Recent Advancements in Supercapacitor Technologies
Authors: G. Rajakumar
Published: January 2023

Supercapacitors (SCs) are a form of energy storage that fills the vacuum left by traditional capacitors and batteries. They have greater energy storage capacity than capacitors and can deliver electricity at higher rates than batteries. Both the capacitor and supercapacitor have two electrodes (plates) separated by a dielectric, however super capacitors have electrodes with a larger surface area and thinner dielectrics, allowing for higher energy densities. Super capacitors are extensively employed in portable electronic devices due to its high storage capacity. The design, properties, and uses of supercapacitors are briefly discussed in this article.

Guaranteed Return to Work for White-Collar and Blue-Collar Workers: Impact of Covid-19 in Western and Eastern Indonesia
Authors: Harumi Wise , Bachtiar Nasri , Kamarni Neng
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the guaranteed recall likelihood of temporarily unemployed white-collar and blue-collar workers in the labour markets affected by Covid-19 in Indonesia’s western and eastern regions. The August 2020 microdata from Sakernas were used using logistic regression analysis. Descriptive analysis shows a balance of male and female workforce composition. However, the unemployment rate affected by Covid-19 is higher in western Indonesia than in eastern Indonesia. In the western part of Indonesia, the temporarily unemployed are more distributed in urban areas, while in the eastern part of Indonesia, they are more dispersed in rural areas. By gender, more men than women are temporarily unemployed due to Covid-19 in western and eastern Indonesia. Regression statistics show that layoffs and temporary layoffs impact white-collar and blue-collar workers differently. It can be seen that white-collar workers in western Indonesia have the highest return-to-work protection factor, while blue-collar workers in eastern Indonesia have the lowest. Urban areas provide blue-collar workers in eastern Indonesia with higher guaranteed chances of returning to work. Male white-collar workers in the Western Indonesia region are the most likely to return to work compared to other categories. The age variable is not significant for white-collar workers but is significant for blue-collar workers. The only significant education variable is the assurance that blue-collar workers in eastern Indonesia will return to work. An additional skill variant in the form of a course will provide a higher assurance of being recalled to work in the eastern region of Indonesia.
Territoriality in American Criminal Law
Authors: Kaufman Emma
Published: January 2023

It is a bedrock principle of American criminal law that the authority to try and punish someone for a crime arises from the crime’s connection to a particular place. Thus, we assume that a person who commits a crime in some location— say, Philadelphia—can be arrested by Philadelphia police for conduct deemed criminal by the Pennsylvania legislature, prosecuted in a Philadelphia court, and punished in a Pennsylvania prison. The idea that criminal law is tied to geography in this way is called the territoriality principle. This idea is so familiar that it usually goes unstated.

This Article foregrounds and questions the territoriality principle. Drawing on a broad and eclectic set of sources, it argues that domestic criminal law is less territorial than conventional wisdom holds. Although the territoriality principle is central to criminal law ideology, territorialism is a norm in decline. In reality, over the past century, new doctrines and enforcement practices have unmoored criminal law from geographic boundaries. The result is a criminal legal system in which borders are negotiable and honored in the breach.

Scholars have largely overlooked the deterritorialization of domestic criminal law, but the decline of the territoriality principle has striking implications. It undermines constitutional doctrines and academic theories built on the classic account of criminal law. It upsets foundational conceptual distinctions that structure public law. And it raises normative questions about just how far criminal laws should reach. This Article grapples with those questions and argues that borders are an underenforced constraint on the police power.

„Strajk Kobiet”. Zmiany społeczno-kulturowe jako efekt protestów w Polsce
Authors: Piechota Grażyna
Published: January 2023

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the socio-political changes that occurred in Poland in 2016 as a result of the outbreak of the so-called black protests. The protests, which later became known as the All-Poland Women’s Strike, were activated several times in the following years, as a result of subsequent events related to the provisions regulating the right to abortion in Poland. The empirical findings contained in this text result from the analysis of statistical data (CBOS reports), dedicated to the research of political party electorates, which was carried out in 2015, 2017 and 2021. Moreover, the article presents own research conducted in the period from April to July 2021 using the method of analysis of the content published on social media by entities established after 2016. The results of the research confirm that the outbreak and the subsequent periodic activation of protests, supported by the activities of entities promoting the right to abortion, initiated two significant changes in Poland. The first is the clear polarization of political party electorates regarding the right to abortion, and the second is the intensification of the discourse on the very right to abortion, introducing new arguments regarding termination of pregnancy to the agenda (as well as other topics related to the situation of women and broadly understood sex education). Both of the indicated outcomes resulted in the phenomenon of abortion being visible in the public discourse, especially in social media. The following analysis is part of the trend of social research devoted to the importance of socio-political protests in democratic countries and the role of social media as an immanent tool used in the activity of new social movements.
Cattle Marketing System in Bena-Tsemay District of South Omo, South-Western Ethiopia
Authors: Adane Zelalem , Hidosa Denbela
Published: January 2023

The absence of information on cattle marketing systems is a major challenge for cattle producers and policymakers in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted in the Bena-Tsemay district with the aim of assessing the cattle marketing system. The household survey involved the interviewing of 150 households of eight Kebeles, which were purposefully selected from the three cattle production systems. The qualitative parameters, such as cattle market infrastructures, cattle transportation facilities, cattle market information, cattle marketing channels, cattle market actors, and the extent of extension service in the cattle marketing system, were analyzed using non-parametric methods, while the means of the quantitative parameters, such as cattle price and a number of cattle supplies, were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA of SPSS, version 20. The results revealed that the majority (73.2%) of the cattle keepers in three production systems sold their cattle; while very few (24.8%) did not. Approximately 58.33% of respondents said they bought and sold cattle at the local market using eyeball estimation, while only 12.2% used a bartering system. The majority of cattle keepers (69.30%) have access to cattle market information, while a few of them (30.7%) do not have access to cattle market information. The prices of selling and purchasing cattle were determined via peaceful negotiations between cattle sellers and traders (66.7%), while a small percentage (33.3%) was determined only by the cattle seller’s decision. The lack of cattle market and transportation facilities, the lack of cattle market price promotion centers, the lack of credit services, and the lack of capacity buildings were the major cattle marketing constraints. Thus, based on the results, the authors concluded that capacity-building and development efforts should be designed for cattle market transport facilities, legal cattle market promotion centers, credit services, and cattle feeding and health improvement strategies.
PERCEIVED QUALITY OF TRANSITIONAL CARE BETWEEN PUBLIC HOSPITAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH CARE CLINIC IN NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: MD YUSOF FARHANA
Published: January 2023

Quality of transitional care affects healthcare spending and service use. Poor transitional care is associated with adverse effects such as medication error and risk of unnecessary readmission. The objective of this study is to evaluate patients’ perception of quality of transitional care from a public tertiary hospital to a public health clinic in Negeri Sembilan.

 

A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 307 respondents from the public health clinic following discharge from the hospital from July to September 2018.Patient’s perception of quality of transitional care was measured using the Care Transitional Measure (CTM 15®) questionnaire. The response rate for this study was 90.6%. The mean CTM-15® score was 73.1 (±13.03) out of a scale of 1 to 100. The mean scores for the various domains were: Critical understanding was 73.3 (±14.33), Preferences important was 71.9 (±14.99), Management preparation was 74.0 (±14.53), and Care plan 73.3 (±14.75).  Multiple linear regression showed that age was a significant independent predictor for the CTM-15® scores where elderly patients had poorer scores than young adults (adjusted R2=0.104, p<0.001).

In conclusion, the perceived quality of transitional care between the public general hospital and health clinic was good but decreased with patient’s age. This could be due to complexity of the patient’s problems upon discharge.
Could Eco-Feminists or Female Environmentalists Boost the Fight Against Climate Change?
Authors: Abdulai Abdul-Mumin
Published: January 2023

Largely using secondary data, this article presents critical commentary as to whether or not eco-feminists or female environmentalists can enhance or boost the fight against climate change, which poses a daunting challenge to humanity at large. This commentary is necessitated by the failure of numerous efforts by the international community to reverse the current trend of global carbon emissions to the required level. Marking the twenty-seventh (27th) milestone of the UN Conference of Parties (COP27) in November 2022 in Egypt, the international community is still confronted by a lack of unanimity in tackling the increasing global carbon emissions. Factors that strongly underscore the relevance or power of eco-feminists or female environmentalists to boost the fight against climate change are: (i) underperforming patriarchy; (ii) dichotomous gender stratification; (iii) the unique roles and /or qualities of females; and (iv) female sentiments represent more than half of global sentiments based on the huge number of female populations in the world. In conclusion, eco-feminists or female environmentalists can immensely boost the fight against climate change when they are effectively mainstreamed into the climate change discourse.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the pavement found on reinforced earth sections along Outer Ring Road. The structural evaluation was determined from deflection measurements using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), while the functional evaluation was by visual condition survey, roughness, and rut depth measurements. Classified traffic counts and axle load surveys were undertaken. It was established that the design traffic would be exceeded in year 10 after opening the road. The surface condition survey indicated that the pavement surface for the entire road was generally in good condition. The roughness rating for the entire road was rated "Good", while ten sections of reinforced earth embankment were rated "Fair". The characteristic rut depths on the reinforced earth sections were higher than the lane characteristic rut depth for the entire road. Three sections of the reinforced earth showed low severity, while the rest had no rutting. The PCI for the pavement on reinforced earth sections were lower than pavement on other sections of the road due to a higher International Roughness Index (IRI). The FWD deflections were higher on reinforced earth sections. It was found that the mean pavement moduli for surfacing and base, crack relief and subbase layers at reinforced earth sections were lower than for the pavement in other sections hence requiring thicker overlays. The overall residual life of the road was 17 years, while for the reinforced earth sections was 15 years. Based on the findings, monitoring of the traffic and performance of pavement on the reinforced earth embankments is vital for interventions to prevent premature pavement failure. There is a necessity to develop a design manual and construction guidelines for reinforced earth structures based on the local conditions in Kenya.

Dalam kehidupan sehari-hari baik itu di kota maupun di pedesaan, terdapat banyak pemelihara ikan pada kolam baik yang berukuran besar, sedang juga yang berukuran kecil. Ikan gurame yang dipelihara pada kolam harus diperhatikan waktu pemberian pakannya sehingga ikan tersebut membutuhkan jadwal pemberian pakan yang teratur dan terus menerus. Namun karena kesibukan atau kegiatan lain. Salah satu faktor penting dalam membudidayakan ikan yang berkualitas adalah dalam hal pemberian pakan ikan yang tepat dilakukan pada waktu pagi dan sore hari. Hal ini akan membuat para pembudidaya ikan tidak dapat mengontrol penjadwalan dan mengalami kesulitan saat pemberian pakan ikan tepat waktu, karena pakan ikan harus sesuai dengan takaran dan banyaknya ikan yang ada di kolam tersebut. Penelitian ini mengusulkan untuk merancang alat untuk memberi pakan ikan secara otomatis menggunakan arduino untuk mengetahui berapa banyak pakan ikan yang harus diberikan dan waktu pemberian pakan. Dengan menggunakan metode eksperimen untuk menghitung kebutuhan data untuk pemberian pakan ikan, wadah pakan ikan yang digunakan, dan ketahanan alat yang digunakan. Hasil menunjukkan pemberian pakan ikan menjadi lebih terjadwal, volume pakan ikan presisi, volume pakan ikan dalam sebulan lebih hemat dikarenakan takarannya pas, perangkat ini mudah digunakan, dan pembatas arus dan tegangan terjadi jika terjadi fuse, perangkat dapat berjalan dengan baik pada outdoor dan indoor, perangkat menggunakan RTC dapat bekerja dengan baik dan menghidupkan servo secara otomatis, wadah penampung pakan ikan dapat menampung sebanyak 1,75 kg pakan ikan, dan LCD 16x2 dan I2C cukup dapat menampilkan tulisan dan angka dengan baik
Simple Algorithm for GCD of Polynomials
Authors: Pasquale Nardone , Giorgio Sonnino
Published: January 2023

Based on the Bezout approach we propose a simple algorithm to determine the gcd of two polynomials which doesn’t need division, like the Euclidean algorithm, or determinant calculations, like the Sylvester matrix algorithm. The algorithm needs only n steps for polynomials of degree n. Formal manipulations give the discriminant or the resultant for any degree without needing division nor determinant calculation.
Optimal Exchange Rates: A Stochastic Control Approach
Authors: Abutaleb Ahmed S. , Papaioannou Michael G.
Published: January 2023

We present novel formulas for the determination of the optimal values of the exchange rate and the external (foreign currency) debt. A stochastic differential equation is developed that relates the net worth of an economy to both its exchange rate and level of external debt. Using the martingale optimality principle, the optimal values for the exchange rate and the external debt are derived. Applied to Egypt, we find that its actual nominal exchange rate has stayed above its optimal value since the early 1990s, except for two years, and that the actual external debt-to-net worth ratio is lower than the optimal one for most of the time. Since 2013 the actual external debt-to-net worth ratio is close to the risky levels of the optimal values.
Tuhan Juga Mengasihi Kain: Menafsir Ulang Kejadian 4:13-16 dengan Lensa Psikoteologi Pengampunan Fraser Watts

In general, the remedies given to victims tend to neglect the psychological treatment of perpetrators. This study aims to make room for this handling, Genesis 4:13-16, which presents a dialogue between God and Cain, will be reinterpreted from the perspective of the Psycho-theology of Forgiveness according to Fraser Watts. In addition to avoiding the saturation of interpretation of this passage which is usually considered as the etiology of the dispute between the Israelites and the Kenites or the origin of family disputes, this perspective of forgiveness can also serve as a lens for constructing the wisest attitude when a person experiences human anger toward others. The result of the interpretation concludes that God is trying to restore Cain by giving forgiveness so that he can get out of his shame and can continue his life.
Dunia Ekonomi sebagai Panggung Memuliakan Allah: Diskursus Teologi John Calvin
Authors: Manunay Verliany Riasty Vindy
Published: January 2023

This article aims to conduct a discourse on the theological thought of John Calvin, a church reformer, regarding the unity of theology and economics. Calvin's post-reformation theological view understands the world as a theater to glorify God. Economic development, one of the essential parts of the world, could lay the foundation for church missions. This idea is essential in equipping the church to encourage economic growth and empower people. However, the reformed churches, especially those with the Calvinist wing, still view the world in a dichotomous way. The separation between the physical and spiritual worlds, the sacred and the profane, makes the church's theological doctrine about the economy and empowering people to tend to be misunderstood. This study uses a qualitative approach, which is based on the exploration of John Calvin's theological arguments regarding economic development. In the end, this research confirms that Calvin's theological thinking about economics as a theater to glorify God needs to become an operative theology that urges the church to care about economic development and empowering people.
Institutionalization of ‘Uptown': Contemporary Orchestral Music Practices in New York City 1960-1975
Authors: Abrams-Husso Lucy
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is to investigate how contemporary music composition aesthetics and performance practices in orchestral music came to be defined and institutionalized in New York City through the 1960s and 1970s. The geographic distinctions commonly referred to as Uptown and Downtown identify separate networks of American contemporary music that sprouted in New York City already in the 1950s, and developed across the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. I propose that the division of contemporary music practices and the ultimate institutionalization of Uptown is inextricably linked to changing orchestral practices in New York City in the late 1960s and 1970s.
 
Using the digital program archives from the New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall, I analysed contemporary programming in orchestral and large ensemble concerts from 1960 to 1975. Using this data, one observes that contemporary music programming decreased in this period, that the performance of contemporary music became less stylistically diverse, and that “contemporary music”, as a genre, came to be increasingly defined as European and modernist. I therefore conclude that changing orchestral practice was a major contributing factor in the division and institutionalization of contemporary musical practices in New York City.
Arkihuolesi kaikki heitä?
Authors: Mäkilä Sasha
Published: January 2023

The melody of the well-known Christmas song Joululaulu op. 20b n:o 5 “Arkihuolesi kaikki heitä” (1916) by Leevi Madetoja has rarely been questioned, even though there are two later autographic variants, one from Suvivesper (1924) and the other from the composer’s own arrangement of the song for mixed choir (1944). The editor of Leevi Madetoja’s Solo Songs and Duets (Fennica Gehrman, 2013), Kimmo Tammivaara, made the controversial decision to alter the melody in bar 14 of Joululaulu to make it correspond with the later versions. Which one of the variants is “right”? Is it even possible to find a definite answer to this question? From the music philological point of view the answer is clear. Looking at the later variants, there is no reason to doubt the original melody. The question of why Madetoja’s arrangement for mixed choir differs from the original is more complex, and the answer might lie in the composer’s alcoholism and life circumstances in the 1940s. The question of the composer’s ability to work during his final years raises philosophical and ethical issues, with necessary implications for the new critical editions of his works. The composer’s “final intentions” may not necessarily have been his best intentions.
