, and perceptions of educational metrics. A data mining approach was applied to predict students' GPA using Decision Tree, Random Forest, Multinomial Naïve Bayes, and Gaussian Naïve Bayes algorithms. The Gaussian Naïve Bayes model showed the highest accuracy of 0.93 for the 2020 cohort and 0.92 for the 2023 cohort, with the lowest error rate making it the most effective predictor. Feature importance analysis revealed that task completion and exam scores were the most influential factors, while students' perceptions had a lesser impact. The findings suggest that direct academic metrics should be the focus for improving student performance. This study emphasizes the need for further refinement of predictive models and suggests incorporating both academic metrics and student perceptions for a holistic understanding of student performance.

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology enables electronic devices to connect to the Internet for real-time data collection and analysis. In greenhouses, IoT is used to monitor soil moisture and environmental conditions to support grape plant care. This study proposes a grape plant monitoring system using a master-slave architecture and the ESP-NOW protocol to reduce reliance on Wi-Fi networks, thus minimizing delay and packet loss. The system leverages direct communication between master and slave nodes. Testing results show an average delay of 1,546.65 ms, jitter of 120.56 ms, and packet loss of only 0.07% from 88,815 data transmissions in one day. Despite variations in packet loss due to power interruptions, the system consistently demonstrates reliable data transmission. Overall, this system proves to be reliable for real-time monitoring in greenhouses, offering stable performance and high data accuracy.
