On an Initial-boundary Value Problem Which Arises in the Dynamics of a Compressible Ideal Stratified Fluid
Authors:   Crimean Federal University, Tsvetkov D. O.
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we investigate the problem on small motions of a compressible ideal stratified fluid in a bounded domain. The problem is studied on the base of approach connected with application of so-called operator matrices theory, as well as abstract differential operator equations. For this purpose, Hilbert spaces and some of their subspaces are introduced. The original initial-boundary value problem reduces to the Cauchy problem for a second-order differential operator equation in the orthogonal sum of some Hilbert spaces. Further, an equation with a closed operator is associated with the resulting equation. On this basis, sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the corresponding problem are found.

Published: June 2024

A vehicle routing problem for servicing objects with the possibility of distributing work between vehicle taking into account time windows is considered. We discuss approaches to constructing integer linear programming models and their modifications. A large neighborhood search algorithm is proposed to find approximate solutions. Here an improving solution is constructed using the “destroy” and “repair” methods at each step. A series of instances with various structures are proposed, in particular demonstrating the reason of returns to objects for vehicles. The results of an experimental evaluation of models and algorithms are presented.

Development of mobile-based application of crime reporting and handling in Malawi police service
Authors: Fadess Gongolo , Chipatso Medi , Mtende Mkandawire
Published: June 2024

Crime is increasing worldwide, and quick reporting of crimes is a very important aspect of anti-crime efforts. This problem is noticeable in Malawi, as people often refrain from reporting or sharing information due to the perceived lack of professionalism among some police officers within the security system, despite the presence of professional officers in the Malawi Police Service. With the increase in smartphone usage in Malawi, an opportunity arises to address this issue by tapping into the gap in incident reporting. Developing a mobile-based application is the proposed solution that can facilitate the reporting of crimes through mobile phones. The mobile web-based application will be built on the Flutter platform and will be simultaneously developed with a web-based application using Android and VScode languages to supplement its functionality, with Firebase utilized as the database server. This solution includes an administrative web- based backend accessible to the Malawi Police Service, allowing them to access detailed information on criminal activities. The mobile application emerges as a solution to the way users report crimes, enabling them to report any crime occurring in their locality easily.

Buñuel, desde la vanguardia al compromiso. Entre Menjant garotes y Así es la aurora
Authors: Vega Ángel
Published: June 2024

En 1930, Luis Buñuel realizó Menjant garotes, una pequeña película documental de poco más de cuatro minutos, en la que filma unas escenas de la vida cotidiana de Salvador Dalí Cusí y su esposa Catalina Domènech. La película fue filmada durante el rodaje en Cadaqués de algunas escenas de La edad de oro. Todo parece indicar que su realización estuvo motivada por la necesidad de congraciarse con el poderoso notario que, muy enfadado por el escándalo familiar suscitado por su hijo, podía llegar a generar problemas o contratiempos en el rodaje del largometraje. Buñuel no solo va a “agradecer” al señor notario que le permita filmar en Cadaqués sin contratiempos la película, también será el pretexto para dar por finalizada la etapa de colaboración con su amigo y, además, le servirá para cuadrar cuentas con la burguesía que tan bien representa el notario. Para ello, Buñuel se valdrá de alusiones a Un perro andaluz, Nosferatu o El fantasma de la libertad que, siendo muy posterior en el tiempo a la película de los Dalí, acabó, por capricho de la historia, convertida en un “antecedente” de la misma. Años después, tras su regreso a Europa, Buñuel vuelve a recuperar su pelicula familiar en Así es la aurora pero, después de Auschwitz, las cosas habían cambiado mucho.

Published: June 2024

Background

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are increasing in Denmark and Europe. Linezolid and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (LVRE) are of concern, as treatment options are limited. Vancomycin-variable enterococci (VVE) harbour the vanA gene complex but are phenotypically vancomycin-susceptible.

Aim

The aim was to describe clonal shifts for VRE and VVE in Denmark between 2015 and 2022 and to investigate genotypic linezolid resistance among the VRE and VVE.

Methods

From 2015 to 2022, 4,090 Danish clinical VRE and VVE isolates were whole genome sequenced. We extracted vancomycin resistance genes and sequence types (STs) from the sequencing data and performed core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) analysis for Enterococcus faecium. All isolates were tested for the presence of mutations or genes encoding linezolid resistance.

Results

In total 99% of the VRE and VVE isolates were E. faecium. From 2015 through 2019, 91.1% of the VRE and VVE were vanA E. faecium. During 2020, to the number of vanB E. faecium increased to 254 of 509 VRE and VVE isolates. Between 2015 and 2022, seven E. faecium clusters dominated: ST80-CT14 vanA, ST117-CT24 vanA, ST203-CT859 vanA, ST1421-CT1134 vanA (VVE cluster), ST80-CT1064 vanA/vanB, ST117-CT36 vanB and ST80-CT2406 vanB. We detected 35 linezolid vancomycin-resistant E. faecium and eight linezolid-resistant VVEfm.

Conclusion

From 2015 to 2022, the numbers of VRE and VVE increased. The spread of the VVE cluster ST1421-CT1134 vanA E. faecium in Denmark is a concern, especially since VVE diagnostics are challenging. The finding of LVRE, although in small numbers, ia also a concern, as treatment options are limited.

Published: June 2024

La dieta cetogénica se define como una dieta alta en lípidos, adecuada en proteínas y baja en hidratos de carbono que provoca cetosis. Durante el ayuno, el cuerpo humano metaboliza a través de la lipólisis los depósitos de grasa y los ácidos grasos a través de la betaoxidación, dando lugar al acetoacético, al beta-hydroxibutirato y a la acetona-cuerpos cetónicos. De este modo, las células pueden utilizarlos como precursores y generar adenosín trifosfato (ATP). La dieta cetogénica estimula los efectos metabólicos del ayuno, forzando al cuerpo humano a utilizar la grasa como fuente de energía.

Authors: Purba Joshua , Restele La Ode , Hadini La Ode , Usman Ida , Hasria Hasria , Harisma Harisma
Published: June 2024

Kendari City is an area prone to earthquakes because it is in a seismic zone dominated by local faults such as the Lawanopo Fault, Kendari Fault, Buton Fault, Tolo Thrust and Matano Fault, as evidenced by significant seismic events like those in 2011 and 2022. The earthquake in 2011, with a magnitude of 6.0, struck Kolono District, South Konawe Regency, while the 2022 earthquake, registering a magnitude of 5.2, occurred in the sea approximately 5 km north of Soropia, Konawe Regency. With seismic activity such as the 2011 and 2022 earthquakes causing significant damage, understanding seismic hazards is critical. The research stage starts from Hazard Analysis using the Classical Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) method to produce a hazard map that presents the distribution of peak ground acceleration on the surface, at periods 0 seconds (PGA), SA (T= 0.2 seconds) and SA (T= 1.0 seconds) for probabilities of exceedance 10% and 2% in 50 years, respectively. Classical Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) processing uses OpenQuake Engine software. The analysis results show that the PGA value in Kendari City on the surface ranged from (0.49 - 0.68 g and 0.79 - 1.17 g), SA at T= 0.2 seconds (1.10 - 1.53 g and 1.74 - 2.09 g), and SA at T= 1 second (0.64 - 0.93 g and 1.35 - 1.91 g). This result indicates the potential for significant damage and shocks.

Published: June 2024

Understanding the Holy Qur'an is crucial for humanity, yet clarifying how an ordinary individual can directly comprehend it poses challenges. The complexity and long-term nature of Islamic sciences, coupled with the current state of the educational system, highlight the difficulties in this regard. Efforts are being made to create a more accessible approach, categorizing commonly used words in the Qur'an for streamlined memorization. Additionally, some utilize the Total Physical Interaction (TPI) method for elucidating pronouns, surpassing conventional approaches. Another modern technique involves color-coded prefixes and suffixes to enhance comprehension, enabling readers to grasp 65% to 70% of the Qur'anic meaning. Despite these innovative methods, assessing their effectiveness in facilitating the common man's understanding remains premature. This research critically evaluates these techniques, aiming to propose a new model that bridges the gap, ensuring widespread comprehension of the divine Holy book.

Every region has its customs and traditions. In Muslim society, these customs and traditions can be followed in the light of Islamic teachings and these must align with the principles of the Quran and Sunnah rather than clashing with them. However, due to various reasons, the culture of other nations steadily began to influence Muslim customs and traditions. This outside influence greatly impacted death-related rituals. Although Islam has already provided Muslims with simple, easy, dignified, and comprehensive guidance about death rituals despite many people are seen to be following non-Sharia rituals as mandatory customs. There have been numerous discussions and debates among people about these so-called death rituals and their legal status in Islam. In this regard, some research work has been done on this topic at national level in Pakistan; however, there has not been sufficient research work carried out on this topic in the province of Sindh. Hence, this topic was chosen to elucidate the Shariah status of death rituals at the regional level. The current death rituals in Khairpur Mir's have been researched and evaluated with Shariah arguments and an attempt has been made to differentiate between the rituals that are in accordance with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah and that are contrary to the spirit of the teachings of Islam and shariah. During this research, it was found with the Shariah arguments that some death rituals were in accordance with the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah imposing certain conditions whereas most of the social death rituals were found to be illegal and unfounded in Islam.

Growing concerns about the vulnerabilities within election infrastructure have alarmed policymakers, security experts, and the public. This paper examines the specific vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure, including technological weaknesses, human factors, and infrastructural deficiencies. By analyzing past instances of infrastructure breaches, this study explores the economic impacts of compromised election systems, focusing on direct and indirect consequences such as financial market disruptions, loss of investor confidence, and increased government spending on security measures. The paper also discusses the potential economic ramifications of future cyberattacks targeting election infrastructure. To address these issues, various measures are proposed, including technological advancements, policy reforms, and public awareness initiatives. Through a comprehensive literature review and methodological analysis, this paper aims to provide an informed understanding of the intersection between election infrastructure security and economic stability. The findings underscore the importance of robust security measures in safeguarding not only the election process but also the broader economic well-being of the nation.
Nuclear Logging in Geological Probing for a Low-Carbon Energy Future – A New Frontier?
Authors:   Pacific Consultants and Engineers, Badruzzaman Ahmed ,   University of California, Berkeley
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the potential of nuclear logging techniques, ubiquitous in the petroleum industry, to extract geological information needed to support the transition to the low-carbon energy future being envisioned to replace fossil fuels and explores the technological advances needed. Assessment to date, using Monte Carlo modeling and available measurements shows promise in (1) monitoring injected CO2 for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to mitigate climate change, (2) assessing sites to bury high-level waste to support nuclear power generation and later monitor buried radioactive waste, and (3) in geothermal, a renewable option. For each case, standard techniques, while promising, also show technological gaps. Additionally, two postulated low-carbon areas supporting renewable energy generation are briefly examined—downhole quantification of strategic minerals and prediction and detection of naturally occurring hydrogen in the geology. Three related technology areas are also examined: transition from the current dual-track philosophy of nuclear logging tool design to a compact, more universally applicable advanced accelerator-based multiple-parameter tool concept, incorporation of artificial intelligence-guided physical health management systems to minimize generator failure, and advances in generation/detection hardware and software. Software advances would include codes with dynamic visualization and improved nuclear data libraries to design, calibrate, and assess tools, especially to provide a priori space-time profiles of attendant multiple radiation types, which would arise in the novel systems being postulated. Two exotic concepts, recently suggested also for downhole use, associate-particle imaging to monitor casing integrity of wells storing methane and hydrogen and muon-based deep density probing, are briefly explored.
Efficient Logging-While-Drilling Image Logs Interpretation Using Deep Learning

Published: June 2024

Logging-while-drilling (LWD) borehole images are very important data to support formation characterization and drilling operations. The manual interpretation of this data is a time-consuming task, limited by inconsistencies and uncertainties. We propose a deep-learning (DL)-based supervised method to automatically correlate geological features in low-resolution LWD image logs. Additionally, we tested two learning strategies, namely standard learning (SL) and curriculum learning (CL), to critically analyze the differences in the application on both synthetic and field data. Our results show that these DL models can effectively replace manual labor in dip picking but highlight the need for human intervention to validate and classify the correlated features, proving the utility of the semi-automatic paradigm.
Study on the Damage and Failure Process of Prefabricated Hole-Fracture Combination Defects in Shale
Authors:   Xi’an Shiyou University, Jiang Han , Qu Zhan ,   Xi’an Shiyou University, Liu Weihang ,   Northwestern Polytechnical University
Published: June 2024

The rock formations in oil and gas reservoirs are predominantly composed of laminated shale, which contains various defects such as pores and fractures. These defects have a significant impact on the stability of wellbore walls. As a result, this study utilized rock samples from a specific oil and gas reservoir and introduced pre-existing pore and fracture defects within them. Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on rock specimens with varying angles between the fractures and the bedding planes. The study involved measuring and analyzing the impact of pre-existing defect morphology on shale’s mechanical properties. Additionally, through the use of digital image correlation (DIC) technology, a comprehensive strain field map was obtained, depicting the initiation, propagation, and ultimate failure of surface cracks in shale under loading conditions. This allowed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the connection between shale’s damage and failure processes and the evolution of strain fields. Ultimately, this research provides a theoretical basis for wellbore stability and the development of shale oil and gas fields. Conclusions drawn from the study are as follows. With an increase in fracture angle, the rock’s elastic modulus gradually increases, and both compressive strength and strain exhibit a pattern of higher values on both ends and lower values in the middle. When the fracture angle is less than 30°, significant stress concentration occurs at the tip of the fracture. When the angle exceeds 60°, stress concentration around pores dominates. In the range of 30° to 60°, there is a combined stress concentration around both pores and fractures, significantly reducing rock stability. Crack propagation is influenced by bedding planes and exhibits varying degrees of ductility, ultimately resulting in a tension-shear mixed failure. When fractures are parallel to bedding planes (angle = 0°), defects are symmetrically distributed, and stress concentration at the fracture tip dominates, leading to crack initiation from the fracture tip and eventually forming an “H”-shaped tensile failure. When fractures are perpendicular to bedding planes (angle = 90°), stress concentration around pores is greater than at the fracture tip, causing cracks to initiate around pores and eventually collapsing on one side of the fracture.

Literacy is one of the skills that must be possessed to deal with today's technological advances. Literacy skills help a person understand information accurately so as to avoid hoax news that is rampant in circulation. Furthermore, with literacy skills one can share knowledge through quality written works. Literacy skills must be trained from an early age, especially math and science literacy skills. This ability allows a person to formulate, use and interpret mathematics in various life contexts that include concepts, procedures, facts and figures. One of the efforts that can be made to improve mathematics and science literacy in schools is to optimize the role of the library. The method used in the application of this effort is service learning which builds a culture of service and engagement to work together. The research found that strengthening mathematics and science literacy can be done through optimizing the role of the library. For example, the provision of a comfortable reading room, the availability of complete and interesting reading books.
