Authors: Willinger Laura , Böhm Birgit , Schweizer Florian , Reimer Lara Marie , Jonas Stephan , Scheller Daniel A , Oberhoffer-Fritz Renate , Müller Jan
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of physical inactivity among children and adolescents is alarmingly high despite the well-documented and comprehensive benefits of regular physical activity (PA). Therefore, PA promotion should start early in childhood and adolescence. Although reducing recreational screen time in children and adolescents is an urgent concern, digital approaches have the potential to make activity promotion attractive and age appropriate for the target group. KIJANI is a mobile app approach to promote PA in children and adolescents via gamification and augmented reality.

OBJECTIVE

This study protocol aims to describe the KIJANI intervention in detail, as well as the evaluation approach.

METHODS

KIJANI is based on the concept that virtual coins can be earned through PA, for example, in the form of a collected step count. With these coins, in turn, blocks can be bought, which can be used to create virtual buildings and integrate them into the player’s real-world environment via augmented reality. PA of users is detected via accelerometers integrated into the smartphones. KIJANI can be played at predefined play locations that were comprehensively identified as safe, child-friendly, and attractive for PA by the target group in a partner project. The evaluation process will be divided into 2 different stages. The phase-I evaluation will be a mixed methods approach with one-on-one semistructured interviews and questionnaires to evaluate the user experience and receive feedback from the target group. After the implementation of results and feedback from the target group, the phase-II evaluation will proceed in the form of a 2-arm randomized controlled trial, in which the effectiveness of KIJANI will be assessed via objectively measured PA as well as questionnaires.

RESULTS

The study received ethical approval from the ethical board of the Technical University of Munich. Participants for the phase-I evaluation are currently being recruited.

CONCLUSIONS

The study will help to determine the efficacy, applicability, and user experience of a gamified activity promotion application in children and adolescents. Overall, digital health approaches provide easy and wide reachability at low cost and are age appropriate and attractive for the target group of adolescents. Strategies have to be developed to apply digital health approaches in the best possible way for activity promotion.

Published: December 2023

Every member of the community on Facebook can freely discuss something of mutual interest. However, the members usually use particular lexicons that can only be understood by the members and people with the same interest. This study aims to describe the forms of registers, semantic changes, and the function of registers used by the members of the Facebook community. Wardhaugh's perspective on registers is used in this study to restrict the concept of register. Meanwhile, Keraf and Biber's theory were applied to identify the meanings and the functions of the registers. This research applied descriptive qualitative method. The data of the registers used by Facebook community members in November 2022-Januari 2023 were collected by applying reading and note-taking techniques. Registers were analyzed based on the form, meaning, and function. The study found that the form of register used by skincare enthusiasts consisted of words, phrases, and abbreviations. The registers also changed in meaning in the type of narrowing, broadening, shifting, and metaphor. The use of registers predominantly meet the heuristic and representational functions. The forms and semantic changes in the use of registers can be caused by the situational characteristics of the community, such as users’ social characteristics, relation between users, communicative purposes, channel, and the topic.

Authors: Viklous Belinda Ekharisti , Radjalewa Cosmas Reynold , Sulistyowati
Published: December 2023

This article aims to investigate how the iconicity of UGM is constructed, the underlying notion of UGM as an icon, and the reason behind the iconicity of UGM. The multiple interpretations of UGM as an icon are analyzed using Peirce's semiotic framework to show the relationship between the representamen, interpretant, and object. Blumer’s concept of symbolic interaction is also applied to display the interaction mechanism between the representamen and the interpretant on the formation of the iconic sign. And mixed methods are used as an approach to explain the data. As a result, this article has collected 168 tokens of interpretations of UGM with 5 dominant tokens explained, namely Berkualitas (Qualified), Jogja (Yogyakarta), Terbaik (The Best), Pintar (Smart), and Keren (Cool). The representamen and the interpretant are interrelated through bidirectional interpretations. UGM is projected as an iconic brand to serve identity creation and retention. Identity creation and retention might potentially promote social class and disparity as a result of power relations and distribution regarding UGM as an iconic brand. Further study needs to be conducted to address the issues.

Authors: Widyawan  , Muhamad Risqi Utama Saputra  , Paulus Insap Santosa
Published: December 2023

This research presents the INVys system aiming to solve the problem of indoor navigation for persons with visual impairment by leveraging the capabilities of an RGB-D camera. The system utilizes the depth information provided by the camera for micronavigation, which involves sensing and avoiding obstacles in the immediate environment. The INVys system proposes a novel auto-adaptive double thresholding (AADT) method to detect obstacles, calculate their distance, and provide feedback to the user to avoid them. AADT has been evaluated and compared to baseline and auto-adaptive thresholding (AAT) methods using four criteria: accuracy, precision, robustness, and execution time. The results indicate that AADT excels in accuracy, precision, and robustness, making it a suitable method for obstacle detection and avoidance in the context of indoor navigation for persons with visual impairment. In addition to micronavigation, the INVys system utilizes the color information provided by the camera for macro-navigation, which involves recognizing and following navigational markers called optical glyphs. The system uses an automatic glyph binarization method to recognize the glyphs and evaluates them using two criteria: accuracy and execution time. The results indicate that the proposed method is accurate and efficient in recognizing the optical glyphs, making it suitable for use as a navigational marker in indoor environments. Furthermore, the study also provides a correlation between the size of the glyphs, the distance of the recognized glyphs, the tilt condition of the recognized glyphs, and the accuracy of glyph recognition. These correlations define the minimum glyph size that can be practically used for indoor navigation for persons with visual impairment. Overall, this research presents a promising solution for indoor navigation for persons with visual impairment by leveraging the capabilities of an RGB-D camera and proposing novel methods for obstacle detection and avoidance and for recognizing navigational markers.

Fitur maximum power point tracking (MPPT) pada sistem pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS) merupakan suatu fungsi yang penting dalam meningkatkan efisiensi produksi listrik. Algoritma incremental conductance (InC) berfungsi mengontrol MPPT yang ditujukan untuk memaksimalkan daya keluaran panel photovoltaic (PV) dan meningkatkan efisiensi sistem PLTS. Meskipun algoritma InC termasuk sederhana dan praktis, sayangnya algoritma ini cenderung kurang mendukung kecepatan switching secara presisi, sensitif terhadap tingkat presisi pengukuran, dan kurang mampu menghilangkan osilasi daya akibat siklus switching yang ketat. Algoritma deep neural network (DNN) memiliki potensi untuk menjawab tantangan dinamika MPPT tersebut. Kemampuan pembelajaran DNN memungkinkan pengontrol lebih mengenali dinamika pergeseran nilai daya maksimum, sehingga dapat memberikan aktuasi switching yang lebih sesuai. Masukan bagi DNN merupakan duty ratio yang dihasilkan oleh algoritma InC. Algoritma DNN diimplementasikan pada tiga topologi konverter daya DC ke DC, yaitu buck, boost, dan buck-boost, untuk mengetahui kinerja MPPT pada kondisi uji standar dan kondisi lingkungan nyata. DNN terbukti mampu mengurangi efek osilasi, mempercepat waktu steady state, dan meningkatkan efisiensi. Pada uji kondisi lingkungan nyata, diperoleh hasil bahwa konverter buck secara konsisten menghasilkan daya tertinggi, yang selanjutnya diikuti oleh konverter boost dan konverter buck-boost. Dalam hal efisiensi kinerja, capaian tertinggi terjadi pada konverter buck, yakni sebesar 94,58%, dikuti konverter boost sebesar 90,79%, dan efisiensi terendah pada konverter buck-boost sebesar 79,34%.
El ak’bil chamel (mal echado). Similitudes y diferencias entre tsotsiles y tseltales
Authors: Page Pliego Jaime Tomás
Published: December 2023

En este artículo se aborda de manera sucinta cómo tsotsiles y tseltales concebían y vivían todavía hacia finales de la década de 1990 lo que se ha dimensionado como ak’ chamel o ak’bil chamel (mal echado entre humanos). Ambos grupos predominantemente designan a quien «echa mal» como j-ak’ chamel, que se distingue en dos clases: la primera es el peticionario, es decir, quien requiere dirigirse a ciertas entidades ontológicas situadas en algún lugar de poder sobre la tierra para que por efecto de «rezos» y ofrendas coadyuven a causar ak’bil chamel; la segunda clase refiere a los kibal (en tsotsil), que se metamorfosean en animales, fenómenos naturales o cósmicos, y los lab (en tseltal), que emanan de sí entidades dañinas, asimismo en animales, fenómenos naturales, pero también en humanoides. Estos dos últimos no requieren de la intercesión de terceros para dañar.
Transformaciones políticas y jurídicas postsoviéticas: diseño institucional de la justicia constitucional en la Comunidad de Estados Independientes (CEI)
Authors: Yakunin Vladimir , Abrámova Marianna
Published: December 2023

Después de examinar la manera de que los órganos de justicia constitucional están formados en la Comunidad de Estados Independientes (CEI) y el alcance de sus poderes, el autor analiza los modelos de justicia constitucional de Moldova y Ucrania. Éstos se comparan más tarde con el modelo ruso, con un enfoque en la reforma constitucional en Rusia de 2020. El autor señala una contradicción innata en la institución de la justicia constitucional: el hecho de que, es extremadamente difícil disociarla de lo “político”. En la CEI el grado en que la justicia constitucional está entrelazada con la política es mayor que en ningún otro lugar. Esto se explica por las condiciones del tránsito politico y el fenómeno del neopatrimonialismo.
El lugar del derecho comparado en la despenalización del aborto en el sur global
Authors: Vivas-Barrera Tania Giovanna
Published: December 2023

El debate constitucional sobre el reconocimiento del derecho innominado al aborto y la disminución ponderada del derecho a la vida del nasciturus parece no menguar con el paso del tiempo tras décadas de fallos históricos. Tras quince años de la icónica sentencia de la Corte Constitucional colombiana, la cuestión se ha reabierto con nuevas demandas que invocan la revisión de la posición del tribunal constitucional que hace algún tiempo aceptó la despenalización del delito de aborto en determinadas circunstancias. El derecho comparado ha sido parte fundamental de la controversia constitucional en los países del sur global, así como la trascendencia de decisiones extranjeras en la decisión local, por ello la metodología comparatista y el diálogo judicial serán corazón y latido de este artículo.

Authors: Parshikova M. V. , Grinko E. A.
Published: December 2023

In this paper, the hardness indicators values in industrial water samples were studied in accordance with the methodology RD 34.37.523.8-88 and the kinetics of the cationite filter was considered. Based on the method, the total hardness of technical water was determined. Hardness is determined by means of magnesium and calcium ions properties to combine into ethylene amine tetraacetate complexes. Also, the principle of cationite filter operation at different stages of the 2-stage scheme of the sodium-cationized method of chemical raw water treatment obtained by water intake from the river for subsequent use in industrial enterprises in production cycles and thermal power plants for generating thermal and electric energy was considered. Physical and chemical processes occurring in cation exchange filters during the preparation of raw water for industrial use at different stages of the 2-stage scheme of the sodium-cationized method of chemical water treatment, as well as methods for restoring the characteristics of the filter loading to the original characteristics after the cleaning process, were considered. Water quality control necessary for functioning when used in industrial enterprises and thermal power plants was considered. The course of experimental studies, the applied methods for determining the water hardness and the methods of analysis of the experiment obtained results the were described. On the basis of exploratory experiments, the indicators of hardness in the analyzed industrial waters and the intervals of their variation were established. As a result of experimental studies, an algorithm for performing hardness measurements in water samples in the form of a tree structure was developed, as well as a decomposition algorithm, a sequence of actions on the object of experimental data analysis. Decomposition is carried out with the help of a conceptional model, through which the experimental cycle of research was studied.

Authors: Kirillov A. I. , Shelkovnikov Yu. K. , Pletnev M. A.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the development of a medical device for high-precision measurement and automatic diagnosis of dental caries stage. The analysis of the composition and characteristics of tooth hard tissues, being the cause of caries and its development, is given. It has been established that the main cause of the carious process is the attack of acid-forming bacteria on tooth enamel. It is shown that the most promising method for caries diagnosis is the electrometric method, which consists in measuring electrical conductivity of the tooth hard tissue electrolyte. Conventional devices for the electrometric method implementation are described, using the direct current through the biological tissue of the tooth, but not taking into account the electrochemical features of the current flow. An electrochemical interpretation of the current flow through biological tissues and two electrodes with a polarity switch of these electrodes was performed, which makes it possible to exclude the effect of polarization of biological tissue and electrodes both for teeth in vivo and in vitro. An equivalent diagram of the current flow through the biological tissue is given, which value can reveal the stage of the carious process: intact enamel, pre-carious state, initial, superficial, medium and deep caries. The use of two current-carrying electrodes for measuring the electrical conductivity of biological tissues is considered: an active electrode made of stainless steel using a 10% solution of CaCl2 and a passive electrode also made of stainless steel and using an electrolyte of the biological tissue of a tooth (simulated by a 0.9% solution of NaCl). A comparative assessment of the tooth biological tissue electrolyte electrical conductivity and electrical conductivity of the active and passive electrode electrolytes was performed to assess the error of the electrometric method. A high-precision intelligent electrometric device (protected by a patent for an invention) has been developed, which allows automatic carious process stage determination by the value of the tooth biological tissue electrical conductivity; the operation of this device is described.

Authors: Ahirwar Mahendra Kumar
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The seismic performance of bridges is of paramount importance, particularly in regions prone to seismic activity. This study presents an in-depth analysis of the seismic behavior of a composite bridge structure using the powerful finite element analysis software, ANSYS. The research explores the response of a composite bridge, considering the dynamic forces induced during seismic events. A detailed finite element model is developed, incorporating the various components of the composite bridge, including the superstructure, substructure, and the interaction between different materials such as concrete and steel. The analysis involves subjecting the bridge model to realistic seismic ground motions to simulate real-world conditions. Various parameters are investigated, including the bridge's dynamic response, stresses, deformations, and potential failure modes. Through the utilization of ANSYS, this study provides critical insights into the seismic performance of composite bridges. The findings contribute to enhancing the design and construction of resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding seismic forces, ultimately ensuring the safety and functionality of vital transportation networks.

Authors: Ibrahim  , Khalil Ibrahim Alhussain , Prahmana Rully Charitas Indra
Published: December 2023

Mathematical creative thinking skill often becomes the orientation of mathematics learning, aiming to enhance students’ creativity in mathematics. Recognizing that creativity encompasses the capacity for thinking creatively and creativity disposition is essential. Building on this conceptual foundation, the primary objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive model illustrating the relationship between students' aptitude for mathematical creative thinking and their creative disposition. The research methodology employed in this study aligned with the framework of cause-and-effect analysis. The study cohort consisted of 36 students, carefully selected by a cluster random sampling technique. The research instruments included a mathematical creative thinking ability assessment and a creative disposition scale. The data was analyzed using the Non-Recursive Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed the reciprocal cause-and-effect dynamic between mathematical creative thinking ability and creative disposition, exhibiting a mutually influential relationship with determination coefficients of 21.83% and 21.05%. This shows that mathematical creative thinking ability is better at explaining mathematical creative disposition than mathematical creative disposition explaining mathematical creative thinking ability, with a relatively small difference (0.78%). This study also concluded that an optimal approach to mathematics pedagogy entails a balanced and simultaneous focus on nurturing mathematical creative thinking ability and disposition.
Dimensions of Maqāṣid Al-Sharī‘ah and Human Rights in the Constitutional Court’s Decision on Marriage Age Difference in Indonesia
Authors: Purnomo Agus , Salam Nor , Zamzami Mukhammad , Bakar Abu
Published: December 2023

This article analyzes the Constitutional Court's ruling on the difference in marriage age between men and women as contained in Decision Number 22/PUU-XV/2017 and examines whether the decision guarantees the protection of human rights. Methodologically, the study is a normative research using the maqāṣid al-sharī'ah approach and human rights as analytical tools. The data analyzed are Constitutional Court decisions, journal articles, books and various literature related to the discussion. The study concluded that the Constitutional Court's ruling on the age limit for marriage contains aspects of maqāṣid al-sharī'ah in the form of considerations to prevent harm. This is in line with the general rule in Islamic law of avoiding damage (mafsadah) which must take precedence over efforts to achieve benefit. Another aspect of maqāṣid in the Constitutional Court's ruling is that it affirms the protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), either through the enforcement of qiṣāṣ (retributive justice) or the protection of children or minors. This legal principle can also mean protection from all forms of discrimination and violence, all of which are assessed in the ruling. Viewed from a human rights perspective, the ruling is closely related to the affirmation of discriminatory treatment of women, as the main objective of basic human rights and must be protected. However, this decision also cannot be interpreted as an equality of women with men. Gender differentiation does exist but should not result in harm.
An Implementation of the Joint Inheritance Division of Ethnic Groups in Lampung, Indonesia
Authors: Zaelani Abdul Qodir , Faisal Faisal , Fajar Mokhamad Samson , Hanif Abdul
Published: December 2023

Lampung is a distinct, diverse, and multi-ethnic province. Lampung's multi-ethnicity is worth investigating regarding inheritance distribution, specifically the inheritance of joint property. This study examines the implementation of ethnic group inheritance in Lampung and how it contributes to the paradigm shift of joint property. This investigation is field research in which data is gathered from informants and analyzed using a cultural approach. According to the analysis, implementing the division of joint property inheritance of ethnic groups in Lampung could be classified into multiple categories. First, the majority of joint inheritance property is distributed straight to offspring (both male and female. Second, only daughters are given the joint property inheritance. Third, only the son receives joint property inheritance. Fourth, if one of the parents passes away, some joint property inheritance is granted to the mother and father. Because the Lampung community is nearly entirely unfamiliar with joint property (gono gini), the joint property inheritance is promptly distributed into the four categories listed above. Although the cultural practice considerably influences the distribution of inheritance in connection to the family system and social protection factors, it has begun to shift with less to no influence by religious and social factors.
¿COMUNALIZANDO A MARX?: LA APORTACIÓN DE LO COMÚN Y LO CONVIVIAL DESDE GUSTAVO ESTEVA Y JAIME MARTÍNEZ LUNA
Authors: Tornel Carlos , Gómez Elías González
Published: December 2023

Em novembro de 2020, a Universidad de la Tierra organizou um painel intitulado “Comunalidade e vida concreta”. Entre os participantes estava o intelectual Zapotec Jaime Martínez Luna, que, em sua intervenção, disse: "Marx o diz claramente: os filósofos interpretam o mundo, o que está em causa é transformá-lo. Eu diria: nem um nem o outro. Trata-se de compartilhá-lo". Esta frase abre outro tipo de paradigma político, centrado na dimensão comunitária da vida e de suas relações com o território. Para isso, nosso objetivo é explorar este horizonte político a partir de dois conceitos complementares, embora não idênticos: convivência e comunalidade. Partindo de uma análise do pensamento de Marx em diferentes etapas de sua vida e seguindo a crítica formulada pelas escolas de pensamento pós-colonial e descolonial, o texto procura refletir sobre as formas pelas quais o pensamento marxista, em diálogo com estes dois conceitos na América Latina, pode levar a movimentos emancipatórios. Trabalhando com o pensamento de dois de seus expoentes mais significativos: Jaime Luna e Gustavo Esteva, ambos baseados em Oaxaca, este texto procura trazer estes conceitos ao diálogo, mas também reconhecê-los como parte de uma prática do território necessária para sentir-pensar e praticar em uma era de crise generalizada.

Authors: Oliveira Alisson Medeiros de , Costa Diógenes Félix da Silva
Published: December 2023

Os ambientes serranos do semiárido do Brasil se mostram, em sua grande maioria, como ambientes de cobertura vegetal conservada ou em estágio de sucessão ecológica avançado, o que lhes confere uma maior diversidade florística e estrutural. Diante do contexto de complexidade fitogeográfica em que estes ambientes se associam, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo classificar as unidades fitoecológicas do maciço Serra João do Vale (RN/PB). A classificação dos usos e coberturas da terra foi realizada com auxílio do software Ecognition Developer (Trimble®), assim como com a coleta de dados primárias in situ, onde foram anotadas as espécies-chave que caracterizam cada unidade fitoecológica e descritos os padrões de distribuição da cobertura vegetal. Identificou-se que a área apresenta 02 fitofisionomias predominantes: caatinga e floresta tropical sazonalmente seca. As fitosionomias encontradas são condicionadas tanto por fatores ambientais como pela intervenção humana, gerando padrões complexos de distribuição, algumas vezes não havendo tendências, onde a aleatoriedade é proeminente. Foram identificadas 02 unidades fitoecológicas da caatinga e 04 da floresta, sendo esta última restrita a áreas com menor extensão nas zonas mais elevadas e cercadas por trechos de declividade acentuada.

Published: December 2023

O objetivo do presente estudo é reconhecer a geodiversidade em um complexo serrano do município de Alexandria-RN, Brasil, através do mapeamento dos sítios geológicos. Detém-se, de modo geral, a fase de inventariação da área, na busca por relacionar informações acerca dos aspectos geoambientais e demais particularidades que consubstanciem o geoturismo. Assim, trata-se metodologicamente, de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa e contextualização descritiva das características referentes ao município e ambiente serrano. Para tanto, recorreu-se a revisões bibliográficas sobre o tema e área de estudo, bem como ao método geossistêmico para análise integrada da paisagem, trabalhos de campo e elaboração de produtos cartográficos. Ademais, salienta-se que as observações in loco foram realizadas com auxílio de fichas de campo, adaptadas da ProGEO-Portugal, que possibilitaram identificar três pontos a serem designados como geossítios, a saber: (a) tanques naturais na Lagoa das Lajes, (b) Olho D’água do Timbu e (c) inscrições rupestres do Sítio Arqueológico nas imediações do Conjunto Santana. São áreas de expressivo arcabouço natural, arqueológico e paleontológico que deveriam ser instituídas como áreas de preservação. Verificou-se aptidões atreladas ao geoturismo, com espaços profícuos às atividades educativas, turismo de contemplação, turismo esportivo, entre outros. Todavia, também constatou-se limitações. Reporta-se a áreas de geossistemas frágeis, onde não existem medidas de proteção aplicadas ao ambiente. Além disso, carece de reconhecimento de suas potencialidades atreladas à geodiversidade aflorante, por parte da população, de modo que o ambiente seja preservado e valorizado primeiramente pelos seus anfitriões.

O objetivo da pesquisa foi estimar e analisar a dinâmica da prestação de serviços ambientais relativos aos estoques de carbono na bacia hidrográfica do rio das Rãs, semiárido baiano. Foram utilizados 17 inventários, 280 parcelas e 17.745 indivíduos como base de apoio à medição da biomassa e dos estoques de carbono. Foram quantificados 4.169.071,36 ton. e 3.088.494,09 ton. de carbono acima do solo, com a valoração de 250 milhões de dólares no ano de 2019. Porém, verifica-se a desvalorização entre os preços praticados no mercado de carbono em relação às metas do Acordo de Paris (91,33%). Para uma distribuição monetária mais justa, referente ao PSA na bacia, recomenda-se o envolvimento de agricultores familiares e comunidades tradicionais, isso para evitar uma concentração de renda e agravar um cenário histórico de exclusão socioeconômica.

As queimadas impactam de diferentes formas os ecossistemas terrestres e nem todos estão adaptados ao mesmo regime de fogo, inclusive dentro de um mesmo bioma, como no caso do Cerrado brasileiro. O objetivo da pesquisa é avaliar a resiliência de diferentes formações do Cerrado no contexto de eventos de fogo por meio da análise multitemporal do índice de vegetação NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index – no Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros – GO. Foram utilizados dados de cicatrizes de áreas queimadas do INPE, distribuição espacial da vegetação do MapBiomas e imagens MODIS para cálculo do somatório acumulado das cicatrizes de área queimada e NDVI acumulado por formação (campestre, savânica e florestal). Os resultados corroboram com as evidências científicas do comportamento da vegetação do Cerrado, demonstrando a diferente resiliência das formações vegetais aos mesmos episódios persistentes de fogo.
