Authors: Walid Siagian Abdhy , Syammakh Daffa Alghazali Muhammad , Falih Alify Rozin , Alfian Kusnaldi Muhammad
Published: July 2023

Pemerintah Indonesia melakukan sebuah terobosan regulasi ekonomi yang ditujukan sebagai upaya penanganan terhadap dampak pandemi Covid-19 terkhususnya di bidang perbankan. Sektor ini menjadi krusial mengingat faktor historis pada masa krisis moneter yang pada saat itu sektor perbankan menjadi prioritas pemerintah dalam mengatasi krisis yang terjadi. Fase pasca krisis yang telah dialami Indonesia seakan menjadi alarm pengingat bagi pemerintah untuk melakukan formulasi mitigasi preventif agar kemungkinan buruk yang akan terjadi di masa yang akan datang bisa diatasi secara efektif dan efisien. Negara layaknya Amerika Serikat telah megembangkan sebuah skema yang bernama Deposite protection Scheme (DPS) sebagai upaya penyelamatan sektor perbankan yang diprakarsai oleh lembaga independen yang bertugas untuk menjamin simpanan nasabah di sektor perbankan. Indonesia mengejawantahkan skema ini sebagai lanjutan dari skema Blanket Guarantee Scheme. Pada saat krisis moneter, Indonesia mendirikan sebuah lembaga independen yang disebut sebagai Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan (LPS). Kewenangan LPS yang merupakan lembaga independen yang akan menjadi stakeholder skema mitigasi DPS sebagai upaya perlindungan nasabah dan penyelamatan sektor perbankan dalam menjamin harkat dan martabat masyarakat Indonesia. LPS memainkan peran penting dalam menjaga stabilitas perekonomian dan sistem perbankan yang rentan terhadap risiko sistemik. Perlindungan deposan yang memadai dan tepat merupakan suatu bentuk justifikasi atas pentingnya peran tersebut.
Ambiguitas Pengaturan Harta Bersama dalam Dimensi Kepailitan Ditinjau Berdasarkan Asas Keadilan
Authors: Dwiyanti Arini , Adlina Syafira
Published: July 2023

Perkara kepailitan umumnya terjadi pada perusahaan, namun dapat terjadi juga pada individu. Kepailitan terhadap individu bergantung pada kedudukannya dalam perusahaan, untuk perusahaan bukan berbadan hukum, Debitur pailit bertanggung jawab sampai harta pribadi terlebih jika ia terikat dalam perkawinan, maka keberadaan harta bersamanya akan diperhitungkan dalam boedel pailit. Artikel ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif serta pendekatan undang-undang. Permasalahan utama terdapat ambiguitas peristilahan harta bersama dan keselarasan antar pasal dalam UU Kepailitan dan PKPU. Frasa ‘persatuan harta’ dalam UU Kepailitan dan PKPU dapat menimbulkan multitafsir sebab KUH Perdata memaknai persatuan harta yaitu meleburnya seluruh harta suami/istri sehingga terjadinya pailit pada salah satu pihak, mempailitkan pula pasangannya dan seluruh harta masuk dalam boedel pailit. Sedangkan UU Perkawinan menegaskan harta bawaan tetap di bawah penguasaan masing-masing atau tidak masuk dalam boedel pailit. Selain itu, terdapat kontradiksi di beberapa pasal yang dapat merugikan pihak tertentu yang berkepentingan sehingga asas keadilan tidak terpenuhi. Maka, perlu penegasan ketentuan yang dijadikan acuan dalam UU Kepailitan dan PKPU.

A Pan-Hispanic approach to the usage of Anglicisms in the thematic area of sports
Authors: Núñez Nogueroles Eugenia Esperanza
Published: July 2023

The influence that English exerts on different languages has been widely examined. Particularly, many studies that have brought the classification of Anglicisms according to thematic fields into focus have shown that, in relation to various languages and varieties, sports is the area in which Anglicisms seem to appear most frequently (Seidel 2010, Andersen 2011). Considering Spanish, when introducing English names of sports, the two main choices are either to adopt/adapt these foreign names or to calque them into the recipient language. This paper aims to clarify which of these two options has been the most successful one and whether diatopic variation plays a part in this respect. To fulfil this goal, a series of equivalent pairs and their variants are looked up in CORPES XXI, and the statistics provided by this corpus in relation to geographical distribution are analysed. Results show that diatopic variation affects disparity in the frequency of use of the different forms of English ball sports names in Spanish.
Functional discourses of contemporary multilingualism in urban texts: A case study of three capital cities: Warsaw, Berlin, and Luxembourg
Authors: Opiłowski Roman , Makowska Magdalena
Published: July 2023

Multilingualism plays an increasingly significant role in the urban landscapes of contemporary cities. A city does not speak just one language; instead, it speaks the languages of its users, i.e. residents, visitors, companies, organisations etc. By producing urban texts, they simultaneously contribute to the communicative community that is also open to the needs and expectations of individuals who remain there only temporarily. From this perspective, a city gradually becomes a linguistic melting pot, in which the linguistic needs of a society are manifested but which also acknowledges and generates these needs. These processes result in the growing scientific interest in different aspects of textualisation of the contemporary urban space. In this paper, we attempt to describe functional discourses in multilingual texts appearing in contemporary public space. The researched corpus comprises urban texts from three European capital cities: Warsaw, Berlin, and Luxembourg. The applied research method is based on the functional discourses and supplemented with the basic criteria of multimodal analysis carried out depending on the language or languages used in the urban text, the genre and multimodal form of the urban text, its content and function, and communicative practice. As a result of combining and interpreting the available typologies of text types, we propose in the theoretical section 10 types of functional discourses. In the analytical part, we relate these discourse types to multilingual urban texts. Thus, we identify and analyse orientation, regulatory, commemorative, commercial, educational, artistic, protest, political, identity and alerting discourses.
LVRF: A Latent Variable Based Approach for Exploring Geographic Datasets
Authors:   School of Computing and Information Sciences, Florida Internation University, USA, Deng Liangdong , Mahara Arpan , Rishe Naphtali , Adjouadi Malek ,   Department Electrical and Computer Engineering, Florida Internation University, USA
Published: July 2023

Geographic datasets are usually accompanied by spatial non-stationarity – a phenomenon that the relationship between features varies across space. Naturally, nonstationarity can be interpreted as the underlying rule that decides how data are generated and alters over space. Therefore, traditional machine learning algorithms are not suitable for handling non-stationary geographic datasets, as they only render a single global model. To solve this problem, researchers often adopt the multiple-local-model approach, which uses different models to account for different sub-regions of space. This approach has been proven efficient but not optimal, as it is inherently difficult to decide the size of subregions. Additionally, the fact that local models are only trained on a subset of data also limits their potential. This paper proposes an entirely different strategy that interprets nonstationarity as a lack of data and addresses it by introducing latent variables to the original dataset. Backpropagation is then used to find the best values for these latent variables. Experiments show that this method is at least as efficient as multiple-local-model-based approaches and has even greater potential.

Deep Learning is becoming a very popular tool for generating and reconstructing images. Research has shown that deep learning algorithms can perform cutting-edge restoration tasks for various types of images. The performance of these algorithms can be achieved by training Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) with data from a large sample size. The processing of high-resolution satellite imagery becomes difficult when there are only a few images in a dataset. An approach based on the intrinsic properties of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) is presented in this paper for the detection and removal of clouds from remote sensing images without any prior training. Our results demonstrated that the algorithm we used performed well when compared to trained algorithms.
A Decision Support System for Internal Migration Policy-Making
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Organizational Sciences, Serbia, Delibašić Boris , Radovanović Sandro , Vukanović Svetlana ,   World Bank Group
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes a decision support system for internal migration policy in the Republic of Serbia, which uses machine learning and knowledge extraction methods to analyze data and identify key features for policy decision-making. Internal migration is an issue that creates uneven development and sustainability challenges in countries. More specifically, internal migrations are putting a big pressure on cities and urban areas, while leaving vast less-urbanized areas depopulated and unsustainable to future generations. This paper includes two machine learning models with an accuracy of 70% for predicting internal migration intensity in local selfgovernments (LSGs), as well as the proposed decision-support tool that achieves an accuracy of 66%. The proposed system maintains desirable properties of decision support systems such as correctness, completeness, consistency, comprehensibility, and convenience and allows the what-if analysis to evaluate appropriate policies for each LSG. The identified key features can be used to influence migration levels in LSGs and promote balanced development in Serbia.

Published: July 2023

We propose a software solution for representing diverse sets of key performance indicators in higher education. Our solution addresses both the heterogeneity and the common structure of key performance indicators. To tackle the issue of heterogeneity, we employ metamodeling and propose a meta-model that is expressive and generic enough to represent any set of key performance indicators in higher education. The proposed meta-model is more abstract than any specific key performance indicators set, and the sets are considered as models, which are instances of the proposed metamodel. We address the heterogeneity in calculating the key performance indicators' values by representing them with mathematical formulas and utilizing an expression language that allows for their dynamic evaluation. We verified the solution by representing typical key performance indicator sets and developing a software application prototype that enables the creation, monitoring, and further development of key performance indicator sets. The verification confirms the wide applicability of our proposed solution.

Authors: Samal Ashis , Kumar Samal Ashis
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of disability on access to financial services in Odisha. Data for the study were obtained from the Odisha Economic Survey 2021-22. We used an instrumental variable (IV) regression approach to examine the effect of disability on the use of formal financial institutions and mobile money. We find that the likelihood of having access to finances and using any of the financial institutions, or having at least a product/service with a bank reduces for people with disability. Further, our results show that while people with disability are less likely to use commercial banks (6.3%), rural banks (4.8%) and at least one financial service (6.3%), they are 53.7% more likely to use mobile money. Collaborative actions are needed to raise awareness on mobile money and other Fintech solutions, as well as accessibility functions that can support the inclusion of persons with disabilities into the financial system.

Introduction: Over the past decades, enhancing learners’ speaking ability has been a major challenge for teachers and educators of English as a foreign language (EFL). Therefore, the current study aimed to see if reading and listening can boost students’ speaking ability in the process of skills transfer. Methodology: To explore the impact of reading and listening skills transfer on enhancing speaking accuracy, fluency, and complexity, two groups of EFL learners underwent a four-month intervention in which the effects of reading and listening skills on speaking ability were evaluated. One group was exposed to text, and the other group received audio input. Both groups gave summaries after working on different textual and audio tasks. After four months of treatment, both classes took a posttest. Results: The results showed that reading and listening, as a medium of input, boosted the speaking ability of learners. However, the class receiving listening input enjoyed a higher mean value in accuracy, fluency, and complexity and outperformed the class exposed to reading input. Conclusion: This study highlights the role of skills transfer theory while providing evidence for educators and practitioners to incorporate integrated skills practice when designing EFL courses.
