Authors: Chalik Mawardi  , T. Nazaruddin  , Elidar Sari  , Faisal  , Muhammad Yamani
Published: May 2024

North Aceh Regency has 33,781.64 hectares of oil palm plantations granted to 11 plantation companies with the amount of land raises many issues in the social-ecological field. Therefore, the government of the North Aceh Regency developed the concept of sustainability-oriented plantation development and was guided by Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture No. 11/Permentan (the Minister of Agriculture Regulation)/Ot.140/3/2015 concerning the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil Certification System (ISPO). This study aims to analyze what are the obstacles, and how the role and efforts of the North Aceh Regency Government in implementing the principles of sustainable plantations through ISPO. The research method used in this research is empirical juridical research. The study employs three approaches, namely the identifying research objects approach, the statutory approach, and the vertical and horizontal synchronization approach to uncover the reality. Based on the results of this study, the Government of North Aceh Regency has encouraged only 3 companies out of 11 companies in the palm oil sector to commit to ISPO certification. This is because only these three companies which are committed to implement ISPO certification. In the implementation, there were obstacles due to the lack of awareness of palm oil plantation companies in carrying out ISPO certification. The North Aceh Government’s efforts are to allocate a budget to overcome these obstacles, as well as form a team to accelerate the implementation of ISPO. It is recommended that there is a need for synergy between the North Aceh Regency Government and businessmen in the oil palm plantation sector in the realization of sustainable oil palm plantations with the concept of ISPO certification

Authors: Ghansham Anand
Published: May 2024

Marriage is an inner and outer bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife to form happy and eternal family-based God Almighty, therefore, in implementation of marriage must be approved by both parties who carry out the marriage, without any coercion from any party. However, in practice, some marriages are carried out not because the free will of the parties, but of pressure or influence from a third party, unlawfully, coercing, placing someone under his control or another person, or abusing his power to do or allow it to be done with him or with another person, which is called forced marriage. Against forced marriages, in Indonesia, there are civil and criminal legal remedies, specifically in the case of forced marriages. Meanwhile, various legal remedies exist for forced marriages in other countries, such as Australia and United Kingdom. Herefore, it is necessary to make legal comparison to obtain comprehensive perspective, both the regulation, as well the practice the regulation, so that the proper legal framework will be obtained terms of providing legal remedies in the case of forced marriages in Indonesia. Based on this background, the formulation of the problem in this article: 1) legal remedies against forced marriages in Indonesia and 2) legal remedies that can be taken in the case of forced marriages in other countries. The research method in this article is legal research with statute approach, conceptual approach, comparative approach, and case approach. The results of the article: 1) analyze legal remedies forced marriage in Indonesia, 2) describe comparative laws from Australia and UK regarding the handling of forced marriages so that the proper legal framework will be obtained in terms of providing legal remedies for forced marriages in Indonesia.

The purpose of this research is to analyze criminal acts committed by legal subjects who commit criminal acts of corruption in the procurement of goods and services of government agencies, namely by analyzing the subject in cases of corruption and criminal liability in terms of borrowing companies for the procurement of goods and / services for the government. This study uses a prescriptive normative legal research to find solutions to problems. The results of the research are: in criminal acts committed by the PT.MA corporation, which are asked to be criminally responsible for the Corporation or the Management, or the Corporation and the Management. If the corporate management of PT.CSL knows the intentions or actions committed by PT.MA employees, resulting in a criminal act of corruption, and PT.CSL benefits from these actions, then of course PT.CSL can be held criminally responsible, but if the management of PT.CSL do not know and the act of getting any benefit from acts of corruption committed by employees of PT. MA, then PT. CSL cannot be held criminally responsible.
An Appraisal of WTO’s Role in Promoting Substantive Fairness while Regulating Border Carbon Tax Adjustments
Authors: Degu Temesgen Abebe
Published: May 2024

Border carbon tax adjustment (BCAs, hereinafter) plays an important role in the protection of the environment, especially in the effort to mitigate climate change. However, the compatibility of BCAs with the WTO rules is controversial as no case has been decided so far. One can only make predictions using existing WTO decisions on trade and non- trade concerns. Even in such cases, WTO has not shown its full problem solving capacity by eschewing substantive issues. Using primary and secondary sources, this article explores WTO’s role in fairly distributing carbon costs among countries. The article particularly attempts to shed light on the role of the WTO to protect the environment (climate change) in light of the principle of sustainable development and non-discrimination without at the same time unduly restricting international trade. So to do, it employs a qualitative and doctrinal research method that involves textual analysis of both primary and secondary sources of data. In terms of scope, since the WTO is about state-to-state relationships and the practical complexity of industry level distribution of border carbon tax, the article focuses only on country level border carbon tax adjustment issues.Accordingly, section I provides a short introduction followed by section II which briefly provides the meaning and rationale of BCAs. While Section III deals with the linkages between trade and environment especially under the WTO system, section IV addresses the legality of BCAs. Section V explores the substantive role of WTO in securing substantive fairness in the regulation of border carbon tax adjustment. Finally, the last section, section VI, concludes the article

Published: May 2024

As of today, in Ukraine, there are no opportunities to conduct genetic research on a sufficient scale to identify the composition of the genomes of honey bees. Wing morphometrics of drones is a readily available alternative for obtaining information about the approximate composition of DNA. The goal of the work was to formulate the principles of the main stages of research and illustrate the procedure for obtaining morphometric data, methods of their processing, and possibilities for interpreting the obtained results. In the package of statistical data processing application programs Statistica, the classification of 2,147 drone wings obtained from 6 apiaries of Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Kyiv regions was carried out according to eight indices: Ci, Dbi, Disc.sh, Pci, Ri, Ci.3, Ci.2.1, and Ci.2.2. We propose a method for obtaining morphometric wing standards of bees based on studying a significant number of bee colonies from various apiaries in specific regions of Ukraine. Using a two-stage methodology, three datasets were formed and recommended for use as standards: one for the local population of Ukrainian bees and two for populations of the A.m.mellifera subspecies distributed in the Polissia region. We analyzed the reliability of results in determining the taxonomic affiliation of bees was analyzed. Using the example of a single bee colony, a detailed procedure is demonstrated to identify taxonomic affiliation through utilization of the obtained standards. It has been demonstrated that in case of reliable identification of standards belonging to specific subspecies, it is possible to predict the likely composition of chromosomal sets in the genomes of drones, queens, and worker bees partially corresponding to the wing phenotype.
Effect of weeds on pea (Pisum sativum) seed germination
Authors: Okrushko S. E. , Shkatyla Y. M. , Okrushko D. V.
Published: May 2024

Segetal vegetation should be controlled both during crop growing season and after harvesting. The reason is that undesirable vegetation accumulates a significant mass, one that will later become a threat to the following crop in crop rotation. Mixtures of substances of biogenic origin, called allopathic, are constantly changing subject to abiotic factors and environmental conditions. Therefore, their effects on organisms are characterized by significant variability. According to the biotesting results, we found that allopathically active substances of all experimental weed species had a negative effect on pea seed germination. In the control variant, all seeds germinated in 4 days, but in some experimental variants 2–3% of the seeds were in the phase of swelling. Water extracts from different species and parts of weeds had significant inhibitory effect on the germination of pea seeds and further growth. The water-soluble extracts from the underground organs of perennial weeds such as Elytrigia repens L. and Cirsium arvense L. were particularly strong, leading to 58.2% and 53.1% reduction in the length of the embryonic root. Water-soluble extracts from the leaves of these weeds had slightly lower effects on pea germination, and the lags in root growth were 33.5% and 31.4%, respectively. Extracts from weed stems also inhibited pea germination and had an intermediate effect between the effect of water-soluble extracts from the underground part and leaf blades. The effect of extracts from roots of annual weeds on the length of the germinal root ranged 36.6% in common stork’s-bill (Erodium cicutarium L.) to 13.9% in chickweed (Stellaria media L.). The allopathic effect of the substances from the leaves of chickweed (Stellaria media L.) and potato weed (Galinsoga parviflora Cav.) had the lowest effect on the growth of pea root. The lag of the indicator in the control was 7.2% and 12.9% for the variants.

Background

Liaison mental health services provide mental health care to patients in acute hospital settings. Evaluation of liaison services is challenging due to their heterogeneous organisation and delivery, high case throughput and varied patient case mix. We aimed to link routinely collected National Health Service data from secondary care settings, chosen for their service characteristics, to data from primary care to evaluate hospital-based liaison mental health services in England.

Methods

We planned to compare patients referred to hospital-based liaison services with comparable patients in the same hospital not referred to liaison services and comparable patients in hospitals without any liaison services. We designed and enacted a methodology to link data from: (1) Hospital Episode Statistics, a database controlled by the National Health Service Digital and (2) ResearchOne, a primary care database controlled by The Phoenix Partnership.

Results

Obtaining approvals for the steps prespecified in the methodological protocol took 907 days. Enactment following approvals took 385 days. Data supplied from Hospital Episode Statistics contained 181,063 patients from 6 hospitals (mean = 30,177, standard deviation = 28,875.86) who matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data supplied from ResearchOne contained 33,666 (18.6%) of these patients from the 6 hospitals (mean = 5611, standard deviation = 5206.59).

Discussion

Time required for approvals and enactment was attributable to slowness of data handling processes within each data holder and to resolution of technical and organisational queries between them. Variation in number of patients for which data was supplied between databases and between hospitals was attributable to coding inconsistencies and to the limited intersection of patient populations between databases and variation in recording practices between hospitals.

Conclusion

Although it is technically feasible to link primary and secondary care data, the current system is challenging, complicated, unnecessarily bureaucratic, time consuming and costly. This limits the number of studies that could be conducted with these rich data sources.

Enhancing Battery Capacity Estimation Accuracy through the Neural Network Algorithm
Authors: El Marghichi Mouncef , Hilali Abdelilah , Loulijat Azeddine
Published: May 2024

Accurate estimation of battery metrics, such as state of health (SOH), is crucial for effective battery management systems (BMS) due to capacity degradation over time. This paper proposes a methodology to enhance battery capacity estimation accuracy by addressing uncertainties related to state of charge (SOC) estimation and measurement. The methodology employs the Neural Network Algorithm (NNA), an optimization algorithm inspired by artificial neural networks (ANNs). The NNA generates an initial population of pattern solutions and iteratively updates them using a weight matrix, bias operator, and transfer function operator. By combining the advantages of ANNs and optimization techniques, the NNA aims to find an optimal solution considering interdependent variables and incorporating global and local feedbacks. Leveraging the capabilities of the NNA, our objective is to identify the candidate that minimizes a specified cost function, ensuring up-to-date cell capacity through a memory forgetting factor. The algorithm's precision was validated using NASA's Prognostic Data, demonstrating outstanding performance by surpassing two aggressive algorithms in terms of accuracy. In the most severe case scenario, the algorithm achieved a peak error of less than 0.4%. Furthermore, the algorithm consistently demonstrated predictive performance measures that were superior to those of the compared algorithms.

Industries are the most important resource of water pollution due as a result of toxic pollutants including surfactant or ionic liquids. It becomes urgent to propose low cost and environmentally friendly involving the use of local resources. Here,one of the main ionic liquids (BMImCl) were intercalated into three alkaline-earth, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Ba2+ exchanged montmorillonites. For all samples interlayer spacing after intercalation are similar about 13 Å as measured by X-ray diffraction. These findings are compared with previous results on similar montmorillonite exchanged with every type of alkali cations, i.e. Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+. The basal spacing of intercalated montmorillonite increased as the ionic potential (Z/R) is increased. The FTIR is another tool to confirm the differences between modified and unmodified montmorillonite samples. More specifically, the results showed that the formation of new bands of vibrations (1400–1500 cm-1) and (2850–2900 cm-1).Thermal measurements indicate that homoionic clay display two distinct regions. ‎(I) from room temperature to 160 0C corresponding to physical adsorption and removal of water of hydration, (II) dehydroxylation of the silicate structure in the temperature range of 160-700 0C.

The proposed concentrations model was compared to observed data from air diffusion studies for hexafluoride (SF6) conducted in the northern area of Copenhagen, Denmark, and earlier work for the Gaussian puff model. The predicted concentrations and earlier studies were found to be within a factor of two of each other, indicating that the predicted data is compatible with the observed concentrations data. Under unstable conditions, the statistical statistics show a reasonable agreement between the expected and observed concentrations at the Copenhagen Experimental. In contrast to the previous work's results, which had an NMSE of 0.3 and an FB of 0.21, we discovered that the data obtained using the statistical method had an NMSE of 0.2 and an FB of 0.25. The projected COR is 0.95, compared to 0.97 in a previous computation. The observed concentration data was 88% of the expected value, compared to 78% in previous research. The expected data are consistent with the observed concentration measurements. When compared to previous work, the Copenhagen experiment was conducted under unstable conditions, and statistical data show good agreement between predicted and observed concentrations.

This study reports on the phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity evaluation of essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of Cleome khorassanica using both microwave-assisted water distillation (MAHD) and classical hydro distillation (HD). Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to analyze the chemical composition of the essential oils. The main components identified in the MAHD-extracted oil were γ-Cadinene (34.29%) and δ-Cadinene (19.52%), while o-Isopropenyltoluene (46.7%) and Duodecyclic acid (10.96%) were the major components in the HD-extracted oil. The MAHD technique showed higher extraction efficiency in a shorter time than the conventional HD method. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils was evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. The results showed that the essential oil and methanolic extract of Cleome khorassanica exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus alternata and Fusarium solani. Gram-positive bacteria and fungi were more susceptible to the essential oil than Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, the samples extracted by MAHD demonstrated better antimicrobial activity compared to the HD-extracted oil.

Two new complexes of Zn(II) and Cd(II) with acetate and nicotinamide as mixed ligands were synthesized and characterized. The Zn(II) complex is mononuclear, [Zn(ac)2(NA)2] (1), while the Cd(II) is a dinuclear one, [Cd2(ac)4(NA)4].2H2O (2), where ac = acetate and NA = nicotinamide. The compounds were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and elemental analysis. The geometry of the metal ion is distorted tetrahedral for Zn(II) and distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometry for Cd(II). In the dinuclear complex, each metal ion is coordinated by three acetate groups, but there are two different types of coordination modes for the acetate ligands: bidentate chelating and bridging bidentate chelating.

About 80.9% had difficulty in keeping their concentration during online class. About 94% found difficulty to follow online practical classes. Majority of the students (82.4%) feel anxious whether they were capable of doing their job properly since this method needs technical knowledge. About 50% students had limited access to internet, there were technical issues like power cut (76.5%), and poor network of internet (69.1%) also reduced the effectiveness of online education. Online class also disrupt teacher-student relationship. Conclusion: The internet based classes served the purpose of continuation of academic activity in medical education during adverse condition of COVID . But due to uneven use of technology it had some obstacles also. Student’s ability to learning in medical education was also hampered in the absence of physical classes. This online method of education system needs much improvement to be effective in medical education.

Роль керівника у ефективному вирішенні конфліктів
Authors: Вербовський Ігор , Маркова Олена
Published: May 2024

Стаття присвячена розробленні моделі поведінки керівників у ефективному вирішенні конфліктів. Мета дослідження – розробити практичні рекомендації вирішення конфліктів керівниками у процесі управління організаціями на основі існуючих викликів. Для досягнення мети виконано такі завдання: показано негативний вплив конфліктів, визначені види конфліктів, модель реакції керівника, визначений перелік навиків керівника для вирішення проблем, побудована модель поведінки керівника в ефективному вирішенні конфліктів на різних їх етапах. Для досягнення мети використано загальнонаукові методи пізнання, а також методи групування, систематизації, графічні методи тощо. 
Результати дослідження показали, що  конфлікти в організації не тільки складно кількісно оцінити через їх різноманітні прояви, але й можуть призвести до значних фінансових втрат. В організаціях існує кілька видів конфліктів, зокрема колегіальні, що підривають корпоративну культуру, ієрархічні, що можуть призвести до звинувачень у фаворитизмі, та між співробітниками та клієнтами, що ставлять під загрозу репутацію компанії, кожен з яких вимагає уважного управління та швидкого вирішення для мінімізації негативних наслідків. Ефективне управління конфліктами в організаціях вимагає від керівників активного використання діалогу для відкритого обговорення та вирішення проблем, що зміцнює їх лідерські позиції, уникаючи при цьому згладжування конфліктів, яке може призвести до втрати авторитету та ефективності управління. Конфлікт у робочому середовищі розвивається через кілька ключових етапів, що вимагають уважного управління з боку менеджерів. Ці етапи конфлікту вимагають застосування гнучкої моделі управління, яка передбачає ідентифікацію проблеми, створення безпечного середовища для обговорення, активне вислуховування різних позицій, пошук компромісних рішень, а також узгодження та прийняття рішень. Завершальним кроком є моніторинг і оцінка результатів вирішення конфлікту, що дозволяє адаптувати підходи до управління конфліктами в майбутньому. Дослідження має важливе практичне значення, оскільки воно допомагає ідентифікувати, аналізувати та розробляти ефективні стратегії управління конфліктами в організаційному середовищі, сприяючи покращенню робочої атмосфери та збільшенню продуктивності.
Теоретично-методичні підходи до інноваційно-гнучкого управління підприємствами в сучасних умовах господарювання
Authors: Чобіток Вікторія , Бобринцев Павло
Published: May 2024

Авторами в статті визначено, що в сучасних мінливих умовах господарювання основним напрямом економічного зростання є активна інноваційно-гнучка система управління, яка впроваджуються як у виробничо-технологічні процеси, так і в процеси експлуатації та споживання, що значно впливає на збільшення доходів підприємств та підвищенню соціально-економічного рівня розвитку суспільства.
Актуальність розвитку інноваційно-гнучкого управління підприємствами полягає у стрімкому розвитку науково-технічного прогресу в останні роки і, як наслідок, у збільшенні кількості інновацій, застосування яких призвело до створення не лише сегментів, а й цілих інноваційних секторів економіки.
У статті виокремлено, що стратегія інноваційно-гнучкого управління підприємствами є дієвим інструментом забезпечення високих фінансових результатів у довгостроковій перспективі, рівень яких значно перевищує середньоринковий для традиційних галузей. Ці процеси значно трансформуються в умовах інтернаціоналізації та глобалізації економіки. Інновації стають головним чинником створення конкурентних переваг та повинні мати гнучкість до перманентних умов зовнішнього та внутрішнього середовища.
Аналіз ефективності діяльності підприємства є одним із найефективніших методів інноваційно-гнучкого управління та основним елементом обґрунтування ефективних управлінських рішень. Сучасні нестабільні умови господарювання та характеризуються інтенсивним розвитком ринкових відносин, підвищенням самостійності підприємств та їх економіко-правової відповідальності. У цих умовах оцінка економічної ефективності підприємства є актуальним завданням як для власників підприємства, так і для інших суб’єктів ринкових відносин.
Авторами в статті визначено, що досягнення необхідного рівня ефективності є найважливішим практичним завданням інноваційно-гнучкого управління підприємствами, що потребує об’єктивної необхідності розробки якісної системи оцінки ефективності діяльності підприємств. Проте основною складністю оцінки ефективності діяльності підприємства є відсутність повного теоретично-методичного інструментарію управління ефективністю суб’єкта господарювання, який би включав аналіз усіх складових показників.
Gánh nặng thuế, tham nhũng và dòng vốn đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài: Bằng chứng thực nghiệm tại các quốc gia ASEAN
Authors: Hồ Thị Lam , Nguyễn Đặng Thùy Linh
Published: May 2024

Nghiên cứu này nhằm đánh giá tác động của gánh nặng thuế và tham nhũng đến việc thu hút dòng vốn FDI của 6 quốc gia thuộc ASEAN giai đoạn 2002-2022 bằng ước lượng PMG và kiểm định nhân quả Granger. Kết quả cho thấy gánh nặng thuế làm giảm dòng vốn vào FDI ở các quốc gia ASEAN. Một phát hiện thú vị của chúng tôi là kiểm soát tham nhũng tác động phi tuyến hình chữ “U” đến dòng vốn FDI, có nghĩa, trong ngắn hạn kiểm soát tham nhũng làm giảm dòng vốn vào FDI dưới tác động kiểm soát các hoạt động bôi trơn theo giả thuyết “bôi trơn bánh xe” (Méon & Weill, 2010; Kato & Sato, 2015), song lại là nhân tố cải thiện việc thu hút FDI trong dài hạn do nâng cao tính minh bạch và hiệu quả trong sử dụng vốn. Ngoài ra, chúng tôi thấy được tác động nhân quả một chiều từ gánh nặng thuế đến thu hút FDI và tác động nhân quả hai chiều giữa chỉ số nhận thức tham nhũng với dòng vốn FDI trong dài hạn.

El mantenimiento y conservación de los equipos petroleros en el Ecuador es de gran importancia para su óptimo funcionamiento, el avance tecnológico e incremento de la complejidad de los sistemas técnicos hacen que se busque otras estrategias de mantenimiento que  permita predecir el comportamiento de las máquinas, por este motivo, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo determinar los índices de Fiabilidad del Separador Bifásico (Desalador de crudo)  V-320 del bloque 12 Petroecuador con base a la Distribución de Weibull. La metodología utilizada fue un análisis de los tiempos de paro por fallo del equipo a partir de su bitácora. Desde el año 2010 hasta el año 2023 existe 21 datos de mantenimientos correctivos, de los cuales se toma el tiempo de buen funcionamiento para el análisis, todos los datos fueron utilizados para este estudio, los que son linealizados en la hoja logarítmica de Weibull para determinar dos parámetros:  α (parámetro de vida característica) y β (parámetro de escala o de forma), parámetros de la distribución de Weibull. El cálculo de los parámetros α y β nos dio como resultado 5588 h y 1,29 respectivamente, que nos permiten predecir la probabilidad de buen funcionamiento (Fiabilidad) o mal funcionamiento (Infiabilidad) en un tiempo determinado, que puede variar de acuerdo a las necesidades de planificación del mantenimiento del equipo. Se concluye qué el análisis de Weibull es una herramienta de mantenimiento predictivo aplicado para estimar la probabilidad a partir de datos que han sido medidos.

Published: May 2024

La presente investigación, realiza un análisis de la cultura ambiental y el desarrollo local en el cantón Machala-Ecuador. Para cumplir con este objetivo se aplicó una investigación de tipo no experimental ya que se basa netamente desde la observación de un fenómeno que se encuentra en desarrollo para determinar sus variables sin que el investigador se involucre de manera directa o que influya sobre ellas. El instrumento utilizado, consistió en una encuesta que fue aplicada a una muestra de 384 personas de la población de Machala. Entre los resultados encontrados, se menciona que los indicadores de austeridad mostraron porcentajes promedios bajos en cuanto al manejo y clasificación de desechos sólidos que causan contaminación en el ambiente, mientras que, en el indicador de corresponsabilidad, se denota que los machaleños carecen de un sentimiento de responsabilidad con el medio ambiente y las problemáticas ambientales actuales. Se concluye que el cuidado en el manejo de los desperdicios producidos, clasificación de desechos y conocimientos previos para la clasificación son un eje central en la vida diaria del cantón Machala, por lo cual, se puede asumir que esta población tiene una cultura de cuidado por el medio ambiente, sin embargo, se percibe que las instituciones gubernamentales no han implementado un plan de acción para apoyar esta actitud hacia la preservación del medioambiente.
