El compromiso autonómico en el diseño jurídico del juego responsable
Authors: Rivas Castillo Maria Isabel
Published: August 2023

La prevención, la intervención y la reparación en el sector del juego se convierten en basamentos sobre los que se vienen trazando los bocetos de nuevas normas, que en conjunto se prevé que ofrezcan un escenario de armonía en un ámbito cada día más complejo. Nuevos modelos de juegos y apuestas, el uso de medios tecnológicos y la proliferación de establecimientos en los que se desarrollan, han llevado a que desde enero de 2019 la Junta de Extremadura comenzase un proceso intenso de adaptación de las normas sobre el sector, tarea que se fundamenta en principios de juego responsable. La delimitación de qué se entiende por juego responsable, así como de la adopción de medidas de ordenación de las políticas de juego responsable darán protagonismo a las nuevas directrices normativas. Una labor que ha comenzado y requiere un arduo esfuerzo por parte de todos los agentes del sector en la que el papel de las Administraciones públicas se dibuja esencial. Antes, durante y después de la puesta en marcha de cada juego y de las distintas modalidades de apuestas se activarán las funciones de una Administración autonómica que orientará su actuación hacia objetivos de prevención y protección de los grupos vulnerables, en definitiva, de responsabilidad.
COMPARISON OF SIGNAL RECOGNITION METHODS BY COMBINED USE OF APPROPRIATE EVALUATION CRITERIA WITHIN THE ADDITIVE CONVOLUTION
Authors:   Institute of Control Systems, Baku, Azerbaijan, Rzayev Ramin , Kerimov Azer ,   Institute of Control Systems, Baku, Azerbaijan
Published: August 2023

Existing signal recognition methods have both their advantages and disadvantages, which are found when recognizing signals from classes defined by different characteristic standards. Therefore, for signals from different classes, the indicators of recognition quality by one method or another can differ significantly. There is a need to create a more balanced method capable of providing the necessary stability relative to the accuracy and reliability of the final results in the process of recognizing signals from various classes. As such signal recognition method, the article proposes to use an approach based on the combine using of weighted signal proximity criteria within the additive convolution. Euclidean distances between reference points are used as evaluation criteria, which are used in the context of applying the four most well-known recognition methods: the amplitude method (the trivial Euclid method), the DDTW method using the values of the first derivatives, and methods based on the Wavelet transform and the Fourier transform.

Authors: Kusuma Guntur Prabawa , Kurniati Angelina Prima , Hafidz Firdaus , Johnson Owen Ashby
Published: August 2023

Indonesia has become one of the countries having the biggest single-payer national insurance with a population-based membership. The insurance had helped up to 217 million patients since its inception in 2014. Capturing insights from a large-scale electronic health record has the potential to give a valuable improvement to the health care processes quality. Process mining is an emerging approach to “bridge” between the domain of data science and process science. It has also been recognized to contribute to the domain of health care where complex and multi-discipline processes are happening. The BPJS Kesehatan data containing routinely collected medical records becomes a valuable source of knowledge to improve the quality of health care. In contrast to its benefits, exploiting and managing population-based health care data for research brings challenges and potential. This paper presents the challenges of conducting process mining projects in the perspective of diversity, data quality, ethics, and security. Process mining in health care also brings potentials in care process comparisons, precision medicine, audit and compliance, and the opportunities of using virtual research environment to conduct research using a population-based data set based on unique characteristics of human biology.

Published: August 2023

According to the interview results with the headmaster of Autism Pelita Hafidzh Bandung Special School, children with intellectual disabilities have learning limitations, including difficulty remembering, quickly forgetting, being distracted, having little interest, and IQ below the average of normal children. Therefore, the innovation of the MARGA game, an acronym for Multimedia Embedded Rig for Guided Assistant, was created using tangible interaction to assist these children in learning about animals. Technical testing was conducted twice, namely testing the suitability of tags and the speed of tag reading time, resulting in an average speed of reading RFID tags of 2,653 seconds. In addition to conducting beta testing on two children with intellectual disabilities at Autism Pelita Hafidzh Bandung Special School. Research shows that children with intellectual disabilities who have tried playing MARGA reach the learning target set by Autism Pelita Hafidzh Bandung Special School more quickly.
Numerical and Experimental Study of an Aircraft Igniter Plasma Jet Discharge
Authors: Tang Yihao , Kim Joohan , Sforzo Brandon , Scarcelli Riccardo , Raman Venkat
Published: August 2023

The spark discharge of an aircraft plasma jet igniter is studied using high-fidelity numerical simulations and X-ray radiography measurements. The target problem here features the thermal expansion of hot gas introduced by the electric spark within a confined igniter cavity, which eventually evolves into a pulsed jet of a high-temperature kernel. A comprehensive set of models adapted from existing strategies for internal combustion engine spark plug discharge is extended to the target problem, including the modeling of energy deposition, plasma reactions, thermodynamic properties, and heat losses. A series of validation and parameter studies are performed and presented. The kernel size is found to be sensitive to heat losses arising from radiation and hot gas remained within the discharge cavity, rather than heat conduction to the wall in the discharge cavity. Depending on the enforced shape of the post-breakdown electric arc, the spark kernel can be off-centered, tilted, and considerably asymmetric. These features have been previously not considered when studying such igniter configurations and may have a first-order impact on the ignition process. Provided a proper setup of the heat loss models and electric arc shape, the numerical results are quantitatively comparable to the experimental results in terms of the kernel size, shape, and velocity throughout different stages after the spark discharge.
Summary of the 4th High-Lift Prediction Workshop Hybrid RANS/LES Technology Focus Group
Authors: Ashton Neil , Batten Paul , Cary Andrew , Holst Kevin
Published: August 2023

This paper summarizes the collective efforts of multiple teams that contributed to the hybrid RANS/LES technical focus group for the 4th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HLPW-4), which took place on January 7, 2022, in San Diego, California. The overall conclusion is that turbulence-resolving methods such as hybrid RANS/LES (HRLES) do offer improved predictions for these high-lift geometries, with respect to the underlying RANS models, but there are nuances, and some unresolved issues remain that should be the focus of future work. In particular, while HRLES methods appear to show clearly improved predictions at higher angles of attack, there is some tendency for HRLES methods to return slightly worse moment predictions at lower angles of attack, suggesting that prediction of the shallow separation from the flaps might need further research. Computing cost also remains a significant issue, with HRLES methods requiring roughly nine times more high-performance computing central processing unit core hours than steady-state RANS methods, indicating that future algorithmic and computational optimization could be beneficial. Finally, there are strong indications that modeling the wind tunnel has a positive impact on correlation with experimental measurements, suggesting that future work might be better focused on in-tunnel simulations.
Scalable Projection-Based Reduced-Order Models for Large Multiscale Fluid Systems
Authors: Wentland Christopher R. , Duraisamy Karthik , Huang Cheng
Published: August 2023

Although projection-based reduced-order models (PROMs) have existed for decades, they have rarely been applied to large, nonlinear, multiscale, and multi-physics systems due to the complexity of effectively implementing such methods. Advances in hyper-reduction have enabled the scalable computation of PROMs for general nonlinear dynamical systems. Further, the recent model-form-preserving least squares with variable transformation method has proven capable of generating stable PROMs for extremely stiff multiphysics problems. In this work, we formulate a PROM framework combining these methodologies and demonstrate that robust, accurate, and cost-effective PROMs can be realized for complex nonreacting and reacting compressible flows. Along with an open-source toolchain for hyper-reduction sample mesh generation from extremely large data sets, this represents an end-to-end effort to assess the applicability of PROMs to large-scale, multiphysics problems of engineering interest. We examine practical considerations for implementing hyper-reduction methods and their effect on memory consumption, load balancing, and interprocessor communications. These considerations produce accurate PROMs that are three to four orders of magnitude more computationally efficient than the full-order model in recreating transonic flow over a cavity and reacting flow in a rocket combustor. Guidelines for data preparation, sample mesh construction, and online PROM solution which promote robust simulations are also provided.

Authors: Lisitsa V. N.
Published: August 2023

The article highlights the main civil law means and their role in the mechanism of legal regulation of investment relations. It is argued that the leading role is played by a civil law obligation to invest, which usually arises as a result of the conclusion of an investment contract. Other legal means are designed to ensure the proper emergence and development of such an obligation. It is concluded that the current investment legislation of the Russian Federation consisting of numerous special federal laws should be systematized throughout the unification of their general provisions in one legislative act and filling it with the new content aimed at the development of civil law provisions on investors’ guarantees for the implementation of investment activities.

Understanding the environmental impacts of large-scale cellulose nanocrystals production: Case studies in regions dependent on renewable and fossil fuel energy sources
Authors: Hao Zhimian , Hamad Wadood , Yaseneva Polina
Published: August 2023

Favorable functional properties of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in several end-use application areas, as well as its ‘green’ credential as a bio-based material stimulate significant interest in scaling up the manufacture of CNCs. As in any other process, there exist several design options for the overall process and decisions on adoption of a specific plant configuration should be based on economic as well as environmental data, preferably from the life cycle assessment perspective. In this study we establish a benchmark LCA study of a conceptual large-scale CNC manufacturing process based on sulfuric acid hydrolysis. We then use the benchmark process model to explore several plant configuration scenarios and sensitivity of optimal plant configurations to energy mix of different regions. Results of LCA study suggest the optimal plant configuration to include partial recycle of sulfuric acid, which allows to attain the minimum cradle-to-gate environmental impacts. This study provides benchmark figures of LCA impacts of CNC manufacture, which could be used for the assessment of carbon footprint and other environmental metrics of final products manufactured from CNCs.

Published: August 2023

Soft polymer nanocapsules and microgels, which can adapt their shape and at the same time sequester and release molecular payloads in response to an external trigger, are a challenging complement to vesicular structures like polymersomes. In this work we report the synthesis of such capsules by photocrosslinking of coumarin-substituted polyglycidyl ethers, which we prepared by Williamson etherification of epichlorohydrin (ECH) repeating units with 7-hydroxycoumarin in copolymers with tert-butyl glycidyl ether (tBGE). To control capsule size, we employed the prepolymers in an o/w miniemulsion, where they formed a gel layer at the interface upon irradiation at 365 nm by [2π+2π] photodimerization of the coumarin groups. Upon irradiation at 245 nm, the reaction could be reversed and the gel wall could be repeatedly disintegrated and rebuilt. We further demonstrated (i) reversible hydrophilization of the gels by hydrolysis of the lactone rings in coumarin dimers as a mechanism to manipulate the permeability of the capsules, and (ii) binding functional molecules as amides. Together with the possibility to hydrolyze the tert-butyl ether group we demonstrate a remarkable versatility of such nanogels for their use as a carrier system.
Quantum Control of Nonlinear Dynamics in Confined Systems
Authors: Johny Vinitha , Ghosh Siddharth
Published: August 2023

Investigating the intricacies of confined nonlinear dynamics presents formidable challenges, primarily due to the unpredictable behaviour of molecular constituents. This study introduces a promising avenue for comprehending and harnessing nonlinear dynamics within constrained domains, with broad applications spanning fields like nanofluidics and astrophysics. Quantum-level control emerges as a powerful tool, enabling the manipulation of classical systems to achieve specific outcomes, including quantum control of fluidic behaviour at the nanoscale for application in actuation in nanofluidics. Of particular significance is the observation of an asymptotic function that describes soliton behaviour within a transformed mathematical framework, shedding light on the practical implications of abstract representations. Solitons, known to vanish mathematically, exhibit intriguing transformations over time, influenced by phase gradients. Soliton formations, tracked from 1 ns to 83 ns, reveal dynamic transformations, evolving from their initial state with intriguing variations in amplitude and phase angle. These solitons, under the influence of subtle phase gradients, transition towards states characterised by reduced amplitude and expanded spatial extent. The ability to exercise quantum control over nanoscale fluidic behaviours beckons novel applications, notably in nanofluidic actuation. These findings hold the potential to revolutionise the efficiency of quantum computing in addressing nonlinear differential equations, offering new opportunities for precision-driven progress across scientific disciplines.
Database Assembly for Peptide Mass Fingerprinting
Authors: Pabst Ulrich
Published: August 2023

The idea of peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) was first introduced in 1989, when protein research was facing a serious issue with automated Edman-degradation taking nearly one hour per reaction cycle. There was a dire need for more streamlined and fast ways to analyse proteins and peptides. Since the first steps towards such rapid analysis were made using FAB-MS and a relatively simple computer program called FRAGFIT, followed by the consecutive introduction of peptide mass fingerprinting as a simple yet effective tool to quickly identify frequently observed proteins in electrophoresis gels, PMF has developed to become the foundation of modern proteomics research and paved the way for many more high-throughput techniques, including shotgun proteomics and other bottom-up workflows.
POMFinder: Identifying polyoxometalate cluster structures from pair distribution function data using explainable machine learning

Published: August 2023

Characterisation of material structure with Pair Distribution Function (PDF) analysis typically involves refining a structure model against an experimental dataset. However, finding or constructing a suitable atomic model for PDF modelling can be an extremely labour-intensive task, requiring carefully browsing through large numbers of possible models. We present POMFinder, a machine learning (ML) classifier that rapidly screens a database of structures, here polyoxometalate (POM) clusters, to identify candidate structures for PDF data modelling. The approach is demonstrated to identify suitable POMs on experimental data, including in situ data collected with fast acquisition time. This automated approach shows significant potential for identifying suitable structure models for structure refinements to extract quantitative, structural parameters in materials chemistry research. The code is open source and user-friendly, making it accessible to those without prior ML knowledge. We also demonstrate that POMFinder offers a promising modelling framework for combined modelling of multiple scattering techniques compared to conventional refinement methods.
The Chemical Bond in the Di-Atomics, HX, where X = F,O,N,C,B,Be: Orbital Exchange Calculations
Authors: Merrithew Paul
Published: August 2023

This paper extends orbital exchange method calculations to include the series of di-atomic molecules, HX, where X = F,O,N,C,B,Be. In these molecules the hydrogen (H) can bond as both spin up and spin down with the two sigma electrons on X, thereby increasing the extent of bonding versus the normal single bond. The F,O,N and C of the HX molecules exhibit an [HX,H+X-] sigma resonance with the species in (0.75,0.25) proportion. The impact of this sigma resonance, in conjunction with the H spin up/down character, on the orbital overlaps and the bond energy is quantified. The molecules HB and HBe, while not showing resonance, do exhibit parallel bonding (1.5 bonds) resulting from the H spin up/down characteristic. The bond length results for the F,O,N,C and Be molecules are generally within 0.005 Angstrom units of experiment. Dipole moments, that have been measured for the F,O,N and C molecules, are within 0.03 Debye of experiment. Bond energies are accurate to 0.1 electron volt. Precise bond energies are not obtained because of the difficulty in precisely defining the H orthogonalization parameters.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer still lacking effective treatment options. Chemotherapy in combination with immunotherapy can restrict tumor progression and repolarize the tumor microenvironment towards an anti-tumor milieu, improving clinical outcome in TNBC patients. The chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel had been shown to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), whereas inhibitors of the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), whose expression is shared in immune regulatory and tumor cells, have been revealed to enhance the anti-tumor immune response. However, poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetic, off-target effects and hurdles in achieving therapeutic drug concentrations at the target tissue often limit the effectiveness of combination therapies. This work describes the development of novel biomimetic and carrier-free nanobinders (NB) loaded with both paclitaxel and the IDO1 inhibitor NLG919 in the form of bioresponsive prodrugs, and capable of hijacking human serum albumin (HSA). A fine tuning of the preparation conditions allowed to identify NB@5 as the best-performing prodrugs-based nanoformulation. Our data show that NB@5 effectively binds with HSA, demonstrating its protective role in the controlled release of drugs in vitro and suggesting that NB could exploit the protein as the endogenous vehicle for targeted delivery to the tumor site. Our study successfully demonstrates that the drugs encapsulated within the nanobinders are preferentially released under the altered redox conditions commonly found in the tumor microenvironment, thereby inducing cell death, promoting ICD, and inhibiting IDO1. This study highlights the potential of prodrugs-based nanobinders as a promising avenue for the targeted chemoimmunotherapy of TNBC.
Colonial Continuities in Independent Mauritius: Parliamentary Democracy, The British Crown, and State Repression
Authors: Sarah Gray
Published: August 2023

This article generates a fresh perspective on notions of colonial continuity broadly and Mauritian governance specifically. I argue that Mauritius’ immediate postcolonial governance was characterised by colonial continuity rather than rupture through three core examples: first, the government’s maintenance of a constitution negotiated under imperialism that reinforced colonially defined community divisions and also gave successive Mauritian elites an advantage in electoral processes; second, the political elite’s open allegiance to British structures of power through overt celebrations of the British monarchy and parliamentary democracy; third, the reliance of postcolonial elites on old and new legislation that reproduced the repressive conditions of the colonial period. Together these examples historicise Mauritian governance to highlight some of the lingering legacies of colonialism and how elites chose to embrace rather than reform them.

Blended learning is a technique that combines in-person instruction with online learning. As a result, the students' futures become a yardstick for the teachers' knowledge during a lesson. Thus, this study aims to investigate the perception of culinary arts educators' readiness to implement blended learning in teaching and learning processes. The research was conducted using a quantitative survey method, and the participants were 63 culinary arts educators from various institutions in Johor, Malaysia. This study's design is a descriptive survey that employs a quantitative strategy via a questionnaire as a research tool. Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 was used to analyze the data in both a descriptive and inferential manner. The mean, standard deviations, and Paired Sample T-Test coefficient tests were used to report the study's findings. The survey instrument used in this study was adapted from previous research and was focused on four main dimensions of readiness to implement blended learning: technology, classroom, teaching personnel, and student. The findings of this study suggest that culinary arts educators have a positive perception of their readiness to implement blended learning in their teaching and learning processes and to use face-to-face and online blended learning. Additionally, the study found that there is a significant difference between the perception of the readiness of teaching staff in the field of culinary arts when implementing face-to-face and online blended learning. The implications of this study suggest that institutions should focus on providing more support and resources for educators to improve their organizational readiness for blended learning implementation. Moreover, institutions should consider providing professional development opportunities to help educators gain the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively implement blended learning in their teaching and learning processes. Overall, the study's findings can give an overview of how prepared culinary arts educators are to apply blended learning that combines face-to-face with online instruction.

Industry-based curriculum in the context of vocational colleges is constantly changing to meet current industry needs. This process of change undoubtedly has a positive effect on the implementation of effective teaching and learning. However, this process also poses challenges in implementation, especially among lecturers. Therefore, this paper discusses curriculum changes in the context of Vocational Colleges by focusing on the effects and suggestions for improvement on effective curriculum implementation practices. In short, the level of readiness of lecturers in facing curriculum changes becomes a question and the ability of vocational colleges as study centers to face changes also becomes a big challenge to effective curriculum implementation. In addition, the workload of lecturers increases with the task of managing accreditation and recognition of professional bodies. Furthermore, the lecturer's skill level is still at a moderate level which is at least level three of the Malaysian Skills Certificate. Among the advantages of KV curriculum changes is the development of the latest curriculum according to industry progress and the graduates produced by KV also have the latest knowledge and skills according to industry requirements. In addition, KV lecturers are also always able to improve their skills and knowledge in line with curriculum changes. However, there is also a weakness in the result of curriculum change, which is when it involves vulnerable groups who resist change, where lecturers will feel pressured by changes that are too frequent. Therefore, several strategies are proposed to improve the effect of curriculum changes such as creating special staff for accreditation management and rearranging the division of KV lecturers' duties so that lecturers can face any changes effectively. In conclusion, curriculum changes will have positive and negative effects on all parties, especially lecturers as change agents.

Nowadays, the use of digital is important in meeting the technological needs of the industrial revolution 4.0. The manual HIRARC form is less effective and efficient in terms of filling time. Based on observations, the manual use of the safety log book requires the supervisor to update the content every time. This shows that, filling information physically causes the risk of losing data that has been entered is very high and affects the effectiveness of safety management in the workplace. Therefore, the first objective of this study is to build a security management application and the second objective is to identify the effectiveness of using the application. This application is developed by combining two software namely glides and google sheet. While the second objective instrument is in the form of a likert-scale questionnaire on the effectiveness of using the application to respondents who are workplace users, namely students and lecturers as well as the management of the Occupational Safety and Health Committee and workshop supervisors. The results of the study show that two applications have been built, namely the Integrated Safety Management Application managed by the department management and the Safety Logbook Application used by users at the workplace, ie in the workshop or laboratory where they are combined in an integrated network which is integration and PDCA. While the results of the questionnaire show that the overall mean score is at a high level where this application can facilitate accident complaints to make reports to superiors better by workplace users. In conclusion, this application is flexible and dynamic in use, easy to maintain and suitable for use by organizations or users of different workplaces.

Approaching Video Game Translation Using Localisation and Modernising Theories A Multimodal Applied Translation Project
Authors: Bishton Felicity
Published: August 2023

For this project I am translating a video game from German to English. To begin this project I had to decide on which video game to translate, this involved trying to find a game that was older and as well as not a huge mainstream games as many mainstream or current video games originally created in German have already been translated into English as well as many other languages. As well as this an older game is necessary to explore ideas of modernisation as well as localisation. It also had to be a game that had some story, with written dialogue and less mechanical or fighter or platformer type games. On top of this the game would have to be rather short if intending to translate the entire game script for the project. After trying many different types of German games, I discovered an older game from 2003 called “Wendy: Der Traum von Arizona” for the Gameboy Colour. This game has many different characters, dialogue, small world exploring and tells a short story. You play as a young girl called Wendy. She and her friend Bianca are dreaming of going on a horse-riding holiday in Arizona. To get the money to afford to go, Wendy has to win horse tournaments.

State Relations, Media, and the Power of Civil Society after the fall of The New Order Regime in Indonesia
Authors: Hady Nuruddin , Ibrahim Mohd Hairy Bin
Published: August 2023

The role of civil society power in the history of reform in Indonesia cannot be underestimated because the economic crisis did not solely cause the fall of Suharto's New Order regime. Still, the role of civil society forces was very large and well consolidated. This study used qualitative research. The theory used is the theory of power relations. The results of the study found that in the era of Soeharto's New Order, the relationship between the state and civil society was still not seen to play its role; it can even be said that the existence of civil society was very weak and weakened by the regime, although at the end of the New Order, civil society was well consolidated which eventually gave birth to the reform movement and was able to overthrow Suharto's regime. The results also found that, after the reformation in Indonesia, the civil society movement experienced a golden age at the beginning of the reform because the position of civil society was quite strong and well consolidated in overseeing the course of the democratic system. However, in recent years civil society movements have stagnated and even seem weakened because they are in the circle of power.

This study investigates the experimental parameters of particle image velocimetry (PIV) to enhance the measurement technique for turbulent flow fields around a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number (Re) of 1.4×105. At the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO), we utilized the cavitation tunnel and PIV system to capture the instantaneous flow fields and statistically obtained the mean flow fields. An aspect ratio and blockage ratio of 16.7% and 6.0%, respectively, were considered to minimize the tunnel wall effect on the cylinder wakes. The optimal values of the pulse time and the number of flow fields were determined by comparing the contours of mean streamlines, velocities, Reynolds shear stresses, and turbulent kinetic energy under their different values to ensure accurate and converged results. Based on the findings, we recommend a pulse time of 45 μs corresponding to a particle moving time of 3–4 pixels, and at least 3,000 instantaneous flow fields to accurately obtain the mean flow fields. The results of the present study agree well with those of previous studies that examined the end of the subcritical flow regime.
