Prevention of the Corruption Crime through Administrative Enforcement Mechanism against Abuse of Authority by Wahbi Rahman, Sudarsono Sudarsono, Prija Djatmika, Abdul Madjid, Ramalinggam Rajamanickam

“…Where based on the research that has been carried out, it is known that with the development of applicable legal instruments, administrative enforcement against abuse of authority in the form of discretion that causes state financial losses can be used as an instrument to prevent the occurrence of a criminal act of corruption by using the principle that does not override each other,  meaning that if it can be resolved by administrative instruments then criminal law instruments are no longer applied, which is theoretically called the principle of Una-Via or ultra vires, meaning that if a case has been resolved administratively then the opportunity to resolve the case by other legal means is closed.…”

Optimal Asynchronous Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Markov Jump Systems With Actuator Saturation and Nonideal Transition Probabilities by Jiazheng Liu, Yang Yang, Yaru Song

“…Moreover, since it is complex to obtain accurate transition probabilities for the Markov chain of the original system and the hidden Markov model in the observation process, unknown and uncertain transition probabilities are simultaneously considered in both mode transitions and mode observation processes, and a separation strategy is implemented to handle the nonideal probabilities in each process independently. Through the application of Lyapunov equations and linear matrix inequality techniques, sufficient conditions are derived that ensure the resulting system is stochastically stable with/without nonideal transition probabilities and satisfies specific cost bounds under three different initial boundary conditions. …”
