The development of land use in Badung Regency in the period 2013-2021 has an impact on changes in the ecological structure of the landscape. Changes in the ecological structure of the landscape occur in the three parameters, namely patch, matrix and corridor, which are indicated by changes in the area and function of the three parameters. The addition of matrix area in the settlement land use class and golf course patches causes changes in the area of the matrix of mixed gardens, rice fields and mangroves as well as corridors of non-volcanic coastal sand that dominantly have ecological functions. The objectives to be achieved in this study are to analyze the dynamics of changes in the ecological structure of the landscape caused by land use development in Badung Regency. The dynamics of changes in the ecological structure of the landscape due to large-scale changes is a driving factor in the deviation of spatial utilization and a decrease in the quality of the environment in Badung Regency. The research concluded that landscape ecology analysis is an important aspect in the development of regional zones in Badung Regency that takes into account the principles of sustainable development. This research found a new formulation in the analysis of ecological zone development that integrates the landscape ecology approach with the spatial approach and regional approach. The ecological zones of Badung Regency are grouped into 4 (four), namely: very high ecological zone, high ecological zone, medium ecological zone and low ecological zone.

Tracking abundant gene transcripts quantification over continuous cancer progression stages may reveal the mechanism of disease advancement. In this work, we profile the transcript quantification over the stages using a time-series approach, in which the stages/sub-stages of the disease are the time points, and the quantification measurements are the values. The values over time points are used to interpolate the growth of the progression using the cubic spline function. Then, the transcripts profiles are universally aligned and clustered using the time-series profile hierarchical clustering method based on the area between each pair of the aligned profiles; the method is named (HC-UAP). We compare the proposed method with a hierarchical clustering method based on Euclidean distance (HC-ED). Both methods were applied on two next-generation sequencing (NGS) prostate cancer datasets, the first from the Chinese and the second from the North American population. HC-ED clusters the dataset to find patterns while HC-UAP was able to single out outliers that trend differently in both datasets. While finding patterns in gene expression that trend over stages is the standard approach for analyzing time-series models, identifying outlier transcripts that grow differently than other transcripts can provide more details about the contribution of the mRNA transcriptional activity to the disease. They also can be a potential biomarker for the disease progression.

This review summarizes the recent development of organic substrate oxidation with heterogeneous vanadium Schiff base catalysts.

An inventory control system having multiple items in stock is developed in this paper to optimize total cost of inventory and space requirement. Inventory modeling for both the raw material storage and work in process (WIP) is designed considering independent demand rate of items and no volume discount. To make the model environmentally aware, the equivalent carbon emission cost is also incorporated as a cost function in the formulation. The purpose of this study is to minimize the cost of inventories and minimize the storage space needed. The inventory models are shown here as a multi-objective programming problem with a few nonlinear constraints which has been solved by proposing a meta-heuristic algorithm called multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO). A further meta-heuristic algorithm called multi-objective bat algorithm (MOBA) is used to determine the efficacy of the result obtained from MOPSO. Taguchi method is followed to tune necessary response variables and compare both algorithm's output. At the end, several test problems are generated to evaluate the performances of both algorithms in terms of six performance metrics and analyze them statistically and graphically.

This study examined the nexus between electronic human resource management (e-HRM), employee engagement and organizational performance in small- and medium-sized Saudi firms. In total, 180 participants were randomly selected using convenience sampling. Structural equation model-partial least squares SEM-PLS, was applied for analysis purposes. The outcomes of this study show that there is no statistically significant relationship between organizational performance and e-HRM. E-HRM and employee engagement, as well as employee engagement and organizational performance, have a strong beneficial association. The results highlight the necessity of establishing efficient E-HRM procedures as a strategy to raise employee engagement and promote organizational performance.

The Indonesian creative economy has been on the rise since 2015 when it has started being measured and prioritized by the government. Its contribution towards the Indonesian GDP has risen significantly as well. A small part of that creative sector is the video game industry and market. The video game global market will be worth USD 200 Billion in 2023. Indonesia currently is ranked 16th in terms of market size. Although having an enormous market opportunity, local video game producers only contribute 1%. Growth opportunities exist, however local game studios are facing the difficulty of recruiting quality game developers. Higher education institutions need to produce graduates having the knowledge, competences, and skills relevant for their work. This study is done to identify and prioritize attributes for the design of a university level program in game development that ensures employability in the sector. A qualitative thematic analysis is done in identifying the important factors for an academic program, followed by an analytical hierarchical process in determining the factors. Result of the study shows that a curriculum with internships in game studios, ensuring students are knowledgeable on the business models & video game market, having practitioners teach in the program, and creating a community of practice in the university is essential in producing quality graduates.

The primary aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in mitigating information disparities, as perceived by employees within the realm of Jordanian financial intermediaries. This role is encapsulated in various components, including accounting systems and policies, international financial reporting standards, international external auditing standards, international internal auditing standards, as well as professional and ethical conduct guidelines. In pursuit of our research objectives, we adopted two distinct methodological approaches. Firstly, a descriptive analytical approach was employed, involving the development of a structured questionnaire to gather primary data pertaining to the assessment of independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices. The second approach encompassed an applied perspective, seeking to gauge the impact of entrepreneurial accounting practices on reducing information asymmetry. This was achieved by examining the financial statements of insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period spanning 2016 to 2022, thereby constituting our dependent variable. Rigorous statistical techniques were employed to meticulously analyze the collected data, with the validation of our hypotheses achieved through a comprehensive multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study distinctly underscore the pivotal role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in ameliorating information asymmetry issues within the corporate economic landscape. A robust and statistically significant correlation emerged between our dependent variable, namely the reduction of information asymmetry, and both the independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices and their inherent characteristics. This study's significant recommendation extends beyond the mere technical dimensions of accounting, encompassing a call for a holistic reevaluation of the accounting profession. Addressing the enduring phenomenon of information asymmetry among stakeholders is not merely a concern confined to the technical aspects of accounting. Rather, it represents a profound professional and ethical crisis that permeates the entire accounting ecosystem. This crisis emanates from the very foundations and legal frameworks of the profession, extends through accounting standards, and encompasses professional conduct and ethics. Ultimately, it concludes with the supervision and oversight of the quality of professional performance, an obligation shared by accountants, certified auditors, and management alike.

This study aims to determine an accurate forecasting model, especially an error rate of around 0, and to examine how the automatic rejection system reacts to stock price as a result of the pandemic. The statistical clustering method is used for the dataset in form of daily observations, while the sample covers the period of cases before and after COVID-19 pandemic from 02 January 2019 to 20 June 2020 at the Trinitan Minerals and Metal Company. Furthermore, the data used in the estimation are the opening and closing price of returns, which are later processed using SAS analysis tools. It is shown that the most appropriate decision-making processes are those proven to be most effective. Therefore, predicting future events based on a suitable time series model will help policymakers and strategists make decisions and develop appropriate strategic plans regarding the stock market. Meanwhile, 98% of the ARIMA (1,1,1) is a forecasting model which can be applied to predict stock prices. The new approach of this study is an integrated autoregressive moving average used as an attempt to accurately predict stock prices during a pandemic.

Micro/mesopore composite catalysts containing platinum with HZSM-5 zeolite and three different silicate mesopores (SBA-3, KIT-6, and KCC-1) were prepared to investigate the influence of different silicate mesopores in the isomerization reaction of n-heptane at the temperature of 200-350 °C The structural characteristics and morphology of the prepared catalysts were studied by various methods such as XRD, FT-IR, N2 adsorption-desorption, XRF, and SEM. The obtained results indicate that the prepared catalysts have high conversion and high selectivity of multi-branched isomers compared to mono-branched isomers and low development of aromatic compounds. The most suitable results and selectivity were obtained in the n-heptane isomerization reaction related to the Pt/HZSM-5-SBA-3 catalyst.
