The Korean Wave, also known as Hallyu, is a phenomenon of globalization of South Korean culture that has influenced many aspects of life in various countries. Indonesia is a country affected by the Korean Wave due to globalization through the media. This paper aims to analyze the impacts of four detailed movie-related Korean Wave variables (visual, vocal, celebrity, and language) on intention to visit South Korea, with country image as a mediating variable. The research sample consisted of 302 fans and non-fans of the Korean Wave who either experienced or were interested in Korean Wave cultural contents. Data were collected from September to October 2023. The results were analyzed using the Partial Least Squared Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The results confirm that four Korean Wave traits positively affect Indonesian tourists’ desire to travel to Korea. Improving the movie quality, including visuals, voice, celebrity, and language, might motivate Indonesian tourists to visit Korea. Likewise, the country’s image is positively and significantly influenced by each of the four Korean Wave variables. The findings were statistically significant at 5% significance level. Moreover, the study discovered that the perception of the country considerably affected the desire to travel and served as a go-between for the effects of film visuals, celebrity presence, and language on the decision to visit.

Research aims: This study investigates auditing educators’ (AE) behavior in switching to accounting standard acceptance's fault lines and achieving task performance due to role conflicts and proactive personalities. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research used a 2X2 matrix to categorize role conflict (high vs. low) and proactive personality (transform vs. confront). Then, the data were processed using the ANOVA difference test. Research findings: This study uncovered that AEs with high-role conflict and confront-proactive personalities intend to switch to another group. This research firstly intersects the constructive factors of the role conflict’s level and proactive personalities to explain the AEs’ switching intentions and performance achievement behavior. It also indicates that role conflict could affect AEs’ switching intentions and whether proactive personalities occupy the group memberships. Secondly, this study considers whether the broaden-and-build theory can explain the combination of (high-low) role conflict and (confront-transform) proactive characters. Finally, it describes different AE behaviors when switching intention and achieving the desired task performance. Thirdly, the authors revealed the AEs’ behavior in setting an accounting standard acceptance fault line, an open group that AEs choose due to personal goals. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research contributes to the two conceptual contents of role conflict and proactive personalities and accounts for the broaden-and-build theory. Therefore, the fault lines’ members would maintain their membership in a group with positive emotions. Practitioner/Policy Implications: This research implies that group development should include shared emotional values as an antecedent factor for group cohesiveness. Research limitation: The limitation of this study is that the members of the matrix design fault lines did not consider regulations to limit their behavior.

Abstract Background Studies have attributed 50% of infertility cases to male infertility, 15% of which is caused by idiopathic genetic factors. Currently, no specific biomarkers have been revealed for male infertility. Furthermore, research on genetic factors causing male infertility is still limited. As with other multifactorial genetic disorders, numerous risk loci for male infertility have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), although their clinical significance remains uncertain. Therefore, we utilized an integrative bioinformatics-based approach to identify biomarkers for male infertility. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using Open Targets Platform, DisGeNet, and GWAS Catalog. After that, the STRING database and the Cytoscape program were used to analyze protein–protein interaction. CytoHubba was used to determine the most significant gene candidates. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were used to assess biological functions that correspond to the male infertility disease pathway. Results We identified 305 genes associated with male infertility and highlighted 10 biological risk genes as potential biomarkers for male infertility such as TEX11, SPO11, SYCP3, HORMAD1, STAG3, MSH4, SYCP2, SYCE1, RAD21L1, and AMH. Of all the genes, we took the top three genes, namely, TEX11, SPO11, and SYCP3 as the genes that have the most potential as biomarkers. Conclusions TEX11, SPO11, and SYCP3 are involved in meiosis and spermatogenesis. We propose that further research in regarding these genes in detecting male infertility.

This study empirically examines the impact of price-savings orientation on utilitarian and hedonic app browsing, as well as the influence of utilitarian app browsing, hedonic app browsing, and social influence on consumer persuasion within the Indonesian online meal delivery app context. Primary data was collected through online questionnaires distributed via Google Forms, utilising purposive sampling criteria explicitly targeting users who had conducted transactions on these platforms. The analysis employed the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with Smart PLS software, revealing significant findings. Price-savings orientation positively affected utilitarian and hedonic app browsing, while utilitarian app browsing and social influence significantly influenced consumer persuasion. Implications suggest that future online meal delivery platform development and marketing should prioritise pricing and social influence. Subsequent research should extend this framework to other digital-based business sectors, focusing on a more diverse range of productive-age respondents.

Profitability denotes a company's capacity to generate earnings within a specified timeframe. Companies that thrive and exhibit profitability are perceived as successful and typically garner favour among shareholders. This study examines profitability in the context of a company's ability to generate earnings within a specified timeframe, which is crucial for shareholder favour and business success. It focuses on the banking sector in Indonesia, encompassing 33 listed entities, with eight selected for the research sample. Employing hypothesis testing and analytical techniques, the study finds that asymmetric information and fluctuations in profitability do not affect credit pricing. Instead, credit risk positively impacts credit pricing, along with positive contributions from asymmetric information and profitability. This suggests that profitability does not hinder creditworthiness improvements. Asymmetric information does not affect credit pricing, making selling bank loans risky. Further research on credit pricing at a larger scale is warranted.

Vape use is increasing among the youth and there is a catchphrase that vape is the solution to conventional tobacco smoking. Some case reports show the impact of vape use in the form of lung injury. However, there are no studies that definitively determine how many cases and what kind of problems in the lungs and airways can be caused by the use of vape and this is the purpose of our research. This systematic review article used several databases with the keywords "Vape OR E-cigarette" and "Disease." We screened and eliminated articles based on the PEOS framework. The included articles were analyzed for risk of bias using the JBI critical appraisal tool. A total of 16 articles were included and involved 313 patients in this review. Several case reports show the incidence of pulmonary infections in vape users, lung damage (EVALI), respiratory failure, burning throat, and various other events associated with vape use. The duration of vape use also varies before the appearance of the disease and the earliest use duration is six months and the longest is up to years. Vape use poses a risk of lung and airway disease and requires further study to accurately determine the degree of risk of the impact of vape use on lung and airway health. In conclusion, vape circulation vigilance needs to be considered because the impacts can cause health issues and interfere with the achievement of health goals for all.

Audit businesses encourage their auditors to conduct remote audits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, auditors from small audit firms exchange their skills, viewpoints, and experiences through internet forums. The purpose of this study is to investigate how auditors’ knowledge-sharing activities through a social media community based on the reciprocity standard can prevent stress caused by work stressors, which affect their job satisfaction. The relationship between knowledge-sharing activities, work stressors, and job satisfaction was examined using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method. This survey includes 151 auditors from 27 Indonesian small audit firms. The findings revealed that active involvement in knowledge sharing activities through social media groups boosts auditor motivation by raising good feelings when confronted with work conflict (β = 0.334, p < 0.001) and lowering negative emotions when confronted with work ambiguity (β = –0.407, p < 0.001) and work overload (β = –0.372, p < 0.001). However, only minimizing the negative feelings of work ambiguity (β = –0.331, p < 0.001) and work overload (β = –0.277, p < 0.001) can improve job satisfaction. Furthermore, work ambiguity (β = 0.135, p < 0.001) and overload (β = 0.103, p < 0.01) totally mediate the association between knowledge–sharing activities and auditor job satisfaction. Auditors set the norm for social media reciprocity by sharing their knowledge and expertise with others. As a result, the auditor can reduce negative emotions when facing hindrance stressors, thereby increasing job satisfaction. AcknowledgmentThis research was sponsored by Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan (LPDP).

Spar-type floating offshore wind turbine has been massively developed considering its design simplicity and stability to withstand the wave-induced motion. However, the variation of the local sea level and the readiness of supporting production facilities demand the spar design to adapt in a viable way. Considering this, the present article investigated how the slenderness (length over diameter ratio) and the roundness of cross section influence the hydrodynamic characteristics, which are the crucial parameters of floater performances. The OC3-Hywind spar-type floating platform was adapted as the reference model. The length of the reference floater was then varied with a ratio of 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 and the diameter was proportionally scaled to obtain constant buoyancy. The number of the sides which indicated the roundness of the cross section was varied to be 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and infinity (cylindrical shape). The analysis was conducted using potential flow theory in a boundary element method solver through an open-source code NEMOH. Initially, panel convergence was conducted and compared with the experimental results of the reference model to obtain the appropriate simulation settings before being used for the case configuration analysis. Results stated that the roundness effect with sides greater than 16 had little effect on dynamic characteristics. Meanwhile, the spar with the largest diameter was more stable against the translational motion.

BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune condition characterized by persistent, chronic inflammation that damages organ tissue. One of the symptoms that is often found in SLE is cognitive dysfunction. Hydroxychloroquine is recommended for the treatment of all levels of SLE. This study was conducted to prove the influence of hydroxychloroquine on improving cognitive function and inflammatory biomarkers compared to standard therapy. METHODS: The study adopted randomized controlled trial (RCT) in SLE patients with cognitive dysfunction who met the inclusion criteria. The treatment group consisted of 26 subjects who received hydroxychloroquine 200 mg/day for 8 weeks and standard therapy, while the control group consisted of 29 subjects who were given standard therapy only. Examination of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-INA, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-4, interferon (IFN)-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP) scores was carried out at the beginning and the end of the study. The unpaired variables were examined with independent T-test or the Mann-Whitney test, while the paired variables were examined with paired T-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. The Spearman correlation test was used to measure correlation between variables. RESULTS: A total of 55 subjects participated and completed the study. The result showed a significant relationship between hydroxychloroquine and decreasing levels of IL-6 and IL-4 (p0.05) in both groups. CONCLUSION: Hydroxychloroquine decreases the levels of IL-6 and IL-4, but has no effect on cognitive function, levels of IFN-α and CRP. KEYWORDS: hydroxychloroquine, systemic lupus erythematosus, cognitive dysfunction, inflammation

Youth unemployment is a contemporary socioeconomic problem in many countries. Although it is a negative phenomenon, this number can be translated into different perspectives as it offers plenty of available job force not only in terms of age and easily adaptable workers but also opportunities for low-wage workers. Unfortunately, despite having a high Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and economic growth rate, Indonesia still suffers from the youth unemployment problem. The research observed a relationship between youth unemployment and FDI in the case of Indonesia from 1991 until 2019. Because of a different situation faced by female and male workers, the research also extended the impact of FDI into gender-specific effects. Data were from World Development Indicator (WDI) in 1991-2019. The short- and long-run situations were analyzed using the Auto-Regressive-Distribution-Lag (ARDL) technique. Based on the findings, it is found that in the short run, FDI can increase youth unemployment in Indonesia. This situation can be due to the reallocation industry, which requires workers’ adjustment. However, in the long run, FDI significantly reduces youth unemployment. Therefore, it concludes that FDI in Indonesia can provide employment opportunities for young people. Next, FDI is found to have a negative and significant effect on female youth unemployment. Meanwhile, there is no significant effect found in male youth unemployment.

Vape fans claim that vaping is the solution to smoking cessation, but this is still debatable. Even if vape is still considered new, numerous studies show that vaping is associated with lung injury (EVALI). Despite this, the trend of vaping is still increasing. This study aimed to review the current understanding of conventional smoking and vaping and compare both. Is vaping safer than smoking? Smoking has health risks for lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke, and others, while vaping has been linked with EVALI. Local perfusions were decreased in tobacco smokers after exposure. However, perfusion increased in vaping after exposure. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in vape users showed an increase of vitamin E acetate, possibly causing impairment in lung structure and functionality of surfactant. This is the potential mechanism of EVALI in vape users. Smoking uses the Brinkman Index to determine the severity of smoking, but there is no index for vaping because it depends not on how many sticks but on how many e-liquids were used. It seems that vape is “safer” than smoking, but smoking and vaping both have their own health risks, and it is safe to assume that neither is safe for use. “Vape is the solution for smoking cessation” needs further research because it takes years to understand conventional smoking in relation to other diseases. Prospective follow-up studies to determine the risk of vaping on other diseases are needed in the future.

Understanding soil characteristics is important to determine the alternative strategies of land management, particularly those related to the scheme of soil and water conservation. This study investigated soil characteristics from four land covers around the coal mining concession area located in South Kalimantan. A soil survey was conducted using a purposive sampling method with three replicates in each land cover. Soil samples that were taken at depths of 0-10 cm, 11-20 cm, and 21-30 cm, were composited before being brought to the laboratory to quantify their characteristics, such as texture and organic carbon content. Data analysis was processed using a non-parametric test with a significant level of 5%. Comparison average of soil characteristics between land covers was evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis test and followed by Nemenyi-test. Results found that soil characteristics from four land covers significantly differed in texture and organic carbon content. The highest sand fraction was noted in shrubs (67.23±0.86%), while the greatest silt fraction was recorded in plantation forests (29.71±2.84%). Compared to other land covers, the clay content in plantation forests and reclamation area was relatively equal by around 53-54%. On another side, The highest soil organic carbon was found in plantation forests with ranging of (4.44±0.14%) followed by natural forests (4.24±0.62%), shrubs (3.38±0.09%), and reclamation area (1.14±0.09%). These findings indicated there were high variations of soil characteristics from different land covers around the coal mining concession area. Therefore, it is recommended for managers to apply adaptive strategies in supporting soil conservation efforts based on the soil characteristics in each site.

Background: Neuropsychiatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (NPSLE) is a condition that impacts the patients’ brain with SLE, and cognitive dysfunction (CD) is the most common manifestation. Subsequently, the CD hurts the life quality of SLE patients and creates impaired social function. Furthermore, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-INA) is a screening instrument to evaluate cognitive function. In the context of lupus, cytokines, and autoantibodies act as biomarkers in SLE disease control activities. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between disease activity, IFN-a, IL-4, IL-6 and Anti-NMDA on CD (MoCA-INA Score) in SLE patients with CD. Methods: This analytical observational study was performed with a cross-sectional design and included a sample of 56 SLE patients. The independent variables were the degree of the disease activity, and levels of IFN-a, IL-4, IL-6, and anti-NMDA. The dependent variable consisted of the degree of CD (MoCA-INA score), while the confounding variables were age, DM, gender, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Subsequently, the CD was described as a MoCA-INA score

Many improved versions of k-nearest neighbor (KNN) have been proposed by minimizing total distances of multi k nearest neighbors (multi-voter) in each class instead of the majority voting, such as a local mean-based pseudo nearest neighbor (LMPNN) that give a better decision. In this paper, a new KNN variant called multi-voter multi-commission nearest neighbor (MVMCNN) is proposed to examine its benefits in enhancing the LMPNN. As the name suggests, MVMCNN uses some commissions: each calculates the total distance between the given query point (test pattern) and k pseudo nearest neighbors using the LMPNN scheme. The decision class is defined by minimizing those total distances. Hence, the decision in MVMCNN is obtained more locally than LMPNN. Examination based on 10-fold cross-validation shows that the proposed multi-commission scheme can enhance the original (single-commission) LMPNN. Compared with two single-voter models: KNN and Bonferroni Mean Fuzzy k-Nearest Neighbors (BM-FKNN), the proposed MVMCNN also gives lower mean error rates as well as higher Precision, Recall, and F1 Score, indicating that the multi-voter model provides a better decision than the single-voter ones.

Convergence as a model of newspaper mediamorphosis has been carried out since 1995 or a year after the internet entered Indonesia. Bisnis Indonesia started its convergence by launching Bisnis.com in 2006. This study aims to find out the dynamics faced by Bisnis Indonesia in maintaining the firewall, which is the ethics of journalism in commercialization. This is related to media convergence that tends to strengthen the capitalist character of the media. The research method was carried out with a qualitative approach, where the data collection technique was triangulation. The researchers interviewed ten informants from the management and two from customers using the purposive sampling technique. Internal informants range from the president director, editor-in-chief, and reporters. This study finds that convergence can be a solution for Bisnis Indonesia to get out of circulation problems and find revenue to continue their media business. However, it becomes a challenge to maintain the independence of the newsroom.

A phonemicization or grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (G2P) is a process of converting a word into its pronunciation. It is one of the essential components in speech synthesis, speech recognition, and natural language processing. The deep learning (DL)-based state-of-the-art G2P model generally gives low phoneme error rate (PER) as well as word error rate (WER) for high-resource languages, such as English and European, but not for low-resource languages. Therefore, some conventional machine learning (ML)-based G2P models incorporated with specific linguistic knowledge are preferable for low-resource languages. However, these models are poor for several low-resource languages because of various issues. For instance, an Indonesian G2P model works well for roots but gives a high PER for derivatives. Most errors come from the ambiguities of some roots and derivative words containing four prefixes: 〈ber〉, 〈meng〉, 〈peng〉, and 〈ter〉. In this research, an Indonesian G2P model based on n-gram combined with stemmer and phonotactic rules (NGTSP) is proposed to solve those problems. An investigation based on 5-fold cross-validation, using 50 k Indonesian words, informs that the proposed NGTSP gives a much lower PER of 0.78% than the state-of-the-art Transformer-based G2P model (1.14%). Besides, it also provides a much faster processing time.

This study assesses the status of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among coronavirus survivors living in rural and urban districts in Riau province, Indonesia. The cross-sectional study was conducted among 468 and 285 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) survivors living in rural and urban areas, respectively in August 2021. The St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to measure the HRQOL of COVID-19 survivors. A higher total score domain corresponds to worse quality of life status. Quantile regression with the respect to 50th percentile found a significant association for the factors living in rural areas, being female, having comorbidities, and being hospitalized during treatment, with total score of 4.77, 2.43, 7.22, and 21.27 higher than in their contra parts, respectively. Moreover, having received full vaccination had the score 3.96 in total score. The HRQOL of COVID-19 survivors living in rural areas was significantly lower than in urban areas. Factors such as living in rural areas, female sex, having comorbidities, and history of symptomatic COVID-19 infection were identified as significant predictors for lower quality of life. Meanwhile, having full vaccination is a significant predictor for a better quality of life. The results of this study can provide the targeted recommendations for improvement of HRQOL of COVID-19 survivors.

Glaucoma is an eye disease that can cause irreversible blindness to people if not treated properly. Although deep learning models have shown that they can provide good results in identifying diseases from medical imagery, they suffer from the vulnerability of adversarial attacks, making them perform poorly. Several techniques can be applied to improve defense against such attacks. One of which is adversarial training (AT) which trains a deep learning model using the input's gradient used to generate noises to the input image and Deep k-Nearest Neighbor (DkNN) that enforces prediction's conformity based on nearest neighbor voting on each layer's representation. This work tries to improve the defense against adversarial attacks by combining AT and DkNN. The evaluation performed on several adversarial attacks show that given an optimum k, the combination of these two methods is able to improve most models' overall classification result on the perturbed retinal fundus image.

As one of the statistical-based models, an n-gram syllabification commonly gives a high syllable error rate (SER) for Bahasa Indonesia, one of the low-resource languages, since it fails for a high out-of-vocabulary (OOV) rate. Two previous models: bigram-syllabification with flipping onsets (BFO) and a combination of bigram with backoff smoothing based on phonological similarity (CBSPS), which use augmentation methods, can reduce the OOV rate. However, there are two problems in both BFO and CBSPS. First, they use an n-gram that is applied syllable-level, instead of grapheme-level, so that they suffer on the sparsity of n-grams. Second, they rely on a procedure to detect the positions of both vowels and diphthongs. Both problems make them not capable of distinguishing diphthongs from derivative words as well as syllabifying named-entities, which have many ambiguities related to vowels and semi-vowels. In this paper, a syllabification based on an n-gram tagger, which is applied on grapheme-level and does not rely on both vowel and diphthong detections, is developed to solve both problems. Besides, three data augmentation methods are exploited to enrich the dataset. The 5-fold cross-validations (5-FCV) using both datasets of 50 k words and 15 k named-entities show that the proposed augmented-syllabification of n-gram tagger (ASnGT) model is significantly better than both BFO and CBSPS. It is also significantly better than the fuzzy k-nearest neighbor in every class (FkNNC)-based model for formal words and named-entities. However, it suffers from derivative words, where it cannot easily distinguish them from both absorption words and terms of foreign languages. Besides, it also undergoes some foreign named-entities.

Purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of local taxes and retribution in influencing the performance of the Kragan village government in East Java Province. Methodology is a quantitative approach. The analyzed data sources is the Human Development Index (HDI) obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics. While the data used are cross sectional and time series taken from 2015 - 2020.

Research have been conducted about calculating the plasma temperature using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), located in Udayana University’s Laboratorium Penelitian Terpadu FMIPA. The calculation of Plasma Temperature is done using the Boltzmann Equation using the emission intensity and area under the curve of two wavelength from Cu neutral atom Cu I 521.82 nm and Cu I 510.55 nm. The intensity of Neutral Cu atom is obtained from focusing the Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 7 ns) with 80 mJ energy to the surface of Bras 6s (or 99.99%) slab in the air with 1 atm pressure and Helium gas with 60 mL/s flowrate, which will generate a plasma. The Photon emission from Cu neutral atoms in plasma will be caught by spectrometer HR 2500+ (14.336 CCD pixel, 200-800 nm). The average plasma temperature by delay time detection using intensity and area ratio is (8976.40±160.34) K and (13119.20±435.23) K respectively. In Helium gas, the temperature is (12261.21±419.06) K using intensity ratio and (16882.41±678.18) K using Area ratio.

This study aims to actualize philosophical values in shadow puppets performances for the puppeteer and the younger generation. The object of this research is a shadow puppets performance by young puppeteers in Surakarta and its surroundings. Recently, many young puppeteers have appeared arrogantly on stage, for example: standing up and trampling puppet with their feet, throwing puppet off the stage, cursing or saying rude things, exploiting sexual objects for jokes. Whether we realize it or not, one of the causes of this phenomenon is the gap in understanding the philosophical values of puppetry. Data collection methods in this study were the observation of performances and interviews, while to understand the meaning of symbols captured in shadow puppets performances, the method of understanding meaning was used. The notion of "understanding the meaning" in this context is how meaning can be captured from the puppeteers' expressions, either in the form of sabet (puppets movement), catur (puppeteer vocals), and music presented. The result of this research is an attempt to find the factors that influence the tendency of the young puppeteers to express freely. Finding the factors that influence the more youthful generation tends to like glamorous entertainment alone—actualizing philosophical values in shadow puppets according to the contemporary point of view. The ability of the puppeteers to present messages through shadow puppets performances should have direct implications for his personality, in addition to being a means of mass communication that can reach all levels of society (audience) in general.

In investing in the capital market, investorsneed accuracy in making decisions related to stocks. Accurate stock valuation can minimize the risk of being wrong in decision-making. Therefore, investors need to analyze conditions corporate finance for decision making in investing stock. To evaluate the company's financial condition, investors can do it by calculating the company's financial ratio, namely Earning Per Share (EPS), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Return on Equity (ROE) and for determining the appropriate timing of the investor's transactions will also be considering technical factors such as the Rupiah exchange rate against the US Dollar, Inflation and Bank Indonesia Interest Rates. This study aims to determine the effect. Earnings Per Share, Debt to Equity Ratio, Return on Equity, Exchange Rates, Inflation, and Bank Interest Rates Indonesia to Stock Prices. The population in this study are Go-Public companies from the Pharmaceutical sub-sector and the cosmetics sub-sector household goods, which are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange aslong as 2014-2019 period. The sample selection technique in this study is purposive sampling. Thirty-six companies were acquired which complied research sample criteria. This study uses secondary data analyzed by descriptive method and multiple linear regression tested with classical assumption experiments, T-Test and F-Test. The results showed that the test results: EPS had an effect significant and partially affect the share price., DER is not has a significant and partial effect on stock prices., ROE has a significant effect simultaneously and partially share price., Exchange rate has no significant effect simultaneously and partially has no effect on stock prices, inflation has no significant effect Simultaneously and partially it has no effect on stockprices.

The aims of this study are: (1) to explain the use of social capital in improving the welfare of returning migrant households; (2) to explain the interaction of the social environment and social capital in determining the welfare of the household; (3) identifying stakeholders in improving the welfare of returning migrants. The research design is a survey and case study. This study chose the research location in Central Java. Determination of the sample using the technique of multi-stages and purposive sampling. Collecting data using observation, structured interviews, and in-depth interviews.Data analysis uses descriptive statistics, the descriptive statistical and qualitative analysis and categorical. Return migrants more than 40 percent still maintain contact and always keep in touch. Actors involved in organizing return migrants are NGOs, companies, government, and religious organizations. The obstacle for returning migrants to increasing household welfare from the use of social capital is that there are still very few returning migrants who are members of organizations, those who join organizations are also just for non-productive communication, organizations are only a place to meet misses and mutual help. The social environment is more dominated by various traditional practices, limited to those who know them well, there is less innovation.

Background: Being highly contagious through person-to-person transmission, COVID-19 can easily spread within multinational populations of ships and to land communities. The purpose of this study is to report on the prevalence of COVID-19 infections in the Commerce fleet over a two year period and to discuss measures to prevent and overcome the outbreak of COVID-19 on ships. Materials and methods: All possible cases of COVID-19 among crew on six merchant vessels were registered during 2021 by onboard medical facilities. The patients remained isolated for up to 6 days after taking a PCR test. Vulnerable contacts were identified and offered post-exposure measures. The nationality of the crew, the number of contacts vaccinated, and the cost of direct treatment were noted. Results: Across the year of 2021, there were six ships with registered COVID-19 cases (132 crew), and one out of the six ships had COVID-19 cases appearing less frequently than 1 per day, consisting of a total of 12 patients. This ship sails under the flag of the Indonesian state. Of the other five ships, among the crew, 111 caught COVID-19 (85.1% of crew cases were from Indonesia, and 21 (15.9%) of were from subtropical/tropical countries, namely India). Conclusions: All ships have to deal with cases of COVID-19 or outbreaks on board every few years. Any case of COVID-19 could start an outbreak, and thus trigger time-consuming and expensive containment measures, including isolation and mass vaccination of susceptible contacts. Mandatory pre-contract proof of COVID-19 immunity from all seafarers or from subgroups, noting their position or nationality may be worth considering. In order for sailors to be immune to COVID-19, they must be able to get COVID-19 vaccinations and valid documentation when sailing.

The struggling of gender equalities was discussed often in various disciplines and discourses, a part is in literature. This paper analyzes the gender equalities struggle in two novels: Abidah El-Khalieqy’s Perempuan Berkalung Surban and Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Gadis Pantai. El-Khalieqy is a woman who has runs a pesantren “educational institute with a Moslem background” and Toer is a man who favors a nationalistic-socialist ideology, with an emphasis on literary realism. A literary -sociological and a feminist critical approach were used in analyzing both novels. The result of the analysis shows that gender struggle in the novel Perempuan Berkalung Sorban is caused by male oppression of women based on the explanation and interpretation of very patriarchal verses from the Al Qur’an (Islam religion). The gender struggle in novel Gadis Pantai is caused by male oppression of women based on feudalistic traditions, the woman as private property of men. Being placed in this feudalistic position, women then respond with struggles for equality.

Stemming, the process of getting a root from a derivative word by removing the affixes (which can be prefixes, infixes, and suffixes), plays an important role in computational linguistics. This paper investigates the use of a stemmer to boost a nearest neighbor-based text-to-phoneme (TTP) or phonemicization for Indonesian language, which has some problems regarding derivatives with prefixes ⟨ber⟩, ⟨me⟩, ⟨per⟩, and ⟨ter⟩ since the graphene ⟨e⟩ is sometimes incorrectly phonemicized. The confix-stripping-based stemming (CS) is added as the preprocessing procedure for a fuzzy nearest neighbor-based phonemicization. It is then investigated to see its impact in solving such errors. The 5-fold cross-validation on 50k words indicates that it is capable of eliminating most errors produced by the Indonesian phonemicization caused by the four prefixes. The averaged phoneme error rate (PER) is decreased from 1.34% to 1.04%. A deep investigation informs that CS can solve some errors from roots and derivatives consisting of graphene sequences ⟨ber⟩, ⟨me⟩, and ⟨per⟩. But, it still frequently fails to solve the errors caused by some words containing a graphene sequence ⟨ter⟩. Compared to a state-of-the-art deep learning-based phonemicization system that exploits a Transformer network, the proposed model gives lower PER and complexity.
