Published: January 2025

Hardy's argument constitutes an elegantly logical test for identifying nonlocal features of multipartite correlations. In this paper, we investigate Hardy's nonlocal behavior within a broad class of operational theories, including the qubit state space as a specific case. Specifically, we begin by examining a wider range of operational models with state space descriptions in the form of regular polygons. First, we present a systematic method to characterize the possible forms of entangled states within bipartite compositions of these models. Then, through explicit examples, we identify the classes of entangled states that exhibit Hardy-type nonlocality. Remarkably, our findings highlight a closer analogy between odd polygon models and the qubit state space in terms of their bipartite Hardy nonlocal behavior compared to even-sided polygons. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the emergence of mixed-state Hardy nonlocality in any operational model is determined by a specific symmetry inherent in its dynamic description. Finally, our results uncover an unexplored class of almost-quantum correlations that can be associated with an explicit operational model.

Prospects for developing legal regulation of inheritance contracts and joint wills in the Russian Federation
Authors:   Academy of Labor and Social Relations, Kogan Vladislav
Published: January 2025

The study of the evolution of inheritance succession in Russia has gained attention due to the
rapid development of inheritance law over the past 20 years (the third part of the Russian Civil Code came
into effect in 2002), as well as changes in notarial and judicial practice. Implementation of the new norms
of the inheritance law institutions by judges and notaries is constantly evolving. New institutions, such as
the institutions of joint wills and inheritance contracts between spouses, are becoming more prevalent. The
author emphasizes the need to study the reasons and purposes for introducing these institutions to
determine the general features and differences between them. Given that both institutions have foreign
origins, we should pay close attention to how they were integrated into the Russian legal system. This
requires an examination of the challenges associated with applying these institutions in the countries
where they were established and where they received law enforcement practice. These changes connect the
civil law regulation and family law development issues more closely.
The concept of system-activity approach for determining the professional level of public civil servants
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Gorb Victor
Published: January 2025

Since May 2023, the applicant’s or civil servant’s professional level is the primary criterion for competing
for vacant positions and during performance review. In this regard, it became essential to update performance
review and competitive processes to enhance motivational influence on civil servants’ professional development
processes and the productivity, efficiency, and performance quality of their service activities. The article presents
a system-activity approach for modernizing the process of determining the professional level of civil servants. The
scientific and methodological basis for creating the concept is based on the results of the author’s implementation
of the system-activity approach in the process of developing a model of professional competence for public
managers, determining the effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of public administration, and designing professional
and educational goals for public civil servants’ training. As a result, the concepts of potential and actual professional
levels are developed. The article presents the types of professional levels, criteria used to determine them, and
organizational conditions the civil servants need to improve their professional level.

Published: January 2025

The article examines the project activity system at the regional level within the framework of
public administration. The authors highlight the methodological, organizational, and terminological aspects
of implementing projects at various levels and stress the value of the project approach as an instrument for
boosting public administration efficiency and raising the quality of public services. It is noted that despite
the introduction of a number of procedures aimed at improving the effectiveness of the project approach,
such as, for example, the “project guillotine”, general imperfections remain, and the approach itself requires
further development. The article examines the State Unitary Enterprise «Fuel and Energy Complex of Saint
Petersburg» as an example of a successful heat supply system modernization project and explores how this
project has benefited the region’s social and economic development. Additionally, the study provides the
summary of the legal and regulatory framework that the Russian Federation’s public authorities use to
oversee project activities. The article points out that the regulatory and legal framework of the Russian
Federation provides for four types of projects, while no unified terminological system has developed at the
regional level. The authors emphasize the need to eliminate the terminological inconsistency of the
regional and federal regulatory and legal framework, which will contribute to improving the efficiency of
project activities.

Published: January 2025

The industrial sector is the backbone of the country in building the defense sector and economic stability that needs to maintain productivity and be competitive. One of the companies that manufacture automotive components, Mitsubishi, manufactures automotive components and must have zero defect requirements. However, in practice, it was found that 1 (one) unit of CJM had a brake caliper malfunction in the condition that the unit was ready to be sent to the carpool consumer of a company that produces automotive components. The damage is a discrepancy in the diameter of the piston seal, which closes the gap between the piston and the piston housing, allowing for brake fluid leakage, which affects the "zero defect" commitment. Through the application of the Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) method with the formation of a Root Cause Investigation (RCI) team, an investigation was carried out to find the root cause of the failure. However, the data processing results of the diameter of the seal thickness obtained have a Cp value of 0.98 and a Cpk of 0.81, which means the process has not been able to work optimally. Therefore, we decided to make some improvements, adding Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Work Instructions (WI), and making Poka-Yokes as corrective actions in dealing with this problem. After almost 3 months since the investigation began, the data processing results on the piston seal were Cp = 1.86 and Cpk = 1.80.

Authors: Ubaiyi R. Vanji Abdillah , Donoriyanto Dwi Sukma , Rahmawati Nur
Published: January 2025

The supply chain system will greatly affect the distribution channel that will be targeted, thereby affecting the availability of products and also the fulfillment of needs for the community. Sidoarjo Regency has the potential to produce watermelons independently; this is supported because Sidoarjo Regency is included in the Gerbangkartasusila region, with Surabaya City as one of the main supporting districts. Watermelon fruit has a very abundant amount of production in Sidoarjo Regency, but watermelon fruit is a seasonal fruit with erratic public consumption and tends to decrease, causing an excess supply of watermelon. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine supply chain behavior, then model and simulate it, as well as design a model for improving the watermelon supply chain in Sidoarjo Regency. Through a system dynamics simulation approach using Vensim software, the results show that the amount of watermelon stock in Sidoarjo is affected by production, consumption, and depreciation values. Then, the current total production of watermelons will be 1110 quintals in 2021. Through a simulation of the improvement model design with the addition of other regional distributions and the assumption of a distribution of 350 tons/year for the next 5 years, the supply of watermelons is still able to meet the needs of the people of Sidoarjo Regency. The improvement model reduces excess inventory in Sidoarjo Regency.

Authors: Maknun Salmaa Lu'lu'ul , Aidil Joumil
Published: January 2025

Competition in several service sector companies and the manufacturing industry is getting tighter, which requires service companies as well as manufacturing to increase their production. Solving this problem can be started by improving the company system. Especially in minimizing or eliminating waste from the production process. CV. Teguh Jaya Mandiri is a company engaged in packaging screen printing services, its current condition has obstacles in the processing period that exceeds the time limit and does not match consumer demand. This is because the company has not done a good analysis in calculating the cycle time that occurs during the entire process. Thus, researchers can identify the level of waste and proposed improvements to optimize cycle time and reduce waste in the production process. In this research, the lean manufacturing method is used with the Value Stream Mapping tool followed by Process Activity Mapping which is one of VALSAT (Value Stream Analysis Tools). The results showed that Process Activity Mapping using the Value Stream Mapping approach identified waste in the production process at CV. Teguh Jaya Mandiri, namely there are overprocesses. The weighting result of overprocesses is 0,21. Cycle Time has decreased from 24812,5 seconds to 13908,5 seconds or 3 hours 52 minutes by eliminating NVA and reducing existing VA.

The current research consists of a machining process involving AISI steel where the input parameters are the cutting depth, feed rate and cutting speed while the responses include the cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear. Usually, heat is generated during the turning process and various machining processes, and to reduce it, coolants are considered. In this work, CuO and Al2O3 were used as nano lubricants (MQL). Data obtained from the machining process were inserted into Minitab 18 software where quadratic objective functions were formulated as related to each output concerning the input parameters. Objective functions were optimized with the aid of C++ programming code. The cuckoo search algorithm was used for the optimization process of the work. This work clearly shows a reduction of the output parameters that is, cutting force from 243N to 127.20N, surface roughness from 0.66µm to 0.368µm and tool wear from 0.069mm to 0.0046mm using CuO as the nano lubricant. While using Al2O3, cutting force was lowered from 363N to 197.63N, surface roughness from 1.98µm to 0.148µm and tool wear from 0.219mm to 0.063mm. This clearly shows that using CuO helps to obtain a better cutting force coupled with elongation of the tool life but Al2O3 best gives a better surface finish.

At present, there is a continuous escalation of labour costs, material costs and other welding-related costs and stabilizing them is challenging. Therefore, optimization of the welding process is essential to stabilize the situation. In this article, an aspect ratio-based Taguchi method is proposed to control the operational performance of the laser welding process while welding the Al-Mg-Mn-Zr-Er alloy sheets. The direct parameters considered are the laser power (LP), welding speed (WS) and welding feed rate (WFR). The aspect ratios analyzed are LP/WS, LP/WFR, WS/LP, WS/WFR, WFR/LP and WFR/WS. The aspect ratios are introduced into the factor/level framework, and the results, transmitted as orthogonal arrays are changed to signal-to-noise ratios. The final results are the delta values, ranks and optimal parametric settings. The principal results indicate that for the LPWS and LP/WFR formulation, the optimal parametric setting is LP/WS1LP/WFR3, which is interpreted as 1.6 kWmin/m LP/WS and 0.35 kWmin/m of LP/WFR. The corresponding delta values are 3.875 and 2.6288 while the positions of 1st and 2nd were obtained by LP/WS and LP/WFR aspect ratios, respectively. It was established that the LP/WS, WS/WFR and WFR/LP are the most important aspect ratios for the laser welding of Al-Mg-Mn-Zr-Er alloy sheets. Therefore, prioritization in resource distribution should be given to these parameters according to their positions. This article serves as a source of information for welding decision-making.

Authors: Debora Fransisca , Rahma Rana Ardila , Nuraini Umi , Rahmani Hani Fitria
Published: January 2025

One of the MSMEs (Micro, Small Medium Enterprise) in the food sector located in Cibuaya Karawang area, namely Opak Ketan MSMEs, still carries out the opak production process manually, resulting in various shapes and diameters of opak. Opak ketan itself is made from a type of opak with different sizes and thicknesses, such as larger and thicker opak, and smaller opak with thin thickness and a crisp texture due to being baked. According to field analysis and interviews conducted at the research site, the manual production process presents difficulties and causes fatigue for workers, particularly in the formation of opak diameter and thickness. The printing process is done one by one (repeatedly), making it time-consuming and causing fatigue for workers who sit for long periods. As a result, the shape and thickness of opak lack precision (inconsistencies in size), leading to a lack of standardization. In terms of work activities, workers easily experience fatigue, particularly in their hands, waist, and back due to repetitive static movements. Ergonomically, working conditions are a factor that can enhance productivity, safety, and comfort for workers. Therefore, there is a need for the development and design of a suitable technology innovation model that can facilitate opak workers by creating a tool for printing opak ketan using an opak printing machine. This innovation can influence increased production capacity to be faster and standardized in shape and thickness. This design also applies the House of Quality (HOQ) model which successfully links consumer desires with a product design which produces 10 assumed criteria and 15 characteristics in order of importance. So it is concluded that the first priority that needs to be taken into account is determining price, flexibility and engine resources (fuel).

The landscape of the monastic endeavour: The choices of St Sava of Serbia
Authors: Popovic Danica
Published: January 2025

This paper approaches the question of the selection of site intended for
monastic ascetic pursuits taking the example of St Sava of Serbia. Sava?s
choices were based on his masterful knowledge of Byzantine eremitic
tradition and his own substantial monastic experience. This is evidenced by
the hesychasteria he founded: he gave physical form to the concept of locus
amoenus in the Karyes kellion of the monastery of Hilandar, while the
concept of locus horridus was embodied in the cave hermitages of the
monasteries of Studenica and Mileseva. The methodological framework of this
research is informed by current landscape studies.

Authors: Ljungdahl Johan , Hernefalk Björn , Pallin Anna , Brüggemann Anders , Hailer Nils P , Wolf Olof
Published: January 2025

Background and purpose: Evidence for long-term outcomes following acetabular fractures in older adults is limited. We aimed to evaluate mortality, complications, and need for subsequent surgical procedures in operatively and nonoperatively treated older patients with acetabular fractures.Methods: Patients aged ≥ 70 years with acetabular fractures treated at Uppsala University Hospital between 2010 and 2020 were included. Fractures were classified according to Letournel. Local medical records were analyzed and cross-referenced with the Swedish Arthroplasty Register to identify reoperations and delayed arthroplasty procedures. Follow-up time ranged from 2–12 years. Primary outcome was mortality 1 year after injury. Descriptive statistics, survival analysis using the Kaplan–Meier method, and logistic regression models were used.Results: 247 patients (67% men) with a median age of 80 years (range 70–102) were included. Most patients were ASA class 3 (67%). 148 (60%) patients were treated operatively. The 1-year mortality was 15% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9–21) in the operatively and 29% (CI 19–37) in the nonoperatively treated group. Difference in adjusted mortality rates between treatments did not reach statistical significance. 20% of patients treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) underwent some form of reoperation. In the nonoperatively treated group, 1% had a delayed THA.Conclusion: The 1-year mortality following acetabular fractures in older people was 21% (CI 15–26), underscoring the frailty of this patient group. ORIF alone was associated with a 20% reoperation rate while the rate of delayed surgical treatment in patients selected for nonoperative treatment was 1%.

In letzter Zeit hat das Interesse an Erfahrungen am Lebensende (ELEs; „end-of-life experiences“) bei Menschen zugenommen, aber ELEs bei Tieren wurden bisher nicht untersucht. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir die Ergebnisse einer Studie vor, die wir durchgeführt haben, um Berichte über bemerkenswerte Verhaltensaspekte von Tieren während ihrer letzten Lebensphase zu sammeln und zu analysieren. Auf öffentliche Aufrufe, in denen wir um Berichte über ELEs bei Tieren baten, erhielten wir zahlreiche Antworten von Tierbesitzern. Wir konnten diese Erfahrungen bestimmten Kategorien zuordnen, die wir als „letzte Abschiede“, „letzte Besuche“, „letzte Erholungen“, „Rückzug in die Einsamkeit“, „ungewöhnliche Vorausahnungen des Todes“, „körperliche Überraschungen“, „terminale Geistesklarheit bei Tieren“ und mögliche „Todesnähe-Visionen bei Tieren“ bezeichnet haben. Wir präsentieren 43 Fallberichte aus diesen verschiedenen Kategorien. Viele von ihnen
weisen auffällige Ähnlichkeiten mit bemerkenswerten Verhaltensweisen von Menschen in Todesnähe auf. Diese Ähnlichkeit zwischen tierischen und menschlichen ELEs könnte ein Zeichen für eine gemeinsame Physiologie sein, die solchen Erfahrungen zugrunde liegt. Sie könnte auch die Anerkennung dessen fördern, dass Tiere in allen Lebensphasen über ein ähnliches Innenleben verfügen wie Menschen. Dies könnte zu einem respektvolleren Umgang mit Haustieren sowie mit Tieren auf Bauernhöfen, in Zoos und in freier Wildbahn führen. Da unsere Studie jedoch nur vorläufigen Charakter besitzt und die erste ihrer Art darstellt, regen wir weitere systematische Forschung auf diesem Gebiet an.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition associated with high morbidity, especially in dialysis
patients. Anemia, a common complication, is linked to RBC count and red cell distribution width (RDW). However, the
relationship between these parameters and CKD stages, dialysis duration, and outcomes is not well explored.
Objective: This study aimed to assess variations in RBC count and RDW in dialysis-dependent CKD patients and their correlation
with CKD stage, dialysis duration, and clinical outcomes.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 120 CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis for at least 6 months was conducted. Peripheral
blood samples were analyzed for RBC count and RDW. Demographic and clinical data, including age, gender, comorbidities,
dialysis duration, and CKD stage, were reviewed. Statistical analyses included Pearson’s correlation, t-tests, and multivariate
regression.
Results: The mean RBC count was 3.2 ± 0.6 million/μL, and RDW was 16.2 ± 2.4%. A significant inverse correlation between
RBC count and RDW was found (r = -0.42, p < 0.01). Advanced CKD stages (4-5) and longer dialysis durations (≥3 years) were
linked to lower RBC counts (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified dialysis duration, CKD stage, and comorbidities like
diabetes as independent predictors of RBC count and RDW (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: RBC and RDW levels vary in dialysis-dependent CKD patients. Advanced CKD stages and longer dialysis durations
are associated with poorer hematological profiles, suggesting RDW as a potential biomarker for anemia severity. Further
research is needed for anemia management in this population.

Man as a caliph on earth was created by Allah in perfect form, but man is never free from emotional challenges such as the inferiority complex, which can hinder his spiritual and social development. The Qur'an calls for people not to feel this way, but also prohibits them from hitting the threshold that makes them arrogant, analysis is needed to find out the answer to how the mufassir interprets the verses related to the inferiority complex? And what are the limits of behaving so as not to have an inferiority complex attitude and not to result in arrogance? This study focuses on the analysis of mufassir's interpretation of Qur'anic verses related to the theme of inferiority complex, with the aim of understanding the boundaries of attitudes between arrogance and inferiority. This research is a literature review with a qualitative approach. The results of this study show that the mufassir emphasize that true strength lies in faith, solid faith is the initial key in overcoming the sense of inferiority complex, inferiority complex is the spiritual part of human beings and spiritual studies sourced from the Qur'an are the initial stages in fighting the inferiority complex. Allah commands His servants not to feel weak because they are created in the best form by Allah, with physical, intellectual, and spiritual virtues. Imam Qurthubi highlighted the importance of arousing enthusiasm and appreciating the privileges given by Allah without triggering behavior of superiority.

Pongamia (Pongamia pinnata) is a non-food plant that has the potential to be developed as a biofuel because its seeds’ oil content is up to 40%. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of seeds for germination in relation to mass cultivation and information on oil content as a production consideration. This paper aimed to describe the sensitivity of pongamia seed moisture content to germination and its oil content and also to understand the seed category. Variations in moisture content were obtained from storing seeds at ambient temperature for up to 5 months. Moisture content, morphological characters, oil content, and germination rate were examined for each storage period. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance to determine the treatment effect. The results showed that storing seeds at ambient temperature caused a decrease in moisture content. A decrease in moisture content of 29.36% in the first month’s storage significantly affected the reduction of morphological characters and seed weight. Meanwhile, during the 2–5 months storage period, the decrease in moisture content was only 2–5% and did not affect seed length. Reducing moisture content (MC) increased oil recovery but was not statistically significant. The best germination rate was 84.67%, obtained from fresh seeds (MC of 46.64%); the germination rate decreased as the moisture content decreased during storage. Pongamia should be categorized as an intermediate seed based on the seed moisture content characteristics and germination test results.

This research aims to measure and describe the extent of the difference in reading literacy ability and learning interest of students before and after mathematics instruction using Nadia Cassinie's short stories on presentation of data. Furthermore, it seeks to describe reading literacy ability in terms of learning interest in mathematics instruction using Nadia Cassinie's short stories on presentation of data. This study employs a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The research sample consisted of 30 students from Class VII D at SMP Negeri 10 Pontianak. The research instruments include tests and questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test, followed by qualitative data analysis with descriptive methods. The results show an increase in the average reading literacy ability by 79.13% and a 6.31% improvement in learning interest. Students with a high learning interest face fewer obstacles compared to those with moderate interest when it comes to high-level reading literacy ability. However, in the case of moderate reading literacy ability, students with moderate learning interest demonstrate slightly superior reading literacy ability compared to those with high learning interest. Students with moderate learning interest and low reading literacy ability are unable to meet any of the indicators for reading literacy ability.

Authors: Almuneef A. , Hagag A.
Published: January 2025

This study presents a novel fractional semi-analytical iterative approach for solving nonlinear fractional Fisher’s equations using the Caputo fractional operator. The primary objective is to provide a method that yields exact solutions to nonlinear fractional equations without requiring assumptions about nonlinear terms. By applying the Temimi-Ansari Method (TAM) with fractional calculus, this approach offers a robust solution to the time-fractional nonlinear Fisher’s equation, a model relevant in fields such as population dynamics, tumor growth, and gene propagation. In this work, tables and graphical illustrations show that the proposed method minimizes computational complexity and delivers significant accuracy across multiple cases of Fisher’s equations. The findings indicate that TAM with fractional order derivatives provides accurate, efficient approximations with reduced computational workload, showcasing the technique’s potential for addressing a wide range of nonlinear fractional differential equations.
