DINAMIKA KETATANEGARAAN PEMINDAHAN IBU KOTA NEGARA INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM
Authors: Amal Bakhrul , Sulistyawan Aditya Yuli
Published: December 2022

Pemindahan sebuah Ibu Kota Negara bukanlah hal baru dalam persoalan ketatanegaraan baik di Indonesia maupun dunia. Beberapa negara di dunia, selain Indonesia, pernah melakukan hal tersebut. Proses memindahkan Ibu Kota Negara dilakukan dengan dua cara. Pertama adalah perpindahan Ibu Kota Negara tentu harus didahului dengan analisis. Kedua adalah proses pembentukan aturan hukum sebagai dasar hukum dari perpindahan Ibu Kota Negara tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode yuridis normatif. Metode itu ditinjau dengan pendekatan historis. Perpindahan Ibu Kota Negara dari Jakarta ke Kalimantan ternyata telah melalui analisa yang panjang. Proses pembentukan UU IKN juga telah melalui proses yang ditentukan oleh UU Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-undangan. Akan tetapi proses tersebut dinilai masih banyak kekurangan salah satunya adalah tidak mampu menyerap partisipasi publik.

BEM-Based Magnetic Field Reconstruction by Ensemble Kálmán Filtering
Authors: Liebsch Melvin , Russenschuck Stephan , Kurz Stefan
Published: December 2022

Magnetic fields generated by normal or superconducting electromagnets are used to guide and focus particle beams in storage rings, synchrotron light sources, mass spectrometers, and beamlines for radiotherapy. The accurate determination of the magnetic field by measurement is critical for the prediction of the particle beam trajectory and hence the design of the accelerator complex. In this context, state-of-the-art numerical field computation makes use of boundary-element methods (BEM) to express the magnetic field. This enables the accurate computation of higher-order partial derivatives and local expansions of magnetic potentials used in efficient numerical codes for particle tracking. In this paper, we present an approach to infer the boundary data of an indirect BEM formulation from magnetic field measurements by ensemble Kálmán filtering. In this way, measurement uncertainties can be propagated to the boundary data, magnetic field and potentials, and to the beam related quantities derived from particle tracking. We provide results obtained from real measurement data of a curved dipole magnet using a Hall probe mapper system.

Extraction of mineralized indicator minerals using ensemble learning model optimized by SSA based on hyperspectral image
Authors: Lin Nan , Liu Hanlin , Li Genjun , Wu Menghong , Li Delin , Jiang Ranzhe , Yang Xuesong
Published: December 2022

Mineralized indicator minerals are an important geological and mineral exploration indicator. Rapid extraction of mineralized indicator minerals from hyperspectral remote sensing images using ensemble learning model has important geological significance for mineral resources exploration. In this study, two mineralized indicator minerals, limonite and chlorite, exposed at the surface of Qinghai Gouli area were used as the research objects. Sparrow search algorithm (SSA) was combined with random forest (RF) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) ensemble learning models, respectively, to construct hyperspectral mineralized indicative mineral information extraction models in the study area. Youden index (YD) and ore deposit coincidence (ODC) were applied to evaluate the performance of different models in the mineral information extraction. The results indicate that the optimization of SSA parameter algorithm is obvious, and the accuracy of both the integrated learning models after parameter search has been improved substantially, among which the SSA-GBDT model has the best performance, and the YD and the ODC can reach 0.661 and 0.727, respectively. Compared with traditional machine learning model, integrated learning model has higher reliability and stronger generalization performance in hyperspectral mineral information extraction and application, with YD greater than 0.6. In addition, the distribution of mineralized indicative minerals extracted by the ensemble learning model after parameter optimization is basically consistent with the distribution pattern of the fracture tectonic spreading characteristics and known deposits (points) in the area, which is in line with the geological characteristics of mineralization in the study area. Therefore, the classification and extraction model of minerals based on hyperspectral remote sensing technology, combined with the SSA optimization algorithm and ensemble learning model, is an efficient mineral exploration method.
The most efficient indifferentiable hashing to elliptic curves ofj-invariant 1728
Authors: Koshelev Dmitrii
Published: December 2022

This article makes an important contribution to solving the long-standing problem of whether all elliptic curves can be equipped with a hash function (indifferentiable from a random oracle) whose running time amounts to one exponentiation in the basic finite fieldFq{{\mathbb{F}}}_{q}. More precisely, we construct a new indifferentiable hash function to any ordinary ellipticFq{{\mathbb{F}}}_{q}-curveEa{E}_{a}ofj-invariant 1728 with the cost of extracting one quartic root inFq{{\mathbb{F}}}_{q}. As is known, the latter operation is equivalent to one exponentiation in finite fields with which we deal in practice. In comparison, the previous fastest random oracles toEa{E}_{a}require to perform two exponentiations inFq{{\mathbb{F}}}_{q}. Since it is highly unlikely that there is a hash function to an elliptic curve without any exponentiations at all (even if it is supersingular), the new result seems to be unimprovable.

Evolutionary design of two-dimensional material Fabry–Perot structures for enhanced second harmonic generation
Authors: Biswas Rabindra , Prosad Asish , Krishna Lal A. S. , Menon Sruti , Raghunathan Varun
Published: December 2022

The integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials with resonant photonic structures is seen as a promising direction for enhancing its nonlinear optical response. The design of such heterogeneous resonant structures has often relied on multi-parameter sweeps to determine the optimized dimensions of resonant optical structure that results in good resonance characteristics, often in the absence of the 2D material. Such an approach is computationally intensive and may not necessarily result in efficient generation or collection of nonlinear signals from the designed structure. Here, we report hybrid-genetic optimization (HGA) based design and experimental demonstration of second harmonic generation (SHG) enhancement from Fabry–Perot structures of single and double multilayer gallium selenide (GaSe) flakes with bottom silicon dioxide, and index matched polymethyl methacrylate spacer/encapsulation layers. HGA technique utilized here speeds up the multilayer cavity design by 8.8 and 89-times for the single and double GaSe structures when compared to the full parameter-sweep, with measured SHG enhancement of 128- and 400-times, respectively, when compared to a reference sample composed of GaSe layer of optimized thickness on 300 nm silicon dioxide layer. SHG conversion efficiencies obtained from the HGA structures are 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than previous reports on 2D material integrated resonant metasurfaces or Bragg cavities.
Ferroptosis: a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Yang Lan , Nao Jianfei
Published: December 2022

The most prevalent dementia-causing neurodegenerative condition is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aberrant buildup of amyloid β and tau hyperphosphorylation are the two most well-known theories about the mechanisms underlying AD development. However, a significant number of pharmacological clinical studies conducted around the world based on the two aforementioned theories have not shown promising outcomes, and AD is still not effectively treated. Ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic programmed cell death defined by the buildup of deadly amounts of iron-dependent lipid peroxides, has received more attention in recent years. A wealth of data is emerging to support the role of iron in the pathophysiology of AD. Cell line and animal studies applying ferroptosis modulators to the treatment of AD have shown encouraging results. Based on these studies, we describe in this review the underlying mechanisms of ferroptosis; the role that ferroptosis plays in AD pathology; and summarise some of the research advances in the treatment of AD with ferroptosis modulators. We hope to contribute to the clinical management of AD.
Kelvin–Helmholtz stability of rotating magnetoplasma with electron inertia
Authors: Pathan Tanveer A. , Sutar Devilal , Pensia Ram K. , Dashora Himani
Published: December 2022

In this theoretical exploration, the stabilizing or destabilizing impacts of the rotation, electron inertia, and electrical resistivity on the Kelvin–Helmholtz stability in two-superimposed incompressible magnetized plasma fluids incorporating finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) correction and suspended dust particulates are studied. The linearized perturbation equations for the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability problems are determined based on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. The general dispersion equation is derived by using appropriate boundary conditions. By the numerical estimation, the finite ion Larmor radius does not have any significant role in the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability of the magnetoplasma medium. The graphical estimates reveal the destabilization impact of the resistivity and electron inertia on the Kelvin–Helmholtz hydrodynamic plasma fluid system. In this paper, graphical representations have also analyzed the effect of rotation on the Kelvin–Helmholtz stability growth rate with the variation of electron inertia and resistivity. This current analysis provides pertinent information about the significant involvement of this considered system in space and astrophysical structures.
“Gangsta Chi”
Authors: Villegas Mark R
Published: December 2022

This article sheds light on the pervasive yet largely uncommented upon presence of geek culture and Orientalism in hip hop, revealing the constructed, performed, and mediated nature of racialized masculinity in popular culture. By observing a range of media artifacts but concentrating on RZA’s memoir The Tao of the Wu (2009), this article contends that geeky hip hop Orientalism performs a strategy of style codeswitching, wherein the combination of intellectualism and the fantasized East expand the repertoire of Black masculinity and fantastical worldmaking. Heavy in Orientalist themes that mirror the hyper intellectualism associated with geekiness, The Tao of the Wu evinces the strong bond between geek culture and early hip hop music. Specifically, this article focuses on RZA’s mental cultivation over physicality and his enchantment by children’s media culture (comics, anime, and kung fu cinema).

Merging hip hop and geek culture, which conventionally appear to exist on opposite poles, results in new interracial paradigms of geek and hip hop representations. Hip hop geekiness largely detours from an otherwise presumed whiteness in routing itself along a storied legacy of African American Orientalism. In this way, geeky hip hop Orientalism contributes to more queered and quotidian versions of Afro Asian aesthetics, politics, and interracial fantasy worlds. A deep consideration of the bonds among hip hop, geekiness, and Orientalism helps to reimagine the embodiments and performances of racialized masculinity, which, though complex and limited, can gesture towards the freedoms promised in a more expansive spectrum of gender and sexual affinities and identities.

Published: December 2022

Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process operation that generates polymer products. The selection of optimal injection molding process settings is essential due to the distinct influences of process parameters on polymeric material behavior and quality, particularly during the injection process. Therefore, it is vital to determine the optimized process parameters to enhance the mechanical properties of the products and ensure the most favorable performance. This paper examined the integration of Taguchi’s method with grey relational analysis (GRA) to determine the effects of varied injection molding parameters on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and hardness values. The experiments were designed using Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array after weighing in control factors, such as melting temperature, injection pressure, injection speed, and cooling time. The GRA revealed that the multiple responses correlation was successfully established. Finally, an analysis of variance was performed to validate the test outputs. The results revealed that the most inﬂuential factor was injection pressure, sequentially followed by melting temperature, cooling time, and injection speed.

Authors: Ahmed Asma , Badar Rehana , Khalique Noman
Published: December 2022

Lipases are enzymes commonly used in industry. This study describes the production of lipolytic enzyme via a newly isolated strain of Aspergillus oryzae under a submerged fermentation process. Five strains of A. oryzae were isolated from oil-contaminated soil and water as well as dead decaying organic matter. Qualitative screening revealed that A. oryzae RBM4 strain was a lipase producer, and the process was optimized for enhanced production. Incubation time, incubation temperature, initial pH, use of agricultural by-products, nitrogen sources, and substrates were tested. The results revealed that initial pH 5.5(12.7 U/mL/min) in 72 h (19.39 U/mL/min) at 30 °C (27.40 U/mL/min) sorghum (35.66 U/mL/min), NaNO3 (17% more than blank), yeast extract (47.95 U/mL/min), and Shan ghee (58.12 U/mL/min) were the best conditions. Extracellular lipase production was increased up to 78% by applying all the above conditions.

Respecto a la primera dimensión, se observan acciones de acogida al iniciar la práctica profesional, apoyo constante de quienes desarrollan tutorías y aprendizajes adquiridos en la observación de sus acciones. La segunda dimensión da cuenta del apoyo de personas tutoras, trabajo colaborativo, apoyo del profesorado del centro escolar y la construcción de relaciones de confianza. Se concluyó que es necesario generar acciones, tales como: inducción docente que estimule la confianza entre las personas tutoras y estudiantes, formación para la observación basada en evidencia, participación de otros docentes, incentivo de diversas experiencias de acompañamiento y elaboración de planes de formación tutorial.
Exonerating the Distinguished Jurists Ibn Taymiyya's Rafʿ al-Malām ʿan al-Aʾimma al-Aʿlām in Translation
Authors: al-Matroudi Abdul-Hakim
Published: December 2022

In Rafʿ al-Malām ʿan al-Aʾimma al-Aʿlām Ibn Taymiyya pursues the argument as to why a mujtahid might depart from directly acting upon textual evidences. This forms the basis of his discussion regarding the causes underlying disagreements found among Muslim scholars in general and their holding differing legal opinions and proffering divergent arguments in support of those opinions. In this work, Ibn Taymiyya calls for tolerance and understanding of the conclusions arrived at by eminent Muslim scholars. Additionally, he insists that even if a scholar was to err in their judgement, it should not be assumed that they intentionally ignored textual evidence as there could be various reasons for what others consider to be a departure from textual evidences. Hence, according to Ibn Taymiyya, such scholars should not be seen as blameworthy and liable to punishment but rather they should be revered as scholars who exercised their right of ijtihad. Thus, even if such a scholar was thought to have erred, there would most certainly be a methodological reason behind such a departure, rather than an intentional contradiction of the relevant textual evidences. Additionally, Ibn Taymiyya asserts that liability for the punishment depends on the existence of certain conditions and the non-existence of impediments and he affirms that reaching certainty in this regard is almost impossible as this is clearly a very complex and complicated process. In this work it is evident that Ibn Taymiyya benefited from various traditions of learning in which he excelled, including jurisprudence, Hadith and philosophy and hence produced a remarkable work which has proved relevant from the time it was authored about eight centuries ago until our present day. This work contains the Arabic text Rafʿ al-Malām ʿan al-Aʾimma al-Aʿlām and its translation.
Rethinking music technology pedagogy: A New Zealand focus
Authors: Morreale Fabio
Published: December 2022

In the creative sector, "music technology" refers to a wide range of musical practices, tools and devices enabled or facilitated by computers. Yet the music technology curriculum in New Zealand, as in other parts of the world, is dominated by two specific tools: commercial Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and notation software. In this chapter, I problematise this limitation by showing the pedagogical issues deriving from this exclusive model and by unpacking the ideological substrate of these tools, which is firmly grounded on neoliberal practices and principles. My analysis covers the ontology of these tools—what they are, what they do—and their business model. I then compare these tools against alternative approaches to music technology based on free-to-use, open-source software and programming languages based on principles of inclusion, collaboration and creative exploration.

Teaching with biosecurity content in the social sciences learning area: A Year 13 social science teacher’s experience
Authors: Ram Rajesh
Published: December 2022

In this era of pandemics, asylum seekers, and conflict between super powers, social sciences are a critical subject that can help develop young people who can not only recognise racial and social discrimination but also injustices at a regional, national, and global scale.

Mainstream subjects, such as sociology, routinely support learning in the social sciences area. As a science/biology teacher, I wanted to find out whether biosecurity science could be used to support learning in the social sciences area. My interest in biosecurity stems from personal and professional experiences in New Zealand. Further, in my own pedagogical experience, teaching science/biology in schools, I found young people (15–18 years) were unfamiliar with the concept of biosecurity in New Zealand.

Considering my experiences, I set out to conduct research to look at the efficacy of using biosecurity in teaching and learning. This paper reports on the experience of one Year 13 social science teacher who used biosecurity content to teach in the social sciences learning area. Classroom observations and individual teacher interviews were used to gather data. The results show that biosecurity content engaged Year 13 social sciences students in the classroom and that the teacher used transformational learning theory to engage his students into undertaking social action related to biosecurity. Given the importance of biosecurity to New Zealand, this paper shows that social sciences as a learning area could support teaching and learning about biosecurity.
World Responsibility to Act in Russia’s War Against Ukraine
Authors:   Jagiellonian University (Poland), Kuźniak Brygida , Zeman Ihor ,   Ivan Franko University of Lviv (Ukraine)
Published: December 2022

The article aims to address the following question: in the case of a war in Ukraine, is public international law an obstacle to the application of combined international enforcement action within the framework of the collective security system under the auspices of the United Nations, or whether such impediments lie elsewhere? Russia’s presence in the Security Council as a permanent member, and thus endowed with the privilege of vetoing resolutions, paralyses this body. Therefore, the subject of the analysis is what other actions of the United Nations are permitted by law. It is important for assessing the status of the UN as a collective actor in international relations, the main objective of which, under Art. 1 of the UN Charter, is “to maintain international peace and security, and, to that end: to take effective collective measures for (…) the suppression of acts of aggression”. Bearing in mind the fact that international law is a consensual legal order, the article assesses its available compulsory mechanisms and instruments. The supplementary objective is to determine whether it is permissible to use the term “war” with regard to the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Czech-Russian Relations. Russian Disinformation Campaign
Authors:   Military University of Technology (Poland), Jacuch Andrzej
Published: December 2022

After the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine and Russia’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, the Czech Republic became fully aware of the threats posed by the Kremlin despite President Zeman has denied the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine and has criticised the EU sanctions against Russia. Czechia belongs to the group of countries through which Russia influences the EU, to gradually and deliberately erode its structures. Russia exerts a strong influence on the Czech Republic by non-military means, including disinformation and propaganda, the activities of secret services, and penetration of its economy and specifically its energy sector. The article aims to answer the question about the role of Russian disinformation and propaganda in the context of Russian influence in the Czech Republic. The role of Russian disinformation and propaganda and how Russia influences Czechia is extensively analysed. The main hypothesis is that Russia treats the Czech Republic as a key state for espionage and disinformation activities and as a zone of influence, undermining the sovereignty of the Czech Republic and the role of NATO and the EU.
State Security and Individual Security as Exemplified by the Recruitment of Secret Collaborators by the Polish Intelligence Service
Authors:   Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), Rosicki Remigiusz
Published: December 2022

The material scope of the research problem presented in the text encompasses the issues concerned with the possibilities for and limitations of recruiting secret collaborators by the Polish civilian intelligence service. The analysis of the problematics of secret collaboration focuses mainly on institutional and legal aspects, which can be seen in its inclusion in the systemic legal perspective, encompassing such dimensions as administrative and legal, criminal and legal, civil and legal, and ethical one. Next to the normative aspects, the text addresses sociological and psychological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators by special services, thereby depicting the main recruitment methods. The methodology adopted is chiefly based on the institutional and legal approach, in which use is made of, inter alia, textual, functional and systemic interpretations. The problem of possible abuse concerned with the recruitment of secret collaborators by special services is illustrated with an abstract case study and a relevant legal interpretation. Besides, to extend the analysis of psychological and sociological aspects of recruiting secret collaborators, the study uses limited open interviews with former officers of the civilian special services operating in Poland before 1990.

Published: December 2022

The collaborative (or sharing) economy continues to shape the tourism industry, challenging both the traditional areas of supply, but especially the trust and digital skills of users, the acceptance of platforms and new inter-personal and community relationships. In the present paper a crosssectional quantitative research was conducted with non-random convenience sampling in order to determine the impact of the collaborative Airbnb platform among Romanian tourists, how wellknown it is and what elements motivate tourists to choose this platform. We also want to analyse the extent to which the benefits and innovations brought by this new phenomenon are in line with the needs and expectations of tourists and whether they are interested in this phenomenon, the extent to which tourists have chosen the Airbnb platform to stay in Romania or abroad.

Published: December 2022

Solid-state data storage is becoming a widely accepted technology and is looking for new ways to provide cost-effective solutions across various information systems. Solid-state drives (SSDs), existing in different types and models, have several sustainable features: storage, dimensions, volume, etc. Due to the wide range of attributes, designing a robust method can easily select from the purchaser/retailer/wholesaler point of view. This work offers a joint multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to rank SSD alternatives, and a newly developed approach, namely Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution (MARCOS) technique, is utilised, and a comparative investigation has also been achieved with other MCDM methods. Data of separate SSDs have been collected from the Indian market with twenty-six different models of eleven brands. The Bonferroni operator (BFO) allocates and compiles the objective weights using the Entropy weights technique (EWT), the Criteria Importance through Inter criteria Correlation (CRITIC) and the Method based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC). The sensitivity analysis using objective weights considering 18 scenarios was performed, and analysis with the Standard deviation shows that the joint MCDM possesses high accuracy and robustness. The results achieved have been tested with Spearman’s rank and Wojciech-Salabun (WS) coefficient, and the first rank goes to SSD-7. The presented results benefit the manufacturers to understand the market requirement better and for the consumer to make a wise decision while purchasing SSD. It also offers future scope for applying the proposed methodology in similar areas, social sciences and engineering, to make complex decisions.

Published: December 2022

Abstract One of the texts in the “Biodiversity in the State of São Paulo” series, within the FAPESP-Biota Program, was dedicated to the Infrastructure for Biodiversity Conservation, with a focus on Biological Collections and Conservation Units. From the early 1960s, when FAPESP was established, to the present day, financial resources have been invested in the preservation of the biodiversity of the national genetic heritage, besides other fields. History of years of advances in scientific knowledge was built, which can be portrayed through the projects that resulted in high-quality data of national and international impact. Microbiological collections are centers that generate technology and specialized human resources, and act (among other things) as living repositories preserving reference material and as witnesses to the history of microbial biodiversity because they preserve what may no longer exist. They have enormous potential to promote the global bioeconomy and address problems that have resulted from the misuse of natural resources. This reading brings everyone the history, advances, and future perspectives of culture collections, within the efforts of 60-year scientific activities in Brazil.

3D deep-learning-enhanced void-growing approach in creating geometric digital twins of buildings
Authors: Pan Yuandong , Braun Alexander , Borrmann André , Brilakis Ioannis
Published: December 2022

The challenge that this paper addresses is how to generate geometric digital twins of the indoor environment of buildings automatically. Unlike most previous research that starts with detecting planes in the point cloud and considers only geometric information, the proposed ‘void-growing’ approach is a full-automatic approach that starts with detecting void space inside rooms, considering geometric information, as well as semantic information predicted from deep learning. Then, based on the detected room spaces, structural elements, as well as doors and windows, are extracted. The method can work in (a) rooms with complex structures like U-shape and L-shape, (b) rooms with different ceiling heights and (c) rooms under a high occlusion level. Compared with previous studies that mainly use geometric information only, the approach also focuses on how to select useful information predicted by deep learning. This study used existing state-of-the-art deep learning architecture for the segmentation task in the proposed approach. By taking useful semantic information into consideration, the proposed approach performs better in creating geometric digital twins of buildings.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un componente de una investigación doctoral que estimó el efecto de un programa de preparación para el ingreso a la universidad llevado a cabo por una universidad pública en Colombia. Específicamente, el texto destaca la relación entre las características personales, socioeconómicas y académicas de los participantes, las acciones del programa en las cuales participaron y sus posibilidades ingreso a la educación superior. Mediante un análisis observacional de fuentes de información secundarias se estructuró y estandarizó una muestra de 20.708 participantes del programa que se inscribieron a la universidad entre el año 2015 y 2019; las variables de interés se midieron una única vez. Los resultados derivaron de un análisis de frecuencia de variables definidas en la investigación y del establecimiento de las posibles asociaciones entre las variables de resultado con las independientes. Los resultados revelaron que las características de los participantes, salvo la ubicación geográfica de la institución educativa, tienen una asociación estadísticamente significativa con la aprobación del examen de admisión. Ser hombre, menor de 18 años, proceder de zonas urbanas de estrato tres y cuatro, haber estudiado en instituciones de carácter académico, y tomar cursos independientes de lectoescritura, matemáticas y física, mejoran la posibilidad de ingreso a la universidad. Finalmente, se discute el aporte del componente de caracterización estudiantil en los programas de preparación para la universidad orientados a promover un acceso equitativo a la educación

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Assessing the risk of children developing mental, behavioral, and developmental disorders (MBDDs), including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), as well as achieving early detection of such disorders, has become one of the most important undertakings for public mental health professionals worldwide.
AIM: This study aims to evaluate the risk of developing MBDDs and the prevalence of MBDDs among young children (1848 months old) in Russia.
METHODS: A two-level epidemiological screening approach was developed and adopted for the purposes of this study. At the first level, the parents of all children between 18 and 48 months old were questioned using Russian national validated Screening Checklist for Parents for Identification of the Risk of Mental, Behavioral, and Developmental Disorders in Early Childhood in nine regions of Russia (Volgograd, Kirov, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Orenburg, Tver, Chelyabinsk, Yaroslavl, and Stavropol). At the second level, children identified at the first level of screening as being at risk of developing MBDDs were assessed by a child psychiatrist on a voluntary basis and diagnosed according to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision criteria.
RESULTS: The present study revealed that the risk of developing MBDDs stands at 13.07% or 1,307 cases per 10,000 child population aged 1848 months, whereas the prevalence of confirmed MBDDs is 1.51% or 151 cases per 10,000 among a Russian child population aged 1848 months.
CONCLUSION: Screening for the risk of developing MBDDs, including ASDs, in Russia among very young children is a promising area of preventive medicine. This initiative allows us to develop optimal algorithms for specialized care measures that could help prevent the development and aggravation of children mental health issues.
Seismicity Scenarios for the Remaining Operating Period of the Gas Field in Groningen, Netherlands
Authors: Zöller Gert , Hainzl Sebastian
Published: December 2022

In recent years, induced seismicity at the Groningen gas field caused increasing public concern and became a critical factor for future gas production plans. Zöller and Holschneider (2016) estimated the upper bound of the 90% confidence interval for the maximum possible magnitude based on the earthquake catalog until 2016 and found M 4.4. In this study, we show that the updated estimate for earthquake activity until 2022 decreases to M 4.0. For the 95% confidence interval, the upper bound that was infinite for the catalog until 2016 decreases to the value M 4.2 for the updated catalog. Because the frequency–magnitude distribution is stable within the uncertainties, it is likely that the growth of the earthquake catalog since 2016 has led to decreasing uncertainties and thus to smaller confidence intervals. Second, we find that a model based on rate-and-state dependent friction with additional aftershocks fits the available data well. Despite the overall decreasing earthquake rate resulting from decreasing production volumes, scenario calculations based on simulated pressure and compaction data indicate a considerable probability that the maximum expected magnitude in the next 30 yr exceeds the maximum observed magnitude from the past 30 yr.

Published: December 2022

The study aims to discuss on the corruption of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) export cases that have led to the scarcity of cooking oil at affordable prices in Indonesia. It is harmful for the public as the Crude Palm Oil (CPO) has been exported without a permit and does not meet the requirements of Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) and Domestic Price Obligation (DPO). The study is a normative legal research employing descriptive-qualitative upon data collected through a library study. The study shows that the case of crude palm oil (CPO) export corruption made the supply of cooking oil disrupted that led to economic and political instability. In response to this, the government conducted an investigation and found  several suspects of  corruption cases. While the legal process running, the discourse on the application of death penalty arose within the society. It was so because this corruption occurred during the pandemic. However, the use of the capital punishment in cases of corruption is restricted because it can only be used in specified circumstances, especially when the funds are intended for dealing with dangerous situations, national natural disasters, social unrest, economic and monetary problems, and corruption repetition.

Authors: Srivastava Namrata , Dwivedi P. N. , Srivastava Nitesh
Published: December 2022

Background: Dry eye is a disease condition wherein the ocular surface is either not uniformly or not completely lubricated by tear film. Dry eye is less prevalent in children, but if observed it may be a manifestation of conditions like Steven Jonson syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, blepharitis, MGD or VKC. Therefore, evaluation of dry eye may aid in effective and timely treatment of other life-threatening diseases in children. Aim of current study was determination of dry eye in pediatrics and to investigate its association with ocular surface disorders like MGD, VKC and VDT.Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 400 patients. All patients were screened for OSDI and patients having index score >11 were investigated for dry eye disease, based on inter blink interval and tear-film breakup time determined using slit lamp and through Schirmer’s test. Dry eye patients were further investigated to determine type and causative factors for dry eye.Results: 25 patients exhibited bilateral dry eye with >12 score. Children of age group 7-18 years were commonly affected. Diseases commonly observed to be associated with dry eye in children were VKC, MGD, or visual display terminal caused due to over use of smart phone and digital screen.Conclusions: The evaporative dry eye due to MGD and VDT is more common in pediatric age group in comparison to aqueous deficiency dry eye. Overuse of smart phones, tablets or computers increases the prevalence of dry eye which inturn affect their outdoor activity, studies and over all development of children.
