Published: October 2018

The need of effective and efficient method to retrieving non-Web-enabled and Web-enabled information entities is essential, due to the fact of inaccuracy of the existing search engines that still use traditional term-based indexing for text documents and annotation text for images, audio and video files. Previous works showed that incorporating the knowledge in the form of concepts into an information retrieval system may increase the effectiveness of the retrieving method. Unfortunately, most of the works that implemented the concept-based information retrieval system still focused on one information format. This paper proposes a multi-format (text, image, video and, audio) concept-based information retrieval method for Cloud environment. The proposed method is implemented in a laboratory-scale heterogeneous cloud environment using Eucalyptus middleware.Â  755 multi-format information is experimented and the performance of the proposed method is measured.

Authors: Rahmadya Budi , Ghazi Fahrul , Derisma Derisma
Published: October 2018

This study discussed about using the smart home automation systems for household appliances such as lights and fans, by utilizing the GSM network as a communication medium to control and monitor the household appliances. In this study, the simulations were performed by the two following modes 1). Self-automated and 2). Manually-automated. In controlling the lamp, the light intensity that values less than 280 lux will give response of turned ON the lamp, while if the value of light intensity is more than 280 lux, it will give a response of turned OFF the lamp. To control the fan, a room temperature value of more than or equal to 30 Â° C will turn ON the fan, while the room temperature value which is less than 30 Â° C will turn OFF the fan. Simulations were performed by placing the devices in the room and operating it for three days. The test and simulation results were recorded in the form of log files or history files. The self-automated operations mode controlled the system using a sensor (Light Dependent Resistor and LM35 Sensor) unit to detect the environmental condition and take actions according to detected environmental condition. In the manually-automated operation mode, user could control the household appliances according to the userâ€™s intention. The light intensity values obtained in the morning were equal to 280 lux, so it will turn off the lights. The room temperature obtained was in the range of 28oC - 33oC; the fan will turn on if the temperature value is equal to or more than 30oC.

Authors: Dimitrovska Ivana , Malinovski Toni
Published: October 2018

Machine learning enables computers to learn from large amounts of data without specific programming. Besides its commercial application, companies are starting to recognize machine learning importance and possibilities in order to transform their data assets into business value. This study explores integration of machine learning into business core processes, while enabling predictive analytics that can increase business values and provide competitive advantage. It proposes machine learning algorithm based on regression analysis for a business solution in large enterprise company in Macedonia, while predicting real-value outcome from a given array of business inputs. The results show that most of the machine learning predictive values for the desired process output deviated from 0 to 15% of actual employees' decision. Hence, it verifies the appropriateness of the chosen approach, with predictive accuracy that can be meaningful in practice. As a machine learning case study in business context, it contains valuable information that can help companies understand the significance of machine learningÂ for enterprise computing. It also points out some potential pitfalls of machine learning misuse.

Authors: Karnalim Oscar , Aldiansyah Aldi
Published: October 2018

Since source code plagiarism is an emerging issue on Computer Science major and Python is a new popular programming language, this paper aims to empirically enlist plagiarism attacks that might be occurred on Python source code. As our case study, our work will be focused on source code plagiarism in object-oriented environment. The result of this work is expected to become either an evaluation baseline or a prior knowledge for developing Python-targeted plagiarism detection system. Based on 280 plagiarism-suspected pairs that were extracted from four Basic Data Structure classes, four findings can be deducted. First, there are 20 distinct Python plagiarism attacks that might be occurred in object-oriented environment. Second, plagiarism attack trend on both object-oriented and procedural environment are considerably similar to each other. Third, there is no need to handle plagiarism attacks in both object-oriented and procedural environment separately. Last, plagiarism attacks in object-oriented environment is more monotonous than such attacks in procedural environment.
Application of the Fundamental Solution Method to object recognition in the pictures
Authors: Klekiel Tomasz
Published: October 2018

Recognition of objects in pictures and movies requires the use of techniques, such as filtering, segmentation and classification. Image filtering is required to remove all artifacts that hinder the unequivocal identification and sharpen interesting objects. Segmentation refers to finding areas of images respected to individual objects. For the selected areas corresponding to objects in the selected picture, the classification of objects finally gives information about the type of object which orientation is made. This paper presents a method for the classification of objects from drawings as a bitmap using the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). The MFS was tested on the selected bitmap depicting simple geometric shapes. The correlations between errors occurring on the boundary for particular shapes are used for the selection of geometric shape figures. Due to this correlation, it is possible to recognize the shape of the image appearing on the drawing by an analysis consisting of the comparison of recognized points describing the shape of contour to a database containing solutions of boundary value problems for the selected shape. In one way, the comparison of the pattern can determine which shape from database it is most similar to in terms of contour. This article appear that this approach is very simple and clearly. In result, this method can be used to recognition of the objects in the systems of real-time processing.

Published: October 2018

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in people with essential thrombocytosis (ET).Methods: A total of 30 patients with ET patient group and 30 volunteers with no known disease control group (C group) were included in this study after the approval of ethics committee and written informed consent was obtained. Patients with a history of major thrombosis were excluded. IMA levels and independent variables were investigated and effects on thrombosis susceptibility were also studied. In addition to that; comorbid disease state, drug use and used drugs group were questioned in patient group and effects of them on IMA levels were studied.Results: In our study, when ET patient group and C group were compared, the mean serum IMA levels in ET patient group and C group was detected as 0,6726 (0,527-0,776) Absorbans Unite (ABSU) and 0,4342 (0,346-0,612) ABSU respectively and in ET patient group was significantly higher than C group (p<0,001). The glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride values were significantly higher in ET patient group (p= 0,026, p= 0,058, p= 0,004, respectively). There is a correlation between IMA concentration and age (p= 0,042).Conclusions: In our study IMA levels were found significantly high in ET patient group, this supports increased risk of thrombosis in ET. The difference of metabolic parameters between the ET patient group and C group can be explained by insulin resistance and atherosclerosis background caused by chronic inflammation.

A análise feita indica uma redução de demanda de 6,32MW, uma economia anual de 40,2 GWh, evitando-se uma emissão equivalente de 19,3 GgCO2, supondo a imposição de normas que exijam um consumo de standby de até 1 W.
Generalização Das Conexões Delta-diferenciais Para Retificadores De 12 E 18 Pulsos
Authors: Gonçalves Vinícius Assad , De Seixas Falcondes José Mendes
Published: October 2018

Este trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para generalizar as conexões trifásicas de 12 e de 18 pulsos de autotransformadores. Uma expressão matemática única, obtida através de operações simples entre triângulos, representa todas as conexões. Além disso, a metodologia proposta permite escolher qualquer relação entre os valores das tensões de entrada e de saída permitindo obter conversores elevadores ou abaixadores de tensão. Para facilitar o cálculo dos enrolamentos, são gerados ábacos que fornecem diretamente a relação de espiras e a polaridade de cada enrolamento secundário, em relação ao primário. Um exemplo de projeto, seguido de simulação, ilustra todos os passos apresentados e os resultados de um protótipo de 6kW (18 pulsos) confirmam a operação. Verifica-se também que o elevado fator de potência é característica natural dos conversores de múltiplos pulsos, que são compostos de retificadores não controlados, sem necessidade de dispositivos préreguladores de fator de potência, ativos ou passivos. Um conversor de 12 ou de 18 pulsos gerado poderá substituir com vantagens o retificador convencional de seis pulsos (retrofit), se uma correta escolha da relação entre as tensões de entrada e saída for escolhida.

Authors: Accioly A. G. H. , Lima V. N. , Bradaschia F. , Neves F. A. S. , Cavalcanti M. C. , Neto A. Samuel
Published: October 2018

This paper describes three different scalar pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for matrix converters to be compared to two other scalar techniques proposed here. Before exposing all the techniques, a mathematical review of the matrix converters is done to aid the comprehension of this converter. These new techniques use, for synthesizing an output reference voltage, only two input voltages in each switching period. As consequence, the losses of the switching process are expected to be lower than the losses of the other techniques. All techniques presented, but one, have unity displacement factor (DF). To verify the characteristics of these new methods, some simulation results are presented and compared with some simulation results presented by the other methods.

Authors: Jarero Ignacio , Uribe Susana
Published: October 2018

El presente estudio de campo fue realizado tras el descubrimiento de 218 cuerpos en fosas clandestinas, en el estado mexicano de Durango en abril de 2011. Se llevó a cabo una evaluación psicométrica preliminar, con los 60 empleados de la Procuraduría General del Estado que se encontraban trabajando con los cuerpos. Esto para establecer los criterios de selección y medidas de base. Se administraron la Escala de Impacto del Evento (IES) y la escala Short PTSD Rating Interview (SPRINT). Los 32 individuos que arrojaron puntajes de estrés postraumático y de Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) de moderados a severos, fueron tratados con el Protocolo de EMDR para Incidentes Críticos Recientes (EMDR-PRECI). Los participantes se asignaron a dos grupos: Grupo de Atención Inmediata (GAI, síntomas severos) y Grupo de Atención Demorada (GAD, síntomas moderados). Cada sesión individual con los clientes tuvo una duración entre 90 y 120 minutos. Los resultados demostraron que una sesión de terapia EMDR empleando el Protocolo para Incidentes Críticos Recientes (PRECI), produjo una mejoría significativa en la sintomatología de TEPT y estrés postraumático. Esto tanto para el grupo de atención inmediata como para el grupo de atención demorada. Este estudio provee evidencia preliminar, que sustenta la eficacia del protocolo en un escenario natural de situación de masacre humana, con un grupo de adultos traumatizados trabajando bajo estrés extremo. Se recomienda más investigación para evaluar la eficacia del protocolo.
Programmes d'assistance humanitaire de la psychothérapie EMDR : traiter les effets psychologiques, physiques et sociétaux des expériences défavorables à travers le monde
Authors: Shapiro Francine
Published: October 2018

Il est prouvé que les effets négatifs du trauma et d'autres expériences de vie défavorables interfèrent avec le fonctionnement individuel, familial et sociétal. La psychothérapie EMDR (désensibilisation et retraitement par les mouvements oculaires) bénéficie d'un soutien empirique ; elle est recommandée en tant que traitement de première ligne pour le trauma psychologique dans de nombreuses directives de pratique. Elle apporte un traitement à la fois efficace et efficient sans nécessiter de description détaillée de l'événement perturbant ou de tâches à réaliser entre les séances. Ceci permet aux équipes sur le terrain d'offrir une psychothérapie culturellement adaptée lors de journées successives à des personnes dans des régions éloignées et en situation de crise. Des organisations d'aide humanitaire ont mené des projets sur le plan international afin de proposer une psychothérapie EMDR après des catastrophes d'origine naturelle ou humaine et ont contribué à développer des ressources durables en santé mentale à travers le monde. Cette brève introduction apporte une vue d'ensemble des programmes actuels, de la logique qui sous-tend le traitement, ainsi qu'un appel à la mobilisation future.
Supervisión de casos: Mujer embarazada traumatizada
Authors: Forgash Carol , Leeds Andrew , Stramrood Claire A. I. , Robbins Amy
Published: October 2018

Supervisión de casos es un nuevo apartado regular del Journal of EMDR Practice and Research en el que un terapeuta solicita ayuda con un caso complicado y tres expertos le responden por escrito. En este artículo, Amy Robbins, una terapeuta certificada en terapia de desensibilización y reprocesamiento por movimientos oculares (EMDR) de Atlanta, Georgia, describe brevemente un caso complicado en el que una mujer embarazada busca tratamiento por un trauma sufrido durante un tornado. La terapeuta pregunta si es recomendable hacer tratamiento con EMDR y qué precauciones debería tener en cuenta. La primera especialista, Carol Forgash, ofrece información general sobre el embarazo y la psicoterapia y señala aspectos a tener en cuenta, precauciones y contraindicaciones a la hora de proceder con EMDR. Recomienda que si se escoge este tratamiento, la terapeuta proceda con un protocolo de trauma reciente para hacer blanco específicamente sobre los recuerdos traumáticos del reciente tornado. El segundo especialista, Andrew Leeds, comenta sobre la ausencia de ensayos controlados aleatorizados (ECA) u otros informes científicos que exploren la seguridad del tratamiento EMDR con mujeres embarazadas. Señala que las mujeres embarazadas con síntomas de estrés postraumático tendrían que entender que hay grandes posibilidades de que el EMDR mejore su calidad de vida como madre y que, probablemente, los riesgos de sufrir efectos adversos en la estabilidad del embarazo son muy bajos, aunque siguen siendo desconocidos. La tercera especialista, Claire Stramrood, explica que los pocos estudios de casos que han evaluado el EMDR durante el embarazo han encontrado efectos positivos, pero estaban relacionados con mujeres con trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT) posterior al nacimiento del bebé. Afirma que una vez que se haya consultado al obstetra, se haya informado a las mujeres de los posibles riesgos y beneficios y hayan firmado un consentimiento informado, deberían de poder decidir si comenzar la terapia EMDR durante el embarazo.
ÇOCUKLUK, OYUN VE KENT: 80’Lİ YILLARIN GÜMÜŞHANE’SİNDE ÇOCUK OLMAK

Published: October 2018

Çocukluk, insan hayatının en unutulmaz dönemlerinden birisindir. Yıllar geçse de kişinin hafızasından silinmeyen
bu dönem her zaman özlemle hatırlanmaktadır. Çocuğun içinde bulunduğu fiziksel çevre sadece gelişim ve
sosyalleşmesinde değil, toplumun sağlıklı iletişim kurabilen bireyler üretmesi için de oldukça önemlidir. Ülkemiz
şehirlerinde her üç kişiden birisi çocuktur. Bu oran çocukların şehir hayatına önemli bir etkisi olduğunu
göstermektedir. Gümüşhane, küçük bir şehir olarak sunduğu sıcak ve samimi ortam sayesinde her zaman çocuk
dostu bir şehir olmuştur. 1980’lerde şehrin coğrafi koşulları ve iş olanaklarının kısıtlayıcılığından dolayı lise veya
üniversite seviyesindeki gençler şehirden ayrılmak zorunda kalarak, gurbette yaşamaya mecbur kalmışlardır. Bu
çocuklar şehirleriyle olan bağlarını kesmemiş ve gönül bağlılıklarını devam ettirmişlerdir. Geçen süre zarfında
büyük bir hızla şehirleşen Gümüşhane, 80’li yıllarda çocuklara doğal bir oyun alanı olan sokaklarını ve bahçelerini
kaybetmekle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Bir çocuğun en güvenli oyun alanı kendi sokağıdır. Çocukların yaşam ve oyun
alanlarını hiçe sayan beton bloklar geçmişin mahalle yaşamını hızla yutmaktadır. Süper marketler mahalle
bakkallarını yok ederken, otomobil yoğunluğu şehrin sokaklarını adeta işgal ederek, çocukların önceden oyun alanı
olan yerleri sınırlamaktadır. Bu çalışma 80’li yıllarda Gümüşhane’de çocukluğu geçmiş bugünün gurbetçi
çocuklarının çocukluk dönemine ışık tutmak ve bu sayede hem şehrin o önemdeki sosyo-ekonomik yapısını
anımsamayı, hem de günümüzle olan farklılıkları karşılaştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın yöntemi 1980’ler
Gümüşhane’sinde çocukluk yaşamış ve şu an gurbette olan kadın ve erkek katılımcılarla yapılan görüşmeler sonucu
gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Authors: Şardagı EMİNE , Öztürk Mesude Canan
Published: October 2018

Halkla ilişkilere yönelik ilgi son
yirmi yıl içinde giderek artmıştır. Bu durum halkla ilişkiler eğitiminin önemli
hale gelmesine sebep olmuştur. Uygulama alanlarının gelişmesi farklı bir ülkede
ya da kültürde halkla ilişkiler çalışması yapıldığında küreselleşmenin etkilerinin
düşünülmesini gerekli kılmıştır. Ülkelerin kültürel, siyasal, ekonomik vb.
yapısının farkında olmak buna yönelik verilen eğitim ve bilinçle oluşmaktadır.
Bu bilincin oluşturulması için halkla ilişkiler programı içinde küreselleşmeye
yönelik eğitim verilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu
çalışmada, halkla ilişkiler eğitimi veren üniversitelerin ders içeriklerinde
küreselleşme ve uluslararasılaşmaya yönelik eğitimlerin varlığının incelenmesi
amaçlanmıştır. Böylece, halkla ilişkiler eğitiminde küreselleşme kavramı için
benzerlikler ve farklılıklar tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada, halkla
ilişkiler eğitimi veren üniversiteleri belirlemek için iki liste seçilmiş ve
küreselleşme ile ilgili derslerin içeriği incelenmiştir. Eğitimin içeriği,
içerik analizi yöntemi ile belirlenen başlıklar altında değerlendirilmiştir.
Literatürde eğitimde küreselleşme kavramının önemi sıkça vurgulanmaktadır.
Ancak bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar üniversitelerin bu konuya yeterince
önem vermediğini göstermektedir. Bulgular, programların çoğunda halkla
ilişkilerin uluslararası ve küresel boyutuyla ilgili çok az ders verildiğini ortaya
koymuştur. Bununla birlikte verilen uluslararası derslerin büyük bir bölümü
seçmeli ders olarak verilmektedir. Bu durum bu anlamda bir anlayışın henüz
yerleşemediğinin göstergesi sayılabilir. Ders içeriğinin konusu kültür ve
kültürlerarası iletişim üzerine odaklanmaktadır.

İnsanlığın ilk günlerinden itibaren kadın erkek ayrımı ve kültürel olarak şekillenmesi kendini göstermektedir.
Bugün insan hayatının her noktasında yer alan medya ve özelliklede televizyon kadın erkek imgelerini kurarken
kültürel yapının özelliklerini vurgular biçimde görsel imgeler kurmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, medyada kadın
imgesinin konumlanması ve dizi üzerinden erkek egemen yapının sunumu üzerine yoğunlaşan bir çalışmaya
gidilmektedir. Televizyon dizileri yüksek izlenme oranları yanında, diziler üzerinden kurulmuş olan anlatı yapıları
ile de dikkat çekmektedir. Diziler üzerinden izleyicide yerleştirilmiş mafya tipi erkek karakterler birçok dizide
benzer özelliklerle verilmektedir. İzleyicinin görsel zihninde yerleştirilen erkek karakterlerin yanına, onların
davranışlarını örnek alan kadın karakterlerin resmedildiği bir anlatı yapısının kurulumunun betimlenmesine
çalışılmaktadır. Kadının medyada, erkek egemen yapının yanında sunulmasında kadının cinsel farklılığı, kültürel
yerleştirmeler ve medya da kadının yeniden inşası önce literatür çalışması ile incelenmektedir. Daha sonra ise
“Eşkiya Dünyaya Hükümdar Olmaz” dizisindeki üç kadın ana karakterler üzerinden göstergebilimsel söylem
analizi biçiminde yapılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Ayrıca çalışmadan Yeşilçam sineması ile yerleştirilen kadına yönelik
bazı kavramların izleri de aranmaktadır

Authors: Ren Shuncheng
Published: October 2018

Background: Corn silk, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine in China, has been used to remedy nephritis, hepatitis,

measles, hyperglycemia, tumor, etc. In this study, flavonoid monomers in corn silk were isolated and identified. This

study could serve as a basis for determining the curative effects of these monomers on human diseases.

Method: Corn silk flavonoids were extracted using 80% (v/v) ethanol and isolated by repeated polyamide column and

Toyopearl HW-40 column chromatography. Corn silk flavonoids were identified by UV spectroscopy, liquid

chromatography/mass spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Results: Two C-glycoside flavones, namely, ax-4″-OH-3′-methoxymaysin and a 3′-methoxymaysin isomer, were

isolated from corn silk and identified.

Conclusion: The two C-glycoside flavones were successfully isolated from corn silk and identified. This study is the

first to report 3′-methoxymaysin in corn silk.

Published: October 2018

The objective of the paper is to present the application of a transient multiphase flow simulator for the purpose of modelling and improving understanding of complex well behaviour which is not possible with a steady-state solution. The outcome was optimizing well production performance of problematic wells in terms of slugging flow and water loading at high network pressure in a gas condensate and oil field.

Continuous reservoir pressure decline, increasing gas-oil-ratio (GOR) and water cut have led several wells in the field to exhibit slugging flow. Different intervention trials in the subject wells failed to bring the well online in continuous flow. The methodology employed was to construct the well model in a transient multiphase flow simulator using the available data; well completion schematic, compositional PVT fluid properties, and well test data. The fluid was characterised using the PVT package. The well model was built, and its performance was matched to dynamic natural slugging flow, shut-in conditions, clean-up operations, and artificial lifting case where nitrogen was injected via coiled tubing to lighten the wellbore fluid density.

The modelling results of the well performance analysis have explored crossflow between reservoir zones and water loading phenomena on long sub-horizontal oil producers, at high operating well head pressures, as the cause of flow instability. The multi-stage completion and multiple reservoir intervals, with differing reservoir properties, were captured during construction of the well model. The static fluid gradient survey analysis verified the simulator outcomes, and this in turn proved its applicability for the complex fluids. The well model provided deep understanding of fluid flow in the wellbore for flowing and static conditions. The model was used to evaluate well intervention scenarios to establish a stable flow regime. These studies highlighted the possibility to achieve optimal operating well head pressures to avoid aggravating water loading and stable production process. Various multiphase stable flow optimization methods were examined along with an economic assessment. The dynamic multiphase flow simulator has been found useful in reproducing complex flow behaviour observed in problematic wells and improve stable production.

The approach of using a transient multiphase flow simulator on wells with water loading issues and also with crossflowing intervals is vital, and this first time application has proved beneficial for the Karachaganak gas condensate and oil field.
New Application of Old Data by Utilizing Long Duration Pressure Transient Tests and Permanent Downhole Gauges as High Value Assets for Improving Full Field Simulation Model with Additional Interference
Authors: Levchenko Pavel , Iskakov Elrad , Manakhayev Ruslan
Published: October 2018

Accurate fracture characterization has a huge impact on production forecasts and evaluation of projects in Naturally Fractured Carbonate fields. Pulse/Interference Tests can give valuable information about fracture network by providing additional constraint for spatial fracture distribution between wells, which can be honored with application of geologically consistent trends (Levchenko et.al, 2017). However, operational execution of the Pulse/Interference tests is very challenging. Therefore, usually limited data are available from the planned surveillance jobs leaving large sections of the reservoir without information from Pulse/Interference tests, which could be used for calibration of the Fracture Model.

Lack of Interference data can be resolved by examining already available measurements, which are generally used for other purposes. For example, the primary purpose of Pressure Transient Tests (PTTs) is obtaining kh and skin values, while Permanent Downhole Gauges (PDHG) are mostly utilized for recording reservoir pressure, which is used for conventional History Matching process. As it was found from this study, historical data from both PTTs and PDHGs could be a source of additional high value information of Interference tests occurring in the field, which nobody was aware of.

Properly designed Pulse/Interference Tests are very difficult to execute in the field with high production deliverability requirements. However, examining historical data can reveal a lot of good quality Interference Tests, which were recorded and stored for decades, but not used for Fracture Model characterization. Additional information from Interference tests were applied to calibrate a full-field simulation model, significantly improving quality of the history match in comparison with previous models, and improved confidence in the production forecasts.
The Development and Implementation of Subsoil Use Standards for the Petroleum Sector in Kazakhstan
Authors: Harrison Bob , Kairbayev Nurzhan
Published: October 2018

Modernization of the regulatory framework of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RoK) will complement the "100 Concrete Steps" national initiative of President Nazarbayev. Planned reforms aim to increase the transparency and predictability of the subsoil use sector by implementing an international system of reporting standards. The Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System (SPE-PRMS-2007) is the most likely choice for the hydrocarbon sector, as the guidelines can be altered to meet the needs of RoK to increase the contribution of petroleum production to drive economic growth, improve governance, and attract more investment, along with best available practices and technologies, in RoK.

A comparative analysis of the leading petroleum resource reporting systems used by governments and stock markets around the world concurred that a tailored SPE-PRMS-2007, which was named KAZ-PRMS, was the most appropriate system for the needs of RoK. Discussions were then held with a RoK Working Group, which was comprised of government bodies, technical institutes and operators, to address their concerns and to get their ‘buy-in’ to create a road map for the development and implementation of the new Code for Reporting Hydrocarbon Resources (Code) as required by international SPE-PRMS standards.

The initial concerns about migrating to a new reporting system of some of the Working Group were overcome via open and lively discussions, by workshops and through focused training sessions. The various parties concurred that migrating to KAZ-PRMS could be a valid alternative to the existing RoK resource reporting system from the Soviet era, which is disliked by the international investor community. There remained some concern over the proposed speed of change presented in the road map, but there was consensus for the need for change.

The administrative, technical and cultural challenges facing the RoK, which intends to radically overhaul its Soviet-era regulatory system and its petroleum resource reporting structure, whilst remaining legally compliant, are described in detail.
