Published: October 2024

The increase in the traffic of people in and out of the territory of Indonesia is increasing, the threat of crimes that will be committed by foreigners cannot be denied. Foreign Guarantor has an important role in dealing with these threats, so law enforcement must be considered. The DNH case is an example of a case that occurred at the Class I Immigration Office of TPI Cirebon, which is an Australian WTH guarantor who is suspected of abusing his authority as a WTH guarantor. The formulation of the problem consists of What are the factors influencing the implementation of Article 116 of the Immigration Law?; Why is the Guarantor not taken legal action?; What legal remedies can the Cirebon Immigration Office take in the case of WTH and DNH? Normative-empirical legal research using statutory instruments related to Foreign Guarantor and Investigation which is then analyzed with facts in the field. Law enforcement against WTH by investigators has been effective in accordance with the provisions of Articles 71 and 116 of the Immigration Law. DNH has not taken any legal action so that law enforcement needs to be improved. Legal efforts that can be made to the Guarantor are conducting an investigation so that it can be seen that the sanctions that can be given are criminal or administrative, administrative sanctions need to be reviewed.

Published: October 2024

Dalam menghadapi era keterbukaan di berbagai bidang, aspek kedaulatan dianggap menjadi benteng lapis pertama yang menentukan ketahanan nasional dan stabilitas negara. Semakin berdaulat suatu negara, maka terdapat berbagai konsekuensi logis yang harus dihadapi, baik dalam tahap penguatan kebijakan maupun produk yuridisnya. Problematika terkait penanganan pengungsi internasional menjadi pembahasan yang dilematis bila ditinjau dari dasar hukum yang mengikatnya dan juga dengan adanya sikap politik luar negeri Indonesia yang tidak meratifikasi konvensi 1951 dan protokol 1967 terkait pengungsi. Setidaknya terdapat 145 negara yang menandatangani konvensi dan 146 negara yang menandatangani protokol tersebut sebagai intrumen hukum nasional. Adapun pertimbangan logis yang mendasari sikap Indonesia untuk tidak meratifikasi kedua instrumen hukum internasional tersebut sebagai urgensi yang harus diselesaikan. Kendati penanganan isu pengungsi pernah masuk ke dalam pembahasan Rencana Aksi Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia (RANHAM), tetapi pada periode 2021-2025 ini arah political will lembaga legislatif mengisyaratkan bahwa urgensi terkait penanganan pengungsi tidak menjadi kajian yang harus diprioritaskan. Artikel ini akan meninjau aspek kedaulatan negara dalam merespons potensi pelanggaran hukum dari perspektif keimigrasian, yang tentunya beririsan dengan sikap moral Indonesia selaku negara transit bagi pengungsi sebelum adanya pemberlakuan pemukiman kembali (resettlement) ke negara ketiga yang menampung para pengungsi.

Authors: Lebedenko I. M. , Kudashkina Yu. A. , Krylova T. A. , Zhurov Yu. V.
Published: October 2024

Purpose: Consideration the fundamental possibility of forming non uniform irradiation fields (grid diaphragm) using a multi-leaf collimator of an electron accelerator during radiotherapy of cancer patients.
Material and methods: The Eclipse planning system was used to model the lattice diaphragm and carry out the corresponding calculations. The tested dosimetric characteristics for open fields of the Clinac iX series accelerators were used as the initial dosimetric data for calculating irradiation plans. Calculation of irradiation plans for the grid diaphragm was carried out in a tissue-equivalent phantom for photon radiation with a nominal energy of 6 MeV.
Conclusion: The fundamental and practical possibility of implementing a grating diaphragm formed using a multi-leaf collimator of the electron accelerator of the Clinac iX series (Varian) is shown. A series of dosimetric characteristics of the lattice diaphragm is designed for the Eclipse joint venture. These are depth dose distributions under open and closed areas, dose distribution profiles, dose field lines and dose unevenness coefficients under closed areas between two and four holes. The results obtained can be used as a basis for planning and irradiating patients with a common process with a lattice diaphragm formed using a multileaf collimator.

Published: October 2024

Purpose: Analysis of potential collisions of elements of the therapeutic complex with the patient on the basis of linear electron accelerator (LEA) using the system of virtual visualization of radiation therapy (VVLT).
Material and methods: The research was conducted in the system of virtual visualization of radiation therapy, in which the acceptable positions of the elements of the LEA complex (position of the head part of the LEA at a certain gantry angle and of the therapy table) that do not lead to patient collision were evaluated. The system is a simulation software for radiotherapy procedures. Seven models of therapeutic LEAs (manufacturers Varian, Elekta and Siemens) and 4 patient models of different localizations (prostate tumor, lung tumor, breast tumor, head and neck tumor) with an appropriate set of immobilizing devices were selected for the analysis.
Results: The results are presented in the form of graphs of the critical value of the gantry rotation angle at different transverse and vertical displacements of the therapy table for each localization. In the case of lung cancer, it was found that a transverse displacement of the table by 10 cm from the initial position (the position at which the patient model was centered relative to the isocenter of the LEA) resulted in a 15° difference in the gantry rotation angles at which collisions occur. Collisions occur at 90° on Elekta LEA, on Varian CX and iX at 96°, and on Varian TrueBeam at 105°. When the table height is increased by 10 cm, the difference increases to 20° with the same statistics for the transversal bias between linear accelerators. In general, increasing the lateral offset or table elevation results in a reduced range of gantry rotation before collision for all LEA models.
Conclusion: Based on experimental simulation using the VVLT system, the values of the critical gantry rotation angle at transverse and vertical displacements of the therapy table were obtained. The obtained results can be used to develop collision prevention algorithms, thus improving the safety of radiation therapy procedures, allowing more accurate prediction and avoidance of possible obstacles during treatment.

Authors: Narkevich B. Ya. , Ryzhov S. A. , Geliashvili T. M. , Smirnov G. Yu.
Published: October 2024

Relevance: In accordance with domestic regulatory documents for the management of medical liquid radioactive waste (LRW), in the units of radionuclide therapy (RNT) all LRW through special sewerage enter storage tanks, where they are kept for radioactive decay. Upon reaching the established standard for specific radioactivity, the accumulated LRW are discharged into the domestic sewerage system. However, due to the specificity of medical LRW with several different radionuclides, determining the optimal exposure time is a difficult task.
Purpose: Analysis of existing and development of new technologies for managing the removal of liquid LRW in the subdivisions of the RNT of medical institutions.
Material and methods: The advantages and disadvantages of the existing technology for determining the holding time of liquid radioactive waste in a storage tank based on the results of radiometry of periodically taken samples of liquid radioactive waste are considered. It is shown that it does not meet the requirements of reducing labor intensity and ensuring radiation safety of personnel of the RNT division. Six new technologies for managing the removal of liquid radioactive waste have been proposed, of which the recommended method for practice is based on a single dosimetry of γ-radiation from a filled tank with subsequent calculation of the exposure time to determine the moment of timely discharge of disintegrated liquid radioactive waste into the domestic sewerage system.
Results: Using the proposed technology, the optimal moment for discharging the contents from the tank with liquid radioactive waste accumulated in it, which is radiopharmaceuticals labeled with 131I, 153Sm, 177Lu, removed from the body of patients, was determined. It is shown that the obtained dwell time value is significantly less than those established in the design documentation and in the protocol of the institution's radiation safety service.
Conclusion: The developed method for controlling the removal of liquid radioactive waste is characterized by an accuracy acceptable for radiation-hygienic purposes while ensuring simplicity and low labor intensity of its practical application in RNT departments of domestic medical institutions
Discourse Analysis Techniques: A Critical Tool for Reading Comprehension
Authors: Albatool Abalkheel
Published: October 2024

This study explores the integration of Discourse Analysis (DA) into English reading instruction in higher education to enhance reading comprehension skills among students. Recognizing the limited effectiveness of traditional teaching methods, which primarily focus on grammatical structure and vocabulary memorization, this research advocates for a pedagogical shift towards teaching strategies that incorporate DA for deeper textual engagement and interpretation. DA enables students to move beyond the surface textual features towards critical engagement with the text, fostering higher-order cognitive skills like analysis and synthesis. The research uses a qualitative paradigm that employs Critical Discourse Analysis to investigate the relationship between the text and the reader in an educational context. The study has shown that DA enables students to interpret complex academic texts, thus making their academic work easier and preparing them for professional challenges. This is also said to enhance academic performance, which the study also recorded as a dramatic improvement in the critical and analytical skills required of students to handle the complexities of global communication. The findings of this study direct toward the fact that DA must be integrated by the curriculum designers and educators within the teaching practices to adhere to the contemporary needs of education. This would help the students to develop cognitively and with the required skills to handle the texts in academic and professional life. The integration of CDA with English reading instruction emphasizes a change approach toward transformation in language education, which is dynamic and interactive beyond the traditional paradigm.

It was aimed to isolate Escherichia coli from infected trouts in different farms, and to investigate antibiotic susceptibility profiles and antibiotic resistance genes of these isolates. Identification processes were carried out according to ISO 6887–3:2017 and ISO 16654:2001 guidelines. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Extended–spectrum beta–lactamase (ESBL) resistant strains were investigated by the Modified Double Disc Synergy Test (MDDST) method. The specific regions of 15 genes were analyzed by the real–time PCR system. As a result, 24 isolations were performed from different tissues belonging to eight out of 108 diseased trouts. The highest phenotypical resistance status was found against penicillins (ampicillin 100%, amoxicillin 91.67%) and first–generation cephalosporins (cefazolin 100%). Phenotypic resistance rates of amoxicillin–clavulanate, nalidixic acid, and erythromycin were 83,33%, tetracycline was 75%, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefepime, and ciprofloxacin were 66,67%, trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole was 50%, and chloramphenicol and gentamycin were 33.33%. Phenotypical resistances for amikacin and imipenem were detected at the level of 16.67%. In addition, ESBL production was detected phenotypically in 12 (50%) out of 24 E. coli isolates. The highest antimicrobial resistance gene rate was 58.33% for tetA. Gene regions of sull, ermB, ermF, qnrB, suIll, qnrS, and tetB were detected at 50%, 50%, 50%, 33.33%, 25%, 16.67%, and 16.67% respectively. None of the isolates included the gene region of the qnrA, qnrC, qnrD, and qepA. ESBL–producing genes, blaTEM, blaCTX, and blaSHV were detected at 33.33%, 33.33%, and 16.67% respectively. In conclusion, E. coli contamination of the water can cause infections among fish and increase the agent’s antimicrobial resistance. Resistant strains of E. coli cannot only cause financial damage to create yield loss but also can threaten human health by causing infections throughout the food chain.

Published: October 2024

The application of the fuzzy method and the analytic hierarchy process is compared when conducting an expert survey. Experts are surveyed using the pairwise comparison matrix of a Stanine scale. Correspondence between the two methods is achieved by two ways of correlating scores on the basis of the scales they use. The research assesses the consistency of the results obtained by these methods for each expert and the entire group. For this purpose, the coefficient of concordance is used which is most commonly used in various problems,. It also assesses the consistency of expert opinions the resultant value of which is quite low due to the personal preferences of the respondents. However, a good consistency in the results obtained by both methods is demonstrated both for each expert and for the entire group.

CVT AND RETARDER FOR TRUCKS
Authors:   Lipetsk State Technical University, SUKHANOV A.V. , SUKHANOV A.V. ,   Lipetsk State Technical University
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a description of the variator’s design and operating principle which can be used to transmit torque and to slow down the shaft rotation speed. It will be expedient to use the proposed mechanical retarder to operate vehicles (mainly trucks and buses, as well as trains) in mountains on long descents. The article describes in detail the design of the proposed variator and retarder for trucks. The currently existing hydraulic and electromagnetic retarders have a significant drawback – they overheat during operation. The problem can be solved via a new technology when a mechanical retarder creates a braking torque by creating a gyroscopic moment on a rotating disk. The new technology allows the truck to brake without heating the retarder, so there is no cooling radiator in its design. The advantages of the described variator design are the ability to regulate the driven shaft rotation speed depending on the driven shaft resistive torque value, high efficiency of the device, low heat losses, as well as high reliability and durability of the device.
Rozwój obszarów wiejskich objętych Siecią Ekologiczną Natura 2000
Authors: Kłodziński Marek
Published: October 2024

Europejska Sieć Ekologiczna Natura 2000 zajmuje już w Polsce 20% powierzchni kraju. Nowe przepisy prawne, chroniące zagrożone wyginięciem gatunki roślin i zwierząt, powodują ograniczenia dla działalności gospodarczej na tych obszarach. Fakt ten, jak również błędy popełnione przy zbyt arbitralnym wytyczaniu granic sieci, słaba komunikacja społeczna z lokalną ludnością, brak ośrodków rekompensujących utracone korzyści gminom powodują, że wiele samorządów gminnych postrzega w sieci Natura 2000 czynnik hamujący rozwój. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że w Polsce został stworzony zbyt skomplikowany, rygorystyczny i drogi system ochrony tych terenów. Pryncypialne podejście do ochrony przyrody jest nieraz konieczne, ale tam gdzie można, należy uwzględnić uwarunkowania społeczno-gospodarcze terenów wiejskich objętych Europejską Siecią Ekologiczną Natura 2000. Szansą na złagodzenie dotychczas popełnionych błędów są obecnie tworzone plany zadań ochronnych, które powinny uwzględniać interes lokalnych społeczności.

W artykule pokrótce przedstawiono genezę i ewolucję płatności bezpośrednich jako instrumentu wspólnej polityki rolnej oraz wpływ przeprowadzonych reform wsparcia bezpośredniego na elastyczność sektora rolnego w zakresie reagowania na zmiany w wielkości i strukturze popytu na produkty rolne. Następnie dokonano przeglądu stosowanych w Unii Europejskiej systemów i modeli płatności bezpośrednich oraz analizy wsparcia bezpośredniego, mającej na celu zidentyfikowanie tych jego elementów, które różnicują warunki konkurencji na wspólnym rynku. Stwierdzono, że unifikacja systemów wsparcia bezpośredniego ułatwiłaby korzystne, z punktu widzenia racjonalności wykorzystania czynników wytwórczych, dostosowania w zakresie przestrzennego rozmieszczenia produkcji rolnej w Unii Europejskiej.

Mass occurrences of Sandeels (Ammodytes spp.) causing aggregations of diving ducks
Authors: Frengen Otto , Thingstad Per Gustav
Published: October 2024

In autumn 1999, large, compact flocks of foraging diving ducks, particularly Common Eiders Somateria mollissima, were observed within and at the mouth of Trondheimsfjord in Central Norway. Some of these aggregations were at places previously not known as particularly rich feeding grounds. This situation continued through the winter, and still existed in March 2000. Investigations on these feeding grounds showed that the only possible prey species occurring in significant quantities was Sandeel (only Ammodytes tobianus was verified). Although most of the fish were swallowed before the birds reached the surface, some ducks (including Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca and Goldeneye Bucephala clangula) were observed eating Sandeels. Sandeel populations fluctuate in size annually and shoals are very patchily distributed. Consequently, the very variable occurrence in time and space of this food resource may occasionally bring about unusually dense and patchy aggregations of various species of diving ducks. Due to the specific habitat requirements of the Sandeel, these aggregations may also occur at localities that are not generally preferred feeding grounds for diving ducks, as was the case here. These findings may be relevant for some monitoring projects involving populations of diving ducks in marine environments.
Haliphron atlanticum (Cephalopoda, Alloposidae) caught in Skjørafjorden (64°N), Norway
Authors: Bakken Torkild , Holthe Torleif

In late autumn 2000 a large female specimen of the alloposid cephalopod Haliphron atlanticum Steenstrup, 1861 was caught at approximately 100 m depth in a fjord in central Norway. This is the fourth record from Norwegian waters. Despite only a few records from northern areas, the four specimens reported in Norwegian waters suggest that H. atlanticum have a more northerly distribution than previous records should indicate.
Predation of eggs and incubating females in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus

Nest predation is a major cause of reproductive loss in many ground-nesting birds. During 15 consecutive years the predation of nests and females throughout the incubation season were recorded in a willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus population in central Norway. The temporal predation patterns, factors affecting the predation probability and age-specific nesting patterns in this species were studied. There was a large annual variation in predation rate of both nests (0-50%) and incubating females (0-29%) in this area during the study period. The mean annual predation rate of nests (15%) was on average three times higher than the predation of incubating willow ptarmigan females (5%). Predation rate was not constant throughout the incubation season, and the nest predation rate increased with increasing number of available nests. The predation events started after the mean initiation day of incubation, and coincided with the highest number of available nests. None of the parameters we tested in a logistic regression analysis (physical condition, nest cover, experience and date for initiation of egg-laying) could predict the predation probability of nests and incubating females. However, “good” nest cover tended to have some predictive value on the predation probability. Yearling incubating females had significantly lower physical body condition than adults, and also there were differences in choice of nest site in relation to cover between the two age groups. Initiation of egg-laying in adult females tended to be distributed more evenly over the season, whereas yearling females had a more aggregated egg-laying pattern, compared to adults.
A critical review of the microcosm method in soil animal ecology
Authors: Edsberg Einar
Published: October 2024

The microcosm method is widely used in research on soil animal ecology because it allows for controlled manipulations of fauna, climate, and soil properties. However, differences in biotic and abiotic conditions between the microcosm and the natural soil ecosystem it is intended to represent may bias the experimental results. On the basis of literature, potential influences of the following factors were discussed: (1) Microcosm volume and duration of the incubation period. (2) Preparation of the microcosm substrate, with emphasis on the choice between homogenised substrate and intact soil cores. (3) Incubation conditions (moisture, temperature and drainage). (4) Biotic diversity in the microcosm soil, with emphasis on (a) the general problem of low biodiversity in microcosms, (b) the unnatural situation in microcosms without plants, (c) differences in microflora composition between “faunal” and “non-faunal” treatments, and (d) relative densities of the organisms present. Possible ways of dealing with a few of these problems were also discussed.
The rise and fall of cliff-breeding seabirds in Sør-Varanger, NE Norway, 1970-2002
Authors: Barrett Robert T.
Published: October 2024

Surveys of seabirds breeding along the coast of Sør-Varanger, NE Norway were carried out in 1989, 1996, 1999 and 2002 as a continuation of a monitoring study started in 1970. Until 1983, by which time 47 colonies were occupied, there had been a rapid increase in numbers of Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla and European Shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis breeding in the area while the Great Cormorant P. carbo population had first increased and then declined. Between 1983 and 2002, the Kittiwake and Shag populations declined by ca. 60% and 85% respectively while that of Cormorants first continued to decline and then recovered to levels recorded in the 1970s. The decline in Common Guillemot Uria aalge and Razorbill Alca torda numbers recorded since 1970 culminated in 1989 when no birds were seen in the region. Since then, one individual Common Guillemot was seen in 1999. In 2002 approximately 7500 pairs of Kittiwake, 770 pairs of Cormorant and 15 pairs of Shag bred in 23 colonies. Possible causes for the main population changes are briefly discussed.
Once Upon a Fishtail in Aquamarine, an Ecofeminist Fairy Tale: Mermaids as Water Girls from the Nineteenth Century to Twenty-First-Century Disney
Authors: Kapurch Katie
Published: October 2024

Guided by ecofeminist philosophy and fairy tale criticism, this article theorizes the metaphorical potency of mermaids via Alice Hoffman’s Aquamarine (2001). The novella narrativizes mermaids’ twined applicability to girlhood and the environment while resisting Disneyfied depictions of wish fulfillment. Although Hoffman actively distances her fishtailed water girl from Disney’s source, Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairy tale, she recovers the little mermaid’s folkloric predecessors, the fairy Melusine and the water nymph Undine. Allusions to and divergences from this identifiable mermaid legacy in girl culture serve Aquamarine’s environmental metaphors. Hoffman’s ecofeminist critique also rejects neoliberal postfeminist discourses that prioritize the individual as consumer, epitomized by Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989), which influenced the cinematic adaptation Aquamarine (2006). Messages about decentering the individual and serving a higher purpose resonate in the literary Aquamarine, which perceives nature as a living entity and is prescient about the consequences of human activity in relation to climate change. Two decades after the novella’s publication, Aquamarine’s insight is pertinent as we reckon with global warming with the help of other water girls, including, ironically enough, Disney’s 2023 Ariel.
War, Cannibalistic Atrocity, and the Illusion of Patriarchal Absolutism in Wole Soyinka’s Madmen and Specialists

Existing studies on Soyinka’s dramatic works have shown how his play Madmen and Specialists (henceforth called Madmen in this study) constitutes a caustic critique of war, the Nigerian military class, and its civilian allies who orchestrated the tragedy that characterized the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). However, Madmen deserves more critical attention to unravel its significance to Nigeria’s current state of anomie generated by various patriarchal supremacist ideologies. This article, thus, explores how Soyinka, in Madmen, uses dramatic resources to capture how obsession with absolutism by the patriarchal forces continues to provoke war and cannibalistic atrocities in Nigeria. Using a postcolonial approach of African feminism as the theoretical lens, the article contends that although Madmen’s thematic preoccupations—war, cannibalism, and absolutism—are significant to the imaginative historicization of the Nigerian Civil War experience, they serve as the binoculars through which various forms of male-orchestrated violence in contemporary Nigeria can be interrogated. Soyinka engages in gendered self-reflexivity to reveal the destructiveness and the illusion of patriarchal absolutism in the postcolony. He indicts the state as anti-wo(hu)man. The article concludes that Soyinka’s imaginative engagement with war, cannibalism, and patriarchy in Madmen is an important critique that destabilizes men’s maleficent neocolonial domination.
