Published: July 2024

Elections are events that play an important role in the economic aspects of a country. Elections create uncertainty and potentially affect investor sentiment, causing fluctuations in Indonesian stock prices. A few months before the election, stock prices in Indonesia showed a significant increase in the Indonesia Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). This occurs due to an increase in purchasing power for campaign needs and an increase in the government budget. The ARCH/GARCH model is a relevant analysis instrument in looking at market volatility. This study forecasts the close value of IHSG in the election year 2024 and analyzes the effect of elections on stock price volatility in Indonesia. This research resulted in the best model is GARCH (1,1) with RMSE 604.74, MAE 484.27, and MAPE 13.37. The forecasting results from November 23, 2023 - February 29, 2023 tend to increase, the average increase is 0.097%, the biggest increase from the end of November to the beginning of the first week of December 2023 by 0.229%. The relationship between IHSG value and political month is positive. The regression equation shows the IHSG value in months containing political events is 743,53 greater than in non-political months.

Published: July 2024

Along with the election of Dadang Supriatna-Sahrul Gunawan as the elected Regent and Vice Regent of Bandung, both prioritized Bandung Regency as a religious and prosperous area as stated in their vision. One of the manifestations of this vision is the Incentive program. Ngaji teachers in the Bandung Regency area. The Ngaji Teacher Incentive Program is in principle one of the flagship programs of Regent Dadang Supriatna, during his campaign for the candidacy for Regent of Bandung Regency, where when he was elected, the implementation of the policy was then fully submitted to the Bandung Regency Regional Government through the basis of Perbup No. 51 of 2021 concerning Guidelines for Providing Ngaji Teacher Incentives and specifically, the implementor is the Education Office. The Quranic Teacher Incentive Program is targeted at religious educators in Bandung Regency with the aim of improving the welfare of Quranic teachers as religious educators by providing monthly incentives in the form of non-cash transfer funds as well as funds for BPJS Health and BPJS Employment. 17,000 Koranic teachers in Bandung Regency in the process then became the target beneficiaries of the incentive money assistance. There are 23,000 Quranic teachers in Bandung district, and the government has budgeted Rp 109 billion for Quranic teacher incentive assistance. The results of the study show that the implementing committee officers involved in implementing the Koranic Teacher Incentive Program policy have not implemented the policy optimally. The lack of optimal policy implementation is motivated by the lack of selectivity of the sub-district and village parties in implementing the policy, resulting in pros and cons and social jealousy. In addition, there are also differences regarding the nominal incentive money given according to members of the Dinas and village officials. In this Quranic teacher incentive program, it can also be concluded that economic conditions are the most important influence in the implementation of the Quranic Teacher Incentive Program. Because if there is no financial resource support, the financial resources, the Quranic Teacher Incentive Program will not be implemented.

Authors: Susila Muh Endriyo , Yonar Bagaskara
Published: July 2024

The Juvenile Criminal Justice System is established to uphold justice for children who engage in criminal proceedings, especially those who perpetrate criminal offense. The System sets up various measures in order to protect the rights of these children. This article aims at evaluating the operation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System in Indonesia with special concern on the fulfilment of the rights of children who are in conflict with the law. The type of research is that of normative legal research which relies on secondary data in the form of primary and secondary legal material. This normative legal research employs statutory approach. It is found that the rights of children who are in conflict with the law is primary protected through the employment of diversion, the initial step for settling the criminal case outside the judicial system. The operation of the Juvenile Criminal Justice System comes across some obstacles in field, including with regard to the employment of diversion. Therefore, improvement in employing diversion seems to be necessary to achieve better quality of children rights protection.
Risk Assessment of Invasive Species in the United States
Authors:   , Brown Joseph
Published: July 2024

Invasive invertebrate species is a global issue that negatively impacts biodiversity, economics, and human health. Freshwater habitats are particularly at-risk to invasive invertebrates, and the aquarium trade has been found to be an important pathway for “hitchhiker” species introductions into several freshwater systems. A horizon scan is necessary to identify potential invasive invertebrates in the United States, and a human dimensions study of aquarium trade stakeholders is an integral part of this assessment. The horizon scan consisted of a literature review of global invasive invertebrates globally, and development of an expert-based prioritized list of invasive invertebrates by geographic region. In the human dimension study, a survey with science-based and attitude-based questions investigated attitudes and behaviors of aquarists and non-aquarists regarding the potential of the aquarium trade as a pathway for invertebrate introductions. Analysis focused on response differences between aquarium hobbyists and the public, and I hypothesized that aquarists will be better educated on the topic of potential introductions than non-aquarists. I also expected aquarists to exhibit more positive attitudes and behaviors towards the environment than non-aquarists. The horizon scan list building process produced >7,600 potential invasive species, and the horizon scan climate match and filtering process reduced to a list of 587 taxa for subsequent scoring. My survey did not support either hypothesis, and instead, determined that experience level better explained differences among aquarists.

Authors: Paul Kwame Butakor
Published: July 2024

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities in Ghana have embraced the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools for online teaching, learning, and assessment. However, despite the increasing integration of these tools in education, there is a need to explore their effectiveness in enhancing students learning and educational outcomes. The purpose of this study was thus to explores the effectiveness of integrating ICT tools for online teaching, learning, and assessment in one of the Universities in Ghana. To achieve the purpose of this study, the quantitative descriptive survey design was adopted where a convenient sample of 301 pre-service teachers were selected through and surveyed. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 25 and the results showed that majority of pre-service teachers perceived ICT tools as positive for online teaching, learning and assessment. However, challenges like technical skills, unreliable internet, limited access, training needs, academic integrity, support, and student engagement were highlighted as detrimental to online teaching, learning and assessment. The results further revealed interesting age differences in pre-service teachers’ viewpoints about effectiveness of ICT tools with older students perceiving ICT tools as more effective for online teaching and learning but less so for online assessment. It was thus recommended that there should be increased educator support and training on ICT integration in teaching and learning, promoting online student collaboration, soliciting ongoing student feedback, and targeted training on effective use of technology for learning for mature learners.

Authors: Sus Yulia S. , Bilousova Kateryna V.
Published: July 2024

The aim. The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis of violations of children's rights in the context of armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine in order to determine ways to improve the regulatory and legal mechanisms for their protection.
Materials and methods. To achieve the goal of the work, general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge are used. The formal-legal method was applied to the analysis of legal acts regulating the protection of children's rights. Thanks to the application of this method, the formulation of legal norms, their legal technique, the conceptual and categorical apparatus was studied in order to clarify the content and essence of regulation, and the norms of international and national law were determined to identify gaps, collisions, and contradictions. The method of statistical analysis made it possible to determine the dynamics of the number of cases of abduction of children or their adoption.
Results. During the research, it was established that russian aggression against Ukraine is accompanied by systematic violations of international law aimed at protecting the rights of the child, in particular the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Geneva Conventions, and The Hague Conventions. According to the data of international monitoring missions, in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine numerous facts of violation of children's rights to life, protection from torture, personal integrity, dignity, safety, as well as rights to protection from sexual violence have been recorded. In addition, children are deprived of safe conditions for life, healthy development and realization of the right to education. Such systemic violations require an urgent response by the international community in the form of strengthening preventive measures to prevent further violations of childhood rights.
Conclusions. As a result of the full-scale invasion and occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine, the number of cases of violation of children's rights has increased significantly. In particular, this concerns violations of the rights to life, personal integrity, protection of dignity, the right to protection from sexual violence and a number of others. Based on this, the problem of protecting children's rights is of great importance and determines the need to improve the existing mechanisms of legal protection at the national and international levels.

Materials and methods. Theoretical overview of modern scientific works on the topic of research, which is freely available in institutional repositories and catalogs, scientific information and search systems, international databases of scientific information.
Results. The main areas of neurophysiological research using EEG are considered in the work. A review of scientific works over the past five years has shown that a significant place among research is traditionally occupied by the issue of identifying and evaluating pathological conditions: epilepsy, apnea, paroxysmal and vegetative states, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The practice of combining EEG with other methods of recording biological signals, such as ECG, EMG, etc., to increase the specificity of the obtained signs, is deepening. Multi-complex methods are becoming widespread. There is also a high interest in the study of psychophysiological processes depending on age, gender, profession and in human-machine interaction. There has been an increased interest in assessing the condition of persons who have been affected by traumatic events. A special interest of scientists was found in the application of EEG for research that can be attributed to the military sphere: determining the attention index of UAV operators, assessing the quality of aiming during the training of shooters, etc. The latest direction is the use of EEG for the assessment of neurological disorders and neurorehabilitation in the case of COVID-19.
Conclusions. In general, the analysis of the latest works in the field of the application of EEG for the assessment of neurophysiological characteristics showed that there is still interest in the traditional directions of research into pathological conditions, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease. In the research of psychophysiological processes, the leading role continues to be occupied by works dedicated to identifying the features of cognitive processes and mnestic functions under the influence of various stimuli, during training or performance of specific professional duties.

Published: July 2024

A social media platform such as Instagram plays an important role in online marketing, enabling businesses to reach a wide audience. Academics and practitioners have long acknowledged the importance of proper marketing communication in creating long-term bonds between existing and new customers. However, the importance of promotional techniques used in the beauty industry on the Instagram platform as a tool to increase customer engagement remains under-explored, as addressed in this study. The aim of the research was to identify the promotional techniques that most increased customer engagement rates on the social media platform Instagram. The research used a case study method for a small service company operating in the beauty industry. In the analytical process, the data source was statistics describing the effects of the beauty salon’s marketing activities on the social media platform Instagram. The results of the study showed that the key element of marketing communication is sharing posts presenting the result of the work, i.e. the results of beauty treatments presented in the photos of clients, and organising competition posts that engage both existing observers and arouse the interest of new users. Sponsored posts, on the other hand, are particularly important for reaching new potential customers.
Methods of Manipulation Used in Advertising
Authors: Michalak Jacek , Stypiński Mateusz
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to see how selected methods of manipulation used in advertising affect consumer behaviour. The study was conducted using a diagnostic survey using an original questionnaire posted on social media. The participants included 102 selected individuals. According to the information gathered, the respondents are aware that the use of manipulation is widespread in advertising. The most common methods of achieving this include fragmenting the advertising message and leveraging the authority or popularity of individuals featured in advertisements. Fragmentation has a particularly strong effect. Others of similar importance include making the message appear scientific, idealising it, and influencing human emotions. Manipulation in advertisements often leads to situations when consumers decide to purchase products that they do not, in fact, need. Manipulative tactics, such as creating artificial needs, using psychological tricks, or applying social pressure, can significantly influence consumer decision-making, often resulting in the purchase of products that provide no genuine benefit or satisfaction.

Published: July 2024

Research presented in this paper analyzes the accuracy and applicability of analytical expressions to describe the electric field of a high-voltage glass insulator. The metal cap and the metal pin of the glass insulator are represented by coaxial cylindrical electrodes. The insulating materials between them are modeled as coaxial hollow cylinders. Analytical expressions for the electric field in these insulating materials are derived. Using these expressions, the spatial distribution of the electric field in the insulating materials was determined. Suitable software, based on the finite element method (FEM), was used to determine the spatial distribution of the electric field in dielectrics in the same space. Both analyses were performed under quasi-static conditions, and the results of the analytical expressions were compared with the FEM results. Discrepancies between the results of the two mentioned analyses were observed. The reasons for the observed discrepancies and the applicability of the presented analytical expressions are commented on.

The study employed a descriptive-qualitative research design. The participants were the 24 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 45 Palembang who were enrolled for the 2023–2024 academic year. The researcher employed questionnaires and writing tests as instruments to gather data, which was subsequently analyzed. The results revealed that 221 errors total—65 (29,4%) in the Omission category, 41 (18,6%) in the Addition category, 16 (7,2%) in the Misorder category, and 99 (44,8%) in the Misformation category—were committed by the students. When composing recall texts, students most frequently committed mistakes in the Misformation category. The questionnaire's results showed that students were not only interested in producing recount texts, but also, perhaps because of their limited vocabulary, they were not quite aware of how to apply grammatical structures in their writing.

The parameters of molecular hydrogen adsorption on a tetraoxa[8]circulene monolayer were studied using the density functional theory with dispersion interaction corrections (semi-empirical and analytical). The calculations were carried out using two different approaches to the system wave function representation: atomic-like orbital basis set and plane wave basis. Utilizing a less computationally expensive pseudoatomic basis, it is possible to obtain results for molecular hydrogen adsorption consistent with values calculated with plane waves if the atomic-like basis is optimized and basis set superposition error is corrected for both hydrogen binding energy and geometrical characteristics. Otherwise, the H2 binding energy will be overestimated by 4–6 times (sometimes even more, by 20); and the hydrogen-monolayer distance will be underestimated by 10-20%. The obtained optimized parameters of the pseudoatomic basis set can be used for further study of the modified forms of the tetraoxa[8]circulene monolayer. Moreover, our calculations showed that the hydrogen binding to a pristine tetraoxa[8]circulene monolayer is predominantly van der Waals with an energy of 60–90 meV, which is several times less than the desired range of 200–600 meV. To achieve such values, it will be necessary to modify the surface of the monolayer, creating more active sorption cites, for example, by decorating it with metals or applying structural defects.

Published: July 2024

The effect of bending of reflection planes in crystals on the propagation of an anomalous wave in X-ray diffraction has been studied by numerical simulation methods. The bending sign of the reflection planes was found to affect radically the propagation of the X-ray wave field in the crystal. The Bormann effect was shown to be suppressed at certain bending parameters.

Published: July 2024

The results of modification of WC–Co samples by a pulsed beam of nitrogen ions (200–300 keV, 120 ns) with an energy density of 7–8 J/cm2 are presented. It is shown that the change in the structure occurs in the near-surface layer with a thickness of 20–30 µm, which significantly exceeds the range of ions in the target (≈0.5 µm) and the depth of propagation of the thermal front during the pulse (≈1 µm). The analysis of various mechanisms of the long-range effect is carried out: the formation of a shock wave, the generation of primary radiation defects, etc. It is shown that the long-range effect is associated with the charge exchange of ions and the formation of fast atoms. The simulation of the charge exchange of ions in the gaseous layer of desorbed molecules is performed. It was found that the probability of ion charge exchange in the processes N+ + N2 → N0 and N+ + O2 → N0 significantly exceeds 100%, which indicates that the effect of irradiation by atoms was not taken into account while calculating. In contrast to ions, when the target is irradiated with atoms, the efficiency of the formation of radiation defects is much higher.
Features of electron reflection by layer of carbon nanotubes
Authors: Novikov N. V. , Chechenin N. G. , Shirokova A. A.
Published: July 2024

The anisotropic properties of a layer of carbon nanotubes upon electron reflection have been studied. Only a small part of the incident electrons is found to reflect from a target with a surface layer of oriented carbon nanotubes. Reflection occurs only from a layer of horizontally oriented nanotubes at an angle of incidence greater than 80° and vertically oriented nanotubes at an angle of incidence less than 10°. The effect is explained by peculiarities of the formation of an electron flux in the surface layers of the target.
Tungsten sputtering coefficients by light impurities of plasma

Published: July 2024

Calculations of the tungsten sputtering coefficients (the divertor material in the ITER tokamak) by He, Be, N, O – impurity atoms in the plasma – were carried out at collision energy of 0.010–100 keV using the Monte–Carlo method. To calculate the trajectory of the incident particle, pair potentials obtained within the framework of density functional theory were used. These potentials were corrected for the parameters of the potential well obtained from spectroscopic measurements. The target consisted of tungsten randomly oriented crystals the size of one lattice constant. Next, the trajectories of the recoil particles were calculated using many-particle potentials calculated using density functional theory. Thermal vibrations of target atoms were taken into account. The vibration amplitude was taken to be 0.05 Å, which corresponded to room temperature. The strong dependence of the results on the shape of the surface potential barrier is shown and the results are presented for two limiting cases of the surface state: a flat surface, when a planar surface potential barrier is realized, and a surface consisting of cones, when a spherical potential barrier occurs. In the experiment, the surface has some roughness, which depends on the experimental conditions. It is shown that the experimental results lie between the limiting cases we considered. Information was obtained on the average energy of sputtered atoms and angular distributions, necessary for calculating the entry of impurities into the tokamak plasma.

Published: July 2024

The results of applying the statistics of a discrete multiple scattering process to analytically describe the dependence of the charge state of light ions in matter on particle velocity are presented. It is shown that the use of a technique based on taking into account the dependence of the charge state of the beam ions on the ratio of the ion velocity to the minimum velocity of the electrons of the substance makes it possible to calculate the stopping power of the substance for lithium, beryllium, boron and carbon ions of medium and low energies, corresponding to the experimental results.

The questions of liver resection volume in patients with colorectal liver metastases are controversial and solved by specialists differently, taking into account the characteristics of the tumor lesion, the surgeon’s own experience and the technical capabilities of the clinic. On the basis of the abdominal department of Saint-Petersburg clinical scientific and practical center for specialized types of medical care (oncological) of N.P. Napalkov, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the long-term outcomes of 106 patients with colorectal liver metastases after extended (n=39) and minor (n=67) liver resections. The median of time-to-progression (TTP) was 8.0 months (95% CI 5.4–10.5) after extended and 11.2 months (95% CI 6.0-16.4) after minor liver resections. There was a tendency towards an increase in median overall survival (OS) for minor resections to 48.9 months (95% CI 31.5–66.4) compared with 33.4 months (95% CI 26.2–40.5) after extended resections. The rate of repeat resections in case of disease recurrence was higher in the minor resection group. When comparing the R0 and R1 resection groups, it was noted that the median OS was not significantly different (49.1 vs 40.8 months, 95% CI 25.7–72.5) despite an increase in TTP in patients with negative resection margins (10.8 vs 7.4 months, 95% CI 25.7–72.5). Thus, according to the analysis of long-term outcomes, no advantages were identified in performing minor interventions compared to extended liver resections, despite the obviously more unfavorable prognosis for massive metastatic liver disease.
