Assim como a Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, a Política Estadual de Recursos Hídricos do Pará (PERH/PA) prevê a implementação de instrumentos de gestão, se diferenciando, em nível estadual, pelo estabelecimento de um instrumento extra: capacitação, desenvolvimento tecnológico e educação ambiental. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste capítulo foi relatar a experiência da metodologia empregada no Plano Estadual de Capacitação em Recursos Hídricos no estado do Pará (PECRH/PA). A Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade do Pará (SEMAS/PA), órgão gestor dos recursos hídricos, utilizou como base metodológica do PECRH/PA o CapacitaRH, projeto desenvolvido pela Agência Nacional de Águas e Saneamento Básico (ANA) (Brasil, 2018). Assim, o Plano foi resultado de dados coletados por meio de questionários eletrônicos enviados a quatro entes do Sistema Estadual de Gerenciamento de Recursos Hídricos do Pará (SEGRH/PA): (i) Órgão Gestor de Recursos Hídricos (SEMAS/PA), (ii) Conselho Estadual de Recursos Hídricos (CERH/PA) e suas Câmaras Técnicas, (iii) Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Marapanim (CBHRM); e (iv) Usuários de recursos hídricos. Os 273 respondentes definiram 12 temas diferentes por ano, totalizando 48 temas para o quadriênio (2024-2027). Dessa maneira, o estado do Pará tem avançado na consolidação de ações, projetos e programas participativos destinados à conservação dos recursos hídricos, garantia de seus usos múltiplos e recuperação dos ambientes aquáticos.
DIREITOS HUMANOS E IGUALDADE AVANÇOS E DESAFIOS PARA A COMUNIDADE LGBTQIAPN+: DIREITOS HUMANOS E IGUALDADE
Authors: Barbieri E. , da Guarda T.
Published: December 2024

A luta pelos direitos humanos é fundamental para promover dignidade, igualdade e respeito em qualquer sociedade. Um aspecto crítico dessa luta é a defesa dos direitos da comunidade LGBTQIAPN+, que enfrenta discriminação sistêmica, estigmatização e violência em todo o mundo. Apesar de alguns avanços nas últimas décadas, muitos membros da comunidade ainda enfrentam a negação de direitos básicos, como acesso à saúde, educação e proteção legal. Historicamente, indivíduos LGBTQIAPN+ foram marginalizados, enfrentando repressão desde os tempos coloniais no Brasil até a Ditadura Militar. A criminalização das relações homoafetivas, a discriminação em diversas áreas e a falta de reconhecimento legal ainda são barreiras significativas. Marcos importantes na luta pelos direitos LGBTQIAPN+ incluem os Distúrbios de Stonewall (1969), a criação do primeiro Orgulho Gay (1970), a luta contra a AIDS na década de 1980, a despatologização da homossexualidade (1973) e a legalização do casamento igualitário em várias partes do mundo. No Brasil, momentos cruciais incluem a criminalização da homossexualidade, o surgimento do movimento homossexual na década de 1980, a criação de leis que reconhecem direitos LGBTQIAPN+ e o aumento da conscientização sobre diversidade nas escolas. Embora tenha havido progresso, a violência contra pessoas LGBTQIAPN+ permanece alta no Brasil, tornando-o um dos países mais perigosos para essa comunidade. A luta por direitos não é apenas uma questão de justiça social, mas uma necessidade para o avanço da sociedade como um todo. A continuidade do ativismo é essencial para enfrentar os desafios persistentes e garantir que todos possam viver com dignidade e respeito

Published: December 2024

Due to the increasing stormwater runoff in urban areas, stormwater infrastructure requires modification to address the flash flooding issues. Occurrences of floodwater overflowing the urban drain have urged drainage engineers to re-look its design. Conventionally, the urban drain is designed to free flow following the provided drain slope. This paper is challenging the old design by introducing orifices into the drain. The lesser-known stormwater characteristics restricted by orifices in open drains were investigated. In this case, twenty-four units of terrace houses were selected as the study area with special attention to the 170 m front drain with a dimension of 0.5 m x 0.55 m. The drain was inserted with one to three orifices of 0.45 m diameter separating the drain into one or more compartments. Three scenarios were formulated, namely S1 with one orifice plate at 170 m, S2 with two orifice plates at 86 and 170 m, and S3 with three orifices at 50, 110 and 170 m, from the starting point. Storm Water Management Model version 5.0 (SWMM5) was utilized to simulate and represent the unique characteristics of the three scenarios subjected to a 5-minute, 10-year average recurrent interval design storm. The analysis found that S1 had similar patterns with the existing condition and therefore, was insignificant. However, S2 and S3 demonstrated improved regulation of flow and water level along the drain. Between the two scenarios, S3 repeatedly displayed the most stable patterns, for example, S3 had a tight range of water levels between 0.30-0.34 m (compared to existing condition with fluctuating water levels between 0.32-0.50 m) and a tight range of flows between 0.01-0.08 m3/s (compared to existing condition with wider range of flows between 0.01-0.18 m3/s). The flows in S3 were reduced by half by introducing these series of orifices. These results point to an important finding that orifices were not worsening flood flushing in open drain but capable to regulate the flow and water level better than existing condition without any orifice. The capability of orifices to lower water levels allowing more spaces within the drain channel to accommodate climate-induced floodwater.

Published: December 2024

An experimental study has been carried out in a V-trough solar water heating system (SWHS) equipped with curve shaped riser tubes (CSRT). By adding CSRT, the performance of the V-trough SWHS has improved. Experiments were carried out at different mass flow rates and different pitch values CSRT. Due to incorporation of reflector and shape of riser tubes leads to better efficiency and performance of the collector. In comparison to a plain tube CSRT offers better thermal performance. The results obtained indicate that curve shaped riser tubes have a larger frictional factor and Nusselt number than the plain riser tubes. As compared to the plain tube, the rise in Nusselt number is 41.04% and 49.43% at 100mm pitch, corresponding to a Reynolds number of 5500 and 14500 respectively.

With the growing global demand for energy, exploring alternative energy sources, particularly solar energy, in equatorial regions where abundant sunlight is essential. Solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity, must be optimally positioned to capture the maximum amount of sunlight and operate within an ideal temperature range for efficiency. However, two key challenges must be addressed: ensuring solar panels are consistently aligned with the sun and managing heat buildup, which can reduce performance. This study proposes a specialized optimization system to enhance solar panel efficiency by addressing these issues. The system adjusts the angle of solar reflectors to maximize sunlight exposure. It incorporates passive cooling mechanisms, such as heatsinks and cooling blocks, which are attached to the back of the panels to regulate temperature. Real-time monitoring using Internet of Things (IoT) technology tracks critical parameters, including solar reflector angles, panel and ambient temperatures, light intensity, weather conditions and electrical output. A comparative analysis between standard solar panels and those equipped with this optimization system demonstrates that the latter significantly outperforms conventional setups. The system ensures maximum sunlight absorption, maintains optimal operating temperatures and boosts overall energy production. These findings underscore the potential of the proposed system to improve the reliability and efficiency of solar energy generation in equatorial regions, contributing to more sustainable energy solutions in high-sunlight environments.

Published: December 2024

Phase-change materials combined with thermal energy storage technology can improve energy efficiency. This study aims to analyse heat transfer in thermal energy storage tanks under solidification conditions. This involves developing storage tanks with three different numbers of paraffin balls: 4, 6, and 8 balls) in the TES tank. The tanks were designed for residential use, and the analysis will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approaches to evaluate heat transfer efficiency. This comprehensive investigation seeks to optimise the configuration and operation of PCM-based thermal energy storage systems for residential applications. Increasing the number of paraffin balls resulted in a more uniform temperature distribution and a larger total heat transfer rate due to the larger surface area available for heat transfer; however, fewer paraffin balls led to a more significant pressure drop in the tank. Based on these findings, it is suggested to use a TES tank with a larger number of paraffin balls to improve heat transfer efficiency and temperature uniformity in residential applications.

Published: December 2024

This study explores the application of Heat Pump Dryer (HPD) technology using modified steel drums to improve post-harvest drying processes for Indonesia's rice, which produced 53.63 million tons in 2023. Traditional sun-drying methods are inadequate during the rainy season, leading to significant post-harvest losses due to high moisture content. The HPD system maintains drying temperatures below 50°C, enhancing product quality by safeguarding structural integrity, color, and aroma. Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental validation, we analyze airflow and temperature distributions, determining optimal conditions for drying efficiency. Findings indicate that increased airflow velocity and inlet temperature improve heat transfer while effective insulation minimizes energy loss. This research provides crucial insights for modernizing Indonesia's post-harvest technologies, potentially enhancing food security and reducing agricultural waste. Future studies should focus on scaling these innovative methodologies for broader agricultural applications.
CFD Modelling and Simulation of the Thermal Management in a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell Stack
Authors: Kabouchi Kaoutar , Ettouhami Mohamed Karim
Published: December 2024

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cells are a promising technology for clean energy conversion due to their high efficiency and low emissions. However, one of the critical challenges in the operation of fuel cells is the effective management of temperature and humidity within the fuel cell stack. Uneven temperature distribution can cause uneven water vapor condensation, leading to performance inconsistencies among individual cells in the stack. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding and control of the thermal and humidity dynamics within the fuel cell stack to ensure optimal performance and longevity. In this study, with the use of COMSOL Multiphysics, a mathematical polymer exchange membrane fuel cell stack model is designed and is applied to assess the thermal control of a stack of polymer exchange membrane fuel cell made up of two end plates, five membranes electrode assembly, and five cells. The boundary conditions are established and the mathematical equations are numerically solved. The obtained results indicate that that the thermal and electrochemical performance within the fuel cell stack is significantly influenced by the distribution of cooling flow and gas reactants. Higher temperatures near the outlet highlight the importance of optimizing cooling strategies to prevent overheating and ensure uniform temperature distribution. Moreover, the observed variations in relative humidity suggest that water management is crucial for avoiding flooding, particularly in the first and last cells. This study also reveals the intricate relationship between temperature, humidity, and gas flow, which must be carefully balanced to prevent performance degradation. These insights suggest that optimizing the thermal and humidity management strategies is crucial for improving the durability and reliability of polymer exchange membrane fuel cell stacks.

Published: December 2024

Modern smartphones are used for a wide range of demanding tasks, such as gaming, high-resolution photography, and internet browsing, which significantly increases their power consumption. This excessive power use leads to higher heat generation within the device, typically between 2 and 6 watts. To manage this heat and maintain optimal performance, smartphones employ various cooling techniques. A new mobile cooling method could use innovative approaches like advanced phase change materials, liquid cooling systems, or emerging technologies such as thermoelectric and microfluidic cooling. This paper proposes a new cooling method using phase change materials. This approach leverages the material's ability to absorb heat by transitioning from a solid to a liquid state and vicecersa. This helps keep the device's temperature below 45 degrees Celsius. In mid-range smartphones, cooling methods such as natural convection, indirect heat-pipe cooling, and forced convection are commonly used, but these methods often fail under high-power usage conditions.

Published: December 2024

The economic crises and instability caused by the conflict in Yemen prevents the establishment of medium and large-scale water desalination plants to overcome the sever water scarcity in the high population major cities. This paper investigates small scale solar still water desalination technology as a potential candidate to aid with the production of fresh water to reduce the accelerated depletion of underground water reserves in Yemen. Water stills have the advantage of low capital cost and no operational cost as it utilizes the high solar radiation intensity in the coastal areas to evaporate water. This paper proposes and compares two models to simulate the performance of solar still following steady-state and transient modelling approaches, with in-depth evaluation of the different parameters affecting the performance. The transient model showed better prediction of the temperature profiles of the solar still when compared to other experimental and mathematical modelling studies. The small scale solar still showed water production yield of about 1.9 kg/day, with maximum hourly yield of about 0.27 kg/h.
Forced Convection Flow of Nanofluid Within a Partially Filled Porous Straight Channel
Authors: Mahmood Ali Bashar
Published: December 2024

The present study examines the impact of nanoparticle flow and migration on heat transfer within a linear channel containing a partially porous medium. The comprehensive exploration of forced convective heat transfer of nanofluids in a porous channel is not yet fully addressed in existing literature, presenting a significant open research area requiring further investigation. The porous channel is modeled using the Finite Element Method (FEM) for a steady flow, assuming thermal equilibrium between the solid phases and the nanofluid. A non-uniform distribution of nanoparticles within the channel is assumed, leading to the interdependence between the volume fraction distribution equation and the governing equations. A thorough analysis has been conducted on the impact of various parameters, including the Darcy number and Reynolds number. The findings indicate a direct relationship between the Reynolds number and the Nusselt number, with increases in the Reynolds number resulting in higher Nusselt numbers. Additionally, an increase in the Darcy number leads to an increase in the Nusselt number.

Artificial Intelligence can be a tool in serving clients by not eliminating or changing the function and position of the advocate profession by considering, examining the data or documents provided by Artificial Intelligence. Advocates can use Artificial Intelligence to automate data document processing. This includes classifying documents, highlighting important issues, and extracting relevant information from them. By using Artificial Intelligence document processing can be done quickly and efficiently, thereby saving time and costs. With various types of Artificial Intelligence, of course there are errors and losses for users that cannot be avoided. In the use of Artificial Intelligence, it is found that the injured party is the client. With the discrepancy in the data results provided by Artificial Intelligence, this causes the client to be harmed because there is a discrepancy in the data and facts which makes the client feel that there is an error that the data processing robot should have carried out the data analysis to produce result B even though the data.

Legal philosophy plays an important role in bridging the relationship between law, society, and changing times. Rooted in the principle of "ubi societas, ibi ius" which emphasizes that law and society are complementary entities, this study explores the dynamics of legal philosophy in the digital era. Normative research methods with philosophical and conceptual approaches are used to explore how basic values such as justice, human rights, and utilitarianism are adapted in the modern legal system. The digital era presents new challenges, such as data privacy, cybersecurity, and digital justice. Legal philosophy is expected to be able to develop a new conceptual framework to adapt to technological realities, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in law enforcement. In addition, the role of legal philosophy is also seen in the development of relevant regulations, such as the protection of personal data and electronic transactions, to answer the needs of the digital era society. The history of legal philosophy shows a significant evolution of thought from ancient Greece to the modern era, which continues to be relevant in supporting the legitimacy of law and justice. In this era, legal philosophy combines ethics with technology to ensure the inclusivity, transparency, and sustainability of the legal system. This study highlights the importance of technology integration in legal education, improving digital regulations, and innovation of the justice system to maintain access to justice amidst social change.

This research examines the legal protection provided to creditors when a peace agreement is canceled due to unlawful acts by a debtor during suspension of debt payment obligation proceedings. The suspension of debt payment obligation aims to restructure debt and facilitate a mutually beneficial settlement. However, debtors sometimes engage in unlawful actions involving their assets, harming creditors. One such case is Supreme Court Decision No. 440K/Pdt.Sus-Pailit/2024, where PT. Prowell Energi Indonesia, as the PKPU debtor, caused harm to creditors by nullifying a peace agreement. Using a normative legal methodology with a statutory approach, the study finds that the Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payments Obligation Law provides essential legal protection for creditors whose rights are harmed by debtor misconduct. Preventive protection includes applying bankruptcy law principles such as balance and business continuity, requiring debtors to disclose all relevant information honestly and ensure fair remuneration for the administrator’s services throughout the Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payments Obligation Law process. Additionally, repressive protection within the Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payments Obligation Law stipulates that actions by debtors that harm creditors or display bad faith in asset management may result in the termination of the suspension of debt payment obligation process and a declaration of bankruptcy. This research underscores the role of the Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payments Obligation Law in safeguarding creditors’ rights, enforcing debtor accountability, and ensuring a fair and balanced debt restructuring process.
ANALISIS BIAYA DAN MANFAAT PENERAPAN PROGRAM TABUNGAN PERUMAHAAN RAKYAT (TAPERA) INDONESIA
Authors: Nahdi Syahidna , Hidayat Achmad Nur
Published: December 2024

Tapera was a program to help people obtain decent and affordable housing through sustainable and cooperative-based low-cost fund financing. The program required workers to contribute 2.5% to 3% of their income, which was then managed by the People's Savings Management Agency (BP Tapera). This research analyzed the costs and benefits of Indonesia's People's Housing Savings (Tapera) policy. The study employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, with data from BP Tapera, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Bank Indonesia, and other official sources from 2019–2024. The analysis results indicated that the Tapera program could not provide significant economic benefits, as evidenced by a Cost-Benefit Ratio (CBR) of less than one, which showed that the benefits obtained were smaller than the costs incurred. Consequently, several challenges needed to be addressed, including housing price stability, transparency in fund management, and increasing worker participation in the program.  Tapera merupakan program program yang dapat membantu masyarakat mendapatkan rumah yang layak dan terjangkau melalui pembiayaan dana murah berkelanjutan dan ber­lan-daskan gotong royong. Program ini mewajibkan pekerja untuk memberikan iuran sebesar 2,5% hingga 3% dari penghasilan, yang kemudian dikelola oleh Badan Pengelola Tabungan Rakyat (BP Tapera). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis biaya dan manfaat dari kebijakan Tabungan Perumahan Rakyat (Tapera) di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan data tahun 2019–2024 yang bersumber dari BP Tapera, Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), Bank Indonesia dan sumber resmi lainnya. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa program Tapera belum mampu memberikan manfaat ekonomi yang signifikan dengan cost-benefit ratio (CBR) yang kurang dari satu. Ini menandakan bahwa manfaat yang diperoleh lebih kecil daripada biaya yang dikeluarkan, sehingga, terdapat beber­apa tantangan yang perlu diatasi, seperti kestabilan harga rumah, transparansi pengelolaan dana dan peningkatan partisi-pasi pekerja dalam program.

Published: December 2024

This study analyzed the factors influencing employee satisfaction at PT “XYZ”, a building materials distribution company in Indonesia. Using a quantitative descriptive ap­pro­ach, the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and cross-tabulation. Data were collected from 77 respondents through a validated and reliability-tested questionnaire. The results showed employee retention, absenteeism, performance evaluation, productivity, and engagement related to employee satisfaction. High retention rates indicated that satisfied employees stayed longer with the company, while high absenteeism negatively impacted em-ployee satisfaction. Fair performance eva­lua­tions and high productivity posi­tive­ly contributed to employee satisfaction. The study recommended enhancing internal commu­ni­cation, team training, time discipline policies, and workload management to improve em­ployee satisfaction.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi ke­puasan­ karyawan di PT “XYZ”, sebuah perusahaan distribusi bahan bangunan di Indonesia. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif dan dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan tabulasi silang. Data dikumpulkan dari 77 res­ponden melalui angket yang divalidasi dan diujikan reliabilitasnya menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian me­nun­jukkan bahwa tingkat retensi, absensi, evaluasi kinerja, produktivitas, dan keterlibatan kar­ya­wan memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepuasan karyawan. Tingkat retensi yang ting­gi menunjukkan bahwa karyawan yang puas cenderung bertahan lebih lama di pe­ru­sa­ha­an. Sebaliknya, tingkat absensi yang tinggi memiliki dampak negatif terhadap kepuasan kar­ya­wan. Evaluasi kinerja yang adil dan produktivitas yang tinggi juga berkontribusi positif ter­ha­dap kepuasan karyawan. Studi ini merekomendasikan peningkatan komunikasi internal, pe­latihan kerja tim, kebijakan disiplin waktu, dan pengelolaan beban kerja untuk me­ning­kat­kan kepuasan karyawan.
Detecting bubbles in world aluminum prices: Evidence from GSADF test
Authors: Ni Menglin , Wang Xiaoying
Published: December 2024

The aim of this research is to assess the existence of multiple bubbles in the global aluminum market by employing the Generalized Supremum Augmented Dickey-Fuller (GSADF) methodology. This method offers practical time series analysis tools for identifying periods of rapid price escalation, followed by subsequent collapses. Findings indicate the identification of six explosive bubbles occurring between January 1980 and March 2023, during which the aluminum price strayed from its underlying fundamental value. Additionally, this finding is consistent with the asset pricing model, which generally considers both fundamental and bubble components. Based on the empirical results, the aluminum price bubbles are positively influenced by the copper price, GDP, the U. S dollar index, industrialization of China, China’s urbanization rate, whereas the global aluminum production, oil price, and base metal price index have a negative explanatory effect on the aluminum price bubbles. To effectively stabilize the international aluminum price, policymakers are suggested to be vigilant in identifying bubble episodes and monitoring their progression. Additionally, regulatory authorities should implement measures to curb excessive speculative activity during periods of extreme market volatility, thereby mitigating excessive price fluctuations and the formation of aluminum bubbles.
Effect of rice hull amendment in green roof substrates
Authors: Dinçel Hamdi , Ekşi Mert
Published: December 2024

The use of waste and locally available materials could improve the sustainability of green roofs. Therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the potential of a rice hulls in the organic and inorganic portion of green roof substrates. Three substrate mixtures were prepared at the site by mixing locally available materials. The substrate mixtures were designated as RPZV (rice hulls 6:1; pumice and zeolite mixture 2:1; vermicompost 2:1 by volume), PZR (rice hulls 2:1; pumice and zeolite 8:1), and PZV (pumice and zeolite 8:1; vermicompost 2:1). Measurements were performed including plant growth index, chlorophyll fluorescence, biomass accumulation on native and exotic plant species. Increased amounts of rice hulls in the substrate mixture had a significant effect on reducing bulk density up to 24%, increasing organic matter content up to 67% and maximum water holding capacity (WHC) of the substrate, but also had the lowest volumetric moisture values in the field measurements due to increased porosity and permeability of the substrate. Adversely, substrate mixtures with higher rice hull content experienced greater temperature fluctuations during the study period, which have resulted in increased plant mortality and stress for certain plant species during the study. As the organic part of the substrate, rice hulls caused a decrease on the salinity of the substrate by about 28% and provided higher survival rates and lower stress levels for A.schoenoprasum, C.creticus, L.spectabilis, D.chinensis and Sedum species. The results of the study suggested that, rice hulls may have the potential to be used in appropriate proportions due to their low bulk density, low salinity and resistance to degradation, leading to a reduction in the environmental impact of green roof construction.
