Preserving memory while reusing spaces: the ‘English way’ to regeneration by Urban Space Management Team
Authors: Reynolds Eric , Squassina Angela
Published: October 2024

Urban regeneration and industrial archaeology, dating back between the fourties and the fifties of the 20th century, has drawn attention to architecture, equipment and evidence of human manufacturing, widening the scope of Heritage Preservation in Europe and all over the world. Scholars detected an overall and quite similar development of the approach to industrial Heritage throughout time in the western world, from an early spontaneus interest, through an exploitation mostly based on economic purposes, towards a more recent preservative and inclusive attitude in regenerating buildings and sites, that has a strong support from the voluntary sector in UK. This paper reports the concept and main achievements of a team that, since the seventies, has being pioneering an interdisciplinary, cost-effective and yet preservative approach to abandoned production sites. Blending economic return and true attention to people and site specificity, innovation and campaigns for protection and proper reuse, this approach has been proving to be able to decline the different acceptations of sustainability and, as for conceptual and operational aspects, presents some interesting food for thought.

Authors: Sivianes Manuel , Velarde Pablo , Zafra-Cabeza Ascensión , Bordons Carlos
Published: October 2024

Este trabajo presenta un sistema de control distribuido que optimiza la gestión energética en una comunidad utilizando control predictivo basado en modelos. Se ha extendido el sistema para dotar a cada agente de un mecanismo tolerante a fallos capaz de detectar, aislar y reconfigurar agentes en caso de fallos. La detección se realiza mediante el cálculo de señales residuales y umbrales basados en restricciones de probabilidad para minimizar falsos positivos. Identificado el fallo, se ajustan los parámetros del controlador predictivo del agente para mantener la seguridad del sistema. Si la reconfiguración afecta a múltiples agentes, la información se comparte. El algoritmo de control utiliza un contrato inteligente en una red blockchain, resolviendo el problema de manera distribuida sin un coordinador central, y asegurando la seguridad e integridad de los datos. La estrategia propuesta ha sido evaluada mediante simulaciones en una comunidad energética.

Post Survival of SGBV Victims: Three Case Studies in the Batticaloa District, Sri Lanka
Authors: Kennedy Jeevaretnam
Published: October 2024

SGVB is a prolonged crime that has not ended since the beginning of this beautiful globe, though attempts were taken to eradicate it. The socioeconomic background of the victims does not allow them to live peacefully, specifically in the South Asian context, in comparison with the Western context. These three case studies are taken from the Batticaloa District of Sri Lanka from different demographic, age groups, financial and educational backgrounds who were treated by governmental and non-governmental organizations. It is very hard to see that their survival became a question after they were sent back to their society. The system of the society must be changed. Policies and laws do not change the “trends” of the society unless they change by themselves. This study was done by individual interviews of the victims, parents, and related officials. The study is purely a qualitative one.

Predicting the Impact of Different Cooling Systems on the Performance of Parabolic Trough Concentrating Solar Plant based on Real Data
Authors: Sofiane MIHOUB , Abdelilah BENAHMED
Published: October 2024

By enhancing the availability and dispatchability of energy, concentrated solar power systems with thermal energy storage have a significant impact on tackling the issue of energy insecurity in hot and arid locations. However, these technologies currently face a number of difficulties. Additionally, the selection of the cooling system has a significant impact on how well a concentrated solar power plant performs. The primary three drawbacks of current cooling systems are their high water usage, high cost, limited availability of local water resources, and potential for localized disturbance. As a result, effective low-water cooling solutions for solar power concentration are highly desired. To achieve this, the study assesses the viability and advantages of adding a radiative cooling system to an indirect parabolic trough-concentrating solar thermal plant with two thermal energy storage tanks in arid regions of Algeria. This system is expected to improve the block and efficiency of the power plant and decrease energy costs and water volumes consumed. In order to evaluate these advantages, using the system advisor model software, a number of simulation models have been constructed including wet, dry, and radiative cooling systems with various configurations so that each strategy can be compared. The experimental statistics from the Andasol-1 plant in SPAIN that were documented in the literature were used for plant parameters. The results of the simulations were contrasted with a predetermined set of posted data from the Andasol-1 reference facility. In comparison to dry and wet cooling systems, the results show a rise in annual power generation and nearly 2.4 % and 11 % increase in the use of radiative cooling systems, respectively. Furthermore, the environmental assessment found that the annual water use may be reduced by 771209.7 m3, which would result in a possible annual water savings of more than 50%.

Years of studies have proven that while human potential should not be measured in terms of sex or gender differences, the work performance should – as evidenced by science. The presented paper is therefore aimed to observe the possible gender differences in the selected leadership styles of entrepreneurs. It brings about an assumption that there are statistically significant gender differences in the self-assessment of the paternalistic leadership style attributes between the addressed male and female entrepreneurs. The research sample consisted of 315 entrepreneurs, of which 180 (57.1%) were women and 135 (42.9%) were men. Gender differences between the selected attributes of paternalistic leadership style of entrepreneurs were analyzed by the original PL28 methodology. For identification of these differences, Student’s t-test for two independent samples was used and calculated in the IBM SPSS 26 software. The research results prove that there are several statistically significant gender differences recorded within the PL28 factors of Lenient, Authoritarian and Moral leading.

ABORDAGEM CIRÚRGICA DA ESTENOSE MITRAL EM PACIENTES PEDIÁTRICOS COM FEBRE REUMÁTICA: PERSPECTIVA REUMATOLÓGICA E CARDIOVASCULAR
Authors: Reis João Victor Martins , Silva Matheus Santos , Silva Arthur Handerson Gomes , Leite Eduarda Xavier
Published: October 2024

Introdução: A estenose mitral é uma complicação frequente em pacientes pediátricos que desenvolveram febre reumática, uma condição inflamatória que pode resultar de infecções por estreptococos. A estenose mitral ocorre quando a válvula mitral não se abre adequadamente, levando a dificuldades na circulação sanguínea e, consequentemente, a sintomas graves, como dispneia e edema. A abordagem cirúrgica é muitas vezes necessária para restaurar a função valvular e prevenir complicações a longo prazo, como insuficiência cardíaca e arritmias. A gestão deste quadro clínico requer uma perspectiva integrada, que considere tanto os aspectos reumatológicos quanto cardiovasculares, uma vez que a inflamação sistêmica associada à febre reumática pode impactar o prognóstico pós-operatório. Objetivo: Analisar as evidências sobre a abordagem cirúrgica da estenose mitral em pacientes pediátricos com febre reumática, focando nos resultados clínicos e nas implicações para o manejo a longo prazo. Metodologia: A metodologia seguiu o checklist PRISMA e incluiu uma busca em bases de dados como PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science. Utilizou-se cinco descritores principais: “estenose mitral”, “febre reumática”, “cirurgia cardíaca pediátrica”, “complicações” e “resultados clínicos”. Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram artigos que discutiram pacientes pediátricos com estenose mitral secundária à febre reumática, publicações em inglês ou português e estudos realizados nos últimos dez anos. Em contrapartida, foram excluídos trabalhos que abordaram adultos, revisões não originais e estudos que não apresentaram dados clínicos significativos. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que a cirurgia, em particular a valvoplastia mitral, apresentou alta taxa de sucesso, com a maioria dos pacientes experimentando melhora significativa dos sintomas e qualidade de vida. As complicações pós-operatórias foram relativamente raras, mas a monitorização cuidadosa foi considerada crucial. Estudos ressaltaram a importância do tratamento precoce da febre reumática para prevenir a progressão da estenose. Conclusão: A abordagem cirúrgica da estenose mitral em pacientes pediátricos com febre reumática demonstrou ser eficaz e segura, com resultados positivos a longo prazo. O manejo multidisciplinar, que integra cuidados reumatológicos e cardiovasculares, foi fundamental para otimizar os desfechos clínicos. Além disso, a identificação precoce da febre reumática e a intervenção cirúrgica adequada são essenciais para melhorar a qualidade de vida das crianças afetadas.

COVID-19 hatásának vizsgálata az egyetemi hallgatók online élelmiszer-vásárlói magatartására a TAM-modell segítségével
Authors: Piros Edina , Fehér András
Published: October 2024

A koronavírus-járvány meglehetősen átformálta az emberek mindennapjait világszerte. A COVID 19 járvány jelentős hatást gyakorolt a digitális viselkedésre is, ugyanis a vírus miatti szigorú kormányzati intézkedések és korlátozások a biztonságos vásárlási alternatívák irányába terelték a fogyasztókat. Így más eddigi piacvezető termékkategóriák (ruhák, cipők, elektronikai cikkek) mellett az online élelmiszer-vásárlás terén eddig nem látott dinamikus növekedés volt tapasztalható (McKinsey & Company, 2021). A primer kutatás során kvantitatív eljárásként pedig a kérdőíves felmérésbe a Debreceni Egyetem Gazdaságtudományi Karán tanulmányokat folytató magyar- és külföldi hallgatókat vontuk be. A külföldi egyetemisták esetében a nagyobb létszám elérése érdekében még az International Student Union (ISU) Debrecen csoportban és az International Students in Debrecen csoportban is megosztottuk a kérdőívet az adminisztrátorok engedélyével.A témában végzett kutatás a Technológia Elfogadás Modelljére (TAM-modell) támaszkodva elsődlegesen azt vizsgálta, hogy miként változott a magyar és külföldi egyetemi hallgatók hozzáállása az online élelmiszervásárláshoz a COVID 19 járvány következtében. A diákok Likert-skálán értékelték a kutatás alapját adó 18 állítást, mely Radka és Martin kutatásaiból származik. Cronbach’s Alpha értékkel bizonyításra került, hogy az alkalmazott skála megfelelően mér, majd pedig faktorelemzéssel adatredukciót hajtottunk végre. A háromhárom faktorba tartozó állításokon a továbbiakban főkomponens elemzést bonyolítottunk le, hogy tisztább látens változókat keletkezzenek. Mindez a jobb szakmai érthetőséget segítette. Végül a magyar- és külföldi hallgatókat is viszonylag homogén csoportba rendeztük a K-közép klaszterezési eljárást alkalmazva. Így egyaránt négy-négy klasztert hoztunk létre a magyarok- és külföldiek adathalmazán belül. Az első hipotézis beigazolódott, miszerint koronavírus-járvány hatására a magyar- és külföldi egyetemi hallgatók esetében is megnövekedett az online vásárlások gyakorisága. Azoknak a magyar hallgatóknak az aránya magasabb, akik elzárkóznak az online élelmiszer-vásárlástól, így a H2 hipotézist elvettük.

The result also points out that Government final consumption expenditures also result in increased growth of the Asian economies. The study recommends that Asian nations must improve economic and social infrastructure to improve growth and development. In addition, the Government should focus on investments in urban settings to absorb the increasing population. Finally, the Government must ensure the proper allocation and utilization of funds towards developmental projects for achieving high growth.
La urbanización compacta y los megaproyectos urbanos del siglo XXI: El nuevo paradigma territorial de la ciudad región global
Authors: Cruz Santiago Francisco Apolinar
Published: October 2024

El estudio sobre el funcionamiento y estructura de las ciudades se ha manejado desde diferentes vertientes según las disciplinas que lo abordan: modelos espaciales económicos, estructuras ecológicas, estructura geográfica, patrones de uso de suelo, estructura y morfología urbana. La ciudad es la mejor expresión de lo que puede significar vivir en “proximidad y alejamiento a la vez”. Para su comprensión es necesario abordarla desde un enfoque transdisciplinario, en tanto que este estimula la creatividad para la búsqueda de modelos, métodos de observación, medición, representación y análisis desde un enfoque sistémico sobre la estructura socioespacial y morfología urbana, por sus recientes transformaciones. Los distintos procesos que explican la construcción socioespacial y territorial han servido de referente para el desarrollo del presente trabajo, partiendo de una serie de estudios empíricos sobre los nuevos megaproyectos urbanos y de infraestructura vial, así como la urbanización estratégica, el nuevo paradigma territorial de la ciudad región global. En el umbral del siglo XXI, se presenta un nuevo cambio en la concepción de la ciudad de una forma estratégica y global, visión que implica un nuevo modelo espacial en su inserción en el territorio y de la escala para identificar los cambios de la estructura urbana y las claves funcionales de su dinámica interna. Desde una perspectiva global e integradora, nos podría ayudar a entender temas centrales de la ciudad contemporánea y distinguir las transformaciones vinculadas a la globalización. La región centro del país (corona regional), por su proceso de urbanización tardía y la metropolitanización en transición, tiene un modelo urbano diferenciado de otros países. La ciudad compacta tiene un importante peso por la crisis industrial y del modelo de desarrollo urbano, y si bien han generado problemas, también ofrecen oportunidades. El grupo de ciudades que conforma la “ciudad región global” presenta algunas posibilidades de espacios vacíos y obsoletos que han sido desocupados por la industria para conformarse en “nuevas centralidades”. La planeación estratégica de los nuevos megaproyectos de infraestructura urbana trae como consecuencia la configuración de una nueva urbanización del espacio construido.

Authors: Assiroj Priati
Published: October 2024

Archives play a crucial role in every institution that carries out public service tasks. Every month, the Cilacap Immigration Office generates approximately a thousand application files from Indonesian citizens. As a result, the process of searching and archiving these files takes a long time, mainly due to the lack of an application provided by the Directorate General of Immigration. Therefore, the Class I TPI Cilacap Immigration Office has developed an innovative solution in the form of an E-Archive application to streamline the archiving process of Indonesian citizen files. The primary objective of developing this E-Archive application is to enhance the productivity of immigration officers in their archiving duties, facilitate the retrieval of required files, and record information for each file. Unlike previous studies that analyzed an E-Archive application called SISUMAKER, this research focuses on analyzing the E-Archive application developed by the Class I TPI Cilacap Immigration Office. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the E-Archive application in facilitating the tasks of immigration officers and identifying challenges that arise during its implementation. The research methodology used is descriptive-qualitative, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the E-Archive application has been effective based on the analysis using five effectiveness indicators. However, there are several challenges in its implementation, such as delays in distributing archives to the TIKKIM Section, insufficient comprehensive features in the E-Archive application, and a lack of notification alerts for every hundred inputted files.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui tindakan yang diberikan kepada warga negara asing  yang negaranya masuk dalam bebas visa kunjungan dan datang melalui tempat pemeriksaan imigrasi namun mendaftarkan dirinya menjadi seorang pencari suaka. Kebijakan bebas visa kunjungan terhadap 169 (seratus enam puluh sembilan) negara yang diberikan Pemerintah Indonesia. Penentuan status pencari suaka hingga menjadi seorang pengungsi dilakukan oleh UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). Pemberian suaka bertujuan untuk perlindungan dari ancaman kebebasan hak asasi manusia seseorang yang didasari dari alasan kemanusiaan. Izin tinggal yang masih berlaku yang dimiliki warga negara asing saat berada di Indonesia juga merupakan suatu bentuk perlindungan terhadap orang tersebut. Tindakan yang diberikan memperhatikan pendekatan kesejahteraan dari fasilitas bebas visa kunjungan dan pendekatan keamanan berdasarkan kedaulatan negara. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah normatif empiris (gabungan) yang menggabungkan penelitian yang berdasarkan pada peraturan yang ada dengan melihat aturan pada maksud yang nyata di masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat diketahui beberapa temuan sebagai berikut. HR masuk ke Indonesia dengan cara menyalahgunakan fasilitas bebas visa kunjungan. HR telah memberikan keterangan yang tidak benar kepada petugas pada saat tiba di Tempat Pemeriksaan Imigrasi Bandara Internasional Soekarno Hatta. Kemudian, HR menikahi seorang wanita Indonesia, secara agama atau nikah sirih. Pernikahan ini berpotensi menimbulkan dugaan perkawinan semu dan penyimpangan hukum. Setelah izin tinggalnya habis, HR mengajukan permohonan sebagai pencari suaka kepada UNHCR. Berdasarkan modus operandi di atas, maka HR diberikan tindakan administrasi keimigrasian karena telah menyalahgunakan bebas visa kunjungan berupa deportasi dan penangkalan. Pemberian sanksi tersebut didasarkan atas Surat Keputusan Tindakan Keimigrasian Kepala Kantor Imigrasi Kelas I Non TPI Jakarta Selatan Nomor: W.10.IMI.IMI.3-1612-GR.02.03 Tahun 2020 dan berdasarkan Surat Direktur Jenderal Imigrasi Nomor IMI-GR.02.03-1910 tentang Perubahan Kebijakan Penanganan Pencari Suaka dan Pengungsi oleh IOM.

Published: October 2024

Kebijakan Bebas Visa Kunjungan (BVK) merupakan salah satu upaya pemerintah Indonesia untuk menghadapi era globalisasi yang menuntut adanya integrasi antarnegara. BVK memungkinkan warga negara asing untuk mengunjungi Indonesia tanpa persyaratan visa, dengan tujuan meningkatkan hubungan bilateral dan memfasilitasi pertumbuhan ekonomi. Namun, kebijakan ini juga menimbulkan permasalahan dan implikasi yang perlu dianalisis dalam konteks paradigma liberalisme. Permasalahan yang muncul meliputi meningkatnya kerawanan keamanan, hukum, dan politik akibat peningkatan jumlah orang asing yang memanfaatkan BVK. Hal ini menuntut peran yang lebih besar dari lembaga imigrasi dalam menanggulangi kerawanan tersebut. Selain itu, implikasi kebijakan BVK perlu dievaluasi dari perspektif liberalisme. Apakah kebijakan ini memberikan keuntungan bagi Indonesia atau hanya merugikan melalui potensi kerawanan ancaman yang ada. Dalam analisis ini, dilakukan evaluasi terhadap kebijakan BVK berdasarkan paradigma liberalisme.

Luasnya cakupan geografis yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia menjadi aset nasional dalam menunjang pembangunan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Namun, dalam hal perlintasan orang keluar dan masuk di Wilayah Indonesia, tidak semua unsur masyarakat khususnya yang menjadi subjek Pekerja Migran Indonesia melakukan perjalanan melalui batas-batas administratif dan mekanisme prosedural. Signifikansi tiap tahunnya perihal korban Tindak Pidana Pidana Perdagangan Orang menjadi bukti konkret bahwasanya terdapat celah non prosedural dalam hal perlintasan yang melibatkan monitoring dari Aparatur Penegak Hukum, salah satunya Imigrasi sebagai stakeholder utama. Adanya fenomena perdagangan orang menjadi problematika fundamental sekaligus tumor sosial yang harus memiliki solusi alternatif, yang semula ditangani secara konvensional dengan melibatkan manusia sebagai pengawas, beralih menggunakan sistem pelaporan dan perlindungan digital berbasis aplikasi yang melibatkan korban ataupun pelapor agar proaktif dalam upaya perlindungan diri. Intervensi era disrupsi teknologi dan gagasan good governance menuntut Lembaga pemerintahan layaknya Imigrasi dan aparatur penegak hukum lainnya untuk menjalin sinergitas dalam menghadirkan perlindungan hukum bagi korban yang terjerat Tindak Pidana Perdagangan Orang atas dasar kurangnya pemerataan akses pendidikan dan lapangan kerja yang menjadi penyebab mendasar.

Isu masuknya 10 juta tenaga kerja asing China telah menimbulkan spekulasi tentang aktivitas mereka selama berada di Indonesia. Isu ini semakin menguat di masa Pandemi Covid-19. Pemerintah Indonesia dinilai tidak sensitif dalam menyikapi situasi ini jika masih memberikan VISA bagi para pekerja tersebut. Kehadiran tenaga kerja Tionghoa bukanlah hal baru di Indonesia. Beberapa dari migran ini datang sebagai investor, tetapi sebagian besar datang sebagai pekerja migran, terutama bekerja untuk perusahaan China. Jumlah yang meningkat ini sesuai dengan implementasi Inisiatif Sabuk dan Jalan China, dengan Indonesia sebagai salah satu tujuan utamanya. Sekitar 1.000 perusahaan China, baik negara maupun swasta, beroperasi di sektor konstruksi, pertambangan, dan elektronik di Indonesia. Perusahaan-perusahaan ini telah menarik semakin banyak pekerja migran dari China. Beberapa bulan lalu, total 500 tenaga kerja asing asal China tiba di Bandara Haluoleo Kendari, Indonesia. Para pekerja yang akan tiba di Indonesia dalam beberapa minggu mendatang akan mengerjakan berbagai proyek China. Karena pandemi Covid-19, para pekerja ini akan datang berbondong-bondong. Fenomena ini menimbulkan reaksi dari warga sekitar. Sebagian besar orang menyesali keputusan itu. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bagaimana sentimen publik terhadap kasus ini. Dengan menggunakan Social Network Analysis dan Drone Emprit Analysis (DEA), penelitian ini akan mengungkap opini publik terhadap jejaring sosial tersebut. Temuan penelitian ini akan menggambarkan keseluruhan gambaran sentimen publik terhadap keberadaan TKI di Indonesia selama Pandemi Covid-19. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai bukti dalam proses pembuatan kebijakan, khususnya kebijakan tenaga kerja asing

Published: October 2024

This article seeks to highlight a noteworthy instance of bordering along the Indo-Bhutan frontier. The essay combines aspects of nationalism and globalization. Nationalism deems open borders as wounds that need to be healed through fencing, while globalization seeks to open up borders for free trade and movement of people. The Indo-Bhutan border is distinct from the soft borders of Europe and the hard borders between unfriendly nations such as the USA and Mexico. This is due to the process of clear demarcation involving military patrols and simultaneously the citizens of the border villages extending their cooperation and mutual trust across the border and by not showing any signs of othering. Here, civilians play a crucial role as they have established mutual respect, collaboration, and confidence with the Bhutanese people while also supporting the SSB's widespread presence and patrols. The presence of SSB marks the solidification of borders due to rising nationalism, while the civilians on both sides of the hardened border show immense cooperation and mutual respect.  Although security risks associated with othering by nationalist groups persist, the Indo-Bhutan borderline is an intriguing example.
