The Role of Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (Financial Services Authority) in Supervising Sharia Banking Products in Indonesia
Authors: Hanifah Ida
Published: November 2019

The number of cross-sectoral issues in the financial services sector including Islamic banking, which includes moral hazard measures, lack of optimal protection of financial services, and the disruption of financial system stability increasingly encourage the need for the establishment of a supervisory institution in the integrated financial services sector. The source of moral damage in the management of the economy encourages the establishment of newsupervision institutions, more accountable and has a tighter function in overseeing the financial system so that it can better guarantee the achievement of financial system stability. Based on that, Financial Services Authority was formed. Various regulations that have been and will be made by the Financial Services Authority related to Islamic banking are expected to be able to provide protection for the Islamic banking industry as well as spur the development of Islamic banking in Indonesia. More comprehensive and effective supervision of sharia banking is needed along with the increase in market players, product / service variants, and increasingly innovative and complex technological advancements. During this time the existence of Financial Services Authority for Islamic banking has not felt its existence. Financial Services Authority Law is still silent on sharia-based financial services.

Authors: Türker Tuğba , Bayrak Yusuf
Published: November 2019

The aim of this study determined spatial-temporal variations of Gutenberg-Richter b-values using the Classic Method of Moment (CMM) and seismicity in and around Lake Van. We wrote a Matlab program for this method in the Matlab system. The faults for the Van region used as updated in the GIS system given the reference from the different sources by Bayrak and Türker (will be used in the doctoral thesis). Around Lake Van divided into 4 different seismic source regions. For each seismic source region, probabilities ranging from 0 to 1, the annual probability of exceedances and return periods were calculated for the next 25, 50 and 100 years. Van region determined the seismicity b value changes, β-values. We mapped spatial variations of the b-values using the GIS system. As a result, Lake Van region (region 2) occurred 7.1 magnitude an earthquake in the next 100 years with 31 % probability levels. If it occurred in the 50 years with 15 % probability levels, in the 25 years with 7.8 % probability levels. We estimated the low b-values in the Lake Van so, it has been the high seismicity and can be occurred an earthquake as the high magnitude in the next years. This study will be lead to earthquake hazard analysis and seismic hazard studies in and around Lake Van.
DIFFERENT REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES IN DAMAGED BUILDINGS
Authors: Bidaj Altin , Deneko Enio , Hysenlliu Mario
Published: November 2019

During their lifetime, the capacity of the single elements or of the entire structures is not anymore adequate to the static and dynamic functions requested by the project, mainly caused from deterioration of the masonry structures or the change of the destination and the purpose of the elements. Externally bonded FRP may be used in a repair capacity for structures that have moderate earthquakes damages or to reinforce structures considered to be vulnerable. The FRP strengthening systems are used mainly for flexural and shear strengthening of the structural elements subjected to bending moments and shear forces larger than their flexural and shear capacity, especially the beam-column joints. Many experiences in rehabilitation of damaged masonry buildings have been carried out in Europe in the last decades. Several unsuccessful results have underscored the need for adequate assessment prior to any rehabilitation. In fact, when neither the real state of damage nor the effectiveness of repairs is known, the results of the intervention are also unpredictable. In this article there are described different techniques used for reinforcement of masonry structures, with their advantages or disadvantages.
Modeling of Irrigation Process Using Fuzzy Logic for Combating Drought
Authors: ADAK M. Fatih
Published: November 2019

The increased popularity of smart home technologies, lower prices of technical infrastructure and the growing demand for these technologies accelerated the development of smart systems. Automatic irrigation of the soil with the help of automatic systems will prevent sufficient irrigation of the soil in dry periods. This can cause the cultivated area and garden plants wither and eventually die. In this study, a smart plant irrigation system is developed, aiming to address the need for these systems in such cases. The system here is created using various sensors, and, through application of a fuzzy model, it can determine the amount of water required for a specific period. The fuzzy model determines the exact amount of water needed by the plant, hence prevents undesirable situations like excessive or insufficient watering of the plant. This enables planning for soil irrigation. The system proposed in this paper is a low-cost and easy-to-install one that can be applied in any agriculture.

Étude de l'extraction sélective du nickel d'un minerai garniéritique pauvre par sulfuration par le soufre suivie de recuit en tube scellé
Authors: Gruget Olivier , Delbove François , Perruchot Alain
Published: November 2019

L'action du soufre, en tube scellé à 700 °C, sur un minerai garniéritique pauvre, conduit à une sulfuration sélective du nickel ; cependant, l'extrême finesse des sulfures obtenus est un obstacle à leur récupération par voie physique (flottation).

Dans le but d'améliorer la taille des grains de sulfures, on a soumis un minerai ainsi sulfuré à l'action de divers recuits :

— Un simple recuit à 1 000 °C donne lieu à une augmentation limitée de la taille des grains qui restent encore difficilement séparables. La baisse importante du taux de sulfuration du fer conduit cependant à une nette amélioration en ce qui concerne la sélectivité de l'opération.

— Un recuit en présence de 3 % de NaCl permet d'accroître sensiblement la taille des grains tout en améliorant également la sélectivité. Les granulométries obtenues (D₈₀ compris entre 10 et 20 µm) rendent possible une séparation par voie physique. Les sulfures sont constitués de Mss lorsque le recuit est suivi d'une trempe, et d'assemblages de phases sulfurées diverses lorsque le refroidissement est lent, tandis que les silicates recristallisent en orthopyroxènes.

The presented study considers the susceptibility of gross domestic product (GDP) production to a shift in the number of the working-age population due to an increase in retirement age starting with 2019.Aim. The study aims to examine the quantitative assessments of GDP production in Russia with allowance for the changes in the number of the working-age population due to an increase in the actual retirement age.Tasks. The authors forecast the number of the working-age population with allowance for an increase in the retirement age; develop a model to establish a correlation between the number of the workingage population, investment in fixed capital, and GDP production; quantify the impact of the shift in the number of the working-age population on GDP production in Russia.Methods. This study is based on the results of modeling and long-term forecasting.Results. An economic-mathematical model to establish a correlation between the number of the working-age population, investment in fixed capital, and GDP production is presented. To specify the economic effects of a shift in the number of the working-age population due to an increase in the retirement age, Russia’s GDP production is forecasted for the “old” and “new” (increased retirement age) pension scheme. The forecast is provided for three variants of the number of the working-age population.Conclusions. It is found that with the “old” pension scheme with a lower retirement age GDP production across all three variants will decrease by 2036 compared to 2017. With regard to the “new” scheme that increases the retirement age, it is concluded that an increase in the retirement age is a factor that facilitates GDP production. However, its effect on economic growth will be insignificant.

Three quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water[1]. Based on a survey, with the world’s population growing every year, the supply of usable water is not keeping enough with the required amount of water needed for survival. Nowadays, clean water has become a business which produces constraints when it comes to accessibility. Here in the Philippines, there are various diseases every year which relates to unsafe drinking water which may sometimes lead to death. The researchers want to know the effectivity of the assessed solar desalination system, how much desalinated water could this system provide and how long does it take for this amount to be produced in a given day. This study uses a parabolic trough which is the main means of harnessing solar energy and transferring this energy to the saltwater container which will heat up the pre-specified amount of saline water. The vapor will evaporate and the condensate will be trapped in the glass lid and routed to a desalinated water container. An evaluation is made to know the effective glass thickness for the device, the 3mm, 6mm and 10 mm thickness has been assessed and after the testing phase, it has been found out that the 10 mm glass thickness produced the optimum results. It is able to produce a liter of desalinated water out of 5000 mL of saline water. It is then observed that the 10mm glass thickness has the highest volume conversion efficiency of 23.10 % , followed by the 6mm glass thickness of 21.90% and the 3mm glass thickness of 17.30%.

An effort to find an alternative for conventional steel in concrete by researchers leads to study the behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars in concrete. In the present study the flexural behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced polymerconcrete beams. The tension test on BFRP bars demonstrated that BFRP bars have nearly three times high tensile strength, low modulus of elasticity of nearly one-fourth of conventional steel bars and alsothe stress-strain behaviour is linearwithout any yield point up to failure. In the present study, flexural behaviour of concrete beams reinforced with BFRP rebars comparing with reference beams made with conventional steel reinforcement. Load carrying capacity, deflection at mid-span and mode of cracking is observed. The beam with flexural BFRP reinforcement has load capacity of 46.7 kN whereas for beam with steel rebars has flexural load capacity of 37.6 kN. Deflections of BFRP reinforced concrete beams at midspan during failure is 14mm considerably more than the steel reinforced beam deflection which is 5.6mm, due to much lower modulus of elasticity of BFRP rebars when compared to steel rebars. Average width of cracks at failure in BFRP concrete beams nearly 4 times higher than in the reference steel concrete beams.

In the present research investigation, ductile iron castings conforming to IS400/12 grade casting were produced using green sand moulds. The castings were produced in a regular production foundry using 1.25T Induction Furnace. The molten metal was subjected to standard desulphurisation and modularisation to get graphite in the nodular form. The molten metal was poured into the sand mould and allowed to solidify. Based on the earlier investigation by the above group the castings were austenitised at 900oC for 120minutes and quenched in a salt bath consisting of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate in the ratio of 55:45 and maintained at 310oC for 120 minutes to bring about austempering treatment. The result in austempered ductile iron will consist of graphite nodules in a matrix of bainite[1,2]. The effect of austempering heat treatment on microstructure, mechanical properties and wear characteristics were studied and compared with the ascast condition. Mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength, percentage elongation, hardness and impact strength were determined. Wear tests were carried out to determine the weight loss of specimens; using pin on disc type machine. Wear test was held for different loads viz. 300 gm, 400 gm and 500 gm and different speeds conditions viz. 950 r.p.m, 1430 r.p.m and 2130 r.p.m. The results of the research investigation indicate that the heat treated castings shows higher Ultimate Tensile Setength values (35.93% increase), elongation values (24.2% increase) and Brinell hardness values (12.05% increases) as compared to the as-cast condition of casting. From the dry sliding wear studies, it is seen that heat treated specimens shows higher resistance to wear compared to the ascast specimens.

Protein Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a process, that helps in alignment of more than two protein sequences to establish an evolutionary relationship between the sequences. As part of Protein MSA, the biological sequences are aligned in a way to identify maximum similarities. Over time the sequencing technologies are becoming more sophisticated and hence the volume of biological data generated is increasing at an enormous rate. This increase in volume of data poses a challenge to the existing methods used to perform effective MSA as with the increase in data volume the computational complexities also increases and the speed to process decreases. The accuracy of MSA is another factor critically important as many bioinformatics inferences are dependent on the output of MSA. This paper elaborates on the existing state of the art methods of protein MSA and performs a comparison of four leading methods namely MAFFT, Clustal Omega, MUSCLE and ProbCons based on the speed and accuracy of these methods. BAliBASE version 3.0 (BAliBASE is a repository of manually refined multiple sequence alignments) has been used as a benchmark database and accuracy of alignment methods is computed through the two widely used criteria named Sum of pair score (SPscore) and total column score (TCscore). We also recorded the execution time for each method in order to compute the execution speed.

The basic goal of information security is, to protect the privacy, reliability, and availability of information on devices that manipulate and store the information. To protect this information, the fundamental step is user authentication. The most common method for authentication on devices is the personal identification number (PIN) method, which is vulnerable to shoulder surfing attack. Shoulder surfing attack used by attacker especially in the crowded public places. For shoulder surfing attack prevention several methods had been proposed. This paper proposed a GazeTouchCrossPIN authentication method that overcome the limitations found in the earlier work. we propose a multimodal authentication system that combines between the gaze gesture and touch PIN authentication systems. The results illustrate that the proposed GazeTouchCrossPIN method is more secure hence it decreases the shoulder surfing rate in both side attacks and iterative attacks.

Medical image processing is very wide and most interesting area of research now days. It covers wide application in diagnosis of diseases and analysis of inner body structure. Medical image processing include the study of internal body structure like organs, tissues, etc., which produce better information and help to detect disease using the digitalized data of human organs. In last few decades, so many denoising techniques were proposed like DWT techniques, Maximum likelihood (ML) etc. But all these algorithms have some limitations to preserve edges and fine details. So there is need of compromise between de-noising quality and edge preservation to use images for real time application. The proposed advancement in Non-Local Means filtering with different distant function and analyze them for best results. NLM filter reduce noise without degrading important features like edges and fine details. The analysis is based on the quality and quantity base like MSE, PSNR and SSIM.

In this paper, grasshopper optimization algorithm is presented to resolve the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem involving cubic functions considering power flow constraints. Electric power system wants to satisfy its customers load demand with minimum fuel cost and emission. Fuel cost and emission has instantly association with energy cost. In CEED problem, the price penalty factor occupies a cardinal role to fetch the optimal results. The various types of price penalty factor available in the literature are analyzed to determine the optimal one for the test cases considered. The test systems used in this CEED problem are 3 unit system considering transmission loss and 13 unit system considering valve point effects. The leading requirement in both the test cases is to optimize the total cost, fuel cost and emission. The numerical and statistical results affirm the high degree of the solution founded by GOA and its superiority is compared with already existing algorithms employed in solving CEED problems.

Friction welding is a promising technique for the welding of dissimilar metals. This study deals with the welding of two different alloys, namely, AISI 304 and AISI 1040. The welding process parameters, namely, friction pressure, friction time, forging pressure, and forging time were optimized for maximum tensile strength using a response surface methodology (RSM)-based technique and an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model. The predicted responses obtained using the ANFIS model were more accurate compared to those obtained using the RSM. From among the four input parameters examined in the study, the frictional pressure was found to be the most influential. The ANFIS model developed in this study shows significant promise as a predictive technique that can provide reasonable estimates of tensile strength for different welding parameters.

This article investigates the slump and compressive strength of artificial lightweight aggregate concrete with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Silica Fume with glass fibres. The increase in usage of cement in the construction industry is a concern for ecological deterioration, in this view; artificial aggregates was manufactured with major amount of fly ash and replacement of cement with various industrial by-products in concrete. An optimum level of GGBFS from 10 to 50% and Silica Fume from 2 to 6% with addition of glass fibres was assessed based on compressive strength values. The compressive strength was conducted for 7 and 28Days of water curing on M30 grade lightweight concrete with constant water to cement ratio as 0.45 and 0.2% of Master Gelenium super plasticizer. The conclusions achieved from the compressive strength of concrete containing GGBFS and Silica Fume was increased as the curing time increases. As a result lightweight aggregate concrete with a cement content of 226 kg/m3 develops 37.3 N/mm2 compressive strength.
