Authors: Pandey Shivendra Kumar , Singh Buddha
Published: May 2023

Due to the advancement of electronics engineering technology, many types of sensors have been developed. But sensors are still battery-powered devices. Once the battery is dead, the sensors are of no use. So, energy optimization in wireless sensor networks is still a hot topic among researchers. This paper proposed a novel clustering method that uses the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) algorithm to select the Cluster Heads (CHs). TOPSIS is a Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) based model which uses several conflicting attributes to select the best alternative. We have compared our proposed model with two other comparable models to evaluate the performance of our proposed model. The result shows that our proposed model performs better than other models.

Published: May 2023

There are many factors in financial markets that have different levels of understanding and knowledge in managing available information. With this condition, actors/participants, especially investors, will be informed differently, or there will be information asymmetry in the financial market. This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework that investigates and provides a systematic understanding of the relationship between profit quality, voluntary disclosure, and information asymmetry as single and interaction effects. Furthermore, the study explains the role of corporate governance implementation on the quality of earnings and voluntary disclosure. The explanation of the relationship between the variables studied is based on agency theory with a literature review related to earning quality, voluntary disclosure, information asymmetry, and corporate governance. This conceptual framework illustrates the impact of earning quality and voluntary disclosure on information asymmetry and the role of the interaction between earnings quality and voluntary disclosure of information asymmetry. The results of the literature review present five prepositions that can be formulated in hypotheses to be confirmed. In conclusion, this framework allows researchers and practitioners to investigate further the relationship between variables intended in this research model.

Total Defence: A Comprehensive Approach to National Defence Governance
Authors: Grigalashvili Vephkhvia
Published: May 2023

Defence policy, such as total defence (also known as comprehensive defence), are considered a matter of national priority and consensus in some states. Comprehensive defence, viewed as whole government and whole society approach to national defence, plays a critical role in national defence and deterrence credibility. The modern-day concept of comprehensive national defence remains staple in defence planning and the perception of risks to national security as it is based on two fundamental principles – resistance and resilience. Total defence, as a concept, is intended to ensure the best possible utilization of society’s limited resources when it comes to prevention, contingency planning and consequence management across the entire spectrum of crises. The article discusses the idea of comprehensive national defence and represents a basic review of the defence approaches of some states such as Singapore, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Norwey and Georgia to identify fundamental pillars of comprehensive defence concept.

Authors: Putri Jihan Salsabila Anggoro , Chondro Fransisca
Published: May 2023

Kualitas hidup pasien kanker dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor penting, salah satunya adalah kualitas tidur. Pada umumnya, penderita kanker memiliki kualitas tidur dan kualitas hidup yang buruk akibat dari gangguan tidur yang dialaminya. Gangguan yang berpengaruh pada kualitas tidur ataupun kualitas hidup pasien tersebut dapat dipengaruhi oleh perjalanan penyakit, terapi yang dijalani pasien, atau faktor lainnya yang spesifik pada jenis kanker tertentu, seperti gejala pernapasan pada pasien kanker paru. Pada umumnya, semakin berat gejala yang dialami pasien, maka kualitas tidurnya pun akan menjadi lebih buruk. Hal tersebut mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pada pasien kanker, dimana semakin berat gejala yang dialami maka kualitas hidup akan semakin menurun. Akan tetapi, perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut berkaitan hubungan kualitas tidur pasien kanker dan kualitas hidupnya, karena terdapat penelitian yang menyatakan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik antara kualitas tidur dan kualitas hidup. Perbedaan hasil ini dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti, waktu pengambilan data dan penggunaan instrumen pengukuran yang berbeda. Diperlukan juga penelusuran lebih lanjut faktor-faktor dan mekanisme terjadinya gangguan kualitas tidur pada pasien kanker, agar dapat dijadikan pertimbangan dalam pemberian perawatan pada pasien dengan tujuan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien.

Luther’s Reformatory Discovery: Justification by Faith
Authors: Weirong ZHAO
Published: May 2023

Luther saw from his monastic ascetic experience and the corruption and external ostentation reflected in the sacraments of the Catholic Church at that time that Catholicism had not solved the most critical problem – “How can man continue to stand before God”,that is, the question of why humans can be justified.The doctrine of justification by faith is regarded as the cornerstone and yardstick of Luther's entire theology, the “sun that illuminates God's Holy Church,” and is concerned with the rise and fall of the entire church. This paper combs the historical background of Luther's Reformation and the five theological sources of the doctrine of justification by faith, expounds the essential attributes of "faith" and "justification" as well as the relationship between "faith" and "justification", and intends to make a more comprehensive and in-depth interpretation and analysis of Luther's core doctrine of justification by faith by using the current relatively new literature.

Maintaining a specific geometric pattern is essential in various applications where groups of autonomous robots must follow a given path. Proper organization of the geometric pattern can lead to several benefits such as cost reduction, increased system reliability, and efficiency while providing a reconfigurable and flexible structure of the system. Military missions and traffic systems are examples where maintaining certain geometric patterns are widely used. However, little is known about how to develop an effective algorithm that guarantees collision avoidance and obstacle avoidance while maintaining the geometric pattern. This paper presents an algorithm for movement with a certain geometric structure of a group of autonomous mobile robots that maintains the required geometric pattern and ensures the avoidance of collisions and obstacles. The proposed algorithm is behavior-based and utilizes a set of rules that allow the robots to navigate around obstacles and avoid collisions. The algorithm's performance is demonstrated through simulations in a variety of scenarios with different numbers of robots and geometric patterns. The algorithm proposed in this paper provides an effective solution for controlling a group of autonomous mobile robots to maintain a certain geometric pattern. The proposed algorithm has the potential to be utilized in numerous applications where multiple robots must work together to achieve a common goal while maintaining a specific formation. The use of behavior-based approach and obstacle avoidance rules ensures that the robots avoid collisions and obstacles while maintaining the required pattern

Antitubercular drugs including rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide can cause rare but severe adverse effects involving the central nervous system. Neuropsychiatric side effects ranging from headache to psychosis have been reported. Early identification and management is crucial to improve outcomes. We report the case of a 26-year-old female with a history of tuberculosis who developed symptoms of organic psychosis after taking antitubercular drugs for 45 days. She presented with altered sensorium, seizures, sensory and memory loss. Diagnosis of drug-induced psychosis was made based on the temporal association and exclusion of other causes. Symptoms resolved after discontinuation of the culprit medications. Clinicians should be aware of neuropsychiatric adverse effects of antitubercular drugs which though rare can be serious. Timely diagnosis and withdrawal of the offending medications are needed to improve outcomes in such cases.
The Effect of Clarity of Budget Targets and Reporting System on Performance Accountability with Internal Control as Intervening Variables in SKPD Kotabaru District Government

Published: May 2023

PurposeFinancial Reporting System, In the public sector, financial reports have an important role in generating accountability. The financial information contained in the financial statements becomes the basis for considering decisions. Financial information as a tool to carry out public accountability as effectively as possible, and is not included as the final goal of public sector accounting. MethodologyThis study aims to examine the clarity of budget targets and reporting systems that affect performance accountability. This study also examines whether the internal control system mediates the effect of the clarity of budget targets and the reporting system. This study is of the type of associative causality and is carried out through a survey method by distributing questionnaires to the compilers of the performance accountability report of government agencies in Kotabaru.FindingsThe population of this study was all SKPD in the Kotabaru Regency Government, totalling 30 SKPD consisting of 82 sample respondents. This study uses descriptive statistical analysis and partial least squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. Analysis powered by Smart-PLS 3.0.ImplicationThe results of this study show that the clarity of budget targets and internal controls affect the performance accountability of government agencies, while the reporting system does not affect performance accountability. Clarity of budget targets, and reporting systems affect internal control. Internal control as an intervening variable can affect the clarity of budget objectives and reporting systems on performance accountability.

We say that a Lie (super)algebra is ''symmetric'' if with every root (with respect to the maximal torus) it has the opposite root of the same multiplicity. Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristics (up to 7 or 11, enough to formulate a general conjecture), we computed the cohomology corresponding to the infinitesimal deformations of all known simple finite-dimensional symmetric Lie (super)algebras of rank <9, except for superizations of the Lie algebras with ADE root systems, and queerified Lie algebras, considered only partly. The moduli of deformations of any Lie superalgebra constitute a supervariety. Any infinitesimal deformation given by any odd cocycleis integrable. All deformations corresponding to odd cocycles are new. Among new results are classifications of the cocycles describing deforms (results of deformations) of the 29-dimensional Brown algebra in characteristic 3, of Weisfeiler-Kac algebras and orthogonal Lie algebras without Cartan matrix in characteristic 2. Open problems: describe non-isomorphic deforms and equivalence classes of cohomology theories. Appendix: For several modular analogs of complex simple Lie algebras, and simple Lie algebras indigenous to characteristics 3 and 2, we describe the space of cohomology with trivial coefficients. We show that the natural multiplication in this space is very complicated.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE CENTRAL BANK’S POLICY ON CRYPTOCURRENCIES
Authors: Pečiulis Tomas , Vasiliauskaitė Asta
Published: May 2023

In this article, we discuss the central banks’ attitude to cryptocurrencies and focus more on European Central Bank. First, based on the analysis of scientific literature, we show that cryptocurrency is money and performs all of the functions of money, such as the exchange medium, value storage, and accounts unit. We found a positive correlation between the level of economic development of a country and the level of regulation and the integration of crypto cryptocurrencies into the economic system. We discuss not only the approach of the ECB to cryptocurrencies, but also how it developed. According to the study data, the ECB only began to respond to cryptocurrency as an equivalent monetary instrument in 2021, established regulatory mechanisms, and developed the digital euro project.

This research highlights the extent to which fiscal policies, along with government effectiveness, trade, economic growth, and education, influence the entrepreneurial environment, starting from the assumption that the effectiveness of public policies and the public administration support for entrepreneurship has proven to be a trigger for development and a means of reducing social inequalities and increasing well-being. Our analysis is based on a panel threshold regression model, which returns parameters for the predictors, in which there is a changing point in fiscal policy as the threshold variable on entrepreneurship activity. The database consisted of annual data from 2002-2019, referring to the European Union’s member states, presented visually based on the data mapping process to evidence the hierarchy of the EU countries for each of the analysed phenomena. Our results evidenced tax policy, trade, and government effectiveness as significant influential factors in stimulating entrepreneurship in EU countries. Although GDP growth and education positively influenced entrepreneurial activity, the statistical tests did not confirm it. Therefore, Governments can encourage entrepreneurial opportunities through harmonised tax legislation with EU regulations and a lighter regulatory burden and policies that foster competition, lower taxes, increase transparency and provide open access for all businesses.

A comprehensive understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems is crucial for ecological research and conservation. Recent advances in non-invasive methods, such as DNA metabarcoding, have enabled researchers to collect vast amounts of data on wild animal diets. However, sharing this data and metadata effectively and transparently presents new challenges. To address this, a new type of scholarly journal publication has emerged that aims to describe datasets rather than report research investigations. In this paper, we present a dataset of consumed prey species and parasites based on the metabarcoding of 113 faecal samples from the greater and lesser mouse-eared bats (Myotis myotis and Myotis blythii), along with a detailed description of the data sampling, laboratory analysis, and bioinformatics pipeline. Our dataset comprises 1018 unique Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) from 12 Classes and 43 Orders. In addition, we provide interactive Krona charts to visually summarize the taxonomic relationships and relative read abundance of the consumed prey species and parasites. This data can be used for meta-analysis, exploring new predator-prey and host-parasite interactions, studying inter and intraspecific ecological interactions, and informing protected area management, among other applications. By sharing this dataset, we hope to encourage other researchers to use it to answer additional ecological questions and advance our understanding of trophic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems.
Soil centipedes (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha) in the Val Camonica forests (Southern Alps): species composition and richness
Authors: Magnolini Roberto , Bonato Lucio
Published: May 2023

Soil centipedes (Chilopoda, Geophilomorpha) are a widespread group of predators in the forest soils of the European Alps. While in the eastern and western parts of the Southern Prealps, larger efforts were devoted to sample and study the geophilomorph fauna, little is known about species richness and composition of geophilomorph communities in the central part of Southern Prealps. In this work, five sites located in the Val Camonica were surveyed by hand searching, between November 2021 and July 2022 and their species richness was estimated applying non-parametrical statistical methods (Chao-1 and Abundance-based Coverage Estimator) to account for incomplete detection. A total of 18 species were found amongst the five sites. A maximum of 12 species were recorded in each single site, while estimates suggest that another 1-3 species were likely undetected. Species composition were found highly variable also between sites with similar species richness.
