A Deep Local Patch Matching Network for Cell Tracking in Microscopy Image Sequences Without Registration.

Cell tracking is critical for the modeling of plant cell growth patterns. A local graph matching algorithm is proposed to track cells by exploiting the tight spatial topology of cells. However, the local graph matching approach lacks robustness in the unregistered images because the feature descriptors are handcrafted. In this paper, we propose a Deep Local Patch Matching Network (DLPM-Net) to track cells robustly, by exploiting local patches' deep similarity information and cells' spatial-temporal contextual information. Furthermore, to reduce the time consumption during the matching process and enhance tracking accuracy, we take two steps to realize the tracking of non-division cells and the detection of cell divisions. In the first step, the DLPM-Net is employed to match the non-division cells by exploiting the cell pair candidates' local patch contextual information, then the non-matched cells are recorded as the cell division candidates. In the second step, the DLPM-Net is used to detect cell divisions from these non-matched cells, by exploiting the local patch contextual similarity between the mother cell's local patch and daughter cells' local patch. Compared with the existing local graph matching method, the experimental results show that the proposed method gains 29.1% improvement in the tracking accuracy.

Perencanaan Kampanye Syafrudin-Subadri Dalam Kontestasi Pilkada Kota Serang Tahun 2018

The Serang City Election 2018 was enlivened by 3 pairs of candidates, one of whom was half incumbent who was the wife of the incumbent. With effective campaign planning, the pair Syafrudin-Subadri Usuludin was finally able to win from the half incumbent. In conducting this research, researchers took a reference focus from the theory, stages and campaign methods from Brian J. O'Day. The method used in this research is qualitative method. Data collection is done by interviewing informants, and from some secondary data such as field observations and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the pair Syafrudin and Subadri Usuludin along with the team carried out campaign stages in accordance with the six stages in conducting a campaign from Brian J. O'Day which consisted of conducting research, setting goals, setting target voters, building campaign messages, building relationship with voters, and campaign implementation. In addition, there are several factors that make Syafrudin-Subadri Usuludin able to surpass the half incumbent such as, the saturation of the people of Serang City over the dynastic political practices in Serang City, the weakness of figures from the half incumbent and several other factors. Meanwhile, the stages of building campaign messages and building relations with voters were the hallmarks of this pair, individual approaches such as coffees and door to door method were decisive factors in the campaign of the pair Syafrudin and Subadri Usuludin in the 2018 Serang regional election.

Motif Pelanggaran Netralitas Aparatur Sipil Negara dalam Pemilihan Kepala Daerah di Kabupaten Solok Tahun 2020

As the executor of government policies, the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) upholds the principles that have been established based on the laws and regulations, one of which is the principle of neutrality. However, violations of ASN neutrality cannot be avoided, this problem is influenced by various motives. The Regional Head Election (pilkada) in Solok district in 2020. To see these motives, the authors conducted research using descriptive qualitative methods. Informants from the research were determined by purposive sampling technique. Data were taken by interview, observation, and documentation. Then the data is processed by source triangulation. So that the research results show that violations of ASN neutrality occur due to internal motives and external motives. The internal motives are the desire to get a better position and the emotional closeness between ASN and the candidate pair. Internally, the position is threatened if it does not side with one of the candidates who are predicted to win. The limited authority of Bawaslu in terms of following up on ASN who commits a violation is a gap for ASN to commit a violation

Women’s Issues in the Campaign of Incumbent’s Wife in the Regional Head Election

The representation of women in politics aims to deputize their interests. The problem is whether a female regional head candidate is more committed to women’s interests and represents women’s aspirations. What issues are raised in the campaign of a female candidate? This study aims to analyze women’s issues promoted by a female candidate in the 2020 Bengkalis Regional Head Election. The argument for taking the case study in Bengkalis is that a female candidate being the incumbent’s wife won the Regional Head Election, even though her husband had committed corruption and was sentenced to prison. Political family nominations are often based on popularity and family name, not on the candidate’s quality. This study analyzed women’s issues in the Regional Head Election with qualitative, descriptive, and NVivo analyses. The data were collected by documenting news in the media and the vision and mission presented by the candidate pairs. By taking the case of women’s issues in the political, economic, public service, social and legal sectors, the study results unveiled that all actors involved in the campaign, whether candidates, success teams, society, and public figures, were interested in women’s issues. Women’s issues becoming a concern in the campaign encompassed women’s economic empowerment, social security, health services, education, and domestic and children violence. Meanwhile, sanitation and the environment were not the issues in the campaign. The findings of this study reinforce previous studies that female candidates tend to raise issues related to social policy and redistribution and women’s services in the domestic sector.

Incumbent Failure in the 2018 Riau Governor Election Contest

This study aimsto explain the factors that led to the defeat of incumbent candidate ArsyadjuliandiRachman-Suyatno in the election of the Governor of Riau in 2018. This empirical fact is interesting to analyze because the incumbent pair is supported by the majority of seats in parliament and Riau is the base area of the Golkar Party. This study uses qualitative research methods using data collection techniques through interviews and document sources such as books, research journals, survey results, and articles in mass media and online media. The results of this study indicate that 4 factors led to the defeat of the incumbent pair in the election of the Governor of Riau in 2018 namely (1) Government performance that is not well socialized; (2) Machinery of political parties that have not worked optimally and effectively; (3) Effect of the ulama; and (4) Political branding of incumbent candidate pairs who are unsuccessful. The conclusion in this study is that candidate figures are important indirect regional head elections, but also a political marketing strategy is needed by carrying out political branding so that the message to be conveyed to voters towards candidate figures is acceptable so that they are ultimately chosen by the voters.

The Use of Social Media (Twitter) in The Winning of East Java Province Election in 2018

This study aims to look at the use of social media (Twitter) in winning the 2018 East Java Provincial Election. Social media and online media are currently being used by pairs of candidates for the 2018 East Java Pilkada to attract public sympathy. Based on a survey conducted by Indonesia Indicator as of April 2018, media exposure is still dominated by Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) as a top influencer compared to other candidates. In the 2018 East Java Pilkada, the media also has a big role in shaping public opinion. The author uses the concept of media framing to see how the use of social media (Twitter) in winning the 2018 East Java Pilkada. The method used is a case study as a method that aims to explain how the use of Twitter social media in winning the 2018 East Java Pilkada. We limit this research to see how social media (Twitter) can shape public opinion in the 2018 East Java Regional Head Election. Data collection is done by document analysis and online observation. Document analysis was carried out by looking at the results of the report that had been released by Indonesia Indicator (I2) regarding the media monitoring they carried out during the 2018 East Java Pilkada.

Analisis Faktor Kemenangan Pasangan Bobby Nasution & Aulia Rachman pada Pemilihan Walikota Medan

This article aims to examine the implementation of the 2020 regional head election in Medan City, with the election of Bobby Nasution and Aulia Rachman as mayor and deputy mayor of Medan, the people waiting for promises and solutions for the city of Medan. As the youngest Candidate for Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Medan City, of course there are several factors that became the reason for the people to choose Bobby Nasution – Aulia Rachman as mayor and deputy mayor. It is interesting to study, especially from the voting behavior of the people of the city of Medan in 2020 in selecting the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Medan. The reason is that the election of the Bobby Nasution-Aulia Rachman pair in the 2020 Medan City Election cannot be separated from how they as a candidate pair attract the public's interest. There are many assumptions that take into account the technicalities and how voters give their choice to the winner of the Medan City Election. The purpose of this study is the Factors Affecting People's Choices in the Victory of the Bobby Nasution - Aulia Rachman Couple in the 2020 Medan Mayor Election. This research method is a qualitative research with descriptive analysis. The results of this study are the presence of voting behavior, appropriate personal branding for the couple Bobby Nasution and Aulia Rachman and motivation.

Convenient Election Conflict Management (Case Study of the 2018 South Central Elections)

Background: The 2018 TTS Pilkada conflict was caused by incomplete and inauthentic documents to conduct the election, namely the original hologram C1-KWK model form and the original hologram C1 Plano-KWK model form at 30 polling stations. Objective: Describe and analyze the Conflict Management of the South Central Timor Regency Pilkada in the 2018 Simultaneous Regional Head Elections. Methods: qualitative. Research Location : South Central Timor Regency. Research focus: Third Party Intervention Model Conflict Management which consists of conciliation, negotiation, mediation and arbitration. Informant determination technique: purposive sampling. Data collection techniques: interviews and documentation. Results: Negotiation: The TTS KPU meeting with Paslon No.2 occurred at the stage of the dispute over the election results aimed at discussing the findings that became objections to Paslon No.2 in the 2018 TTS Pilkada. The meeting was attended by Paslon No.2 along with several TPS witnesses and the success team and from security." Conslusion: The 2018 TTS Regency Pilkada conflict occurred at the disputed stage of the election results, this was because in the Determination of the Vote Count Result for the 2018 South Central Timor Regent and Deputy Regent Election there were incomplete and inauthentic documents to conduct the election, namely the original C1-KWK Model Form with holograms and The original Model C1.Plano-KWK form has a hologram at 30 polling stations so that the validity of the vote is not guaranteed. A conflict occurred between one pair of candidates (Drs. Obed Naitboho, M.Si and Alexander Kase, S.Pdk) and the TTS KPU as the election organizer.

Komunikasi Krisis PT. Indonesia Asahan Aluminium Berkaitan Perbedaan Interpretasi Perhitungan Pajak Air Permukaan

This study analyzes the political marketing strategy carried out by the Surya-Taufik pair who are the incumbent pair in participating in the simultaneous regional head elections (Pemilukada) in 2020 in Asahan Regency. The involvement of the incumbent pair in regional head elections is often seen as a strong candidate, this happens because the incumbent pair is considered to have had more dominant political capital such as popularity, network and image. The incumbent pair is considered to have a good image as a popular official in the eyes of the public, especially if it is supported by the performance of a positive figure, it will certainly strengthen the relationship between voters and candidate pairs in terms of winning. The theories used to explain these problems are democracy theory, political marketing theory, political communication theory and role theory. From the search results of researchers in the field, researchers get a summary of the flow of the process of winning the Surya-Taufik candidate pair, namely the process of candidacy, forming a winning team, conducting research, designing political products, implementing political products, establishing political communication and building commitment. The political marketing theory carried out by the Surya-Taufik pair uses three approach models, namely push marketing, pull marketing and pass marketing in conducting political campaigns. This strategy is a comprehensive step taken by the Surya-Taufik couple and the success team that can be accepted by all circles of society.

PANC: Prototype Augmented Neighbor Constraint instance completion in knowledge graphs

Great attention has been devoted to knowledge graph completion techniques with the wide application of knowledge graph. Previous works on knowledge graph completion mainly consider predicting missing one element for given two elements in a triplet, such as (h, r, ?). However, this task lacks of reasonable consideration between entities and relations, such as (Italy, acted in, ?), which may cause the meaningless predictions. Recent attempt solves this problem by redefining a new task-instance completion, which generates and evaluates reasonable relation-tail pairs for given head entity, such as (h, ?, ?). In this work, we propose a novel Prototype Augmented Neighbor Constraint instance completion model called PANC, which consists of two modules-prototype filter and neighbor aggregation grader. A kind of coarse-grained information prototype is utilized in filters to generate more candidate relation-tail pairs and neighbor aggregation is introduced into grader so as to enhance entity embedding and constrain the combination between head entity and candidate pairs. The experiments show that our PANC outperforms the state-of-the-art instance completion techniques on two real-world datasets FB15k and JF17k. And the ablation results verify the effectiveness of the modules in our proposed PANC.

The IQA Energy Partition in a Drug Design Setting: A Hepatitis C Virus RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase (NS5B) Case Study.

The interaction of the thumb site II of the NS5B protein of hepatitis C virus and a pair of drug candidates was studied using a topological energy decomposition method called interacting quantum atoms (IQA). The atomic energies were then processed by the relative energy gradient (REG) method, which extracts chemical insight by computation based on minimal assumptions. REG reveals the most important IQA energy contributions, by atom and energy type (electrostatics, sterics, and exchange–correlation), that are responsible for the behaviour of the whole system, systematically from a short-range ligand–pocket interaction until a distance of approximately 22 Å. The degree of covalency in various key interatomic interactions can be quantified. No exchange–correlation contribution is responsible for the changes in the energy profile of both pocket–ligand systems investigated in the ligand–pocket distances equal to or greater than that of the global minimum. Regarding the hydrogen bonds in the system, a “neighbour effect” was observed thanks to the REG method, which states that a carbon atom would rather not have its covalent neighbour oxygen form a hydrogen bond. The combination of IQA and REG enables the automatic identification of the pharmacophore in the ligands. The coarser Interacting Quantum Fragments (IQF) enables the determination of which amino acids of the pocket contribute most to the binding and the type of energy of said binding. This work is an example of the contribution topological energy decomposition methods can make to fragment-based drug design.

Binary open clusters in the Gaia data

Context. Observations indicate that the fraction of potential binary star clusters in the Milky Way is either the same or lower than that of the Magellanic Clouds. The unprecedented precision in the parallax measurements by Gaia has allowed for the discovery of a growing number of new binary open clusters (OCs). Aims. We aim to survey the candidates of truly binary open clusters that are formed simultaneously, using information from the Gaia database. Methods. Based on the most recent catalog of open clusters, we investigated the interactions of adjacent binary open clusters in our Galaxy within separations of 50 pc. We compared their coordinates, proper motions, parallaxes, and color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) via binary plots for all candidate pairs. The candidates of truly binary open clusters are selected on the basis of their common proper motions and consistent behaviors in the CMDs of different clusters that are limited to a separation of 50 pc. Results. About ten pairs of the selected binary open clusters appear to be the same clusters, based on evidence that almost half of the cluster members are shared. Fourteen pairs are possibly true binaries, implying that they may come from the same clouds, among which five pairs are newly discovered. In addition, two clusters, UBC 46 and UBC 192, were found to be part of the stellar complex LISCA I. Our results confirm that OCs born in groups are usually composed of young open clusters.

Strength of incumbent political symbolism at the simular elections of Seram Regency, east part of Maluku Province 2020

This paper aimed to identify and describe the power of incumbent political symbolism in the simultaneous regional elections of East Seram Regency, Maluku Province. Three candidate pairs followed this election: Alkatiri-Arobi Kelian, Rohani Vanath-Ramli Mahu, and Mukti Keliobas (Incumbent) Idris Rumalutur. Observation results show that the incumbent's political opponent, Rohani Vanath, who is the wife of Abdullah Vanath (former Regent, SBT), is considered to strengthen the politics of political dynasties, where political battles are dominated by coalitions of predatory interests and encourage the marginalization of people's power, as emphasized in Yuki's conceptualization. Fukuoka.

Nasdem's Party Victory in West Java Local Leader Election 2020

This journal examines the Nasdem Party's campaign strategy in the 2020 Simultaneous General Elections in West Java Province. The election of all Candidate Pairs promoted by the Nasdem Party in five regions in West Java is a proud success, especially during this Pandemic because political campaign and marketing strategies are needed which are certainly different from usual. Theoretically, the victory of Nasdem is analyzed through a campaign strategy with four marketing indicators known as the 4Ps, namely Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. Methodologically, this journal uses a qualitative approach to case studies and literature studies. The data collection technique was carried out using primary data and secondary data taken from journals, online news, both news from television and news from online media, as well as KPU releases regarding data on the results of the 2020 Regional Head Elections. The findings of this study are that the victory of the NasDem Party is highly dependent on Price, Promotion, and Product factors. The five pairs of candidates promoted by NasDem are highly invested candidates, both in terms of campaign financing and in terms of promotion. In addition, the victory achieved by the NasDem Party cannot be separated from the character of the candidates promoted by the Nasdem Party, most of these candidates are candidates who are well known to the public, such as incumbents and former Indonesian actors, and candidates who have extensive networks such as businessmen.

PERILAKU PEMILIH (VOTING BEHAVIOUR) FORUM BETAWI REMPUG (FBR) DALAM PEMILU PRESIDEN INDONESIA 2019

This study will discuss the voting behavior of the Betawi Rempug Forum in the 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election. Studies on voter behavior will never stop as long as Indonesia still adheres to a democratic system, as has happened in the Betawi Rempug Forum (FBR) community organization. FBR is a Betawi community organization which in the presidential election changed its political support for Pak Joko Widodo, while during the 2017 DKI Jakarta governor election, they supported the candidate pair for Governor Anies-Sandi. This is what makes a lot of polemics in the community, even every head of the winning team has an argument with each other regarding this. Therefore, it is important to look at the voting behavior of the Betawi Rembug Forum (FBR) in the 2019 Presidential Election. By using the theory of voter behavior and combining it with qualitative research methods with the type of case study research, it is hoped that this study can be a separate contribution. for the study of social science and political science in Indonesia.

The Politicization of Religion on Facebook Social Media in Elections Governor of North Sumatra in 2018

This study examines the politicization of religion through social media Facebook that occurred during the election campaign for the Governor and Deputy Governor of North Sumatra from January to June 2018. This was followed by two pairs of candidates, namely Eramas and Djoss. There are three research questions posed: 1) How is the politicization of religion on Facebook social media in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, 2) How is the candidate pair politicizing religion through Facebook social media, 3) the relationship between the politicization of religion and Facebook social media. By using qualitative research methods the researchers traced and collected data through in-depth interviews, as well as observation and documentation. The results of this study reveal that: first, the construction of issues that link religious issues in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election is interactive. Where there are two or more Facebook users who are involved in the interaction of exchanging messages and the role as communicators and interacting communicants are in full control of the timing, content, actions of communication and the text to be disseminated. Second, departing from the public opinion that was built, each candidate in the 2018 North Sumatra gubernatorial election, both the Eramas couple and the Djoss pair used buzzers in their campaign activities. In further battles, there was a crystallization of issues that linked everything related to religion on Facebook. Third, the game of religious symbols cannot be separated from the hope of gaining support from a specific mass base. The construction of these symbols is deliberately presented to inspire potential voters with the form of pride and fanaticism of religion, ethnicity, and race on social media Facebook

Exploring Goldstein et al.’s Scalelink method of data linkage.

ObjectivesScalelink is an innovative probabilistic data linkage method based on correspondence analysis. Unlike the popular and widely-used Fellegi-Sunter algorithm, it does not assume linkage variable independence. It also claims to be more intuitive and computationally efficient. We aim to test this method for the first time on real-world big data.
 ApproachScalelink uses agreement states for each linkage variable and candidate pair. These are compared to determine how frequently, for all candidate pairs, any given agreement state is held at the same time as any other agreement state (this accounts for variable dependence). The results of this comparison are inputted into a loss function and the minimisation of this function is derived within constraints to produce weights. Currently, the method is accessible via Goldstein et al.’s paper and R package. We are translating it into PySpark to enable testing on datasets that are too large to link without using distributed computing.
 ResultsInitial testing of Goldstein et al.’s Scalelink method on small samples of real-world datasets shows that it performs as expected for a probabilistic linkage method, although cannot currently deal with missingness. To test the quality of the method on real-world big data, a high-quality linked dataset of the 2021 England and Wales Census and follow-up Census Coverage Survey will be used as a Gold Standard (GS). After developing a method that enables Scalelink to deal with missingness, we will apply Scalelink and automatic Fellegi-Sunter probabilistic linkage to this GS. We can thus establish and compare the precision and recall of both methods. We will also investigate linkage bias for particular demographics, test computational efficiency and estimate the clerical review burden for each method.
 ConclusionGoldstein et al.’s Scalelink algorithm shows promise as a high quality, scalable, dependence-free linkage algorithm for use in any matching project. Here, for the first time, we research the method’s quality and feasibility with real-world big data. From this we will produce recommendations regarding its utility.

2021 Census to Census Coverage Survey Matching Results.

The 2021 England and Wales Census was matched to the Census Coverage Survey (CCS). This was an essential requisite for estimating undercount in the Census. To ensure outputs could be produced within a year of census day, matching had to be completed in eight weeks.
 We used the Data Access Platform to write efficient and accurate automatic matching algorithms. Probabilistic and associative matching methods were used to present candidate pairs that could not be automatically matched but likely consisted of many true matches. These were resolved by matchers in the clerical matching system. Active learning was used to iteratively improve probabilistic parameters as matches were made.
 We also developed a pre-search algorithm that simplifies clerical matching by replacing clerical searching (here’s a record, can you find a match?) with clerical resolution (here are two records, do they match?).
 As a result of our improvements, we increased our automatic matching rates from 70% (2011 Census) to 93% (2021 Census) for person matching and from 60% to 95% for household matching, without loss of accuracy. Precision and recall were estimated to both be 99.96% for person matching and 100% and 99.78% respectively for household matching. For both persons and households, the same trends seen in 2011 are seen here too; however, most of the biases have decreased and most match rates have increased.
 Dual system estimation using the matched and unmatched records enabled us to estimate that coverage in the 2021 England and Wales Census was 97%.
 The matching methodology implemented for the 2021 Census to CCS matching improved both person and household matching greatly when compared with the 2011 matching. The clerical matching system enabled clerical matching at scale and at pace. Thus, we successfully completed all clerical matching within our eight-week deadline.

Strategi Komunikasi Politik Untuk Memperoleh Dukungan Pemuda Dalam Pilkada Kota Serang: Studi Pada Pasangan Calon Syafrudin-Subadri

Abstract A group of young people ventured to openly support the candidate pair Syafrudin-Subadri in the 2018 Serang City Regional Head General Election. Syafrudin-Subadri is an opponent of the incumbent family and a member of the Banten political class supported by the majority coalition. Rationally, the incumbent family has more political possibilities and power because it is supported by the majority coalition and is a member of the incumbent's family and the Banten political elite. The goal of this research is to describe and assess Syafrudin-political Subadri's communication strategy for gaining support for youth organizations in the 2018 Serang City Regional Elections, as well as the youth group's basic foundation. The conceptual basis for this research is the theory of political communication strategy with three approaches, namely maintaining the character and strengthening institutions, creating togetherness, and building consensus. This research method uses descriptive qualitative methods with a case study approach and uses purposive data collection techniques to obtain in-depth information. The research subjects are Syafrudin, the elected mayor and the object of the Serang City Youth Network. This paper examines the candidate pair Syafrudin-Subadri got youth support since they were deemed credible and of high quality. Political messages are delivered to the Syafrudin-Subadri pair using direct or face-to-face persuasive tactics, with media chosen based on the era and societal conditions. The Syafrudin-Subadri duo may then grasp the audience, particularly among the youth, by conditionally and more dominantly absorbing ambitions from diverse circles of society.
