Madrasah service quality gap is a big challenge in Indonesia national development, especially in the comparative perspective of Java and non-Java regions. Continuous and systematic efforts have been examined to close the gap. Related to this, this study aims to look at the perceptions, comparisons, and dimensions that need to be improved in the quality of service at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) on Java and outside Java. This research uses a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory method. Each of the ten MAN on Java and outside Java is used as the object of research with a total of 3,319 samples, 1803 respondents from MAN on the island of Java and 1516 outside the island of Java. The results indicate that the perceived service quality at MAN is generally good, with an average rating of 5.64 in Java and 5.27 outside Java. The rating in Java is slightly higher than outside Java, with a statistically significant difference between the two sample groups, as shown by the t-value of 4.083 exceeding the t-table value of 1.990. Meanwhile, the dimensions of service quality that need to be improved by MAN on Java Island are assurance, while outside Java are assurance and tangible.

Inter-ethnic conflicts often occur in West Kalimantan, especially in Pontianak City, especially between Dayak, Chinese, and Malay ethnicities. Therefore, to build harmony in life between ethnicities, public spaces are needed that are accessed by various groups. Coffee shops are one of the potential public spaces to build harmony between ethnic groups. This article aims to determine the existence of coffee shops as public spaces in Kota Pontianak and the role of coffee shops as a space to build harmony in Pontianak City. This article publishes the results of research that uses qualitative approaches with phenomenological methods, data collection using interviews, observation, observation techniques, and documentation. Data analysis uses an interactive analysis model. The research found that coffee rafting in Pontianak City becomes a public space that contains democratic, responsive, and meaningful values so that people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds visit coffee shops to rest, discuss business affairs, do tasks, have meetings, and so on. People who visit coffee shops come from various ethnicities (Malay, Dayak, Chinese, Bugis, Javanese, and Madurese). Through the coffee shop, they meet to talk about various things, so that familiarity is well- built and strengthens social integration. Besides being able to build a harmonious inter-ethnic life, the existence of coffee shops can also increase the regional original income (PAD) of Pontianak City and absorb labor.

Published: July 2023

Online assessment, whether formative or summative, appears to be a problematic issue for many English as a foreign language (EFL) university teachers. Formative assessment is crucial for improving the quality of teaching and learning. Therefore, it is highly significant to recognize the possible trends of online formative assessment offered in the Algerian university context. In this regard, this paper aims at exploring the online formative assessment practices of EFL university teachers including the type of formative assessment experienced, assessment and feedback techniques, and the validity of the assessment strategies employed virtually. It further seeks to identify the challenges faced in the process. To achieve this, a qualitative approach based on exploratory and descriptive research design was adopted. An online questionnaire was administered to 16 EFL teachers from 12 Algerian universities. The findings revealed that participants employ a variety of online formative assessment strategies for various purposes. The overall practices are, to a certain degree, valid.

THE LAW OF TRANSACTIONS OF VIRTUAL LAND SALE AND PURCHASE IN METAVERSE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FIQH MU’AMALAH
Authors: Alifia Alya Nur 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT One of the modern lifestyles that is starting to spread in society is individual consumption of the Metaverse digital world. Something interesting about the Metaverse is the virtual land that owned by users can be profitable when sold, rented and invested so that users can potentially profit from price increases. In addition, Metaverse runs on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, which in turn can provide a truly free market. But behind all the tempting advantages, virtual land sale and purchase transactions still has not received legal status in Islam. Because there are still immature virtual land properties to be used as an object of sale and purchase. Likewise with the crypto used for transactions. Therefore, by using a qualitative method, the researcher discusses the law of buying and selling virtual land in the Metaverse by examining binding laws on the Fiqh Mu'amalah contained in the primary data to analyze the transaction law for virtual land buying and selling transactions in the Metaverse. The findings of this study indicate that crypto, the currency used for transactions on the Metaverse platform, does not fulfill the requirements as a currency or commodity to be traded in Islam. This is because crypto is volatile and has no supporting assets. And also regarding virtual land as an object of sale and purchase, there is an element of maysir in the transaction because the price of land depends solely on luck which is influenced by the fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies in circulation. Apart from that, virtual land in the form of NFT is also gharar because it cannot be presented in real terms. The researcher hopes that this research can become a reference for Islamic law in the discussion of Fiqh Mu'amalah. And the researcher hopes that further researchers can perfect the deficiencies contained in this discussion. Keywords : Virtual Land, Metaverse, Crypto, Sale and Purchase, Fiqh Mu’amalah
The use of ePortfolio in health profession education to demonstrate competency and enhance employability: A scoping review

Published: July 2023

The use of an ePortfolio to support the education of health and social care professionals is increasing in higher education. ePortfolios support the educational journey of students; however, it is unclear how they are used to demonstrate competency or enhance employability. The aims of this study were to explore the literature to identify the use of ePortfolios in health and social care higher education curricula to demonstrate competency or improve employability. Three electronic databases were searched to identify papers using scoping review methodology. Studies that were published between 2001 and 2019 were included. A total of 1530 articles were initially identified after duplicates were removed. Nine studies were included in the final qualitative synthesis following a robust review. Data were synthesised into themes that describe the role of ePortfolios in demonstrating competencies in higher education or improving employability they were (1) Self-Directed Learning, (2) Deeper Learning, (3) Expanding Literacies, (4) Successful Implementation. These studies highlight that ePortfolio is both a product and a process. ePortfolios support students to gather artefacts that demonstrate professional competency which can be applied in the job-seeking process. The ePortfolio development process applies social constructionist approaches to learning which support lifelong learning and enhance employability. The findings also highlight the importance of providing students with clear expectations of the role of an ePortfolio in their professional learning journey.
Efficient approximate algorithms for a class of dynamic lot size problem under product substitution
Authors: Huang Shanming , Yang Wanshuo 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Our motivation to study the production substitution between the products come from the firms’ practice. A significant issue to the firms is the effective balance of setup and substitution cost. Since the firms can adjust the operation policy to lower the setup and substitution costs or both, the operation manager would like to know how best to make the adjustment. Given this, we consider a class of dynamic lot sizing problems with one-way and two-way product substitution under durable and perishable products. According to some structural properties in an optimal solution, we devise a forward dynamic programming algorithm to work out the problem with two durable products in polynomial time, and develop an efficient approximate dynamic programming algorithm to solve the problem with multiple perishable products. Finally, on a comprehensive test bed, we gain some useful insights on the impact of substitution on the total costs. The effectiveness of the approximate algorithm is also tested.

Union Membership and Wage Gap between Public and Private Sectors: Evidence from China
Authors: MA Xinxin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
As trade unions are active in corporations worldwide, the union effects on the labor market have attracted global attention. However, empirical evidence is scarce regarding how the trade unions’ effects on the wage gaps differ between the public and private sectors. Using the six-wave national longitudinal survey data of 2010-2020, this study estimates the effects of union membership on the wage gap between public and private sectors in China. The results show that there is a positive union wage premiums in both sectors, and the effect is greater for the private sector. The union coverage differences widen the wage gap between the public and private sectors; conversely, the union wage premium difference reduces the wage gap. The results indicate that a policy expanding union coverage in the private sector may effectively reduce the wage gap between the two sectors.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

To study the origin and evolutionary process of the Martian moon Phobos, understanding its internal structure is important. In this study, we simulate the dynamic orbit and gravity field estimation using Doppler, image landmarks, and LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data based on a mission plan of Martian Moon eXploration (MMX) and investigate whether the differences in the internal density structure of Phobos can be detected through this mission. Degree 2 Stokes coefficients of the Phobos gravity field, C20 and C22, which are necessary to obtain the moment of inertia by combining with the libration amplitude, could be determined at an accuracy of the order 0.1% using datasets from two-dimensional (2D) quasi satellite orbits (QSOs). If observations from 3D QSO could be realized at low altitude, coefficients up to degree and order 5 could be estimated, which could be used to detect regional density anomalies. Moreover, the observation data from the ascending trajectory after landing on the Phobos surface can be used to detect local density anomalies around the landing site, which could help interpret the origin of the samples.
Noise in digital and digital-analog quantum computation

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Quantum computing uses quantum resources provided by the underlying quantum nature of matter to enhance classical computation. However, the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era in quantum computing is characterized by the use of quantum processors comprising from a few tens to, at most, a few hundreds of physical qubits without implementing quantum error correction techniques. This limits the scalability in the implementation of quantum algorithms. Digital-analog quantum computing (DAQC) has been proposed as a more resilient alternative quantum computing paradigm to outperform digital quantum computation within the NISQ era framework. It arises from adding the flexibility provided by fast single-qubit gates to the robustness of analog quantum simulations. Here, we perform a careful comparison between the digital and digital-analog paradigms under the presence of noise sources. The comparison is illustrated by comparing the performance of the quantum Fourier transform and quantum phase estimation algorithms under a wide range of single- and two-qubit noise sources. Indeed, we obtain that when the different noise channels usually present in superconducting quantum processors are considered, the fidelity of these algorithms for the digital-analog paradigm outperforms the one obtained for the digital approach. Additionally, this difference grows when the size of the processor scales up, making DAQC a sensible alternative paradigm in the NISQ era. Finally, we show how to adaptthe DAQC paradigm to quantum error mitigation techniques for canceling different noise sources, including the bang error.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Enhancing crop yield through the adoption of fertility and eco-system enhancing agricultural technologies is an important step towards a sustainable food production system among rural farming households in developing countries. The study was therefore conducted using cross-sectional data from smallholder farming households to assess the effect of agroforestry technology on the yield of maize in Sapoba forest reserve in Orhionmwon Local Government area of Edo State, Nigeria. We correct for endogeneity in adoption and employ instrumental variables analysis to investigate the effect of adoption of the technology on the yield of maize. Our analysis shows that the adoption of the technology had positive and significant effect on the yield of maize in the study area. This finding provides empirical evidence that the yield of maize among smallholder maize farmers can be raised through the use of agroforestry technology.

Abstract

In our industrial material defect detecting processes, the multi criteria is considered in two-level motion planning structure.Firstly, the feed speed of the end-effector should be programmed in optimal time for satisfying the requirement of high efficiency.Secondly, the planned joint velocities and accelaration are characterized by high-order derivatives to guarantee smooth motion, taking into account the kinematic constraints.Last but not least,energy consumption of the robot’s movement is a focus during designing trajectories.The Pareto optimal method is applied to solve the trajectory planning problem.The results of the experiments suggest that the Pareto approach can realize effective multi-objective optimization and deliver a group of Pareto solutions for decision makers. Based on the actual requirements, suitable Pareto-optimal trajectory can be achieved and the practical operation of the industrial robot is good

Abstract

Macrolophus pygmaeus(Rambur, 1839) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a polyphagous predator used in programs of biological control and integrated pest management as natural enemy against small arthropod pest populations, including whiteflies, thrips, spider mites and aphid. This mirid is also successfully mass reared under factitious prey for commercial purposes. In the present study we assessed and compared the voracity, weight gain and conversion efficiency in females of two populations ofM. pygmaeus, one from Portugal mainland and the other from the Azores, fed on single prey diets ofEphestia kuehniellaZeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs, orTuta absoluta(Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) eggs. We found that female’s voracity on eggs ofT. absolutawas higher than that ofE. kuehniella, presumably due to the comparative size/amount of biomass of the eggs. Translating voracity in biomass ingested, we only find a significant difference for consumption onE. kuehniellaeggs byM. pygmaeusfrom the Azores. Despite the smaller size of females from the Azores, they were able to consume more prey and ultimately reaching a similar body weight and conversion efficiency compared with females from mainland, independently of the prey provided. Our results are in line with a previous study, showing differences in the life-history traits ofM. pygmaeusfrom Portugal mainland and Azorean populations fed on alternative preys. From an applied perspective, our results are a contribution to the decision-making on the use of the most effective biocontrol agents for different preys and/or agroecosystem contexts.

Abstract
Background
HIV prevention remains a global priority, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Our research team previously developed an evidence-based peer group program for HIV prevention called Mzake ndi Mzake (Friend to Friend). A community-engaged collaboration adapted the program for community ownership and implementation. Here we report whether this HIV prevention program, implemented by community volunteers, increased condom use among sexually active individuals in rural Malawi.
Methods
Three communities sequentially rolled out the program. Effectiveness was evaluated using repeated surveys. At Time 1, no community had offered the intervention. At Time 2, the first community had offered the intervention and two had not (control group). At Time 3, two communities had offered the intervention and one had not (control group). We used two condom use indicators; condom use frequency in the last 2 months (N = 776) and condom use at last sex (N = 880). For each indicator, the sample included all sexually active persons answering that question at one or more time points. Regression analyses were used to model the two condom indicators over time, controlling for demographic factors, UNAIDS HIV knowledge, safer sex self-efficacy and partner communication.
Results
This peer group intervention implemented by trained community volunteers increased both condom use indicators at Times 2 and 3. In the final regression models. Other predictors of greater condom use for at least one condom use indicator included younger age group (13–19), male gender, not married/cohabiting, high involvement in religiously affiliated activities, higher safer sex self-efficacy, and greater partner communication. Although the intervention increased UNAIDS HIV knowledge, knowledge did not predict condom use.
Conclusions
This community engaged implementation study found that an evidence-based peer group program for HIV prevention increased condom use when delivered by trained community volunteers. Leveraging community strengths and human capital resources facilitated implementation of this effective HIV prevention program in rural Malawi. Community ownership and program delivery by trained local volunteers offers an innovative and cost-effective strategy to address ongoing HIV prevention needs without overburdening heathcare systems in sub-
