The western part of South Sumatra Province is situated near Bukit Barisan. Therefore, the topography is characterized by hills and mountains. This condition makes the area vulnerable to ground movement. Information on the risk level and type of ground movement is very important for the region's development. This paper presents the mapping of risk level and type of ground movement along the national road system in South Sumatra Province. The map was developed based on slope condition data collected and tabulated in the Slope Management System developed by the Ministry of Public Works based on several parameters. These parameters were processed and analyzed using ArcGIS software. The risk level is classified as low, medium, high, and very high. The type of ground movement is categorized as debris flow, rock fall, slope failure, rock mass failure, embankment failure, rotation failure, and translation failure. The study uses data from 2018 and 2021. Results show that most ground movement on road segments 36, 37, 38, 18, 19, and 21 is slope failure. The map suggests an increase in the number and level of risk of slope failures from 28 in 2018 to 45 in 2021. The map could be used as preliminary information but not as a replacement for slope surveys and investigations.

Authors:   Department of Civil Engineering, Universitas Riau, 28293, Indonesia
Published: February 2024

Research in estimating losses and harm experienced by structures in the high seismic zone had been conducted in previous studies. Yet there is limited study carried out in low-moderate seismic areas. Therefore, an accurate method for calculating losses incurred due to earthquake events is needed in assessing the performance of building structures. This study aims to analyze the seismic risk of government buildings in Indragiri Hilir Regency Riau Province according to FEMA P-58. Seismic risk analysis was carried out on four reinforced concrete buildings. The four buildings reviewed in this study were categorized as low-rise buildings (Immigration Office) and medium-rise buildings (Regent's Office, Puri Husada Hospital, and Rusunawa). The buildings’ location according to SNI 1726-2019 was categorized as soft soil class. The results showed that the Immigration Office, Regent's Office, Puri Husada Hospital and Rusunawa were in a safe state. This is drawn by the value of the collapse probability in the current search condition, which is lower than the value of the collapse probability in the upper bound condition. Regent's Office and Rusunawa were the most vulnerable buildings where the value of the mean loss probability was the highest, namely 23.2%.

Pewarnaan bakteri merupakan salah satu materi dari Praktikum Mikrobiologi yang harus ditempuh oleh mahasiswa di salah satu Program Studi Vokasi Kesehatan. Penggunaan pewarna bakteri sintetis berbahaya terhadap manusia dan lingkungan hidup karena bersifat mutagenik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui potensi dari ekstrak kelopak bunga telang (Clitorea ternatea L.) sebagai alternatif pewarna bakteri sederhana berbasis bahan alam ramah lingkungan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen laboratorium dengan menggunakan analisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ekstrak kelopak bunga telang (C. ternatea L.) memiliki kemampuan untuk mewarnai sel bakteri Gram-positif Staphylococcus aureus dan bakteri Gram-negatif Escherichia coli dengan kontras yang dapat dilihat di mikroskop. Bila dilihat dari kualitas pewarnaan nya, preprat yang diwarnai dengan ekstrak kelopak bunga telang memberikan kualitas pewarnaan yang kurang baik bila dibandingkan pewarna bakteri seperti safranin dan kristal violet. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah ekstrak kelopak bunga telang (C. ternatea L.) belum bisa dipergunakan secara langsung sebagai alternatif pewarna bakteri sederhana berbasis bahan alam ramah lingkungan karena membutuhkan penambahan co-pigment sebagai stabilisator dari antosianin.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Magnesium plays various roles in metabolism necessary for homeostasis, and supplementation becomes necessary when the satisfactory amount cannot be obtained through diet. Therefore, quality control becomes essential to ensure product safety through tests based on current legislation. Objective: To evaluate the quality of dietary supplements based on magnesium chloride, marketed in the form of capsules from four nationally distributed brands, sold in pharmacies. Method: The description of the samples was performed by extracting information from the labels and observing visual aspects with the naked eye. Physical-chemical quality control tests were used: average weight, disintegration, assay, and content uniformity as described in the current official compendium. Results: According to the labeled information, the content of the samples ranged from 450 mg to 600 mg of magnesium chloride. Visually, the casings of three samples were transparent, while one was opaque, filled in two samples. The content consisted of powder with variable coloration ranging from white to yellowish, with coarse and aggregated particles. The tests revealed that only sample A did not comply with the official compendium in terms of weight. In the disintegration test, all samples disintegrated within the established time. Only samples A and C achieved the specified content. None of the samples met the content uniformity limit. Conclusions: All analyzed samples showed some nonconformity related to content, suggesting an urgent need for specific oversight in the production of this type of product.
First as a tragedy, second as a norm: global standards and Brazilian policies on the safety of mine tailings
Authors: Barros Rita de Cássia , Mendonça Talles Girardi de
Published: February 2024

This article seeks to analyze the regulatory framework that supervises the safety of tailings dams on an international, national and state scale, with emphasis on the management of mining dams built in Minas Gerais using the upstream technique – considered the most critical for the risk of collapse. To do this, we carried out a deductive analysis based on a literature review, combined with an inductive analysis from secondary sources (news items, reports and standards). We argue that the standards which have gained the most support from the industry, by not expressly prohibiting the existence of upstream dams, present contradictions that reproduce rather than remedy the vulnerability of territories exposed to the social and environmental risks produced by mining in Brazil, and worldwide. Based on the analyses proposed herein, we aim to understand how the problem of tailings management has been addressed by institutions on both a national and international level, thus identifying the effectiveness of standards and policies related to the problem of upstream dams.
Primeiro como tragédia, depois como norma: os padrões globais e as políticas brasileiras de segurança de rejeitos de mineração

Published: February 2024

Este artigo busca analisar o quadro normativo que regula a segurança de barragens de rejeitos em escala internacional, nacional e estadual, com destaque para a gestão de barragens de mineração construídas em Minas Gerais pelo método de alteamento a montante – considerado o mais crítico para o risco de rompimento. Para isso, realizamos uma análise dedutiva a partir da revisão de literatura, combinada à análise indutiva procedente de fontes secundárias (notícias, relatórios e normas). Nosso argumento é de que os padrões que conquistaram maior adesão da indústria, ao não proibirem expressamente a existência de barragens a montante, evidenciam contradições que reproduzem mais do que remediam a vulnerabilidade dos territórios expostos aos riscos sociais e ambientais produzidos pela mineração no Brasil e no mundo. Esperamos, a partir das análises aqui propostas, compreender como o problema da gestão de rejeitos vem sendo endereçado pelas instituições em âmbito nacional e internacional, identificando a efetividade dos padrões e políticas relacionados ao problema das barragens a montante.
Pre-Service Teachers Perceptions and Knowledge in Padangsidimpuan City : Concepts of Trigonometric
Authors: Siregar Torang
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper explored pre-service teachers’ perceptions and knowledge of trigonometric concepts. Convenience sampling technique was used to select a sample of 200 (50 females, 150 males) second year science/mathematics pre-service teachers from two Colleges of Education in the Padangsidimpuan City. Trigonometry Perception Questionnaire (TPQ) and Trigonometry Assessment Test (TAT) were used to collect data on pre-service teachers’ perceptions and conceptual knowledge of trigonometry. Data were coded and keyed into Statistical Package for Service Solutions (SPSS version 20) and analysed using descriptive statistics. The results suggested that pre-service teachers perceived trigonometry as abstract, difficult and boring to learn; and had limited conceptual knowledge of basic trigonometric concepts. Consequently, more that 65 % of them were unable to construct and reconstruct the appropriate mental structures for meaningful understanding to enable them respond to important basic trigonometry tasks. To achieve quality mathematics education, teacher educators must change their instructional practice and teach for understanding. Since understanding is the key to teacher’s instructional actions, processes and knowledge, we recommend teaching trigonometry for understanding during teacher preparation.
REMOVAL OF DRUGS FROM AQUEOUS MATRIXES USING A REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE

Published: February 2024

Pollution of water bodies by micropollutants is a problem of growing concern, especially regarding contamination with drug residues and metabolites. The presence of these substances in surface waters is related to deleterious consequences for the population and the environment. The incorrect disposal of drug residues and the low efficiency of conventional water treatment methods require the use of alternative methods, such as the use of membrane separation processes for the treatment of effluents. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a reverse osmosis membrane for the removal of ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium from an aqueous matrix. For this, permeation tests were performed with aqueous solutions of diclofenac and ibuprofen at a concentration of 10 mg∙L-1, alone and together. The hydraulic permeability of the membrane and the drug rejection efficiency were evaluated. The presence of drugs in the solution had little influence on the hydraulic permeability of the membrane. The minimum removal efficiency of both substances was greater than 98.5 %, generating a permeate stream practically free of drugs, whether evaluated separately or in the same solution. These results indicate the operational robustness of the membrane since neither the permeability nor the rejection were altered by the fact that we have the two drugs combined, in addition to demonstrating the potential use of reverse osmosis as a treatment method for the removal of residues and traces of drugs and other difficult-to-treat organic substances in aqueous matrices.

Published: February 2024

Research aim: This report aims to illustrate a true picture of cost accounting standard practices in different manufacturing organisations in Bangladesh. This article tries to analyse the views of diversified personnel engaged with the cost accounting standards directly or indirectly. Design/Methodology/Approach: The researchers use different statistical tests for this study. It is a quantitative study with a structured questionnaire used to conduct the survey. For analysing the statistical tests, the authors use Microsoft Excel and SPSS 26 along with a three-point Likert scale. Research finding: The results of this study show that most manufacturing organisations operating in Bangladesh practise the Bangladesh Cost Accounting Standards (BCAS). Most of the employees working in manufacturing organisations are familiar with BCAS. This study also finds that BCAS helps in determining costs more accurately and appropriately. This paper further identifies the factors responsible for not implementing BCAS in manufacturing organisations, and lists these firms’ future plans regarding BCAS. The role of Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) in implementing the standards is also identified here. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This paper will assist researchers and policymakers as well as concerned authorities in getting an overview on the practice and implementation of BCAS in relevant manufacturing organisations. Practitioner/Policy implication: This paper will help manufacturing organisations recognise the significance of practising and implementing BCAS. Research limitation: The small sample size is a substantial limitation of this study. However, future research can be done with a larger data set from different sources.
Economic crises and factors fostering smaller economic downturn and speedier recovery
Authors:   University of Latvia, Rimsevics Ilmars
Published: February 2024

COVID-19 pandemic caught the world by surprise. On March 11th, 2020, World Health Organization (WHO) announced the global pandemic, and governments started to initiate various kinds of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) and disease containment measures. These NPI measures reduced the mobility of the population and slowed down business activities. State governments had to come up with viable fiscal support packages for the health and economic sectors. It created a unique opportunity for economists and academia to compare the effectiveness of different state governments and policies vis-a-vis the consequences of suddenly imposed health and economic challenges. It raised the issue of why in some countries the depth of the crisis (GDP % change) and speed of recovery from the crisis (attaining the level of 2019 GDP) was different. In order to comprehend the complexity of various factors influencing economic developments, this article aims to research economic and other social-economic factors defining the depth of the crisis and speed of recovery. The article will also try to establish whether these factors could be associated with more financial and fiscal resources needed in the due course and further increase of the outstanding public debt and debt service costs in the future. The author will be using the regression method to compare various economic variables. Results prove that stringency and NPI measures were not the only factors influencing the depth of the crisis. Research findings indicate that public debt plays a crucial role in precluding the recovery and efficient use of fiscal resources. However, the quality of institutions, governance, and confidence in government are clear contributors to the efficient use of limited fiscal resources and shallower economic crisis and speedier recovery, too.

The design and management of social and economic systems, which are not coordinated with the possibilities of the natural environment, its reproductive capacity and the laws of nature, have created such trends, the effects of which neither the planet nor its inhabitants can withstand for a long time. Without management and outside of management, it is fundamentally impossible to move into a new quality and ensure sustainable development in the long term, covering the system of cycles - crises of modern world civilization. The purpose of this article is to describe a multi-level model for designing (planning) and managing the sustainable development of socioeconomic objects in the invariant coordinates' system using power (energy) units of measures. The novelty of the approach lies in the fact that, based on the analysis of socioeconomic, technical and environmental factors that determine the sustainable development, natural science meters are determined, reduced to universal power unit of measurement in systems that are open at the input and output in terms of energy. Within the framework of the proposed design model, the data of the Central Statistical Office of the EU, the World Bank and the United Nations Organization database were used for calculations. The main results presented in the article were calculated and primary interpreted for Latvia. Latvia's situation in the period 2008-2019 can be characterized as unsustainable development, and if it continues, it would mean long-term stagnation and further degradation.

Published: February 2024

The use of big data in marketing in Latvia is a relatively new and unexplored field, therefore the most important information about the possibilities of using big data in marketing and the limitations related to it has not been collected so far. In order for company management and marketing specialists to be able to manage the risks arising from the use of big data and the implementation of privacy policies, it is necessary to identify them, assess the main causes and analyse the impact of risks on consumer behavior. Despite the rapid development of technology, many companies avoid the use of big data, and the interest of consumers in the use and processing of their data is also growing. The research objective is to evaluate the scientific and practical problems of big data use and privacy, to identify the main actualities of big data use in marketing, the advantages and limitations of use, as well as to investigate consumer attitudes towards the use of big data. In order to attain the objective of the research, a literature review of public databases, literature and research articles is performed followed by interviews of experts representing big data analytics in Latvia and consumer survey. As a result of the research, it was concluded that consumers' knowledge of big data use and processing technologies is relatively low, therefore there is a low interest in privacy compliance and violations, and the size of the company does not affect the awareness of the importance of using big data in marketing, making business decisions and conducting company consumer analysis.
Cooperation with diaspora professionals working in international organisations as a resource for development
Authors:   University of Latvia, Bela Baiba
Published: February 2024

The diaspora is increasingly seen as a potential resource for development and the ways in which the diaspora is involved in the development of the country of origin are becoming more diverse. Review of scientific literature shows that there has been little research on the perspective of highly skilled diaspora professionals on cooperation benefits for their homelands, as well as diaspora engagement for home country development and for diaspora diplomacy are rarely linked. The article draws attention to the perspective of highly qualified Latvian diaspora professionals on cooperation with Latvia and the benefits to the country from such cooperation, linking cooperation for diaspora diplomacy and for development. The article will also examine whether the benefits of cooperation identified in other studies (mainly from the state viewpoint) coincide with the vision of diaspora professionals on such benefits. The data used in the analysis is derived from the study “The involvement of Latvian professionals in diaspora diplomacy and the potential of network diplomacy” and further analysis is possible thanks to the State research programme “New solutions to study demographic and migration processes for the development of Latvian society”. The main results illustrate the framework for cooperation between diaspora professionals and the public administration in Latvia, the most significant benefits of diaspora diplomacy and the benefits from diaspora engagement for development (the transfer of social capital, as well as the transfer of experience, knowledge, ideas and practices to the public administration and other sectors). The data reveals high readiness of highly skilled Latvian diaspora professionals to cooperate, and diverse benefits of cooperation for national development and international visibility of Latvia.

OBJECTIVE

To understand preferences for features of weight loss programs among adults with or at risk of type 2 diabetes in the U.K.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a discrete choice experiment with 3,960 U.K. adults living with overweight (n = 675 with type 2 diabetes). Preferences for seven characteristics of weight loss programs were analyzed. Simulations from choice models using the experimental data predicted uptake of available weight loss programs. Patient groups comprising those who have experience with weight loss programs, including from minority communities, informed the experimental design.

RESULTS

Preferences did not differ between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes. Preferences were strongest for type of diet. Healthy eating was most preferred relative to total diet replacement (odds ratio [OR] 2.24; 95% CI 2.04–2.44). Individual interventions were more popular than group interventions (OR 1.40; 95% CI 1.34–1.47). Participants preferred programs offering weight loss of 10–15 kg (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.28–1.47) to those offering loss of 2–4 kg. Online content was preferred over in-person contact (OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.18–1.30). There were few differences in preferences by gender or ethnicity, although weight loss was more important to women than to men, and individuals from ethnic minority populations identified more with programs where others shared their characteristics. Modeling suggested that tailoring programs to individual preferences could increase participation by ∼17 percentage points (68% in relative terms).

CONCLUSIONS

Offering a range of weight loss programs targeting the preferred attributes of different patient groups could potentially encourage more people to participate in weight loss programs and support those living with overweight to reduce their weight.

The Moderating Role of Family Functioning in the Relationship between Dark Triad Personality and Cyberbullying among Undergraduates
Authors: Osita Ike Obinna
Published: February 2024

The emergence of modern technology has increased negative vices such as cyberbullying. This form of aggression has increased in intensity among the youths. However, ways of ameliorating this menace to curtail its debilitating effects have not been fully explored. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the moderating role of family functioning in the relationship between dark triad personality and cyberbullying among undergraduates. The participants were five hundred and sixty-five (565) undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 30 (Mean age 21.99; SD = 2.82) drawn through purposive sampling from a sample of Nigerian undergraduate students. Self-report measures of the 27-item Short Dark Triad Questionnaire (SD3), Cyber Victim and Bullying Scale (CVBS), and Family APGAR Scale were used for data collection. The hypotheses were tested using the Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS version 3.00. The results showed that dark triad personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) were positively associated with cyberbullying among undergraduate students. Family functioning is negatively associated with cyberbullying. In addition, family functioning moderated the relationship between dark triad personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) and cyberbullying among undergraduate students. The study revealed that dysfunctional family functioning increased the extent to which students engage in cyberbullying in the presence of a dark triad personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy).

Published: February 2024

Motor induksi banyak diaplikasikan dalam dunia industri dan merupakan komponen terpenting yang harus diperhatikan kinerjanya. Kerusakan dari motor induksi umumnya terjadi pada bagian dalam motor. Seperti kerusakan pada bearing maupun kerusakan pada rotor. Mendeteksi kerusakan merupakan salah satu metode yang digunakan untuk mengetahui kondisi dari motor induksi, salah satunya adalah pendeteksian melalui getaran pada motor. Kekurangan dari pendeteksian pada getaran adalah adanya kontak terhadap motor induksi dan harganya sangat mahal. Metode ini dirasa kurang praktis bila diterapkan pada mesin yang beroperasi di daerah yang sempit karena menghendaki pemasangan sensor yang tepat pada objek ukur yang terkadang membahayakan operator dan instrument pengukuran. Untuk menghindari hal yang tidak diinginkan, digunakanlah pendeteksian suara. Suara yang dihasilkan motor induksi akan direkam menggunakan mikrophone, kemudian sinyal suara diolah agar menghasilkan spektogram. Data spektogram ini nantinya akan diolah menggunakan metode klasifikasi Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Terdapat 2 data yang diklasifikasi yaitu motor kondisi sehat dan motor kondisi rusak. Hasil pembelajaran dari Convolutional Neural Network kemudian diterapkan pada STM32F746G berupa model sistem CNN . Dari hasil percobaan, pada fase training sistem berhasil membedakan suara antara motor sehat dan motor rusak dengan tingkat akurasi sebesar 92,4% dan pada fase testing sistem dapat membedakan suara motor rusak dan motor sehat dengan tingkat akurasi rata-rata sebesar 88,325%.

Este artigo visa recuperar metáforas associadas ao contexto de guerra ou bélico utilizadas neste período de pandemia, a fim de verificar se esse emprego constrói representações coletivas da realidade ou se constitui em uma dissimulação de práticas. Toma como referencial teórico basilar a literatura de Lakoff e Johnson (2002) denominada de Metáforas da vida cotidiana, inclusive da área médica com Susan Contag com seu livro A doença como uma metáfora, 1984, entre outros pesquisadores que discutem o tema atualmente. O corpus compõe-se de nove manchetes e seus lides de notícias divulgadas em sites, jornalísticos, médicos e governamentais, no ano de 2020 e 2021, que versem sobre o tema “vencer a guerra contra Covid”.  Justifica-se esta pesquisa em função de que as metáforas estão presentes no nosso dia a dia e seu uso vai além de uma figura estilística como muitos apregoam, podendo orientar dadas práticas e comportamentos em diferentes segmentos. A análise revelou que o emprego da metáfora de guerra construiu representações coletivas para as pessoas como se de fato estivessem em uma guerra e dissimulou situações em termos de outras, levando até mesmo a um falso entendimento dos fatos, o que pode ter resultado em certas ações, embora não fossem as mais adequadas. Retoma-se, por fim, Sontag (1984) para quem a metáfora no contexto da saúde não poderia ser utilizada por trazer conceitos pejorativos e preconceituosos em relação a certas doenças como o câncer, por exemplo, gerando com isso distorções.

Artificial intelligence (AI) integration in academic writing has gained significant attention due to its potential impact on authorship, the natural character of academic works, and ethical considerations. This Study aims to assess the faculty members' perceptions on their current usage of AI in academic writing and explore its future implications. The research involved an online survey administered to 68 faculty members responding to closed and open-ended questions. The study revealed faculty members' perceptions of AI integration in academic writing and its implications for authorship and the authenticity of academic work. Findings reveal widespread adoption of AI tools among faculty members, offering efficiency, productivity, and accuracy benefits in areas like grammar checks, reference management, writing assistance, and plagiarism detection. However, concerns arise over authorship preservation and maintaining academic work's unique character, emphasizing the need for clear guidelines. Ethical considerations and best practices are also highlighted to use AI while safeguarding academic integrity effectively. These insights extend to educators, policy makers, and researchers, offering a comprehensive view of AI's current role in academic writing and guiding ethical discussions and best practices. Ultimately, this research enhances teaching and learning practices in Indonesian higher education institutions through responsible AI integration.
