Violência Contra a Mulher
Authors: Teixeira Chaves Andreyza , Ramos Pontes Fernando Augusto
Published: August 2024

A violência contra a mulher é um fenômeno complexo e enseja maiores estudos para que se entenda sua múltipla determinação, para uma melhor prevenção e enfrentamento pelos órgãos de segurança e proteção. O objetivo deste estudo é caracterizar o crime de descumprimento de medida protetiva, previsto no art. 24-A, da Lei Nº 11.340/2006, cometidos nos anos de 2019 a 2021, no município de Ananindeua, Pará, e registrados na Delegacia de Atendimento à Mulher. Para tanto, a pesquisa teve caráter documental, e natureza quantitativa e descritiva, sendo analisados dados levantados do Sistema da Secretaria de Segurança Pública do Estado do Pará. Os resultados indicam que há pouca oscilação quantitativa de registros de ocorrências ao longo do período. Os crimes ocorreram com mais frequência no domingo, e no horário da manhã, tendo como autores majoritários ex-parceiros íntimos da vítima. O principal crime praticado em conjunto com o descumprimento foi a ameaça e as maiores violências praticadas foram a psicológica e a moral. O estudo conclui que o descumprimento de medida protetiva é majoritariamente praticado por ex-parceiros íntimos, nos finais de semana, na residência da vítima e tem como principal violência a psicológica. Esses dados são importantes para aprofundar os estudos nesta área e colaborar com a atuação de profissionais que atuam no enfrentamento da violência de gênero.

Authors: Eufrazio Francisco Flavio
Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma análise que permita atribuir significado e identidade aos dados empíricos de negros/as mortos/as entre 2019 e 2021, a partir da identificação de características socioeconômicas, educacionais e empregatícias dos/as negros/as nordestinos/as, a fim de identificar informações qualitativas para conhecer o perfil de negros/as vítimas da violência policial no Nordeste. O trabalho é de caráter documental, calcado em documentação informativa publicada pelos anuários do Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública, pelo Atlas da Violência e pelos relatórios da Rede de Observatórios da Segurança. Mediante análise quanti-qualitativa acerca das Mortes Violentas Intencionais de negros/as, é possível indicar que há no Nordeste uma possível tendência do crescimento do juvenicídio de mulheres negras desempregadas, com baixo rendimento e escolaridade média, que se constitui um problema relacionado a um processo mais amplo, que é o genocídio negro– essa indicação relaciona-se a uma possível tendência de aumento de mulheres negras mortas pela violência policial no Nordeste, em particular na Bahia, Ceará e Pernambuco.
Social Paradigm Shift Promoted by Generative Models: A Study on the Trend from Result-Oriented to Process-Oriented Paradigm
Authors: Zhou Bin
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the transformative impact of generative models on social paradigms, highlighting a shift from predominantly result-oriented frameworks to those that prioritize process orientation.Through a comprehensive literature review, interdisciplinary analysis, and multi-domain case studies, this study examines how generative models influence work, learning, and innovation methods, fostering deeper engagement with process-oriented practices. The findings reveal that generative models diminish the static value of answers by making them easily replicable, while amplifying the significance of inquiry and exploration as dynamic, generative processes. This supports our hypothesis, demonstrating that questioning serves as a critical mechanism linking technical innovation with social adaptation and evolution. Furthermore, a process-oriented paradigm offers a pathway to addressing humanity's "crisis of meaning" by emphasizing inquiry and engagement over static outcomes.This study underscores the profound interplay between technological advancements and societal evolution, calling for intentional and proactive strategies to navigate the implications of generative AI.
A nationwide dataset of de-identified activity spaces derived from geotagged social media data
Authors: Poorthuis Ate , Chen Qingqing , Zook Matthew
Published: August 2024

In this article, we present a historical dataset of activity spaces, originally based on publicly posted and geotagged social media sent within the United States from 2012 to 2019. The dataset, which contains approximately 2 million users and 1.2 billion data points, is de-identified and spatially aggregated to enable ethical and broad sharing across the research community. By publishing the dataset, we hope to help researchers to quickly access and filter data to study people’s activity spaces across a range of places. In this article, we first describe the construction and characteristics of this dataset and then highlight certain limitations of the data through an illustrative analysis of potential bias – an important consideration when using data not collected through representative sampling. Our goal is to empower researchers to create novel, insightful research projects of their own design based on this dataset.
Comprehensive Assessment of Flood Risk and Vulnerability for Essential Facilities: Iowa Case Study
Authors: Grant Cori , Alabbad Yazeed , Demir Ibrahim
Published: August 2024

Of all natural disasters that occur on this planet, flood events are universally one of the most common and most destructive. As climate change and human actions continue to cause the occurrence of flood events to rise, it becomes increasingly important that the effects of flooding are analyzed and understood. In this study, nine different types of critical amenities in the state of Iowa (such as hospitals, fire stations, schools, etc.) were analyzed on a county level in terms of flood depth, functionality and restoration time after flooding, and damage sustained during flooding. These critical amenities were also analyzed on the state level in terms of their location relative to the 100yr and 500yr flood zones. Results show that the number of critical amenities within the flood extent reached up to 39%, and during the 100yr flood scenario all but one of the six chosen counties lost functionality of 100% of their amenities. Most critical amenities were found to have a flood depth of 1 to 4 ft deep and a restoration time of 480 days. The purpose of this study is to bring awareness to decision makers regarding the risk that flooding events pose to critical amenities and highlight the increasing dangers of flooding on a broader scale. This study will be beneficial to improve mitigation strategies, emergency response plans, and ensuring that emergency services and amenities are available in the event of future floods for the affected areas.
Embedding Regression for Comparative Discourse Analysis: Tracing Far Right Ideology Across Media Ecosystems
Authors: Bryant Jesse Callahan
Published: August 2024

This study examines the ideological evolution and convergence in political communication across two of the most influential mainstream conservative and far-right media platforms between 2005 and 2020. It analyzes discursive differences within and between platforms using a novel computational approach that combines a la carte (ACL) word embeddings with embedding regression. Changes in racial and political discourse are measured using data from a large corpus of broadcast news transcripts and online forums. The results reveal an uneven landscape of mainstream radicalization but indicate a significant convergence between mainstream and white nationalist discourse toward the nation and immigration. This study contributes a novel methodological approach to the quantification of political discourse across multiple platforms. Substantively, it extends our understanding about the ways fringe ideologies can diffuse into mainstream political dialogue. Finally, this paper contributes to the scientific study of the evolving nature of conservative media ecosystems in the digital age.
The End of Migration Studies
Authors: Vigneswaran Darshan
Published: August 2024

The discipline of Migration Studies should be dismantled. Migration Studies has made major achievements in explaining why people move across borders and how societies and states adapt and respond to the movement and settlement of people. However, the discipline possesses a deeply problematic and irreparable ontology. Its focus on the 'migrant' and 'migration' as objects of study necessarily predispose the discipline to statist and anti-migrant forms of study. Many previous works have diagnosed this problem and posed conceptual and methodological means of resolving them. This paper explains why these solutions have not works. Migration Studies' ontology continues to be reinforced by the disciplinary apparatus of Migration Studies institutions and associations. Hence, the paper calls for the dismantling of these institutions and associations and proposes ways in which research on human mobility, state power and territory might develop in less politically problematic ways.
Critically Unpacking the Concept of Equity for Open Science
Authors: Bezuidenhout Louise
Published: August 2024

The concept of equity has become central to discussions around Open Science. Key texts, such as the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, foreground equity as the fundamental driver of inclusive and accessible research. Nonetheless, such appeals to equity are rarely unpacked to provide insights into how equity is enacted in research and how equitable research actions can be understood and assessed. This paper problematizes discussions around equitable Open Science, highlighting key challenges for transitioning from high-level appeals to equity to practical action. The paper introduces the Capabilities Approach as a framework through which to critically interrogate how “meaningful openness” can be embedded in research as a means of moving towards equitable research.

Hamilton Cycle on the Wheel Graph
Authors: Anggraini Fadhila , Gemawati Sri
Published: August 2024

This article discusses the existence of the Hamilton cycle in the wheel graph by constructing steps to find the existence of the Hamilton cycle. A graph that has a Hamilton cycle is called a Hamilton graph, A circle graph is a graph where each vertex has a degree of two, denoted by Cn. A graph obtained by adding a central vertex to a circle graph and connecting it to all the vertices of the circle graph is called a wheel graph, denoted by Wn . If the wheel graph Wn  has m where m is the number of  that replaces each point in Wn then it can be denoted by Wmn . Then, in the wheel graph Wmn  is the number of outermost points of Wmn  added to 1 point located in the center. Based on the construction, it is found that there is a Hamilton cycle in the wheel graph. In the wheel graph Wn contains Hamilton cycle for n>=3. Furthermore, the wheel graph Wmn  also contains Hamilton cycle for n>=3 and m>=1, but the image of the wheel graph Wmn is only perfectly drawn for n=2k where k is an integer. This is because there are colliding edges in the wheel graph for n=2k-1 where k is an integer.
The Legal Framework of E-Commerce Taxation in Indonesia and Singapore
Authors: Sudirman Lu , Girsang Junimart , Abao Grace Angela
Published: August 2024

The aim of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the
regulation and implementation of e-commerce taxation rules in each country,
as measured through their impact on the economies of these nations. This
study employs a normative juridical approach. The findings indicate that
Indonesia could benefit from learning from Singapore, one of the leading
Asian countries in terms of economic growth derived from the e-commerce
sector. This serves as evidence of the success of implementing taxation
regulations and legal frameworks related to e-commerce in Singapore.
Minister of Finance Regulation Number 60 of 2022 (PMK Number 60/2022)
represents a strategic step in regulating e-commerce taxation in Indonesia,
granting the government the authority to establish order, fairness, and
sustainable economic growth in the digital era. In response to the
challenges presented by e-commerce, Singapore has made adjustments to its
taxation regulations, even though there are no specific provisions in place
for the digital economy. The guidelines issued by the Inland Revenue
Authority of Singapore (IRAS) serve as crucial reference points for
determining tax obligations in e-commerce transactions, taking into account
factors such as production location and website hosting

Published: August 2024

The abuse of rights by majority shareholders such as controlling the GMS
to withhold dividends, diluting minority shares, or misusing company assets
will be very detrimental to minority shareholders. Therefore, this research
aims to determine the form of protection against abuse of rights by majority
shareholders in family-owned companies in Indonesia and analyze what cases
have occurred related to abuse of rights by majority shareholders in
family-owned companies in Indonesian courts. This research is normative
legal research that uses three approaches, namely conceptual, statutory, and
case study approaches. The result of this research is that to prevent
abusive behavior by the majority, the UUPT provides various legal remedies
for minority shareholders to protect their interests from the actions of
majority shareholders. Despite all the legal remedies available, there are
some weaknesses found in asserting the interests of minority shareholders
and Indonesian Companies. These weaknesses include the possibility of
minority shareholders being undervalued when exercising their appraisal
rights and the inability of minority shareholders to file lawsuits on behalf
of Perusahaan Indonesia against majority shareholders. An examination of two
court decisions shows that courts tend to rule in favor of minority
shareholders' interests. However, the courts do not always hand down the
same rulings as what the minority shareholders are challenging

Effectiveness of Virgin Coconut Oil Application in Non-Therapeutic Pain Management of Infants by Using NPASS Pain Score as Parameter: An Integrative Review
Authors: Chua Mei-Nee , Yee Bit Lian
Published: August 2024

Background: There has been greater emphasis in recent years on the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in soothing infants and reducing pain perception in preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). While approaches ranging from swaddling, breastfeeding, to sensory stimulation have encountered limitations in their effectiveness and practical application across different settings; Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) has concurrently emerged as a potential non-therapeutic remedy for pain management in infants, thanks to its unique composition. Researchers are investigating its safety and effectiveness as an alternative pain management option for neonates. To answer the following questions: (i) can virgin coconut oil effectively help improve skin dryness and irritation in infants? and (ii) how does the effectiveness of virgin coconut oil compare to standard care in neonatal pain management?
Methods: A search of the existing literature was done on online databases using keywords to narrow down the articles.
Results: Based on the selection criteria, 24 articles were selected to be included in this paper. Three main points can be observed that is on: (i) the properties of VCO in skin barrier function and preventing infection; (ii) recommendations for the use of VCO in infant skin care; and (iii) in pain management of neonates.
Conclusion: There is a gap in the literature for how the pain management of infants and the success of VCO in managing skin conditions in neonates can be further studied to develop standards in managing non-therapeutic pain among infants.
The First-Time Fathers’ Experiences in Early Fatherhood: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
Authors: Nurumal Mohd. Said , Rohim Muhammad Aiman , Jamaludin Sumaiyah , Shorey Shefaly , Noviani Wulan
Published: August 2024

Background: Becoming a father is a stressful transition period for men, presenting numerous challenges from caring for their newborns to navigating changes in family dynamics. Recently, cultural expectations have shifted, transforming the role of the father from primarily being a breadwinner to being more actively involved in parenting. There is growing evidence that first-time fathers encounter various obstacles and have unmet needs during the parenting period. Thus, before encouraging fathers in society to take on more active parental roles, it is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of their support needs, experiences, and challenges. This study aimed to explore the experiences of the first-time fathers in the early parenthood.
Methods: A semi-structured interview was conducted with ten participants residing in the community of Kuantan, Pahang. The data was analyzed using a content analysis approach to emerge the themes. Results: Four themes and 18 sub themes emerged from this study, elucidating the experiences of first-time fathers in parenthood. These themes are: Adaptation and changes, Paternal involvement, Challenges and coping mechanisms, and Support and needs of first-time fathers. This study reveals that entering parenthood as a first-time father can be highly challenging. Despite a clear lack of preparation for their roles, the participants demonstrated good coping mechanisms and generally regarded the experience positively.
Conclusion: The findings highlight the necessity for targeted support systems and resources tailored to first-time fathers to help them navigate the transition into parenthood more smoothly. It is recommended that healthcare providers, policymakers, and community organizations develop programs and interventions that address the specific needs of new fathers, including education on newborn care, emotional support, and strategies for balancing work and family responsibilities. By doing so, society can better support first-time fathers in their evolving roles, ultimately benefiting the entire family unit.
Knowledge of Testicular Cancer and Practice of Testicular Self-Examination Among Undergraduate Male Students During Pre and Post Intervention
Authors: Zahidi Mohd Yusuf , Ahmad Azmir
Published: August 2024

Background: The less promotion on testicular self-examination (TSE) among men may contribute to the increase in testicular cancer cases (TC). While TSE could contribute to early detection of TC, its practice is disappointing among young adults. This study aimed to compare the level of knowledge and practice of TC and TSE, respectively, among IIUM Kuantan undergraduate male students at pre-test and post-test of educational intervention.
Methods: Data collection for pre-test was conducted among 245 male students using a self-administered questionnaire. Videos regarding TC and TSE were given to the respondents as educational intervention. A post-test questionnaire was distributed among the respondents after two weeks of intervention. Knowledge and practice levels at pretest and posttest phases and their association with Kulliyyah background were statistically analyzed.
Results: The score level of knowledge and practice on TC and TSE were 35.31 ± 3.16 and 16.65 ± 3.42, respectively, at pre-test, indicated borderline level between low and high. The post-test showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) in the level of knowledge and practice on TC and TSE with score level of 36.79 ± 2.63 and 18.98 ± 4.60, respectively. There was no significant difference between these results and Kulliyyah background.
Conclusion: The study showed a significant improvement in the level of knowledge and practice of TC and TSE, respectively, among undergraduate male students in IIUM Kuantan Campus. Thus, this study provides a preliminary result on importance of promoting TC and TSE among young adults as a preventive measure in curbing the TC cases from increasing.
Doing our work in a good way: a framework of collaboration and a case for Indigenous-only writing classrooms
Authors: Toorenburgh Lydia , Gaudet Loren
Published: August 2024

Since fall of 2021, UVic has offered a section of the foundational writing course, ATWP 135: Intro to Academic Writing that is dedicated for Indigenous students. This course provides a space for first-year Indigenous students to find a sense of belonging with each other and in the university more broadly, experience anti-oppressive grading practices (Gaudet 2022), develop the confidence to access Indigenous student supports, and navigate the broader institution. In this article, the authors (an Indigenous staff working as the Tri-Faculty Indigenous Resurgence Coordinator and a non-Indigenous faculty serving as the course instructor) discuss the development, delivery, and impact of this initiative. We share an example of promising practice for institutions to consider in the interest of supporting Indigenous student success and retention. In doing so, we also offer a model for collaboration across disciplines and across cultures based on shared values of vulnerability, openness, and honesty.
Inked: Graduate Writing Groups as Writing Centre Pedagogy
Authors: Cournoyea Michael , Samuels Boba , Calloway David
Published: August 2024

In the post-pandemic era, Canadian writing centres are ideally positioned to organise and support graduate writing groups. At the University of Toronto’s Health Sciences Writing Centre, we have begun offering a weekly, multidisciplinary graduate writing group for students in the health sciences. Inked: the Health Sciences Writing Collective aims to bridge the gap between high-commitment co-working groups and low-commitment accountability groups. We outline how the group emerged, how it addresses graduate challenges, and how it builds self-efficacy and community among members. We argue that this move to group-centred, indirect instruction presents an exciting direction for writing centre pedagogy in Canada.
Teaching and Learning in a First-Year Writing Skills Transfer Course: Investigating College Professor and Student Experiences
Authors: Tremblay Taunya , Zeppa Jamie , Blake Shannon , Bolton Kiley , Ohlsson Katarina , Dalton Christine , Yeoman Victoria , John Lavaughn
Published: August 2024

When Seneca Polytechnic replaced EAC150, an essay-based English course, with COM101, a first-semester writing course based on writing skills transfer, we saw the opportunity to investigate both professors’ and students’ experiences of the new approach. Specifically, we wanted to know how professors conceptualized and taught COM101 and also how students connected their writing for COM101 with other writing they did at Seneca, their workplaces, and in their personal lives. From 2018–2020 we conducted qualitative surveys with professors and mixed-method surveys with students and applied inductive, thematic coding to all qualitative data. The data results were encouraging: student responses indicated that COM101 positively affected their writing and reported transferring writing skills to other areas of their lives. In addition, professor responses indicated that they actively engaged with skills transfer pedagogy, despite the fact that COM101 demanded a significant change in approach. In professor responses that indicated resistance to the new approach we found valuable lessons about the core ideas of transfer, including negative transfer, and the difficulties that anyone – professors and students alike – face in new learning situations.
Communications and conflict management in operational and IT projects.
Authors: Rovenska Viktoriia , Smyrnova Iryna , Latysheva Olena
Published: August 2024

The article explores the essence of operational and IT projects and establishes the role of communication and conflict management for their successful implementation. The article identifies that risk, communication, and conflict management are important aspects of the successful implementation of operational and IT projects. The article indicates that conflicts can arise between participants in any project for various reasons, such as differences in views on the performance of work, misallocation of resources, unclear responsibilities, etc. The article proves that in cases of conflict situations, it is important to ensure a proper conflict management procedure that allows you to quickly identify and resolve conflicts between project participants. The article proves that conflict management and effective communication are integral elements of the successful implementation of operational and IT projects. The article suggests ways to manage conflicts in a team and provides principles of effective communication in a project. The article argues that the successful implementation of any project is impossible without effective communication between all project participants, as it allows project participants to share information, solve problems, collaborate, and interact with each other. The article explains the relevance of ensuring information communication between all project participants and stakeholders. The article identifies the possibilities of using modern project management tools to form an effective communication and conflict management system in projects. The article presents the practical use of project management templates to determine the methods and structure of communication that will allow all project participants to interact with each other. The article presents the result of the practical application of the matrix for identifying priority project stakeholders and RACI - a matrix of interaction between project participants, which allows you to define the roles and principles of communication between all project participants, establish a clear role for each participant and responsibility for certain project tasks. The RACI matrix helps to avoid confusion of roles and responsibilities that may arise during the project. It helps ensure that all project participants are clear and understand their roles and responsibilities, which facilitates effective communication and reduces the risk of conflict. The RACI matrix helps to ensure more efficient use of project resources and reduce delays in the implementation of tasks. If each role has clearly defined responsibilities for certain tasks, the project will be completed faster and more efficiently. The article proposes to use modern techniques such as problem discussion, compromise, search for alternative solutions, and others to improve communication and conflict management.
Problems of preservation and development of labor potential in Ukraine under martial law.
Authors: Muterko Hanna , Romashka Iryna
Published: August 2024

In the conditions of martial law, one of the most urgent and important issues is ensuring the effective use of labor potential in Ukraine. Sufficient provision of the state with the necessary labor resources, rational use, high level of labor productivity is the basis for achieving high indicators for achieving innovative development and the strategic goal of sustainable development of the country. Problems in the economy, combined with significant internal displacement and refugee flows, lead to large-scale losses in employment and income. Rising unemployment, social exclusion, gender inequality, and the spread of poverty are among the main negative social consequences of wartime.
Development of labor potential is the process of implementing measures aimed at quantitative and qualitative reproduction of labor potential, its full implementation and effective use. Management of the effective use of labor potential should be based on an assessment of its quality and ensure its improvement. It should be important to develop an effective management system and preserve labor potential, create or improve implementation mechanisms and tools, taking into account issues of education, development of special skills, and above all, raising the level of social protection and security.
The article investigated and summarized the problems of preserving and developing labor potential in Ukraine under martial law. Approaches to the definition of the term "labor potential" have been developed, and the dynamics of changes from prewar to wartime have been tracked. Measures to increase the labor potential in the post-war period are proposed.

The authors examine the etymology of social entrepreneurship and identify different approaches to interpreting its essence. The paper emphasizes the importance of studying and developing social entrepreneurship in the context of large-scale changes and reforms in the country's economic component. The positive aspects and types of social entrepreneurship in the field of their activity are analyzed. The relevance of the issue of growth of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine is emphasized, which is a consequence of political processes in the country in 2013-14 and changes in social views on the development of Ukraine from an economic point of view. Examples of social enterprises in Ukraine are given. It is noted that social entrepreneurship requires a clear legislative definition and development of regulatory mechanisms. The need for tax benefits or other incentives for social enterprises is a matter of debate. However, from a theoretical point of view, providing tax benefits can significantly enhance the potential of enterprises at the initial stage and help to increase the share of invested profits in their activities. Since the organization of social entrepreneurship has its own complexity, tax breaks can help ensure the success of these enterprises. Experts and entrepreneurs themselves see more risks in this area, including the emergence of shadow schemes that allow tax evasion in general. However, as an alternative, it is proposed to take advantage of the Swedish experience and create "incentive packages" that include support from a professional business consultant, a grant to test an idea, and support during the adaptation period and expansion of activities. In general, it is believed that developed countries have a number of government programs, mechanisms, and policies to promote and support social enterprises that can be used as a basis in our country. This approach is a win-win solution for both the state and the social entrepreneur.

The exchange of information between devices in a network is very important for efficiency and collaboration. One technology that supports the exchange of information is File Sharing and Remote Desktop Connection (RDC). This research aims to implement these two technologies in a Local Area Network (LAN) to facilitate file exchange and remote access to computer desktops. File sharing allows users to easily share data and resources between computers on a network. This study examines various methods and protocols used in file sharing, such as SMB (Server Message Block) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol), as well as RDC mechanisms such as RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). This research also explores the security challenges faced in the implementation of these two technologies, including threats to data privacy and the potential for unauthorized access. Implementation begins with a stable and secure LAN network configuration. Then, using file sharing protocols such as SMB (Server Message Block) or NFS (Network File System), users can share and access files between devices on the network easily. Additionally, by utilizing the Remote Desktop Connection service, users can access a computer's desktop remotely from other devices on the network, allowing for efficient system administration as well as access to applications and files located on that desktop. The implementation methods used include configuring network settings, installing and configuring file sharing software and Remote Desktop Connection services, as well as testing to ensure optimal connection and security. Through case studies and experiments, this research proves that the use of LAN as network infrastructure can support high performance and stability in implementing file sharing and RDC. By utilizing a LAN, this research shows that implementing file sharing and RDC can improve operational efficiency and collaboration in the work environment. The results of this implementation are expected to increase productivity and collaboration in a LAN environment by enabling easy and secure access to files and computer desktops from various locations on the network and emphasize the importance of strong security settings and user training to maximize the benefits of this technology in local networks.

The idea of "Quality by Design" (QbD) has attracted much focus among the prescription drugs sectors for sustaining Quality. It acts as a link between the pharmaceutical sector and drug regulating agencies, supporting the shift to a proactive, scientific, risk-based, and integrated method for approaching pharmaceutical product creation. It mostly entails creating formulas and manufacturing procedures to ensure product quality. The design, development, and production of high-quality pharmaceutical goods are areas where QbD can add value. FDA, the Food and Drug Administration & the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) are heavily promoting quality by design (QbD) to reduce the rising costs of development and regulatory barriers to creativity and innovation. The ICH guidelines, the three components that make up QbD's foundation are, (quality risk management) Q9, Q10 (quality systems), and (pharmaceutical development) Q8. As part of the (QbD) approach, the formulation and process are designed and developed using the quality target product profile (QTPP), key quality attributes (CQA), risk assessment, and life cycle management. This review focuses on the basic concept of (QbD) its applications, ICH guidelines, the process of the development of an analytical method using the QbD approach, various RP-HPLC method creation and verification by using the QbD approach, different analytical techniques using QbD and method validation regulation.

This paper considers filtering for linear systems subjected to persistent exogenous disturbances. The filtering quality is characterized by the size of the bounding ellipsoid that contains the estimated output of the system. A regular approach is proposed to solve the nonfragile filtering problem. This problem consists in designing a filter matrix that withstands admissible variations of its coefficients. The concept of invariant ellipsoids is applied to reformulate the original problem in terms of linear matrix inequalities and reduce it to a parametric semidefinite programming problem easily solved numerically. This paper continues the series of author’s research works devoted to filtering under nonrandom bounded exogenous disturbances and measurement errors.

Published: August 2024

We consider a class of well-known high-order trinomial linear difference equations and analyze the non-asymptotic behavior of their solutions under non-zero initial conditions from the unit box. It is shown that, for certain subsets of coefficients in the stability domain, there always exist initial conditions leading to peak, a large deviation of solutions from the equilibrium position, and that these deviations may take arbitrarily large values. Various special cases are studied, numerical examples are presented.

This paper demonstrates that robust control based on only a priori information about the object’s uncertainty can be significantly improved through the additional use of experimental data. Generalized H∞-optimal controllers are designed for an unknown linear time-varying system on a finite horizon. These controllers optimize the damping level of exogenous and/or initial disturbances as well as the maximum deviation of the terminal state of the system. The design method does not require the persistent excitation condition or the rank condition, which ensure the identifiability of the system. As a result, the amount of experimental data can be significantly reduced.
