Fuel stations for motor vehicle fuel supply represent objects with an increased risk of fire and explosions. The presence of flammable and combustible liquids and ignitable gases often creates an explosive atmosphere, leading to the possibility of fire and explosions. Numerous causes, such as electrostatic charging, atmospheric discharge, open flames, sparks, smoking, etc., can trigger explosions and fires. Therefore, effective risk management at these facilities is crucial to reduce the hazards of fire and explosions, endangerment of neighboring objects, as well as people at the station and in the immediate surroundings. This paper discusses the significance of proper risk management on these premises to minimize the risk of fire and explosions, safeguard neighboring structures, and protect individuals on-site and in the immediate vicinity.

Published: May 2024

As queixas musculoesqueléticas, em especial as patologias da coluna, são frequentes nos atendimentos reumatológicos ambulatoriais e nas unidades de emergência. Entretanto, sabe-se que os sintomas musculoesqueléticos são insuficientemente avaliados pelos médicos que avaliam esses pacientes. O exame musculoesquelético do segmento axial é fundamental na identificação das patologias, especialmente naquelas com deformidades e déficits neurológicos associados. O exame físico tem como objetivo avaliar as anormalidades, a amplitude de movimento e a força e funcionalidade do paciente. Técnicas como inspeção, palpação e testes especiais são empregadas para auxiliar no diagnóstico. É importante lembrar que o exame físico é de suma importância para o diagnóstico, tanto porque em várias condições tal diagnóstico pode ser realizado sem outros exames adicionais, como ainda por causa da falta de um “padrão ouro” para os exames diagnósticos em outras doenças.

Reconstructing the chest wall following substantial surgical removal is a challenging task for thoracic, oncologic, and reconstructive surgeons. Common indications include breast cancer, radionecrosis, and malignancies affecting fascia, muscle, and sometimes the ribs. Skin grafts are not a favorable choice due to their thinness and unsuitability of the recipient site. Over the past 30 years, a wide range of flaps have been created to achieve sufficient covering and protection of intrathoracic structures.The Tai and Hasegawa technique, developed in 1974, involves using a transverse fasciocutaneous flap taken from the same side of the body in the thoracoabdominal region. Davis and McCraw made modifications to this technique in 1977, and Brown and Vasconez in 1975 revealed the presence of musculocutaneous perforator branches originating from subcostal, intercostal, and lumbar arteries. Baroudi introduced a contralateral thoracoabdominal fasciocutaneous flap in 1978.In the 1980s, muscular and musculocutaneous flaps became widely accepted as the best method for reconstructing the chest wall. However, there have been limited comparison studies published, making it difficult to determine whether musculocutaneous flaps are preferable than fasciocutaneous flaps. Deo et al. (2019) proposed that the fasciocutaneous "thoracoabdominal" flap should be considered as the primary choice.The extended cutaneous thoracoabdominal flap is a straightforward and efficient surgery that can be completed in a single step. It is generally safe and rarely results in tissue death, and its generous mobility and "back-cut" incision facilitate advancement and rotation. However, it has drawbacks such as the inability to carry out an instant breast reconstruction and the presence of lengthy scars on the abdominal wall.

Law enforcement against children as perpetrators of sexual abuse is a complex problem, especially in the study of human rights. This paper aims to discuss the efforts to balance between law enforcement and human rights protection for children as perpetrators of sexual abuse. The research in this paper uses descriptive analytical research specifications with a normative juridical approach method The results of the paper show that law enforcement on this issue is dominated by imprisonment sanctions for children and the protection of human rights is only limited while the child is undergoing the judicial process and criminal period. Meanwhile, the protection of children's rights after serving the criminal period has not been regulated in the law so that it needs to be reviewed through the reform of the Law on Juvenile Justice System. A balance between law enforcement and human rights protection with a progressive legal approach oriented towards the best interests of children needs to be carried out in order to create a fair juvenile justice system for children as perpetrators and victims.

Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Evaluate Climate-Related Risks in Real Estate Mortgage Valuations
Authors:   Data Engineer, NC, USA, Nimmala Rohit
Published: May 2024

Facing the escalating effects of climate change, the real estate industry faces risks from physical perils and shifting towards a low-carbon economic model. These risks have substantial consequences for the assessment and effectiveness of real estate mortgage portfolios. Conventional approaches to evaluating mortgage risk frequently fail to capture the intricate, non-linear connections between climate variables and loan results. In this paper, we present a new machine-learning framework that aims to quantify climate-related risks in real estate finance. We utilize neural networks and gradient-boosting algorithms to forecast the likelihood of mortgage defaults and the potential loss resulting from defaults in different climate stress scenarios. A robust and forwardlooking risk assessment is developed by integrating property-level exposure data, loan characteristics, and macroeconomic indicators. The empirical findings prove that our models perform superior to conventional econometric methods regarding predictive precision and computational effectiveness. The framework offers a robust instrument for investors, lenders, and regulators who aim to effectively address climate risks and enhance their ability to withstand and adapt to an unpredictable future.

Ethico-Moral and Legal Implications of Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage in the Philippines
Authors: Nicol Vincent Orpiada
Published: May 2024

Marriage, as a fundamental personal right granted to men and women, bears a special function. Under the Philippine law, family law is based on the policy that marriage is not a mere contract, but a social institution in which the State is vitally interested. However, these statutory provisions which gave high regard and value, and therefore highlights the importance of marriage as a social institution is only true in marriages contracted between a man and a woman. These fancies are not true with the same-sex couples which also hope and dream to become married. Same sex relationship has recently been criticized by many not only on grounds of being immoral but also as a practice that erodes certain values attached to marriage and procreation. In this study, the researcher ascertained the respondents’ level of agreement on the possibility of legalizing same-sex marriage. The same study also discussed the proposed bills legal implications including several provisions which contradicts the provisions of the already existing Family Code of the Philippines. The moral implications of the proposed law would revolve on the already existing and conceived concept of marriage by the catholic church. There will be clash between the moral standard of the society regarding marriage to the new idea of marriage which includes marriage between the same sex. The findings suggests that the best remedy for this same-sex marriage issue is to look at it on a legal and not on a moral sense.

Published: May 2024

Vihiga is a densely populated county in western Kenya (1047 persons/sq.km) with a peri-urban agriculture landscape and limited land carrying capacity. Sustainable agriculture and Agri-food systems using agroecology principles, is hence critical for reducing poverty, pressure on land and natural resources especially soil, while curbing loss of biodiversity. Due to lack of policy guidelines on agroecology, both biodiversity and livelihood of people within the county and the entire region is compromised. The objective of this paper is therefore to contribute towards transformation of local Agri-food systems through participating in and informing policy processes for an Agroecology action, to enable small-scale producers strengthen their practices of regenerative agriculture. Deployment of context-specific technologies is hereby proposed for Agroecology principles to be mainstreamed in relevant line-departments and agriculture sector work plans, because of their holistic approach to sustainable agriculture, while emphasizing on soil health, social inclusion (equity), better access to knowledge and support services. Using interdependent processes of evidence-based policy (EBP) and multi-stakeholder engagement according to Weiss’s typology and review of twelve (12) similar policies or regulations in existence, ten (10) broad policy strategies on Agroecology are identified for local adaptation. The resulting policy initiative provides a roadmap for sustainable agriculture, using Agroecology approaches in farming some of which have historically been practiced through default by farmers. Further, with co-creation of existing knowledge and equity, agroecological production systems are promoted by use of digital technology to attract youth and women with limited access to arable land, for a wider community participation.

Published: May 2024

There is a growing concern among consumers and the wine industry regarding the quality of wine. Traditionally, wine experts determined its quality through tasting, which was time-consuming. Therefore, there is a need to predict wine quality based on specific key features to streamline these tasks. Technological developments like machine learning approaches have replaced human assessments with computational methods. However, some of these methods have faced criticism due to their low accuracy and lack of interpretability for humans. In this paper, a stacking ensemble method is introduced and demonstrates superior predictive performance when compared to other classification techniques like logistic regression, decision trees, gradient boosting, adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), and random forest. This evaluation is based on classification metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-Score, all under the same conditions. Additionally, outlier detection algorithms were employed to identify exceptional or subpar wines, though their results did not match the accuracy of classification approaches. Lastly, a feature analysis study was conducted to assess the significance of each feature in the model’s performance.

Published: May 2024

The article deals with the problem of creative individuality on the material of creativity of Circassian poet and writer Kurman Bakhsiyatovich Duguzhev (1941-1984). The issues of creative individuality and national originality are relevant in all periods of functioning of the literary process, this is especially true for young-descriptive literatures. Many authors have commented on the work of K. Duguzhev, but they are journalists, artists, poets, etc., but few professional literary critics have analyzed his works academically, so this article fills this gap to a certain extent. The introductory part characterizes the concept of creative individuality, notes the degree of its development, and emphasizes its role in the formation of young-written literatures of the North Caucasus region. The facts of K. Duguzhev’s biography that influenced the development of his creative individuality and the national uniqueness of his poetry and prose are presented using comparative-typological and chronico-historical methods.

Sleep regulates inflammatory responses, and the innate immune system affects sleep. Interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, growth hormone-releasing hormone, prolactin, and nitric oxide are somnogenic substances. Sleep deprivation, such as chronic insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea, affects cytokine production, glial function, natural killer cell activity, and inflammasome function. This review will discuss the relationship between sleep and innate immunity.

Field flow Fractionation is a technique which is used for the separation of colloidal or high molecular weight substances in liquid solution, flowing through the separation platform, which does not have a stationary phase. It is similar to liquid chromatography, as it works on dilute solutions or suspensions of the solute, carried by a flowing eluent.separation is done by applying a fields like hydraulic, centrifugal, thermal, electrical, magnetic, gravitational or cross flowing, perpendicular to the direction of the sample .Field flow fractionation (FFF) is a chromatography-like separation technique used to separate macromolecules, colloids, and particles. The idea is straightforward. A parabolic velocity profile is created by a laminar flow of carrier liquid between two walls separated by approximately 0.1 mm

Introducción: Los estudios de almacenamiento de carbono en zonas áridas y semiáridas son escasos. El uso de VANT (vehículos aéreos no tripulados) ha facilitado el monitoreo de zonas de interés, lo cual es difícil con técnicas que implican un costo mayor.
Objetivo: Desarrollar modelos predictivos, mediante el uso de imágenes aéreas, para la estimación de almacén de carbono en biomasa aérea (ACBA) en especies de matorral subtropical de Sonora.
Materiales y métodos: Se estimó el ACBA de especies leñosas (>2 m de altura) con métricas recabadas en campo y ecuaciones alométricas. Las métricas de vegetación remotas (cámara montada en VANT) se obtuvieron acorde con los métodos manual (digitalización) y automatizado (algoritmo ForestTools). Se hicieron pruebas no paramétricas (Wilcoxon) para determinar diferencias entre las métricas de campo y de imágenes aéreas. Estas se utilizaron para la construcción de modelos predictivos del ACBA a nivel individuo.
Resultados y discusión: La prueba de Wilcoxon indicó que la altura máxima de copa estimada en campo y con ambas aproximaciones es similar (P > 0.05), mientras que el área de copa y volumen de copa in situ no presentan diferencia significativa (P > 0.05) con la aproximación manual, pero sí con la automatizada (P < 0.05). Los modelos predictivos de ACBA con aproximaciones remotas fueron estadísticamente significativos (P < 0.001). Esto sugiere que la estimación de carbono con imágenes es capaz de explicar la variabilidad del método de referencia a nivel individuo.
Conclusión: Las imágenes aéreas constituyen una herramienta viable y práctica para la estimación de ACBA de árboles y arbustos en comunidades áridas/semiáridas.
