ABSTRACT
 
Rendik Juhan Lestiawan (11220867), Quality Analysis of PT Waskita Toll Road's WTR Application Vendor Excellence (TRACE) Application with the Heuristic Evaluation Method.
 
Procurement of Goods and Services is a process to meet the needs of goods and services according to regulations. At PT Waskita Toll Road, the Goods and Services Procurement process involves partner management and provider performance evaluation. One important component of digitization is the Vendor Management System (VMS).  WTR Application Vendor Excellence (TRACE) is an application that facilitates the management of goods and services providers at PT Waskita Toll Road. However, this application faces problems related to an unattractive interface and reduces user interest. This research while assessing TRACE user satisfaction, used the Heuristic Evaluation Method to identify interface problems. The goal is to get identification and recommendation suggestions from the application to make it more comfortable and easy to use. The main data collection uses questionnaire media to 80 respondents who use the TRACE application and data processing is done using SPSS and calculations using a Likert scale. Based on the results of data processing, it can be seen that the results of user perceptions of convenience, information quality and interaction quality are included in the category of good interval value range. From the results of research with 10 aspects of heuristic evaluation for the aspects of Help and Documentation getting the lowest average score, so it needs to be improved even though it is currently not too annoying for users.

A Rare Case of Isolated Paediatric Central Nervous System Melioidosis: An Imaging Chameleon
Authors: Mohamed Nurdiyana , Yahya Muhammad Zakwan , Abdul Samat Muttaqillah Najihan , Hamid Hamzaini Abdul
Published: December 2024

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the agent of melioidosis, can cause multisystemic infections, including rare cases in the central nervous system (CNS). Isolated CNS melioidosis is particularly rare, with a 3% of cases in long-term study. In this region that is high endemicity, risk factors include direct contact with contaminated soil or water, particularly among individual with immunosuppressive condition. Without timely intervention, CNS melioidosis will lead to high mortality and morbidity rate.

Case Presentation: A 6-year-old boy with G6PD deficiency and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B cell ALL) presented with a persistent headache and intermittent fever for two months and vomiting for one day. CNS examination was unremarkable. CT and MRI revealed a right fronto-parietal rim-enhancing lesion with mass effect, suggesting meningeal tuberculoma, infection, or malignancy. Abdominal ultrasound and chest x-ray were negative for abscesses. Craniotomy and tumour excision were performed, and culture confirmed Burkholderia pseudomallei.

Conclusion: Imaging is essential for differentiating CNS melioidosis from malignancy and characterizing the infection. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) on MRI can help distinguish pyogenic abscesses from cystic tumours. The involvement of white matter tracts and brainstem in CNS melioidosis aids differentiation from other infections, like tuberculosis. In endemic regions, CNS melioidosis should be considered in patients with relevant risk factors, clinical suspicion, and radiological evidence. Microbiological diagnosis is vital for early targeted therapy and improved recovery.

Authors: Girault Christian
Published: December 2024

El análisis de la expansión metropolitana de Santo Domingo, la capital de la República Dominicana, parte del proceso de urbanización, desde su fundación en 1496. A pesar del largo letargo económico y de una historia política agitada, la ciudad ha mantenido y reforzado una estrecha relación de identificación con la vida nacional. El artículo enfoca sobre el periodo que empieza en los años 1960 – después del régimen dictatorial de Trujillo y de la intervención militar norteamericana del 1965. La explosión demográfica tiene por consecuencia una urbanización “dependiente” y “desordenada”. A partir del fin del siglo 20, se afirma la etapa de la metropolización. Santo Domingo se beneficia del crecimiento económico del país, de flujos regulares de inversión extranjera y de cuantiosas remesas. La gran metrópoli caribeña combina con éxito el prestigio de su patrimonio histórico –la ciudad colonial– y una función favorable de centralidad en la nueva competición internacional.

Urate crystal in a soy-based formula-fed infant: An unusual clinical presentation
Authors: Mohd Kori Anis Munirah , Ilias Mohamad Ikram
Published: December 2024

Soy-based infant formula may cause isolated hyperuricosuria in infants who consume it as their primary source of nutrition. Soy-based infant formula contains purine, which is converted to uric acid, and two-thirds of the uric acid is eliminated through the kidneys, resulting in hyperuricosuria, which can lead to nephrolithiasis if consumed in excess. A 7-month-old boy who had been consuming soy-based formula since birth presented with his first episode of red crystal during urination. He didn't have any other symptoms. The fractional excretion of uric acid was 35%, which was excessive, nevertheless his serum uric acid level was normal. The ultrasound of Kidney, Ureter and Bladder revealed no nephrolithiasis. He had been treated with potassium citrate to alkalinize his urine and was recommended to switch to cow-based formula milk. After a few weeks of consuming cow-based formula, his urine was clear. Soy-based infant formula can cause isolated hyperuricosuria without inducing nephrolithiasis. Nonetheless, it is critical to rule out secondary causes of hyperuricosuria in infants as soon as symptoms appear. Most of infants with isolated hyperuricosuria are asymptomatic but can cause long term effect of nephrolithiasis which need regular monitoring

La traza de Santa Fe en su fundación y traslado
Authors: Calvo Luis María
Published: December 2024

La ciudad de Santa Fe fue fundada en 1573 y en 1649 se decidió su traslado al sitio actual. Con frecuencia, las ciudades fundadas por españoles en América eran mudadas a nuevas localizaciones para que pudieran subsistir o cumplir mejor los objetivos que les dieron origen (Musset, 2011). De allí que en el acta de fundación de Santa Fe se contemplara esa posibilidad y que a mediados del siglo XVII se decidiera su traslado. En su nuevo asentamiento Santa Fe fue una continuidad jurídica, social y dominial de la anterior y, en términos espaciales, el trazado reprodujo al de la fundación. En 1573, la traza había sido señalada por el fundador y ochenta años más tarde, la de la ciudad trasladada, fue una decisión del Cabildo. La historiografía se ha ocupado de referir esta continuidad y entre los autores, Agustín Zapata Gollan es quien más desarrolló la cuestión (Zapata Gollan, 1971). El presente trabajo se propone avanzar en el tratamiento del tema, desplegando la información contenida en las fuentes escritas para responder a algunas preguntas sobre la extensión de la traza en ambos sitios, las diferencias introducidas a partir de la mudanza y la relación generada con un nuevo entorno fluvial.
En busca de seguridad: migrantes santafesinos durante la temprana época colonial
Authors: Domínguez Verónica , Montserrat María Inés
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo aborda la migración de pobladores santafesinos hacia el sur en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, centrando el análisis en el padrón bonaerense de 1726. Este fenómeno se enmarca en un contexto de inseguridad generado por la conflictividad en la frontera santafesina, que actuó como factor de expulsión. La investigación se inscribe en los estudios sobre movilidad espacial en la época colonial, destacando las limitaciones y potencialidades de las fuentes pre-estadísticas. A partir de un enfoque microanalítico, se busca identificar las características de los migrantes santafesinos y los patrones de asentamiento, contribuyendo a una comprensión más amplia de los procesos sociales y territoriales en la región. Este trabajo se inserta en el marco del Grupo de Trabajo sobre Historia de la Población de la Academia Nacional de la Historia, que ha generado importantes aportes al estudio de la población rural bonaerense en la temprana época colonial.
La flor azul de los historiadores. Egohistoria y autohistoriografía a partir de Francia, Alemania y el mundo angloamericano
Authors: Freijomil Andrés G.
Published: December 2024

Lo que aquí ofreceremos es una somera reflexión sobre la emergencia y persistencia de la “egohistoria”, concepto que, si bien proviene de la tradición francesa, lo utilizaremos para referirnos a toda autobiografía que haya sido escrita por un historiador. La expansión de este fenómeno suele datarse a partir de los años 1970, pero lo cierto es que se trata de un inicio engañoso pues no todas las tradiciones lo han experimentado con igual acento ni en el mismo momento, de hecho, muchas de ellas cuentan con precedentes egohistóricos dispersos y muy tempranos. Si bien es verdad que, a partir de la siguiente década, se observa una producción de egohistorias cada vez más copiosa y frecuente –que, sin duda, los Essais de ego-histoire lanzados por Pierre Nora en 1987 han contribuido a impulsar–, entendemos que no sólo ha sido el modelo francés el que ha habilitado y precipitado esa expansión, sino, particularmente, una serie de “giros” epistemológicos que decantarán, a la postre, en lo que Christopher Lasch ha designado en 1979 como “cultura del narcisismo”. Para ello, partiremos, sin ninguna pretensión de exhaustividad ni tampoco ahondar en las prácticas autobiográficas en sí mismas, de una serie de precedentes generales de las tradiciones francesa, alemana y angloamericana para lo cual tomaremos sólo aquellas coyunturas intelectuales directamente relacionadas con las autobiografías de historiadores y, en segundo término, mediremos, por así decirlo, el pulso de aquellos “giros” que, a partir de los años 1970, presuntamente potenciaron la publicación de este género.
El archivo personal como libro de historia. El “Prospecto” inédito de David Peña, o el íntimo desvelo de un historiador por la publicación de sus obras completas
Authors: Micheletti María Gabriela
Published: December 2024

En un breve “Prospecto” manuscrito, el historiador David Peña (1862-1930) alentó el anhelo de publicar sus obras completas y dejó esbozada la presunción de que el material contenido en su “archivo particular” podía ser considerado “elemento de historia”. En esta “pulsión de archivo” (Derrida, 1997), Peña se erigía como la autoridad que diseñaba cuáles de sus papeles personales ameritaban ser seleccionados y dados a conocer al público, a la vez que vislumbraba las potencialidades inherentes a las escrituras de carácter autobiográfico para los estudios de historia. A la luz de las tendencias actuales, que destacan la importancia de las “escrituras del yo” o “egodocumentos” para la historia de la historiografía (Aurell, 2006), y de la reactualización de la noción de “archivo”, este artículo considera la valoración que David Peña realizó sobre su propia producción y la utilización que hizo de la escritura autobiográfica como recurso metodológico, y discurre sobre la idea de concebir al archivo personal de un autor, como formando parte de su obra histórica. Para llevar adelante esta exploración se ha consultado el Fondo David Peña, que se encuentra preservado en la Academia Nacional de la Historia de Argentina, complementado con otras producciones del autor.
Empatia: A Chave para Combater o Bullying entre Crianças e Adolescentes
Authors: CUNHA Maria Nascimento
Published: December 2024

The increase in the occurrence of bullying situations in schools has been a matter of concern for society in general. Bullying is defined as an aggressive, systematic behavior, prolonged over time and in an imbalance of power, which affects children and young people with great intensity, harming their healthy development, with effects in the short and long term. The promotion of empathy has been pointed out in the literature as an element of inhibition or reduction of this type of violent behavior, since the more empathic capacity is developed, the more chances there are to recognize inadequate attitudes that cause suffering and changes in behavior. The present study sought, through a systematic literature review, based on the research of empirical studies in the B-On database, between the year 2006 and 2021, to understand if in fact there is a relationship between the variables and how promoting empathy helps fight bullying. It is concluded that empathy has a fundamental role in the prevention of bullying in children and adolescents because it contributes to the inhibition of aggressive behavior and to the increase of moral behavior.

Published: December 2024

Well water samples were taken from six different locations at Sapele Local Government Area in Delta State, Nigeria. The samples were properly collected and in-situ analysis were done for some physicochemical parameters such as conductivity, turbidity, pH and temperature using a calibrated Search Tech, PHS-7010 multimeter. The Chloride, calcium, alkalinity and total hardness determinations were done titrimetrically while gravimetric method was used to analyze the total dissolved solids and total suspended solids of the water samples. The concentrations of heavy metals (zinc, lead and cadmium) were assayed using Varian AA240 atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS). Additionally, bacteriological examination of the water samples was conducted using Inoculation method to determine the level of microbial contamination such as faecal coliform and Escherichia coli (E. coli) count, to assess the water qualities potential health risks. The results obtained from physicochemical analysis gave the following range: conductivity (110.6 – 130.7µs/cm), pH (5.00 – 6.90), temperature (21.00 – 23.00 0C), chloride (0.00 – 17.70mg/L), Calcium (0.00 – 1.92mg/L), total dissolved solids (50.90 – 69.20 mg/L), turbidity (0.00 – 2.00 NTU), alkalinity (10.80 – 13.60 mg/L), total hardness (6.28- 8.65mg/L) and total suspended solids (not detected in any of the samples). Concentrations of the heavy metals determination showed that Zn ranged from 0.012 – 0.080mg/L, there was no trace of Pb and Cd. Bacteriological analysis indicated that samples did not meet the standard of world health organization (WHO) as they contained fecal coliforms (1.4×102 – 7×102 CFU/mL). Based on the results obtained from all the analysis, the physicochemical parameters and heavy metals fell under permissible limit by world health organization (WHO) but bacteriological parameters did not. Hence, the water should be treated before consumption.

Authors: Benfars Mohammed , Alioui Abdelmounaim , Azalam Youness , Kaddiri Mourad , Mabrouki Mustapha
Published: December 2024

The roof is the most exposed element of a building's envelope and significantly contributes to cooling loads in hot climates. Effective thermal insulation of the roof can substantially reduce energy consumption for cooling and help achieve sustainability goals. This theoretical study focuses on the thermal and energy performance of an eco-friendly insulation material, aiming to determine the optimal thickness for the roof of a traditional residential building in the semi-arid climate. The study evaluated the effectiveness of an insulation material composed of 60% cardboard and 40% straw, with varying thicknesses. TRNSYS software was used to simulate the thermal behavior of the building. The study's results reveal that the optimal thickness is 4 cm, providing the best thermal performance by reducing maximum indoor temperatures by 2.67°C during the hottest months, leading to a 37.93% reduction in annual cooling energy demand. Furthermore, the 4 cm panels represent the best compromise between thermal performance, resource efficiency, and economic feasibility. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights for the design of more energy-efficient buildings through optimized thermal insulation. Future research should explore additional factors influencing building performance, such as the long-term durability of materials in different climates, as well as the impact of building occupancy and orientation. Although this study has certain limitations in its analysis of specific parameters and alternatives, it makes a significant contribution to understanding the performance of buildings with ecological insulation.
Vibration Control of Tapering E-FGM Porous Wind Turbine Blades Using Piezoelectric Materials
Authors: El Harti Khalid , Touil Mohamed , Saadani Rachid , Rahmoune Miloud
Published: December 2024

Piezoelectric materials have many interesting applications thanks to their ability to generate an electrical voltage when subjected to mechanical pressure, and vice versa. In the field of vibration energy recovery, these materials can convert mechanical vibrations into electrical energy. For example, piezoelectric sensors integrated into roads or pavements can generate electricity from vibrations caused by vehicles or pedestrians. In the field of wind turbines, the vibratory control of wind turbine blades can increase the overall efficiency of these systems. Additionally, composite materials are being increasingly integrated into the construction of mechanical systems, and specifically FGM materials. This work focuses on the active vibration control of FGM beams with non-uniform cross-sections, using piezoelectric materials. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory combined with the FEM is applied to an FGM beam. The equation of motion is generated using Hamilton's principle.
Study of the Gravimetric, Electronic and Thermoelectric Properties of XAlH3 (X = Be, Na, K) as hydrogen storage perovskite using DFT and the BoltzTrap Software Package
Authors: Koufi Ayoub , Ziat Younes , Belkhanchi Hamza
Published: December 2024

In the context of density functional theory (DFT), this study examines the structural, electronic, gravimetric and thermoelectric properties of perovskite compounds XAlH3 (X = Be, Na and K) using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Calculations were performed with the BoltzTrap software package integrated into the Wien2k code, enabling analysis of total energy and atomic volume using the Murnaghan equation of state. The results show that the materials behave like conductors due to the overlap of the conduction band and the valence band, with a zero band gap. NaAlH3 and KAlH3 show increasing electrical and thermal conductivity with temperature, while BeAlH3 exhibits non-linear behavior, peaking at 400 K. These results suggest that XAlH3 materials are promising for hydrogen storage applications and thermoelectric devices, underlining their potential to support a sustainable hydrogen economy.
Phosphorus Doping Effects on the Optoelectronic Properties of K₂AgAsBr₆ Double Perovskites for Photovoltaic Applications
Authors: Laassouli Abdelmounaim , Moulaoui Lhouceine , Najim Abdelhafid , Errahoui Hamza , Rahmani Khalid , Lachtioui Youssef , Omar Bajjou Omar Bajjou
Published: December 2024

This work explores the modifications of optoelectronic properties in K₂AgAsBr₆ double perovskites induced by phosphorus doping. First-principles calculations using the CASTEP code with the PBE functional were carried out based on density functional theory (DFT). Our research investigates the electronic structure and optical behavior of the cubic Fm-3m phase of K₂AgAsBr₆, K₂AgAs₀.₈P₀.₂Br₆, and K₂AgAs₀.₆P₀.₄Br₆ to elucidate the impact of progressive phosphorus (P) substitution. P was chosen for its potential to modify the electronic structure due to its smaller atomic radius and different valence orbital energies compared to As. Our results reveal a systematic narrowing of the band gap with increasing P content, from 0.749 eV for the undoped compound to 0.587 eV for K₂AgAs₀.₈P₀.₂Br₆ and 0.424 eV for K₂AgAs₀.₆P₀.₄Br₆. This trend is attributed to the upward shift of the valence band maximum due to the higher energy of P 3p orbitals compared to As 4p orbitals. Analysis of the density of states confirms increased hybridization between P-p and As-p states at the valence band edge. Optical properties, including absorption coefficient, dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction coefficient, demonstrate a consistent red-shift and broadening of spectral features with P doping. Notably, P-substituted compounds exhibit enhanced absorption in the visible light region, with up to a 20% increase in the absorption coefficient at 550 nm for K₂AgAs₀.₆P₀.₄Br₆ compared to the undoped compound. This study reveals that elemental substitution offers a viable route to tailor optical and electronic properties of double perovskites, paving the way for the design of novel materials for next-generation photovoltaic and photoelectric devices.
CRIMINAL ASPECTS OF EUTHANASIA IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Authors: Bingulac Nenad , Borka Adrian
Published: December 2024

The question of legal and medical regulation of the right to euthanasia, although the action itself has been performed since the existence of humanity, was raised in the 20th century. Then the regulation of this issue begins, bearing in mind that it was actually implemented, and that it could lead to abuses and extermination of certain nations. With the legal regulation of this issue, discussions begin, primarily legal and medical, but also philosophical, moral, sociological and religious. And while some states regulats, whether they expressly prohibit or allow it, certain states do not regulate the legal aspect of euthanasia. Certainly, any regulation is better than the absence of any legal norms governing this issue, which leave room for arbitrariness and abuse. In the paper, I emphasize the connection between the right to life and the right to die, individual and general interest. In addition to the above, I point out the arguments for and against euthanasia, clarify the concept of euthanasia and the forms of euthanasia, emphasize the criminal law aspect of euthanasia, as well as how this issue is legally regulated in the law of the Republic of Serbia.
THE INSTITUTE OF PLEA BARGAIN IN THE LEGISLATION OF MONTENEGRO AND CHALLENGES IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION
Authors: Mrvaljević Dzenana
Published: December 2024

The subject of research in this paper is the institute of Plea bargaining. The starting point of the research is the positive-legal method, having in mind that only by a detailed analysis of solutions accepted in the domestic legal system can we assess the scope, practical implications, as well as inadequacies and imperfections in the way of regulating the institute or practice, which are the subject of this research. The author points out the numerous shortcomings in the legal regulation of the institute. In order to determine the effectiveness of the plea bargain, and to identify practical repercussions, we conducted empirical research in the form of a survey i.e. a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed as a means of surveying 189 judiciary civil servants - judges, prosecutors and lawyers, in order to find out how people who do not create, but only implement legal norms, feel about this institute, to what extent they use its solutions, whether they find it justified, if they consider it necessary and appropriate, what their impressions regarding the first few years of implementation of this institute are; what the directions of its further upgrading are, and whether the practical application of this institute attains the appropriate results. Finally, by using a critical method the author gave an overview of the issues related to the plea bargain.
PROFILING OF PROSTITUTES
Authors: Bjelajac Željko
Published: December 2024

There is a significant number of authors who have explored the phenomenology and etiology of prostitution as "the oldest profession," whose roots reach far back through history. It is evident that such an approach lacks coherence. Therefore, this paper includes various aspects of prostitution, focusing on the personal experiences and characteristics of women engaged in this profession. It analyzes different factors, traumas, and behavior patterns that lead women into prostitution, highlighting the repercussions on mental and physical health and the symptomatology of post-traumatic stress disorder. Through a socioeconomic and psychological profile of prostitutes, this paper introduces the concept of criminal profiling as an important tool and protective factor in a proactive approach to prevent young girls and women from entering the delinquent world of prostitution. It examines how profiling can aid in understanding antisocial behaviors and preventive actions starting in adolescence, addressing issues related to this social phenomenon both before its manifestation and, retrospectively, after it has occurred. The methods applied include quantitative and qualitative content analysis, comparative analysis (responses to prostitution), and descriptive and analytical statistics. The aim of this paper is to identify flexible risk factors, as well as protective factors, through the profiling concept, which can be planned in preventive and intervention strategies in pursuit of an effective community response in prostitution prevention policies.
Sex and income level can be determinants for meat attachment behavior among Turkish university students
Authors: Günalan Elif , Parmaksiz Ayhan , Mutlu Hayrettin
Published: December 2024

Background: The Meat Attachment Questionnaire (MAQ) is a scale to measure the positive bond in meat consumption.
Aims: This study aimed to validate and assess reliability of the Turkish version of the MAQ and to explore its relationship with various factors, including sociodemographic characteristics, meat consumption habits, and subscales of the Green Eating Survey (GES).
Subjects and Methods: The study was carried out with 214 university students. Participants completed the MAQ, the Food Frequency Questionnaire, and the GES. Statistical analyses including item analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient test - retest reliability, one-way ANOVA, Welch ANOVA, t-test, Pearson’s correlation, and post hoc tests (Tukey’s HSD and Games-Howell), were performed using SPSS (version 26). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted with the lavaan (version 0.6 – 13) and semPlot (version 1.1.6) R packages.
Results: All factor loadings were statistically significant, and high fit indices were obtained for the model tested in the second-order CFA model. (χ2/df = 151,93/101 = 1.50; RMSEA = 0.05; SRMR = 0.08; NFI = 0.97; NNFI = 0.99; CFI = 0.99; GFI = 0.98; AGFI = 0.97). Significant differences were found in several MAQ subscale scores: hedonism, entitlement, dependence, and global scores were higher among men (p < 0.05). The entitlement score was significantly higher in the “income < expenses “group compared to the “income = expenses “group (p < 0.05). Participants with higher red meat and poultry consumption exhibited significantly higher hedonism, dependence, and global MAQ scores (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The Turkish version of the MAQ can be accepted as a reliable and valid scale for use among university students. While factors such as sex, income level, and meat consumption appear to influence MAQ scores, body mass index and green eating behaviors do not have a direct effect.

Keywords: Green eating, meat, reliability, sustainability, validity.
