Assessment of operational risks in the oil and gas industry
Authors:   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Bogopolsky Vadim O. , Bagirov Azad A. ,   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Shirinov Magomed M. ,   Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University
Published: September 2024

The article provides an overview of the oil and gas extraction industry, recognized as one of the most environmentally hazardous industries globally. It is marked by a high risk of explosions and fires at industrial facilities. Chemical reagents used in drilling wells, oil production and preparation, as well as the extracted hydrocarbons and their impurities, pose harmful threats to flora, fauna, and humans. Additionally, oil and gas production is dangerous due to a high rate of accidents, as primary production processes occur under high pressure and in aggressive environments. The main task of risk identification and assessment is to use risk as a basis for prioritizing actions and managing an inspection program, where equipment and types of work being inspected are ranked according to the degree of risk. In almost every situation, once a risk is identified, there are alternative ways to mitigate it. The analysis and assessment of the state of occupational injuries are essential for the successful operation of any system, including occupational safety. The article examines objective qualitative and quantitative indicators that characterize the state of occupational safety and the safety or danger of production. It highlights that an important aspect of ensuring safety in the operation of oil and gas production and refining facilities involves identifying, analyzing, and controlling the risks of large-scale accidents. To achieve this, it is necessary to implement control measures and certify all possible risks in project documents to prevent them. This task is relevant and specific to each enterprise in the oil and gas industry.
Análise ortogonal do brincar e do brigar: cotidiano e práticas corporais infantis
Authors: Farias Mayrhon José Abrantes , Wiggers Ingrid Dittrich
Published: September 2024

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender como o cotidiano se expressa nos corpos das crianças, com enfoque nas brincadeiras de “lutinha” e brigas no ambiente escolar. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, valendo-se da observação participante e de conversas com 34 crianças, sendo 19 meninas e 15 meninos, com idades entre 9 e 12 anos, organizadas em duas turmas do 4o ano em um Centro de Atenção Integral à Criança e ao Adolescente (CAIC), situado em Sobradinho – DF. As informações produzidas em campo foram apresentadas por meio de quatro episódios, tendo sido analisadas com base na sociologia da infância e do cotidiano. A partir desses episódios, foi sistematizado um modelo de análise ortogonal formado por quatro quadrantes, organizado pelos eixos lúdico e violência, que representam as principais categorias analíticas do binômio brincar/brigar. Ademais, os registros de campo sugerem que as brincadeiras de “lutinha” e as brigas representam dimensões paradoxais do cotidiano infantil.
O sofrimento e o adoecimento psíquico na pósgraduação: a unidade afetivo-cognitiva
Authors: Facci Marilda Gonçalves Dias , Marino Filho Armando , Monteiro Patricia Verlingue Ramires , Silva Silvia Maria Cintra da
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o resultado de uma pesquisa que buscou identificar e analisar a existência e as causas do sofrimento e do adoecimento de estudantes de pós-graduação em Psicologia, com fundamentos na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada por meio da aplicação de questionários. Inicialmente será apresentada uma discussão sobre o sofrimento e o adoecimento e a unidade afeto-cognição. Em seguida, será feita a exposição das informações obtidas a partir de 135 questionários respondidos por pós-graduandos. Como resultados obteve-se que para a maior parte dos estudantes as dificuldades na formação são: conciliar o trabalho e as exigências da pós-graduação, falta de tempo, relação com o orientador, dificuldades financeiras, solidão, baixo valor das bolsas de estudo, altas exigências da pós/autocobrança e cobrança de produtividade. Além disso, muitos estudantes afirmaram vivenciar alguma forma de adoecimento e algum problema de ordem psíquica nos últimos 12 meses, como ansiedade e depressão. As redes de apoio para o enfrentamento dessas problemáticas são: os colegas, as bolsas estudantis, os orientadores e os professores. As conclusões obtidas denotam que os estudantes consideram que o sofrimento e o adoecimento psicológico estão ligados à atividade na pós-graduação. A superação do sofrimento ou adoecimento dos estudantes não pode, por isso, ser compreendida reduzindo-se a problemas individuais, mas sim levando em conta as condições histórico-sociais e analisando a unidade afetivo-cognitivo que permeia a formação. O enfrentamento deve ser coletivo, criando condições objetivas para que o espaço formativo seja potencializador do processo de desenvolvimento humano.
Sequências de ensino investigativo: a presença textual a partir das dissertações dos mestrados profissionais de ensino de ciências
Authors: Silva Tamiris de Almeida , Sedano Luciana , Fireman Elton Casado
Published: September 2024

Este estudo partiu do interesse em mapear como vêm sendo utilizados os textos na construção de Sequências de Ensino Investigativo (SEIs), da área de Ciências da Natureza, nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Assim, buscamos responder, ao longo da pesquisa, as seguintes questões problemas: Como vêm sendo utilizados os textos na construção de SEI da área de Ciências da Natureza nos anos iniciais? Quais são suas funções, gêneros textuais e lugares que estes textos ocupam nestas sequências didáticas? Para respondermos as problemáticas propostas, foi realizado um levantamento de dissertações produzidas em mestrados profissionais, publicadas no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Capes, no período dos anos de 2012 a 2021. Para compor os dados, investigamos os trabalhos que apresentavam, no corpo do texto, o planejamento de SEI, direcionada a trabalhar os conteúdos de Ciências da Natureza com estudantes dosanos iniciais. Os dados revelaram uma preocupação, por parte dos professores/pesquisadores, em inserir, nas aulas de Ciências, momentos de leitura de textos com as crianças; bem como, destacamos, como ponto positivo da pesquisa, a diversidade de gêneros textuais presentes nos trabalhos selecionados.
“PaisTech” da rede social Instagram: feminismo, políticas de masculinidades e representações parentais
Authors: Sulz Juliana Albuquerque , Cardoso Frederico Assis
Published: September 2024

O artigo analisa criticamente as representações de paternidades masculinas presentes em perfis de pais homens na rede social virtual Instagram e que de alguma maneira encontram-se legitimados pela quantidade numericamente expressiva de pessoas que acompanham a produção de seus conteúdos. Baseado em análises sociológicas, o texto tem como referencial teórico as contribuições das teorias críticas, com destaque para as produções sobre o materialismo proposto pelos movimentos feministas e as políticas de masculinidades. Como argumentos principais a pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de que os perfis de “pais tecnológicos” da rede social, ou os “PaisTech”, sejam compreendidos como parte de narrativas construídas no interior de estruturas sociais mais complexas. Como principal contribuição, o artigo defende a compreensão de que, ainda que talvez com intenções comunicativas aparentemente “positivas”, os “PaisTech” acabam porreforçar as diferenças e as desigualdades existentes nas relações parentais de cuidados com a prole desempenhadas por homens e mulheres na educação de seus/suas filhos/as, contribuindo assim para a manutenção de estereótipos sociais de gênero.
Las relaciones entre el Perú y Alemania (1828-2012)
Authors: Novak Fabián
Published: September 2024

La Política Exterior Peruana ha sido materia de un detenido y cuidadoso estudio, por parte de la doctrina jurídica y diplomática, nacional y extranjera, a través de libros, ensayos y artículos. Sin embargo, todos ellos, suelen abordar esta temática de manera integral, concentrándose rnayormente en nuestras relaciones con los países vecinos, descuidando nuestra historia diplomática con importantes países extracontinentales. Precisamente, conscientes de esta carencia, iniciamos en el Instituto de Estudios Internacionales (IDEI) de la PUCP, la Serie: Política Exterior Peruana, destinada al análisis y a la investigación de nuestras relaciones diplomáticas con aquellos países que a la fecha, no han merecido un estudio detallado. En este sentido, el presente volumen -que es la segunda edición, corregida y aumentada, del volumen publicado en el 2003- está dedicado al análisis de nuestras relaciones con la República Federal de Alemania, en el período comprendido entre 1828 -fecha del establecimiento del primer consulado alemán en el Perú- hasta el año 2012. Para tal efecto, se ha creído conveniente dividir el tratamiento de este tema en ocho períodos claramente diferenciados.
Las relaciones entre Perú-Brasil (1826 - 2015)
Authors: Novak Fabián , Namihas Sandra
Published: September 2024

Desde los inicios de la República, el Perú fue consciente de la importancia y la dimensión del Brasil en el contexto sudamericano y mundial. Prueba de ello, son los esfuerzos de nuestras autoridades por establecer relaciones diplomáticas con dicho Estado. Sin embargo, será recién en la segunda década del siglo XX, que se comienza a fortalecer y profundizar la relación, hasta que en el 2003 se logra, finalmente, materializar la alianza estratégica con el gigante sudamericano. Esta evolución positiva de nuestras relaciones con el Brasil fue producto de una visión realista y pragmática de nuestra política exterior, que internalizó los beneficios de una asociación profunda y diversificada con dicho país.
Intereses del Perú en la Región Sur
Authors: Brousset Barrios Jorge , Gamarra Elías Carlos , Novak Talavera Fabián , Yepes del Castillo Ernesto
Published: September 2024

La zona sur peruana tiene un rasgo fundamental que la diferencia del norte y centro del país: los Andes imponen a esa región un sello indeleble y totalizador. Podríamos decir que la del sur constituye la más andina de nuestras regiones. No es de extrañar entonces que la integración hombre-naturaleza a lo largo de ese extenso territorio constituya un reto complejo y múltiple. El mayor desafío de los pueblos y culturas que allí se han desarrollado ha sido precisamente lograr que esa diversidad se convierta en fortaleza a fin de lograr una convivencia armoniosa de la población y su entorno. Por supuesto, los resultados no siempre han sido exitosos. Así, si bien a lo largo de varios siglos tanto el mundo prehispánico como el colonial lograron imponer sus patrones de integración regional norte-sur; en el caso de la República se desarticuló esa integración escindiéndose en segmentos que pasaron a ser parte del Perú, Bolivia y Chile. En suma, la República ha sido hasta hoy incapaz de crear articuladores como los implantados por los Tiahuanaco o los Incas; o por los españoles en el virreinato que integraron longitudinalmente Lima, Huancavelica, Cuzco, el Altiplano y Potosí.
La Alianza del Pacífico: situación, perspectivas y propuestas de consolidación
Authors: Novak Fabián , Namihas Sandra
Published: September 2024

Se debe precisar que la primera edición de este libro fue publicada en español en octubre de 2015. Sin embargo, ante el éxito de esta publicación y la necesidad de internacionalizar su contenido, tanto el IDEI como la KAS creyeron conveniente la preparación de una edición en inglés en 2016 y, ahora, de una segunda edición en español, en particular, motivados por la presidencia pro tempore de la Alianza del Pacífico asumida por el Perú el 24 de julio de 2018, la misma que ha sido declarada (11 de octubre de 2018) de interés nacional por el Gobierno peruano, lo que evidencia el alto interés puesto en este proceso de integración. Esta nueva edición ha permitido la actualización de la información contenida en las anteriores. De esta manera, en la mayoría de los cuadros estadísticos se ha tratado de presentar información publicada en 2018, relativa al comercio, inversión y turismo, así como respecto de los indicadores económicos de los países integrantes de la Alianza. También se ha actualizado la lista de países observadores, las reuniones sostenidas por los diferentes órganos que conforman la Alianza, los acuerdos alcanzados y en general los avances producidos en los últimos años en los cinco pilares de este proceso: libre circulación de bienes, servicios, capitales, personas y cooperación. Cabe referir que el apoyo de la Fundación Konrad Adenauer a esta investigación obedece a que dentro de sus líneas de acción, se encuentra el fortalecimiento de los procesos de integración y de iniciativas, como la Alianza del Pacífico, que persigan el crecimiento y desarrollo económico y social de la región, contribuyendo a la construcción de sociedades dignas, libres y justas. Antes de concluir esta breve presentación queremos agradecer al Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores del Perú, y en particular al embajador Jaime Pomareda y al ministro Javier Sánchez Checa, por la colaboración brindada para acceder a información relevante contenida en esta obra. Asimismo, extendemos nuestro agradecimiento a la Fundación Konrad Adenauer por el apoyo otorgado a la realización de este proyecto académico, contribuyendo con ello al fortalecimiento de la integración en nuestra región.
Tiempos de transición. La conformación de un nuevo orden internacional
Authors: Novak Fabián , Namihas Sandra
Published: September 2024

La obra que se presenta en esta oportunidad va en esta línea, pues pretende analizar el actual escenario internacional que se viene configurando a partir del análisis de sus principales rasgos y características. Para ello, los autores hemos creído conveniente dividir el trabajo en dos capítu­los y una reflexión final. El primer capítulo aborda no solo el concepto de orden internacional sino también los distintos órdenes que han existido en el mundo entre 1815 y 2008. El segundo capítulo, que es el más amplio, se ocupa más bien del escenario inter­nacional actual y, en ese sentido, estudia el declive relativo que vienen sufriendo EE.UU. y la Unión Europea, así como la emergencia de China y otras potencias, lo que viene configurando un orden bipolar transitorio, aunque acompañado de otras potencias menores que también influyen en la toma de decisiones. Asimis­mo, este capítulo analiza otras características del actual escenario tales como: la crisis de la globalización y el multilateralismo, la crisis de la integración, el proteccionismo económico y comercial emergente, la emergencia de naciona­lismos y populismos, la crisis de la democracia liberal y el impacto de los avan­ces tecnológicos. La tercera parte del libro es principalmente una reflexión sobre la orientación que deberían tener las políticas exteriores de los países que conforman América Latina y el Caribe en este nuevo orden todavía en construcción. Para la elaboración de este texto fue necesario desarrollar una búsqueda muy amplia de bibliografía en varios idiomas, de forma tal de recoger el pensamien­to de los principales especialistas respecto de lo que viene ocurriendo en el mundo de hoy. Asimismo, fue importante la data proporcionada por diversas organizaciones y entidades económicas no solo para conocer la situación ac­tual de las principales potencias sino, y sobre todo, para determinar cuál será su proyección futura. De igual forma hubo que recurrir a autores clásicos en el tratamiento de las relaciones internacionales, para establecer ciertos conceptos fundamentales para el análisis posterior.
Dependencia espacial entre sistemas de irrigación y patrones de asentamiento: el manejo del agua en la costa norte prehispánica del Perú
Authors: Schubert Hanna M. , Mader Christian
Published: September 2024

En la costa norte peruana –donde la aridez y las inundaciones estacionales junto con los efectos del fenómeno de El Niño caracterizan este paisaje desértico–, se desarrollaron sistemas de gestión del agua se adaptaron al clima y al entorno para facilitar la agricultura. A través de una revisión de la literatura arqueológica sobre el manejo del agua desde sus inicios en el segundo milenio a.C. hasta la tecnología chimú (1000-1470 d.C.), es posible extraer conclusiones sobre el desarrollo estatal prehispánico en esta región. Al hacerlo, observamos una conexión espacial entre la distribución de asentamientos y la disponibilidad de agua, abarcando tanto las fuentes naturales como las tecnologías de irrigación artificial verificadas arqueológicamente, condicionada por su entorno ecológico y político. Nuestra revisión muestra un cambio significativo en la conexión espacial entre el agua y los asentamientos durante el Periodo Intermedio Tardío. Este fenómeno podría estar vinculado, por un lado, a diversos procesos organizativos económicos y sociopolíticos, y por otro, al potencial para explotar conflictos y reforzar estructuras de poder de manera consciente.
Strategy For Improving The Quality Of Education In Schools
Authors: Maulidiyah Hikmatul
Published: September 2024

The quality (quality) of education has always been something that must be strived for by all elements of education. Therefore, managing an educational institution must be comprehensive and integrated. This is inseparable from how an institution manages that quality. The quality of education can be seen from the fulfillment of the eight educational standards that must be met by schools. The strategy for improving the quality of education must be directed at the components that determine the quality of education in schools, namely: 1) Strengthening Leadership in Schools, 2) Good curriculum management, 3) Increasing the Professionalism of Teachers and Education Personnel, 4) Complete facilities and infrastructure, 5) The creation of good relations with the surrounding community, 6) Continuous evaluation/improvement. By achieving a quality education process, it is ensured that it can also produce quality output by the National Education Standards.

Authors: Hamza Darwisa
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze policies for the development of Islamic religious education in schools and public universities (PTU). Islamic religious education plays an important role in shaping student character, strengthening religious values, and providing a better understanding of the Islamic religion. However, there are challenges faced in developing Islamic religious education, such as lack of resources, inadequate curriculum, lack of qualified teachers, or lack of student interest in Islamic religious subjects. The research methods used in this study involve literature reviews, policy analysis, and primary data collection through interviews or surveys. Data is collected from various sources, including government policies, curriculum guidelines, related research reports, and opinions of relevant stakeholders. The results of this study indicate that Islamic religious education needs to be strengthened in schools and Public Universities through policies that focus on the inclusion of Islamic religious subjects in the curriculum, development of relevant curricula, provision of adequate resources, good teacher training, supervision and rigorous evaluation, collaboration with religious institutions, and better interfaith understanding. This study provides recommendations for improving the development of Islamic religious education, including expanding educational resources, increasing teacher training, revising the curriculum, developing interesting and interactive teaching methods, increasing student participation in religious activities, and using technology in Islamic religious education. In conclusion, the development of Islamic religious education in schools and public universities requires policies that focus on quality teaching, adequate resources, collaboration with religious institutions, and interfaith understanding. Implementation of this policy will play an important role in shaping student character, strengthening religious values, and providing a better understanding of the Islamic religion.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To determine the prevalence of HIV in individuals by analyzing the influence of social determinants and sexual risk behaviors, in order to estimate the crude and adjusted risks of being HIV positive in the municipality of Solidaridad, state of Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Method and Materials: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the municipality of Solidaridad, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Third and fourth generation HIV rapid tests were performed. Descriptive statistics, measures of association (OR and 95 % CI) and p value were calculated for each stratum. Logistic regression models were performed to determine the risk factors associated with being HIV positive in the tests.
Results: The sample consisted of 4,800 people, of whom 3,030 were men (63.12%); the mean age was 32.6 years (SD 14.96). The variables included in the multivariate model for being HIV positive are: men who have sex with men with OR=61.20, age 30-39 years OR=1.72, having anal sex OR=2.21, and as a protective factor having health service OR =0.42.
Conclusions: This study confirms already known social determinants such as being male and being in economically active age and sexual practices such as: having anal sex and men with men. Being entitled to health services was shown to be the only protective factor.

Endogenous Growth and Environmental Kuznets Curve: Lessons from FDI Impact on Economic Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Darkwah Joseph Asante , Boohene David , Oyekunle David , Dorley Faikai , Gbolonyo Patrick
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study aims to determine the influence of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It examines the endogenous growth theory and the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, and how they relate to the regional data.Method: Using panel quantile autoregression models, this study explores the relationship between FDI inflows into SSA with energy consumption, carbon emissions, and economic growth. The study is based on data from 1975 to 2018.Result: The study findings conclusively demonstrate that foreign direct investment has a significant impact on the economic growth of the SSA region. Furthermore, the study reveals that energy consumption and carbon emissions in the SSA have consistently increased throughout the study period, with foreign direct investment being identified as the primary driver of this trend. These findings are consistent with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, as well as the endogenous growth theory, which suggests that FDI operations can have negative consequences on the host environment.Practical Implications for Economic Growth and Development: The study suggests that Sub-Saharan Africa should manage FDI carefully to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability by promoting green investments and creating an investment-friendly environment.

[Bahasa]: Bangunan masjid merupakan bangunan ibadah yang dapat digunakan dan dimanfaatkan oleh jama’ah untuk melakukan ibadah tanpa terkecuali, termasuk lansia dan penyandang disabilitas. Sebagian besar bangunan masjid didesain dan dibangun secara megah, namun belum memenuhi standar peraturan aksesibilitas bangunan. Fasilitas penting masjid terutama tempat wudhu dan kamar mandi masih sulit diakses dan aman bagi jama’ah berkebutuhan khusus. Oleh karena itu, beberapa masjid berbenah dan menambahkan fasilitas agar masjid dan lingkungannya lebih ramah untuk jama’ah, salah satunya adalah Masjid Shalahuddin di Sidoarjo. Paper ini memberikan deskripsi bagaimana tim pengabdi dari Departemen Arsitektur ITS bekerjasama dengan komunitas penyandang disabilitas untuk melakukan pendampingan audit aksesibilitas lingkungan dan bangunan. Selain itu, kegiatan memberikan rekomendasi desain masjid agar memenuhi prinsip desain universal dan inklusif. Dengan pendekatan partisipatif, pengabdian melibatkan pengurus dan jama’ah berkebutuhan khusus saat melakukan eksplorasi dan evaluasi audit aksesibilitas majid. Hasil kegiatan berupa kegiatan simulasi sensitifitas kemudahan bangunan dan rekomendasi rancangan ruang wudhu dan kamar mandi yang aman, nyaman, dan mudah digunakan oleh semua jama’ah tanpa terkecuali.

[English]: Mosque buildings should be accessible and usable by all users for worship without exception, including older people and people with disabilities. Despite the magnificent designs, many mosques often fail to meet building codes and standards for accessibility design. For example, crucial facilities such as ablution areas and bathrooms remain difficult for those with special needs to use safely. Therefore, several mosques have taken steps to enhance accessibility and accommodate users with special needs. One noteworthy example is the Shalahudin Mosque in Sidoarjo. To address these issues, a community service team of lecturers and students from the ITS Architecture Department collaborated with people with disability's community. The aims are to promote awareness of the sensitivity and understanding of universal and inclusive design principles. Furthermore, the team provided recommendations for designing accessible ablution rooms and accessible bathrooms in mosque buildings. The community service employs a participatory approach throughout the process, involving mosque officials and administrators along with users with special needs in exploring and evaluating the mosque's accessibility audit. The results include simulation exercises demonstrating the importance of building convenience sensitivity and recommendations for the design of ablution rooms and bathrooms that are safe, comfortable, and easy to use for all users without exception.

Queer Renaturalisations: Guy Hocquenghem’s Contradictory Nature Politics, Between Identity and Desire
Authors: Klitgård Mathias
Published: September 2024

Queerphobic discourses variably frame nature as defined by reproductive heterosexuality or as defined by unruly desires that civilised heterosexuality promises a progress away from. This article argues that both these politicised determinations of nature follow the logic of ‘renaturalisation’ – a strategy that invokes nature and the natural to reinforce a normative process – and that the ambiguity in nature discourses stems from the conflictual construction of queerness as both social and antisocial. Because queerness oscillates between being a recognisable identity and a critique of everything social, nature discourses used to justify heteronormative ontologies are contradictory and must change according to the context of the argument. Excavating a theory of renaturalisation from Guy Hocquenghem, this article suggests that queer politics should take nature seriously not because nature is inherently progressive or conservative but because this very duality materialises through cultural anxieties around queerness.
Managing Sex, Safeguarding the Soldier: Gender, Race, and Regulationism in Nineteenth Century Colonial Punjab
Authors: Chauhan Sameera
Published: September 2024

Managing sex was an important part of Britain’s imperial project in the colonies. Using a wide range of archival materials and examining the political debates and medical discourse from the nineteenth century, this study delves into the colonial military enterprise of regulating sexual recreation for British troops, and the processes through which the sexualised native woman was configured in colonial Punjab. I argue that paradoxical attempts to make sex available, while simultaneously emphasising imperial social mores of sexual respectability, led to the casting of the ‘prostitute’ as a colonial bogeyman; a vulgar but necessary evil, and a vector of disease.

This community research study aims to investigate the intersecting self-identified precarity factors and identities associated with street-based sex work in a criminalised context, specifically in Athens, Greece, to improve the effectiveness of individualised care interventions. Interviews of 264 cis and trans female sex workers were conducted from June 2021 to December 2022, at a community day centre for sex workers in Athens. The community-based precarity index for sex workers was used, which was developed at the community centre, using factors identified by sex workers themselves. Street-based sex workers more commonly reported interrelated precarious factors, such as perceived problematic substance use, homelessness, client violence, medical issues, and trouble with the police. Trans and refugee identities were both associated with street-based sex work as well. Harm reduction, gender-affirmative and multilingual and multicultural interventions are essential in street-based sex work intervention programs. Decriminalisation of sex work is recommended to reduce the harms and risks associated with sex work.
Convergence Rate Analysis of Non-I.I.D. SplitFed Learning with Partial Worker Participation and Auxiliary Networks
Authors: Talebi Amirreza
Published: September 2024

In conventional Federated Learning (FL), clients work together to train a model managed by a central server, intending to speed up the learning process. However, this approach imposes significant computational and communication burdens on clients, particularly with complex models. Additionally, while FL strives to protect client privacy, the server's access to local and global models raises security concerns. To address these challenges, Split Learning (SL) separates the model into parts handled by the client and the server, though it suffers from inefficiencies due to sequential client participation. To overcome these issues, SplitFed Learning (SFL) was proposed, which combines the parallelism of FL with the model-splitting strategy of SL, enabling simultaneous training by multiple clients. Our main contribution is the theoretical analysis of SFL, which, for the first time, includes non-i.i.d. datasets, non-convex loss functions, and both full and partial client participation. We provide convergence proofs for a state-of-the-art SFL algorithm based on conventional convergence analysis assumptions for FL. Our results prove that we can recover the linear convergence rate of conventional FL for the SFL algorithm with the distinction that increasing the number of local steps or clients may not speed up the convergence in SFL.
On the Calibration of the Kennedy Model
Authors: Tóth-Lakits Dalma , Arató Miklós
Published: September 2024

The Kennedy model offers a robust framework for modeling forward rates, leveraging Gaussian random fields to accommodate emerging phenomena such as negative rates. In our study, we employ maximum likelihood estimations to determine the parameters of the Kennedy field, utilizing Radon-Nikodym derivatives for enhanced accuracy. We introduce an efficient simulation method for the Kennedy field and develop a Black-Scholes-like analytical pricing formula for diverse financial assets. Additionally, we present a novel parameter estimation algorithm grounded in numerical extreme value optimization, enabling the recalibration of parameters based on observed financial product prices. To validate the efficacy of our approach, we assess its performance using real-world par swap rates in the latter part of this article.

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of metabolic diseases (7 types in human and 5 types in domestic dog), which result from the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in cells, tissue, organs, causing their abnormal functioning. They are the result of a deficiency or total inactivity of catabolic enzymes responsible for the break down of glycosaminoglycans. MPSs are characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms. Skeletal deformation, organomegaly, delayed growth and corneal opacities are typical symptoms of the disease. This is a group of rare, inherited metabolic diseases that affect the body’s ability to break down mucopolysaccharides. The aim of the literature research was to present information on the mode of inheritance of mucopolysaccharidosis and the genetic basis of individual types, including the breeds of dogs in which a given type of disease was identified. Due to the complexity of symptoms, mucopolysaccharidoses are difficult to treat. The diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidoses uses clinical diagnostic methods based on screening methods and molecular diagnostics, which are characterized by accuracy and sensitivity similar to methods used in humans.

Authors: Rizzo Joici , Bastos Eduardo S. , Reginato Lucas Alexandre , Lazzari Paula Manica , Da Silva Filho Luiz Carlos Pinto
Published: September 2024

In this study, the mechanical behavior of concrete structures reinforced with one and two layers of the Brazilian glass textile “AR-360” was verified through direct tensile tests. The analysis of the mechanical behavior of the structures was performed with stress-strain curves, evaluating the transition points of the formed stages, rupture mode, rupture stress and strain, as well as an analysis comparing experimental results with analytics. Regarding the results, there was a structural inability of the pieces reinforced with a layer of glass textile. In the samples in which reinforcement with two layers of the aforementioned material was evaluated, the three stages present in the stress-strain curves were correctly identified, as predicted in the literature for the structures evaluated.

» Computer-assisted robots aid orthopaedic surgeons in implant positioning and bony resection. Surgeons selecting a robot for their practice are faced with numerous options. This study aims to make the choice less daunting by reviewing the most commonly used Food and Drug Administration-approved robotic total knee arthroplasty platforms in the American arthroplasty market.

» Modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) robots use computer guidance to create a virtual knee model that serves as the surgeon's canvas for resection planning.

» Most available robotic TKA (rTKA) systems are closed semiactive systems that restrict implant use to those of the manufacturer.

» Each system has distinct imaging requirements, safety features, resection methods, and operating room footprints that will affect a surgeon's technique and practice.

» Robots carry different purchase, maintenance, and equipment costs that will influence patient access across different socioeconomic groups.

» Some studies show improved early patient-reported outcomes with rTKA, but long-term studies have yet to show clinical superiority over manual TKA.

Water quality monitoring data are routinely collected during dredging and placement operations to address various state and federal requirements, including water quality standards, with the intention of protecting ecosystem health. However, such efforts may be limited by the lack of a standardized national strategic focus and user-friendly streamlined interfaces to interpret the data. Inconsistencies in how and what data are collected and lack of consensus on scientifically backed biological-effects thresholds make it difficult to quantify potential dredging operations impacts (or lack thereof) both within individual projects over time and across multiple projects of differing characteristics. Summarized herein is an initial effort to define a scientifically backed path forward to improve the value of current and future water quality monitoring and management decisions based on water quality data collected. The provided turbidity data were generally below applicable state thresholds for two case studies but for a third case study did periodically exceed thresholds at depth. This includes providing rationale for strategic focus on the most relevant dredging operations and projects, based on three general site-specific data categorizations: (1) sediment type, (2) dredge type, and (3) ecosystem type.

Education is one of the development sectors of the Indonesian nation to advance society in forming intellectual human resources. Contributions in the field of education are very important to be considered by the government in order to develop educational facilities and infrastructure for the people of Indonesia. The use of zakat funds in the long term is the solution for poor children in terms of education. Even so, it turns out that there are still many people who have not been touched by educational assistance through zakat. Therefore, BAZNAS is expected to be able to touch on this issue through its program, namely Sleman Smart. This research was carried out in 4 different places, namely at the BAZNAS Sleman Office, SD Negeri Perumnas 3, MTs N 4, and MAN 5 Sleman. The research method used is a qualitative method with a juridical-normative and sociological approach. The results of this study are the distribution of zakat funds at BAZNAS Sleman with 5 work programs. The 5 work programs consist of: Productive Sleman, Healthy Sleman, Smart Sleman, Careful Sleman and Taqwa Sleman. Another form that is carried out by the Sleman National Amil Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) is by using the muzakki route by awakening the muzakki themselves. BAZNAS Sleman also coordinates with Islamic organizations such as Nahdatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah so that there is no overlap between one another. Specifically, the Sleman Smart program was carried out in coordination with the education office and also the social service. Technical optimization of the National Amil Zakat Agency in this program consists of planning, organizing, collection and supervision. Another result is the distribution of zakat in the education sector in the form of cash distributed to underprivileged students (poor people). This program is expected to exist by students who need it.

The role of Islamic millennial development has a very positive impact on the progress of the nation. Starting many groups on behalf of the hijrah community, da'wah is filled by young people. This research method uses the literature review method by reading primary and secondary literature on development and maqashid sharia. This shows that young people are not negligent with this challenging life. This article aims to find out how maqashid sharia views on sustainable Islamic development. The results of this study explain that the concept of maqasid al-syari'ah is essentially based on revelation to realize the benefits of human life. Considering that maqasid al-syari'ah formulated by scholars rests on five basic needs (benefits) of human life: maintenance of religion, soul, mind, offspring, and property in accordance with the context of the times, a discourse emerged to develop the concept of maqasid al-syari'ah by adding five basic human needs in accordance with the conditions of modern times.
ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN PASAL 112 DAN PASAL 127 UNDANG-UNDANG NARKOTIKA KEPADA PENYALAHGUNA NARKOTIKA GOLONGAN 1 BUKAN TANAMAN

Penggunaan pasal 112 ayat (1) dan pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a oleh Aparat Penegak Hukum dalam menuntut penyalahguna kasus narkotika dinilai tidak tepat, karena pasal a quo merupakan multitafsit/karet dan menimbulkan ketidakadilan kepada penyalahguna narkotika, salah satunya pada kasus 128/PID.SUS/2023/PN KLN, hakim menjatuhkan pasal 112 ayat (1) UU Narkotika kepada kedua terdakwa dengan penjara selama 4 tahun 6 bulan dan 4 tahun 1 bulan. maka demikian, untuk melihat penggunaan pasal a quo dalam kasus 128/PID.SUS/2023/PN KLN sudah tepat penulis menggunakan teori keadilan dan teori rehabilitasi sebagai dasar untuk mengkaji penggunaan pasal tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini penelitian kualitatif dengan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa penerapan pasal 112 ayat (1) dinilai tidak adil dan tidak memberikan hak-hak bagi penyalahuguna yaitu salah satunya adalah hak rehabilitasi yang terdapat pada pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a. Maka sudah seharusnya penyalaguna narkotika dijatuhi pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a. karena pemidaan penjara tidak efektif dan menimbulkan overcapacity lapas serta rehabilitasi sangat diperlukan bagi penyalaguna agar tidak kembali bergantung pada narkotika.
            Kata Kunci : Narkotika, Keadilan, Rehabilitasi
