Published: December 2024

Image denoising using supervised learning effectively removes image noise by learning from available data. However, it may lack efficiency when faced with insufficient data, such as in the case of single images or blind noise. This challenge has led to the adoption of unsupervised learning methods, which utilize the inherent properties of noise to extract and enhance image features. This research aims to leverage the benefits of the downsampling effect for noise removal, even though downsampling may impact image features. Therefore, deep learning must be used to restore image details lost during downsampling. This research proposes the Noisy Low-Resolution to Noisy Super-Resolution (NLR2NSR) framework, which leverages image downsampling to simultaneously reduce image and noise features. A super-resolution network is then used to restore the image features. Experimental results show that under conditions where noise features are less prominent than image features, the NLR2NSR can effectively remove noise and preserve image features using only noisy data for training. However, the NLR2NSR has limitations in handling high-level noise.

The gas production in high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) projects in the Nam Con Son basin is entering a declining production phase, the production duration almost reaching the final phase of the designed field life. Therefore, the need to build a development plan for maintaining and supplementing gas production is the most important in the current phase. Evaluation of gas field conditions, drilling infill wells to expand existing prospects is considered a feasible solution both technically and economically. However, the physical characteristics of the production reservoirs have changed after a long production time, including a decrease in pore pressure at the production reservoirs, posing a significant technical challenge during the drilling operations. The infill wells are required to penetrate through the shale formations interbedded with sand formations. In there, the cap rock shale layer remains at or close to virgin pressure and the sand reservoir with pore and fracture pressures has largely decreased due to production activities. There is no mud-weight window that exists any more at the transition between cap rock and reservoirs which leads to drilling problems such as loss circulation, gas kicks and especially, the well could not reach the total desired depth or production targets which impact to overall development project. This article evaluates the applicability of a combination of technologies, including utilizing special lost circulation materials to seal the fractures due to changes in reservoir properties and the application of managed pressure drilling methodologies while drilling through infill wells in HTHP conditions. The goal is to minimize the risks of well problems and provide the management of uncertainties during the drilling which improves project efficiency.

Published: December 2024

Farsça bir kelime olan perakende kelimesi ürünlerin tek tek ve yavaş yavaş satılması olarak Türkçe’ye çevrilmiştir. Bir diğer ifadeyle bu durum satış olabilmesi için, sektörün ekonomik gelişmelerden doğrudan etkilenmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Ekonomik faaliyetler açısından önemli bir gösterge olan perakende sektörü ve ilgili endeksleri ülkemizde yaşanan döviz hareketlerinden önemli oranda etkilenmektedir. Ülkemizde ticaretin önemli bir bölümü dolar ve euro kullanımı ile gerçekleşmektedir. Ülkemizde yaşanmakta olan döviz kurundaki hareketlilik, özellikle ithal edilen malların fiyatlarına ve ham maddenin maliyetine etki etmekte ve tüketicilerin yönelimlerini de değiştirmektedir. Sadece döviz kurundaki hareketlilik sektöre etki etmemekle birlikte, diğer faktörlerde (işsizlik oranı, enflasyon, büyüme oranları, kişi başına düşen milli gelir) reel ve perakende sektörlerinde ciroya etki yapmaktadır. Perakende sektörünün ekonomi açısından önemi ve döviz kurlarında yaşanan değişimlerin etkisinin incelenmesi ise genel olarak tüketim ve tüketici davranışları açısından da ele alınması gereken bir konudur. Bu çalışmada, son dönemlerde döviz kurunda ciddi hareketlilikler yaşanması üzerine diğer etkenler göz ardı edilerek, perakende sektörüne (mağazacılık) döviz kurundaki (dolar kuru) yükseliş/azalışın etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada perakende sektörü, dolar kurundaki dalgalanmalar bir perakende şirketi açısından mercek altına alınmış, 2016-2018 dönemini kapsayan 3 yıla ait dolar kurundaki dalgalanmaların satışa etkisi incelenmiştir. Bunun sonucu olarak dışa bağımlılığın ekonomimiz üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda dolar kurunun firmanın cirosu ile ilişkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Aralarında pozitif yönlü kuvvetli bir ilişki mevcuttur. Dolar kuru ile ciro birlikte azalmakta veya artmaktadır.

Games on graphs are a well studied subset of combinatorial games. When analyzing a game, heuristics and strategies for winning are often at the forefront of the discussion. One such combinatorial graph game that can be considered is Grim. In Grim there are winning strategies for a variety of well-known families of graphs, many of which favor the first player. Hoping to develop a fairer Grim, we look at Grim played under a slightly different rule set and develop winning strategies for this modified version of the game. Throughout, we compare our new results to those previously known and discuss whether our altered Grim is a fairer game than the original.

Published: December 2024

Ibnu Abbas Foundation intends to build a four-story school building for junior high school in Talun District, Cirebon Regency. This study aims to design a school building structure that is comfortable, safe, and meets earthquake-resistant standards using ETABS software. The design process includes structural planning, analysis of building response to static and dynamic loads such as dead load, live load, wind load, and earthquake load, as well as detailed design of structural elements such as floors, columns, beams, and foundations. This research method uses a calculation approach that refers to the applicable Indonesian National Standards (SNI), namely SNI 2847: 2019 for structural planning, SNI 1727: 2020 for load planning, and SNI 1726: 2019 for earthquake resistant planning. The planning process uses the Response Spectrum SRPMK method and is assisted by ETABS software for structural analysis and design. The planning results show that the four-story school building structure can be built safely using a pile foundation with a depth of 4.4 meters and diameters of 50 and 60 cm. The foundation is able to withstand the load of the planned structure. The structural elements of the school building are planned using reinforced concrete with a material quality of K-300 for the frame and K-350 for the columns. The main reinforcement used is BJTS 420A, and the transverse reinforcement is BJTP 280.
The Impact of Palm Oil Plantations on Per Capita Income in Kalimantan and Its Effect on Unemployment

Published: December 2024

Currently, Indonesia's oil palm plantation sector is in a critical phase. While the sector has contributed significantly to national income and created jobs, it is increasingly urged to address a number of social and environmental issues. This study aims to explain the complex relationship between oil palm plantation expansion, per capita income, and unemployment dynamics in the region. Using quantitative methodology and multiple linear regression analysis, this study examines secondary data sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the Ministry of Agriculture covering the period 2001-2022. The findings show that the expansion of oil palm plantations significantly increases per capita income through direct and indirect job creation. However, its impact on unemployment is not uniform and depends on the prevailing economic structure and adaptability of the local labor market. While some regions experienced a decline in unemployment due to increased job availability, other regions experienced an increase in structural unemployment caused by the adoption of modern technology that reduced the need for manual labor. These findings underscore the need for regional policies tailored to the local economic context, labor market, and local employment conditions

Published: December 2024

In the era of Industry 4.0, the adoption of digital technology has become a key factor in enhancing the competitiveness and performance of organizations across various industrial sectors. Organizations that do not adopt digital technology risk falling behind in terms of operational efficiency, productivity, and customer satisfaction. In Indonesia, the implementation of digital technology in the manufacturing, retail, and service sectors still faces several challenges, including infrastructure limitations and insufficient human resource readiness. This study aims to analyze the impact of digital technology implementation on operational performance in three sectors: manufacturing, retail, and services in the Pangkalpinang region. Using a qualitative case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 15 operational managers and IT staff from three companies in these sectors that have implemented digital transformation in the past five years. The findings indicate that the adoption of digital transformation has improved operational efficiency by up to 30%, employee productivity by 18%, and customer satisfaction by 22% in the retail and service sectors. However, in the manufacturing sector, technological infrastructure limitations hindered optimal results. Digital transformation has a positive impact on operational performance and customer satisfaction, especially in the retail and service sectors. However, additional investment in technological infrastructure is needed in the manufacturing sector to achieve maximum results.
Evaluation of Abortion Measures in Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 on The Right to Life of the Fetus From a Human Rights Perspective
Authors: Desiree Florencia , Kartika I Gusti Ayu Putri , Winata I Gede Sastra , Noak Piers Andreas
Published: December 2024

Indonesia has legalized abortion under certain conditions, such as pregnancy resulting from rape, through Government Regulation No. 28/2004. This policy has sparked heated debate because it contradicts the principle of protecting the right to life of the fetus. This study aims to provide a complex overview of the issue of abortion in Indonesia and its implications for human rights. The method used is normative legal research. This research is conducted by examining library materials or secondary data. The two approaches used are a statutory approach related to the legal issue of abortion and a conceptual approach to examine the medical legal understanding of abortion due to rape. Cases of sexual violence and rape in Indonesia are still high. In 2023, Komnas Perempuan recorded 2,078 cases of sexual violence, of which 143 were rapes. Abortion, in this context, is often used as a solution to address unwanted pregnancies. This research shows that while Government Regulation No. 28 of 2024 provides legitimacy to abortion, it is still contrary to the right to life of the fetus guaranteed by law. While abortion is considered a violation of the right to life, this policy is also considered a protection for women victims of sexual violence. Despite arguments to protect women's rights, the right to life of the fetus as a non-derogable right should not be ignored. Therefore, there needs to be a review of this regulation to ensure that all human rights, including the right to life of the fetus, are optimally protected.

Authors: Suwandi  , Putri Riska , Utaminingsih Sri
Published: December 2024

This research examines various learning models implemented in secondary schools in different countries and their impact on the quality of education. In the context of globalization and rapid changes in the world of work, education is expected to develop skills relevant to future challenges. This research analyzes seven main learning models that have been proven effective in various countries, namely competency-based models, project-based learning, flipped classroom, inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning, problem-based learning, and technology-based models. Each model has its own characteristics and advantages, and is applied based on local needs and context. Competency-based models, for example, focus on developing students' practical skills needed in the world of work, while flipped classroom and technology-based models provide flexibility in material delivery and allow for more interactive learning. This study uses a literature study approach to collect data and information related to the implementation of these learning models. The results show that the implementation of the right learning model can improve students' motivation, engagement and learning outcomes. Other important factors are infrastructure readiness, teacher training, and education policy support for learning innovation. In Indonesia, the adaptation of these models can improve the quality of education at the secondary school level, provided that there are supporting policies and training for educators. This research provides recommendations for the development of more innovative and skills-based education policies to prepare young people for global challenges.
Chapter 1: Why I Wrote This Book

Published: December 2024

Do you know a scientist? Personally? Scientists are curious. They are resourceful and creative and can imagine a world and laws beyond the known. To achieve their goals, individual persistence and focus can be just as important as collaboration. The reward may be ground-breaking new knowledge and insights, but these may be far from public interest and difficult to explain. Have you met scientists who work in the natural sciences and technical disciplines? In movies and literature, scientists may play a sinister role and lack social skills. And they are often male. Have you ever met a woman chemist or engineer of my age, now over 70? I suppose not. In my early days as a scientist, a colleague spoke of me and those like me as an ‘endangered species’, alluding to our rarity. Maybe you are now interested in meeting me, if only through this book. Its title was chosen to reflect my passion for science and not just to describe my research in the field of combustion. To me, science is a creative life-form, like music or art. [...]

‘Open to new things’ could describe my state of mind after graduating from school in the summer of 1970. I knew that my subject was science, and I was looking forward to studying chemistry or physics at a university. However, for a girl of that time, my parents had their doubts. Could they support me? Would I be successful? Should a girl even pursue a higher degree? Would a university education in a science field be an obstacle to marriage? But I was determined, and I was, after much discussion, allowed to start with chemistry. [...]
Chapter 4: Sharing the Passion for Science

Published: December 2024

When I started working as a professor in Bielefeld in 1994, chemistry was not a popular subject. Student numbers in this discipline were low. In public opinion, chemistry was responsible for environmental damage and health problems. While fed by air pollution and some serious accidents and thus partly understandable, this opinion contrasted with the ubiquitous importance of chemical processes, whether in everyday products or in biological systems. The negative image also failed to convey the creative dimension of chemistry or the fascinating aspect of how chemistry can use insights at the molecular level to understand macroscopic phenomena. I was the mother of a four-year-old child and observed her interest in everything around her. It was question time. Her curiosity was the same mindset that drew me to science. Couldn’t one learn from the questions and unbiased approach of children to appreciate science? [...]

Words of thanks:
Writing this book would not have been possible without the valuable support of many people. First, I would like to thank the editorial team of Lives in Chemistry for their trust and feedback. Eva and Peter, in particular, have been important guides along the way. My sincere thanks also go to the professional publishing team.
One of the main questions during the last year of writing was whether the content would be of interest to a diverse audience, and it was always difficult for me to judge what certain readers might know about the different times, thoughts, environments, and conditions that I have experienced. Is it hard for young people to believe that there was no Internet and that you drew diagrams for publications by hand in ink? My test readers—ranging in age from 18 to 72 years, and with professional backgrounds in chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, and media experience—were patient and encouraged me with their thoughts on various episodes. Lisa, Dorothea, Andreas, Klaus, and Lars, you have been instrumental in pointing out where improvements were needed. [...]
The Work In Fishing Convention of 2007 as an instrument to combat coercive recruitment practices: A South African perspective
Authors: Hlazo N
Published: December 2024

The 2007 Work in Fishing Convention(C188) aims to ensure decent work conditions for fishers by establishing minimum work standards on board a fishing vessel. Despite the comprehensive nature of the C188, forced labour remains a pervasive challenge in the fisheries sector, exacerbated by the recruitment of vulnerable workers through deceptive practices. This article determines the extent to which South Africa’s current legal and regulatory measures comply with the C188 provisions relating to the recruitment and placement of fishers. The article concludes that there is a lacuna in South Africa’s legal framework in its obligation to regulate the recruitment and placement agencies of fishers, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous recruitment agencies. The article suggests two possible solutions to effectively implement the provisions of the C188 relating to the recruitment and placement of fishers. One option is to amend the existing Seafarer Recruitment and Placement Regulations of 2017 to include fishers. Alternatively, new Merchant Shipping (Fisher Recruitment and Placement) Regulations could be drafted. These new regulations would align with the existing Seafarer Recruitment and Placement Regulations and could be promulgated under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1951 or its successor, thereby giving effect to the convention.

Şâz ve Münker Rivayetlerin Dinî Düşüncedeki Yeri
Authors: Alkan Ahmet
Published: December 2024

Hadis ıstılahı olarak meşhur olan şâz ve münker rivayetler, İslâm’ın ilk dönemlerinden itibaren bütün ilmî alanlarda var olmuştur. Ancak bu riva-yetleri ifade eden kavramlar zaman, kişi ve ilmî disiplinlere göre değişebil-mektedir. Anlattığı hikâyelerde mübalağa üslubu kullanması ve ana akım rivayetlerde olmayan bazı detayları içermesi, insanların bu rivayetlere ilgi göstermesinin en önemli nedenlerindendir. Kur’an ve sünnetin temel pren-sip ve öğretilerine muhalif pek çok fikir ve düşünce, münker ve şâz rivayet-ler aracılığıyla dinî literatürde alan bulabilmiştir. İsrâîliyyat, bazı rivayet eserleri ve etki alanı geniş ekoller aracılığıyla yayılan ve Müslümanların fikir ve düşüncelerini her çağda etkileme potansiyeline sahip olan söz konusu rivayetlerin tenkit süzgecinden geçirilmesi, sebep oldukları tahribatın tespit edilmesi, tarihsel arka planlarının, kaynaklarının ve kullanılma gerekçeleri-nin anlaşılması ile bu rivayetlere karşı doğru tutumların belirlenmesi kritik öneme sahiptir. Modern dönemdeki bazı çalışmalarda, münker hadis, şâz kıraatler, şâz olan fıkhî görüşler, emr-i bi’l mar’ûf ve nehy-i ani’l münker konuları, mevzubahis kavramların kullanıldığı ilmî disiplindeki manası bağ-lamında incelenmiştir. “Şâz ve Münker Rivayetlerin Dinî Düşüncedeki Yeri” başlıklı bu çalışmada ise şâz ve münker rivayetlerin kavramsal çerçevesi, tarihsel arka planı, yaşam alanı bulduğu genel kaynaklar, insanların bu ri-vayetlere müracaat etmelerinin gerekçeleri, şâz ve münker rivayetlerin dinî düşünceye olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri ve söz konusu rivayetlere karşı doğru tutumun nasıl olması gerektiği konuları ele alınmaktadır. Konunun araştı-rılmasında klasik hadis eserlerine ve modern akademik çalışmalara müra-caat edilerek şâz ve münkerin kavramsal çerçevesi ve tarihsel arka planıyla ilgili değerlendirmelerin tahlili yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, şâz ve münker rivayetle-rin metin analizi yapılarak, bu rivayetlerin tutarlılığı ve İslam dinine uygun-luğu, dinî düşünceye olumlu ve olumsuz etkileri eleştirel bakış açısıyla tartı-şılmış, farklı ekol ve âlimlerin şâz ve münker hadislere yaklaşımlarını esas alan karşılaştırmalı yöntemden faydalanılmıştır.

Businesses used to exist primarily for the goal of making profits. Corporations, however, are now realizing that they must adopt a socially responsible stance to promote community growth and remain profitable in a fast-changing environment. As a result, there is a growing expectation among stakeholders that businesses should act responsibly towards society in addition to being profit-driven. In this view, corporate citizenship, ethical business practices, and corporate social opportunity are all included in modern corporate social responsibility (CSR). According to the notion, businesses should take society's interests into account by being accountable for how their actions affect their suppliers, consumers, workers, shareholders, communities, and other stakeholders in addition to the environment. This duty demonstrates that companies must act to enhance the welfare of all stakeholders to guarantee the growth and development of communities. This analysis examines the several CSR programs that businesses can implement to support sustainability and community development. By so doing the review considers such possibilities and challenges in implementing CSR initiatives. Academic databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and the Directory of Open Access were employed by the researchers for document analysis. The research was hinged on Carrol's theory. The study found that corporates may need to undertake different forms of CSR that include environmental responsibility, ethical responsibility, philanthropic responsibility, and economic responsibility. However, politics and lack of funding have been the major challenges in implementing such initiatives.

Published: December 2024

The most significant challenges for education systems in the post-COVID-19 context have emerged in the areas of child health and sustainable living. This paper aims to investigate the ways through which school counselors contribute to the promotion of sustainability for the benefit of students’ welfare and future. Mental health and environmental problems are becoming intertwined; thus, school counselors play a crucial role in linking sustainability to psychosocial care. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a sample of 177 participants comprising teachers, students, and members of a selected community. Data gathering was done using a structured questionnaire adapted from Google Forms. The questionnaire used a 4-point Likert scale to capture the level of awareness, implementation, and results of sustainability practices. To increase the validity of the instrument measuring the level of academic stress, the Scale of Academic Stress was reviewed by several experts in educational psychology and counseling. Reliability was determined to have robust validity with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.82, which is the result of the assessment of the stability and reliability of the measurement of the study’s constructs. Descriptive analysis was done in SPSS version 26. Mental health challenges that have been worsened by the pandemic are discussed and the ways that school counselors manage them as they support education that fosters responsible behavior are discussed in the study. Such strategies comprise psychological treatment, personal development education, and coordination with teachers and parents to design a supportive school environment. The research also reveals that due to counselor’s many roles, they can largely contribute to promoting student resilience and a sustainable culture to improve child foolishness and livelihoods.
The Impact of Mufassir's Beliefs on the Interpretation of the Qur'an: Analysis of the Conception of Istiwa', Kalam, and Ru'yatullah in Tafsir Al-Kasysyaf by Imam Al-Zamakhsyari
Authors: Didik Hariyanto  , Abdul Rauf Haris  , M. Aufa
Published: December 2024

The discussion of belief in Islam is an integral part of the Qur'an. Examining the interpretation of verses that talk about Islamic beliefs is a method of gaining a proper understanding of those beliefs. However, the religious background of a person interpreting the text will greatly influence his interpretation of verses that discuss Islamic beliefs. Therefore, it is important to choose a book of tafsir written by mufassir who has a valid belief background. This study examines Imam al-Zamakhshari's interpretation of the nature of istiwa, kalam, and ru'yatullah and the impact of the beliefs held by him on the results of his interpretation. Imam al-Zamakhshari, who had Mu'tazilite beliefs, was the subject of research. Al-Kasysyaf, a work of lugawi exegesis compiled by Imam al-Zamakhshari, was the focus of this study. The purpose of this study is to understand Imam al-Zamakhshari's interpretation of the nature of istiwa', kalam, and ru'yatullah and identify the influence of Mu'tazilite beliefs on the results of the interpretation produced by Imam al-Zamakhshari. This research is a study of characters. The conclusion of this study is as follows: First, Imam al-Zamakhshari interprets the nature of istiwa' as power or istawla, as well as istila'. Regarding the nature of Allah's kalam, Imam al-Zamakhshari explained that Allah speaks by creating these words. Regarding ru'yatullah, Imam al-Zamakhshari interprets the word "ziyadah" in Surah Yunus verse 26 as an additional reward that is a gift from Allah, and interprets the word "nazhirah" in Surah Al-Qiyamah verse 23 as hope and anticipation of favor from Allah. Secondly, the beliefs held by Imam al-Zamakhshari caused him to reject or deny these three qualities in his interpretation.

Work Allocation and Time Management System
Authors: Mohammed Awwal , Selvarajah Caroline Sumathi
Published: December 2024

Time management and work allocation are some of the most important aspects of conducting business operations or completing projects. Various investigations by previous researchers have shown that issues that manifest as a result of improper work allocation techniques and time management procedures include (but not limited to) indelicate actualization of tasks, noncompliance with established regulatory procedures, and lack of total identification of workforce expertise domain. This paper discusses a proposed system that aims to adapt the characteristics of the ALPEN time management framework (ALPEN stands for Activity, Length, Planning, Establishment of priorities, Notation) in conjunction with the paradigms of work allocation, into a mobile application. The backgrounds, core introduction of the relevant elements, literature review, applicable development technologies, and potentially suitable methodologies are subsequently covered herewith. We deploy the proposed system on the Android platform with Firebase as the main backend. We analyse and justify the rationale behind the methodologies we applied in developing the proposed system. We deem the end results acceptable upon evaluating its usability using the ISO 9126 criteria-based assessment evaluation technique.

Published: December 2024

Water is a valuable resource that serves various purposes for humans. However, with the rapid increase in industrial zones, urban areas, and population, water pollution has become a significant concern due to human activities such as production and exploitation. Recognizing the importance of water resources, this paper explores an IoT-based system for monitoring and LoRaWAN communication technology to issue pollution level alerts for water sources. The system consists of sensors and LoRa wireless technology to transmit and process data on a web server, enabling users to monitor water quality. The wireless sensors (measurement stations) can measure parameters such as electrical conductivity, temperature, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH levels, and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in water.

Fehima Nametka u istraživanju i predstavljanju bosanskohercegovačke rukopisne baštine. Iako je tokom svoje šest decenija duge akademske karijere prof. Nametak ostavio neizbrisiv trag u nastavnom procesu i obrazovanju novih generacija turkologa, na pet različitih univerziteta, činjenica je da njegovi radovi iz oblasti stvaralaš-tva Bošnjaka na orijentalnim jezicima predstavljaju osnovu i vodilju za mlađe generacije istraživača, i kao takvi imaju posebno mjesto i značaj za sva dalja istraživanja kulturne i književne povijesti ovog prostora.
