Objetivos de las Adquisiciones del Estado desde una Panorámica Internacional. ¿Por qué Controlar las Compras y qué causa su deficiente Medición?
Authors: Ochsenius Robinson Iván
Published: October 2023

Probablemente de acuerdo al enunciado de este artículo, algunos se preguntarán ¿acaso las compras gubernamentales tienen algún otro objetivo que no sea el de suministrar insumos al aparato estatal para que este último

pueda cumplir su función social? La respuesta es sí, los tiene. Asimismo, y

para que tales objetivos puedan ser alcanzados, necesitará imperiosamente

que éstos sean medidos, disponiendo de su información para enmendar y

mejorar sus resultados futuros.

La razón de este artículo es ahondar en la relevancia y objetivos de las

adquisiciones públicas desde varios organismos internacionales, destacando

su situación general en los países de la Unión Europea y América. Además

se expone la trascendencia del control en esta materia, sus barreras de

aplicación, y su indispensable labor para lograr un proceso como el

demandado actualmente.

Al presente, se evidencia un gran número de administraciones que todavía

no tienen claridad sobre qué, cómo y a quién están comprando, además

de cuánto se está gastando, escenario que propicia las disfunciones actuales

en esta temática, y exige a la vez una indispensable medición y control de

su actuar.

Authors: Muhammad Imran Majid  , Naeem Shahzad
Published: October 2023

Water is an essential component in the manufacturing of oral solid dosage forms in the pharmaceutical industry. The objective of the present study is to develop a compact and easy-to-maintain one-platform solution for generating high-purity water with near to zero Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and low conductivity for pharmaceutical applications. To achieve this objective, different purification methods were explored and integrated into a single platform. The purification process involved the use of Electro-Deionization (EDI) in combination with double-pass Reverse Osmosis (RO), an activated carbon filter, water softeners, and micron filtration. The resource water was carefully selected based on specific criteria to ensure the quality of the final purified water. The developed one-platform solution successfully produced purified water with near to zero TDS and a conductivity level below 1 micro siemens/cm2. The integrated approach involving EDI and double-pass RO, along with supplementary filtration and treatment steps, proved to be highly effective in achieving the desired purity levels. The study demonstrated that the suggested one-platform solution is a reliable and efficient method for the production of high-purity water in the pharmaceutical industry. This system offers an easily maintainable and compact solution, making it suitable for various other industries such as semiconductor manufacturing and electric power generation where purified water with zero TDS is required. By providing a robust water purification process, this solution contributes to enhancing the quality and safety of pharmaceutical products and other critical applications that rely on ultra-pure water.

A Study of the History, Functions, Roles, and Challenges of Human Resources Management
Authors: Ochieng Evans Mwiti
Published: October 2023

Human Resource Management (HRM) is a critical organizational function that encompasses the processes of recruitment, retention, and motivation of personnel. The primary emphasis is placed on individuals within organizational contexts. Human resource management involves the development and implementation of management systems that aim to optimize the use of human potential in so as to get the objectives of an organization. Human resource managers oversee the crucial element of a thriving organization: a productive and thriving staff. This necessitates seeing humans as valuable assets rather than just financial burdens for the firm. Similarly, much like any other valuable resource, highly skilled personnel may be properly used to enhance the overall worth of a firm. A well-managed human resources department plays a crucial role in providing organizational structure and capacity to address business challenges, particularly in the management of the organization's most valuable assets: its workers. There are several fields of study associated with human resources. Nevertheless, specialists in this domain may do multiple tasks including the six fundamental functions within their respective roles. In societies without a dedicated human resources department, it is feasible to get a comparable level of managerial performance and workforce by redistributing human resource functions or affiliating with a professional organization.
The Impact of Social Media on Communication and Marketing Strategies in the Digital Age
Authors: Zhao Xuan
Published: October 2023

The introduction of social media has changed how individuals engage and absorb information. This has produced a more democratic and inclusive society where different viewpoints are represented in public discussions. Due to the increased number of social media users, marketing has become a critical strategic pillar for companies. To understand the meaning, variety, and application of social media marketing, it is crucial to understand the characteristics of social media. The main purpose of social media is to facilitate the creation and distribution of content based on user-to-user social interaction. Through campaigns and advertising on social media networks, companies can attract and acquire new customers. This process is known as social media marketing. To maintain focus while expanding their social media footprint, businesses should have a social media strategy. Companies are anticipated to prioritise live streaming as a top marketing priority in 2023 since it has grown to be a significant channel for content consumption. Companies should work to provide high-quality material that clearly tells their company narrative if they hope to fulfil their live-streaming marketing objectives. A strong content strategy is crucial now more than ever because more and more companies are producing live broadcasts. To improve customer happiness and loyalty, businesses may optimise their content strategy by continuously tracking and analysing consumer feedback and interactions.
A Proposal of Body-Specificity Hypothesis in Chinese Culture: Does Mandarin Have Different Metaphors in Handedness??
Authors: Liu Xuanchen , Chen Xingtong
Published: October 2023

This paper shows the different results of the Body-Specificity Hypothesis in Chinese culture. Chinese have other metaphors on the left and suitable compared to western countries, which may affect their choice of the dominant hand side as the positive side. In this paper, we settle an experiment, and the results show that culture will influence people. A Chinese person, even a right-handed person, will think that the left side symbolizes the positive side (And different ages will have different degrees of cultural influence). Chinese participants show the opposite result due to their diverse culture from western countries.

Comparative Analysis of Chinese Bei Construction and Japanese Passive Tense Based on the Type of Patient
Authors: Zhu Chenyue
Published: October 2023

Comparative analysis has always been a hot topic in Second Language Acquisition (SLA), however most studies focus more on comparing language structures between Chinese and English, with less attention to the Chinese and Japanese. Therefore, the present study will do a comparative analysis between Chinese Bei construction and Japanese passive tense based on the type of patient to firstly find the interaction between structure form and function, then analyze the differences and similarities, finally using examples from the HSK dynamic composition corpus to discuss the underlying reason for causing acquisition errors by Japanese Chinese learners.
The First Nature of Language
Authors: Qi Ruiying
Published: October 2023

The first nature of language function is often considered to be communication. But with the rise of cognitive linguistics, whether the primary function of language is externalized communication or internalized thinking has been re-examined. This paper focused on what is the first function of language, and argued that the thinking function should remain the top priority. Based on theories of generative grammar from Noam Chomsky, it redefines the key concepts of language, thinking, and communication, discusses the superiority of language for thinking and the shortcomings of language for communication, and reveals the direction of language evolution by natural selection, and compile a series of evidence to justify the top status of thinking function by comparing the common peoples thinking ability and the auditory disableds thinking ability. Besides, another possible communicative pattern, direct brain-to-brain communication (DBBC) was also introduced to prove there might emerge a better way for communication. It is hoped that this will paint a possible picture of the development of language function science and provide an organic extension for the subsequent discovery of language function. At the end the paper finds out the first nature of thinking is plausible and tangible, conforming to the evolutionary tendency of human language. More researches are expected to provide more direct proofs approving the arguments.
A Study on the Correlation Between Third-wave Feminism and the Riot Grrrl Movement in the 1990s in the United States by Analyzing Bikini Kill and Bratmobile
Authors: Wu Xiaoyu , Zhao Zhun , Zhao Jinxi , Xie Tian , Huang Zihang Jason
Published: October 2023

The main goal of this paper is to dive into the 1990s and try to understand the interrelation between third-wave feminism and the musical and political movement, Riot Grrrl, through careful analysis of two representative bands of the movement. With the understanding established, the paper would then try to analyze the reasons why the movement was ephemeral. Bikini Kill and Bratmobile, two specific bands symbolic of the Riot Grrrl movement would be investigated to appreciate the values of the movement with an analysis of their songs lyrics and live performances. Another close look at the mainstream media as well as male rock stars and listeners would be taken with the hope of gaining specific insights into the reasons and steps for the rapid decline of the movement. The result of the study shows a complex relationship between the Riot Grrrl movement and third-wave feminism that happened around the same period, in which neither one was fully dependent on the other and both promoted the improvement of the other. The ephemeral existence of the Riot Grrrl movement was also a direct cause of the young activists, weary of misinterpreted publicity, choosing their results not by their own will, but due to pressure from public media. In the intercorrelation of third-wave feminism and the Riot Grrrl movement, both movements affected each other in a way that feminism provided the foundation for which Riot Grrrl movement and Riot Grrrl reversely provided strength and intensity third-wave feminism with its distinct features of directness as well as auditory and visual violence. Despite similarities between the two, the Riot Grrrl movement eventually diverges away from third-wave feminism, withering away from history due to criticism that resulted in Riot Grrrls rejection of the mainstream criticism and misrepresentation of their images while leaving remnants of their rebellious spirit and distinct music that people today still are affected by.

Published: October 2023

The outbreak of COVID-19 affected the lives of all sections of society and caused serious implications for mental health. The aimed study was to investigate and analyzed the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the life of students. This cross-sectional survey was conducted from October - December 2020 on 472 students. We prepared the questionnaire addressing some factors such as demographic, education, social life, and mental health. The p < 0.05 was considered significant. The average age was 20.45, and 70% of participants were females. Approximately 23% of students referred to present problems with depression, fear, and anxiety during COVID-19. The mean value of PHQ9 resulted in the moderate range while the mean GAD7 score was in the mild range. In females, 61% are more likely to be affected by mental health during this worldwide pandemic compared to males 39%. The findings of this study identify mild levels of anxiety and depression in students. These mental health levels were related to a combination of pandemic-related stresses and limitations caused by the lockdown, negative impact on social life, poor social communication, and disturbed sleep habits. However, we strongly recommend providing students support by academics and stakeholders to reduce the likelihood of longer-term problems.

Authors: Qing Fang
Published: October 2023

Currently, it is difficult to reflect medical professional values for the labor cost accounting under the framework of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) payment in public hospitals, and labor cost control is also relatively weak. The present study is conducted to explore new ways of labor cost accounting and control. The point cost method based on resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) was used to calculate the labor cost related to diagnosis code of GD29 (appendectomy) by literature research and case analysis. It is estimated that the labor cost for the diagnosis code of GD29 is 6374.558 CNY. The point cost method based on RBRVS is feasible in calculating labor cost classified by disease groups, and the implementation pathway for labor cost control is explained on the basis of this method.
TAUCHI-GPT: Leveraging GPT-4 to create a Multimodal Open-Source Research AI tool
Authors: Farooq Ahmed , Kangas Jari , Raisamo Roope
Published: October 2023

In the last few year advances in deep learning and artificial intelligence have made it possible to generate high-quality text, audio, and visual content automatically for a wide range of application areas including research and education. However, designing and customizing an effective R&D tool capable of providing necessary tool-specific output, and breaking down complex research tasks requires a great deal of expertise and effort, and is often a time-consuming and expensive process. Using existing Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) and foundational models, it is now possible to leverage the Large Language Model GPTs already trained on specific datasets to be effective in common research and development workflow. In this paper, we develop and test a customized version of autonomous pretrained generative transformer which is an experimental open-source project built on top of GPT-4 language model that chains together LLM "thoughts", to autonomously achieve and regress towards specifics goals. Our implementation, referred to as TAUCHI-GPT, which uses an automated approach to text generation that leverages deep learning and output reflection to create high-quality text, visual and auditory output, achieve common research and development tasks. TAUCHI-GPT is based on the GPT-4 architecture and connects to Stable Diffusion and ElevenLabs to input and output complex multimodal streams through chain prompting. Moreover, using the Google Search API, TAUCHI-GPT can also scrap online repositories to understand, learn and deconstruct complex research tasks, identify relevant information, and plan appropriate courses of action by implementing a chain of thought (CoT).
Design Process with Generative AI and Thinking Methods: Divergence of Ideas Using the Fishbone Diagram Method
Authors: Maeda Yuhi , Ito Jun'ichi , Kado Keita
Published: October 2023

In 2022, high-performance generative AI — such as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT — were reported upon and released amid increasing momentum for the utilization of such generative AI. In the field of architecture, generative AI is expected to not only be used for task automation, but as a means of diverging ideas as well, especially in the planning stage of architectural design. However, effective application methods have not yet been reported.Therefore, this study proposes a concept-making method that combines generative AI and ways to diverge ideas in architectural design and proposes a tuning method for ChatGPT to enable more effective dialogue. In the proposed method, ChatGPT is involved as a member in group work settings that aims to create concepts and initial designs using the fishbone diagram, one of the ways to list and categorize factors and ideas to achieve goals. In addition, ChatGPT is tuned to obtain more effective factors and ideas, particularly those related to spatial composition and shapes by inputting text regarding architectural design and specific architects.The proposed method was tested via case studies that created concepts and initial designs for an actual architectural competition. The results show that external ideas obtained from generative AI inspire the fishbone diagram process. The concepts and designs created seem imaginative and appropriate for competition.

Published: October 2023

Maintaining a high quality of life through physical activities (PA) to prevent health decline is crucial. However, the relationship between individuals' health status, PA preferences, and motion factors is complex. PA discussions consistently show a positive correlation with healthy aging experiences, but no explicit relation to specific types of musculoskeletal exercises. Taking advantage of the increasingly widespread existence of smartphones, especially in Indonesia, this research utilizes embedded sensors for Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Based on 25 participants' data, performing nine types of selected motion, this study has successfully identified important sensor attributes that play important roles in the right and left hands for muscle strength motions as the basis for developing machine learning models with the LSTM algorithm.
The need of change in complex workplaces of the O&G industry – from controlling human error to understanding the resilience of systems
Authors: Franca Josue
Published: October 2023

Since the first oil drilling in History, the Drake’s well in Titusville, Pennsylvania, until the present-day offshore wells, drilled in the ultra-deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Brazilian Pre-Salt, two aspects have always been present: the notable risks of dealing with crude oil and the need of human adaptabilities in the work systems. From this adaptability, there will be two possible outcomes: the normal work, adaptive and productive, and the accident, unwanted and harmful. For the first, over a long time no attention was given, because if nothing went wrong, (supposedly) there is nothing to do, except to continue working. On the other hand, for this second, the accident, since the first occurrences, dating from the 1st Industrial Revolution, much has been developed, addressed, mainly, on the unwanted action of the human element in a linear system. However, the technological evolution of work systems has transformed linear production lines into current complex sociotechnical systems, where there are intense and dynamic interrelationships between people, machines, and processes, immersed in a distinct organizational culture. In this context, the maintenance of certain linear epistemological concepts for the analysis of risks, as well as the investigation of accidents, seems to be limited, when not mistaken, for understanding and intervening in nowadays complex workplaces. In addition, normal work, that is, work carried out without the occurrence of accidents, as it is what mostly happens, is a notable source of learning, being neglected precisely because it is normal. In view of these considerations, methodologies, and concepts capable of dealing with this, such as FRAM (Functional Resonance Analysis Method) and Safety-I & Safety-II, arises as adequate solutions. In this study, having the O&G Industry as background, some accidents with FRAM are re-examined, as well as some practices of learning from normal work through Safety-I & Safety-II, demonstrating the need of change in complex workplaces of the O&G industry, evolving from controlling human error to understanding the resilience of systems.
A Graded Approach to Simulators: Feature Requirements Mapping to Simulator Types for Nuclear Plant Control Room Research Use Cases
Authors: Gideon Olugbenga , Boring Ronald
Published: October 2023

Simulators function as test platforms for validating a broad spectrum of nuclear power plant operations. This spectrum encompasses tasks ranging from updating existing control rooms to fundamentally designing new ones, incorporating innovative operational concepts. The Simulator Feature Framework introduces a generic list of features to ensure that future simulators facilitate research endeavors that cater to both immediate plant modernization needs and the future deployment of advanced reactors (Gideon and Ulrich, 2023). Conducting research via control room simulators requires different simulator types, each varying in fidelity. Integrating the complete set of features outlined in the Simulator Feature Framework into all simulator types could escalate acquisition costs and decrease their commercial appeal for research purposes. A nuanced strategy is required to align simulator types with specific features that adequately underpin the intended research applications. This paper maps five simulator types to the feature categories within the Simulator Feature Framework. By connecting feature categories with simulator types, simulator vendors can incorporate capabilities suitable for distinct simulator tasks without obligatory inclusion of all features. This graded approach harmonizes the cost of simulator acquisition with the anticipated research benefits. Moreover, this alignment equips researchers with a foundational standard for assessing simulators' compatibility with research objectives across varying levels of fidelity. Two use cases are provided to consider simulators for advanced control room development and human reliability analysis data.

Published: October 2023

Historically, horse and equestrian have played an important place in many countries. The horse was used as a vehicle in nomadic communities, in wars, entertainments and races. Turkish domesticated the horse and became the first society to ride horses. Until today, they have used the horse in many games (rahvan, javelin game, horse archery, horse wrestling). The organization of such games have decreased exponentially, yet, international equestrian practices have continued in the world and equestrian types (three-day competition, dressage, show jumping, equestrian endurance, equestrian gymnastics, equestrian riding, reining) have become important. Accordingly, equestrian clothes gained importance and besides the lack of a uniform riding clothing, the clothes varied according to the branches. In this context, the aim of this study is to make literature review on the history of riding, its branches, clothes and the materials used. In addition, the examination of the fabric and model formation of an existing equestrian clothing is also included in the aim of the study.

Published: October 2023

The conflict shows that the escalation tends to heat up marked by a series of attacks on civilians, religious leaders and health workers in July 2022. The problems show relevance and are correlational in government policies in economic development and the Papuan independence referendum. The perspective of the authoritarian approach is transformed into human security based on democracy, security and economic stability. Weak guarding and monitoring of government policies has led to problems and various rejections, including the Law on new autonomous regions. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is to analyze government policies in responding to the Papuan conflict in terms of the counterinsurgency strategy. The writing of this scientific paper uses a qualitative method that emphasizes observing the phenomenon and substance of the meaning of the Papuan conflict phenomenon.The COIN Papua strategy was developed with the concept of a mystic diamond with the addition of supervising and overseeing government policies through a dual control system between the government and the civilian. This is useful for growing Papuan people's trust in the Indonesian government and improving its image internationally. In addition, it requires seriousness in constructive communication, dialogue framing and international diplomacy through the International Parliament for West Papua (IPWP), International Lawyer for West Papua (ILWP), United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) as part of conflict resolution from a historical justice perspective. and memoria passionis

Published: October 2023

A forest is a place where various living things depend. The interests of one creature sometimes clash with the interests of other creatures, causing conflict. The women of Beji Village, Ngawen District, have wisdom in managing forest use conflicts wisely. This study aims to identify, inventory, and criticize the Wonosadi forest utilization conflict resolution model that can provide welfare for all parties. This research seeks to combine legal research with philosophical research. Empirical legal research is carried out by uncovering forest management phenomena so that they can be sustainable and provide welfare for various parties. Philosophical research aims to reveal perspectives, mindsets, and philosophical foundations developed by the people of Beji village, especially their women, in resolving conflicts wisely. The results of the study found that the Beji village community developed a mindset based on an ontological basis that views the forest as not just a collection of trees in the form of mere physical objects, but rather spiritual values. The epistemological basis for understanding the forest is not just using ratios, but at the same time using feelings. Understanding does not aim to master or exploit but to love and admire. The values that form the basis of axiology encourage the perspective of Beji village women in resolving conflicts wisely in the form of values of respect for fellow beings, compassion, caring, cosmic solidarity, and justice. This philosophical foundation is used as a source of material and a source of value for constructing and resolving conflicts based on living law in society (living law).

This paper aims to analyse translation strategies in consumer-oriented texts involving the English-Arabic language pair on two scales, a general scale in light of Newmark’s (1981) semantic and communicative strategies and a cultural scale under Venuti’s (1995/2008/2018) two orientations in translation strategies, domestication and foreignization, to determine both overall and cultural tendencies of the chosen data. The study adopts a functional translation approach as a theoretical framework that serves to determine the purpose of employing different strategies at the macro-level. This examination helps to evaluate whether consumer-oriented texts lean towards a TT reader, i.e., having more communicative and domestication translation rather than semantic and foreignization translation. The results reveal that both semantic and communicative translation frequently occur in the general translation procedures used in the data of GCC in-flight magazines, which are used as a data sample of consumer-oriented texts. As for cultural strategies, the analysis shows that domestication is the predominant cultural strategy when translating these texts, occurring in around 98% of total cultural procedures.

The concept of gamification is increasingly being used in the classroom because of its impact on student motivation and engagement. The purpose of gamification is not to exclusively incorporate digital games, but to gamify activities through some game-based elements such as avatars, badges, virtual points, levels, stories, leaderboards, awards, etc. Although it is an approach with great potential, a review of the literature on the use of gamification in education has shown that it is more common in higher education and less common in schools. Since teachers play a key role in introducing innovations in the classroom, their attitude towards gamification is very important. For this reason, a survey was conducted among a sample of secondary school teachers to investigate their attitudes toward gamification. The paper describes a study conducted among teachers at a vocational secondary school where a previous study of gamification among students had been conducted, which showed that students were very satisfied with the use of various game-based elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and stories. Teachers were asked about the use of gamification in their teaching practice as well as their attitudes towards gamification. The paper analyses the extent to which they are familiar with the possibility of gamification, whether they use game-based elements and/or digital tools for gamification in the classroom, and their reasons for using gamification. The reasons for not using gamification are specifically examined to determine what actions could be taken in the future to increase teachers' adoption of gamification and encourage its use in the classroom.

Cities, which have the characteristic of being a social space, have turned into main centers where inequalities arising from gender roles are experienced over time. However, all individuals living in cities should use public space equally, benefit from the tools of democracy, and behave equally in terms of participation and representation. In most civilized countries where women and men have equal conditions in urban life within the framework of acquired legal rights, these are guaranteed by law. However, the rules determined in this legal framework and the application area do not progress in parallel. Especially in municipalities that provide urban services, it has been a frequently discussed topic that has been criticized from various perspectives, such as the neglect of women’s services, the limited representation of women, and the fact that women are not taken into account in the design of public spaces. In the face of these criticisms, municipalities have tried to tolerate the negativities by increasing the ‘women-friendly’ practices. In the framework, the prepared study aims to identify the ‘women-friendly’ practices of municipalities in Turkey. In the study, the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research techniques, was used. In line with this, the ‘women-friendly’ practices of the cities in the upper, middle and lower developed levels were investigated through the annual report, based on the SEGE index, which shows the development level of the provinces in Turkey. Yalova as the city at the upper level, Afyonkarahisar as the city at middle level, and Kars as the city at the lower level were chosen as the sample and wore the subject of the research. The activity reports of the municipalities responsible for the management of urban-public services in these cities were scanned, analyzed and the findings were presented in tables.

Digital media users, who have integrated digital technologies into their daily lives, represent a broad spectrum of age groups and backgrounds. Digital natives, commonly referred to as individuals who were born and raised in the digital era, have grown up surrounded by digital technologies and are characterized by their deep integration and familiarity with them; while digital hybrids represent a transitional group, consisting of individuals who have adapted to the digital world later in life, either through necessity or choice. Understanding the dynamics between digital natives, and digital hybrids, as digital media users, in the realm of VR games is crucial for game developers, researchers and the gaming industry. This study aims to serve as a foundation for further exploration and analysis of the evolving relationship between these media user groups and virtual reality (VR) games, shedding light on the implications for gamer gratifications and media use in the digital era.
