Authors: Mufarrohah Mufarrohah , Utami Rachma Bhakti
Published: May 2024

Purpose – This service aims to increase the capacity of Pondok Pesantren managers in reading and compiling financial report information using the web-based “Akunku” application. Through this service activity, it is hoped that the training participants will be able to map accounts at Pondok Pesantren and compile financial reports according to Pondok Pesantren financial management standards with the help of a tool in the form of the web-based My Account application, which can present financial reports in real-time and is easily accessible from anywhere.
Design/methodology/approach – This service is carried out through several stages of activity, namely (1) providing basic accounting materials, (2) journaling practices and inputting transactions through the “Akunku” application, and (3) the practice of reading financial statement information through the “Akunku” application. The stages of community service begin with the pretest and end with the posttest to determine the increase in the human resource capacity of managing Pondok Pesantren.
Findings – There are 13 Pondok Pesantren assisted by Bank Indonesia, categorized as modern boarding schools. The thirteen Pondok Pesantren are categorized as modern because the activities of the students include religious education accompanied by formal education at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI), Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTS), Madrasah Aliyah (MA) and Higher Education levels. In addition, the thirteen Pondok Pesantren instilled an entrepreneurial spirit in the students through a business unit at the Pondok Pesantren. However, the thirteen Pondok Pesantren were constrained in compiling financial reports due to the lack of knowledge of accounting-related human resources and the absence of supporting tools in preparing financial reports.
Originality/value – The posttest results show that service implementation can be effective, as shown by a better understanding than before there was capacity building. This service provides a new understanding for Pondok Pesantren managers regarding preparing financial reports for Pondok Pesantren. Preparing Pondok Pesantren financial reports using the “Akunku” application was chosen because of the ease of access from anywhere.

MULTI-LAYERED ARCHITECTURE CONVOLUTION NEURAL NETWORKS FOR DIAGNOSING AND PREDICTING HEART DISEASES ON MULTI-MODAL
Authors: - Varsha , Maran P Sardar
Published: May 2024

Recently, heart diseases are increasing daily with the current lifestyle. Different types of cardiac diseases need to be diagnosed accurately for faster treatment to avoid death rates. Heart diseases are susceptible to attack a person speedily and cause sudden deaths. Medical experts are confused while diagnosing a person who comes in a medical emergency. In-time diagnosis, accurate prediction, and the proper treatment can save patients from heart diseases. Heart-related diseases cannot be predicted only by ECG data related to other medical information of a patient. This paper aims to develop an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm for analyzing and detecting heart diseases on multi-modal data. One of the advanced machine learning algorithms, Convolution Neural Network, is implemented with different architectural configurations for analyzing Body Mass Index (BMI), Electrocardiogram (ECG), and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). Multiple CNN models are used for analyzing the multi-modal patient data to predict the presence of heart diseases. The CNN models are created by 80% of the training data and validated by 20% of the testing data. Different hyperparameters of the CNN models are tuned well to extract more data features to improve the prediction accuracy. The CNN models are developed in Python for processing and categorizing the feature variables as to whether heart disease is present or not. Medical data analytics require this model to get 98% of prediction accuracy.

Authors: Al Moteri Moteeb , Khan Surbhi Bhatia , Alojail Mohammed
Published: May 2024

The proposed way of estimating the associated macroeconomic index based on a supply chain network is a novel strategy that might give useful insights for firms and organizations trying to enhance their supply chain logistics operations. To aid in this process, the suggested technique utilizes multiple regression analysis and adaptive extreme learning machine models to determine the relative importance of each indicator in the supply chain logistics decision-making process. Firms may be able to save expenses and boost economic value by employing enhanced genetic algorithms and mathematical modeling to develop a logistics distribution model for urban supply chains based on reconstructive genetic algorithms. It is possible that the paper's study of the issues plaguing the current distribution of logistics in metropolitan areas would prove valuable to organizations that are seeking to improve their own supply chain logistics procedures. This paper appears to take a thorough strategy that might assist assure the accuracy of the forecasting method by preprocessing macroeconomic indicators using imputation, classification, and other approaches to generate a time series consistency model. Some novel ways that may shed light on logistics in the supply chain include using a two-dimensional discrete mesh structure built on wireless sensors to depict the national economic development scenario and using a coding matrix to convey the extent of economic growth. A thorough and all-encompassing way that might aid organizations in making better judgments about their supply chain logistics strategies is to employ multiple regression analysis, an adaptive extreme learning machine model, and other approaches to examine the effect degree of each key indicator. Experiments demonstrating excellent and steady prediction accuracy of the algorithm model are encouraging and point to the possible usefulness of the suggested forecasting approach. The paper's contributions, including its analysis of supply chain logistics cost accounting, determination of the basic path optimization, improvement of the genetic algorithm, and design of the mathematical model of supply chain logistics distribution path decision, all look promising in terms of their potential to help businesses cut costs and boost economic value. The positive outcome of the successful design of the mathematical model demonstrates the possible efficacy of the suggested technique.

Published: May 2024

Creating a computational device to identify human emotions via voice analysis represents a notable achievement in the sector of human-computer interaction, especially within the healthcare domain. We propose a new light-weight model for addressing challenges of emotions recognition. The model works based on CNN with change of kernel processing. The proposed model performs a direct matching to recognize speech emotions of different eight categories using a statistical model named Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as kernel for features extraction and Cosine Similarity Measurement (CSM) as activation function for CNN model. This proposed model contains eight-folded single-layered intermediate neurons, and each neuron can segregate speech emotion pattern using CSM from the voice convergence matrix to explore a part of the solution from the whole solution. Experiment results demonstrates that the proposed model outperforms compared with multiple layered existing CNN methods in identifying the emotional state of a speaker.
Autismo adulto, tomada de decisão apoiada, trabalho e moradia assistida: uma perspectiva jurídica
Authors: Farah Fabiana Barrocas Alves , Rocha Maria Cristina Soares
Published: May 2024

O artigo aborda a evidência do autismo em adultos, com foco na tomada de decisão apoiada, curatela, mercado de trabalho e moradia assistida. A discussão sobre autismo adulto tem se tornado cada vez mais relevante, já que muitos indivíduos com o transtorno atingem a idade adulta e enfrentam desafios únicos na vida cotidiana. A tomada de decisão apoiada é um ponto fundamental discutido na pesquisa que busca demonstrar que este instituto trata-se de um modelo que visa capacitar indivíduos com deficiência, em geral, a tomar decisões por si mesmos, respeitando a manifestação da vontade, com o auxílio de pessoas de confiança que os apoiam nesse processo. Este modelo promove a autonomia e a autodeterminação, fundamentais para o desenvolvimento pleno de adultos autistas. Entretanto, a curatela é mencionada como uma prática legal que designa uma pessoa para realizar atividades de vida civil em nome de um adulto considerado incapaz de fazê-lo por si mesmo, levantando preocupações sobre eventual limitação na autonomia dos adultos autistas e restrição de suas liberdades individuais. A pesquisa traz ainda uma discussão sobre mercado de trabalho destacando os desafios que os adultos autistas enfrentam ao buscar emprego e manter-se empregados, diante da discriminação, incompreensão sobre as necessidades individuais e dificuldades de comunicação, obstáculos significativos. Sobre moradia assistida, explora-se as opções de residência disponíveis para adultos autistas, enfatizando a importância de ambientes que ofereçam suporte às suas necessidades, promovendo a independência e a inclusão social. Utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, combinando revisão bibliográfica e registros normativos, apresentando fontes acadêmicas e jurídicas relevantes, explorando conceitos teóricos e precedentes legais pertinentes ao tema. Portanto, a abordagem integrada de suporte e a compreensão das necessidades específicas dos adultos autistas são cruciais para promover uma inclusão mais significativa e uma qualidade de vida plena para essa comunidade negligenciada.

Authors: David Chepkonga , Chepkonga David , Kiogora Roy , Giterere Kang'ethe
Published: May 2024

Fluid flow coupled with heat transfer through a vertical cylindrical Collapsible tube in the presence of a magnetic field and an obstacle has been investigated. The governing equations for this flow are the equations of continuity, motion and energy. These are non linear partial differential equations and has been transformed into non-linear ordinary differential equations by introducing a similarity transformation. The resulting equations are solved simultenously in the bvp4c MATLAB library to obtain the profiles and also the rate of heat transfer has been calculated. The effects of varying the Reynolds number, Hartmann number, Eckert number, Unsteadiness parameter and Prandtl number on fluid temperature , fluid velocity and the rate of heat transfer are presented in the form of tables and graphs and has been discussed. Variation in the various parameters is observed to change the fluid primary velocity, temperature and the rate of heat transfer. This kind of result is important due to its widespread application in physical, biological and applied sciences.

Published: May 2024

Accessing velocity data in the Gulf of Mexico is critical for
environmental conservation and predicting debris and oil spill
movements. This data can provide valuable insights for cleaning the
ocean and mitigating marine pollution. Traditionally, researchers have
relied on physics models to reconstruct and predict velocity fields at
desired spatial and temporal resolutions. However, obtaining this data
is not only computationally expensive but also error-prone. While
accurate measurements can be obtained using ocean drifters, their
sparsity necessitates extensive extrapolation to create comprehensive
velocity fields.We propose applying a deep learning model called Physics-Informed Neural
Networks to reconstruct ocean surface velocity fields using sparse
measurements obtained from drifters. With data from 200 drifters, we
successfully reconstructed the surface velocity field in the Gulf of
Mexico, achieving a Correlation Coefficient of more than 0.91. Notably,
this performance surpasses that of classical data extrapolation methods,
including Inverse Distance Weighted and Universal Kriging algorithms.
Methodological framework of cultural ecosystem service assessment
Authors: Spage Aiga , Skujane Daiga , Nitavska Natalija
Published: May 2024

In recent decades, cultural ecosystem services have been increasingly studied in the field of ecosystem services. Even more diverse studies have been conducted since the Covid-19 pandemic and today's political situation brings cultural ecosystem services, more specifically identity, symbolic, religious and cultural-historical values even more to the fore. Although the services of cultural ecosystems in general are more and more extensively researched, mostly focusing on tourism issues, the cultural-historical, symbolic, religious and entertainment value as base not only for tourism, but also for strengthening local communities, is still rarely studied in research in the world and in Latvia due to the lack of data and the intangible nature of research. Therefore, a methodological framework for conducting such a research, selecting data from publicly available sources, as well as obtaining missing data in field studies. Also, tools for integrating results from assessment of cultural ecosystem services related to identity, religious and symbolic values into political and decision-making documents are missing.
Thus, as a continuation of the study on the assessment of cultural ecosystem services and integration into political and decision-making documents, the aim of the particular article is presentation of a methodological framework developed for the assessment of cultural-historical, symbolic, religious and entertainment values in the landscape. The methodological framework includes seven steps, which are described in this article.
The methodological framework created will be tested and validated in future studies, where improvements may be made depending on the situation during the process.

Authors: Lin Jing , Zhu Li , Chen Yanping , Li Qian , Ke Zhiheng , Zhang Huishan , Huang Yufang , Lu Jianping , Chen Yu
Published: May 2024

There are no standard treatment guidelines for hidradenocarcinoma, and the immune microenvironment and genomic data are very limited. Thus, in this study the immune microenvironment and genomic indicators in hidradenocarcinoma was investigated, and immunotherapy for hidradenocarcinoma was initially explored. Forty-seven hidradenocarcinoma patients were retrospectively collected. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to identify CD3/CD8+ T cells and programmed death ligand-1 expression. In total, 89.4% and 10.6% of samples had Immunoscores of 0–25% and 25–70%. Tumour proportion score distribution was as follows: tumour proportion score < 1% in 72.4%, 1–5% in 17.0%, and > 5% in 10.6%. Combined positive score distribution was as follows: combined positive score < 1 in 63.8%, 1–5 in 14.9%, and > 5 in 21.3%. Next-generation sequencing revealed that TP53 (33%), PI3KCA (22%), and ERBB3 (22%) were the most frequently mutated genes. The PI3K-Akt signalling pathway, growth, and MAPK signalling pathways were significantly enriched. Five patients had a low TMB (< 10 muts/Mb), and 9 patients had MSS. Three patients treated with immune combined with chemotherapy achieved significant tumour regression, and the progression-free survival was 28.8 months. In conclusion, the hidradenocarcinoma immune microenvironment tends to be noninflammatory. Evidence-based targets for targeted therapy are lacking. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy may be better for most advanced hidradenocarcinoma patients with a noninflammatory microenvironment.

Authors: Avoimen tieteen ja tutkimuksen koordinaatio
Published: May 2024

I referensarkitekturen för öppen vetenskap och forskning beskrivs målbilden för målområdet 2030. Referensarkitekturen utarbetas på initiativ av Den nationella styrgruppen för öppen vetenskap och forskning samt Undervisnings- och kulturministeriet. Referensarkitekturen möjliggör en kontrollerad utveckling av och reaktion på öppen vetenskap och forskning i en ständig förändring, och säkerställer stabiliteten i forskningsstrukturerna som en viktig möjliggörare av forskning.
Referensarkitekturen för öppen vetenskap och forskning baserar sig på de mål som presenteras i Deklaration för öppen vetenskap och forskning samt på de policyer som preciserar målen för deklarationen och på de mål och åtgärder som de fastställer. Vid behov kompletteras arkitekturen utifrån internationella trender inom öppen vetenskap, såsom Unescos rekommendation för öppen vetenskap.
Öppen vetenskap har ingen tydlig gräns till sluten vetenskap, utan öppen och sluten bildar ett kontinuum där till exempel tidigare slutna material med tiden kan bli öppna. Därför har man i referensarkitekturen kommit fram till att beskriva vetenskapens och forskningens strukturer på ett omfattande sätt, så öppna som möjligt och så begränsade som nödvändigt.
Referensarkitekturen för öppen vetenskap och forskning (AVOTT) har utarbetats av en tvåårig arbetsgrupp som inrättats av Den nationella styrgruppen för öppen vetenskap och forskning. Arbetsgruppens uppdrag bereddes under våren 2021 av en beredningsgrupp som utsågs av styrgruppen. Arbetsgruppens presidium bestod av Jukka Heikkilä, Professorsförbundet (1 ordf. 2022) och Susanna Nykyri, Tammerfors universitet (1 ordf. 2023). Arbetsgruppens sekreterare var Ilmari Jauhiainen, VSD och Marita Kari, VSD. AVOTT-referensarkitekturen kommenterades offentligt 17.4–2.6.2023.
Calculation of the initial peak loads on thin-walled circular tubes with internal and external staggered grooves under low-velocity impacts
Authors: Chen S. , Zhang M. , Zhao L. , Wei T.
Published: May 2024

Thin-walled cylindrical tube structures with particular defects exhibit more stable energy absorption characteristics and lower initial peak loads when subjected to axial impact. The present study systematically investigates the effect of the depth, width, and number of grooves in both internal and external groove structures on the energy absorption characteristics of thin-walled cylindrical tubes made of A6061 under axial impact loading. An expression for predicting the initial peak load is formulated, and its validity is confirmed through experimentation and extrapolation. The results indicate that augmenting the depth, width and quantity of grooves can lower the initial peak load, and the depth of grooves bears the most pronounced impact. The initial load hypothesis is congruent with both experiments and simulations, with a initial peak error of just -7.64%. To affirm the generality of the theoretical computations, eight distinct groups of elongated structural simulations were compared, and the initial peak load's error was scarcely above 10%. This study serves as a point of reference for designing energy-absorbing structures with internal and external grooves when subjected to low-velocity axial impact.
Siviilipalveluksen keskeyttäneiden sekä palveluksesta vapautuksen tai lykkäyksen saaneiden psykososiaalinen tausta ja syrjäytymisriski

Suomessa miehiä koskee yleinen asevelvollisuus, mutta siviilipalveluslain nojalla asevelvollinen voidaan vakaumuksensa vuoksi määrätä siviilipalvelukseen. Siviilipalvelukseen määrätään kutsunnoissa noin 1,5 % ikäluokasta, mutta lisäksi siviilipalvelukseen siirtyy henkilöitä, jotka ovat ensin aloittaneet varusmiespalveluksen. Varusmiespalveluksen keskeyttäneitä on tutkittu, mutta siviilipalveluksen keskeyttäneiden taustoista tai myöhemmästä elämästä ei ole väestötason tutkittua tietoa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää siviilipalveluksen keskeyttämistä ennustavia teki-jöitä ja nuorten aikuisten elämää siviilipalveluksen keskeyttämisen jälkeen.
Aineistona käytettiin Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen (THL) Kansallinen syntymäkohortti 1987 ja 1997 aineistoja sekä Siviilipalveluskeskuksen palvelustietoja vuosina 1987 ja 1997 syntyneiden osalta (n=28816 ja 29025). Tietoja vuonna 1997 syntyneiden lapsuuden perheestä ja koulumenestyksestä verrattiin siviilipalveluksen keskeyttämiseen, lykkäämiseen tai palveluksesta vapautumiseen. Vuonna 1987 syntyneiden tietoja siviilipalveluksen keskeyttämisestä, lykkäämisestä ja palveluksesta vapautumisesta verrattiin myöhempiin tietoihin nuorten miesten koulutustasosta, työllisyydestä ja sairastavuudesta 28 vuoden ikään mennessä.
Siviilipalveluksen keskeyttäneillä vanhempien ansiotulot olivat useammin alimmassa viidenneksessä kuin palveluksen suorittaneilla (30,5 % vs. 17,1 %). Palveluksen keskeyttäneet olivat myös kohdanneet useammin vanhemman eron tai kuoleman kuin palveluksen suorittaneet (41,7 % vs. 25,5 %). Siviilipalveluksen keskeyttäneille kertyi seuranta-aikana vähemmän työvuosia kuin palveluksen suorittaneille (4,0 vuotta vs. 5,4 vuotta) ja keskeyttäneet joutuivat turvautumaan peruspäivärahaan tai toimeentulotukeen muita useammin.
Nykyinen palvelujärjestelmä ei huomioi riittävästi nuorten taustatietoja ja elämäntilannetta nuorten palveluohjauksessa, tukemisessa ja syrjäytymisen ehkäisyssä.

Environmental issues are a major concern in society. This is caused by human behavior that adversely affects the environment. In relation to these issues, folklore or old literature has great potential to raise human awareness of the importance of maintaining the sustainability of nature. Folktales often contain values of local wisdom, human connection with nature, and moral learning that can be the foundation for ecological awareness. This study aims to describe the representation of ecocriticism in the Cilacap folklore collection book. This research is a qualitative research with content analysis approach. The data source of this research is the book Folklore of Central Java: Cilacap Regency. The sampling technique was done by purposive sampling. The result of this research is ecocriticism in the Cilacap folklore collection book can be known by Greg Garrad's ecocriticism theory (2004) in the form of pollutions, wilderness, disaster (apocalypse), dwelling, animals, and earth. This research contributes greatly to the understanding of ecocriticism and can enrich the repertoire of research on ecocritical studies in folklore which is currently still quite limited in Indonesia.

Local leadership often causes turmoil and conflict, especially between regional heads and their deputies. This was recorded on Instagram @indramayuterkini and @indramayuinfo as local online media which reported on the conflict between the Regent and Deputy Regent of Indramayu. This research aims to describe the alignment of the two local online media through the dimensions of vocabulary and grammar. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a critical discourse analysis approach according to the Roger Fowler model to analyze media partiality from aspects of vocabulary and grammar. The data analyzed were 3 news texts from Instagram Uploads @indramayuterkini and 3 news texts from @indramayuinfo during the period 14 February 2023–2 March 2023. The results of the research showed that the vocabulary and grammar used by local online media on Instagram @indramayuterkini tended to be cornering and limiting public view of the other party. On the other hand, the @indramayuterkini media is trying to build a positive narrative for the Regent of Indramayu. The opposite happened to the media @indramayuinfo which tended to use positive vocabulary and grammar toward the Deputy Regent of Indramayu. However, the other party is actually narrated through a cornering narrative. From the result of this research, it can be concluded that the local online media @indramayuterkini shows siding with the Regent of Indramayu, while @indramayuinfo shows siding with the Deputy Regent of Indramayu.

Today we can identify a variety of political and economic systems in the world. A free market economic system is more likely to work if it is based on a democratic political system. According to the Democracy Index 2021, Mexico went from being an imperfect democracy to a hybrid regime, with the risk of becoming an authoritarian regime. The transition from a political system of imperfect democracy to a hybrid regime represents a great risk for domestic and foreign private investment. There is a latent political risk for investors in this type of countries, which scares away foreign direct investment. This research presents an analysis of the behavior of foreign direct investment in Mexico from 2000 to 2021 by state and political party. The results from a point biserial correlation test prove the existence of a dependence between the attraction of foreign investment and the political party in government. Mexico attracted lower capital inflows since the presence of MORENA, actual political party that is in both, the federal and some state governments. Descriptive statistics show that in most of the matches there is a dependence and also a correlation, however it is prudent to study the direction of this relationship and the strength. The findings are based on an analysis of three years of government of the MORENA political party; therefore, a longer period could be considered for future research.

Schools, community, and other concerned bodies should work collaboratively to overcome problems related to large class sizes.
