PENGARUH PENEGAKAN HUKUM PIDANA DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP WILAYAH PERTAMBANGAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Zulfikar Ahmad Arif
Published: September 2023

Salah satu contoh sumber daya tidak dapat diperbarui yang memiliki peranan vital dalam aspek ekonomi di Indonesia ialah sektor pertambangan. Cadangan sumber daya batu bara yang mencapai 147,6 miliar ton tersebar di 21 provinsi di indonesia. pemanfaatan potensi sumber daya alam sebagai bahan awal untuk diolah lebih lanjut dan sebagai sumber daya energi memberikan dampak positif dalam peningkatan perekonomian, namun di sisi lain berdampak negatif seperti timbulnya pencemaran lingkungan. Untuk itu diperlukan kebijakan hukum yang dapat mengelola dan memanfaatkan potensi mineral dan batubara secara efisien, serta berwawasan lingkungan, untuk menjamin pembangunan nasional yang berkelanjutan tanpa membahayakan lingkungan sekitar. Oleh karena itu, dikeluarkanlah Peraturan dalam UU Republik Indonesia No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Mineral dan Pertambangan Batubara yaitu produk hukum yang akan mengatur kegiatan pertambangan di Indonesia. Meski demikian, fakta di kondisi lapangan menjelaskan bahwa masih terdapat tindak pidana di sektor pertambangan yang belum terselesaikan dengan beberapa kasus diantaranya penambangan emas dan batuan secara ilegal. Kondisi inilah yang mendorong peneliti untuk membahas permasalahan pengaruh penegakan hukum di bidang pertambangan serta dampak kegiatan pertambangan terhadap wilayah di Indonesia melalui studi literatur dan penelitian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya. Berdasarkan topik yang akan dibahas, jenis penelitian yang dipakai merupakan penelitian hukum normatif sosiologis yaitu melalui kajian terhadap perundang-undangan yang berlaku dan referensi lain seperti jurnal penelitian. Hasil setudi literatur dalam penelitian ini menyebutkan bahwa kegiatan pertambangan selain dapat mengangkat status ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyarakat serta pelaku usaha pertambangan, nyatanya tidak selalu memenuhi persyaratan administrasi pertambangan dan masih memiliki sistematika kerja yang belum peduli lingkungan.

Unseen barrier of water risks to sustainable consumption and production in micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMES) in Kenya
Authors: Bessy Eva Kathambi  , Linda Obiero
Published: September 2023

World economic reports cite MSMEs as important vehicles for sustainable economic growth for any country. With changing climatic conditions, water, as a resource has become scarce thus water risks, have been underscored to be an unseen barrier to the posterity of MSMEs with the potential of impacting on their unsustainable consumption patterns. Global city populations projected to double by 2050; water issues and availability are rendered high risk for businesses. Kenya termed as a water-scarce country, transfers the harsh reality of water risks as an unseen barrier to any MSMEs. The aim of the study was to investigate the unseen barrier of water risks to sustainable consumption and production in MSMEs and their threat to business bottom lines. The study was conducted through a systematic literature review of articles on water crisis and MSMEs globally and in Nairobi. Findings of the study indicate that a water crisis may result in insufficient water for a business to maintain production, while poor water quality could increase pre-treatment costs for industry explicating water risk as an unseen barrier. Water risks are further impacted by weak water governance which results in erratic water deliveries, resulting in production delays. Water risks manifest in inadequate water quantity or quality, which require MSMEs to relocate water-intense operations to water secure areas and pursuing alternatives such as building artificial storage.  Water risks require huge investments to resolve it underscoring its unseen barrier for the posterity of the MSMEs. To mitigate water risks, cost-effective measures that can be taken comprise putting guidelines on water efficiency, measuring the consumption of water, and investing in new technology that ensures efficient use of water.
Determinants and Competitiveness of Rice Export in Tanzania: A Vector Error Correction Model
Authors: Luhwago Win , Philip Damas , Kadigi Reuben , Mgeni Charles , Kangile Rajabu
Published: September 2023

The rice export industry in Tanzania is seemingly performing poorly despite the country being the leading rice producer amongst the East African Community (EAC) member states. The extensive government interventions which have occurred in the industry and the existence of inward-looking trade policies such as the Common External Tariff within EAC would have resulted in increased rice exports especially, through the intra-regional trade, however this has remained more of an oratorical rather than practical attainment the reasons for which are not known with certainty. This paper is an attempt to fill this knowledge gap. The paper investigates the determinants of rice exports in Tanzania. Specifically, it examines the influence of price and non-price factors on rice exports and assesses the competitiveness of Tanzanian rice in the EAC export market. The paper uses secondary data obtained from government institutions and other international data repositories. The Vector Error Correction Model is used to capture the dynamics of rice export in Tanzania and the competitiveness of rice exported is assessed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage Model. The results show that real exchange rates, international rice prices, quantity produced and the average GDP per capita of the main importers of Tanzania rice in EAC were the key determinants of rice export performance though the commodity was found to be less competitive within the EAC and neighboring countries such as Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique which also import rice from Tanzanian. To improve rice export performance and enhance competitiveness, the country should increase production to take advantage of existing demand for rice from EAC countries and other neighboring countries.
Consecutive four-component synthesis of trisubstituted 3-iodoindoles by an alkynylation–cyclization–iodination–alkylation sequence
Authors: Ledermann Nadia , Moubsit Alae-Eddine , Müller Thomas J J
Published: September 2023

A library of 19 differently substituted 3-iodoindoles is generated by a consecutive four-component reaction starting from ortho-haloanilines, terminal alkynes, N-iodosuccinimide, and alkyl halides in yields of 11–69%. Initiated by a copper-free alkynylation, followed by a base-catalyzed cyclizive indole formation, electrophilic iodination, and finally electrophilic trapping of the intermediary indole anion with alkyl halides provides a concise one-pot synthesis of 3-iodoindoles. The latter are valuable substrates for Suzuki arylations, which are exemplified with the syntheses of four derivatives, some of them are blue emitters in solution and in the solid state, in good yield.

Como resultado de este trabajo se evidencióa falta de un procedimiento específico para poder reclamar valores pagados por los deudores subsidiario en el juicio de alimentos. Como conclusión se identificó que la doctrina, la legislación y la jurisprudencia ecuatorianao han establecido ningún tipo de procedimiento al respecto.
ANOTHER LANGUAGE BASIS OF THE TERMINOLOGY OF THE NATURE MUSEUM CASE
Authors: Fetsko Ivanna
Published: September 2023

The article examines the place and role of borrowings in the Ukrainian term system of the natural museum case. The  composition of borrowings is clarified and the specifics of the functioning of types of foreign language term units are determined. The  expediency of application of borrowed term units in the modern Ukrainian language has been determined. The reasons for the appearance of  a significant number of borrowings in the terminological vocabulary have been clarified. It was revealed that the terminology of the natural  museum area contains a significant layer of units of Greek-Latin origin, as well as borrowings from German, French, Italian, Arabic, and Dutch languages, which makes it possible to talk about the international character of the terminology. The largest part of terms of foreign  origin in the studied terminology are borrowings from classical languages - Latin and Greek. The Latin language had a special role in  medieval Europe, as it almost completely dominated in science, education and other spheres of life. Even from that time, Latinisms became a  source of replenishment of scientific terminologies of all European languages. Since classical Latin was filled with Greek borrowings, the  Greek language also became a lexical reserve for the construction of new terms. Mixed language constructions formed by combining two
bases of the type Latin + Greek, Greek + Latin, French + Latin are also considered. The solution of urgent tasks regarding the organization  and further replenishment of the studied term system of the Ukrainian language in accordance with modern economic and scientific
and technical development requires a deep study of the sources, ways and methods of term formation inherent in the Ukrainian literary  language. The involvement of foreign loanwords enables Ukrainian terminology to organically fit into the global scientific and technical  context. Entering the term system, foreign language units undergo appropriate phonetic, morphological and semantic adaptation, which  contributes to the expansion and enrichment of the modern Ukrainian term system of natural museum case.
MULTIPLE MEANING TERMS IN LIBRARY AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC TERMINOLOGY
Authors: Bilousova Roksana
Published: September 2023

The article is aimed at the study of the phenomenon of polysemy in the Ukrainian term system of library science and bibliographic study. It has been found that, despite the requirement for an ideal term as a sign of the term system to possess a single meaning  (monoseme) within a certain industry-specific terminology, the multi-meaning terms, however, are a common phenomenon  occurring rather in a professional language.
Based on the analysis of the semantic structure of the studied term system, there has been distinguished external-systemic and internal-systemic (intra industry-specific) polysemy. External-systemic polysemy in Ukrainian librarian-bibliographical terminology is caused by the similarity of processes and phenomena in various fields of human activity and it involves the use of terms that function simultaneously in: a)  one or more term systems and b) or/ as well as in common lexis, for example: indexing means 1) “a system of designations (classification indices) used during the systematization of documents to express their classification features” in Ukrainian Library Science and Bibliography; 2) “a mechanism established by legislation to increase the monetary income of citizens, which makes it possible to partially or  fully compensate the increase in the price of consumer goods and services”.
Internal-systemic polysemy is a characteristic feature of the terms which belong to only one term system (it appears in the library and  bibliographic term system as a result of categorical ambiguity, which is also called metonymic transfer, i.e. a reference, meaning: 1) “a verbal  or digital designation (mark) that addresses the reader to another fragment of the text or to a source, from where the author takes the quotes,  facts”, 2) “a short note that connects parts of the document, bibliographic entries in catalogues, card files, bibliographic manuals”, 3)  “a form of reference “Refer to”.
By the structure, polysemous terms of Ukrainian Library Science and Bibliography are divided into: a) single-component (subscription,  edition, reference, index, root, manuscript); b) term compounds (mostly two-component, seldom three- and fourcomponent) (database,  virtual help, book hygiene, source of bibliographic information). It has been studied that polysemy prevails among single-component terms  in Ukrainian library and bibliographic term system, because terms with a more complex expression plan have less ability to develop polysemy.

To Measure or Not to Measure: Perspectives of Measurement-Based Care From the Trenches
Authors: DeMoss Dustin
Published: September 2023

Measurement-based care has improved patient health outcomes by adding precision to clinical decision making at the patient level, when implemented correctly, across health care systems. Payors and system administrators also use measurements to assess program performance and inform resource allocation. This article describes frustrations and unintended consequences experienced by patients, psychiatric providers, administrators, and health systems when exuberant measurement, often without clearly stated goals, is promulgated with insufficient consideration as to the purpose, selection, and timing of these measurements by administrators and health systems. We propose some principles to inform when, how, by whom, and what to measure in managing the care of psychiatric patients.

Health-related Quality of Life in Elderly Asian American and Non-Hispanic White Cancer Survivors
Authors: Vang Suzanne
Published: September 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in elderly Asian American and non-Hispanic White cancer survivors.Methods: We conducted cross-sectional secondary data analyses using the combined datasets from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey.Results: Elderly Asian American cancer survivors reported a lower mental HRQoL but a comparable physical HRQoL relative to elderly non-Hispanic White cancer survivors. Stress factors, such as comorbidities, difficulties with activities of daily living, and a history of depressive symptoms, along with coping resources like self-rated health and the ability to take the survey in English, were significantly associated with mental and physical HRQoL. Among elderly Asian American cancer survivors, a significantly lower mental HRQoL was observed among those taking the survey in the Chinese language.Conclusions: The findings suggest that race exerts a differential impact on HRQoL. Interventions should be designed to address the distinct cultural, linguistic, and systemic needs of elderly Asian American cancer survivors. Such an approach could assist in reducing cancer-related health disparities.

Authors: Ortega Priego Jose Luis , Delgado-Quirós Lorena
Published: September 2023

Este estudio pretende comprobar cómo diferentes modelos de publicación de revistas científica pueden favorecer o reducir la incidencia de artículos erróneos o fraudulentos, a la vez que busca medir la respuesta de revistas a estos problemas en función de estos modelos. Para esto, se propone una nueva forma de estudiar el fraude científico en las publicaciones. Los comentarios expresados en PubPeer sobre 17.244 artículos problemáticos fueron comparados con la respuesta editorial de las revistas (i.e. notas editoriales). Las revistas de estas publicaciones fueron clasificadas en función de diferentes criterios editoriales: tipo de editor, tipo de acceso, modelo de financiación y tipo de revisión por pares. Los resultados muestran que a pesar de que las revistas editadas por la academia sufren más de artículos problemáticos, emiten el mismo número de notas editoriales que las revistas comerciales; las revistas de acceso abierto reaccionan mejor ante artículos problemáticos que revistas de pago; revistas de acceso abierto sin APC tienen una incidencia especial de Fraude en la publicación; y revistas que emplean una revisión en abierto sufren menos de fraude científico y ligeramente emiten más notas editoriales.

Application of Machine Learning for Disabled Persons
Authors: Shinkar Rajeshri
Published: September 2023

Communication with the disabled person who is deaf-mute person is very difficult. Even though sign language is crucial for deaf-mute persons to communicate with other people and with themselves, regular people still pay it little attention. Normal people often overlook the value of sign language unless they have family members who are deaf-mute. Using sign language interpreters is one way to communicate with those who are deaf-mute. However, hiring sign language interpreters can be expensive. A model that can automatically convert their motions into words can be used as a low-cost replacement for the interpreters. This chapter gives the description about the development of a model which helps automatic detection of actions with real time using the Mediapipe model and then with the help of sign language conversion model it translates into the textual format.

Using SVM and CNN as Image Classifiers for Brain Tumor Dataset
Authors: Zia Maryam , Gohar Hiba
Published: September 2023

Brain tumors make up 85% to 90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies. Over a thousand people are diagnosed with cancer each year, and brain tumors are one of those fatal illnesses. It is challenging to diagnose this because of the intricate anatomy of the brain. Medical image processing is expanding rapidly today as it aids in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. Initially, a limited dataset was utilized to develop a support vector machine (SVM) model for the classification of brain tumors. The tumors were classified as either present or absent. As the dataset was small, the SVM model achieved great accuracy. To increase the dataset's size, data augmentation, an image pre-processing technique was used. Due to the SVM's limitations in producing high accuracy over a large dataset, convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to produce a more accurate model. Using both SVM and CNN aided in drawing comparisons between deep learning techniques and conventional machine learning techniques. MRI scans were used for tumor classification using the mentioned models.

Published: September 2023

Community detection in social network analysis is crucial for understanding network structure and organization. It helps identify cohesive groups of nodes, allowing for targeted analysis and interventions. Girvan-Newman, Walktrap, and Louvain are popular algorithms used for community detection. Girvan-Newman focuses on betweenness centrality, Walktrap uses random walks, and Louvain optimizes modularity. Experimental results show that the label propagation algorithm (LPA) is efficient in extracting community structures. LPA has linear time complexity and does not require prior specification of the number of communities. However, it focuses on characterizing the number of communities rather than labeling them. K-clique performs well when the number of communities is known in advance. Louvain excels in modularity and community identification. Overall, community detection algorithms are essential for understanding network structures and functional units.

Published: September 2023

The 2015 Paris Agreement promises to strengthen the global response to climate change in the context of sustainable development. This chapter examines the socio-legal opportunities and barriers to achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Nigeria. The three countries have unique approaches to addressing climate change due to their unique areas of intensive carbon emissions. They represent the East, West, and Southern areas in SSA. The chapter investigates the impact of climate change mitigation activities in line with the Paris Agreement on societies in the chosen countries. It evaluates the core climate change mitigation target per country to identify opportunities and challenges to achieving the mitigation objectives of the Paris Agreement in SSA. The chapter finds that while there are opportunities for SSA countries to pursue the low carbon and climate change mitigation objectives of the Paris Agreement, a danger may lie in following the global climate agenda under the Paris Agreement at the cost of national circumstances.

The proportion of current smokers was 17.9% and experienced smokers was 34.2% in girl high schools.2. According to the factors family, school, peer, social learning, and psychological factors, the predictable variables are lack of family attachment and function in family factors, school involvement in school factors, associating with smokers among peers and modeling and differential reinforcement of smoking in social learning factors, self-assertiveness, self-esteem, and depression in psychological factors.3. According to all the factors, the main predictors were peer association, differential reinforcement of smoking, and lack of family attachment. These variables cause 48.4% of smoking behavior. To prohibit smoking among female students, this society should develop a program to focus on peer leadership about quitting smoking, acquirement of skills of refusal for smoking, counter conditioning, reinforcement management, and support system about nonsmoking.

The purpose of this study is to collect fundamental data for adult female health improvement based on urban adult female obesity and cardiopulmonary function. Surveyed were 859 adult females who visited a health improvement center in D district in Seoul between April, 1999, and December, 1999, and the resulting data are as follows: 1. The adult female mean BMI was 23.97+/-3.11kg/m2, which comes within the range of overweight. Among them, BMI of the females aged 41-60, and over 60, were significantly higher. Mean percentage of body fat was 32.07+/-4.63, and it significantly increased in accordance with age, recording the highest among those aged over 60.2. The systolic blood pressure significantly increased in accordance with age, recording highest among those aged over 60. Those aged 41-60 and over 60 showed significantly higher diastolic blood pressure than those in their 20s and 30s; however, they had a significantly lower heart rate. Vital capacity and maximum oxygen intake significantly decreased in accordance with age, and those aged over 60 were lowest.3. As to health perception, 20.6% of the subjects perceived themselves as healthy, and those who perceived themselves as unhealthy showed significantly higher BMI than those who perceived themselves to be of moderate health.4. There were no significant differences in blood pressure, heart rate and maximum oxygen intake in accordance with health perception, but those who perceived themselves as healthy showed significantly higher vital capacity than those who didn't.5. As to cardiopulmonary function in accordance with obesity, the obese group showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure than those whose weight was normal to overweight. The diastolic blood pressure of the normal weight group was the lowest, while the obese group showed significantly lower vital capacity and maximum oxygen intake. These findings indicate that the womens' health promotion program must include an effective strategy for preventing obesity, and strengthening cardiopulmonary function.

Authors: Mande Dhanashree D. , Kumbhare Manoj R. , Surana Ajay R.
Published: September 2023

The most commonly cultivated vine cactus in the Cactaceae family is normally Hylocereus undatus, which would be native to Mexico and America. It is commonly referred to as "dragon fruit" or "pitaya." Additionally, it goes by the name "buahnaga," which means "dragon fruit." In addition to their attractive color, Hylocereus undatus fruits are popular around the world due to their abundance of polyphenolic components and their antioxidant activity. Due to the characteristics, degree of production, and financial benefits of the pitahaya fruit, a member of the Hylocereus genus, more land has been planted in agriculture during the past two decades. Stalks, fruits, and flowers from the plant are used in food and film.
Subordinacy theory on star-like graphs
Authors: Levi Netanel
Published: September 2023

We study Jacobi matrices on star-like graphs, which are graphs that are given by the pasting of a finite number of half-lines to a compact graph. Specifically, we extend subordinacy theory to this type of graphs, that is, we find a connection between asymptotic properties of solutions to the eigenvalue equations and continuity properties of the spectral measure with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We also use this theory in order to derive results regarding the multiplicity of the singular spectrum.

We describe the spectrum structure for the restricted Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in multi-tubes, i.e., domains with cylindrical outlets to infinity. Some new effects in comparison with the local case are discovered.
Real interpolations for martingale Hardy–Orlicz–Lorentz spaces
Authors: Fan Wenfei , Li Yanmeng , Wu Lian
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this paper is to provide a new proof of real interpolations for martingale Hardy–Orlicz–Lorentz spaces. Different from the usual proof, our approach does not rely on any atomic decompositions. Instead, we establish the result via new Holmstedt’s formulae in martingale Hardy–Orlicz type spaces.
Multi-layered tumor cell cultures with almost periodic nutrient supply
Authors: Díaz-Marín Homero G. , Osuna Castro Osvaldo
Published: September 2023

Modeling of multi-layered cell cultures (MCC) assume flat geometry in a 3D tumor growth model.Some results available in the time-dependent framework assume a periodic nutrient supply

\Phi(t)

. Our aim is to generalize such considerations. Namely, we show that a stable oscillating tumor growth arises in the long term, whenever the mean value of the almost periodic nutrient supply

\overline{\Phi}

surpasses certain threshold level,

\overline{\Phi}>\tilde{\sigma}

. Meanwhile, a vanishing tumor is predicted in the complementary case,

\overline{\Phi}\leq \tilde{\sigma}

.

Diabetes and associated complications represent major global public health issues which are associated with impaired quality of life and premature death. Although some diabetic complications have decreased in the developed world, the majority are still prevalent, with an increasing trend in the developing world. Currently used therapies are mainly ‘glucocentric’, focusing on the optimization of glycemic control to prevent, delay or manage diabetes-associated complications- other common comorbidities, such as dyslipidemia and hypertension are often underestimated. Although a number of novel therapeutic approaches have been reported recently, some of them have not received comparable attention in relation to either further studies or potential clinical implementation. This editorial briefly discusses some recent therapeutic approaches to the prevention and management of diabetes and its associated complications, as well as potential directions for future research and development in this area.
A Comparison of the Mid-Size Male THOR and Hybrid III ATDs in Vehicle
Frontal Crash Tests
Authors: O’Connor Chris , Kim Agnes , Barrette Tim , Dix Jeff
Published: September 2023

In order to evaluate the THOR-50M as a front impact Anthropomorphic Test Device
(ATD) for vehicle safety design, the ATD was compared to the H3-50M in matching
vehicle crash tests for 20 unique vehicle models from 2 vehicle manufacturers.
For the belted driver condition, a total of fifty-four crash tests were
investigated in the 56.3 km/h (35 mph) front rigid barrier impact condition.
Four more tests were compared for the unbelted driver and right front passenger
at 40.2 km/h (25 mph) in the flat frontal and 30-degree right oblique rigid
barrier impact conditions. The two ATDs were also evaluated for their ability to
predict injury risk by comparing their fleet average injury risk to Crash
Investigation Sampling System (CISS) accident data for similar conditions. The
differences in seating position and their effect on ATD responses were also
investigated.

This study showed that the belted THOR-50M injury responses were higher than the
H3-50M by 25%-180%, in all reported ATD responses, except chest acceleration.
For one unbelted condition, the THOR-50M reported 200%-300% higher neck
responses than the H3-50M, primarily due to head contact to the roof structure
in a mid-sized sedan. The THOR-50M overpredicted the injury risk based on chest
deflection compared to the CISS accident data by at least a factor of 4 times.
The THOR-50M also overpredicted the injury risk based on BrIC by at least a
factor of 10 times. Future work is needed to investigate these overpredictions
with respect to ATD construction, injury risk curves, and seating
procedures.
