This study is entitled "The Influence of Uniqueness, Quality, and Price Conformity in Savings Products on Competitive Advantage at Bank SUMUT KC Syariah Medan". This study aims to find out whether the uniqueness, quality, and price suitability of savings products have a partial or simultaneous effect on competitive advantage at Bank SUMUT KC Syariah Medan Katamso. This research uses the type of associative research. The dependent variable (Y) in this study is competitive advantage, the independent variable is the uniqueness of the savings product (X1), the quality of the savings product (X2), and the price suitability of the savings product (X3). The population in this study were customers of Bank SUMUT KC Syariah Medan with a total sample of 100 respondents using a probability sampling technique. Data collection is done by distributing questionnaires to customers. Data analysis used SPSS Statistics 20.00 with multiple regression. The results of the study revealed that in the T test variable X1 (uniqueness of savings products) had a significant positive effect on competitive advantage, variable X2 (quality of savings products) had a significant positive effect on competitive advantage, and variable X3 (price appropriateness) had a significant positive effect on competitive advantage. Based on the results of the F test, it was found that the uniqueness, quality, and price suitability of savings products have a simultaneous effect on Competitive Advantage. In the Coefficient of Determination Test (R2) it can be seen that the Adjusted R Square value obtained is 0.656 (65.6%). This shows that the independent variables X1 (Unique Savings Products), X2 (Quality of Savings Products), and X3 (Price appropriateness of Savings Products) have a strong ability (0.60-0.799) in explaining variations in the dependent variable Y (Competitive Advantage). . The remaining 34.5% will be influenced by other factors which cannot be explained in this study.

Forward Secrecy Attack on Privacy-Preserving Machine Authenticated Key Agreement for Internet of Things
Authors: Chiphiko Batamu Anderson , Kim Hyunsung , Ali Patrick , Eneya Levis 
Published: December 2023

Internet of Things (IoT) is to connect billions of devices and machines via Internet and to have a smart system. Sensors and devices in IoT environment are connected and communicated together. Connecting such a huge number of devices requires high level of security and privacy. A crucial characteristic of ubiquitous IoT devices is their limited resources. In recent times, a scheme for privacy-preserving machine authenticated key agreement scheme (PPMAKA) has been introduced for the IoT environment. It was argued that PPMAKA provides security and privacy at the same time including forward secrecy. Nevertheless, this paper will demonstrate that PPMAKA lacks forward secrecy, a crucial security, and privacy feature in the IoT environment. We use Cannetti and Krawzyck threat model for the detailed analysis of PPMAKA. Furthermore, we provide remarks for the future research as it is recommendable to design any security and privacy schemes over IoT environments with lightweight operation and communication property, authenticated key agreement with forward secrecy, anonymity, and unlinkability.

Role of Demographic Factors in Shaping Sustainable Lifestyles: An Empirical Study in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Phuong Mai , Chu Minh Thanh , Nguyen Minh Duong 
Published: December 2023

In recent years, sustainable lifestyles (SLS) has emerged as a topic that addresses the trend of sustainable development globally. However, most developing and emerging economies have not put adequate effort to promote SLS. Vietnam is not an exception. There is not much evidence of how Vietnamese people are responding to the urgent call of actions towards sustainable development. In such a context, this paper explores how demographic factors shape the SLS in Vietnam. An online survey was implemented to gather primary data from Vietnamese people in four months. Finally, we received 385 valid responses. ANOVA tests were employed to check the proposed hypotheses about the differences in SLS regarding age, gender, and income. Research results revealed that age, gender and income are not associated with the SLS of Vietnamese people. Our findings imply that the Vietnamese government should play a proactive role in promoting SLS. Some recommendations were proposed, including investment in public transportation, sustainable product design, zero-waste policies, and the like.

On the postoperative PVC splint guided bandage was applied to the extremity. At postoperative 15 day intervals, clinical and radiological examinations were performed. On the 45th day of the controls, it was observed that the lamb was comfortably use the extremity and there was no problem in its walk.
Koulujen tarkastustoiminta ja sen lakkaaminen Suomessa
Authors: Lyytinen Heikki K , Rautama Pauli 
Published: December 2023

Katsauksessa tarkastellaan koulujen tarkastustoiminnan yli 100-vuotista elinkaarta ja erityisesti sen päättymisvaihetta osana koulutuksen valvontaa ja koulujärjestelmän kehittämistä. Ensimmäisten kahdeksan päätoimisen tarkastajan viran perustamisesta vuodesta 1885 peruskoulujärjestelmän toimeenpanoon saakka koulutarkastukset antoivat tietoa kansakoulujen tilasta opettajille, kuntien päättäjille sekä keskushallinnolle. Oppikouluja valvoi Kouluhallitus. Tarkastajilla oli säännöksiin perustuva toimivalta edellyttää parannuksia tarkastuskäyntien aikana havaittuihin epäkohtiin. Lääninhallituksiin 1970 kootut koulutoimentarkastajat osallistuivat tarkastustehtävien ohella monipuolisesti ja tuloksellisesti myös peruskoulu-uudistuksen valmisteluun, kokeiluun sekä itse uudistuksen toimeenpanoon.
Peruskoulu-uudistuksen myötä opetushallinnon työnjako muuttui. Koulutuksen järjestäjän ja itse koulun toimivalta, vastuu ja asiantuntemus vahvistuivat. Tulollaan olleessa 1990-luvun hajautetussa hallintomallissa ei katsottu tarkastustoiminnan tuottavan lisäarvoa koulutuksen kehittämiseen. Ratkaiseva päätös tarkastustoiminnan lakkaamisesta tehtiin vuonna 1988 ilman tavanomaisia perusteluja. Tilalle kehittyi ennen pitkää kansainvälisestä käytännöstä poiketen ulkopuolisen arvioinnin riippumattomuutta korostava ja arvioinnin asiantuntijuutta monipuolisesti ja verkostomaisesti hyödyntävä arviointijärjestelmä.
Vuodesta 2014 lähtien suomalaisesta koulutuksen ja varhaiskasvatuksen kansallisesta arvioinnista on vastannut oppimistulosten arviointia myöten Kansallinen koulutuksen arviointikeskus. Valtion aluehallintoon jäi koulutuksen saavutettavuuden seurantaan keskittyvä peruspalvelujen arviointi sekä oppilaiden oikeusturvaa koskevien valitusten ja kantelujen ratkaiseminen. Näiden lisäksi koulujärjestelmää tukevat ylikansalliset arvioinnit.
Trace and ultratrace elements in spinel subgroup minerals of ultramafic rocks from the Voltri Massif (NW Italy): the influence of microstructure and texture

Published: December 2023

Abstract. An innovative multi-analytical approach comprising mineralogical, minero-chemical, and microstructural analyses as well as an indirect machine learning-based statistical method was applied to investigate the mineralogy and the mineral chemistry of spinel subgroup minerals (SSMs) of different ultramafic rocks from the high-pressure metaophiolites of the Voltri Massif (Central Liguria, NW Italy). The study was focused on the correlation between the compositional variations of SSMs and their texture, microstructure, and the degree of serpentinization of the host rock. The SSM occurs with three main textures and microstructures linked to the progressive serpentinization and deformation of ultramafic rocks during the Alpine orogenic events: (i) Cr-spinel porphyroclasts with various degrees of recrystallization (up to magnetite porphyroblasts) within partially serpentinized peridotite and massive serpentinite; (ii) magnetite crystals associated with pseudomorphic and non-pseudomorphic serpentine textures (e.g., mesh, hourglass, ribbon, and interpenetrating textures) in partially serpentinized peridotite and massive serpentinites; and (iii) magnetite crystals re-oriented along the foliations developed in serpentine schist. The chemical composition of SSMs varies systematically within the textures and microstructures. These processes also affected the chemical composition of SSMs, the availability of Mn, Zn, Ni, and Co in solution, and their consequent incorporation in the lattice of chromian spinel due to olivine breakdown, the major repository of these elements in ultramafic rocks. At a general scale, the trace and ultratrace variability is primarily related to the petrologic and tectonic evolution but, at a local scale, also the mineralogical, lithological, structural, and textural features correlated to the degree of serpentinization and/or deformation. These significantly influence the distribution and concentration of trace and ultratrace elements in SSMs. The results of the present work were also confirmed by an innovative indirect statistical method performed through the Weka Machine Learning Workbench.
The statistical emulators of GGCMI phase 2: responses of year-to-year variation of crop yield to CO2, temperature, water, and nitrogen perturbations

Abstract. Understanding the impact of climate change on year-to-year variation of crop yield is critical to global food stability and security. While crop model emulators are believed to be lightweight tools to replace the models, few emulators have been developed to capture such interannual variation of crop yield in response to climate variability. In this study, we developed a statistical emulator with a machine learning algorithm to reproduce the response of year-to-year variation of four crop yields to CO2 (C), temperature (T), water (W), and nitrogen (N) perturbations defined in the Global Gridded Crop Model Intercomparison Project (GGCMI) phase 2. The emulators were able to explain more than 52 % of the variance of simulated yield and performed well in capturing the year-to-year variation of global average and gridded crop yield over current croplands in the baseline. With the changes in CO2–temperature–water–nitrogen (CTWN) perturbations, the emulators could reproduce the year-to-year variation of crop yield well over most current cropland. The variation of R and the mean absolute error was small under the single CTWN perturbations and dual-factor perturbations. These emulators thus provide statistical response surfaces of yield, including both its mean and interannual variability, to climate factors. They could facilitate spatiotemporal downscaling of crop model simulation, projecting the changes in crop yield variability in the future and serving as a lightweight tool for multi-model ensemble simulation. The emulators enhanced the flexibility of crop yield estimates and expanded the application of large-ensemble simulations of crop yield under climate change.
Kant, Anthropocentrism, and Animal Welfare
Authors: Wilson Holly L. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This paper will argue six reasons why Kant is an anthropocentric, but not an anthropo-supremacist. It will lay out Kant’s case against animal egalitarianism, and how Kant’s moral theory nevertheless provides sufficient obligations not to be cruel to other animal species and to care about their welfare. This paper will show how Kant’s moral theory will apply in concrete detail with one species of non-human animal, namely the dairy cow. A dairy farmer who is also motived by Kantian virtue will have enough moral incentive to care about their dairy cows even though Kant’s duties to other animal species are indirect and not direct.
The Current State and Future Outlook of the US Economy
Authors: Husain Anwar , Mark Ian 
Published: December 2023

The study examines the current state of the US economy after the interest rate increases implemented by the Federal Reserve from January 2022 to July 2023 to reduce the rise in inflation. Although the Federal Reserve has successfully reduced inflation during this time period, the thesis of this paper is that future interest rate increases would be damaging to the economy and result in a recession. The five key economic indicators reviewed to assess the current state of the economy are (1) national debt, (2) real GDP growth rate, (3) inflation, (4) interest rate yield curve, and (5) unemployment. The conclusion of the paper is that the US Federal Reserve would damage several components of the economy if interest rate increases continue into the future, and it would increase the likelihood of a recession. The benefit of continuing with this monetary policy would be to decrease inflation from 3% to the publicly stated target of 2%. However, costs associated with this would be significantly higher since it would result in an increase in the US national debt and annual budget deficit because the servicing costs of the debt would increase dramatically. This would have a major impact on the US economy and eventually lead to an economic downturn.
PENERAPAN ILMU QIRAAT DALAM KULIAH TAFSIR DI NEGERI KELANTAN: SUATU SOROTAN LITERATUR
Authors: ABD HALIM WAN ISMAIL 
Published: December 2023

Ilmu qiraat adalah satu ilmu yang bukan hanya berperanan pada aspek bacaan al-Quran tetapi ia juga memainkan peranan penting dalam pentafsiran ayat al-Quran sehingga ulama tafsir meletakkan ia sebagai salah satu syarat dalam pentafsiran al-Quran. Ini menjadi satu perkara yang amat signifikan untuk dikatakan bahawa para penyampai kuliah tafsir di masjid-masjid atau tempat awam juga perlu menerapkan ilmu qiraat dalam syarahan mereka. Namun, kajian lepas telah mencatatkan bahawa ramai dalam kalangan ilmuwan Islam di Malaysia masih menganggap bahawa ilmu qiraat tiada kaitannya dengan kefahaman al-Quran. Hal ini menjadi satu petanda bahawa penerapan ilmu tersebut tidak diambil berat oleh para pengkuliah tafsir di Malaysia. Kajian ini bertujuan mewujudkan landasan teori bagi kajian penerapan ilmu qiraat dalam kuliah tafsir di negeri Kelantan. Ia dijayakan dengan mengumpulkan kajian-kajian lepas yang berkaitan dengan penerapan ilmu qiraat dalam pentafsiran al-Quran di negeri tersebut. Kajian-kajian lepas tersebut dianalisis bagi melihat sejauh mana aspek penerapan ilmu qiraat telah diambil perhatian oleh para pengkaji. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan penganalisaan data berasaskan konsep analisis literatur. Data dan informasi diperoleh daripada sumber-sumber seperti artikel jurnal, buku, dan makalah persidangan yang relevan dengan topik penerapan ilmu qiraat dalam kuliah tafsir di negeri Kelantan. Daripada analisis literatur yang dilakukan, didapati masih belum ada kajian yang ditumpukan kepada aspek penerapan ilmu qiraat dalam kuliah tafsir di negeri Kelantan. Aspek-aspek yang disentuh oleh kajian lepas hanya melibatkan ilmu qiraat secara sebelah pihak sahaja tanpa menghubungkannya dengan tafsir al-Quran. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa aspek hubungan Ilmu qiraat dengan tafsir perlu diberikan perhatian oleh para pengkaji dan penulis kerana kepentingannya diperakui oleh ulama tafsir sendiri. Di samping itu, kajian ini menegaskan keperluan diadakan satu kajian yang menentukan tahap pengetahuan hubungan dua ilmu tersebut dalam kalangan para pengkuliah tafsir justeru menilai sejauh mana pengaplikasiannya.

Teachers’ and community stakeholders’ perceptions about school – community relations in Cyprus
Authors: Anaxagorou George 
Published: December 2023

This paper describes the findings of a comparative study of rural and urban communities in Cyprus concerning the perceptions of primary school teachers and community stakeholders as regards school–community relations. The data were collected via a semi-structured interviewing technique amongst primary school teachers and community stakeholders. The analysis of the qualitative data demonstrates that both primary teachers and community stakeholders whether in a rural or an urban area consider school– community cooperation as a positive and important factor in their respective spheres of interest. However, teachers were found to maintain a more conservative stance towards relationships with the local community, believing that their professional autonomy is threatened by interferences of community stakeholders and agents. Furthermore, there was a divergence of perceptions between rural participants and their urban counterparts as regards to the extent to which such a cooperation should take place; both teachers and community stakeholders in rural areas seemed to be more willing to extend their communication and their relations in additional fields. On the contrary, teachers and community stakeholders in urban sites seemed more conservative towards such a situation; they regard that such a cooperation and such relations should be limited. The findings come to validate similar findings reported in the limited literature in Cyprus (Georgiou, 1998; Symeou, 2002) and indicate that there is a lot of ground to be covered towards extending and improving school–community relations for the benefit of all institutions concerned.
