Revitalization Supervision Islamic Banking in Enhancement Compliance in Indonesia and Malaysia

This study is indicated with social reality that, following three decades of dual banking system implementation in Indonesia, Islamic banks' operational activities are essentially identical with the operations of conventional banks. The thing that distinguishes is only the Shariah "brand". In the vast zone of national banking industry, Islamic banks are still being the "followers" of conventional banks with approximately 6.65% market share. The focus of study is on the Islamic bank supervision system by DPS, the Shariah Bank Compliance Directorate, and OJK in carrying out supervisory functions related to fields of duty. The study methodology applied is a normative legal study which includes a study of norms, principles of sharia banking law, and the opinions of sharia economic law experts, while those used are a statutory approach and a sociological approach. The next stage of data analysis is data display, which illustrated through tables, figures, and graphs. Data categorization was carried out relied to the theme to identify the implementation of Islamic bank supervision duties in conforming to Shariah principles and the implementation of laws and regulations. The results showed that there are several problems in Islamic bank supervision institutions that make supervisory performance not optimal and pose potential legal risks for the bank. The roles of DPS, the Directorate of Shariah Bank Compliance, and OJK, which run independently and inefficiently, create overlapping aspects of Islamic bank supervision. This study recommends amending UURI No. 21 of 2008 about Shariah Banking by giving attributive responsibility to DPS to sanction Islamic banks that proved to violate Shariah principal compliance and establishing the OJK regulations on Islamic banking audit instruments.

Efficiency measurement and inefficiency analysis of low-carbon logistics in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, China

Under the dual-carbon goals, enhancing the green development level of logistics industry and realizing its low-carbon transformation are important issues that need to be solved urgently. Amidst the continuous escalation in the total energy consumption of the national logistics industry, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region has exhibited a favorable descending trajectory in this respect. It is necessary to investigate the underlying reasons. Based on the panel data from 2012 to 2021, the DEA and Malmquist index are employed to analyze the low-carbon logistics efficiency of the BTH region from both static and dynamic perspectives. Furthermore, the inefficiency analysis is conducted to identify the deficiencies of low-carbon logistics industry in this region. Results show that (1) from the static perspective, the development of low-carbon logistics industry in the BTH region is relatively unbalanced. Compared to Tianjin and Hebei, Beijing's low-carbon logistics efficiency is significantly lower, becoming the focal area for attention; (2) from the dynamic perspective, technological progress is the main reason for the fluctuation of total factor productivity in the BTH region and a constraining factor for further improvements; (3) from the results of inefficiency analysis, the forthcoming emphasis on low-carbon logistics in Beijing should be on optimizing the number of logistics practitioners, transportation efficiency, and energy efficiency. Economic output and energy efficiency are relatively vulnerable aspects in Tianjin and Hebei, respectively, warranting due consideration. The research results of this paper have important practical implications for better developing low-carbon logistics in the BTH region and leveraging its leading role nationwide.

Ukrainian Show Business in the 1990s: Communication Models and Forms of Presentation

The article examines the formation and development of Ukrainian show business in the 1990s. The author studies the communication models used by the members of artistic circles to present themselves to a wide audience. The main forms of representation of artists, in particular, through television, radio, and print media were analysed. It is found that in the early 1990s, traditional models of communication dominated, when the artist was an object of media influence. Later, however, there was a shift to the agency of performers who constructed their public image independently. The transformation of mass communication in Ukraine in the context of the establishment of a market economy and democratic freedoms was emphasized. The role of new media platforms (music channels and magazines) in shaping the popularity of artists is noted. The results of the study show that in the 1990s there was a transition from the “star” model of artists’ presentation to more diverse forms of self-presentation. In particular, the role of artists in constructing their own image has become more important, which correlates with the processes of commercialization and democratization of the media space. The study is based on a comprehensive methodological approach that combines historical, cultural and socio-communication analysis. Content analysis of media materials and discourse analysis were used. The data obtained can be used for further research on the transformation of the national media system and cultural industries. The results of the study may also be of interest to specialists in the field of mass communications, sociology, cultural studies, as well as to a wide range of readers interested in the history of Ukrainian culture

Classification of sugarcane areas in Landsat images using machine learning algorithms

Monitoring sugarcane areas through remote sensing is essential for planning and management of the national sugarcane industry. The use of machine learning algorithms has provided many benefits to remote sensing. This article aims to compare the prediction quality of three important machine learning methods in identifying sugarcane areas using Landsat images: Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT) and RandomForest (RF). LR was applied in three versions: LR without penalization, LR with Ridge penalization (LR-R) and LR with Lasso penalization (LR-L). Data obtained in this study refer to a region of approximately 306,000 ha located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, which was segmented into approximately 46,000 polygons (observations). Six spectral bands and vegetation indices observed along 17 months resulted in 102 covariates, which were reduced via Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In total, 19 Principal Components were chosen to account for 94.61% of the cumulative explained variance ratio and were used in machine learning methods to classify each polygon as sugarcane or other land covers. The method with the highest accuracy considering testing sample of 20% of data was RF (78.51%), followed by DT (72.30%), LR-L (69.64%), LR-R (69.64%), and LR (69.52%).

Co-sintering characteristics of W-Re pre-alloyed powder and Ni, Fe

Tungsten (W) heavy alloys (WHAs) have unique mechanical properties and are widely used in the national defence and military industries. Adding Re to WHAs can produce a good “Re effect” and improve their performance. However, the solid solubility of Re in W particles was limited in traditional sintering processes, which limited its application. This study prepared W-Re solid solution powder by pre-alloying (mechanical ball milling) and W-Re-Ni-Fe alloy with an ultimate tensile strength of 1.05 GPa by co-sintering W-Re solid solution powder with Ni and Fe powders. At the same time, the diffusion path of the Re element in WHAs and its influence on the properties of W particles and matrix phase were determined. The addition of Re can improve the strength and hardness of the alloys but hinder the dissolution and precipitation process of W in the matrix phase, weakening the W-matrix interface, and the ductility of the alloy ultimately decreases. Therefore, it is expected to enhance the interdiffusion reaction between W particles and the matrix phase by regulating the composition of the matrix phase, thereby achieving a synergistic improvement in the strength and toughness of WHAs.

Soy-Based High-Protein Spheric Foods with the Appearance of Familiar Sugary Snacks.

Excessive consumption of sugary foods increases the likelihood of obesity, as well as the preventable risk of lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Frequent intake of sweet snacks is considered to increase the risk of overweight/obesity in industrial nations. However, we cannot stop snacking against our better judgment. Therefore, in this study, we sought to develop high-protein, low-carb "mock snacks" to satisfy snack lovers' appetites and nutrition. Soy protein-based, ball-shaped food products with 57.7% (w/w) protein and 3.6% sugar have been developed. The addition of canola oil made them melty in the mouth without sacrificing their crispiness. Moreover, evaluation of the surface topography of the "soy balls" by 3D laser scanning demonstrated their high degree of sphericity. Conclusively, the snacks developed here may be one of the healthy alternatives for the current sugary ones.
