Abstract
Problems: Indonesia is stated by the constitution with the system of the Republic of Indonesia. However, the fulfillment of the conception of the State of law gave birth to many regulations regulating the objects of law that are the obligations of the subjects of law as the implementation of the modern legal State. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust between regulations to create a harmonization of legislation.
Purposes : The research aims to analyze the policy of regulatory harmonization between the central government and local governments related to the framework of national interests and social welfare.
Methodology : This research uses a normative juridical approach that perceives law as a norm, rule or principle to analyze data systematically with existing regulations.
Results and Discussions : The government's efforts in harmonizing regulations are efforts to improve the quality of law by taking into account national goals and interests. The problem of regulatory harmonization lies in the relationship between the central government and local governments, where it is necessary to adjust and evaluate laws and regulations according to the hierarchy of laws and regulations in Indonesia. Therefore, any regulation must adjust and be deemed invalid if new legislation is enacted and the regulation remains in effect as long as it does not conflict with the higher regulations.

Published: March 2023

n emerging countries, information technology (IT) and access to financial services (AFS) are critical determinants determining household income. However, little is known about how IT and AFS work together to increase home wellbeing. This research aims to look into the influence of access to financial services in mediating the impact of IT on household income in Ghana. The study investigates the role of social networks as a moderator in the IT-AFS interaction. A multi-stage sampling strategy was used to collect data from 478 farmers for this study. The study discovered that having access to technology and financial services increases household income. Due to the mediation role of access to financial services, the positive impact of access to IT on household income was also proven. The variable, social network, influenced these mechanisms. This research shows how having access to technology and financial inclusion can help people get out of poverty. This work adds to the body of knowledge. The paper includes policies for ensuring IT and AFS development to improve the welfare of rural households.

На теперішній час велика частина управлінських рішень залишається неформалізованою, що спричинено недосконалістю апарата, який не призначений для опису і врахування усіх особливостей процесу управління. Висока динамічність бойових дій та значна невизначеність умов обстановки призводить до значного ускладнення своєчасного і обґрунтованого прийняття управлінського рішення. Враховуючи велику кількість факторів та параметрів, задача розпізнавання дій засобів повітряного нападу не може бути вирішена використанням звичайних методів оцінки, так як при великій кількості нечітких показників, які присутні в даній оцінці, неможливо отримати комплексну оцінку різнорідних за змістом та природою величин. Тому при розробці методу використовується апарат нечіткої логіки, що дозволяє оперувати невизначеною інформацією та дозволяє з деякою точністю наблизити результати до гранично вірних. В результаті проведених досліджень було використано ієрархічну нечітку продукційну модель, за допомогою якої вдається визначити межі допустимих і оптимальних значень вхідних змінних. У процесі формалізації знань проведено аналіз вхідних параметрів, які отримані з керівних документів, досвіду та методом експертних оцінок.
Towards Full (er) Integration in Mixed Methods Research: The Role of Canonical Correlation Analysis for Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Data
Authors: Onwuegbuzie Anthony J.
Published: March 2023

One of the biggest developments in mixed methods research has been the conceptualization of one or more analysis types associated with one tradition (e.g., qualitative analysis) being used to analyze data associated with a different tradition (e.g., quantitative data)—what Onwuegbuzie and Combs (2010) called crossover mixed analyses, or, more simply, crossover analyses. A hallmark of crossover analyses is the notion of quantitizing, which, in its simplest form, involves converting qualitative data into numerical forms that can be analyzed statistically. The focus on quantitizing has been on descriptive-based quantitizing approaches such as counting the occurrence of emergent themes. Unfortunately, scant guidance exists on inferential-based quantitizing, which refers to the quantitizing of qualitative data for the purpose of prediction or estimation (Onwuegbuzie, in press). Although recent literature has emerged on a few inferential-based quantitizing approaches (i.e., multiple linear regression analysis, structural equation modeling, hierarchical linear modeling), there still remains some general linear model analyses for which mixed methods researchers, in pursuit of conducting crossover analyses, can benefit from guidelines. One such analysis is canonical correlation analysis. Its importance stems from the fact that the analysis of qualitative data typically yields multiple patterns of meaning (e.g., codes, themes), which then can be correlated with other available variables (e.g., demographic variables, personality variables, affective variables) via the use of canonical correlation analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this article is (a) to describe canonical correlation analysis and (b) to illustrate how canonical correlation analyses can serve as an inferential-based quantitizing using a heuristic example.
“The Serious Writer” John B. Priestley: Strategies for Creative Success as a Writer
Authors: Makarenko Larisa Victorovna
Published: March 2023

The author of the article brings up for discussion the question of the creative success of the English writer John Boynton Priestley within the more large-scale and relevant for modern literary criticism problem of the artist’s literary reputation. The aim of covering this problem is to clarify the position of the writer in the general literary process of the twentieth century and to determine his personality as a specific component of English literature of the last century. The presentation of these problems has been undertaken in the format of introductory theses, but even in this form it has not been systematically carried out before. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the approaches to a comprehensive analysis of J. B. Priestley’s literary reputation, which allows us to create a more complete picture of this author and his image in the reader. An attempt was made to comprehend the personality of J. B. Priestley in the first row of classical authors and the idea of him as a writer of the “second echelon” was refuted. In the course of the undertaken scientific research, individual facts of J. B. Priestley’s life-creating practice were identified and systematized, reflecting the specifics of the creative behaviour and success of the writer, and their role in developing writer’s literary reputation among his contemporaries was substantiated. The results of the study showed the original position of Priestley, a man and a writer, independent of the conjuncture. The presentation of these problems, which were not previously comprehended systematically, can serve as the foundation for a detailed study of Priestley’s literary reputation, which indicates the promise of this research direction.
Function Neologism "Если говорить…" (If We Talk…):
Morphological Status and Communicative-Pragmatic Potential
Authors: Semenova Inna Vladimirovna
Published: March 2023

The study aims to identify the functional purpose of function units formed according to the model with a free lexical component – "Если говорить..." (If we talk) in the speech continuum. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that a group of units that are little studied in linguistic science, which can replenish the corpus of function words, is analysed. The paper describes possible lexico-grammatical implementations of the model "Если говорить...", considers the role of neologisms in the text in the for-mal-syntactic and communicative-pragmatic aspects. As a result, it has been proved that the model "Если говорить..." has two main lexico-grammatical variants: "Если говорить + о N6" (When it comes to…)
and "Если говорить + Adv" (To put it…); function units formed within these schemes act as textual con-nectors or as parenthetical constructions, in addition, they serve as mode operators, explicating the com-municative intentions of the speech subject. The paper describes the pragmatic meanings of these mode operators. It has been concluded that the function units under consideration belong to the style of journal-ism and belles-lettres, where the author of speech uses all the lexical resources of the language to achieve
a communicative effect and meet the expectations of the speech addressee.
Discourse Markers and Speech Strategies (on the Material of the German Language)
Authors: Serebrova Olesia Felixovna
Published: March 2023

The paper deals with the notions of speech influence and speech strategies. Along with the description of various points of view on speech and communication strategies, the question of the classification of strategies is touched upon, the main and auxiliary strategies are identified. A speech strategy is understood as a set of speech actions aimed at achieving a communicative goal. The focus is on the functions of discourse markers and their ability to implement certain speech strategies. The research determines the pragmatic potential of discourse markers focused on the implementation of different speech strategies. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that it is the first attempt to consider discourse markers from the perspective of the speaker’s implementation of certain speech strategies in an utterance. As a result, it has been shown that discourse markers serve to implement the cooperation strategy, on the one hand, and the evasion strategy, on the other hand. They are an integral component of the communicative process and are necessary for maintaining communication as they indicate the importance of subsequent information, as well as for selecting the correct wording, and for the moving on to another topic and interrupting the interlocutor or marking the inexpediency of continuing the conversation.

Authors: GÜNEŞ Haluk , ÖZDEL Salih
Published: March 2023

In this study, temperatures of samples welded by 3 different welding sorting has been measured and displacements occurring on the part after wielding have been determined and an experimental comparison has been made in this regard. The welded part belongs to the front loader used in tractors. Material of the mod-el is S355j2+N. In the experimental study, 3 samples have been welded for each process. In Process 1, welding lines have been observed outside to inside, in Pro-cess 2 inside to outside, and in Process 3 from right to left. For all parts, welding parameters and welding speed have been fixed. Welding manufacture and cool-ing processes have lasted 3000 seconds in total. 4 points have been determined in order to measure the temperature of the part during the experiment. For deter-mination of displacement amount, sample parts have been measured by means of 3-dimensional laser measuring device before and after welding. When results of experiment are examined, it has been observed that temperatures curves are similar in processes no. 1 and 3; and the process has been completed by lower temperature in process no. 2. The highest temperatures measured in processes 1, 2 and 3 are respectively as 380oC, 272oC ve 310oC. Displacements of circular and cylindric points are respectively as 2.17 mm, 1.22 mm, 2.12mm. Maximum displacements of the surfaces are as 0.40 mm, 0.41 mm, 0.80 mm for process 1; as 0.10 mm, 0.28 mm, 0.83 mm for process 2; and as 0.71 mm 0.77 mm 1.39 mm for process 2. It has been concluded that process no. 2 has lower temperatures and less displacements. Less amount of displacement or distortion provides use of parts without applying correction afterwards, and eliminates surplus work-manship and time loss.

Introduction: Reappraisal is one of the highly modifiable resilience factors and an important emotion regulation strategy. Reappraisal training can be delivered via mobile apps; however, such apps have typically combined reappraisal with other techniques. To address this gap, we developed ReApp, which engages users solely in reappraisal. Methods: For two trials, we invited 40 and 95 young adults with low levels of reappraisal skills. Participants were randomized into either control (CG) or intervention group (IG). The CG had access only to the Ecological Momentary Assessment component of the app, while the IG could also access the reappraisal training. We analyzed the self-report data using linear mixed models.Results: In both trials, adherence was high. Trial 1 revealed that only participants with very low reappraisal skills at baseline benefited from ReApp. This outcome was replicated in Trial 2 but there were no significant differences between the groups in the follow-up in mental health symptoms severity.Discussion: High adherence suggests that participants found it easy to integrate ReApp into their daily routines. Furthermore, ReApp successfully increased reappraisal in individuals with low level of reappraisal skills. Future studies will focus on assessing the efficacy of EMI-delivered reappraisal training on healthy and clinical populations.
An examination of current sociopolitical issues in the United States of America
Authors: McManus John D
Published: March 2023

Scholars in various social science disciplines and journalists recording events have been and will likely be examining the second and third decades of the 21st century far into the future. This paper examines current United States’ domestic issues but similar internal sociopolitical factors have occurred internationally. There has been a growing distrust of politicians, belief in conspiracy myths, inaccurate or false information. Explored are the erroneous claims of conservatives, along with their media supporters, versus the facts regarding the U.S. crime rate and illegal immigration. The possible antecedents are presented. Digital media, cable TV, and other forms of communication prompted falsehoods with a good portion of the U.S. public accepting those claims are valid. The belief in conspiracy myths and false narratives can become part of an individual’s worldview. Modifying a worldview, unlike correcting a single mistaken belief, is a challenging task. On January 6, 2021 a mob had been incited to storm the U.S. Capital building. They believed the 2020 election was a fraud. The president about to be certified was based on an illegitimate election thus the process had to be stopped. Violent bodily harm and destruction of property ensued. The individuals involved apparently did not consider the possible failure of their actions and the consequences. The factors and counterarguments that can influence people to accept conspiracy myth beliefs, faulty claims, and hold intractable worldviews, that provide a basis for actions against authority, are discussed.

The Effect of Storage Time on the Dimensional Stability of Zinc Oxide Eugenol Impression Material Under Dry and Moist Conditions - An In- Vitro Study
Authors: Limbu IK , Pathak B , Basnet BB
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Accurate impression is an important factor to fabricate accurate dental casts and ultimately accurate dental prostheses. Due to time constraints, sometimes there is need of storing impression for some time which may alter the dimension. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dimensional stability of zinc oxide eugenol impression paste at different time intervals and in twoconditions, dry and wet storage.
Methods: Sixty study molds of zinc oxide eugenol impression material were prepared according to American dental Association specification no 19 for non-aqueous elastic dental impression materials and the distance between two specific lines were measured at different time intervals. The paired t test was utilized to assess the difference in mean dimension of the molds from specified time to the original measurement immediately after setting.
Results: In dry storage condition, the dimensional changes were not seen up to 24 hours, but at 36 hours, there is statistically significant dimensional change. In wet condition, there was significant change in dimension after 6 hours onwards.
Conclusion: The dimensional change was not significant up to 24 hours in dry condition. Thus, it can be poured up to 24 hours after setting. Dimensional stability was not seen after 6 hour and hence is recommended to pour within 30 minutes if kept under wet condition.

Authors: Adhikari S , Bhattarai R
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Dental students, during their clinical and preclinical practices, are constantly exposed to a number of occupational hazards. Such exposures lead to various ailments and diseases. The study was done to assess the awareness regarding occupational hazards among dental students in College of Medical Sciences, Nepal.
Methods: A questionnaire-based, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the dental students from College of Medical Sciences, Nepal. Demographic details and awareness on different variables like bioaerosols, X-rays, blue light radiation, vibration, noise, posture, ergonomics, mercury vapour inhalation and percutaneous incidents, were assessed with the close-ended questions.Questionnaire was delivered to the participants in paper-printed forms. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 17. Chi-square tests were done to find the association between the variables to education and gender and the level of significance was set at p<0.05.
Results: The mean knowledge score for the male students was higher than that for the female students and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Fourth year students had the highest mean knowledge score (6.25±1.70) and second year students (2.71±2.43) had the lowest, and the scores were statistically significant (p<0.001). More than two-third of the students (72.8%) did not know that vibration causes peripheral neuropathy; more than three-fifth of them (61.7%) didn’t know that noise induced hearing loss is possible at dental settings and; about three-fifth of them (59.3%) did not know that X-ray hazards can be mitigated by barrier methods and position distance rule.
Conclusion: The awareness regarding the radiation hazards, vibration hazards and noise induced hazards seem to be limited among the dental students. The study suggests introducing specific intervention programs like occupational safety seminars, trainings or workshops, for the dental students, before the commencement of their practical classes.

Authors: Poudel Guru Prasad
Published: March 2023

Speaking components included in the English language curriculum or textbooks aim at developing communication abilities of the students. The effective practise of dealing with those components can enhance students’ efficiency in communication. However, the existing practise of teaching speaking in public schools of Nepal, especially located in rural and low-resourced areas does not seem supportive for developing students’ efficiency in communication abilities. In this connection, the present article aims to figure out the practise of teaching speaking in rural and low-resourced schools, use of the strategies in dealing with speaking components and the problems faced by the teachers. It has been developed out of the insights collected through case study research. The required information was accumulated through classroom observation. During the observation, it has been found that speaking component in the class was dealt with the practise of whole class discussion, pair work, group work, individual work, picture description, loud reading and repetition drills, telling stories, oral games, problem-solving, and sharing experiences. The teacher faced the problems of student-student chatting in their mother language while engaging in group discussion, low participation, hesitation and unwillingness to in taking part in the interaction, lack of enough and effective materials, difficulty to comprehend ideas expressed in English, and lack of the exposure in speaking in English. The findings make a call for innovative and technologically enhanced activities for the practise of speaking. The study concludes that participate reaction research is required for exploring the ways to address the problems in developing speaking efficiency.

Implementation of government regulation on Disposable Plastic Reduction at Surabaya
Authors: Hanik Siti Umi , Kusuma Maritha Nilam
Published: March 2023

Plastic has the advantage of being durable, cheap, and easy to get everywhere and we are increasingly dependent. And most of the plastics we use are single-use plastics, as a result, if they are not managed properly, they will become waste and have a negative impact on the environment. With the decomposition period which is too long, which is 100-500 years, this will be a problem if it is not managed properly, such as being burned which has a bad impact on health, or being disposed of carelessly in the end until it reaches the sea and will cause damage to the marine ecosystem. The issuance of Mayor Regulation No. 16 of 2022 which regulates the reduction of single-use plastic in the city of Surabaya is expected to maintain environmental sustainability and reduce the generation of waste entering the Final Processing Site. The purpose of this study is to know or analyze the extent of the implementation of Mayor Regulation No. 16 of 2022 regarding the reduction of single-use plastic in the city of Surabaya. The research method used is normative juridical, namely by analyzing problems based on applicable regulations and also the literature that discusses the problem. And the results of this study are that it can be stated that these regulations, namely regulations for reducing single-use plastics, can be obeyed and carried out well by several parties, namely from the community, business actors, modern shops, retail, restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets. And there needs to be socialization, and monitoring for the enforcement of this regulation so that it is carried out optimally.

U radu se istražuje usmena književnost Bistre, opisuju se vrste i oblici koji se pojavljuju, kao i teme i motivi koji prevladavaju u kazivanjima prema dostupnim izvorima. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se usmena književnost bistranskoga kraja ponajviše temelji na usmenoj lirici, folklornom kazalištu i usmenoj predaji što su tijekom terenskoga istraživanja 1970-ih godina zabilježili istraživači Instituta za etnologiju i folkloristiku (tada: Institut za narodnu umjetnost). Komparativna je analiza pokazala da se pojedine teme i motivi u zapisanim pjesmama iz drugih krajeva pojavljuju u bistranskim inačicama usmene lirike. U istraživanjima folklornoga kazališta zabilježene su dramske scene mahom vezane uz vjerske blagdane, pokladne maškare i svadbene običaje, dok su u usmenoj predaji zabilježeni zapisi o Seljačkoj buni, kmetovima i feudalcima i liku Matije Gupca. U današnje se vrijeme očuvanjem i promicanjem bistranske usmene tradicije bave članovi Kulturno-umjetničkoga društva „Bistra“, Udruga „Ekomuzej Bistra“, kao i druge bistranske udruge, mještani i istraživači.

BACKGROUND: The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved cell signaling pathway that plays an indispensable role in essential developmental processes. Aberrant activation of Notch pathway is known to initiate wide array of diseases and cancers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical significance of Notch receptors in Triple Negative Breast Cancer. METHODS: We evaluated the association between Notch receptors and clinicopathological parameters including disease-free survival and overall survival of one hundred TNBC patients by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Positive expression of nuclear Notch1 receptor (18%) was found be significantly correlated with positive lymph node (p = 0.009), high BR score (p = 0.02) and necrosis (p = 0.004) while cytoplasmic expression of Notch2 receptor (26%) was significantly correlated with metastasis (p = 0.05), worse DFS (p = 0.05) and poor OS (p = 0.02) in TNBC patients. Membrane (18%) and cytonuclear (3%) Notch3 expression were significantly associated with poorly differentiated tumors (p = 0.007), high BR score (p = 0.002) and necrosis (p = 0.03) respectively. However, cytoplasmic Notch3 and Notch4 expression were negatively correlated with poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicated that Notch receptors play a key role in promoting TNBC and mainly, Notch2 may contribute to poor prognosis of the disease. Hence, it is implicated that Notch2 may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for TNBC.
A deep learning approach to detect phishing websites using CNN for privacy protection

Nowadays, with the variety of internet frauds, every web user while browsing the net is vulnerable to being a target of various attacks. The phishing attack is one of the largest and most effective cyber threats; it is a sort of social engineering technique employed by web hackers, with the aim of deceiving users and stealing their credentials for financial gain. The continuous growth and the rising volume of phishing websites have led researchers to propose several anti-phishing solutions to fight against this cyber-attack such as visual similarity-based approaches, list-based approaches, machine learning, heuristics-based techniques … etc, moreover deep learning in recent years has gained increasing interest in several areas, especially in the phishing detection area. In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach to detect phishing websites using convolutional neural networks testing both 1D CNN & 2D CNN with three feature types, URL-based features, content-based features, and third-party services-based features. The experimental results show that 1D CNN is more adequate for phishing detection and it achieves a high accuracy value of 96.76%. Moreover, it reduces the training time compared to other deep learning-based works.

Depending on the characteristics of the cancer and the specific treatment required, each type of cancer comes with a unique set of challenges in the psychological wellbeing of women. This research work mainly focuses on Ovarian cancer since the it is one of the 5th leading cancers among women. As per the statistics of 2021, by the American Cancer Society, 21,410 women would be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 13,770 women might die from ovarian cancer. Both physically and psychologically, ovarian cancer presents several challenges. To control the growth of the tumour, multiple treatments are required. The psychological issues in women with ovarian cancer is mainly due to “loss of femininity” that affects them while they proceed through the phases of diagnosis, treatment and recurrence. Psychological factors associated with both, having ovarian cancer and being at risk are considered in this study. In the proposed work, PHQ 9 and GAD 7 are the tools used to measure depression and anxiety among women who are undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. The data, collected with the help of these tools, is analysed using the popular Machine Learning algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network etc. The results of Machine Learning algorithms are then compared with Mamdani and Sugeno fuzzy inference models. The Sugeno fuzzy inference system outperformed in comparison to all other models, with an accuracy of 96.2% for depression and 98.83% for anxiety, followed by Mamdani fuzzy inference system giving 94.3% accuracy for depression and 96.7% for anxiety. The performance is then compared with the linear SVM which obtained an accuracy of 91.52% for depression and 93.78% for anxiety. The analysed performance of the data using computational algorithms are compared with that of expert clinical psychologists. The severely affected women are advised to visit a psychiatrist.
