Larangan Marlojong (Kawin Lari) Pada Masyarakat Hukum Adat Mandailing
Creators: name: Nasution, Raudhatul Husna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Dalam masyarakat Mandailing, perkawinan adalah momen sakral yang melibatkan norma adat dan nilai agama. Namun, praktik kawin lari (marlojong) sering muncul ketika pasangan menikah tanpa restu orang tua, biasanya karena penolakan atau ketidakmampuan memenuhi mahar. Kawin lari terbagi menjadi dua kategori: kawin lari bersama dan perkawinan bawa lari, yang meskipun tidak disetujui, tetap menjadi bagian dari adat. Masyarakat Mandailing memiliki prinsip hukum yang kuat, dikenal sebagai "surat tumbaga holing," yang mengatur perilaku dalam perkawinan. Untuk mengatasi masalah kawin lari, perlu ada solusi, di antaranya: edukasi mengenai hukum adat dan konsekuensi kawin lari sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kesadaran, penguatan lembaga adat diperlukan untuk mediasi dan penyelesaian sengketa, layanan mediasi dan konseling dapat membantu pasangan menghadapi masalah, penegakan sanksi yang jelas dan program pemberdayaan ekonomi akan mengurangi tekanan yang mendorong praktik ini, serta pendekatan yang menghormati tradisi dan nilai budaya mampu membuat masyarakat Mandailing menemukan solusi yang lebih baik dan menjaga keharmonisan dalam kehidupan berkeluarga.

description: Image motion blur results from a combination of object motions and camera shakes, and such blurring effect is generally directional and non-uniform. Previous research attempted to solve non-uniform blurs using self-recurrent multiscale, multi-patch, or multi-temporal architectures with self-attention to obtain decent results. However, using self-recurrent frameworks typically lead to a longer inference time, while inter-pixel or inter-channel self-attention may cause excessive memory usage. This paper proposes a Blur-aware Attention Network (BANet), that accomplishes accurate and efficient deblurring via a single forward pass. Our BANet utilizes region-based self-attention with multi-kernel strip pooling to disentangle blur patterns of different magnitudes and orientations and cascaded parallel dilated convolution to aggregate multi-scale content features. Extensive experimental results on the GoPro and RealBlur benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed BANet performs favorably against the state-of-the-arts in blurred image restoration and can provide deblurred results in real-time.

description: We study the Olsen model for the peroxidase-oxidase reaction. The dynamics is analyzed using a geometric decomposition based upon multiple time scales. The Olsen model is four-dimensional, not in a standard form required by geometric singular perturbation theory and contains multiple small parameters. These three obstacles are the main challenges we resolve by our analysis. Scaling and the blow-up method are used to identify several subsystems. The results presented here provide a rigorous analysis for two oscillatory modes. In particular, we prove the existence of non-classical relaxation oscillations in two cases. The analysis is based upon desingularization of lines of transcritical and submanifolds of fold singularities in combination with an integrable relaxation phase. In this context our analysis also explains an assumption that has been utilized, based purely on numerical reasoning, in a previous bifurcation analysis by Desroches, Krauskopf and Osinga [{Discret.}{Contin.}{Dyn.}{Syst.}S, 2(4), p.807--827, 2009]. Furthermore, the geometric decomposition we develop forms the basis to prove the existence of mixed-mode and chaotic oscillations in the Olsen model, which will be discussed in more detail in future work.

description: The Citation File Format (CFF) lets researchers and RSEs provide correct and complete citation metadata for the software they develop and maintain. The format is supported in different ways by tools and platforms such as GitHub, Zenodo, reference managers and IDEs. Currently, there are over 16,000 CITATION.cff files on GitHub alone, and the generated recommended citation information has been viewed over 1.2 million times. This talk provides an overview of the format itself, the tools that are available to work with CFF, and its above-mentioned integrations. It also gives an insight of the CFF project as an open project, the implementation of governance and funding. And finally, it presents a first look at how the format is used in real life, based on the analysis of a corpus of over 12,000 CFF files: what are the challenges, what works well, what should change.

description: We theoretically study the collective excitation modes of a topological laser device operating in a single-mode steady-state with monochromatic emission. We consider a model device based on a two-dimensional photonic Harper-Hofstadter lattice including a broadband gain medium localized on the system edge. Different regimes are considered as a function of the value of the optical nonlinearity and of the gain relaxation time. The dispersion of the excitation modes is calculated via a full two-dimensional Bogoliubov approach and physically interpreted in terms of an effective one-dimensional theory. Depending on the system parameters, various possible physical processes leading to dynamical instabilities are identified and characterized. On this basis, strategies to enforce a stable single-mode topological laser operation are finally pointed out.

description: The filtering problem of causally estimating a desired signal from a related observation signal is investigated through the lens of regret optimization. Classical filter designs, such as $\mathcal H_2$ (Kalman) and $\mathcal H_\infty$, minimize the average and worst-case estimation errors, respectively. As a result $\mathcal H_2$ filters are sensitive to inaccuracies in the underlying statistical model, and $\mathcal H_\infty$ filters are overly conservative since they safeguard against the worst-case scenario. We propose instead to minimize the \emph{regret} in order to design filters that perform well in different noise regimes by comparing their performance with that of a clairvoyant filter. More explicitly, we minimize the largest deviation of the squared estimation error of a causal filter from that of a non-causal filter that has access to future observations. In this sense, the regret-optimal filter will have the best competitive performance with respect to the non-causal benchmark filter no matter what the true signal and the observation process are. For the important case of signals that can be described with a time-invariant state-space, we provide an explicit construction for the regret optimal filter in the estimation (causal) and the prediction (strictly-causal) regimes. These solutions are obtained by reducing the regret filtering problem to a Nehari problem, i.e., approximating a non-causal operator by a causal one in spectral norm. The regret-optimal filters bear some resemblance to Kalman and $H_\infty$ filters: they are expressed as state-space models, inherit the finite dimension of the original state-space, and their solutions require solving algebraic Riccati equations. Numerical simulations demonstrate that regret minimization inherently interpolates between the performances of the $H_2$ and $H_\infty$ filters and is thus a viable approach for filter design.

Raising the Higgs Mass in Supersymmetry with t-t' Mixing

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this article we propose a new strategy to address the Little Hierarchy problem. We show that the addition of a fourth generation with vector-like quarks to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) can raise the predicted value of the physical Higgs mass by mixing with the top sector. The mixing requires a larger top quark Yukawa coupling (by up to $\sim 6 %$) to produce the same top mass. Since loop corrections to $m_h$ go as $y_{top}^4$, this will in turn increase the predicted value of the physical Higgs mass, a point not previously emphasized in the literature. In the presence of mixing, for A-terms and soft masses around 900 GeV, a Higgs mass of 125 GeV can be generated while retaining perturbativity of the gauge couplings, evading constraints from electroweak precision measurements (EWPM) and recent LHC searches, and pushing the Landau pole for the top Yukawa above the GUT scale. Soft masses can be as low as 800 GeV in parts of parameter space with a Landau pole at $\sim 10^{10}$ GeV. However, the Landau pole can still be pushed above the GUT scale if one sacrifices perturbative unification by adding fields in a $\mathbf{5}$+$\mathbf{\bar{5}}$ representation. With a ratio of weak-scale vector masses $\neq 1$, soft masses may be slightly below $800$ GeV. The model predicts new quarks and squarks with masses $\gtrapprox 750$ GeV. We briefly discuss potential paths for discovery or exclusion at the LHC.

description: ARM TrustZone is widely deployed on commercial-off-the-shelf mobile devices for secure execution. However, many Apps cannot enjoy this feature because it brings many constraints to App developers. Previous works have been proposed to build a secure execution environment for developers on top of TrustZone. Unfortunately, these works are still not fully-fledged solutions for mobile Apps, especially for emerging intelligent Apps. To this end, we propose LEAP, which is a lightweight developer-friendly TEE solution for mobile Apps. LEAP enables isolated codes to execute in parallel and access peripheral (e.g., mobile GPUs) with ease, flexibly manages system resources upon different workloads, and offers the auto DevOps tool to help developers prepare the codes running on it. We implement the LEAP prototype on the off-the-shelf ARM platform and conduct extensive experiments on it. The experimental results show that Apps can be adapted to run with LEAP easily and efficiently. Compared to the state-of-the-art work along this research line, LEAP can achieve an average 3.57x speedup in supporting intelligent Apps using mobile GPU acceleration.

description: This document is a project description of the Egg Harbor Township Community Visioning Project, which is part of the Pinelands Excellence Program that was developed to create livable communities embodying 'smart growth' principles. In 2002, the Pinelands Commission received funding for a 2-year project in response to the need for attention to community design and growing pressure to open up other areas of the Pinelands to satisfy unmet housing demands. The project, which focused on two fast-growing Pinelands communities (the Townships of Hamilton and Winslow), marked the start of the Pinelands Excellence Program. In January, 2005, the Commission received more funding for the Pinelands Excellence Program. Building on the initial experience with Hamilton's and Winslow's Livable Community Action Plans, the current Egg Harbor Township Community Visioning Project aims at refining, expanding, and applying a range of community design tools. The Project description outlines the preliminary project schedule for the Egg Harbor Township effort.

description: It is well known that quantum effects can produce negative energy densities, though for limited times. Here we show in the context of two-dimensional CFT that such negative energy densities are present in any non-trivial conformal vacuum and can be interpreted in terms of the entanglement structure of such states. We derive an exact identity relating the outgoing energy flux and the entanglement entropy in the in-vacuum. When applied to two-dimensional models of black hole evaporation, this identity implies that unitarity is incompatible with monotonic mass loss.

description: Face masks have been widely used as a protective measure against COVID-19. However, pre-pandemic empirical studies have produced mixed statistical results on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses. The implications of the studies' recognized limitations have not been quantitatively and statistically analyzed, leading to confusion regarding the effectiveness of masks. Such confusion may have contributed to organizations such as the WHO and CDC initially not recommending that the general public wear masks. Here we show that when the adherence to mask-usage guidelines is taken into account, the empirical evidence indicates that masks prevent disease transmission: all studies we analyzed that did not find surgical masks to be effective were under-powered to such an extent that even if masks were 100% effective, the studies in question would still have been unlikely to find a statistically significant effect. We also provide a framework for understanding the effect of masks on the probability of infection for single and repeated exposures. The framework demonstrates that more frequently wearing a mask provides super-linearly compounding protection, as does both the susceptible and infected individual wearing a mask. This work shows (1) that both theoretical and empirical evidence is consistent with masks protecting against respiratory infections and (2) that nonlinear effects and statistical considerations regarding the percentage of exposures for which masks are worn must be taken into account when designing empirical studies and interpreting their results.

description: There has been growth in managing supply chain processes for enhancing both economic and environmental benefits. Consequently, new dimensions in the supply chain have been added, with one of them being reverse logistics. Reverse logistics deals with the backward flow of goods which help firms to recover and reinstate discarded products, helping firms to realise their economic and environmental initiatives. Reverse logistics has now become a matter of strategic importance, helping to bring sustainable competitive advantage to the firm. This study recognises the inclination of the current research in reverse logistics to focus on larger firms. Hence, this research explores how smaller businesses, specifically micro enterprises, pursue reverse logistics to understand the related capabilities they have, and also to understand the way they address/perceive the related costs; this has the potential to contribute towards the development of the reverse logistics concept in micro firms. The two theoretical lenses of Resource Based View and Transaction Cost Economics are employed, both of which have the potential to explain the capabilities and the cost situation, respectively. An exploratory case study methodology is employed, and research is made on six micro retail firms. A semi-structured interview is used as the primary data collection method, supported by participant observation. The findings indicate that micro businesses may not possess all the relevant capabilities but pursue reverse logistics in their own unique way which, however, needs further development and refinement. The findings also suggest that micro businesses have developed the capabilities for reverse logistics, they however are not aware of all the benefits they can achieve through this capability. The findings also show that various cost facets prevail in the reverse logistics cost situation of the studied businesses. Not having a clear understanding of the various cost situation has again prohibited these businesses from making an optimal cost decision. This thesis realises the need to study the related capabilities and costs in the micro business context. As being small and resource constrained in nature, a phenomenon like reverse logistics – which is resource intense – can be a challenging aspect to pursue for these businesses. The study contributes to knowledge in both the reverse logistics and micro business research fields, by recognising key gaps within the related combined literature, critiquing current theory, and developing new and unique theoretical perspectives.

A scaling hypothesis for projected entangled-pair states

description: We introduce a new paradigm for scaling simulations with projected entangled-pair states (PEPS) for critical strongly-correlated systems, allowing for reliable extrapolations of PEPS data with relatively small bond dimensions $D$. The key ingredient consists of using the effective correlation length $χ$ for inducing a collapse of data points, $f(D,χ)=f(ξ(D,χ))$, for arbitrary values of $D$ and the environment bond dimension $χ$. As such we circumvent the need for extrapolations in $χ$ and can use many distinct data points for a fixed value of $D$. Here, we need that the PEPS has been optimized using a fixed-$χ$ gradient method, which can be achieved using a novel tensor-network algorithm for finding fixed points of 2-D transfer matrices, or by using the formalism of backwards differentiation. We test our hypothesis on the critical 3-D dimer model, the 3-D classical Ising model, and the 2-D quantum Heisenberg model.
Reduced-order Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation and the consistency of classical electromagnetism

description: It is widely believed that classical electromagnetism is either unphysical or inconsistent, owing to pathological behavior when self-force and radiation reaction are non-negligible. We argue that there is no inconsistency as long as it is recognized that certain types of charge distribution are simply impossible, such as, for example, a point particle with finite charge and finite inertia. This is owing to the fact that negative inertial mass is an unphysical concept in classical physics. It remains useful to obtain an equation of motion for small charged objects that describes their motion to good approximation without requiring knowledge of the charge distribution within the object. We give a simple method to achieve this, leading to a reduced-order form of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation, essentially as proposed by Eliezer, Landau and Lifshitz, and derived by Ford and O'Connell.

description: In this paper we introduce OperA, a transformer-based model that accurately predicts surgical phases from long video sequences. A novel attention regularization loss encourages the model to focus on high-quality frames during training. Moreover, the attention weights are utilized to identify characteristic high attention frames for each surgical phase, which could further be used for surgery summarization. OperA is thoroughly evaluated on two datasets of laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos, outperforming various state-of-the-art temporal refinement approaches.

description: Quasiholes in certain fractional quantum Hall states are promising candidates for the experimental realization of non-Abelian anyons. They are assumed to be localized excitations, and to display non-Abelian statistics when sufficiently separated, but these properties have not been explicitly demonstrated except for the Moore-Read state. In this work, we apply the newly developed matrix product state technique to examine these exotic excitations. For the Moore-Read and the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Read-Rezayi states, we estimate the quasihole radii, and determine the correlation lengths associated with the exponential convergence of the braiding statistics. We provide the first microscopic verification for the Fibonacci nature of the $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Read-Rezayi quasiholes. We also present evidence for the failure of plasma screening in the non-unitary Gaffnian wave function.

description: Dissipative soliton Kerr frequency combs in microresonators have recently been demonstrated with the self-injection locking process. They have the advantage of turnkey deterministic comb generation and simplifying dark soliton generation in the normal dispersion regime. Here, the formation process of dark pulses triggered by self-injection locking is studied by regarding them as a pair of domain walls that connect domains having different intracavity powers. The self-injection locking mechanism allows the domain walls to self-regulate their position so that a wide range of dark comb states can be accessed, and the duty cycle is controlled by the feedback phase. Direct imaging of the dark pulse shape using the electro-optic sampling technique is used to verify the theory. The results provide new physical insights as well as a new operational modality for this important class of nonlinear waves.

description: The water quality data presented in this Reappraisal of Shellfish Growing Area SE-4; Corsons Sound to Ludlam Bay, was collected between October 1996 and September 2000 using the Systematic Random Sampling (SRS) strategy. The SRS strategy needs 30 water samples for each sampling station. The water quality of this shellfish growing area was good, and the current shellfish classification of this shellfish growing area (Approved, Seasonally Approved (November-April), Special Restricted, and Prohibited) meets the water quality standards as specified by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) concerning water quality and shellfish growing water classification criteria (USPHS, 1999 Revision). No classification change is recommended for this shellfish growing area at this time.

description: A large number of processes in the mesoscopic world occur out of equilibrium, where the time course of a system evolution becomes immensely important since it is driven principally by dissipative effects. Non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) represent a crucial category in such systems, where relaxation timescales are comparable to the operational timescales. In this study, we employ a model NESS stochastic system which comprises of a colloidal microparticle, optically trapped in a viscous fluid, externally driven by a temporally correlated noise, and show that time-integrated observables such as the entropic current, the work done on the system or the work dissipated by it, follow the three Levy arcsine laws [1], in the large time limit. We discover that cumulative distributions converge faster to arcsine distributions when it is near equilibrium and the rate of entropy production is small, because in that case the entropic current has weaker temporal autocorrelation. We study this phenomenon changing the strength of the added noise or by perturbing our system with a flow field produced by a microbubble at close proximity to the trapped particle. We confirm our experimental findings with theoretical simulations of the systems. Our work provides an interesting insight into the NESS statistics of the meso-regime, where stochastic fluctuations play a pivotal role.
