The study of rotation curve with MOND for ESO138-G014
No full textThis paper is devoted to solve the galactic rotation problem based on Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). It addresses a new fundamental constant a0, called the acceleration constant, at which acceleration scale of Newton's second law fails to hold. It is an indication of a breakdown of classical Newtonian dynamics. In this respect, we choose the HI observations of a late type galaxy, ESO138-G014, to test the rotation curve within the MOND framework which leads to "MOND RC". We ask whether ESO138-G014 is compatible with MOND or dark matter is still favorable for the galactic rotation problem. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC
Gold-compensated high resistivity silicon as low-loss microwave substrate
No full textDeep level doping compensation concept using elemental gold is utilised to create effectively high resistivity silicon substrates for the use in GHz range. Bias-dependent substrate losses associated with parasitic surface conduction is fully suppressed, indicated by the constant attenuation loss of 0.19 dB/mm at 40 GHz for the coplanar waveguides fabricated on the substrates. In addition to that, the incorporation of slow-cooling treatment in the annealing procedure proves that further increase in substrate resistivity can be achieved for Czochralski-grown silicon substrates, rising up its potential as one of the alternative substrates for radio-frequency monolithic microwave integrated circuits applications.</p

The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Final word on Jersey Dutch
No full textIn this article, William Z. Shetter compares and contrasts the dialects that developed between different Dutch colonies in the New World. He explores in-depth the nuances of Jersey Dutch, and provides theories to explain how Dutch and colonial languages blended.

Nexus of political issues towards behavioural patterns on social media: a narrative literature review among Gen Z in Malaysia / Nurul Nabilah Izzati Hashim
No full textThe widespread use of social media in Malaysia has created significant political issues due to its interactive and interconnected nature. The use of social media has become an essential part of our daily lives as a source of information for Generation Z known as Gen Z, introducing a pressing political issue concerning its impact on behavioural patterns. They are commonly employed to engage with the influence of political issues that facilitate discussions and the sharing of thoughts and stances on political matters. However, the spread of misinformation on social media is a significant concern that substantially influences political behavioural patterns in Malaysia. The rise of miscommunication often targets younger demographics, including Gen Z, who undoubtedly shape their political attitudes, issues, and beliefs. This research examines social media's influence on political issues and its impact on behavioural patterns among Gen Z in Malaysia. This study is based on qualitative data obtained through a Narrative Literature Review, drawing from 10 journal articles about the research topic identified using Google Scholar from 2019 to 2023. The findings indicate that Gen Z discusses political issues without filtering the news, a phenomenon of miscommunication and information overload. This, in turn, leads to behavioural patterns characterised by ignorance and skepticism. It is crucial to understand the complex relationship between social media, political issues, and the behavioural patterns of Gen Z
An analysis of the relationship between the international economic-legal regime and the achievement of balanced and stable growth through the international economic cycle
No full textThe global economy is controlled by an 'international economic–legal regime' (hereinafter
"IELR"), in which international economic institutions (hereinafter "IEIs") are the major nonstate
actors. They provide the rules of the game for the interaction of the States in an
international economic scenario. These IEIs, through their institutional capacity, enhance
certainty and predictability within the IELR, thereby passively supporting stable and a balanced
growth of global economy.
This thesis argues that opportunities to achieve stable and balanced growth, in which both the
financial and the real side of the economy grow, can be improved if the IEIs increase their focus
on the relationship between the Economic Cycle and the IEIs' institutional role. This argument
is developed by analysing the relationship between the IEIs' institutional role and the Economic
Cycle, first describing the Economic Cycle, and then clarifying the functioning of the IEIs in
their institutional role. To narrow the scope of this research, this thesis takes two IEIs as case
studies; namely, the IMF and the WTO
