On testing exponentiality against NBARFR life distribution
No full textThis paper considers testing exponentiality against new better than average renewal failure rate (NBARFR) alternatives. The percentiles of this test statistic are tabulated for simple sizes 5(1)50. Pitman's asymptotic efficiencies relative to the tests of the new better than used (NBU), new better than used failure rate (NBUFR) and new better than used renewal failure rate (NBURFR) (Amhmed, 1994; Hendi et al., 2000 and Mahmoud and Abdul Alim, 2002). The powers of this test are also calculated for some used life distributions. The problem when right-censored data is available is handled. Pratical applications of our tests in the medical sciences are present
Modeling the mass transfer coefficients (MTCs) of PCBs, PAHs, OCPs, and PCDD/Fs using a water surface sampler (WSS)
No full textIn this study, the mass transfer coefficients (MTCs) characterizing the air-water exchange of PCDD/Fs were investigated. Evaporation and dissolved oxygen (DO) experiments were carried out using a water surface sampler (WSS), and the MTCs of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) were then modeled based on the data obtained from these experiments. As a result of the calculations made using the evaporation flux observed in the WSS, the average air-side individual MTC [kg (H2O)] was determined as 1.33 ± 0.58 cm/s kg (H2O) values were correlated against u10, and a model for the WSS was derived. The water-side individual MTC [(kw (O2)] for oxygen was calculated using two methods, flux and absorption. According to the results of the calculations, kw (O2) values were determined as 9.35 × 10−4 ±7.65 × 10−1 cm/s and 1.30 × 10−3 ±6.60 × 10−1 cm/s by flux and absorption methods, respectively. The obtained kw (O2) values were also correlated against u10, and kw(O2)_flux and kw(O2)_abs models were constructed for the WSS. Consequently, by applying the findings to the two-film theory, the overall MTC [Kg (SVOCs)] in the gas phase was calculated as 0.03 ± 0.03 cm/s for PCBs, 0.19 ± 0.18 cm/s for PAHs, 0.11 ± 0.08 cm/s for OCPs, and 0.07 ± 0.01 cm/s for PCDD/Fs. MTC values showed seasonal variation, with higher values observed during cold periods. There was also an oscillation in the MTCs among the species of SVOCs. When the chlorine number and molecular weight increased, the MTCs also increased. The results found by modeling are in line with the measurement results obtained by using the WSS but are somewhat lower
Direct measurements and comparisons of dry deposition fluxes and velocities of PCDD/Fs with two samplers
No full textPolychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) are toxic and persistent pollutants that raise concerns due to their accumulative characteristics in the environments and biota. Atmospheric PCDD/Fs can enter various recipient environments and impact the entire ecosystem, thereby arousing more attention. Dry deposition is deemed the dominant migration pathway of atmospheric PCDD/Fs owing to their predominant distributions in the particulate phase. So far, however, there is no universally accepted method and device for dry deposition sampling. Here, we selected two widely used dry deposition samplers that work in different modes, water surface sampler (WSS) and wet-dry deposition sampler (WDDS), and investigated their differences in dry deposition sampling of PCDD/Fs. The average monthly total (∑17 PCDD/Fs) dry deposition fluxes (FP) in the particulate phase measured with the WSS and WDDS were 314 ± 158 pg/m2-day (36.6 ± 24.6 pg I-TEQ/m2-day) and 108 ± 39.4 pg/m2-day (11.4 ± 5.21 pg I-TEQ/m2-day), respectively. The difference between flux values indicated their collection efficiencies and artifacts during the sample collection. Higher dry deposition fluxes were measured in winter. This was mainly due to higher atmospheric levels of PCDD/Fs in colder months. The highest and lowest values of PCDD/Fs in both samplers were observed for OCDD and 2,3,4,6,7,8-HxCDF, respectively. This could indicate parallel collection characteristics of both samplers. A high-volume air sampler was used simultaneously with the WSS to determine the ambient air concentrations. Then, dry deposition velocities (Vd) were calculated by dividing the dry deposition fluxes (Fp) by the particulate phase concentrations (Cp) for each PCDD/F congener. The mean dry deposition velocity for PCDD/F congeners was determined with the WSS and WDDS 1.71 ± 0.88 cm/s and 0.64 ± 0.39 cm/s, respectively. Furthermore, the study underscored that water surfaces and shorter sampling periods provided more reliable values for particulate PCDD/F deposition than steel surfaces with prolonged exposure due to the degradation and volatilization effects observed on the latter
ANALISIS PUTUSAN HAKIM PENGADILAN AGAMA PADANG KELAS 1A DALAM KASUS CERAI GUGAT NO PERKARA 135/PDT.G/2024/PA.PDG DITINJAU DARI SURAT EDARAN MAHKAMAH AGUNG (SEMA) NOMOR 03 TAHUN 2023

Abdul Alim, (2024): Analisis Putusan Hakim Pengadilan Agama Padang Kelas 1A Dalam Kasus Cerai Gugat No Perkara 135/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Pdg Ditinjau Dari Surat Edaran Mahkamah Agung (SEMA) No 03 Tahun 2023
Penulisan skripsi ini didasari oleh adanya perkara di Pengadilan Agama Padang yang berkaitan dengan pertimbangan hakim dalam kasus cerai gugat dengan nomor perkara 135/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Pdg. Dalam kasus ini, hakim Pengadilan Agama Padang Kelas 1A mengabulkan gugatan cerai meskipun suami dan istri baru berpisah tempat tinggal sekitar 1 bulan dan tidak terdapat unsur Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT) dalam perkara tersebut. Padahal, sesuai dengan SEMA No. 03 Tahun 2023, gugatan cerai seharusnya dikabulkan jika terbukti terjadi perselisihan dan pertengkaran terus-menerus yang membuat tidak ada harapan untuk hidup rukun, disertai dengan syarat berpisah tempat tinggal paling singkat 6 bulan, kecuali ditemukan adanya fakta hukum tentang KDRT yang dilakukan oleh Penggugat atau Tergugat.Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam skripsi ini adalah: (1) Apa saja pertimbangan hakim Pengadilan Agama Padang Kelas 1A dalam memutus perkara cerai gugat nomor 135/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Pdg, dan (2) Bagaimana pertimbangan tersebut ditinjau dari SEMA No. 03 Tahun 2023.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pertimbangan hakim Pengadilan Agama Padang dalam memberikan putusan kasus cerai gugat serta untuk memahami kesesuaian pertimbangan tersebut dengan aturan yang diatur dalam SEMA No. 03 Tahun 2023.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan (library research). Data yang digunakan berupa data sekunder, yang mencakup bahan hukum primer berupa Putusan Pengadilan Agama Padang Kelas I A dalam Perkara Nomor 135/Pdt.G/2024/PA.Pdg., serta bahan hukum sekunder berupa buku-buku dan karya ilmiah yang relevan dengan topik penelitian. Pembahasan dilakukan dengan metode Content Analysis.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pertimbangan hakim didasarkan pada adanya perselisihan dan pertengkaran yang terus-menerus dalam rumah tangga antara Pemohon dan Termohon, yang membuat keduanya sulit untuk diperdamaikan. Hal ini sesuai dengan Pasal 19 huruf (f) Peraturan Pemerintah No. 9 Tahun 1975, serta Pasal 116 huruf (f) Kompilasi Hukum Islam .Berdasarkan tinjauan SEMA No 03 tahun 2023 disimpulkan bahwa SEMA tidak memiliki kekuatan mengikat bagi hakim. Bahwa hakim berwenangan mengikuti dan memahami nilai-nilai hukum dan rasa keadilan yang hidup dalam masyarakat.Namun, akan lebih baik jika majelis hakim menambahkan pertimbangan hukum berdasarkan SEMA. Hal ini dapat berperan sebagai faktor pendukung yang memperkuat dasar hukum dari keputusan yang telah diambil.

Traditional corporate reporting in the era of integrated reporting: views of accounting practitioners in Bangladesh / Abdul Alim Baser and Mazni Abdullah
Get PDFThis paper explores the accounting practitioners’ views on traditional corporate reporting during the integrated reporting (IR) era in Bangladesh. Semi-structured interviews with professional accountants in Bangladesh were conducted to gauge their insights on traditional corporate reporting practices. Using stakeholder theory, the findings of the interviews indicate that traditional corporate reporting in Bangladesh is insufficient and less reliable for stakeholders’ decision-making. The reliability of traditional corporate reporting is largely compromised due to the absence of due diligence by the preparers. Yet, this is still practiced due to regulatory compulsions in Bangladesh. Moreover, the preference for financial information by investors also mildly catalyses the current practice. The findings of this study imply the need for better reporting in place of traditional corporate reporting. It thus signifies the worth of IR as a better corporate reporting model
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
