Punishment for Zina Muḥṣān Offenders in Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 in the Perspective of Fiqh al-Siyāsah
Authors: Fahmi Mutiara , Hasan Nurhayati Ali , Usman Iskandar , Abdullah Amiruddin , Hanafiyah Muhibuddin
Published: July 2022

This paper attempts to answer the issue of punishment for zina muḥṣān offenders in Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 from the perspective of fiqh al-siyāsah and the ways the law is implemented in closed spaces such as prisons per the Governor Regulation No. 5 of the 2018. This study is a legal study with a Islamic politic approach (fiqh al-siyāsah) with a literature study data collection method. The polemic of the implementation of the Qanun Jinayah (criminal regional bylaws) in Aceh not only receives attention from outside such as human rights and non-governmental organization activists, but also from among Islamic academics or Acehnese ulemas. One of the most discussed topics is related to ‘uqūbah (punishment) for fornicators that does not distinguish between muḥṣān (married) and ghayr muḥṣān (unmarried) fornicators as is the case in classical fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) literature. Qanun Jinayah does not at all separate between muḥṣān and ghayr muḥṣān fornicators, unlike the provisions of Islamic law which prescribe a hundred lashes for ghayr muḥṣān fornicators and stoning to death for muḥṣān fornicators. This indicates that those who commit zina in Aceh, whether married or unmarried, are punished with the same severity, which is 100 (one hundred) lashes. Further, the issue of changing the place of the flogging execution from public to prison in accordance with Aceh Governor Regulation No. 5 of 2018 concerning the implementation of the jināyah (criminal) procedural law is also worth to study from the point of view of fiqh al-siyāsah (Islamic politics) and legislation.
Men and Women in The Distribution of Inheritance in Mandar, West Sulawesi, Indonesia
Authors: Rahman Ulfiani , Idham Idham , Dalif M. , Makmur Makmur , Sewang Anwar
Published: July 2022

In general, there are two patterns of inheritance distribution in Indonesia, based on Islamic and customary inheritance laws. This research specifically focused on the distribution of inheritance for men and women in Mandar by scoping the research area in Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi Province. This research is an empirical legal study using the sociology of law approach. Data collection techniques were obtained through literature study and interviews. The results showed that the Mandar people who lived in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi Province, considered that whether son or daughter earned the same sharing, there was no difference. The view that puts the same position between the two has influenced the legal treatment of inheritance. The distribution of inheritance in Mandar, especially for sons and daughters, was found in two patterns, namely, using Islamic inheritance patterns and customary inheritance patterns. This customary inheritance pattern is practiced in the form that they are no longer able to define, whether it is in the form of Islamic law or customary law, dividing the inheritance to their children to be managed by themselves, and some have shared the inheritance with their children, but the heir still manages the assets, and the house of the parents belongs to the youngest child, without distinguishing between the youngest son or the youngest daughter.

Published: July 2022

The legal construction in the Criminal Code (KUHP) and Islamic law the ban of extramarital sexual encounters, yet in Mount Kemukus, a different reality prevails. The formulation of the problems in this research are; first, what is the pattern of pilgrims' actions on Mount Kemukus? and second, what is the ideal of legal culture in Mount Kemukus? This study is from the perspective of legal culture and Islamic law. This paper examines the relationship between legal culture and Islamic law. This research is a field study employing a multidisciplinary socio-legal methodology. Observation and interviews were used to collect primary data, whilst a review of the literature was used to collect secondary data. This article combines social theory, legal theory, and Islamic legal theory to form an eclectic theory. This study found two general patterns, santri pilgrims and non-santri pilgrims, which represent the motivations, sources of belief, and patterns of pilgrims' actions; and (2) the ideal of legal culture in Mount Kemukus is to perform tawaṣul to Prince Samudro without performing non-marital sex rituals, and the law functions as a tool of social engineering for the benefit of society. The findings of this study suggest that in conditions of compulsion and despair, individuals seek justification for their actions even though they are against the social order. This research is useful for legal policies that regulate rituals and pilgrimages.
Merantau in The Ethnic Tradition of Minangkabau: Local Custom Without Sharia Basis?
Authors: Siregar Fatahuddin Aziz , Yulika Febri , Nofialdi Nofialdi , Harahap Ikhwanuddin , Ridwan Benny , Syahputra Iswandi
Published: July 2022

Customary practice in Minangkabau is based on sharia, and sharia is based on the Qur’an (as provisioned in the proverb Adat Bersandi Syarak, Syarak Bersandi Kitabullah-ABS/SBK). As a customary practice, is merantau in the Minangkabau tradition based on sharia? This article explains the relationship between custom and sharia in Minangkabau’s merantautradition. This study is a qualitative research with in-depth interview data collection techniques and literature study. In-depth interviews were conducted with four distinct individuals representing customary figures and religious figures of West Sumatra. The study found that merantau in the Minangkabau tradition emerged out of the matrilineal customary system that has been in place long before Islam was introduced to the Minangkabau community. As a custom, several aspects of merantau in the Minang culture contradict Islamic sharia. This indicates that the relationship between custom and sharia is not hierarchical as stipulated in the ABS/SBK model. The study results may have implications on new relations between customary law, sharia, culture, and religion.
Covenants and Courtrooms, Imputation and Imitation: Righteousness and Justification in Paul and the Faithfulness of God
Authors: STARLING DAVID I.
Published: July 2022

This article offers a response to the discussion of righteousness and justification in N. T. Wright's Paul and the Faithfulness of God. Though finding much in Wright's treatment to appreciate, it argues for a greater emphasis on the active, ethical dimensions of what Paul has in mind by "righteousness" (divine and human) and for the retention of the notion of the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers, not as an explicit Pauline assertion but as a legitimate inference from Pauline premises. Understood in this manner, the doctrine of imputation (far from cutting the nerve between justification and transformation) opens up a way to draw straighter, clearer lines of commensurability and correspondence between the righteousness of God (expressed in his actions as creator, covenant maker, law giver, covenant keeper and judge), the righteousness of Christ (imputed to us in our justification and given as an example to imitate), and the righteousness of life to which we are called in the gospel.
The Character of God's Faithfulness: A Response to N. T. Wright
Authors: GAVENTA BEVERLY ROBERTS
Published: July 2022

N. T. Wright's two-volume work, Paul and the Faithfulness of God, attempts to consolidate and expand Wright's understanding of the Apostle Paul in light of Wright's extensive reconstruction of Judaism and Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah. In addition to providing a brief discussion of Wright's general argument, this review responds to three types of concerns: (1) "key texts in Romans" that are critical to Wright's reading, specifically Rom 2:17–3:3 and the role of Israel; Rom 4, Abraham, and the covenant; and Rom 9–11, God, and Israel; (2) "revealing silences" on underrepresented issues, such as grace, the epistemological shift that accompanies the gospel, and the shape of Paul's ecclesiology in relation to practical, "on the ground" issues; and (3) Wright's treatment of "apocalyptic and anti-Judaism," which he roughly equates. Finally, this review reflects on the length, tenor, and rhetoric of the book.
Written for Our Instruction: The Law as Wisdom in Paul's Ethics
Authors: ROSNER BRIAN S.
Published: July 2022

The fact that Paul's letters present both negative critique of the law and positive appropriation of the law is a longstanding puzzle. If believers in Christ are not under the law, how can Paul use the law to regulate Christian conduct? Paul's use of the law for moral teaching is not evidence of inconsistency, nor does it indicate that his abrogation of the law is only partial. Instead, the key to understanding Paul's use of the law for ethics is hermeneutical. When it comes to Christian conduct, rather than reading the law as law, Paul reads it as wisdom for living. Paving the way for Paul's wisdom hermeneutic with respect to the law is the wisdom character of the law itself, the wisdom character of Paul's moral teaching in general, and Paul's own claim that he reads the law in the capacity of wisdom. The case studies of idolatry and murder supply examples of Paul reading the law as wisdom.
2 Corinthians 3:7–18 As a Non-Pauline Interpolation
Authors: WALKER WILLIAM O.
Published: July 2022

This article argues that 2 Cor 3:7–18 was neither composed by Paul nor inserted by him at its present location in 2 Corinthians—that the passage is, in fact, a later, non-Pauline interpolation. More specifically, it proposes (a) that the relation of vv. 7–18 to their context, both immediate and larger, points to the secondary insertion of the passage between 2 Cor 3:6 and 2 Cor 4:1, (b) that distinctive vocabulary in the verses suggests composition by someone other than Paul, and (c) that apparent verbal and/or conceptual links between vv. 7–18 and their immediate context, however, suggest composition of the verses (by someone other than Paul) precisely for the purpose of insertion at their present location in 2 Corinthians. Finally, the article offers a possible scenario explaining why the interpolation appears where it does in 2 Corinthians.
ὑστερέω and πίστις Χριστοῦ in Romans 3:23: A Response to Steven Enderlein
Authors: PORTER STANLEY E. , CIRAFESI WALLY V.
Published: July 2022

This article is a response to Steven Enderlein on the translation of Rom 3:23 and its implications for the πίστις Χριστοῦ debate. While affirming Enderlein's suggestion that the verb ὑστερέω is better understood as “lack” rather than “fall short,” we argue against his conclusions (1) that this translation leads to a subjective genitive reading of πίστις Χριστοῦ in Rom 3:22, 26; and (2) that the verb alludes to the early Jewish theology of Adam in Paul's day and thus should be read in view of the Adam/Christ contrast in Rom 5. We suggest that rendering ὑστερέω as “lack” in fact has no direct linguistic bearing on Paul's use of πίστις Χριστοῦ; however, this rendering of ὑστερέω does influence interpretation of Rom 3:23–24 because of its relation to other words that share its semantic domain.
The Faithfulness of the Second Adam in Romans 3:21–26: A Response to Porter and Cirafesi
Authors: ENDERLEIN STEVEN E.
Published: July 2022

This response to Stanley Porter and Wally Cirafesi's essay in this issue elaborates on a previously identified connection between Rom 3:23 and Rom 5:12–21 and its significance for interpreting πίστις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. It expands on the presence of Adamic allusions in Rom 1–7, in order to suggest that Adam's obedience reasonably disambiguates πίστις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. Then, it argues that πίστις has the meaning potential of “faithfulness,” which further supports a possible association between Rom 3:21–26 and Rom 5:12–21. Finally, it concludes that Rom 3–4 is more coherent, both rhetorically and theologically, when πίστις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ is read as a subjective reference to Jesus' own faithfulness.
The Cry of Victory: A Cruciform Reading of Psalm 44:22 in Romans 8:36
Authors: STEWART TYLER A.
Published: July 2022

While Rom 8 has attracted an enormous amount of scholarly attention, Paul's citation of Ps 44:22 in Rom 8:36 has all but escaped the gaze of New Testament scholars. In this essay, a critical survey of prevailing interpretations of Rom 8:36 will suggest that Ps 44:22 must be placed in the context of Paul's argument about participation in Christ in Rom 5–8. Because Rom 8:31–39 displays the features of a peroratio, the passage is explored as such. One of the primary functions of a peroratio was to recapitulate the previous argument. Tracing the argument of Rom 5–8 it is argued here that Paul employs a “logic of participation” that is fundamentally cruciform. Additionally, it is this participation logic that shapes Rom 8:31–39 and the jarring psalm citation. Contrary to previous interpretations, then, this essay argues that Paul's citation of Ps 44 serves a crucial role in recapitulating the logic of participation that pervades Rom 5–8.
Paul's Polemic in Philippians 3 as Jewish-Subgroup Vilification of Local Non-Jewish Cultic and Philosophical Alternatives
Authors: NANOS MARK D.
Published: July 2022

Current readings of Philippians, even those emphasizing the Greco-Roman social and political contexts suggested by the explicit concerns Paul expresses throughout most of the letter, still posit opposition to missionaries (usually “Christians”) promoting Judaism to interpret the polemic in ch. 3. There are a number of salient Greco-Roman targets for Paul's polemic in ch. 3, however, that are not considered. This is in part a product of approaching Paul from the assumption that he writes from outside Judaism and is understood to do so by his addressees. But if one hypothesizes that Paul practiced and promoted Judaism and was known to do so, then one must ask new questions of the textual clues to the contextual concerns. Productive options explored in this endeavor include local Greco-Roman “idolatrous” cults and/or philosophical groups and their various behavioral norms, especially Cynics, all of which also suggest cultural constraints associated with the imperial setting of everyone involved. The implications for interpreting Philippians as well as Paul and his communities are many.
The Bodily Absence of Christ in Paul
Authors: ORR PETER
Published: July 2022

What is the relationship between the presence and absence of Christ in Paul's letters? For Paul, these two aspects of his relationship with Christ can be expressed simultaneously. That is, the Christ in whom Paul dwells (for example, Phil 1:1) is the Christ whom Paul longs to depart in order to be with (Phil 1:23). This essay argues that for Paul the absence of Christ is a function of his ongoing humanity and possession of a body that is both localizable and distinct and distinguishable from believers. The essay proceeds by (1) overviewing the seeming tension between the presence and absence of Christ in Paul's letters, (2) examining more carefully the motif of the absence of Christ, (3) examining two texts where Paul portrays the body of the exalted Christ as both human and discrete from believers. Finally, (4) I examine two more texts where Paul specifically expresses the absence of Christ in bodily terms.

The study was conducted on crossbred cattle maintained at Directorate Livestock Farms (DLF) of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) in Ludhiana, Punjab, India to assess the influences of meteorological variables on milk yield traits of crossbred cattle. Data on milk yield traits and the meteorological variables were collected for a period from 1991–2018. General Linear Model was applied to assess the influences of meteorological variables and other fixed factors on daily milk yield. Simple linear regression models were fitted to analyze the effect of meteorological variables on other milk yield traits. The results showed that the effects of Tem, THI and ATHI on DMY were found to be significant (p<0.01). The effects of Tem, THI and ATHI on TLMY, 305_DMY, LL and DPY were negative and non-significant, while negative and significant (p<0.01) on PY. The average 305_DMY decreased by 8.68, 5.72 and 5.59 kg per a unit increase in Tem, THI, and ATHI values, respectively. The average LL also showed a decline by 0.11, 0.11, and 0.13 days for per unit rise Tem, THI, and ATI correspondingly. From April-October, climate variables increased beyond the thermal thresholds (21oC for Tem, 75% for Hum, 68 units for THI, 316 W/m2 for SR and 71 units for ATHI) for daily milk production in crossbred dairy cattle. The animals experienced heat stress for seven months (April-October) leads to reduction of milk production and may be controlled by heat stress management at the farm.

Statistical analysis of hydrological event like rainfall was carried out for 23 years (1993-2015) for prediction of other hydrological events such as occurrence of effective monsoon (OEM), critical dry spell (CDS) and withdrawal of monsoon (WM). All events predicted by FLOOD software developed by IIT Kharagpur, West Bengal, India for different probability of exceedence (PE) levels from 10-90%. Their performances were indicated by the Chi-square test, mean absolute relative error (MARE), model efficiency (ME), root mean square error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (CD). At 50% PE level, for OEM and WM, Gumbel (Extreme value minimum) and Pareto distributions were best fitted with 168th and 269th Julian days, representing June 17 and September 26, respectively. Average duration between OEM and WM was found to be 102 days. There were two critical dry spells (CDS) dominated at study area named to be CDS1 and CDS2. These two dry spells were occurred on 213th and 235th Julian days with 12 days duration each with starting date from 1st August and 24th August, respectively. Pareto and Beta distribution function were best fitted for the above CDSs on the aforesaid Julian Days (i.e. on 213th and 235th Julian days), while Gumbel (Extreme value minimum) and Beta distribution function were found to be the best for deciding the occurrences of CDS of 12 days duration at 50% PE level. The study revealed that the short duration rice would face less drought stress than the long duration rice. Hence, short duration rice variety of 100-110 days duration was selected.

Published: July 2022

The experiment was conducted during July–December, 2019 in the Agricultural Research Farm Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. One hundred and twenty-two F3 rice populations from the cross made between IC277332 (susceptible parent)×IC277275 (moderately resistant parent) were evaluated against sheath blight disease under field conditions. The area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) values categorized rice population into four groups viz., moderately resistant (24), moderately susceptible (38), susceptible (40), and highly susceptible (20). A moderate resistance level to the disease was identified during the study in 24 lines (19.6%) with a mean Percentage Disease Index (PDI) of 12.22%−36.6%. Furthermore, 38 individuals showed moderate susceptibility with AUDPC values (1012−1446 day-1). The maximum PDI and AUDPC value were 76.11 and 2325.56, and the minimum PDI and AUDPC values were 22.78 and 622.22, respectively. The principal component (PCA) biplot analysis showed 71.62% and 12.05% variation, respectively. Unweighted Pair Group Method of Arithmetic Means (UPGMA) cluster analysis grouped the 122 individuals into two major clusters, A and B and sub-clusters. These findings indicated that no rice line resistant to sheath blight had been identified. However, few population lines exhibited moderate resistance, which can be utilized as donor lines to generate sheath blight-resistant rice cultivars. These findings will provide a solid basis for our future breeding and screening activities at the institution.

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is an important crop grown extensively in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. Despite the multifaceted importance of this crop, its production could not be stabilized in the Uttar Pradesh as well as in the country. There are several biotic and abiotic constraints hampering the production of mungbean crop. Among the diseases, anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is one of the most important fungal diseases of mungbean in India. In recent past, it has become a major threat for mungbean cultivation particularly in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh during the Kharif crop season. Field experiments were conducted during July to September in 2019 and 2020 to find out a suitable management option for anthracnose in mungbean. Nine different fungicides and 190 mungbean germplasm were assessed against anthracnose. Twice sprays of Carbendazim at 1st appearance of symptoms at15 days interval gave the maximum reduction in incidence and severity of anthracnose i.e. 51.12% and 64.56%, respectively along with significant enhancement (53.39%) in grain yield during both the crop seasons. The second best effective fungicide for reduction of incidence and severity was combination of Carbendazim + Mancozeb followed by Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole. Out of 190 mungbean germplasm, evaluated for resistance against anthracnose disease during two crop seasons, four genotypes viz., Pairy Mung, PMG-991, MGG-295 and Kopargaon were found to be moderately resistant against anthracnose disease. None of the germplasm were found to be resistant.

The current experiments were carried out in alpha lattice design at the Seed Breeding Farm, Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh state, India, during 2019−20 and 2020−21 crop seasons, using 236 RILs population. The aim of current experiment is to assessment of genetic diversity and identification of promising recombinant inbred lines for irrigated and restricted irrigated conditions through PCA and cluster analysis. The drought selection indices viz. Relative drought index, yield stability index, drought resistance index, mean productivity, stress tolerance index and yield index were performed from two year grain yield pooled data. The principal component analysis and cluster analysis were performed through drought selection indices. Drought selection indices viz. relative drought index, yield stability index, yield index were confirm strong positively associated with grain yield under restricted irrigated conditions while mean productivity, stress tolerance index and yield index were strong positively associated with grain yield under irrigated conditions. Moreover, high cluster mean, for grain yield under restricted irrigated condition with associated selection indices was confirmed by 77 inbred lines from cluster I. similarly 128 superior inbred lines were found for irrigated condition. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster I and cluster III therefore the inbred line occupy by cluster I and cluster III were considered as most diverse lines and could be used in farther breeding program to achieve more recombination for drought tolerance.

SOFTWARE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, Ukraine, Hrytsiuk Yu. I.
Published: July 2022

The Software quality management system has been developed. The system allows you to determine the state of software quality at each hierarchical level of the management system, taking into account the cost of ensuring the required quality. The system also allows the IT company manager to set the potential costs for the transition of software quality indicators from one state to another. It was found out that software quality is a multifaceted concept that can be adequately expressed by some hierarchical structure of characteristics and attributes, which is called the model of software product quality. To assess the quality of the software, a set of criteria and aggregate indicators were used, which maximally characterise it in terms of functionality and usage options. It is established that the software quality model is the main attribute of the complex system of its assessment. The quality model determines which characteristics of the software product must be taken into account when transiting the control system from one state to another. The level of software quality that meets the stated and indirect needs of various stakeholders and is relevant to them is directly reflected in the quality model of the software product in the form of its properties. The software quality model classifies product properties into characteristics and sub-characteristics. A method for selecting stressful variants of software quality state according to input criteria or aggregate indicators of its current quality has been developed. The method allows to determine the current state of software quality at each hierarchical level according to the corresponding aggregate indicator, taking into account its development cost. A method for selecting the optimal version of the software quality management system from the set of permissible has been developed. The method takes into account the structure of criteria and aggregated indicators of current software quality at each hierarchical level of the management system. It is established that the task of choosing the optimal version of the software quality management system belongs to the tasks of multicriteria optimization. The task takes into account the following criteria: portability of the product and its ease of maintenance, product safety and compatibility, ease of use of the product and reliability of its work, as well as the functional suitability of the product and its efficiency of use. An example of implementation of the software quality management system in both quantitative and cost ratio is given. The example allows us to understand the essence of the method of choosing the optimal variant for the management system, as well as the features of the method of selection of stressful variants of the system state according to two criteria or aggregate indicators.
MATHEMATICAL SPATIAL MODELS OF DETERMINATION OF TEMPERATURE FIELD FROM LOCALLY CONCENTRATED THERMAL HEATING
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, Ukraine, Havrysh V. I.
Published: July 2022

Linear and nonlinear mathematical models for determining the temperature field, and later the analysis of temperature regimes in isotropic spatial inhomogeneous media exposed to internal and external thermal loads have been developed. To do this, the thermal conductivity for such structures is described as a whole using symmetric unit functions, which allows us to consider boundary thermal conductivity problems with one linear and nonlinear differential equation of thermal conductivity with discontinuous coefficients and linear and nonlinear boundary conditions on boundary surfaces. In the case of a nonlinear boundary value problem, the Kirchhoff transform is applied, which linearizes the initial nonlinear equation of thermal conductivity and nonlinear boundary conditions and results in a second-order linear differential equation with partial derivatives and singular coefficients with respect to the Kirchhoff function with linear conditions. To solve the obtained linear boundary value problem, the method of integral Fourier transform was used, as a result of which an analytical solution was obtained, which determines the Kirchhoff linearizing function. As an example, the linear and cubic dependences of the thermal conductivity of structural materials on the structure, which are often used in many practical problems, are chosen. As a result, analytical relations in the form of quadratic and biquadratic equations are obtained to determine the temperature distribution in the thermosensitive layer with foreign inclusion at external local heating. Numerical analysis of temperature behavior as a function of spatial coordinates for given values of geometric and thermophysical parameters is performed. The influence of foreign inclusion on the temperature distribution was studied if the material of the medium was selected ceramics VK94-I, and the inclusion – silver, aluminum and silicon. To determine the numerical values of temperature in these structures, as well as the analysis of heat transfer processes in the middle of these structures due to internal and external heat loads, developed software that uses a geometric representation of temperature distribution depending on spatial coordinates. The obtained numerical values of temperature testify to the correspondence of the developed mathematical models of the analysis of heat exchange processes in spatial inhomogeneous media with internal and external heating to the real physical process. Software also allows you to analyze this type of environment, which are exposed to internal and external heat loads, in terms of their heat resistance. As a result, it becomes possible to increase it and protect it from overheating, which can lead to the destruction of not only individual elements but also the entire structure.

The development of basic components of the neural network protection system, data transmission coding based on an integrated approach, which includes an improved method of neural network encryption (decryption) and the method of adaptive barker-like coding (decoding) of data, which focuses on modern element base. The principles of specialization and adaptation of hardware and software to the structure of algorithms for neuro-like encryption (decryption) of data, neural network architecture, and barker-like code are used to develop the system. The architecture of the system is proposed, which takes into account the variable composition of the equipment and modularity. The method of neural network encryption (decryption) of data has been improved. The time of neural network encryption and decryption of data depends on the size of the tables of macroparticle products. The size of the tables of pre-calculated macroparticle products is based on the provision of encryption and decryption of data in real-time. A method of adaptive barker-like encoding (decoding) has been developed, which, due to the signal-to-noise ratio, provides high noise immunity and reduces data transmission time. The hardware of the system, which was created using the developed basic components of neural network protection and barker-like data encoding, is described. When creating hardware, ready-made components and modules of industrial production are used as much as possible, and the availability of appropriate means of software code development is taken into account. Means of neural network cryptographic encryption (decryption) of data of the mobile part of the system are implemented using a microcomputer-based on SoC. Not the most powerful microcomputer of the NanoPi Duo type from FriendlyElec has been especially used to test the means of neural network cryptographic encryption (decryption) of data. Using the created system, it is determined that the performance of neural network cryptographic encryption (decryption) of data blocks based on a microcomputer is carried out in close to real-time. The time of formation and training of the neural network is about 200 ms, and the implementation of encryption and decryption procedures is about 35 ms and 30 ms, respectively, and does not depend significantly on the chosen configuration of the neural network.

The computation of the modular exponentiation for big numbers is widely used to find the discrete logarithm, in number-theoretic transforms and in cryptographic algorithms. To efficient compute the modular exponent, new methods, algorithms and means of their implementation are being developed. There are three directions of computational method of modular exponentiation: general modular exponentiation, and computation of the modular exponentiation with a fixed exponent or with a fixed base. Special functions have been developed to perform modular exponentiation in mathematical and cryptographic software libraries. The paper compares the freely available functions of computing the modular exponentiation from the Crypto ++, OpenSSL, Pari / GP and MPIR libraries and developed three functions based on the right-to-left binary shift algorithm. A separate type of numeric data from the MPIR library is used to work with big numbers in the developed functions. The developed functions implement a binary iterative algorithm in one main stream, in two streams and one stream using precomputation. The comparison is based on the average time of execution of the modular exponentiation for pseudo-random data with 1K and 2K bits, which corresponds to the size of about 300 and 600 decimal signs. The runtime results summarized in the table show that the modular exponentiation is computed the fastest by a function from the OpenSSL library, which is almost twice smaller than the function from the Crypto ++ library and three times smaller than the MPIR function in universal computer systems. The implementation of the function of computing the modular exponentiation by mathematical and cryptographic software libraries uses a more optimal modulus multiplication algorithm, the so-called Montgomery multiplication. The developed three functions use multiplication by modulo operations for factors smaller than the module value. The function using precomputation of the remainders for the fixed basis and the module is analyzed separately. After all, in the testing process, the time of precomputation and determination of the periodicity of residues for this function is not taken into account. Further parallelization of the computation of parts of a multi-bit exponent and the use of the Montgomery multiplication algorithm will allow efficient use of the developed function with precomputation for the calculation of the discrete logarithm.

The constant development of digital technology has led to a sharp increase in the number and volume of media files, including digital images, which make up a significant part of computer network traffic, which reduces the speed of their transmission. The research conducted in this work is based on the provisions and methods of digital image processing, the laws of visual perception, the basics of probability theory and mathematical modeling. The results of theoretical research were verified by simulation. The paper proposes a technology that, through the analysis of the color space of the image and taking into account the laws of visual perception, makes it possible to significantly reduce the size of the image file. This technology is used to solve a number of problems, in particular, the visualization of large files and increase the informativeness of images with complex semantic content. It is established that the reduction of the image file size is achieved through the optimization of the palette and leads to a slight deterioration in the visual quality of image perception. To reduce the visibility of error and create a visual sense of the presence of more different colors in the image than is actually the case, it is proposed to use diffuse pseudo-mixing of colors, which is to model some colors with others. Along with the task of reducing the volume of graphic files based on the optimization of the palette, a similar methodology was developed to increase the informativeness of images through the use of pseudo-colors. By modifying the function of converting the coordinates of color space into color components, a modified approach to the formation of pseudo-color images is proposed, which increases the informativeness of halftone digital images in their visual analysis.
Service-Dominant Logic: A Model of Service Satisfaction and Its Antecedents
Authors: Nguyen Phuong
Published: July 2022

Along with the advancement of information technology and service innovation, service-dominated logic has become one of the most important concepts for firms to acquire a competitive advantage. According to service-dominated logic, all service innovation should be conceptualized based on the application of competencies (e.g., knowledge and skills), and firms should leverage these competencies to promote values and benefits for each exchange or transaction. This study integrates relevant theories and constructs to develop a comprehensive model of service innovation focusing on a service-dominated logic perspective. Data from 135 Vietnamese business owners or management executives were collected and analyzed, and research hypotheses were assessed by employing partial linear square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicated the interrelationship between service-dominated orientation, dynamic service innovation capability, service knowledge creation, service innovation, and service satisfaction. The results could be beneficial for academicians to further validate the research model and could also be very useful for professionals to design and implement their service innovation strategies.

Published: July 2022

Traditionally, classical finance theories have argued that investors are rational and not influenced by human factors when making financial decisions. Recent developments in the field of finance, such as the anomalies that occurred and occasional financial crises took place, raised skepticism among researchers changing their approach towards traditional theories, as these theories failed to explain or predict unexpected developments in the markets, thus not supporting the unrealistic assumption of rational man (homo economicus). The research work for this new field of finance belongs to the recent decades. More specifically, there are quite a few studies in Albania due to the presence of an underdeveloped financial market. In the multitude of different factors, which influence the financial behavior of the investor, most of the research in the field of financial behavior is dedicated to the study of psychological biases. The topic of this study focuses on the impact of the personality type of individual investors on their decisions to invest in financial assets offered in Albania. The study is composed in the same logic line as that of the purpose and the research question raised. Quantitative strategy is used to answer the research question and draw conclusions. Descriptive and regression analysis was used through R-programme to identify the significance of the type of personality in Albanian individual investor behavior. We use the questionnaire as an instrument to collect data. Big Five Personality Model is chosen as the measurement scale. Only coherent data that remained after the reliability test (Cronbach Alpha), will be further used in regression statistical analysis to examine their impact on investor behavior. The analysis shows that the type of personality affects individual investment decisions in financial assets. More specifically Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism affect the amount of money invested in the asset. 'Openness' and 'Neuroticism' affect the level of certainty investors perceive for the investment made in financial assets.

Inventory management is an activity carried out by a company that is needed in making decisions, so that material needs for the needs of company activities both production and sales can be fulfilled optimally, with the smallest possible risk. Over-inventory is a waste because it causes storage and maintenance loads that are too high during storage in the warehouse. This research was conducted at Nitra Jaya which aims to determine the proper inventory management of the management system for Nitra Jaya using the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) method. This study uses quantitative data and qualitative data obtained by conducting interviews with the company and observing the object under study. The results showed that Nitra Jaya inventory management was still not efficient. By using the conventionally applied method in 2019, the total inventory cost incurred was IDR 27,150,000. If Nitra Jaya uses the EOQ (Economic Order Quantity) method in 2019, the total inventory cost incurred is IDR 14.247.886, and the company can save IDR 12.902.114 (47.5%) The implication of this research is that it is expected to be able to provide advice to the owner of the Nitra Jaya to review the total cost of inventory more efficiently through the optimal quantity and frequency of purchasing raw materials, the company should apply the EOQ method in carrying out inventory management.
