“…Corruption is a long-standing problem in human societies, and the search for a better understanding of the processes involved has attracted the attention of scientists from a wide range of disciplines. There are studies about corruption in education systems [11], health and welfare systems [12,13], labour unions [14], religions [15,16], judicial system [6], police [17], and sports [18], to name just some among many other examples [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. These studies make clear that corruption is widely spread over different segments of our societies in countries all over the world.…”

“…According to the 2016-Corruption Perceptions Index [3] (an annual survey carried out by the agency Transparency International), countries in which corruption is more common are located in Africa, Asia, Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe; while Nordic, North America, and Western Europe countries are usually considered "clean countries" [3]. Countries can also be hierarchically organized according to the Corruption Perceptions Index, forming a non-trivial clustering structure [24].…”

Corruptive behaviour in politics limits economic growth, embezzles public funds, and promotes socio-economic inequality in modern democracies. We analyse well-documented political corruption scandals in Brazil over the past 27 years, focusing on the dynamical structure of networks where two individuals are connected if they were involved in the same scandal. Our research reveals that corruption runs in small groups that rarely comprise more than eight people, in networks that have hubs and a modular structure that encompasses more than one corruption scandal. We observe abrupt changes in the size of the largest connected component and in the degree distribution, which are due to the coalescence of different modules when new scandals come to light or when governments change. We show further that the dynamical structure of political corruption networks can be used for successfully predicting partners in future scandals. We discuss the important role of network science in detecting and mitigating political corruption.

The problem raised in this study is the emergence of new phenomena about corruption cases that ensnared Islamic religious leaders in Indonesia. These cases happened because so far Islamic education in Indonesia did not or had not taught anti-corruption. As a result, Indonesia in 2019 was ranked the fourth most corrupt country in the world. Corruption eradication effort cannot be done by law enforcement alone, but prevention efforts in a structured and systematic way must be carried out, and one of them is through early education or early childhood education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find an anti-corruption education model in Islamic religious learning in early childhood education. This research is a qualitative type of phenomenological research. The setting of this study is the Umar Mas’ud Kindergarten located in Sangkapura district of Bawean Island Indonesia. Data collection techniques are done by interview, observation and documentation. Interviews were conducted with 23 kindergarten teachers. Observations were done in anti-corruption classes developed for the Umar Mas'ud Kindergarten in Bawean Island. Data analysis was performed following a descriptive-analytic and interactivity model. The results showed that the anti-corruption education model in Islamic religious learning for Umar Mas’ud Kindergarten is the insertion of an honesty centre in one of the centres, namely Macro-Micro and Honesty centre.

“…An iterative algorithm employing semi-definite programming was applied in [27]. Moreover, based on hierarchical structures mentioned in [28] and [29], a multi-layer hierarchical structure algorithm was proposed in [30][31][32], which made it available to adjust the convergence speed. However, in practice, the system topology is always determined.…”

Adaptive Guaranteed-Performance Consensus Control for Multi-Agent Systems with an Adjustable Convergence Speed

Adaptive guaranteed-performance consensus control problems for multi-agent systems are investigated, where the adjustable convergence speed is discussed. This paper firstly proposes a novel adaptive guaranteed-performance consensus protocol, where the communication weights can be adaptively regulated. By the state space decomposition method and the stability theory, sufficient conditions for guaranteed-performance consensus are obtained, as well as the guaranteed-performance cost. Moreover, since the convergence speed is usually adjusted by changing the algebraic connectivity in existing works, which increases the communication burden and the load of the controller, and the system topology is always given in practical applications, the lower bound of the convergence coefficient for multi-agent systems with the adaptive guaranteed-performance consensus protocol is deduced, which is linearly adjustable approximately by changing the adaptive control gain. Finally, simulation examples are introduced to demonstrate theoretical results.
