Об операторах смежности локально конечных графов
Authors: Trofimov Vladimir Ivanovich
Published: May 2024

Граф $\Gamma$ называется локально конечным, если у графа $\Gamma$ для каждой вершины $v$ множество $\Gamma(v)$ смежных с ней вершин конечно. Для произвольного локально конечного графа $\Gamma$ с множеством вершин $V(\Gamma)$ и произвольного поля $F$ на $F^{V(\Gamma)}$ (векторном пространстве над $F$ всех функций $V(\Gamma) \to F$ с естественными покомпонентными операциями) определен линейный оператор $A^{(\mathrm{alg})}_{\Gamma,F}\colon F^{V(\Gamma)} \to F^{V(\Gamma)}$, посредством $(A^{(\mathrm{alg})}_{\Gamma,F}(f))(v)=\sum_{u \in \Gamma(v)}f(u)$ для всех $f\in F^{V(\Gamma)}$, $v \in V(\Gamma)$. В случае конечного графа $\Gamma$ отображение $A^{(\mathrm{alg})}_{\Gamma,F}$ есть хорошо известный оператор, определяемый матрицей смежности графа $\Gamma$ (над $F$), и теория собственных значений и собственных функций таких операторов составляет (по крайней мере, в случае $F=\mathbb{C}$) хорошо разработанный раздел теории конечных графов. В настоящей работе разрабатывается теория собственных значений и собственных функций операторов $A^{(\mathrm{alg})}_{\Gamma,F}$ для бесконечных локально конечных графов $\Gamma$ (впрочем, отдельные ее результаты могут представлять интерес для конечных графов) и произвольных полей $F$, хотя особый акцент делается на случай, когда $\Gamma$ - связный граф с ограниченными в совокупности степенями вершин и $F=\mathbb{C}$. Предпринимавшиеся ранее попытки в этом направлении не были, по мнению автора, вполне удовлетворительными в том смысле, что ограничивались рассмотрением лишь собственных функций весьма специального вида (и соответствующих им собственных значений).

This study focuses on the Effects of multicultura counseling challenges facing the youths in Kenya. The study was conducted in Kisii County with a target population of 300 youths who reside in Kisii town. The sample size was 100 youths who are either studying at the universities within Kisii Town or working in central business district (CBD) of Kisii town. The study objectives was to establish multicultural counseling approaches and the effects on the youths. The study used psychoanalysis/ psychodynamics theories and humanistic of Carl Rogers of client therapy which indicated that client controls their own destiny. conceptual frame work indicating how independent and dependent variables interact was used. The study is of significance to the youths in Kisii who might use the findings to develop strategies and modalities of approaching their challenges. The government policy makers will also find it important in developing appropriate polices that empower the youth as thy approach their challenges. To the County government, the study will inform the decision- making on the more convenient counseling approaches to be used when handling youth’s behavior problems. The study found out that the youths in Kisii cosmopolitan have multicultural awareness, the study further, revealed that youths have been hoping from one denomination to another, this was because, there is no well-established multicultural counselling. The counselling procedure used should consider the cultural values, gender, and the perspectives of the clients.

Effect of Curing Age on the Prospect of Used Plastics to Enhance Engineering Properties of Road Pavements within a Development and Property Agency Estate in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Ogbe C. F. , Iyeke S. D. , Ogirigbo O. R.
Published: May 2024

This study investigated the effect of curing age on the possibility of using plastic powder to enhance the engineering properties of subgrade for road pavements. The soil samples utilized for the study were collected from four distinct locations within the Edo Development and Property Agency estate in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria using appropriate standard methods. They were stored in airtight polythene bags and taken to the University of Benin Geotechnical Laboratory for testing. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics sourced from recycled soft drink and bottled water containers were pulverized and added to the soil in various proportions of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight of the soil. The resulting mix was subjected to various tests such as Atterberg limits, compaction and California Bearing Ratio (CBR). The results showed that the addition of the PET plastic powder led to substantial transformation in the soil’s properties. There was a reduction in the liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index, as the proportion of the plastic powder increased. The maximum dry density (MDD) and the optimum moisture content (OMC) was also seen to increase and decrease correspondingly as the proportion of the plastic powder was increased in the soil. The results also showed that as proportion of the plastic powder in the soil was increased, the CBR of the soil also increased. This increase in the soil strength was also observed as the curing age of the CBR samples increased from 0 to 14 days. This shows that a combination of extended curing periods and a larger proportion of plastic powder can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity and saturation resistance of the soil. This study underscores the considerable potential of plastic powder stabilization in elevating the engineering properties of subgrade materials, thereby conferring notable benefits to the domain of road pavement construction.
Bezpieczeństwo na przejściu dla pieszych – polemika
Authors: Krzemie Piotr
Published: June 2024

The paper is a polemic against the paper called “Safety at pedestrian crossings in light of the amended provisions of the Act on Road Traffic” by Ł. Trzeciak published in the issue 1/2023 of Paragraph on the Road. The criticism concerns incorrectness and false-ness of referring to some matter, inadequacy of some quoted rulings. In the paper in question there is in fact no priority linguistic interpretation, and, above all, there is a lack of the application of strict directives of the interpretation of restrictive regulations, and the objective in the functional interpretation is defined incorrectly. The polemic also presents a few new arguments in favor of inadmissibility of the interpretation proposed by Ł. Trzeciak. The author of the present polemic consistently holds the view that the “entering” pedestrian is one that moves on the threshold of the crossing and that from the definition of giving way to pedestrian it does not in the least follow that the pedes-trian always must cross the zebra crossing before a vehicle enters it.
Reconciling what is and was: hybrid and remixed literature in an environmental time
Authors: Tietz Ward
Published: June 2024

Recent literary developments, in digital culture and in marginal and hybrid forms, offer us new ways to reconcile our relationship with time, history and human agency. Remixed and hybrid forms, as shown, can unify disparate rhythms and frames, different temporal references from different historical periods, in one synthesized rhythmico-temporal environment. In a perceiving subject, the experience highlights a general poiesis of making and presents itself as a form of agency that can be applied to everyday life through an enhanced understanding of time, rhythm and material culture.
« Faire des mots des yeux ». La philologie et les images chez Georges Didi-Huberman
Authors: Marin Laura
Published: June 2024

The article proposes an examination of the relations Georges Didi-Huberman’s work establishes between the discipline of philology and the knowledge he applies to images as cultural objects. More precisely, it identifies what are the use values that Georges Didi-Huberman assigns to philology. The argument is constructed semantically, looking at his usage of the word (including derived nouns or adjectives), and also practically, focusing on his writing practice. The analysis is grounded in a distinction between iconologic and imaginative approaches to the study of images.
Objects of philology or philology of the objects? Orhan Pamuk’s The Museum of Innocence. Between material culture, memory and narrative
Authors: Maraucci Tina , Saraçgil Ayşe
Published: June 2024

This article reflects on material objects and the practice of collecting as literary subject linked to the themes of memory and past in contemporary Turkish fiction. The analysis focuses mainly on Orhan Pamuk’s The Museum of Innocence considering the objects exhibited both in the novel and the museum as narrative texts of subjective and collective memories. In order to better understand Pamuk’s works we will preliminarily reconstruct the intertextual chain that preceded such a specific approach to material culture, having particular reference to Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s first novel Mahur Beste. By comparing both the authors’ poetics of objects we aim at highlighting the intimate reasons which made this subject a peculiar topos in modern Turkish literary tradition.

Authors: Gadomska Katarzyna
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the main premises of Tomasz Kaczmarek’s and Anna Jarosz’s lexicon: Il linguaggio dello spettacolo. Lessico italiano-polaccodel teatro, del cinema, dello radio et della televisione. The aim of the publication is to present the specificity of the language of artistic performances, like theatre, cinema, radio, television. The authors rely on the concept of language of the artistic performance as a field at the crossroads of several codes (verbal, visual, sound, gestural) interacting on stage. This interdisciplinary publication has an encyclopedic value, but also synthesizes theoretical and historical knowledge in the above-mentioned scope.

Published: June 2024

This text is a discussion of the latest volume of Noul Atlas lingvistic român, pe regiuni. Moldova şi Bucovina, published in 2022. Although the structure of the volumes published so far is preserved, we cannot ignore the technical novelties (the editing is done with the help of a computer-aided editing software, the result of the cooperation between dialectologists and computer scientists). The documentary material contained in this volume (relating to time, meteorology, relief, school, army, administration, trade) is interesting both for researchers in the fields of dialectology, history of the Romanian language, toponymy, ethnography, and for the general public. Referring to some of the maps in this volume, we have shown their importance for the onomasiological study of some terms.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to perceived increases in the rates of complicated appendicitis. Multiple studies have shown, both in adults and children, higher rates of complicated appendicitis among patients with Medicaid insurance. At our institution, we previously found that, contrary to statewide and nationwide findings, no differences in complicated appendicitis rates existed based on age, sex, race, insurance status, socioeconomic status, and income level. The purpose of this study was to determine if the COVID-19 pandemic altered our previous findings.

Methods: The electronic medical record of a large tertiary children’s hospital was queried for all patients with ICD 10 appendicitis codes from 1/1/2017-12/31/2020. Patient records were reviewed to determine complicated (defined as having either a hole in the appendix, extraluminal fecalith, well-formed abscess, or frank stool in the abdomen) vs. uncomplicated appendicitis. Demographic information including age, sex, race, ethnicity, and insurance type were collected. Rates of complicated appendicitis were compared across years. Correlation between rates of complicated appendicitis and demographic variables was determined both within and across years.

Results: The rate of complicated appendicitis was not significantly different across years from 2017-2020. There was no significant difference in the rate of complicated appendicitis based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, or insurance type.

Conclusion: While some U.S. centers and those abroad found a significantly higher rate of complicated appendicitis in 2020 compared to prior years, the rate of complicated appendicitis at a large tertiary children’s hospital did not change during the pandemic. No disparities exist based on age, sex, race, ethnicity, or insurance type.

Published: June 2024

Depremin yapılar üzerindeki etkisinin kontrol edilemeyen çevresel birçok etkene bağlı olmasının yanı sıra kontrol edilebilen ve minimum hasarla atlatılmasını sağlayacak mimari çözümler de mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada yürürlükteki yönetmeliğe göre uygulanması gereken kurallar ve önemi hakkında genel bilgiler sunulurken, yapıların deprem anında hasar almasını etkileyen mimari ölçekli faktörler (mimari plan ve uygulama etkenleri) ele alınarak, bu faktörlerden kaynaklı hasar etkisini en aza indirgeyecek çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur. Ayrıca depremde ağır hasar almış ve kentsel dönüşüme girerek yeniden projelendirilmiş bir binanın açıklanan mimari faktörler çerçevesinde detaylı incelemesi yapılarak depreme dayanıklılığı değerlendirilmiştir. Bu değerlendirmelerde yapının, ilk yapım dönemindeki yönetmeliklere uygun olmasına rağmen deprem anında hasar aldığı ve günümüz yönetmelikleri kapsamında tekrar tasarlandığı görülmektedir. Çalışmada, yönetmeliklerin gelişimi de incelenirken, aynı zamanda yapıda düzensizlik yaratmayacak tasarımlar ile depreme dayanıklılık hedeflenmektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, yapının mimari ölçekte hasar almasına etki eden faktörlerinin ortadan kaldırılmasının dışında, geniş kapsamlı tasarım ve planlama süreci ile birlikte sadece mimari ölçekte değil tüm ölçeklerde detaylı araştırma ve analizler ile yapıların ve bununla birlikte de şehirlerin yeniden inşasının gerçekleştirilmesi gerekliliği sonucuna varılmaktadır.

Published: June 2024

Çalışmanın amacı bina yüksekliği ve yol genişliği oranlarının dirençlilik ölçütü olarak ele alınması ve seçilen alanların bu kapsamda değerlendirilerek risk durumlarının saptanmasıdır. Çalışmada yakın dönemde üç büyük deprem geçirmiş Elazığ kentinde, kırılganlığın yüksek olduğu, kentsel dönüşüm uygulamalarının yapıldığı alanların yol/ bina değişkenleri kapsamında analiz edilmesi ve risk durumuna ilişkin veriler elde edilerek öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İncelenen çalışma alanlarında mevcut dokunun ve gelecekte inşa edilecek dokunun bina ve yol oranlarının yönetmeliklere ve bina/yol oranlarının ideal değer aralığına uygun olmadığı görülmüştür. Risk sınıfı bulgularına göre yeni imar planıyla risk düzeyi artmaktadır. Araştırma, bina yüksekliği ve yol genişliği oranlarının risk düzeyini etkileyen önemli bir ölçüt olduğunu, kentsel planlama ve tasarımda kırılganlığın azaltıldığı çevreler üretmek için göz önüne alınması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu ölçütler, kentsel dirençlilikle ilgili diğer konu başlıklarıyla ve farklı ölçüt gruplarıyla birleştirilerek değerlendirme kapsamı genişletilebilir.

Published: May 2024

This study attempts to investigate the geotechnical properties of subsoils in an active Dumpsite (DS) within the basement complex area of Abeokuta, Nigeria with a view to assess its suitability as a foundation/filling material. Sixteen (16) composite soil samples were collected from four different parts of the DS at varied depths of 0.0 - 0.5, 0.5 - 1.0, 1.0 - 1.5, and 1.5 - 2.0 m. The soil properties considered are particle size distribution, Specific Gravity (SG), permeability, Shear Strength (SS), Maximum Dry Density (MDD), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), Natural Moisture Content (NMC) and Atterberg limit (AL) indices. Results show that the assessed soil samples are sandy soils with less than 30% clay content. The ALs test revealed that analysed samples had low Plasticity index (PI) (0.20 - 11.96%), low values of Plastic Limit (PL) and Liquid Limit (LL) of (14.19 - 18.83% and 17.52 - 26.15%, respectively). The MDD values ranged from 1.07 to 1.76 g/cm3 while the NMC and OMC were <25% and <18%, respectively. The permeability coefficients ranged from 1.53 x 10−4 to 8.49 x 10−3 cm/s, indicating moderately permeable soil while the SS results (ranging from 3.4 to 12.5 KPa) indicate low cohesive capacity soils. The tested soils are mildly suitable for foundation/filling materials. Further study is needed to study the trend of alteration of soil properties with depth on dumpsite soil located on other geological formations.
Assessment of Deposited Red Clay Soil in Kirkuk City Using Remote Sensing Data and GIS Techniques
Authors: Salahalden V. F. , Shareef M. A. , Nuaimy Q. A. M. Al
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the physical characteristics of red clay using the IDW approach and linear regression modeling in an area of 268.12 km2, focusing on Kirkuk, Bor, and Jambor structures. Through the analysis of 52 soil samples and the integration of laboratory data with IDW and regression results, several significant findings have emerged. The IDW method combined with linear regression proves to be a cost-effective and efficient approach for obtaining soil property data and generating accurate digital maps of red clay’s physical features. The Silt concentration exhibits a wide range, while the gravel content remains relatively low, indicating the predominance of silt in the soil composition. Analysis of Atterberg limits reveals the soil’s behavior and consistency in response to moisture, with the plasticity index generally falling within the low to medium range due to the considerable silt content in most soil samples. The linear regression model highlights positive correlations between the liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index. Moderately positive relationships exist between the liquid limit and clay content, as well as a weak positive association between the liquid limit and specific gravity. Dry density, on the other hand, shows no significant correlation with other physical variables, suggesting its independence from the measured parameters. The plastic limit demonstrates a stronger relationship with the clay content compared to the liquid limit. Additionally, weak positive correlations are found between the liquid limit, plastic limit, and specific gravity and water content, indicating the influence of moisture on these parameters. Furthermore, gravel exhibits a moderate positive correlation with sand and silt concentrations, while a strong positive correlation is observed between sand and silt contents, underscoring their close association with the soil composition.

Authors: Dey Shipa Rani , Kumar Prasann , Singh Joginder
Published: June 2024

The total soluble protein-mediated morphological traits in mustard treated with Thiourea and Salicylic acid were investigated. In addition, it tested the hypothesis that the growth regulator salicylic acid protects the photosynthetic apparatus by up-regulating morphological traits. Under natural environmental conditions, seeds were sown in the field, and seed emergence was recorded. For three days after the 15-day stage, plants in the area were treated with thiourea and salicylic acid and allowed to grow for 90 days. Plants were harvested to assess various morphological traits. A follow-up application of SA and Thiourea plants improved plant height, leaf area, internodal length, leaf number, and accelerated plant activity. The up-regulation of morphological traits may have occurred in SA and Thiourea-mediated plants. After treatments, the level of total soluble protein was estimated in the leaves at proposed day intervals.

Authors: Vincy M. V. , Brilliant R.
Published: June 2024

The Vamanapuram River Basin (VRB) is home to a diverse range of plant species, including 152 distinct species from 50 botanical families. Poaceae, Leguminosae, Araceae, and Aseraceae are the most abundant, with 13 species. Euphorbiaceae, Acanthaceae, Apocynaceae, and Rubiaceae also contribute to the biodiversity hotspots. The VRB’s vegetation profile is characterized by a dynamic interplay of plant forms and ecological niches, with 74 herbs, 30 shrubs, 12 grasses, 1 liana, and 35 towering trees. The Poaceae family thrives in this environment due to hydrological factors. The sampling sites P6 and P5 exhibit high relative frequency and density, with key species like Macaranga peltata, Ficus hispida, and Swietenia macrophylla. Diversity indices like the Shannon-Wiener diversity index reaffirm the VRB’s tropical forest character. Beta-diversity patterns reveal unique plant species distribution dynamics among different panchayaths, emphasizing their ecological complexities. The study emphasizes the demand for specialized management and conservation techniques in this environmentally active region.

Published: June 2024

The primary goal of this research is to isolate mycotoxin-producing fungus from the Nagavali River. Examining isolated fungi involved analyzing their mycelium growth on culture media and detailed microscopic inspection. We employed PCR analysis utilizing universal primers ITS1 and ITS4 to accurately identify the species. Furthermore, we sequenced the amplified ITS region and rigorously analyzed the sequences using NCBI-BLASTn and the ITS2 database. The analysis found a high 96.38% genetic similarity to the Aspergillus flavus strain, resulting in a 600-base pair fragment size. The sequence was given the accession number OR536222 in the NCBI GenBank database. Phylogenetic analysis was performed to ascertain the particular strain of A. flavus and its source. Remarkably, this analysis led to the identification of a single new strain gene, which represents a novel discovery in the field of fungal research. These results underscore the vital significance of molecular techniques in promptly and precisely identifying organisms. This research enhances our understanding of mycotoxin contamination in water, providing valuable insights to improve detection and prevention strategies. It accentuates the overarching importance of conserving our water resources and upholding ecological equilibrium, ultimately safeguarding the well-being of both humanity and the environment.

Published: June 2024

Access to affordable and reliable energy sources can substantially enhance the lives of marginalized communities in rural areas. Unfortunately, numerous households in these communities rely upon unclean sources of energy such as kerosene to light the house even during daylight. To address this issue, solar off-grid technology - Micro Solar Dome (MSD) was implemented in various states across India, specifically benefiting the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe communities. The study, across the eight selected states, highlights the advantages of adopting off-grid technologies and their roles in promoting awareness of renewable energy solutions. The survey used purposive sampling to collect community members’ perceptions of the product’s benefits and their awareness of renewable technologies. The results indicated that the utilization of the product not only enhanced illumination levels within households but also contributed to improved safety, increased study hours for children, and facilitated economic activities during the evening hours. Furthermore, the study revealed that education plays a crucial role in adopting solar energy. However, interventions such as awareness programs and hands-on experiences with the products can also greatly enhance awareness and promote adoption in rural areas. Overall, the study provided compelling evidence of the significant and positive impact that small-scale initiatives like the MSD can have on the lives of marginalized communities. It also emphasized the potential of such solutions to empower these communities and improve their overall well-being.

Authors: Jaspe-Santander Christsam Joy S. , Tabañag Ian Dominic F.
Published: June 2024

The study presented aims to find the most appropriate climate dataset for the data-scarce Jalaur River Basin (JRB), Iloilo, Philippines, by evaluating the statistical performance of five rainfall datasets (APHRODITE, CPC NOAA, ERA5, SA-OBS, and PGF-V3) with resolutions of 0.25° and 0.5° having a time domain of 1981 to 2005. Bilinear interpolation implemented through Climate Data Operator (CDO) was used to extract and process grid climate datasets with Linear scaling as bias correction to minimize product simulation uncertainties. The datasets were compared to the lone meteorological station nearest to JRB investigated at monthly and annual timescales using six statistical metrics, namely, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), coefficient of determination (R2), modified index of agreement (d1), Kling-Gupta efficiency, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), and RMSE-observations standard deviation ratio (RSR). The results indicate a strong positive correlation with the observed data for both rainfall and temperature (r > 0.8; R2, d1 > 0.80). Although graphical observation shows an underestimation of rainfall, goodness-of-fit values indicate very good model performance (NSE, KGE > 0.75; RSR < 0.50). In terms of temperature, variable responses are observed with significant overestimation for maximum temperature and underestimation for minimum temperature. SA-OBS proved to be the best-performing dataset, followed by ERA5 and PGF-V3. These key findings supply useful information in deciding the most appropriate gridded climate dataset for hydrometeorological investigation in the JRB and could enhance the regional representation of global datasets.

Published: May 2024

Inventory forecasting is crucial in effective supply chain management and cost reduction. However, traditional forecasting techniques face significant challenges due to the complexity and variability of demand patterns. This study explores the use of K-means clustering, a data-driven approach that can improve inventory forecasting accuracy. By grouping inventory items based on their unique demand profiles, we can create personalized forecasting models for each cluster. This technique enhances demand estimation, helping businesses make informed decisions and optimize their inventory. Our research delves into the use of K-means clustering to identify patterns and similarities within historical demand data. This clustering process divides inventory items into groups with similar demand characteristics. By applying specific forecasting models to each cluster, we achieve greater precision in our predictions. The proposed methodology is rigorously evaluated using real-world inventory datasets, and the results demonstrate its significant superiority in forecasting accuracy compared to conventional non-clustered methods. This study offers compelling evidence and valuable insights for practitioners seeking to improve their inventory management practices through data-driven techniques.
Legal Protection of Auction Winners Against the Execution of Dependent Rights
Authors: Octavian Verri
Published: June 2024

According to Article 14 of the Law on Dependency Rights, dependency right enforcement can be executed through a parate of execution or a fiat execution by State courts. However, legal certainty is not absolute; if a debtor fails to repay the debt, the creditor's liability is settled by selling the secured object through a public auction. This study investigates the legal consequences of the auction process, particularly the transfer of auctioned property rights to the winner. Using empirical juris and analytical descriptive research, primary and secondary data were gathered through library research and qualitatively analyzed. Auction winners may request the local state court to vacate the object if possession is unattainable under the law. An auction letter, as an authentic act, protects auction winners against normative enforcement of dependency rights. Nonetheless, the law lacks explicit protection for third parties and auction winners regarding possession, resulting in legal uncertainty.
Subjective Time Experience, Bodily Sensations, and the Aesthetic Experience of Dance Choreographies
Authors: Vukadinović Maja S.
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the relationship between ​the ​subjective time experience and aesthetic experience​,​ including bodily sensations​,​ as observers view recordings of dance choreographies of contemporary and hip-hop dance. After watching each of ​the ​six different video-recorded dance choreographies, ​the ​participants (Serbian students N=122, aged between 17 and 27) rated their perception of time (i.e., duration, passage), ​their ​aesthetic experience, and bodily sensations. In regard to the duration aspect of time perception, ​the ​results indicated that​ the​ observers’ estimations of the duration of each choreography do not differ significantly from the objective duration of ​the ​observed choreography. In contrast,​ the​ results for the passage of time show that ​the ​participants perceived time as passing much faster​ when watching hip-hop choreographies​. Specifically for hip-hop choreographies​,​ Dynamism and Focus positively predict subjective time experience. In line with previous studies, these findings suggest that heightened focus on an aesthetic object, as well as immersion in an activity, tends to diminish awareness of the passage of time, leading to the sensation of time passing more quickly.
A Review on the Development of a Track Irregularity Measurement Tool
Authors: Febrian Angga Prasetyo  , Satrio Wicaksono
Published: June 2024

Railway transportation is one of the most vital transportation modes for people and goods. Ensuring railway transportation safety and efficiency is very important. The condition of the track is one of the most vital factors in ensuring railway safety, as irregularities in the track can lead to severe accidents. Thus, it is essential to have proper gauges and methods to measure track irregularities. This paper will discuss different methods to measure track irregularities and their advantages and limitations. Several track irregularity measurement tools will be divided into groups based on different aspects, such as the contact types and their location. Contact methods can measure more detailed irregularities, but have limitations such as injury and equipment damage. Non-contact methods are less invasive and can measure larger rail sections, but are less accurate. The inspection method will be chosen based on the track configuration that must be carefully studied to ensure the most efficient and effective inspection methods for a rail type. Regardless of the method, it is important to keep developing and improving existing track irregularity measurement tools to increase efficiency and reduce measurement errors.

Hukum Tata Negara di Indonesia Hukum Tata Negara (HTN) merupakan disiplin ilmu yang mengatur struktur kenegaraan, hubungan antarstruktur organ negara, dan interaksi antara negara dengan warga negara. Jika dilihat ke belakang, HTN di Indonesia memiliki sejarah yang cukup panjang, dari mulai awal kemerdekaan hingga saat ini. Dari waktu ke waktu, HTN tidak selamanya tetap sama dan itu-itu saja tanpa adanya perubahan sama sekali.  Tujuan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah memahami bagaimana sejarah HTN atau Ketatanegaraan di Indonesia serta bagaimana interaksi ini mempengaruhi penataan negara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif, mengandalkan studi kepustakaan untuk mengumpulkan data dari buku, jurnal, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan sumber relevan lainnya. Analisis dilakukan dengan mengkaji konsep, teori, dan doktrin hukum yang berkaitan dengan HTN dan sejarahnya di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sejarah HTN/Ketatanegaraan di Indonesia tidak lepas dari konstitusi atau Undang-Undang dasar yang digunakan pada setiap periode. Selain itu, gaya pemerintahan di setiap periode Undang-Undang Dasar yang digunakan pada setiap periode juga tidak sepenuhnya sama satu dengan yang lainnya. Penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya pendekatan interdisipliner dalam memahami dan mengembangkan HTN untuk menjawab tantangan ketatanegaraan modern.

Liquid dosage forms are formulations that are administered through oral, parenteral and topical routes. Liquid dosage forms have better patient compliance as compared to other dosage forms hence, mainly used in paediatric patients. Also, during formulation the drugs are uniformly dispensed in liquid dosage form. It masks the taste of bitter, salty and nauseous drugs. This dosage form enhances the drug absorption and in turn, drug bioavailability. During formulation, some non-therapeutic agents (additives) are added that not have any pharmacological potential but still used to enhance the stability, appearance and efficacy of the dosage form to provide better compliance.
Refinement of String Theory Results based on Ideas of Scientific Philosophy

As is known, A. Einstein's key method was unification through symmetry. He was able to formulate a symmetry unifying space and time. He was also able to formulate a generalized symmetry describing acceleration and gravity. However, Einstein's third approach to creating a great unifying theory was unsuccessful because he lacked a symmetry that would unify gravity and light. He even wrote: "I am sure that in order to make real progress, it is necessary to elicit from nature one more some general principle". This paper attempts to prove that this general principle is the principles of algebra and arithmetic.
