Authors: Putra Fauzan Prasetyo Eka , Ubaidi Ubaidi , Saputra Rama Nurja , Haris Farras Maulana , Barokah Selviana Nur Rizqi
Published: August 2024

Monitoring water quality in fish ponds is essential to maintain fish health and productivity. In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) technology has emerged as an effective solution to efficiently monitor and manage water quality. This article describes the application of IoT technology in monitoring the water quality of aquaculture ponds with the aim of improving fish productivity and welfare. Data on water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia levels, and turbidity can be monitored in real time through a network of connected sensors. The main advantage of using IoT for fish pond water quality monitoring is that it can provide accurate and fast information on water conditions. This allows fish farmers to proactively take appropriate actions to maintain an optimal water environment for fish growth. In addition, integration with data management and remote monitoring systems allows fish pond owners to continuously monitor water conditions, even in remote locations. This helps reduce the risk of environmental damage and fish loss due to inappropriate water quality conditions. Therefore, the use of IoT technology for water quality monitoring in fish ponds not only increases productivity but also ensures the well-being of fish and reduces negative impacts on the environment.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to empirically examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility and Good Corporate Governance on the financial performance of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2020. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method. The population in this study were all banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2020, where the sample used was purposive sampling criteria and obtained as many as 10 banking companies. The data analysis technique used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis, F test, and t test. Based on the research results, it can be seen that Corporate Social Responsibility has a negative and insignificant effect on the financial performance of banking companies. The reason is because Corporate Social Responsibility activities in Indonesia are still based on volunteerism, so that many companies still consider Corporate Social Responsibility activities as a burden that can reduce company profits and have no effect on financial performance. In addition, the results of this study also found that Good Corporate Governance (which is proxied by the proportion of the number of commissioners and directors) has a positive and significant effect on the financial performance of banking companies. The reason is that the more the number of boards of commissioners and the board of directors in a company can help create good governance within the company, so that the creation of good governance within a company can help improve financial performance.

Published: August 2024

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) continues to raise its ugly head in society, depriving people of their right to a safe and peaceful life. Women are not spared from this predicament despite numerous efforts by civil rights activists, governments and non-governmental organizations to minimize GBV and its impact. The Covid-19 induced lockdown promoted isolation and confinement in homes. Confinement to homes fostered tension and strain linked to financial, security and health problems; hence the lockdown became a perfect breeding environment for aggressive behavior. This study examined the experiences of female GBV survivors during Covid-19 induced lockdown in Epworth. The study used the descriptive research design to explore the nature of abuse and the effects of the experiences on GBV survivors during lockdown. Non-probability sampling was used to select the participants of this study through purposive sampling. Key-informants and GBV survivors constituted the sample which participated in the research. The findings revealed how over 50% of the female GBV survivors were exploited into having sex or performing sexual acts by their male partners during the restricted movements.

A Critical Analysis of Islam and Pakistan
Authors: Younas Albert
Published: August 2024

This article describes the current religious, political and social practices, the worldviews of different scholars on these practices and my understanding of these worldviews, with a particular focus on Islam and Pakistan. It is considered that Islam is a religion that promotes authoritarianism, patriarchy and moralistic views, but I argue against such allegations based on the Quran and its scholars. At the same time, this article is an attempt to develop a critique of unjust socio-religious practices in the name of Islam, a misleading education system, and the question of why Islam was being misinterpreted or interpreted differently by specific schools of thought. These misinterpretations can be observed in the issues of gender inequality, forced marriages, corporal punishment, discriminating minorities, victimizing other groups who have different religious opinions and introduction of brutal laws like the Hudood Ordinance. This article is also a critical review of political decisions made by politicians throughout the history of Pakistan by using Islam for political gains.

O artigo analisa as práticas da indústria de celulose e seus subprodutos no extremo-norte do Espírito Santo, entre os municípios de Conceição da Barra e São Mateus, ao longo dos últimos 60 anos. Para tanto, apresenta o processo de entrada da indústria de celulose nesse território, conhecido como Sapê do Norte, onde vivem mais de 30 comunidades quilombolas. Discutiremos a lógica e a forma dos monocultivos de eucalipto, seus efeitos e, mais recentemente, os conflitos ontológicos decorrentes da crítica advinda dos quilombolas e ativistas parceiros quanto aos modos de gestão do lugar por parte da empresa do ramo da celulose. Desse modo, analisamos os processos e as práticas de construção de mundo dos colonizadores - corporações do extrativismo, grandes proprietários de terra e o Estado - enquanto desenhos ontológicos coloniais. Concluímos que é possível observar a atualização das tecnologias coloniais da indústria de celulose, da violência estritamente coercitiva com o uso do aparato militar do Estado, para a era da gestão dos conflitos e da crítica, permanecendo como parte fundamental do processo de manutenção dos não humanos e de humanos como sujeitos colonizados dentro de uma construção de mundo colonial.

Published: August 2024

O artigo analisa como um grupo de pessoas percebeu, em meados dos anos 1960, problemas decorrentes do modo de ocupação do território brasileiro e durante a ditadura criou a ABRA para propor reforma agrária como solução. As evidências foram obtidas em uma pesquisa qualitativa que combinou revisão bibliográfica com entrevistas e questionários. A análise mostra que ao longo de quase cinquenta anos o grupo tentou aproveitar janelas de oportunidade para propor mecanismos legais de regulação do direito à propriedade da terra (como a função ou a obrigação social) e redistribuição de terras (como tributação ou desapropriação) como forma de incluir trabalhadores rurais no desenvolvimento nacional. Todavia, as expectativas na definição destes mecanismos desencadearam reações que diminuíram a participação relativa do grupo nas decisões políticas. Em meio ecos desenvolvimentistas, a análise suscita inquietações sobre quem, quando e como pode falar de problemas e soluções para os conflitos por terra e território no país.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze, through an experimental study with a quantitative and descriptive approach, the toxicity and identification of the 50% Lethal Concentration (LC50) of the reference and generic paracetamol drops, both commercially available and produced in Brazil, comparing them with each other. The lethality test was performed on Artemia salina according to the methodology described by Meyer (1982), with some modifications. When performing the toxicity test on Artemia salina, for generic paracetamol, the LC50 obtained after 24 hours was 998.3 ± 0.2μg/mL. The reference paracetamol presented LC50 of 612.2 ± 1.3μg/mL. Based on the analysis of this research, it was found that the reference paracetamol presented signs of toxicity in nauplii of the microcrustacean Artemia salina, presenting a LC50 ≤1000μg/mL. Generic paracetamol showed a LC50 ≤1000μg/mL with a range above 1000 ug/mL indicating non-toxicity for this sample.

SIMULASI PENGURUTAN DATA DENGAN ALGORITMA HEAP SORT
Authors: Situmorang Harold
Published: August 2024

Struktur data dari algoritma Heap Sort adalah sebuah pohon biner sempurna yang memenuhi properti heap. Node akar (root node) memiliki data terbesar atau terkecil yang terdapat pada pohon. Demikian juga pada subtree-nya, dimana node induk (parent) memiliki data yang paling besar atau paling kecil dibandingkan dengan data pada kedua anaknya (child node sebelah kiri atau sebelah kanan). Struktur data heap adalah sebuah objek array yang dapat divisualisasikan dengan sebuah complete binary tree. Hubungan antara elemen dari array dan node pada pohon merupakan hubungan korespondensi satu satu. Pohon diisi secara penuh pada semua level, kecuali kemungkinan terkecil, dimana diisi dari kiri sampai ke sebuah titik. Semua node dari heap juga memenuhi relasi bahwa nilai kunci pada setiap node minimal sama besar dengan nilai dari node anaknya. Setelah menyelesaikan perangkat lunak bantu pemahaman Heap Sort, perangkat lunak menjelaskan algoritma pengurutan Heap Sort dan gambar keadaan pohon biner secara bertahap serta menampilkan Form Teori, sehingga dapat membantu pemahaman mengenai pengurutan dengan metode Heap Sort. Algoritma pengurutan Heap Sort merupakan salah satu metode pengurutan tercepat setelah Merge Sort dan Quick Sort dengan kompleksitas O(n log n). Kompleksitas prosedur Build-Heap adalah O(n), kompleksitas prosedur Heapify adalah O(log n), sehingga kompleksitas algoritma Heap Sort adalah O(n log n).

PENERAPAN STEGANOGRAFI PADA SEBUAH CITRA
Authors: Damanik Burhanuddin
Published: August 2024

Steganografi adalah teknik penyembunyian data atau informasi didalam media digital sehingga orang tidak akan menyadari keberadaan data atau informasi rahasia tersebut. Steganografi pada saat ini banyak dilakukan pada media digital dan salah satunya adalah citra. Pesan yang hendak disisipkan dibalik suatu citra dibuat sedemikian rupa agar menyatu dengan citra tersebut, namun tertampilkan secara kasat mata, sehingga tidak terdeteksi oleh pihak lawan maupun pihak yang menginginkan informasi tersebut secara tidak sah. Berdasarkan karakteristik citra, maksimum data yang dapat disimpan pada citra   terbatas. Dengan keterbatasan tersebut maka perlu diketahui berapa kapasitas data  yang  dapat  disisipi  kesuatu  citra  dan  berapa  besar  penurunan  kualitas  citra apabila disisipi oleh suatu data. Dengan mengetahui berapa kapasitas citra maka data yang akan disisipi tidak akan merubah citra yang akan disisipi sehingga data tidak akan terdeteksi secara kasat mata.
