Authors: Савицкая И.Г. , Лазарева Л.В.
Published: October 2024

Установление подследственности уголовных дел о преступлениях, совершенных в отношении несовершеннолетних или совершенных ими, предусмотренной УПК РФ 2001 г., вызвало споры среди ученых о целесообразности такого решения законодателя. Ряд авторов считают, что уголовные дела о преступлениях с участием несовершеннолетних должны расследовать исключительно следователи органов внутренних дел Российской Федерации, другие авторы полагают, что право расследования указанной категории дел должно принадлежать только следователям Следственного комитета России. В статье освещается компетенция следователей СК России по уголовным делам о тяжких и особо тяжких преступлениях, совершенных несовершеннолетними и в отношении несовершеннолетних, приводится статистика по данной категории уголовных дел, примеры из следственной практики, а также анализируется решение законодателя о наделении Следственного комитета Российской Федерации правом предварительно расследовать уголовные дела о преступлениях, предусмотренных ст. 125, 151 и 156 УК РФ.

The establishment of the jurisdiction of criminal cases on crimes committed against minors or committed by them, provided for in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation in 2001, has caused controversy among scientists about the expediency of such a decision by the legislator. A number of authors believe that exclusively investigators of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation should investigate criminal cases of crimes involving minors, other authors believe that the right to investigate this category of cases should belong only to investigators of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. The article highlights the competence of investigators of the IC of Russia in criminal cases of serious and especially serious crimes committed by minors and against minors, provides statistics on this category of criminal cases, examples from investigative practice, and analyzes the decision of the legislator to grant the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation the right to pre-investigate criminal cases of crimes under Article 125, 151 and 156 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Authors: Wijesinghe Dilnu Chanuwan
Published: October 2024

The ' Land Suitability Analysis ' is a useful management method for ensuring that agricultural lands are utilized sustainably and planned based on their potential. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for cropland suitability analysis have seen substantial contributions from researchers worldwide. This combination assesses and maps the suitability of land for different crops by utilizing the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) strengths of AHP and the spatial analytic capabilities of GIS. This Bibliometric analysis involves examining publications to identify patterns and trends, such as the most prolific authors & Countries, influential journals, and highly cited papers. It helps in understanding the development and current state of a research field. Using Biblioshiny software, the researchers obtained 183 publications of 687 authors and 319 different institutions using the bibliographic information from the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis uses the following subcategories: Country, Authors, Publication Sources, Annual Scientific Production, and keywords. By examining the outcomes of bibliometric analysis, methodology, and applications, it was discovered that AHP and MCDA are the most often utilized techniques in this respect. Also, the findings indicated a rising number of publications and a growing interest in the subject, especially in recent years. Over the previous 23 years, the overall trend of publications in this field grew gradually at an annual growth rate of 21.81%. Asian nations, especially China, India, and Iran, have had the biggest influence on the nation's scientific output in the discipline. During this period, India and Iran had the most research papers published. In addition, "GIS," "Land Suitability," and "AHP" are the top three most often used terms.

Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control of Four-Phase Interleaved Boost Converter
Authors: Yenil Veli , Özdemir Sadık , Ortatepe Zafer
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a novel control method that integrates super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) voltage control with proportional-integral (PI) current control for a four-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) in fuel cell applications. The STSM control, employed in the outer voltage loop, provides robust voltage regulation by generating precise reference currents for each phase. The conventional PI control in the inner current loop utilizes these reference currents to generate pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for each phase. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is evaluated through comprehensive simulation studies in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating an improvement in dynamic performance and enhanced robustness compared to conventional methods. Quantitative analysis shows that the output voltage quickly rises to the reference voltage within approximately 0.25 seconds in the proposed STSM-PI control method and improves transient response by 16 times compared to the conventional PI-PI method. This integrated STSM-PI control strategy offers significant advancements in reliability and efficiency making it a promising solution for high-performance fuel cell power systems.

Published: October 2024

In terms of providing delicious taste and excellent source of nutritional content, pears are highly consumed fruit all around the world. Pear juice concentrate (PJC) is one of the most frequently used products in the manufacturing processes of beverages, syrup base for canning fruits, vinegar, and wine. Colour, clarity, and the formation of hydroxy methyl furfural (HMF), a mark of Maillard browning reactions, were appraised as quality indices changes of PJC throughout storage. The samples were kept at 47°, 37°, and 27°C for 32 weeks and kinetic criteria were calculated for changes in color, clarity, and the generation of HMF. According to the model of zero-order reaction, the results demonstrated that the quantity of HMF rose linearly with temperature and storage period. The values of clarity and colour were both linearly reduced to align with the zero-order reaction kinetic. The dependence on temperature of the rate constant of the reactions examined and the activation energy values were calculated as 153.14, 93.81 and 61.48 kJ mol-1 for the generation of HMF, clarity, and colour changes with the help of Arrhenius equation.
Investigation of the Effect of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Addition on the Mechanical Properties of Flax Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials
Authors: Eryilmaz Ahmet , Ünal Hasan Yavuz , Pekbey Yeliz
Published: October 2024

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has recently been utilized as a reinforcement in composite materials due to its properties such as hardness, thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and strong chemical stability. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of nano-sized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on the mechanical properties of flax fiber-reinforced composite material. For this purpose, initially, hexagonal boron nitride was added to epoxy resin in different weight ratios and homogenized without agglomeration using ultrasonic treatment. Then, by employing the hand lay-up method, the mixture was applied to flax fiber fabrics and the flax fiber-epoxy composites were produced using the vacuum bagging method. Mechanical performance of the composites, produced with 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% by weight of hexagonal boron nitride, was determined through tensile, flexural, shear, and compression tests. Experimental results indicated that the addition of hexagonal boron nitride to flax fiber epoxy composite material increased the flexural strength and modulus compared to the unreinforced flax fiber epoxy composite material. The highest flexural strength and modulus were observed in the samples with 1.5% by weight of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Consequently, it can be considered that flax fiber-epoxy composite material with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) addition holds potential, especially for applications subjected to bending moments.
A vulnerabilidade externa da economia brasileira diante o cenário da economia mundial pós-2008
Authors: Rodrigues Cryslãine Flavia da Silva
Published: October 2024

O presente trabalho buscou avaliar a vulnerabilidade externa da economia brasileira diante o cenário da economia mundial pós-2008, lançando breves considerações acerca dos fatores estruturais da sua inserção comercial e financeira no período 2000-2017. Tendo em vista alcançar tal objetivo, buscou-se não só fazer uma breve apresentação acerca dos principais fatos e questões que marcam o cenário recente da economia mundial, mas também levar em consideração duas abordagens teóricas complementares: 1) as ideias de Raúl Prebisch (1949) acerca da divisão do sistema econômico mundial entre centro e periferia, e 2) a percepção de que o sistema monetário e financeiro internacional apresenta profundas assimetrias, as quais derivam da existência de uma hierarquia de moedas em âmbito internacional. Nesse sentido, ao destacar-se o aprofundamento de incertezas e assimetrias na caracterização da economia mundial, bem como o fato que o Brasil constitui uma economia especializada em produtos (básicos e semimanufaturados) com baixo valor agregado, e emissora de uma moeda com baixa liquidez internacional, observou-se que a discussão da vulnerabilidade externa da economia brasileira está longe de ser superada, em que pese qualquer melhora nos indicadores conjunturais de vulnerabilidade externa, tais como o expressivo volume de reservas internacionais acumuladas ao longo dos anos 2000.

Echoes Across the Globe: Insights into Left Atrial Size Assessment in Dogs and Cats : preferences, measurements, and observer variation among veterinary echocardiographers
Authors: Kuo Momo Yu-Wen
Published: October 2024

Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial (LA) size is important for screening, characterizing, and monitoring heart disease in dogs and cats. Echocardiography is known to be operator-dependent, leading to potential variation in assessment of the LA size. The thesis aimed to explore similarities and differences in LA size assessment among veterinary echocardiographers. Echocardiographers from 67 countries across six continents participated in interactive web-based studies involving image- and video-based investigations. Most echocardiographers used linear two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography from a right parasternal short-axis view for LA size assessment, and indexed LA size to aortic (Ao) dimensions. Despite similar method of use, variations in image selection, timing, and caliper placement were observed. The echocardiographers’ clinical specialist status, the number of weekly echocardiograms performed, and timing affected the mean measurement and the interobserver variation of LA and LA/Ao ratio. Furthermore, the LA size also affected the interobserver variation. Interobserver agreement of subjective assessments of LA size were comparably good, but improved after having performed linear measurements. To conclude, the results presented in this thesis could help pave the way for more consistent and reliable echocardiographic assessment of LA size in veterinary medicine.

Authors: Velayo Clarissa , Torredes Karen Alessandra , Tantoco Christine Vivienne
Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study aims to review the outcomes of monochorionic pregnancies with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) treated with fetal laser photocoagulation (FLP) in the Philippines and to compare these with outcomes from the early experiences of other nearby centers in Southeast and East Asia. Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study of 7 patients who underwent FLP for TTTS before 26 weeks of gestation from June 2021 to March 2024. Preoperative, perioperative, perinatal, and neonatal outcomes were analyzed and a comparison with other Asian centers was performed. Results: Patients treated were in advanced stages III-IV of TTTS (86%). Gestational age at FLP was 22.1 ± 2.8 weeks. The perinatal overall survival rate was 64% with a double survivor rate of 57%, a single survivor rate of 14%, and at least one survivor in 71%. The interval between FLP and delivery was 36.6 ± 25.2 days with age at delivery of 27.1 ± 4.3 weeks. Compared to 5 other Asian centers, procedures performed per year ranged from 2.5 to 14.2 cases. Overall fetal survival rates were between 64 to 82%. Conclusion: Our center’s early experience of treating TTTS with FLP reflects the current conditions of prenatal screening and access to specialized care in the country. Early recognition of TTTS is key to providing patients and their families timely management and support. Devising local standardized assessments for education and performance of FLP, establishing the surgical learning curve, facilitating audits, and initiating research will improve fetal surgery benchmarks in the country.

Published: October 2024

With the proliferation of the Internet, the emergence of various threats has become increasingly prevalent, particularly the danger posed by phishing websites. These websites are designed with malicious content aimed at exploiting users who inadvertently access them. This method of attack represents a significant potential risk for users in cyberspace. The problem of detecting and eliminating phishing websites has garnered significant interest and research within the community. In this study, we propose a set of morphological features in URL path analysis, combined with machine learning methods, to detect phishing website URLs. Experimental evaluation with the UCI Repository dataset results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed feature set in terms of all metrics (Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 Score) compared to previous methods.
Generating efficient circulant-like MDS matrices for implementation
Authors: Luong Tran Thi , Phuong Truong Minh
Published: October 2024

The exploration of maximal distance separable codes (MDS codes) has been a longstanding focus in error-correcting code theory and holds significant relevance in cryptography. Numerous approaches have been investigated for constructing MDS matrices, including deriving them from MDS codes, utilizing Hadamard matrices, Cauchy matrices, Vandermonde matrices, circulant matrices, circulant-like matrices, among others. However, a major challenge for cryptography designers is finding MDS matrices with low implementation cost. In this paper, we propose algorithms for generating efficient circulant-like MDS matrices of size , and  for implementation. Subsequently, we evaluate the fixed points, the number of XOR operations of the proposed MDS matrices, and compare them with MDS matrices of other well-known ciphers. These proposed MDS matrices can become promising candidates for many cryptographic algorithms in the future.
A secure Multi-Frequency Computation Protocol in 2-Part Fully Distributed Setting
Authors: Van Vu Thi , Dung Luong The , Duong Luong Ngoc
Published: October 2024

Secure frequency computation protocols have been researched and applied to address various privacy-preserving problems in machine learning, data mining, and data analysis. However, these protocols only allow for the calculation of a single frequency value in one execution. In this paper, we propose a protocol for calculating multiple secure frequency values concurrently for the 2PFD data model, which is a relatively new distributed data model that has appeared in many practical problems but has not received much attention. The proposed protocol not only maintains the accuracy of the output results and a high level of security but also exhibits good performance.

KEBIJAKAN MONETER DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM
Authors: Remi Reinaldo
Published: October 2024

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kebijakan moneter yang pro kemiskinan ditinjau dari perspektif ekonomi Islam. Metode penulisan bersifat kajian pustaka. Hasil kajian menegaskan bahwa kebijakan moneter di Indonesia melalui BI Rate seringkali menaikkan suku bunga, dan itu berimplikasi keuntungan pada pemodal besar, dan—sebaliknya—menekan geliat usaha pemodal kecil. Berbeda dari kebijakan moneter menurut sistem ekonomi Islam yang selalu mengupayakan pemerataan melalui prinsip keadilan dan pengembangan semangat kekeluargaan. Menekan tingkat equilibrium terhadap permintaan dan penawaran untuk keadilan distribusi kekayaan dan pendapatan. Jadi, penerapan profit and loss sharing serta intermediasi keuangan tidak bisa diterapkan ke dalam sistem moneter Islam, karena bebas dari bunga. Penggunaan instrumen kebijakan melalui kontrol pemerintah yang ketat, dan mengalokasikan pembiayaan secara tepat dan sesuai secara syariah menjadi tujuan ideal kebijakan moneter yang pro kemiskinan.
Practicum Teachers’ Perceptions of Success in Relation to Self-Efficacy (Perceived Competence)
Authors: Anderson Kirk , Walker Keith , Ralph Edwin
Published: October 2024

How do student teachers gain confidence in their teaching abilities as part of their school-based practicum experience while increasing their self-efficacy from the successes of their practicum? To understand this question better, we explored preservice teachers’ post-practicum accounts of experiences of success in relation to efficacy (Bandura, 1977, 1982) with some reflection on motivational perspectives as found in self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Of particular interest are the findings that illuminate the views of post-practicum students toward the formative importance of school cooperating teachers, principals, and vice-principals and their lack of reference to university-based supervisors. Of more general interest are possible connections that support the need for a better understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in relation to perceived competence (self-efficacy) for novice teachers.

In order to study the specific influence path and mechanism of different dimensions under error management culture on employees' innovation behavior, this paper takes the perception of error management atmosphere and employee career resilience as independent variables, psychological empowerment is taken as intermediary variable, active innovation motivation is taken as the moderating variable of psychological empowerment and employee innovation behavior, and employee innovation behavior is taken as the dependent variable. This paper systematically discusses the multi-dimensional and multi-level relationships among error management culture, employee occupational resilience, psychological empowerment, active innovation motivation and employee innovation behavior. The research finds that by enhancing employees' psychological empowerment, that is, making them feel the meaning, self-efficacy, self-determination and influence of work, enterprises can stimulate employees' intrinsic motivation and encourage them to be more actively involved in innovation activities. This research not only enriches our understanding of how organizational culture shapes the way employees behave, but also reveals the critical role that individual employee traits (such as occupational resilience) and psychological states (such as psychological empowerment) play in the innovation process. This paper provides some suggestions on how to build a culture that encourages innovation and tolerates errors.

Published: October 2024

Effect size is a straightforward method for measuring the difference between two groups and plays a critical role in research design and significance testing. This paper addresses the concept of effect size, explaining what it is, how it is calculated, and how it can be interpreted. It also explores related topics, such as statistical significance, meta-analysis, and power analysis. Effect sizes can be understood in the context of confidence intervals, which provide similar information to statistical significance tests but focus more on the magnitude of the effect rather than the size of the sample.

Methodology: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic of a tertiary-care hospital in Imphal-East District of Manipur. A 30-item questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to test for association taking all variables with p < 0.2 for model building for the adjusted analysis. A p value <0.05 was taken as level of significance. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee.
Results: Out of 431 participants, fear of childbirth was seen in 36%. Increasing age of the respondent (AOR: 0.877) and residing in urban area (AOR: 0.548) showed a protective effect but respondents having past history of abortion (AOR: 2.054) and being in the third trimester of pregnancy (AOR: 1.964) were found to have an increased risk of having ‘Fear of childbirth’ (p<0.005).

Published: October 2024

Background: Nocardiosis, a rare but serious infection caused by Gram-positive, aerobic actinomycetes, primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. This report highlights an uncommon case of pulmonary nocardiosis in an immunocompetent patient leading to acute hypoxic respiratory failure.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old male gardener with no significant past medical history presented with acute dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed respiratory distress and hypoxia. Imaging showed bilateral alveolar infiltrates and cavitary lesions. Sputum analysis identified Gram-positive branching filamentous bacteria, and Nocardia species were cultured. HIV test was negative.
Management: The patient was admitted to the ICU and treated with high-flow oxygen therapy and empirical antibiotics (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole [TMP-SMX] and meropenem). Upon culture results, TMP-SMX was continued, and meropenem was discontinued. The patient showed significant improvement and was discharged on oral TMP-SMX for a six-month course.
Discussion: This case underscores the importance of considering pulmonary nocardiosis in acute respiratory failure, even in immunocompetent patients. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
Conclusion: Pulmonary nocardiosis can cause severe respiratory symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to manage this potentially life-threatening condition effectively.

Interest (usury) is a grave sin, and from a Shariah perspective, engaging in interest-based transactions is so detestable that Allah Almighty has equated it in the Holy Quran with declaring war against Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has described the sin of interest is equated with committing fornication with one's mother. The outcome of interest is always destruction and ruin.

The severity of interest-based dealings can be gauged from the fact that its impact is not limited to the person who accept it, but others,like who pays it, the one who writes it and the persons who gives witness to it also become deserving of Allah's curse and are distanced from His mercy. In summary, according to the Quran and Hadith, interest-based dealings and transactions are haram (forbidden).

This paper is an effort to highlight the harms of interest, beginning with a discussion on the condemnation of interest in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. It then clarifies the reality of interest based on the views of commentators of Quran, and finally, it outlines the harms of interest. A qualitative research approach has been adopted in this paper. The researcher has concluded that interest is haram in all its forms and causes numerous economic problems for society. Therefore, it is imperative to eliminate interest from the economy as much as possible.
