Lingkunga yang aman akan menciptakan ketentraman dalam kehidupan bagi seluruh warga atau masyarakat dimanapun berada. Oleh karenanya rasa aman merupakan hal yang penting bagi kehidupan masyarakat karena rasa aman merupakan bagian dari kebutuhan hidup setiap manusia. Di dalam konstitusi negara Republik Indonesia telah menjamin bahwasannya setiap orang berhak atas rasa aman,  namun rasa aman dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat tidak dapat tercipta dengan sendirinya, dibutuhkan peran serta dari seluruh lapisan masyarakat untuk menciptakan rasa aman tersebut. Kepedulian dari seluruh masyarakat sangatlah penting dalam menciptakan keamanan, karna untuk menciptakan keamanan kita tidak dapat mengandalkan aparat saja, mengingat jumlah aparat yang terbatas. Aparat keamanan memang merupakan kekuatan utama dalam hal pertahanan dan keamanan, sedangkan rakyat merupakan kekuatan pendukung. Oleh karena penting bagi kita untuk menumbuhkan rasa kepedulian pada masyarakat agar dapat berperan serta dalam menciptakan keamanan lingkungan. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, maka penulis merasa perlu memotivasi masyarakat khususnya di ke Kelurahan Sribasuki melalui penyuluhan. Terpilihnya lokasi Kelurahan Sribasuki karena  berdasarkan keterangan dari Bapak Marido Najaya, S.E., selaku Lurah Sribasuki bahwa masih sering terjadi tindak kejahatan di wilayahnya.  Kelurahan Sribasuki..adalah salah satu kelurahan dari Sembilan kelurahan yang ada di wilayah Kecamatan Kotabumi, Kabupaten Lampung Utara.

Role of Symbolism in Reader Understanding and Interpretation in Nigeria
Authors: Oson Adebayo
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation is profound, as symbols serve as powerful tools for conveying deeper meanings and themes within literary works. Through symbolism, authors imbue objects, characters, and events with additional layers of significance, allowing readers to engage with the text on multiple levels. Symbolism facilitates the exploration of complex ideas, emotions, and societal issues, often transcending language barriers and resonating with diverse audiences. Moreover, it encourages readers to actively participate in the interpretation process, fostering personal connections and insights that enrich their reading experiences. Consequently, the study of symbolism underscores its crucial role in shaping reader comprehension and interpretation, highlighting its capacity to evoke profound reflections on the human condition and the world around us.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Reader-response theory, semiotic theory and cognitive theory of metaphor may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the role of symbolism in reader understanding and interpretation in Nigeria. Educators should implement evidence-based instructional strategies for teaching symbolism in educational settings, including guided discussion, close reading, and scaffolded instruction.  Educational policymakers should consider integrating symbolism into curriculum standards and assessments to ensure that students develop symbolic literacy skills alongside other critical reading competencies.
The Role of Analytics Solutions in Revolutionizing Procurement Efficiency
Authors: Mufor Sandeu Bryan
Published: May 2024

Purpose: A better understanding of the current state of procurement analytics is the goal of this article. This paper seeks to answer three main questions: first, where do we see procurement analytics going from here? Second, how can we incorporate analytical solutions into the procurement process? Third, what new research directions do we see opening because of thinking about where we see procurement analytics going from here?
Materials and Methods: Using a qualitative technique, this article compiles data from places: a survey of the relevant literature, and a look at several technological platforms both now and in the future This study's procurement analytics landscape predicts that the sourcing and supply chain tech landscape will see more dramatic changes over the next five years. Data integrity and quality challenges are limiting analytics from making substantial advancements, and sophisticated procurement analytics are presently underutilized.
Findings: Findings from this research highlight the importance of companies instituting a unified strategy for gathering and preserving reliable organizational data, drawing on existing resources like expenditure analysis and contract databases. It is also necessary to replace the present haphazard methods of collecting unstructured data with a methodical data governance plan. Managing change and fostering an analytical culture are crucial components of this progression for firms. Many studies and papers that look into the future just predict the technical effects of cognitive analytics and big data in general, without delving into the practical implications, including how they will affect procurement.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The analysis of this study has helped us get a better knowledge of the potential applications of business analytics and cognitive analytics in the procurement process. Additionally, it contributes to the generation of research topics that are pertinent for the future. To contribute to the current corpus of research and industry reports, this study proposes thorough implementation techniques for developing procurement technologies.
Impact of On-Site Sanitation and Siting of Boreholes on Ground Water Quality in Choma Urban: A Case of New Kalundu and Humba Residential Areas.
Authors: Mulungu Choongo , Muyaba Mutinta
Published: May 2024

Groundwater is a climate–resilient source of freshwater for most sub–Sahara African countries and plays a vital role in sustaining improved access to safe water in pursuit of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 – water and sanitation for all by 2030. However, the potential for on-site sanitation to cause major contamination to groundwater has been known for many years, prompting authorities to advise minimum safe distances between boreholes (water sources) and soakaway. This study evaluated the effects of on-site sanitation and borehole placement on the quality of groundwater in residential areas. The study employed an embedded mixed methodology with a descriptive cross-sectional approach. 138 household heads were involved in the study and 15 water samples were collected for microbiological analysis. Data from households was collected using structured questionnaires while upholding all ethical issues. The study found that 85% of households used on-site sanitation systems as their primary means of waste treatment and disposal, while the remaining 15% used other methods like pit latrines. Due to the utility company’s unstable and unreliable supply of water, residents turned to alternative sources of drinking water, such as drilling boreholes and hand-dug wells within and around compounds, using soakaway systems for waste disposal close to the drinking water source. The chi-square tests revealed that the position of the soakaway, as well as the distance between the water sources and the soakaway, have an influence on water quality. The study concluded that establishment of water sources near any pollution source (soakaway) has a negative impact on the quality of groundwater resources. We recommended that local authorities should not permit construction at any plot less than 30 x 30 meters in its dimensions to have both borehole and on-site sanitation system but rather one of the two.

The study is a descriptive correlational research design with a total of 567 participants. A survey questionnaire that contains a total of 55 Likert-type questions was given. The study assessed how the NSTP 11 and 12 courses were implemented, student experiences, how the university’s core values were embodied, and how the NSTP contributed to civic participation and pre-service teacher preparation. The outcomes demonstrated that the NSTP 11 and 12 course implementation was largely positive with some potential for improvement. The evaluation shows that NSTP has contributed in a somewhat significant way to cultivating participants’ sense of citizenship, preparing pre-service teachers, and increasing civic involvement. The factors under study showed only positive relationships with one another. Thus, students at PNU have a positive assessment of NSTP, which is effective in increasing civic involvement and readiness among students. In addition to enhancing students’ political and civic engagement and awareness, the curriculum encourages social responsibility and a dedication to public service.

Computer Technologies and Music Therapy / Tehnologii informatice și meloterapie
Authors: Negrilă Ioan
Published: May 2024

Music therapists who are more likely to use music technology are men who were born between 1970 and 1989. Depending on the specific musical activity, therapists may assume several roles, including facilitator, teacher, collaborator, operator, and producer. One concern is how to maintain the ethical standards of music therapy and social media using computers. The ultimate goal is for the client to get involved in the music production process, this will lead to achieving non-musical goals in other areas through music production. Age and gender are both special characteristics that affect professionals’ willingness and ability to participate in music therapy. Many writers believe that when using technology in music therapy, the therapist is a witness, sound engineer, and producer, sometimes as part of the musical theater team. Music therapists use a variety of technological resources in clinical practice, not only for musical careers but also for evaluation and research. Therapists bring a variety of skills to the therapeutic alliance, but most importantly they understand their clients’ needs and have clear treatment goals. These phenomena have new implications and possibilities for the field and practice of melanoma treatment, which we will discuss partially, but not entirely. Here, therapeutic and educational musical endeavors are associated with recipients. Many research studies in music therapy and technology are also observed as growing interest in the fields of musicology, music, and health, especially in Scandinavian countries, where technology is used in everyday life as a means of promoting health.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the hyperplane method in the problem of partial identification of an unknown substances
Authors:   Institute for Applied Mathematics, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok, Russia, Nazarov V.G.
Published: May 2024

The problem of partial identification of a homogeneous medium of unknown chemical composition is investigated. The medium is subjected to repeated transillumination by X-ray fluxes collimated in energy and direction. According to the results of measuring the flux density of radiation entering and leaving the medium, it is necessary to establish the difference in the chemical composition of the medium from some in advance given substances. It is assumed that the measurements of radiation fluxes contain errors for which their maximum relative values are known. As a mathematical basis for the study the method of hyperplanes proposed earlier by the author is taken. The results of numerical calculations performed for problems of various dimensions and for a number of groups of specific chemical elements. Numerical estimates have been obtained for several groups of organic substances, under which any two substances will be successfully distinguished from each other by the results one single measurement experiment on transillumination. Using the hyperplane method in the identification problem for groups of organic substances showed enough high efficiency. As a result of computer calculations, it is shown that that any of the 1287 considered pairs of organic substances is well distinguishable if the total relative measurement error of the probing radiation flux does not exceed 9.726 \%. The analysis of the dependence of the mass attenuation coefficients of radiation from the atomic number for all chemical elements of the periodic system has been carried out and conclusions about the behavior of the identification accuracy with an increase in the dimension of the problem were done. A justification is given that the hyperplane method will be effective in solving the problem of identification for other groups of chemical elements and identification accuracy does not get worse as the dimension of the problem increases.

Authors: Konstantin Slavin
Published: May 2024

En 2006, el mundo científico celebró el 70º aniversario de la publicación del primer artículo científico del Dr. Moniz sobre los resultados de pequeñas series de pacientes leucotomizados, un acontecimiento que marcó el nacimiento de la neurocirugía psiquiátrica moderna. En las últimas décadas, este campo de la neurocirugía funcional ha sido testigo de una gran popularidad, una desaparición casi completa y, recientemente, un resurgimiento del interés respaldado por los avances en la cirugía y las imágenes. En este artículo, revisamos la literatura actual y la experiencia clínica en un intento de proporcionar una visión general y actualizada sobre el uso de la estimulación cerebral profunda en el tratamiento del trastorno obsesivo compulsivo y otras afecciones psiquiátricas médicamente intratables. Se realizó una búsqueda detallada de la literatura científica actual sobre temas de cirugía psiquiátrica y estimulación cerebral profunda (ECP). Luego se revisó críticamente la información obtenida. La revisión indica que existe un creciente cuerpo de literatura que documenta el tratamiento exitoso de ciertas condiciones psiquiátricas con DBS.

When it comes to estimating, classifying, and forecasting material strength based on changing material parameters, machine learning (ML) techniques have shown to be dependable methodologies. It is found that choosing the right machine learning technique depends on the characteristics of the problem and the available data. Therefore, fifteen different machine learning techniques were used to a specific dataset of concrete compressive strength in order to assess the accuracy of ML models to predict concrete compressive strength. Due to its excellent performance while dealing with continuous target variables and nonlinear interactions among the features and the target, the Support Vector Regressor (SVR) had the greatest prediction accuracy (88.18%) of all the ML methods employed. To guarantee the structural integrity of building projects, it is essential to predict the breaking strength of concrete. The goal of this project is to create a machine learning model that can forecast concrete's breaking strength depending on the mix's composition and curing circumstances. A dataset was created that included details regarding concrete samples, such as mix ratios, curing temperatures, curing times, and breaking strengths. recise estimation of concrete's compressive strength is crucial for the advancement and construction. A bibliometric analysis of the pertinent literature published in was conducted in order to comprehend the state of research in the field of concrete compressive strength prediction. The previous ten years have seen the first research in this sector. The database consisted of 31,35 journal articles published between 2012 and 2021 in the Web of Science core database. The knowledge map was created using Cite Space 6.1R2, a visualisation tool, to analyse the field at a macro level in terms of hotspot distribution, spatial and temporal distribution, and evolutionary trends, respectively. Next, we become specific and separate the prediction techniques for concrete compressive strength into two groups
