Milankovitch Theory “as an Initial Value Problem”
Authors: Verbitsky Mikhail , Volobuev Dmitry
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The dynamics of large ice sheets is fundamentally defined by the advection of mass and temperature. The timescale of these processes is critically dependent on the surface mass balance. Because of the ice-climate system's nonlinearity, its response to the orbital forcing in terms of engagement of negative and positive feedbacks is not symmetrical. This asymmetry may reduce the effective mass influx, and the resultant advection timescale may become longer, which is equivalent to a longer system’s memory of its initial conditions. In this case the Milankovitch theory becomes an initial value problem: Depending on initial conditions, for the same orbital forcing and for the same balance between terrestrial positive and negative feedbacks, the historical glacial rhythmicity could have been dominated either by the eccentricity period of ~100 kyr, or by the doubled obliquity period of ~80 kyr, or by a combination of both. In fact, empirical records demonstrate that the dominant period of the Late Pleistocene ice ages evolved from ~80-kyr to ~100-kyr rhythmicity. The quantitative similarity of this dominant-period trajectory and the one, made by the long-memory model, suggests that the records of the Late Pleistocene glacial rhythmicity could have been produced by a long-memory initial-value-dependent climate system, or, in other words, the slopes in empirical dominant-period trajectories are signatures of a long memory. The scaling law of the dominant-period trajectory provides a theoretical insight into the discovered phenomenon. It reveals that this trajectory is dependent on the memory duration that is sensitive to initial conditions. The sensitivity of the memory duration to initial values emerges as the result of system’s incomplete similarity in two similarity parameters colliding into one conglomerate similarity parameter that is the ratio of the advection timescale and the orbital period. The critical dependence of this similarity parameter on poorly defined accumulation-minus-ablation mass balance as well as its dependence on initial values makes ice ages to be hardly predictable and disambiguation of paleo-records to be extremely challenging. The quasi-eccentricity periods produced by the long-memory system in response to pure obliquity forcing make a remarkable example of this challenge because in the time series they may be naively attributed to the eccentricity modulated precession forcing.
Handwerk, Gewerbe und Protoindustrialisierung. Die Ökonomie zwischen Deregulierung, Wachstum und Verarmung der Unterschichten
Authors: Kaps Klemens
Published: November 2024

Craft, Trade, and Proto-industrialization. The Economy between Deregulation, Growth, and the Impoverishment of the Lower Classes. During the 18th century, the industrial production of commodities in Lower Austria changed decisively and transformed the region into a (proto)industrial core region within Central Europe. While guild artisans grew strongly, especially in the first half of the century, due to demographic growth and urbanization, a deregulation policy led to increased competitive pressure and brought about an institutional and social enclosure of guild artisans after 1750. In parallel, proto-industrialization, which began rather early in the late 17th century if considered in a European perspective but grew rather slowly, permanently changed Lower Austria’s commercial geography by forming a manufacturing zone in the Vienna Basin and a putting-out area in the region’s north. The immigration of wealthy entrepreneurs led to the integration of many of these com- panies into supra-regional to global commodity chains and trade relations. Keywords: putting-out, guilds, artisans, manufactories, economic policy
Nowelizacja Kodeksu postępowania karnego – nowy model postępowania
Authors: Cichowicz Bogusław
Published: November 2024

Od 1 lipca 2015 r. wejdzie w życie nowelizacja Kodeksu postępowania karnego z 1997 r. Wprowadza ona istotne zmiany w obecnym modelu postępowania karnego. Inicjatywa i ciężar dowodzenia zostały przerzucone na strony postępowania. W bardzo istotny sposób ograniczono prawo sądu do przeprowadzania dowodów „z urzędu”. Rolą sądu będzie czuwanie nad szybkim i sprawnym przebiegiem rozprawy. Autor, dokonując analizy modelu procesu, który będzie obowiązywał od 1 lipca br., wskazuje zarówno wady, jak i zalety nowelizacji i skutki jej wprowadzenia.

Organy ścigania wobec problemu kryptograficznego ukrycia dowodów cyfrowych
Authors: Karasek Piotr
Published: November 2024

W celu ochrony informacji przechowywanych w formie cyfrowej w systemach informatycznych opracowywane są specjalne narzędzia szyfrujące dane. Niestety, z narzędzi tych korzystają także sprawcy przestępstw w celu uczynienia dowodów przestępstw niedostępnymi dla organów ścigania. Poprawne zastosowanie współczesnej kryptografii czyni przeanalizowanie zabezpieczonych danych technicznie niemożliwym, a dotychczas proponowane rozwiązania prawne nie są w pełni skuteczne i często naruszają zakaz zmuszania do samooskarżenia. W obliczu tych problemów należy opracowywać taktyki i techniki zabezpieczania oraz analizy dowodów cyfrowych, które pozwolą, w pewnych okolicznościach, uzyskać dane w formie niezaszyfrowanej. Jest to możliwe szczególnie wtedy, gdy szyfrowanie danych zostanie przeprowadzone bez zachowania wszystkich środków ostrożności.

Authors: Kędzierski Maciej
Published: November 2024

Obowiązek denuncjacji przestępstwa finansowania terroryzmu, w świetle obowiązujących przepisów, może być realizowany na zasadach ogólnych wynikających z art. 304 par 1 k.p.k.; oraz art. 240 § 1 k.k., jak również z przepisów szczególnych zawartych w ustawie o przeciwdziałaniu praniu pieniędzy oraz finansowaniu terroryzmu. W przypadku szczególnego obowiązku denuncjacji można wskazać dwa tryby postępowania Pierwszy z nich dotyczy instytucji obowiązanych i jest on realizowany w taki sam sposób jak w przypadku przestępstwa prania pieniędzy. Oznacza pośrednictwo Generalnego Inspektora Informacji Finansowej w zakresie złożenia zawiadomienia o przestępstwie do organów Prokuratury (art. 18). Drugi zaś dotyczy jedynie przestępstwa finansowania terroryzmu (art. 20b) i może być realizowany bezpośrednio poprzez złożenie zawiadomienia o przestępstwie do organów Prokuratury z pominięciem GIIF. Przedmiotowe podstawy denucjacji przestępstwa z art. 165a k.k. w pełni uwzględniają możliwość reakcji na zagrożenie wynikające z procederu finansowania terroryzmu realizowanego w obszarze działań formalno – finansowych, jak i poza tym obszarem przy wykorzystaniu paralelnego obrotu finansowego.

Implementation of Non Pharmacological Therapy with Tomato Juice to Reduction High Blood Pressure in Elderly With Hypertension
Authors: Supriadi Dedi , Maryana Elsa
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Hypertension or often called high blood pressure is a disorder of the circulatory system that causes blood pressure to increase to above the normal limit of 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension is a degenerative disease like diabetes mellitus which can attack anyone at a young or old age. Apart from that, hypertension is also a non-communicable disease but is still a global problem. The prevalence of hypertension cases in Indonesia is 63,309,620 people, while the death rate in Indonesia due to hypertension is 427,218 deaths. Patients with hypertension may benefit from non-pharmacological and pharmaceutical management interventions. Because 100 grams of tomatoes contain 100 grams of calories, 1 gram of protein, 4.2 grams of carbohydrates, 5 mg of calcium, 360 mg of potassium, 0.5 mg of iron, 40 mg of vitamin C, 1500 IU of vitamin A, 06 mg of vitamin B, and 94 g of water, tomatoes have the potential to lower blood pressure.
Objective: The aim of this case study is to carry out nursing care for elderly people with hypertension problems and to see the effect of implementing tomato juice therapy to help lower blood pressure.
Method: The method used is descriptive using a case study approach with the subject used as case study material being an elderly patient who has hypertension problems with a knowledge deficit. Patient and family data collection techniques include assessment stages, interviews, observation, physical examination, and also documentation studies.
Results: Knowledge deficit nursing diagnosis related to lack of exposure to information with diagnosis number D.0111, given tomato juice intervention for 3 days by consuming tomato juice twice a day, after the intervention was carried out, the patient's nursing problem was resolved with a marked decrease in blood pressure from 160/ 100 mmHg drops to 150/90 mmHg.
Conclusion: Providing tomato juice intervention has proven to be effective in helping reduce high blood pressure in hypertension sufferers. The benefits of this non-pharmacological therapy will be maximized if done regularly.

Authors: Masluh Aziz Iman , Hamdani Dadi
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Anemia is a disease characterized by a lack of red blood cells in the blood or what can be called hemoglobin (HB) levels in the blood that are lower than normal values. The diagnosis of anemia can be made if the hemoglobin level is <12g/dl in women and <13g/dl in men.
Objective: This study was conducted to present the intervention of giving date palm juice to increase hemoglobin levels in anemia patients.
Method: The reseach design used by the author is a case study with a nursing approach where this  research was carried out by collecting data starting from assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation of activities and implementation of focused assessment. In this case study, a descriptive method was used with the main aim of problem exploration and an indepth analysis of anemia nursing was carried out to provide an overview of the case study.
Result: The nursing diagnosis of ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion is related to decreased HB. The intervention of giving date palm juice was given for 10 days with 3 tablespoons a day. After the intervention was carried out, the nursing problem of ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion for the client was resolved, indicated by the HB value which was originally below the normal range. with an HB value of 10.8 gr/dl. After being given intervention, it increased to the normal range with HB results of 11.8 gr/dl.
Conclusion: Giving date juice has proven to be useful in increasing Hemoglobin level.

Published: November 2024

Industry plays a vital role in developing Thailand and supporting and driving businesses. The increase in industry benefits the national income. However, it also affects the environment. Industrial companies must adapt to reduce problems by developing organizational infrastructure, such as logistics activities or operations, which are the major systems and causes of environmental issues. Therefore, this study aims to study guidelines for logistic system and supply chain management for the environment in industrial business and develop a structural equation model (SEM). The study used a mixed-method research design; the qualitative method, in-depth interviews with nine experts and a focus group with 11 experts were used. Concerning the quantitative method, a questionnaire survey was used with 500 green industries. Descriptive statistics, inference statistics, and multivariate analysis were also used to analyze the data. The study found four essential aspects: (1) Customer orientation, (2) Green network, (3) Logistic process, and (4) Organization management. Finally, the hypothesis testing results found that in medium- and large-sized industries, the importance of the variables of the logistic system and supply chain management for the environment had no statistically significant difference at 0.05. The results from the analysis of the structural equation model found that the study passed the evaluation and was relevant to empirical data with a chi-square probability level of 0.066, a relative chi-square of 1.133, a goodness of fit index of 0.954, and root mean square error of approximation equal to 0.016.

Authors: Zrelli Imen
Published: November 2024

This research aims to analyze the importance of Islamic Moderation (IM), which is the most prominent factor in the tourism attractiveness of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This has made it an integrated and sustainable tourism destination throughout the year. The study applies a quantitative survey method and selects a probability sample of 470 questionnaires to collect data in the Jeddah region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using a probability sampling method. After employing purposive sampling to select the participants, a structural equation model (SEM) is employed to analyze the data. The proposed theoretical framework is utilized to examine the mediating role of Islamic Destination Image (IDI), in the correlation between Islamic Moderation (IM) and Destination Attractiveness (DA). Upon revisiting previous research, the study discovers several studies that concentrate on the concepts, mechanisms, and characteristics of moderation, the significance of disseminating moderate thought, addressing extremist thought, and its impact on the economy and international and regional relations. An examination of the total effect yields the conclusion that Islamic Moderation (IM) has a positive impact on Destination Attractiveness (DA); this effect is both positive and strong, both directly and indirectly. The Islamic Moderation (IM) has a significant, positive, and significant impact on the Islamic Destination Image (IDI).
Does digital supply chain flexibility matter? Exploring its impact on smart quality systems and the mediating role of sustainable procurement: A study on five-star hotels in KSA
Authors: Alamro Ahmad , Alofan Fahad , Allahham Mahmoud , Sabra Samar , Daoud Mohammad khalaf
Published: November 2024

This paper aims to explore the influence of digital supply chain flexibility in five-star Hotels on smart quality systems together with its mediating effect through sustainable procurement practices within KSA. The methodology used is quantitative, based on data collected from a sample of five-star Hotels in KSA. Based on the above findings, this study argues about an integral part of DSCF (Digital Supply Chain Flexibility), SP and SQS for adopting theoretical framework. In this study, partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to validate the hypotheses. Digital supply chain flexibility has a significant positive relationship with sustainable procurement practices and smart quality systems in five-star Hotels. This means that actions such as fostering sustainable procurement practices could act on the ability of digital supply chain flexibility to boost smart quality systems, which play a role in enhancing operational efficiency and service quality. This paper contributes to the examination of various strategies for digital supply chains with sustainable procurement practices and creative quality systems within the hospitality sector; particularly focusing on KSA. Although the research findings are constrained to five-star Hotels from KSA they offer important directions for future research in different hospitality settings. These results provide practical information for hotels managers and policymakers on how digital supply chain flexibility, and sustainable procurement practices combined would contribute to the high-quality service provision as well as operational resilience of five-star Hotels. While these lessons have been drawn from the KSA market, they are also relevant to other hospitality markets with hospitality markets worldwide. This is the first study to examine Mediating Role of Sustainable Procurement and Digital Supply Chain Flexibility Impact on Smart Quality Systems Study in Five-Star Hospitals in KSA.

Published: November 2024

Objetivo: The aim of this study is to investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of a series of lymphomas involving the parotid glands. Methods: All cases diagnosed in one pathology service from January 2008 and December 2018 were retrospectively retrieved, and the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were assessed for diagnostic confirmation. Clinical data were obtained from patients’ medical files. Results: We obtained twelve cases of NHL in the parotid glands representing nine MALT lymphomas, two follicular lymphomas (FL), and one diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS). There was a predilection for the female sex (10F:2M), and in all cases it was possible to confirm the involvement of the parotid glands by macroscopic evaluation, imaging studies, or histologic assessment. Clinically, most of the lesions presented as asymptomatic swellings in the parotid region, although associated pain was reported in one case of FL, and three patients with MALT lymphoma had sicca symptoms. Conclusion: In conclusion, NHL affecting the parotid glands are usually of mature B cell lineage, usually representing low-grade subtypes, and frequently simulate other benign or malignant conditions.
„Traps” of Institutional Capacity of the Ukrainian State: Causes of Emergence and Ways to Overcome
Authors: Zelenko Galyna
Published: November 2024

In the article, based on the use of international indices (governance effectiveness, corruption perception, democracy, rule of law, and others), an assessment of the institutional capacity of the Ukrainian state is given, particularly during the Great War. The article also analyzes "capacity traps" as gaps in legislation that undermine the effectiveness of the state governance system, and as a result, devalue the institution of political accountability and deteriorate the state’s institutional capacity. The author also explains, based on sociological surveys regarding trust in state institutions, why the decline in trust towards government bodies (with the exception of the Armed Forces and the President) increases the risks of delegitimizing the government, as this translates into a reluctance of many citizens to fulfill their civic duties, particularly with respect to mobilization, tax payments, etc.
The author identifies the inefficiency of the system of checks and balances as the key problem of the institutional capacity of the Ukrainian state, which leads to duplication of powers between branches of government, ineffective functioning of the parliament and government, excessive concentration of power in the hands of the president, and the nullification of the role of the government as the center of executive power. The author thoroughly analyzes the existing in Ukraine "capacity traps" (what has been done for the first time in domestic political science), emphasizes their cumulative negative effect, outlines the negative consequences if they persist, and proposes effective instruments of non-electoral legitimacy of power, which are extremely necessary during wartime. Particular attention is paid to the need to reform Ukraine’s constitutional system to eliminate these institutional traps. Several ways to enhance institutional capacity are outlined, including the self-legitimization of power through information policy under conditions of forced restrictions on rights and freedoms; amending the constitution and legislation to eliminate the "capacity traps"; and the use of non-electoral instruments of legitimacy of power as a temporary measure that can strengthen the state's institutional capacity, but only during the war.
National and Civil Identity in Ukraine in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War: Constants and Changes
Authors: Polishchuk Yurii
Published: November 2024

The article analyzes the state of national and civic identity in Ukraine before and during the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is found that the triggers of its changes were the revolutions that took place in our country and, especially, the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is determined that it was the war that gave impetus to a radical strengthening of the position of national identity and, accordingly, to a sharp decline in the indicators of Soviet-Russian identity in Ukrainian society. It is proved that the war introduced new components to this phenomenon, which were dictated by the danger of losing the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state and limiting its sovereignty, when the perception of identity markers moved from the sensual to the practical plane. These included volunteering, the voluntary movement, national resistance to the occupiers, and other manifestations of Ukrainian civic position. This happened not only in the territories controlled by the Ukrainian government, but also in the territories temporarily occupied by the enemy. It is proved that during the war years there were significant changes in the qualitative indicators of citizens' attitudes towards the symbolic values associated with the statehood of Ukraine, which is an important sign of strengthening the national identity. The author analyzes a significant amount of sociological data that demonstrates changes in national and civic identity at different stages of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is emphasized that only in the eighth year of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the governmental institutions developed a strategy of state policy in the field of strengthening the Ukrainian national and civic identity as a component of ensuring the national security of Ukraine.
The Other Side of “Neutrality”. Russian War in Ukraine and Ambiguous Stance of the Global South Countries
Authors: Riabchuk Mykola
Published: November 2024

The unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine that precipitated in 2022 into all-out war, evoked a broad condemnation all over the world but the practical measures against the aggressor state varied remarkably at the national level. The major dividing line transpired between the wealthy liberal democratic states of the so called "first world" and less advanced (and mostly authoritarian) countries of the Global South. While the former group introduced a broad range of sanctions against Russian officials and legal entities and provided substantial military and economic support for Ukraine, the latter typically refrained from any serious moves that may impede their "business as usual" with Moscow. The current article weighs up the arguments that justify (or rebuke) the allegedly "neutral" position of the Global South in regard of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and explores how, if at all, this position can be changed toward a broader support of Ukraine and defense of the normative principles of the international law violated by Putin’s rogue state. The analysis proceeds in three steps. First, I examine available data of the UNGA vote on several resolutions regarding Russian war in Ukraine to determine the factors that most likely influenced the positive/negative vote of the Global South countries. To further develop my preliminary observations, I employ the content and critical discourse analyses to discover to what degree different factors are recognized by international experts and politicians, how they are interpreted, and which arguments are used to justify (or rebuke) the allegedly ‘neutral’ position of the Global South in regard of the war. In a way of conclusion, I mull on how, if at all, the generally indifferent/ambiguous position of the Global South nations can be changed toward a broader support of Ukraine and defense of the international law violated by a rogue state.

Objective: Vaccine hesitancy is a delay in vaccine acceptance despite the presence of vaccine service or rejection of specific vaccines. This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of parents with vaccine hesitancy and vaccine rejection toward vaccine after COVID-19 and the affecting factors. Materials and Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted with 147 parents, who were contacted through vaccine-related health records, had not gotten their children vaccinated or refused to complete the vaccination of their children during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 and 2020. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Questionnaire and the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale. Results: Of the parents, 71.4% stated that they had made the decision of not getting their children vaccinated after one vaccine or a few vaccines. In the study, attitudes toward vaccine had changed positively in 23.8% of the parents after COVID-19. It was determined that the parents’ being mother or father, educational status and number of children significantly affected the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale score (p

EVALUASI JALAN TAMBANG PADA TAMBANG BATUBARA DI PT. LAMINDO INTERMULTIKON
Authors: Akbar Ali , Widodo Sri , Nurwaskito Arif , Kadar Muhammad Ilham
Published: November 2024

Kondisi jalan angkut yang dirancang tidak sesuai dengan sistem penambangan dan spesifikasi alat akan menghambat laju kegiatan produksi, maka perlu dilakukan penelitian terhadap evaluasi jalan tambang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan kondisi jalan dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia, membangun dasar jalan yang mampu menahan beban pada poros roda sehingga tidak melampaui daya dukung tanah dasar, dan untuk mengetahui arah aliran drainase dijalan tambang yang sesuai harapan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penyebab berkurangnya produksi adalah lebar jalan angkut yang sempit tidak sesuai dengan Standar Nasional Indonesia.Olehnya itu dibutuhkan perkerasan jalan tambang terdiri dari tiga lapisan dimana lapisan paling bawah tanah dasar pada lapisan kedua merupakan lapisan pondasi berupa kerikil bercampur tanah liat dan untuk lapisan paling atas adalah lapisan perkerasan material untuk lapisan ini digunakan material sirtu atau batu bercampur pasir karena material ini dapat meloloskan air jika terjadi hujan, dan untuk drainase jalan tambang dibuat hampir sama dengan standar pembuatan drainase di jalan umum seperti jalan umum yaitu dibuat untuk mencegah air tanah naik ke permukaan jalan. Adapun faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi evaluasi jalan tambang yaitu kondisi lapangan, iklim, kemiringan jalan dan lebar jalan, jarak dan keadaan jalan angkut. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam merancang suatu jalan sebaiknya disesuaikan dengan spesifikasi alat yang akan beroperasi diatasnya dan sebaiknya jalan yang bersifat tetap atau permanen dibuat sebaik mungkin untuk menunjang kegiatan penambangan terutama kegiatan produksi.
Desespero de ser visto: comunicação e as pedagogias midiáticas contemporâneas
Authors: Takara Samilo
Published: November 2024

Este ensaio é uma reflexão a partir da mobilização de uma personagem conceitual para problematizar os efeitos da comunicação contemporânea. Embasado pela perspectiva de uma pedagogia midiática, analisa-se o efeito de desespero na produção e disseminação de imagens de si que constituem uma das lógicas da contemporaneidade e que educam os corpos e as subjetividades. Assim, a questão orientadora deste texto é: de que modo as imagens disseminadas nas redes sociais constituem uma pedagogia midiática que educa corpos e subjetividades acerca das sexualidades nas relações contemporâneas? Essa questão é mobilizada pelo objetivo geral de problematizar os efeitos pedagógicos das imagens produzidas e disseminadas pelas redes sociais.
The Eighth Wonder of the World in New Zealand: Seismic studies confirm the new Hochstetter paradigm
Authors: Bunn Alfred Rex
Published: November 2024

The most famous tourist attractions in the southern hemisphere, in the nineteenth century were the Pink and White Terraces—New Zealand’s lost Eighth Wonder of the World. They were assumed lost in an1886 eruption. The unpublished 2018 data from passive seismic stations across the Lake Rotomahana overflow in the Taupō Volcanic Zone are examined for evidence of acoustic interfaces that may be traced to Te Tarata, the White Terraces, the stations were coincidentally placed over the reported course of the Kaiwaka Channel buried in the 1886 Tarawera eruption. There was no seismic evidence of the Channel at the reported altitude under either the Smith-Keam or Hochstetter paradigms. This absence is strong empirical negative evidence that the Kaiwaka Channel did not flow beneath today’s Lake Rotomahana overflow, as has been assumed since 1886 under the Smith-Keam paradigm. Unlike the seismic and GPR Black Terrace Crater and Te Tuhi’s Stream (aka Black Terrace Stream) bed evidence obtained by the same 2018 survey—there is no evidence of a pre-1886 eruption paleochannel beneath today’s overflow saddle at the lake and at the Kaiwaka altitude under the 1886 Smith-Keam paradigm or the contemporary Hochstetter paradigm, the latter based upon Hochstetter’s unique terrestrial survey of the Rotomahana Basin. The study reports strong empirical evidence contradicting the assumed Kaiwaka location and with it, the assumed locations of old Lake Rotomahana and the Pink and White Terraces. The Smith-Keam paradigm is thereby confounded. The seismic data provide concomitant empirical evidence for the Rotomahana altimetry and topography reported by Bunn and Nolden, who locate the Kaiwaka Channel 440 m west of the seismic stations. The Pink and White Terraces can no longer be assumed destroyed. They may yet be explored and recovered.
