Published: July 2024

Abstract: The development of industries such as textiles, dyes, plastics, medicines, cosmetics, and others is increasing along with a rise in production, leading to a high amount of liquid waste generated. Non-biodegradable, toxic, and carcinogenic liquid waste can cause environmental pollution to surrounding water. To address this challenge, biomass waste such as palm kernel shells can be used to treat liquid waste by compositing it with photocatalyst materials. Therefore, this research aimed to obtain ZnO/graphene-like composites to degrade liquid waste. ZnO/Graphene-like composites were synthesized using the solvothermal method, followed by calcination. The performance test was carried out by varying the types of methylene blue, methyl orange, and phenol waste with an initial concentration of 10 ppm, alongside the variations of ultraviolet (UV) and mercury lamps. Subsequently, characterization was carried out using SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, UV-Vis DRS, and UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results showed that the percent degradation of methylene blue under UV and mercury were 83.42% and 84.93 % respectively, while methyl orange in the same conditions was 94.83% and 97.17%, respectively. Furthermore, the percent degradation of phenol in UV light and mercury were 86.03% and 89.62%, respectively. This showed that the use of mercury lamps on methyl orange was more effective than UV lamps on methylene blue and phenol.Abstrak: Perkembangan industri seperti industri tekstil, pewarna, plastik, obat-obatan, kosmetik, dan lain-lain semakin meningkat dengan seiring bertambahnya jumlah produksi sehingga jumlah limbah yang dihasilkan juga meningkat salah satunya limbah cair. Limbah cair yang tidak dapat terurai secara biologis, beracun, dan karsinogenik ke perairan terdekat mengakibatkan pencemaran lingkungan. Disisi lain, limbah biomassa seperti cangkang sawit dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengolah limbah cair, salah satunya mengkompositkan dengan material fotokatalis. Penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh komposit ZnO/graphene-like untuk mendegradasi limbah cair. Komposit ZnO/Graphene-like disintesis dengan metode solvothermal dan dikalsinasi. Uji kinerja komposit ZnO/graphene-like dilakukan dengan menvariasikan jenis limbah methylene blue, methyl orange dan fenol dengan konsentrasi awal masin-masing 10 ppm serta dengan variasi lampu UV dan lampu merkuri. Komposit ZnO/Graphene-like dikarakterisasi menggunakan SEM, XRD, FTIR, BET, UV-Vis DRS dan UV-Vis Spektrofotometer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persen degradasi methylene blue di bawah sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing sebesar 83,42% dan 84,93%, sedangkan methyl orange dengan sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing sebesar 94,83% dan 97,17%. Selanjutnya, persen degradasi fenol dengan sinar UV dan merkuri masing-masing adalah 86,03% dan 89,62%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan lampu merkuri pada methyl orange lebih efektif dibandingkan lampu UV pada methylene blue dan fenol.

Abstract: Daily use of personal care products containing microbeads causes severe problems for the aquatic environment. Greywater is a pathway for microbeads to enter domestic waste and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from personal care products. Their tiny size and hydrophobic nature allow microbeads to escape from WWTPs and end up in surface water. Therefore, processing efforts are needed to remove microbeads, one of which is using the electrocoagulation method with aluminum (Al) electrodes. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the electrocoagulation process using Al electrodes arranged in a monopolar configuration in a batch reactor to see the effect of variations in distance between electrodes of 1, 2.5, and 3.5 cm, stirring speed of 150, 200, and 250 rpm; with the contact time 60, 120, and 180 minutes in removing microbeads from artificial wastewater. This research shows that the best efficiency value of 99.30% occurs in operating conditions with a distance between electrodes of 2.5 cm, a stirring speed of 150 rpm, and a contact time of 180 minutes. ANOVA results showed that distance between electrodes, stirring speed, and contact time significantly affected microbead removal efficiency (p<0.05). The results of this research can be a reference for alternative tertiary processing at WWTPs.Abstrak: Penggunaan produk perawatan pribadi sehari-hari yang mengandung microbeads menyebabkan masalah serius bagi lingkungan perairan. Greywater merupakan jalur masuknya microbeads ke dalam limbah domestik dan instalasi pengolahan air limbah (IPAL) dari produk perawatan pribadi. Ukurannya yang sangat kecil dan sifat hidrofobiknya memungkinkan microbeads keluar dari IPAL dan berakhir ke air permukaan. Oleh karena itu diperlukan upaya pengolahan untuk menyisihkan microbeads, salah satunya dengan menggunakan metode elektrokoagulasi dengan elektroda aluminium (Al). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja proses elektrokoagulasi menggunakan elektroda Al yang disusun dalam konfigurasi monopolar dalam reaktor batch untuk melihat pengaruh variasi jarak antar elektroda 1, 2,5, dan 3,5 cm, kecepatan pengadukan 150, 200, dan 250 rpm, dan waktu kontak 60, 120, dan 180 menit dalam menyisihkan microbeads dari air limbah artifisial. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa nilai efisiensi terbaik sebesar 99,30% terjadi pada kondisi operasi dengan jarak antar elektroda 2,5 cm, kecepatan pengadukan 150 rpm, dan waktu kontak 180 menit. Hasil ANOVA menunjukkan bahwa jarak antar elektroda, kecepatan pengadukan, dan waktu kontak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap efisiensi penyisihan microbead (p<0,05). Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi referensi alternatif pengolahan tersier di IPAL.
Arabic Diacritic-Aware Text-Audio Segmentation and Alignment Model (DASAM)
Authors: Sabour Adel , Hendawi Abdeltawab , Ali Mohamed
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This paper introduces the Diacritic-Aware Segmentation and Alignment Model for Arabic (DASAM). Diacritics are vital for pronunciation and meaning in the Arabic language but are often ignored by current speech recognition systems. DASAM is designed for word-level segmentation and alignment in unseen audio and associating them with diacritic-marked Arabic text. The DASAM approach uses linguistic analysis based on intonation rules. DASAM then applies Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to match the reference audio word with its position in the unseen sentence audio. The model outputs a list of words with their start and end times in the recording. Tested on the Qur’an dataset, DASAM outperforms Google Speech-to-Text (STT) in predicting word timings. It achieves higher accuracy in text-audio alignment, with values of 0.959 and 0.957 for word start and end times, respectively (compared to Google STT’s 0.870 and 0.849). Additionally, DASAM employs advanced signal processing techniques and demonstrates robustness across various audio variations. These results establish that DASAM constitutes a fundamental building block for speech-to-text conversion and linguistic research in Arabic, particularly for applications involving diacritics.
Comparing the Causes and Consequences of the Asian and Global Financial Crises on Southeast Asia
Authors: Cheong Kee-Cheok , Rasiah Rajah , Thillainathan R.
Published: July 2024

The arrival of the global financial crisis (GFC) just a decade after the Asian financial crisis (AFC) may have settled for now the argument about whether the world had learned enough so that economic crises are no longer possible. But it has not settled the argument of whether lessons were learned. This paper deals with this question by focusing on the experience of Southeast Asia, which has borne the full impact of both crises. For this region, these crises emerged through a combination of factors that were as different as they were similar between one crisis and another. The lessons that were learned or not learned in interpreting those factors with respect to each crisis determined each country’s response to that crisis, with politics being an important part of the calculus. Indicators just before the onset of the GFC and of its impact showed that some, but not all, lessons from the AFC were indeed learned. Whatever the lessons learned, however, Southeast Asian stock markets were decimated but which quickly rebounded. Nor would learning lessons guarantee insulation from future crises because the external environment facing Southeast Asia has changed and will continue to change.
Cheong Yoke Choy (1873–1958): A Grandson Looks Back
Authors: Lee Kam Hing , Tze-ken Wong Danny , Tan Miau Ing
Published: July 2024

Colleagues and friends remember Professor Cheong Kee Cheok as an eminently qualified and respected economist, who served first at the University of Malaya and later at the World Bank. Few were aware, however, that he came from a very wealthy and prominent family. His grandfather, Cheong Yoke Choy, was a pioneering and highly successful tin miner and banker in early twentieth-century Kuala Lumpur. However, Professor Cheong rarely talked about his grandfather. It was only a few years before Professor Cheong passed away that he decided to write about the senior Cheong. Part of the reason for eventually working on the biography was because Professor Cheong had, by then, become interested in Chinese family business and had researched and published on several Chinese business groups. He was able, therefore, to see his grandfather within the framework of early Chinese entrepreneurs and the values they held. Equally important, he had family records, as well as access to the memories of surviving family members.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF A CLASS OF LINEAR AND NONLINEAR PANTOGRAPH DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS VIA DIFFERENT ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIAL WAVELETS

Published: July 2024

We propose a wavelet approach on different orthogonal polynomials for solving linear and nonlinear pantograph equations with stretch kind. The pantograph differential equation is a unique proportional delay functional differential equation class. It has been used to deal with numerous physics, mathematics, and engineering applications, such as quantum mechanics, control systems, electrodynamics, and number theory. This scheme is based on constructing the operational matrix for integration via different wavelets with their collocation nodes. This study aims to examine the numerical dynamics of the pantograph equation under stretch kind through different orthogonal polynomial wavelets. Illustrative examples are presented to highlight the flexibility of this scheme, and comparisons are made between the mentioned scheme and other existing schemes using tables and graphs. These numerical results correctly predict the applicability and effectiveness of the mentioned scheme.

ABSTRACT López-Rebenaque O, Solís-Ferrer, Fierro-Marrero J, Asís-Fernández F. Acute effects of apnea bouts on hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Second Quarter; 51(2):173-184. Objective: This study aimed to systematically analyze the existing literature and conduct a meta-analysis on the acute effects of apnea on the hematological response by assessing changes in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and hematocrit (Hct) values. Methods: Searches in Pubmed, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were carried out for studies in which the main intervention was voluntary hypoventilation, and Hb and Hct values were measured. Risk of bias and quality assessments were performed. Results: Nine studies with data from 160 participants were included, involving both subjects experienced in breath-hold sports and physically active subjects unrelated to breath-holding activities. The GRADE scale showed a “high” confidence for Hb concentration, with a mean absolute effect of 0.57 g/dL over control interventions. “Moderate” confidence appeared for Hct, where the mean absolute effect was 2.45% higher over control interventions. Hb concentration increased to a greater extent in the apnea group compared to the control group (MD = 0.57 g/dL [95% CI 0.28, 0.86], Z = 3.81, p = 0.0001) as occurred with Hct (MD = 2.45% [95% CI 0.98, 3.93], Z = 3.26, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Apnea bouts lead to a significant increase in the concentration of Hb and Hct with a high and moderate quality of evidence, respectively. Further trials on apnea and its application to different settings are needed.

ABSTRACT Lamont D, Colvin A, Heili A, Ridley T, Slocombe R, Wendling J. Advanced high pressure hyperbaric techniques in tunnelling. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Second Quarter; 51(2):159-171. Work in compressed air and diving are both occupational activities that have been around since the mid- 19th century, and those undertaking their work under elevated pressure. Meeting the demand to go to “higher pressure for longer” in tunneling has lagged in diving, but both activities have found it necessary to adopt mixed gas breathing and saturation exposure techniques. This paper explains how work in hyperbaric conditions at high pressure is undertaken in tunneling and is illustrated by the hyperbaric activity likely to be involved in constructing a large-diameter road tunnel below a body of water such as an estuary. It also explores the practical differences between work in compressed air and diving.

ABSTRACT Altun BD, Sümen SG, Öçbe M, Dumlu A. Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on diabetes-related oral complications. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Second Quarter; 51(2):101-106. Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled blood sugar levels, which lead to end-organ damage. While the diagnosis and treatment of its complications have been extensively studied, the effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO2) on diabetes-related oral complications remains unexplored. Aim: This prospective clinical study aims to investigate the effect of HBO2 on diabetes-related oral complications. Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers and scheduled for HBO2 were included in this study. We recorded stimulated and unstimulated saliva pH, buffering capacity, flow rate, and subjective symptoms such as dry mouth, halitosis, taste loss, difficulty swallowing, and clinical examination findings before HBO2 and after the 21st session. Results: Upon comparing the findings, we observed a significant decrease in dry mouth and halitosis, periodontal disease severity, and healing of candida-related stomatitis and angular cheilitis. Despite not reaching statistical significance for other saliva parameters, the unstimulated salivary flow rate increased to normal limits (0.3-0.4 ml/min) in 6 out of 8 patients with a flow rate of less than 0.25 ml/min. Conclusion: Our study investigated the effect of HBO2 on diabetes-related oral complications for the first time, highlighting symptomatic relief for dry mouth and halitosis. Although our results are insufficient to report a definitive benefit, they underscore the need for further research on the oral health effects of HBO2.

ABSTRACT Yanagawa Y, Ohsaka H, Yatsu S, Suwa, S. Acute aortic dissection during scuba diving. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 Second Quarter; 51(2):185-187. A 60-year-old man with hypertension and dyslipidemia complained of chest pain upon ascending from a maximum depth of 27 meters while diving. After reaching the shore, his chest pain persisted, and he called an ambulance. When a physician checked him on the doctor’s helicopter, his electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal, and there were no bubbles in his inferior vena cava or heart on a portable ultrasound examination. The physician still suspected that he had acute coronary syndrome instead of decompression illness; therefore, he was transported to our hospital. After arrival at the hospital, standard cardiac echography showed a flap in the ascending aorta. Immediate enhanced computed tomography revealed Stanford type A aortic dissection. The patient obtained a survival outcome after emergency surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of aortic dissection potentially associated with scuba diving. It highlights the importance of considering aortic dissection in patients with sudden-onset chest pain during physical activity. In addition, this serves as a reminder that symptoms during scuba diving are not always related to decompression. This report also suggests the usefulness of on-site ultrasound for the differential diagnosis of decompression sickness from endogenous diseases that induce chest pain. Further clinical studies of this management approach are warranted.
WHEN HAIR TALKS: HOW HAIRSTYLES INFLUENCE THE PERSONALITY OF THE MAIN CHARACTER IN THE K-DRAMA ADAPTATION OF THE WEBTOON PERFECT MARRIAGE REVENGE
Authors: Yusuf Julia Absara , Saputri Hanna Dorina Riska , Dewi Sellyana Tungga
Published: July 2024

Hair plays a crucial role in a woman's identity, serving both aesthetic and expressive purposes, and often reflecting personality traits (Cunningham et al., 1997). This study explores the changes of stereotypes associated with hair types and colors in the Korean drama adaptation entitled Perfect Marriage Revenge from a Webtoon series. Using Hutcheon's (2013) adaptation theory and Cunningham et al.'s (1997) insights on hair and personality, The research examines how haircolors in the drama adaptation differs from the original Webtoon series and how it affects the character’ss personality. Cunningham et al. (1997) suggested that hair colors influences characteristics: blonde hair is seen as feminine, attractive, and emotional, while brunette hair is linked to intelligence and structure. This qualitative study analyzes visual and textual data from both the Webtoon and K-Drama, employing a comparative method to identify differences in hairstyles and character portrayals. Findings reveal that Han Yi Joo's character undergoes a transformation influenced by changes in hair color in both the original and adapted works. The changes also happen in the personality of the same character, which means that the adaptation version takes in to account both hair color and its stereotype.
The Role of Facebook in Changes in Interpersonal Communication Patterns and the Concept of Romantic Relationships
Authors: Đumić Tihana , Čabraja Toni , Veljković Božidar
Published: July 2024

Digital technology in mass media provides a new way of transmitting information, but often does not deliver the veracity and emotional depth of information as direct human interaction does. Apart from the convergence offered by the media, information discernment through one of the digital or mass communication channels remains inferior to direct human communication. The question arises as to how social internet platforms affect relationships between women and men and the value and emotional structure of these relationships. Despite numerous studies that have dealt with the influence of social networks on the quality of communication and life of children and young people, it is evident that the question of the influence of social networks on gender relations is often neglected or considered less important. The purpose of this research was to examine the public’s perception of the alienating effects of Facebook in the area of primordial and primary social interaction between women and men as a previous communication to all other forms and types of communication. The results showed that the majority of respondents do not support the use of social networks for sexual acquaintances or emotional relationships, considering virtual communication as an insufficient substitute for real emotional contacts, which include non-verbal signs of attraction, and do not perceive them as a suitable means for engaging in emotional or erotic experiences. Although most do not consider them a threat to stable emotional relationships, they are a threat to the spiritual component and dignity of the partner and are perceived as an foundation for sexual adventures, trips and fraud.

Authors: Kim Na-yeong , Kim Kwang-Byung ,   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to identify research trends in integrated case management over the past decade by specifically examining papers published from 2014 to 2024. First, academic papers on 'integrated case management' were searched using the Research Information Sharing Service (RISS). Duplicated papers or those not directly related to integrated case management were excluded, and journal articles and theses were selected. A total of 52 papers were selected in this process, and their general characteristics, such as publication year, type of publication, and academic categories, along with the detailed topics, research methodologies, and main results, were presented. The results revealed the following trends: First, papers on integrated case management have been consistently published, with a noticeable increase since the 2020s. Master's theses, doctoral dissertations, and journal articles have been evenly published, primarily in the field of social welfare studies. Second, the detailed topics covered the practice and job factors of integrated case managers, supervision, ordinances or laws, and development plans. Quantitative research was more frequently used. Quantitative studies mainly investigated the roles and competencies of integrated case managers, while qualitative studies often focused on the practical experiences of case managers. Based on these findings, several recommendations for future research in the field of integrated case management were proposed. It is necessary to build nationwide surveys or statistical data in addition to direct surveys. Expanding research to include the experiences of clients, not just case managers, is essential. Additionally, support for the work environment and burnout of integrated case managers is needed.

Authors: Bak Kyeong-Won , Yu Seoung-Ju ,   Korean Academy of Integrated Care Management
Published: July 2024

Korea has experienced a rapid increase in demand for care due to its aging population at an unprecedented pace. However, it is not able to adequately respond to the rapidly increasing demand and needs of the elderly due to its facilities, hospital-oriented care systems, and segmental service delivery systems.
In response to these challenges, specific programs have been developed to address the increasing number of individuals in need of care. These programs aim to develop a curriculum in universities and establish a network to cultivate professional manpower with the necessary knowledge and skills. Additionally, they seek to establish win-win cooperation between local governments and universities to revitalize the care economy. To achieve this, the latest information on the necessity and problems of integrated care in the community has been extracted using various research methods such as scope-grasping literature review, systematic literature review, and government policy data review, commonly used in the field of social science. This information has been used to develop a regular curriculum model for universities, specialized multi-job-linked education, a practical model of small-scale degree courses, and a strategy for establishing the role and governance of universities and local governments. These initiatives aim to supplement the blind spots in existing care services and provide care services that are suitable for the unique characteristics of the Gwangju area.

The spatial and functional tourism planning
Authors: Stankovic Stevan
Published: July 2024

The spatial and functional tourism planning should be understood as a
planned, scientifically based, continuous, targeted, economically and
socially justified activity that is clearly adapted to the local
environment, region or country to which it relates. It is about the optimal
targeting of actions and the implementation of tasks in an area that has one
or more attributes of tourist attraction and as such represents a tourism
value presented to the domestic and foreign tourism market through seasonal
or year-round tourism, i.e. some of its forms, if it is properly planned.
The planning must achieve adequate economic and social effects resulting
from the stay of tourists and their consumption. The space, accommodation
and catering facilities, infrastructure and superstructure, equipment and
their arrangement are selected depending on the natural and anthropogenic
tourist values and the types of tourism they enable. It is very important to
emphasize the local and regional characteristics of the area, tradition and
modern condition.
Estimation and mapping of soil erosion using the RUSLE model and GIS tools: A case study of the wad El Hai watershed in the western Aurès, north-eastern Algeria
Authors: Benamor Samir , Messaid Belkacem , Berghout Ali
Published: July 2024

Soil erosion is the main cause of siltation in dams, on the one hand, and it
is one of the main causes of degradation of the agro-pedological heritage,
on the other hand. In this context, this work aims to quantify the eroded
soils and their spatial distribution in the watershed of Wad El-Hai (Aur?s,
Algeria), reaching the Fontaines des Gazelles dam located at the outlet of
this basin. The work focuses on mapping and analyzing various thematic maps
representing the key erosion factors, linking the Revised Universal Soil
Loss Equation (RUSLE), with the goal of producing a synthesis map providing
a quantitative spatial representation of the extent of the phenomenon in the
watershed. From this map, we can confirm that the erosion phenomenon affects
the entire watershed of Wad El Hai. The most severe erosion, affecting
11.60% of the expansive territory at rates exceeding 33.6 tons per year per
hectare, is predominantly concentrated in mountainous regions marked by
exceptionally steep slopes. Conversely, the majority, accounting for 64.23%
of the entire expanse, is situated in the plains, where erosion rates are
comparatively lower at 6.7 tons per hectare per year. The assessment of
potential water erosion yields disconcerting outcomes, projecting an
average annual loss rate of 15.38 tons per hectare throughout the entire catchment area. The results presented in this study will serve as a vital
resource and a decision-making tool, supporting the management and
preservation of natural resources by policymakers and stakeholders.
Consequences of precipitation variability and socio-economic activity on surface water in the Vranso water basin (Burkina Faso)
Authors: Yaméogo Joseph , Sawadogo Abdoulaye
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to analyse rainfall variability and its impact on
surface water in the Vranso catchment. To achieve this, the methodology
consisted of collecting primary and secondary data. The primary data was
acquired using a survey technique, while the secondary data was based on
meteorological data (rainfall) and a literature review. Data processing was
based on the standardised rainfall index (SPI), the Martonne aridity index
and the standardised flow index. (SFI), and the frequency index (FI). The
study shows that rainfall variability is significant over the period
1985-2014. This variability is reflected in alternating dry and wet
periods. The study also shows that rainfall variability has an impact on
flows in the Vranso catchment. Agricultural activities, gold panning and
livestock farming contribute to the drying up of water bodies in the
catchment. It would be useful for the regional authorities to tackle this
problem by formulating conservation policies for these areas.
The impact of soft law on the regulation of sustainable investment in the Arctic Region
Authors: Churilov Aleksei
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the issue of regulating sustainable and responsible
investment in the Arctic region. The execution of large-scale investment
initiatives in this region will require substantial capital, including
foreign ones, as well as a large-scale impact on the ecology of the Arctic
region. The work emphasizes the importance of making sustainable
investments, which in the long term will not harm either the environment or
indigenous and small-numbered peoples living in the project areas. The
purpose of the work is to study how soft law instruments affect the
regulation of investment in the Arctic using narratological methods.
Currently, there is a clear lack of international legal regulation of
sustainable investment, and the legislation of different states on relevant
issues follows different approaches. When investment relations are not
properly regulated, it can be difficult to implement sustainable and
responsible investment, which will also have negative economic consequences.
In this regard, the author concludes that currently the norms of the
so-called ?soft law? play the most important role in regulating investment
activities. An analysis of so-called ESG investing is being carried out.
The work presents an overview of some of the most significant sources of
soft law and classifies soft law norms depending on their source of origin.
Explanatory examples demonstrate how investors and enterprises implementing
investment projects apply soft law in their activities. The author concludes
that the concept of soft law is a reflection of the way in which
entrepreneurs' narratives can influence the behavior patterns that will be
adopted by the relevant association of entrepreneurs. The article gives
examples to examine the impact of narratives on the creating and
implementation of soft law provisions, and further analyzes these methods of
influence.
The influence of social geographic changes on the availability of parking spaces: A case study of Novi Sad
Authors: Lukic Tamara , Djercan Bojan , Blesic Ivana , Bubalo-Zivkovic Milka , Pivac Tatjana , Bjelajac Dajana
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the paper was to illustrate a case in which the
socio-geographical changes of the settlement are reflected on its streets,
particularly concerning parking availability. The research aimed to address
the increasing scarcity of parking spaces in planned areas of the city. To
achieve this, semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with
parking space users. The analysis of the responses revealed certain
patterns reflecting socio-geographical processes in the population of Novi
Sad. The results showed that the lack of parking spaces is attributable to
factors such as the growing number of cars, which is a consequence of
gentrification, population aging, delayed departure from parental homes,
etc. The challenges in finding parking spots adversaly affect the city?s
sustainability. The work is significant for two main reasons: firstly, it
illustrates phenomena accompanying cities? population and economic
development, and secondly, it highlights the necessity, during spatial
planning in urban areas, to consider contemporary demographic processes
while also anticipating demographic trends. Proposed solutions include
enhancing the role of public transportation and promoting alternative modes
of transport. However, these solutions come with drawbacks such as time
constraints, weather conditions, pricing, availability, and other factors.
Significant results of Serbian military topographical and cartographical activities
Authors: Bakrac Sasa , Vakanjac Boris , Radojcic Stevan , Djordjevic Dejan , Tadic Vladan
Published: July 2024

Serbian military topographic and cartographic activity has existed for almost
150 years. During that time, a relatively small country like Serbia faced
difficult temptations but successfully produced topographic maps. During
this period, Serbia was affected by numerous wars and other trials. First,
there was a war for liberation with the Turkish Empire, then came the Balkan
Wars, the First and Second World Wars and the transformation of Yugoslavia
from a kingdom into a socialist state, as well as the final disintegration
of Yugoslavia. During all that time, the Serbian army managed to create maps
that were a necessary tool used by many civilian institutions. Serbian
military topography developed solutions related to geodetic surveying, and
cartography provided and developed many maps of different scales with
appropriate cartographic keys. Although it often faced difficult situations,
the Military Geographical Institute - MGI managed to recover, train new
personnel, and continue with topographic surveying, map making, aerial
photogrammetry, application of satellite images and implementation of
digital technology. In this paper, we provide primary data on the
development of military cartographic and topographic activity through a
presentation of results and activities from establishing the Military
Geographical Institute to the present day. The topographic activity, in
addition to topography, includes trigonometric and levelling surveying.

The current context - the yellow vests crisis - seems to imply a need to rethink the relationship between elected officials and citizens, given their expectations, the loss of trust in the elites, and the decrease in state grants. The protest movement emphasizes the citizens' desire to be true actors rather than mere extras in politics. They are inserting themselves into the public debate. Is it the moment to innovate in practices and reinvent politics? Is it solely the role of the mayor or the role of all stakeholders (the idea of everyone as entrepreneurs)? To address this movement, the President of the Republic has launched a national debate with mayors at the forefront. Indeed, who better than the mayor embodies proximity with the citizens? However, this approach of the entrepreneurial mayor has its limitations. Indeed, the dynamics, the desire to innovate, and the willingness to take risks must be shared by the municipal team, by public or private actors, and also by citizens. In this article, the findings of a study conducted among political leaders and elected officials invite us to propose a model of the mayor's entrepreneurial capacity based on the work of Huron (2001) on the typology of mayors and Lopez (2018) on the capacity of leaders to undertake.

A neoplasia de boca é uma doença maligna, com etiologia multifatorial, considerando fatores de risco extrínsecos, como as substâncias químicas, agentes físicos, biológicos e fatores de risco intrínsecos. Um dos problemas mais desafiadores em relação a neoplasia de boca é o diagnóstico tardio associado à demora no acesso ao tratamento. O trabalho tem como objetivo conhecer o perfil de mortalidade por neoplasia de boca e a distribuição espacial dos óbitos segundo coeficiente de mortalidade, por município de residência de Alagoas, no período de 2013 a 2022. Estudo ecológico, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, com ênfase nas variáveis: sexo, faixa etária, raça, escolaridade, estado civil, categoria CID-10, local de ocorrência e município de residência. No período de 2013 a 2022 foram registrados 1.053 óbitos, o sexo masculino foi predominante, 70% dos casos, a faixa etária acima dos 60 anos com 65%, pardos, com 63,5%, nenhuma escolaridade, com 27,6%, casados com 31,5%, neoplasia de maior incidência foi o de orofaringe, 21,7%, ocorrência do óbito no hospital 63,1%. Se observou a ocorrência de óbitos em 97 municípios com maior número absoluto em Maceió e Arapiraca, e maior coeficiente de mortalidade em Coqueiro Seco e Belém. Os resultados demonstraram que o alto índice de mortalidade revela o diagnóstico tardio da doença, a necessidade de desenvolver ações educativas para a realização do exame clínico da boca, bem como a instrumentalização dos profissionais de saúde para reduzir a cronicidade e as graves consequências da doença, aumentando a sobrevida e a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

This article studies a mathematical model of the fractional order of tuberculosis (TB). It describes the dynamics of the spread of tuberculosis among smokers. The purpose of this research is to protect vulnerable people against the virus. According to the survey results, the required model has an equilibrium point: the disease-free equilibrium point Ef. We also analyze the local stability of this equilibrium point of the model, using the basic reproduction number R0 calculated according to the new generation method. In our model, we include three controls that represent: restricting individual contact, treatment, and sensitization. This article aims at reducing the number of infected smokers and non-smokers using an optimal control strategy and a fractional derivation. The maximum principle of Pontryagin is used to describe optimal controls with Caputo-derived fractional over time and the optimal system is resolved iteratively. The numerical simulation is presented according to the method presented by Matlab.

Sentiment analysis is an essential technique for classifying and extracting emotions from several data sets. While many basic methods distinguish between negative and positive emotions, advanced approaches may consider additional categories, such as neutral emotions. This becomes very important and difficult when we need to deal with less parsed languages and dialects, such as Moroccan Darija. Our study highlights the nuances of conducting sentiment analysis implementing the MAC dataset, which includes comments in Moroccan Darija. Our main target is to do comparative study and research of the most used machine learning models for Arabic sentiment analysis, especially SVM, NB and KNN. These models have proven their effectiveness in classifying and analyzing emotions in widely studied languages such as English and Arabic. Through this comparative analysis, we aim to realize their effectiveness and adaptability in the Moroccan Darija dialect context.

All countries in the world, both developed and developing countries, are facing pollution problems in order to be able to balance accelerating economic growth with environmental degradation problems due to their economic activities. The acceleration of economic development in Indonesia to achieve high industrial growth is directly proportional to the cause of the high increase in carbon dioxide emissions. The purpose of this study is to see the environmental impact of the regulations set, as well as to provide recommendations for the formulation of environmentally friendly economic development policies in the future. This study applies time series data regression with ECM as the method used. Indonesia was chosen as the object of the theory Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) from 1990 to 2020. The results of the study show that the squared industry variable in the short term is not significant, but in the long term, it is significant and has an effect of -0.0002, which means that the EKC hypothesis is not proven in the short and long-term, only a decrease in environmental degradation occurs. (CO2 emissions) because industry increases in the long term or industry has a significant negative effect on carbon dioxide emissions in the long term.

Happiness is the ultimate goal of a prosperous life that a person wants to achieve. There are many stigmas and opinions about measuring happiness, such as happiness seen from health, work, education, family harmony, and more. With so many ways to see and measure happiness, a happiness index was created to measure the welfare and happiness of people in a region or country.
This research aims to test and analyze the influence of tourism on happiness by using the number of hotels and accommodations, technology and information, health, consumption expenditure, education, and crime. The data used is secondary data, with a population of 10 provinces on the island of Sumatra. The analysis technique used is Panel Data Regression Analysis. The research results show that tourism, technology, health, and consumption expenditure positively affect the happiness index. In contrast, education and crime have a negative effect on the happiness index in 10 provinces on the island of Sumatra

Poverty is a severe issue for local governments, particularly in Bali. This study aims to investigate factors influencing the regional poverty rate in Bali Province between 2016 and 2020. In the primary data obtained from BPS Bali Province, spatial regression data approaches and analyses were used. The findings show that housing, access to technology, and availability of natural resources affect poverty rates. The poverty line in Bali in the period 2016–2020 fluctuated significantly. Urban and rural poverty levels are affected by the availability of rice. At the same time, non-food commodities are higher in rural areas regarding housing, religious ceremonies, and customs. The contribution of the food poverty line to the urban poverty line was 68.76% less than the contribution of the food poverty line to the rural poverty line, which was 69.74%. From 2016 to 2020, the districts of Buleleng, Karangasem, Klungkung, and Tabanan each had the highest poverty depth index. The poverty depth index in urban areas reached 0.653, and in rural areas, 0.753. The severity index for urban poverty is 0.154, which is lower than the severity index for rural poverty, which is 0.156.
