Kebun Coklat Kabupaten Merauke merupakan wilayah yang memiliki material tanah yang biasa digunakan sebagai  material lokal untuk pemadatan tanah dasar pada konstruksi jalan. Kuper Distrik Semangga memiliki konstruksi jalan yang mulai retak-retak, pecah, bahkan berlubang. Jenis tanah di Kuper yaitu tanah lempung yang memiliki ciri kembang susut yang tinggi, sehingga dalam merencanakan konstruksi jalan perlu meningkatkan daya dukung tanahnya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan semen dan variasi kadar tanah dari Kebun Coklat  terhadap nilai swelling pada tanah lempung daerah Kuper Distrik Semangga. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode experimental pengujian yang dilakukan yaitu sifat fisis tanah dan experimental swelling yang direndam selama 3 hari dan dibaca setiap 24 jam sekali. Tanah asli ditambahkan dengan kadar semen 4% dan kadar tanah dari Kebun Coklat sebanyak 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% dan 50%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian disimpulkan bahwa, penambahan kadar variasi yang paling efektif untuk menurunkan nilai pengembangan adalah semen 4% dan tanah dari Kebun Coklat 3% dapat mengurangi pengembangan nilai swelling dari 3,21% menjadi 0,46%, sedangkan untuk penambahan kadar semen 4% dan variasi tanah dari Kebun Coklat 6%, 9% dan 12%, benda uji mulai mengalami peningkatan nilai pengembagan menjadi 2,13%, 3,28% dan 4,36%. Dengan perbandingan yang seimbang antara semen dan tanah dari Kebun Coklat dapat meningkatakan kualitas tanah lanau kelempungan yang memiliki daya dukung yang rendah serta pengembangan swelling yang besar.

Drainase jalan Aru, sering ditemukan banjir setiap terjadinya hujan dengan intensitas yang cukup tinggi. Kondisi ini terjadi akibat adanya penumpukkan sampah, sedimen, dan vegetasi liar pada drainase sehingga drainase menjadi tersumbat dan tidak dapat menampung debit air hujan yang masuk. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kondisi drainase tersebut dapat mengalirkan debit banjir yang terjadi, mengetahui dampak pendangkalan drainase dan cara menanggulangi pendangkalan pada drainase tersebut. Pengolahan data pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode rasional dengan data curah hujan 10 tahun (2012-2021) untuk mendapatkan nilai debit banjir rencana dan melakukan analisis pada saluran eksisting serta untuk mengetahui dampak pendangkalan yang terjadi pada drainase. Hasil penelitian kapasitas drainase (Qkap) sebesar 0,012 m3/det dan debit banjir (Qbanjir) sebesar 4,91 m3/det (Qkap<Qbanjir), maka drainase tidak mampu mengalirkan debit banjir. Dampak dari pendangkalan pada drainase mengakibatkan terjadinya luapan air (banjir) yang menggenangi pemukiman masyarakat, sekolah, pertokoan dan jalan disekitar drainase tersebut sehingga mengganggu aktivitas disekitaran tersebut. Qsedimentasi pada saluran drainase jalan aru sebesar 0,00709 liter/hari. Untuk menanggulangi penanggulangan pendangkalan dilakukan perencanaan ulang dimana hasil dari perencanaan ulang tersebut adalah luas penampang (A)= 2,45 m2, tinggi air (h)= 1,07 m, tinggi saluran (H)= 1,37 m, lebar atas saluran B= 3,29 m, penampang basah (P)= 4,22 m, jari-jari hidrolik (R)= 0,58 m dan kemiringan dasar saluran (I)= 0,002.

Published: August 2024

Language functions as a structured system of conventional vocal symbols utilized for communication. Human beings, being inherently social, reside within communities that are defined by language, culture, and traditions. In contemporary times, many individuals employ multiple languages for communicating with those around them. Sociolinguistics delves into the intersection of language and society, investigating the intricate relationship between the two. An intriguing sociolinguistic phenomenon observed within societies is bilingualism or multilingualism, which signifies proficiency in more than one language by an individual. The objective of this study is to elucidate the patterns, categories, and underlying reasons for code-mixing found in Boy William's YouTube channel. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the researchers employed techniques like active listening and note-taking to gather the necessary data. The results reveal that, within a 4.50-minute duration of Boy William's YouTube content, numerous instances of code-mixing manifest in the conversations taking place. It is evident through a comprehensive data analysis, which all point to the code-mixing presence.
Project SMILE: improving pediatric residents’ use of tools to minimize procedural pain
Authors: Cheng Adrienne , Romanos-Sirakis Eleny
Published: August 2024

Background. In medical settings, children are subject to many painful procedures.  Pain management during procedures not only reduces psychological and physical trauma but also impacts children’s future responses to pain and procedures. This project aimed to create sustained change in the residents’ culture surrounding procedural pain management in pediatric patients. We hypothesized that an initiative involving education, reminders, and multidisciplinary integration would increase the amount of pain reduction methods used during painful procedures.   
Methods. The initiative included all pediatric residents at a single healthcare institution in the northeastern United States, where the pediatric population is only a fraction of the patient load. Project S.M.I.L.E. utilized a novel acronym that incorporates different pain-minimizing techniques to encourage the use of these techniques through educational initiatives, multidisciplinary participation, and increased access to resources. Surveys were conducted pre- and post-intervention to determine the level of change in procedural pain levels.
Results. A total of 24 pediatric residents participated in the survey. The baseline evaluation included 20 procedures, including intravenous line placements, venipunctures/heel sticks, and arterial punctures. Two years after the onset of this initiative, surveyed pediatric residents showed a sustained increase in their use of these methods.
Conclusion. This project demonstrates that the low-cost and simple methods employed in this initiative are efficacious and can be adapted for use in other programs.
É A MEMÓRIA O CRITÉRIO DECISIVO PARA A PERSISTÊNCIA DA IDENTIDADE? O PROBLEMA DA IDENTIDADE PESSOAL AO LONGO DO TEMPO E O CRITÉRIO PSICOLÓGICO DA MEMÓRIA
Authors: Cavalcante Matheus Vinícius
Published: August 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo, delinear o cerne do debate em Filosofia da Mente a respeito do problema da identidade pessoal ao longo do tempo. Para isso, tratarei da identidade pessoal e seus problemas, discutindo a importância do debate, definindo os principais conceitos para uma melhor investigação e dando um breve panorama histórico do problema na modernidade, bem como os principais eixos de resposta, dando ênfase à tradição lockeana que se fundamenta na memória. Em seguida analisarei o critério psicológico de Derek Parfit, que também se baseia na memória, mas questiona sua suficiência. Argumento ao final que a complexidade das teorias contemporâneas sobre a memória episódica exige uma revisão crítica das considerações de Parfit e de outros defensores do critério psicológico da memória, o que, consequentemente, pode levar a necessidade de novos critérios para preservar a identidade pessoal ao longo do tempo.
"GANHO PRIVADO, PERDA PÚBLICA" DE ALON HAREL
Authors: Canal Rodrigo Freitas Costa , Saito Miki Taketomi
Published: August 2024

A ideia de que “Colocar os serviços públicos nas mãos da iniciativa privada é ruim para a economia. E [...] dissolve nossa união como uma comunidade política” é a linha geral do argumento contra a privatização de serviços públicos do presente artigo do professor Alon Harel, explorado e apresentado mais detalhadamente no capítulo 3 The Case Against Privatisation de seu livro Why Law Matters (2014). A privatização generalizada compromete, deteriora a responsabilidade cívica compartilhada e a própria existência da vontade política coletiva, pois isso decorre do fato de que o envolvimento de cidadãos em tomadas de decisões políticas é o que possibilita a responsabilidade coletiva, compartilhada. A defesa de Harel de que instituições políticas e legais são valiosas por si mesmas, e não apenas porque são um meio para o benefício humano, faz parte de um projeto recente de fundamentação filosófica do valor intrínseco destas instituições. Alguns bens sociais são intrinsecamente públicos e a manutenção desse valor intrínseco como bem público tem como base sua provisão por instituições políticas e legais de caráter público.
A QUESTÃO DA ANALITICIDADE EM KANT E FREGE
Authors: Santos Arthur Henrique Soares dos
Published: August 2024

Na Crítica da razão pura (1787), Kant expõe uma teoria da analiticidade que pode ser resumida nos seguintes pontos principais: a contenção dos termos, a identidade entre eles e o princípio de contradição. Com base nestes critérios, Kant pensa que a aritmética não usa juízos analíticos. Em oposição, Frege defende, nos Fundamentos da aritmética (1884), que a teoria kantiana de analiticidade é equivocada e que juízos analíticos, incluindo os aritméticos, são lógicos. Pretende-se, portanto, com o uso da literatura secundária em Hanna (2004), discutir as doutrinas de Kant e Frege acerca disso, sugerindo que a teoria de Kant não consegue se sustentar e que a teoria de Frege, embora problemática, possui um ponto promissor a partir da semântica de mundos possíveis de Plantinga (1974) e Kripke (2012).

Assembling a Bluetooth Speaker Prototype as a Lecture Teaching Material
Authors: Meldra Delia
Published: August 2024

The development of student creativity depends on the lecture method determined. The more often students create work, the more their ability to create something increases. This is also stated in the curriculum issued by the government, namely the project-based prototype curriculum. Based on this, research on assembling Bluetooth speaker prototypes was created as lecture teaching material so that students are able to develop speaker prototypes that are more varied in terms of basic materials (can be from gonggong seafood waste and so on), shapes, development ideas, thinking about market targets, and so on. . A speaker or also known as a loudspeaker is a device that converts electrical signals into audio frequencies (sound) by vibrating membrane-shaped components to vibrate the air so that sound waves are heard that reach the eardrum and can be heard as sound. This speaker uses Bluetooth as a medium to connect sound processing devices to the speaker. This Bluetooth speaker still uses AC power, which also aims to increase development ideas if it uses DC in the future. The resulting speaker can work well using Bluetooth with several shortcomings regarding sound dampening which in the future could be a process for improvement.

Published: August 2024

The oil and gas industry has been an engine room for economic growth in Malaysia due to its contributions to nation-building in the past 40 years. The main objective of this research is to investigate the root causes of Sapura Energy Bhd's central problems and recommend some best solutions. For the financial year that ended January 31, 2022, this giant oil and gas services company officially registered a tremendous loss of RM 8.9 billion, and the company is expected to suffer a more considerable loss for the current financial year. If they fail to resolve the financial crisis soonest, the company will likely go bankrupt soon. From the literature review, the Trade-off Theory seems fit to elaborate on the financial conditions of Sapura Energy Bhd.  Sapura Energy operates in 20 countries and manages a workforce of 13,000 globally. The study extracts documentary evidence from financial reports and deploys descriptive statistics analysis to understand Sapura Energy’s financial profiles and competitive edges. This study also deploys descriptive statistics and trend analysis to understand Sapura Energy’s financial profiles and competitive edges. Sapura is one of the local pioneers that provides engineering services in the entire value chain for oil and gas exploration, development, and production. Sapura Energy was a national pride once as it was geared towards becoming a sustainable global energy and engineering solutions company. However, Sapura Energy’s underperformance for the past 10 years has become debatable. Sapura is experiencing a burdensome debt from large overdue payments to vendors and some operational issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2021. Sapura should consider downsizing its business operations and recalibrating its capital structure to mitigate most business and financial risks.

Published: August 2024

The majority of MSMEs have difficulty making financial reports, especially BUMDes. Therefore, this research aims to determine the suitability of BUMDes Barokah's financial records with SAK EMKM and the recording system that has been implemented from the start of establishing the business until now. This study used descriptive qualitative method. The types of data used are primary data and secondary data. The primary data is the results of interviews with the BUMDes treasurer and the secondary data consists of recordings, financial reports and proof of transactions. This data was obtained by means of interviews and documentation. The research results show that the financial reports produced by BUMDes Barokah are not in accordance with SAK EMKM and the financial records are still manual. Financial records only consist of cash income and expenditure, and present profit and loss reports, capital changes reports and balance sheets. The cause of this discrepancy is the BUMDes treasurer's lack of understanding regarding accounting and computerization. It is hoped that the reconstruction of financial reports based on excel for accounting can provide a correct picture of financial reports in accordance with SAK EMKM based on technology to the treasurer of BUMDes Barokah.

INTRODUÇÃO: A vacinação é um método em que se estimula o sistema imune a produzir anticorpos e tem como consequência a diminuição da incidência de diversas doenças e até mesmo sua erradicação. Apesar do reconhecimento mundial das imunizações, o movimento anti-vacina tem cativado adeptos, sobretudo devido a falsas notícias divulgadas amplamente. Assim, é primordial conhecer as publicações que reafirmam a segurança desses imunobiológicos. OBJETIVO: Realizar um levantamento cienciométrico da literatura mundial acerca do movimento anti-vacina. METODOLOGIA: Realizado levantamento das publicações indexadas no banco de dados Elsevier’s Scopus de 10 de agosto a 19 de outubro de 2020, utilizando os descritores vaccine OR immunization AND refusal OR hesitancy. Os documentos foram classificados por ano de publicação, afiliação institucional, financiamento, país de origem, tipo de pesquisa e área de estudo. Os dados foram, então, tabulados e organizados em gráficos do programa Microsoft Excel 2010. RESULTADOS: De 1968 a 2019, foram encontrados 2345 documentos que abordavam a hesitação vacinal. O número de publicações se manteve estável até a metade da década de 90 e houve crescimento exponencial de 2014 a 2019. Aproximadamente metade das publicações é pertencente à área médica (49,2%). A América do Norte foi responsável por 50,2% das pesquisas, seguida pela Europa. O Brasil aparece em 18º lugar, com um total de 25 publicações, a primeira delas em 2005. Quanto ao fomento, 34% das pesquisas obtiveram financiamento. Destacou-se a Universidade de São Paulo, que possui pesquisadores filiados em sete publicações. CONCLUSÃO: O crescimento do número de pesquisas sobre o tema acompanhou a expansão da hesitação vacinal. É notável a heterogeneidade na distribuição geográfica dos documentos publicados. Os Estados Unidos se destacam provavelmente pela força do movimento anti-vacina e o incentivo à pesquisa nesse país. A predominância de publicações em revistas médicas ressalta a responsabilidade do médico em orientar adequadamente seus pacientes. Assim, entende-se que a produção científica deve receber investimentos para que os fatores sejam elucidados.
RISCO DE CARDIOPATIAS CONGÊNITAS EM FETOS E CRIANÇAS CONCEBIDAS ATRAVÉS DE TECNOLOGIAS DE REPRODUÇÃO ASSISTIDA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA
Authors: Lobo Aída Maria Ferrário de Carvalho Rocha , Rocha Júlia Britto , Kassar Samir Buainain
Published: August 2024

Introdução: As cardiopatias congênitas (CC) são caracterizadas por anormalidades estruturais e funcionais do sistema cardiovascular, podendo ou não estar relacionada com aspectos ambientais. Como fatores de risco para CC, tem-se causas hereditárias e não hereditárias, entre as quais o papel das tecnologias de reprodução assistida (TRA) perdura controverso. Objetivo: Avaliar o risco de CC em fetos, lactentes e crianças concebidas por Fertilização In Vitro (FIV) e Injeção Intracitoplasmática de Espermatozóides (ICSI), em comparação com aquelas concebidas espontaneamente. Materiais e Métodos: O presente estudo consiste em uma revisão sistemática de estudos observacionais, através de buscas eletrônicas nas seguintes bases de dados: MedLine via Pubmed, LILACS via BVS, Cochrane library, Scopus via CAPES. Resultados: 10 estudos foram identificados para revisão, incluindo 07 estudos de coorte e 03 estudos de caso-controle. Desses, 07 afirmaram que fetos, lactentes e crianças únicas concebidas por FIV/ICSI têm risco ligeiramente maior de cardiopatia congênita do que aqueles concebidos naturalmente (0,7%-2,1%). Cinco afirmavam que a TRA estava associada a um risco maior de Tetralogia de Fallot (TF). Conclusão: O presente estudo demonstrou que fetos, lactentes e crianças únicas concebidas por FIV/ICSI têm ligeiramente mais risco de CC do que aquelas concebidas naturalmente. Nesse sentido, observou-se uma frequência aumentada de CC após TRA com um espectro heterogêneo de anomalias cardíacas, principalmente defeitos maiores, sendo os mais frequentes a TF, os Defeitos Cardíacos Septais (DCS) e a Persistência do Canal Arterial (PCA). Este maior risco de CC não variou de acordo com o método de TRA.

Authors: Solangi A.W. , Khuhru S.A. , Rais M.U.N.
Published: August 2024

The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis (Walker) is an oligophagous pest that mainly feeds on rice and currently is largely controlled through chemicals, leading to several ecological problems and often low control efficiency due to the larval feeding habits. Therefore, the alternative and eco-friendly control strategies is needed to manage this noxious insect pests, applications of trapping devices specifically sex pheromone traps are one of the most substitute control methods to monitoring and control moths by killing or mating disruption on large scale. The aim of the current study was to optimize the appropriate pheromone dose, trap density and trap placement height for mating disruption of C. suppressalis. During first year (2021), a mixture of two pheromones (Z11-16: Ald and Z9-16: Ald) in equal ratio (50:50) were applied at different doses (50, 100, 200, 300 and 500µg/20µL), with various trap heights (3, 4.5 and 6 feet) and compared with insecticide (fipronil G 0.2% 15 kg/ha). Results revealed that, 200 and 300µg/20µL caught significantly maximum (119.63±15.86) moths of C. suppressalis and resulted in lowest (4.96%) damage (white ear and dead hearts) as compared to other doses and treatments. The second year´s trial was designed to optimize the trap density in which 8, 12, 18 and 25 traps/ha were tested with a median dosage 250µg/20µl, based on first year’s results. It exhibited that 18 traps/ha captured maximum number (121.95±19.77) moths and reduced the damage symptoms significantly followed by other 25, 12 and 8 traps/ha with significant difference (P ≤0.001). Moreover, results of best treatment (appropriate sex pheromone dosage, trap placement height and trap density/ha) revealed highest (3:52) cost benefit ratio with minimum (7.90 $) expenditure also highest yield 7400 kg/ha was recorded as compared to other treatments. Therefore, installation of 18 traps/ha at 4.5 feet height with a dose of 250µg/20µL can manage C. suppressalis in rice-growing areas and consequently reduce management cost as compared to the insecticides. Thus, it is recommended as an important component for the eco-friendly management of rice stem borer to ensure food security.
