Sistem Hukum Dan Teori Hukum Chaos, Amir Syarifudin, Indah Febriani Jan 2025

Sistem Hukum Dan Teori Hukum Chaos, Amir Syarifudin, Indah Febriani

Hasanuddin Law Review

Keteraturan alam semesta dan objek lainnya dapat dideskripsikan baik oleh kosmologi maupun fisika. Namun dari keteraturan objek itu terdapat segi atau aspek ketidakteraturan atau fraktal (patah) yang sulit dideskripsikan oleh matematika model Auklides dan Kalkulus. Benoit Medelbrot mencoba menjelaskan objek kacau tersebut dengan teori Fraktal yang pada dasarnya merupakan cabang dari matematika. Teori Fraktal tersebut mempengaruhi pandangan terhadap hukum yang mengilhami Charles Sampford yang kemudian mencetuskan teori hukum chaos. Inti teori hukum chaos ialah (1) hubungan sosial, termasuk hubungan hukum dibentuk berdasarkan hubungan kekuatan (power relation), (2) pihak-pihak yang membuat hubungan itu tidak memiliki memiliki kekuatan yang sama atau seimbang, …

Model Draft Regulation On Cryptocurrency In India, Rahul J. Nikam

Hasanuddin Law Review

This article looks at the application of present Indian payment system policies and regulatory model on virtual-currency in India. In fact, simply banning cryptocurrency in India would not serve the purpose of legislature and Reserve Bank of India (RBI); rather it will boost cryptocurrency frauds in India due to absence of any law. The present article analysis shows that there is an ample scope within the present models and policies with necessary amendments to facilitate the regulation of virtual-currency in India. The analysis also suggests new model regulation on cryptocurrency which shall constitute the basic model regulations in India to …

Critical Legal Reading Of World Anti-Doping Agency’S Gene Doping Guidance, Ahmad Saad Ahmad Al-Dafrawi Jan 2025

Critical Legal Reading Of World Anti-Doping Agency’S Gene Doping Guidance, Ahmad Saad Ahmad Al-Dafrawi

Hasanuddin Law Review

The genetic barrier negatively affected competitive athletic performance until the advent of gene therapy and genetic manipulation, which cast doubt on and impacted the legitimacy of sporting events. At that a critical point, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) interfered in such experimentation and application with a serious attempt to curb the problem and set things back on track with the healthiest standards in light of bioethics. However, the major problem that the agency has encountered and which this legal study wants to raise, and address is the legal consequences that result from the lack of a reliable method that provides …

Research On Path Planning Method For Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Based On Improved Informed Rrt, Bensheng Qi, Yan Li, Hongxia Miao, Jialin Chen, Chenglin Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In response to the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) path planning problem in complex underwater environments, an improved path planning algorithm based on Informed rapidly-exploring random trees (RRT) is proposed in this study. A target-biased sampling strategy and a target-biased extension strategy are employed to address the issue of lack of goal orientation in the sampling process, ensuring that target nodes become sampling points during random sampling. During path points extension, non-target sampling points are guided in the direction of the target point, thereby enhancing the algorithm's ability to search for the target during random sampling and extension processes. A …

A Sensitivity Analysis Of The Modeling Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission In Galaxies, A. Maragkoudakis, C. Boersma, P. Temi, J. D. Bregman, L. J. Allamandola, Vincent J. Esposito, A. Ricca, E. Peeters

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

We have conducted a sensitivity analysis on the mid-infrared spectral decomposition of galaxies and the modeling of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission spectrum with the NASA Ames PAH Infrared Spectroscopic Database (PAHdb) to assess the variance on the average galaxy PAH population properties under a grid of different modeling parameters. We find that the short-low and short-low+long-low Spitzer-IRS decomposition with PAHFIT provides consistent modeling and recovery of the 5–15 μm PAH emission spectrum. For PAHdb modeling, application of a redshift to the calculated spectra to account for anharmonic effects introduces a 15%–20% variance on the derived parameters, while its …


Scaling Arctic Landscape And Permafrost Features Improves Active Layer Depth Modeling, Wouter Hantson, Daryl Yang, Shawn P. Serbin, Joshua B. Fisher, Daniel J. Hayes Jan 2025

Scaling Arctic Landscape And Permafrost Features Improves Active Layer Depth Modeling, Wouter Hantson, Daryl Yang, Shawn P. Serbin, Joshua B. Fisher, Daniel J. Hayes

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Tundra ecosystems in the Arctic store up to 40% of global below-ground organic carbon but are exposed to the fastest climate warming on Earth. However, accurately monitoring landscape changes in the Arctic is challenging due to the complex interactions among permafrost, micro-topography, climate, vegetation, and disturbance. This complexity results in high spatiotemporal variability in permafrost distribution and active layer depth (ALD). Moreover, these key tundra processes interact at different scales, and an observational mismatch can limit our understanding of intrinsic connections and dynamics between above and below-ground processes. Consequently, this could limit our ability to model and anticipate how ALD …

The Fathers Have Eaten Sour Grapes: History Is The Wrong Test For Establishment Clause Questions In Public Schools, Abigail Riddle Jan 2025

The Fathers Have Eaten Sour Grapes: History Is The Wrong Test For Establishment Clause Questions In Public Schools, Abigail Riddle

Arkansas Law Review

The old quip goes, “As long as there are math tests, students will pray in the schools.” There is, however, a distinction between private and public prayers; the former allows religious students to find peace and comfort in a moment of anxiety, and the latter openly divides the religious majority from the religious and nonreligious minority, ostracizing the minority and exacerbating their nerves. This Note examines the constitutionality of religious exercises initiated by public school faculty and staff at public education’s founding, arguing that the special considerations present when considering prayer in these contexts are too important to be limited …

Earth's Shadow Will Blanket The Moon During A Lunar Eclipse On March 14, Erik Johnson Jan 2025

Earth's Shadow Will Blanket The Moon During A Lunar Eclipse On March 14, Erik Johnson

Natural Science Faculty

A lunar eclipse is happening on Pi Day this year.

Lunar eclipses occur when Earth lines up between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Moon to fall in our planet’s shadow. Although the Moon gets much darker, we can still see the shrouded satellite glow red and orange during a total eclipse. Earth’s atmosphere refracts sunlight, changing its trajectory and allowing some light to shine on the Moon. This is the light we see at dawn and dusk, when the sky turns from blue to yellow or orange. Thus, the eclipsed Moon is illuminated by all of Earth’s sunrises …
