Quantifying Electric Charge on Cap-Pin Glass Insulator: Investigating the Impact of Pollution through Simulation and Experimental Approaches
Authors: Salhi Rabie , Mekhaldi Abdelouahab , Teguar Madjid , Kherif Omar
Published: July 2024

The objective of this paper is to investigate the behavior of electric charges on cap-pin glass insulator under 50 Hz AC voltage. The study is conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics to understand the charge location, polarity, and parameters affecting their behavior. A 2D axisymmetric insulator design is used to visualize the overall charges on the insulating system (space charge) and along the insulating surface (surface charge density) under uniform and non-uniform pollution conditions. The research shows that the total charge accumulates over the surface area of the glass material. To quantify the amount of this charge, a simulation method based on using the surface integral of the electric displacement field over this area is introduced, which is supported by experimental tests. Comparing both simulation and experimental results provides insights into the simulation reliability and the parameters affinity used to those of the real model. Moreover, the simulation helps to identify the critical area where a high amount of charges is accumulated. The  findings of this study are presented and examined.

Authors: Braga Filho Hélio , Andrade Leonardo Henrique Cardoso de , Pousa Jonatan
Published: July 2024

A partir da década de 1990, o Brasil passou por significativas transformações econômicas, especialmente na estrutura produtiva. Após atingir seu ápice nos anos 1980, a indústria de transformação começou a declinar, dando lugar a uma crescente participação do setor de serviços no Produto Interno Bruto (PIB). Paralelamente, ocorreram mudanças na demografia, distribuição setorial, na remuneração e no nível de instrução dos empregos. Desta maneira, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar essas transformações que ocorreram no município de Franca, SP, considerando sua relevância para o estudo do Desenvolvimento Regional. Para a elaboração da pesquisa foi utilizado o método dedutivo, combinando a revisão bibliográfica e análise de dados estatísticos, que obtidos de órgãos oficiais nacionais e internacionais. Os resultados mostraram que as mudanças na estrutura produtiva, demografia e composição setorial dos empregos em Franca foram similares às observadas em nível nacional. Dessa forma, o estudo justifica-se pela contemporaneidade e pertinência do tema no contexto do Desenvolvimento Regional. A análise revelou que, tanto no Brasil quanto em Franca, as transformações na estrutura produtiva e nos empregos seguem um padrão semelhante, refletindo as tendências nacionais. Esse alinhamento reforça a importância de Franca como um microcosmo para entender as dinâmicas econômicas e sociais mais amplas do país. Portanto, futuras investigações são necessárias para explorar mais detalhadamente as implicações dessas mudanças e contribuir para estratégias de desenvolvimento local e regional mais eficientes, eficazes e efetivos. Conclusivamente, os resultados atingiram os objetivos propostos, sugerindo a necessidade de novas pesquisas que possam aprofundar o estudo do Desenvolvimento Regional.

Rapid Qualitative Multi-Method Assessment of the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Wet Market Biosecurity and Local Food Security in the Philippines
Authors: Guinto Renzo , Bongcac Marianne , Santos Mara Delos
Published: July 2024

Background In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, wet markets were perceived as potential sources of novel zoonotic diseases due to the sale of live animals. Meanwhile, wet markets were also heavily impacted by the pandemic due to various hastily enforced restrictions. Purpose This study examined the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on wet markets in the Philippines, specifically on biosecurity reforms and the restrictions’ effect on local food security. Methods This exploratory qualitative research study utilized a multi-method approach consisting of media analysis, policy review, key informant interviews, and rapid ethnography in an urban and rural wet market in the Philippines. Data were cataloged, processed, and synthesized using thematic analysis. Results In the context of biosecurity, pandemic restrictions were found to be partly responsible for the decrease or even cessation in the sale of wildlife in markets known as “wildlife trade hubs.” As part of the pandemic response, only a few additional hygiene and sanitation practices were enforced at wet markets, including the use of plastic barriers and conducting more intense market disinfection. Furthermore, it was found that wet market stakeholders were excluded during the policy creation and implementation of the pandemic restrictions even as wet markets were perceived as essential services. Hence, the restrictions triggered a chain reaction across the domestic supply chain that unveiled underlying food system vulnerabilities, primarily the lack of financial capacity of small-scale producers to fully adapt and withstand sudden and prolonged disruptions to the economy. Ultimately, food prices increased, while alternative methods of food distribution such as online retailing and satellite markets emerged. Discussion Despite the additional temporary hygiene and sanitation practices enforced during the pandemic and the consequent decrease in the sale of wildlife, overall wet market biosecurity needs to be further improved. The restrictions greatly affected the local food supply, disproportionately impacting both small-scale producers and low-income consumers. Moving forward, there is a need to apply a proactive, whole-of-society approach to pandemic response, especially involving wet markets. Different sectors must exercise greater communication and collaboration in order to mitigate the negative impacts on local food security and maximize the positive benefits of improving biosecurity.
Disparate Impact of COVID-19 on Marginalized Communities
Authors: Corliss David J
Published: July 2024

Disasters of all kinds often have a particularly severe impact on minorities and other marginalized communities, and COVID-19 has been no exception. There have been reports of high death rates among African American, Native American, immigrants, prison populations and other marginalized groups. This analysis examines the disparate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among different groups. The New York Times COVID-19 database metrics provide the outcomes, using deaths per capita during the first wave of the pandemic. Counties with the highest percent population BIPOC, Indigenous and below the poverty line are compared to those with those with lowest levels. Odds ratios are calculated and compared with published levels for medical risk factors (e.g., chronic lung disease). The two factors most at risk, both with an odds ratio of about 10, are persons of color and cardiac patients. Implications of these results are discussed to advise potential mitigation strategies.
Inmates: Adult Male and Female Inmate Population: Social Vulnerability Index and Influential Risk Factors
Authors: Tillzewein Heather
Published: July 2024

There is an increase of the adult inmate population in the United Sates. This study looks at the correlation between the adult inmate population and factors that influence the prevalence of the population such as, socioeconomic status, housing type, disability, housing composition, minority status, and language. Using the Social Vulnerability Survey and the Census of Jail 2019 survey, the researcher was able to look at the significance of several factors on the inmate population. A Pearson correlation measured the overall SVI percentile ranking per county (N=2,465) with each adult male and female inmate population. A multiple regression was used for all four themes, the adult male inmate population and the overall SVI percentile ranking was significant (F=.102, p<.001). The adult female inmate population and overall, SVI percentile ranking was also significant (r=.074, p<0.001). All themes were significant for the male inmate population except for Socioeconomic Status (F=59.8661, p<.001). The analysis showed that all four themes and the adult female population were significant (F=66.749, p<.001). For Female Inmate population all four themes were significant. These factors could influence the prevalence of the prison population due to the previous analysis identifying that minority status and low-income housing were risk factors.
Inclusive Language / Lenguaje Inclusivo (Bilingual/Bilingue)
Authors: Medina Ilia
Published: July 2024

Background Our updated understanding of diverse gender identities is rarely reflected in either medical forms or in usage toward trans and non-binary people, creating mistrust and unease with healthcare providers in many queer communities. Methods Scholarly articles on language as it pertains to gender minorities; studies on trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming groups; personal work as an administrator of support groups for non-binary people, as well as experience with healthcare obstacles as a non-binary trans person of color. Research on new inclusive linguistic forms in Spanish in increasing use academically and socially in numerous Hispanic countries, even though the Eurocentric authority on the Spanish language (Real Academia Española) has yet to codify gender-neutral language. Spanish version has added roots in decolonizing culture and language to recognize the modern peoples using it worldwide. Results A compilation of options and correct terms to use in updated forms and to adopt into the everyday language among office staff and healthcare providers, both in Spanish and English. This is meant as an evolving resource for Spanish and English-speaking people, facilities, and offices to create inclusive workplaces and practices in any place these languages are spoken. A compilation of options and correct terms to use in updated forms and to adopt into the everyday language among office staff and healthcare providers, both in Spanish and English. This is meant as an evolving resource for Spanish and English-speaking people, facilities, and offices to create inclusive workplaces and practices in any place these languages are spoken. Discussion/ Conclusion The importance and proper usage of inclusive language (bilingual: English and Spanish) in medical forms and medical practices (and beyond) is overdue and yet still relatively rare. Based not only on studies and analysis of various queer communities, but also on common issues of access and respect from patients in this communities, using correct pronouns and including up-to-date language on forms and by office staff and healthcare providers helps establish relationships of trust, understanding, and mutual respect. Given current attacks particularly focused on trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people, it is especially important to assert the existence and validity of individuals of diverse gender identities and presentations, and to address them in a manner that fosters a sense of inclusion, safety, and dignity. Because these ideas are still relatively new and not in widespread use, it is understanding that there is still confusion around these topics. Providing clear, concise guidelines and terms is in the interest not only of improving interactions and relations, but also in normalizing already normal, yet politicized, variants of antiquated binary models of gender.

Background Optional vaccines are those not included in the Indian National Immunization Programme and given on an optional paid basis. They prevent common causes of morbidity and mortality in the Indian population. Objective To estimate the coverage of select optional vaccines (Seasonal Influenza, pre-exposure Anti Rabies, Pneumococcal, MMR, Typhoid, Varicella, Hepatitis A) and to explore the barriers and facilitators to uptake of select optional vaccines among children in the age group 3-6 years in an urban setting of Vellore District. Methodology A community based cross sectional study was conducted in the urban population of Vellore Town among children in the age group of 3-6 years. 30*7 cluster sampling with probability proportional to size was used to obtain a sample size of 210 households. A semi-structured interviewer based, pilot tested questionnaire was administered after taking informed consent. Results A total of 220 children from 210 households were included in the study, of which 46% (101) had not received any optional vaccine. The individual vaccine coverage were ranged from 0.9% for Anti Rabies vaccine to 46.8% for MMR Vaccine. High socioeconomic status (p less than 0.001), high maternal educational level (p less than 0.001), health professional’s advice (p less than 0.001), access of caregiver to smart phones (p less than 0.001), and birth in a private hospital (p less than 0.001) were found to be predictors of good vaccine uptake. The barriers to vaccine coverage observed were lack of knowledge, cost of the vaccine, non-availability and false knowledge of apparent insufficiency. Conclusion We recommend that medical practitioners be encouraged to counsel caregivers regarding the available optional vaccines and their benefits. At the end of the interview, pamphlets with information regarding optional vaccines were given to the caregivers.

A SWOC Analysis of Health Politics in Globalized World. A Scoping Review. Background Public health is politics as said in the oxford textbook of public health. Health is political because power is exercised over it as part of a wider economic, social and political system. Social determinants are amenable to political interventions and are thereby dependent on political action or more usually, inaction. Health politics or politics of health is an interdisciplinary field of study concerned with the analysis of social and political power over the health status of individuals and societies. Factors such as housing, income and employment indeed many of the issues that dominate political life are key determinants of our health and well-being. Changing this system requires political awareness and political struggle.

This study introduces the Spherical Fermatean Neutrosophic Sets (SFNSs), representing a significant advancement in the realm of Neutrosophic Sets (NSs) and Fermatean neutrosophic sets (FNSs). In decision making scenarios involving diverse perspectives, a mere average of decision values may fail to capture the entire spectrum of viewpoints. To address this limitation, the SFNS is proposed as a comprehensive solution. It features a spherical representation that encompasses membership, non-membership and indeterminacy functions at its core, complemented by a defined radius. This spherical construct facilitates the encapsulation of all decision makers’ opinions within its bounds, providing a holistic perspective. Leveraging its geometric structure, the SFNS excels in resolving ambiguity and risk with greater accuracy and effectiveness compared to conventional FNSs. This innovative approach aims to better accommodate the complexities of decision making involving diverse perspectives. Selecting the best material for a structural engineering project is given as numerical example at the end.

Localization is an extremely important component of applications that make use of wireless sensor networks. It has a substantial impact on academics as well as real-time sensor deployment applications in the aim of lowering the amount of energy that is used while simultaneously locating unknown nodes. The process of obtaining the coordinates along an axis that represent the locations of the sensor nodes is referred to as localization. The accuracy of locating the positions of the nodes varies depending on the environmental conditions, the type of nodes, the type of application, and the type of localization methods used. A standard localization method known as distance vector hop (DV-hop) localization will be able to determine the positions of unknown nodes with typical accuracy with the assistance of beacon nodes based on Internet of things. The DV-hop and improved weighted centroid localization algorithms, in addition to the suggested boosted weight centroid-based localization approach, are both addressed in this article. The suggested boosted weight centroid localization technique is utilized to find nodes in the remote area of the WSN while conserving energy. This is accomplished with the assistance of measurements involving both the nodes and the centroid. The modified weight metric is utilized in the process of carrying out the task of localisation of an unknown node. The performance of BWCLA is evaluated based on a number of different metrics, including accuracy in localization, average localization error, total packets utilized, and energy usage.

Published: July 2024

Oral Pre-Cancer Lesions (OPLs) including leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and submucous fibrosis denote biochemical and histopathologically altered changes in the oral mucosa marked by subcellular and structural anomalies evocating of potential for a malignant transformation, which is primarily caused by tobacco exposure. Early diagnosis is of paramount importance to halt the progression of premalignant lesions to high-grade dysplasia and even oral cancer. Objective: To find the diagnostic and prognostic potential of biochemical and haematological markers in Tobacco Users (TU) with OPL. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed to perform this systematic review. After retrieving 170 epidemiological studies published from 2013 to 2023, through multiple databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Sci-hub, and Science Direct), 21 were included to determine the potential of biochemical and haematological markers in risk stratification and early detection of OPL. Results: According to the following systematic review, extracted data showed specific biochemical and haematological indicators that could serve as markers in risk stratification and early detection of OPL. The OPL group exhibited significantly higher levels of biochemical markers IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, HCC-1, PF-4, FRR, TP, MDA, MMP-12, and Ceruloplasmin and hematological markers NLR, PLR, CRP, ESR, WBC, and low Hb as compared to the control group. Following risk stratification, a group with older age, tobacco association with OPL, and elevated levels of markers were categorised as a higher-risk group. Conclusions: The biochemical and haematological markers are potential promising markers in the early detection of OPL from malignant lesions with diagnostic and prognostic significance.

The use of party appointed experts in international arbitration, as with domestic litigation, is widespread. However, their use too often comes at a significant expense, bringing challenges of partiality and ineffective deployment in proceedings. This article discusses leading international case management techniques in respect of party appointed experts, with a particular focus on methods addressing bias in party appointed expert evidence in domestic common law courts and international arbitration. Best practice directions are proposed and examples of expert protocol used by the author in his arbitration practice are appended to the article for further reference and to assist in maximising the value of party appointed expert evidence to parties and Tribunals.
A Comparative Analysis of the Approaches used to determine the Four Laws of Commercial Arbitration
Authors: Qiu Diana
Published: July 2024

The law governing the arbitration agreement (law of the AA) determines how the arbitration agreement is interpreted and what jurisdiction a tribunal has. Where parties have not expressly chosen the law of the AA, a number of different approaches exist to determine it. The multiplicity of these approaches juxtaposes uncomfortably against the advantages of arbitration as a predictable and efficient means of alternative dispute resolution. This article conducts a comparative analysis between the approaches used to determine the other laws of international commercial arbitration, namely the curial law and the substantive law, where parties have not chosen them. This article applies common principles drawn from those approaches to set out a preferred approach to determine the law of the AA. It concludes by arguing that a presumption favouring the curial law should arise to apply to the arbitration agreement in the event of a stalemate between the curial and substantive laws.

The Quest for Transparency in Investor-State Arbitration: Are the Transparency Rules and the Mauritius Convention Effective Instruments of Reform?
Authors: Moneke Enuma U.
Published: July 2024

In recent years, critics have questioned the legitimacy of international investment law, particularly investor-State arbitration on the grounds, amongst others, that confidentiality and lack of transparency in arbitral proceedings pose a threat to the basic principles of public law and democracy. In response, minimal transparency measures have been introduced by States, regional international economic organizations and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) over the last two decades. More recently, the Transparency Rules and the Mauritius Convention were introduced by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) for a more far-reaching impact. These instruments have been widely applauded as the much awaited solution for entrenching transparency and enhancing the legitimacy of treaty-based investor-State arbitration. But will they really establish transparency in investor-State arbitration considering the opt-out provisions in Article 1(1) of the Transparency Rules and Article 3(1) of the Mauritius Convention? In attempting this question, the article examined the concept of treaty based investor-State arbitration, its public character and the possible effect the opt-out provisions could have on the quest for transparency. It posited that a mechanism that allows parties – States and foreign investors – a choice whether or not to apply these instruments in a given arbitration will impede the attainment of the objective of entrenching transparency in investor-State arbitration.
Semi-Secular Arbitration in Islamic Banking and Finance Disputes: A Proposal
Authors: Blanke Gordon
Published: July 2024

This article explores the resolution of Islamic finance disputes through arbitration. It discusses in some detail the reason for which national courts meet natural limitations in the application of the Islamic Shari'a and are as such an imperfect forum for the resolution of Islamic finance disputes. Arbitration more specifically allows a more flexible approach to the governing law, admitting the application of the Islamic Shari'a as a body of legal rules. In order to accommodate Western users of Islamic finance products, the article proposes the introduction of a hybrid form of arbitration, namely semi-secular arbitration that allows the combination of mandatory requirements of the Islamic Shari'a with features of international commercial arbitration whilst ensuring a Shari'acompliant outcome.

Authors: Hennessee Karl
Published: July 2024

The arbitration community of institutions, practitioners, arbitrators and academics compete for attention with frequent announcements of ‘innovations’ and related claims of increased efficiency and other inchoate benefits. This article calls for a standardised definition of innovation and its application to proposals for change in the world of commercial arbitration, seeking an assessment based on outcomes and increased relevance for the ultimate commercial users that arbitration is meant to serve. Examples of recently announced innovations are reviewed from an empirical perspective, by comparing similar initiatives and then drawing the author’s personal conclusions on how well the exemplars meet the expectations set by their proponents and the objective standard proposed by the author.
Institutional Leadership or Institutional Overreach?: Overriding the Parties’ Agreement for the Number of Arbitrators in Expedited Proceedings
Authors: Tien Chong Daniel Ling
Published: July 2024

The institutions of international arbitration have played an increasingly active role in arbitral governance. The claim that they merely provide administrative services no longer holds water. With the ability to amend institutional rules, update practice guidelines, and revise institutional practices, they wield the power to efficiently effect change – a power which no other actor in international arbitration comes close to having. However, it has been said that in their quest to lead change, some institutions have overstepped their mandate and overreached their powers. Based on a variety of primary and secondary sources, this article examines the situations in which institutions have overridden the parties’ agreement for the number of arbitrators appointed in cases of expedited proceedings. Thereafter, it seeks to analyse whether institutions, in a bid to push progress have overstepped their authority.
Is an Asymmetric Disputes Clause Valid and Enforceable?
Authors: Ashford Peter
Published: July 2024

Asymmetric clauses are a regular feature of commercial contracts, especially in finance transactions. The apparent unfairness reflected by one party having different, and often ‘better’, rights than the counterparty has given rise to a number of reactions. In many courts, party autonomy, in agreeing to the asymmetry, is upheld. There are sound policy reasons to do so. Elsewhere, the principle of equal treatment is invoked to challenge the asymmetric clause. Several major decisions upholding the equal treatment challenge have been handed down. Many of these have either been misunderstood, misapplied or have subsequently been clarified in favour of broad party autonomy.
The Power (Or Otherwise) to Disqualify Counsel and Experts: A Review
Authors: Ashford Peter
Published: July 2024

The controversial power to disqualify counsel is often deployed but rarely analysed from first principles: if such a power exists, it must derive from somewhere or something. The competing arguments are contractual and status. Although in many cases it will not make any difference, the basis for any such power ought to be known. Furthermore, is the power to disqualify restricted to counsel or can it extend to others involved in the arbitration process, such as an expert? If so, does the analysis of the source of such a power apply equally to participants other than counsel? If not, on what basis can the power to prevent an expert from appearing be exercised? Can connections involve more than one degree of connection or must there be a closer degree of proximity? If the power to remove or disqualify an expert does not apply on the facts, what is the result?

Alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins are some of the antibacterial components found in the red betel (Piper crocatum). The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial inhibitory power of red betel leaf (Piper crocatum) extract with cefadroxil against staphylococcus aureus and determine how well the extract inhibits bacterial growth in vitro using the diffusion method. An in vitro laboratory experiment with a true experimental post-test only control group design was the design used for this research. It was found that 30% (16.3mm) and 45% (16.8mm) concentrates had a strong resistance response, while 60% (18.8mm) and 100% (22.1mm) concentrates had the inhibitory response is very strong. In the positive control group, the inhibitory power was found to be 30.6mm, which shows that the inhibition zone formed was larger than in all red betel leaf extract treatments. All treatment group data were normally distributed, according to the results of statistical analysis in homogeneity and normality tests (p>0.05). Staphylococcus aureus grows more slowly and in fewer numbers when the red betel leaf extract content is greater. To determine the level of safety and toxicity, further studies on the antibacterial properties of red betel leaf extract in vivo are needed.
