Published: August 2024

The article notes the entry of new subjects into the Russian Federation: the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, which necessitated the consideration of regional peculiarities and the harmonization of land and other legislation of the new subjects of the Federation with federal legislation. Taking into account the current situation and the martial law regime imposed on its territory, it seems correct to focus attention in the field of state land management on the tasks of state land monitoring and land protection. In addition, due to the active movement of groups of troops, the use of military aviation, missile weapons, which forms a rich informative «background» for the study of carbon issues in the global climate context, the creation of carbon landfills in new territories and near them, it seems an urgent task to develop adequate compensatory measures to maintain the «carbon balance». The collected data will make it possible to identify the challenges and threats to the country's environmental security corresponding to the current military-political situation, as well as modernize the main tasks, priorities state policy in the field of environmental safety, previously defined by federal legislation, and in need of adaptation to modern realities.

Traditional Family Values as the Spiritual and Moral Basis of Corrective Treatment of Minors Serving a Criminal Sentence in the Form of Imprisonment
Authors:   rofessor of the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology of the Siberian Law Institute of the Ministry, Teplyashin Pavel V.
Published: August 2024

The article presents two moral and legal dilemmas, the essence of which is reduced to the contradictory role of positively and negatively characterised families in the formation of the spiritual and moral foundations of correctional influence on juveniles deprived of liberty. In this context, the phenomenon of the ‘imaginary family’ is demonstrated, i.e. a family that formally does not possess external signs of socially dangerous situation, but actually is such. The multidimensional potential of the family in the effective treatment of juvenile convicts is considered. The problem of weakening of spiritual and moral family fasteners in connection with juvenile delinquency, which extends to 80 per cent of persons who committed a socially dangerous act when they were minors, is reflected. The relevant experience of functioning of the Kansk educational colony is shown. It is concluded that the criminal-executive legislation does not fully regulate the possibility of transmitting traditional family values to juveniles serving a criminal sentence in the form of imprisonment.

Published: August 2024

Many educational bureaucracies use national examinations for high-stake decision-making including certification, promotion, and qualifications. This study examines the washback effect of one of those exams, known as the General Aptitude Test (GAT), on the students’ learning of the Arabic language. Specifically, it examines students’ perceptions of the GAT and how it impacted their learning practice. Based on questionnaire responses from 548 high school students, and 12 interviews, the study finds a negative washback effect on students’ perceptions and learning. Most students expressed negative views about the GAT as it causes stress, and they perceive that it is a barrier to their university admission. In terms of using the GAT results, findings reveal that many students did not change their learning due to the mismatch between test content, learning, and teaching activities. This study provides important evidence about students, perceptions of and influence of GAT on their learning. We discuss the implications of these findings in minimizing the negative washback effect.

Authors: Elansari Taoufyq , Ouanan Mohammed , Bourray Hamid
Published: August 2024

The Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is an artificial neural network composed of one or more hidden layers. It has found wide use in various fields and applications. The number of neurons in the hidden layers, the number of hidden layers, and the activation functions employed in each layer significantly influence the convergence of MLP learning algorithms. This article presents a model for selecting activation functions and optimizing the structure of the multilayer perceptron, formulated in terms of mixed-variable optimization. To solve the obtained model, a hybrid algorithm is used, combining stochastic optimization and the backpropagation algorithm. Our algorithm shows better complexity and execution time compared to some other methods in the literature, as the numerical results show.

Authors: Arafa Ghada , Metiri Farouk , Sadoun Ahmed , Remita Mohamed Riad
Published: August 2024

In traditional quantile credibility models, it is typically assumed that claims are independent across different risks. Nevertheless, there are numerous scenarios where dependencies among insured individuals can emerge, thereby breaching the independence assumption. This study focuses on examining the quantile credibility model and extending some established results within the context of an equal correlation structure among risks. Specifically, we compute the credibility premiums for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous cases utilizing the orthogonal projection method.

Authors: Izza Anis Majidah  , Rahim Amran , Bahri Mawardi
Published: August 2024

Mean-Variance (MV) is a method that collects several assets using appropriate weight intending to maximize profits and to reduce risk. Stock market conditions are very volatile, mean variance method does not reach stock market fluctuation well because MV method is only limited to one time period. This study proposes a mean variance complex-based approach that transforms real returns into complex returns by using Hilbert transform to construct an optimal mean-variance portfolio based on complex returns and then find its dynamic asset allocation. The results show that with the same risk tolerance, the mean variance complex-based approach outperforms MV method in profits, losses, and portfolio performance tests.

Published: August 2024

This paper examines the changes in consumption habits during the pandemic period as well as the impact of the crisis on young people’s consumption behavior. The study presents the considerations which are based on the authors’ own research, which involved the triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data. A quantitative study was conducted in 2021 on a representative sample of Poles (total number N = 1,268). This study aims to determine how much and to what extent the pandemic experiences have changed the consumer behavior habits of Poles.
It was hypothetically assumed that the post-pandemic experiences had a significant impact on changing the consumption habits of Poles.
In order to determine the durability of the changes in consumption that appeared in 2021, a qualitative research was carried out in 2023, in which a crisis in the consumption behavior of young people was conducted as an in-depth analysis. This research was conducted by the FGI (focus group interview) intelligence method among five focus groups. It assumed that young people are particularly sensitive to changes and they undertake compensatory consumption behavior during the crisis period.

Authors: Leszczyński Marcin , Metelski Adam , Litwiński Michał
Published: August 2024

Digital transformation has had a profound impact on various industries, and the sports sector is no exception. Nowadays there is a new growing group of sports fans — modern ones — who have been functioning in the digital world since birth, and therefore have unique behavioral patterns, habits, and expectations. Consequently, an increasing number of sports clubs have recognized the unique needs of these modern fans, prompting them to offer digitized sports products as a means of keeping pace with evolving trends. This article aims to explore the factors that influence the purchase intentions of digitized sports products, such as match highlights or behind-the-scenes content, among sports fans. Utilizing the logit model, our analysis revealed that relatively older individuals and those who perceive their income situation favorably exhibit a significantly higher purchase intention. Interestingly, our study also discovered that gender did not emerge as a statistically significant factor. In the context of digital transformation, understanding the determinants of purchase intentions for digitized sports products holds considerable importance. Identifying the factors that influence fans’ decisions to invest in these offerings can enable sports clubs and organizations to tailor their digital strategies effectively, cater to the preferences of modern fans and, ultimately, enhance fan engagement and satisfaction.

Authors:   Volgograd State Technical University, Vitolin Sergey V. , Kashlev Sergey A. ,   Volgograd State Technical University
Published: August 2024

This article reviews the issues related to coordinated control of traffic lights in various conditions and the influence of coordination on traffic parameters. The coordinated traffic control of vehicles at regulated intersections is considered to minimize the travel time of a network section, because it reduces the number of stops and fuel consumption. The choice of the optimal number for coordination plans depends on the change in traffic intensity in the coordination area. At the same time, the intensity of movement can vary during both daily and weekly fluctuations. Calculating the optimal clock cycles and cycles of traffic light regulation with coordinated control requires the use of lower values of saturation fluxes.

In recent years, despite the negative impact of global warming on permafrost, there has been an increase in the length of railways in the Arctic zone. The bearing capacity of thawing permafrost soils at the base of the roadbed is reduced, especially under the influence of increased vibrodynamic load, therefore, the study of their strength characteristics is becoming increasingly relevant. The article examines the adhesion and the angle of internal friction of thawing soil, and presents the results of triaxial tests using the method of orthogonal experiments. The patterns of changes in the strength characteristics of thawing soil under the influence of such factors as the initial temperature of soil samples, humidity and the load stage are determined. Based on the method of dispersion analysis (ANOVA), the influence of initial temperature of soil samples, humidity and the load stage on the strength characteristics of the soil was studied. Based on the results of triaxial tests, the regression equations of the dynamic coupling and the dynamic angle of internal friction were obtained. The results of the research can be used to calculate the bearing capacity of thawing permafrost soils at the base of the roadbed.

Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the optimization of the quenching and tempering modes of 60C2 spring steel based on the application of the theory of planning an engineering experiment. The relevance of the work is confirmed by measurements of the hardness of the steel of the screw springs of railway cars, which does not meet the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation. Thus, the need to clarify the values of quenching and tempering temperatures in the manufacture of springs is justified. An experiment was conducted that allowed us to obtain a mathematical model in the form of a second-order regression equation for predicting hardness depending on the tempering and tempering temperatures of steel and to establish the optimal values of these parameters to achieve the required hardness of 40-46,5 HRС according to GOST 1452-2011.

Authors:   JSC «Lengiprostroy», Merkuryev Yy. S.
Published: August 2024

The problem of modelling of a seismic impact on a railway roadbed is examined. The modelling was conducted with the use of a generated accelerogram. Calculations of the stress-strain state of the roadbed during an earthquake are made with the GEO5 FEM program complex. The stress and deformation values in the construction of the roadbed considering several geometric parameters of the calculation scheme, physical and dynamical properties of soil are presented. The nature of the impact of these factors on the stress-strain state during an earthquake is detected. The effectiveness of the use of the finite-element method for the dynamic calculations of a soil construction considering the seismic impact is reasoned. The soil constructions with a damping layer serving to reduce the seismic negative effect are calculated. The dependences of stresses and deformations in the roadbed on the damping parameters are detected. The possibility to reduce the deformations and stresses in the roadbed during a seismic impact with the use of the damping layer or the use into the qualities of the material for the soil mounds with definite dynamical and physical characteristics is established.

The issues of the efficiency of using connected trains to increase the carrying capacity of the electrified railway areas are considered. The way of choosing the best option to form and regulate the connected trains when organizing cargo correspondence which provides the most total profit with less total expenses is introduced. It is suggested to develop a forced schedule of trains traffic (the schedule of trains traffic with connected trains moving in forward and backward directions) in order to provide safety of the transportation process under conditions of the constant decrease of the railways carrying capacity reserve. Trains traffic schedule is developed which includes, in its core, a solid thread of connected trains and the algorithm of the organization of their use. The best option of the formation and regulation of connected trains when organizing cargo correspondence is chosen for an area with weather and infrastructure constraints on the criteria of receiving the most total profit under the least total expenses of the transportation process participants.
Multi-agent transport system control problem
Authors:   Ural State University of Railway Transport, Zavalishchin D. S.
Published: August 2024

A new class of control problems for a certain transport system is considered. The peculiarity of the system is the variable number of participants in the control process. The regrouping of participants, along with their unification and dispersal, is determined by the specified target points of visit, the initial point of departure and the final point of completion of the system’s movement, and the constructed trajectories. The structure of a multi-agent transport system implies the presence of primary and secondary carriers, with the former being able to transport the latter at some stages. It is at such moments that the number of participants in the control process changes. In the constructed mathematical model of the movements of the system under consideration and its control, a hybrid system of differential equations with switching is obtained, containing continuous and discrete components. The problem of finding optimal routes under certain constraints is solved.

The type of research used in this research is quantitative using secondary data. Data was taken from company financial reports and audited GCG implementation reports at Islamic banks in Indonesia during 2018-2022. In this research using a purposive sampling method, 10 out of 15 Sharia Commercial Banks can be used as samples. Data analysis to test the hypothesis used multiple linear regression and was processed using the SPSS version 25 program. The results of the research stated that the sharia supervisory board, Good Corporate Governance had an influence on the performance of sharia banks whose indicators used ROA. Partially, the sharia supervisory board has a negative and significant effect on ROA, GCG has a positive and significant effect on ROA. Meanwhile, the results of partial GCG testing have no effect on ROA as a proxy for Islamic bank performance. The influence of the sharia supervisory board on performance is measured according to the position of the DPS providing a strong view so that each DPS takes part in joint decisions with sharia banking institutions by implementing and improving financial performance. The DPS must provide continuous supervision of the performance of sharia banks to have good institutional strength so that stakeholders or sharia banking leaders evaluate performance according to sharia principles.
WOMEN AS A STRATEGIC GROUP: WOMEN'S STRATEGY IN POLITICAL NETWORKS THROUGH THE ECONOMIC AREA
Authors: Safitri Purnami , Trisno Aji Wahyu , Adabiyah Radiyatun
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Women’s participation in economic field and politic is often viewed in a dichotomous manner, where the economy is referred as "low politics." Women’s participation in economic organization is also seen as non-strategiv activism, which interpreted as activities that are distant or excluded from electoral politics and has less influence on the decision-making process. This research aims to challenge the argument and suggests that women's roles in the economy are indeed interconnected with the political sector. The study argues that women use their institutional capital as members of IWAPI to build relationships and political networks, where the appropriation of interests which means securing access to specific resources is the main goal. This research utilizes the Strategic Group theory from Evans Dieter-Evers and finds that women affiliated with IWAPI adopt personal and corporate appropriation modes in pursuing their interests. Personal appropriation is closely related to strengthening political networks through political parties to drive institutional change, while corporate appropriation is carried out by IWAPI members through expanding business networks and forming resource alliances. Furthermore, women can be categorized as a strategic group with business types and often employ cooperative strategies with other strategic groups. IWAPI is ultimately referred to as an organization formed by strategic groups of women for the appropriation of specific interests.

Authors: Inayah Dinda Rifdayani , Priyanto Bambang , Rohadi Rohadi , Januarman Januarman
Published: August 2024

Highlight:

Hyponatremia is a potentially life-threatening condition.
Refracter hyponatremia can be seen in patients with systemic infection who have undergone therapy.

 
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hyponatremia is a condition in which the sodium serum level is below the normal range. This condition is most common in hospitalized patients receiving systemic infection therapy and can lead to worse outcomes, potentially life-threatening.Objective: This study aimed to summarize the incidence of refractory hyponatremia due to systemic infection therapy. Methods: This was a systematic literature search conducted in October 2023 on the online database PubMed regarding refractory hyponatremia due to systemic. The analysis excluded narrative reviews, non-English studies, and studies that only discussed transient hyponatremia or local infections. Results: A total of 10 case reports of 11 patients were included in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 46.63 years (SD = 20.79 years), and 63.64% were male. Strongloides stercoralis hyperinfection was the most common cause of systemic infection (54%). It was followed by disseminated Varicella-zoster virus infection (28%), tuberculosis (9%), and systemic nocardiosis (9%). The most common cause of immune compromise is stem cell transplant recipients (28%), followed by miliary tuberculosis (18%). Up to 91% of cases are caused  by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), which is the pathophysiology of hyponatremia. Conclusion: Most patients with systemic infections and refractory hyponatremia have conditions that encourage immune compromise. The treatment of systemic infections is a priority since they contribute to hyponatremia.

Highlight:

CPAP therapy is a medical treatment for individuals suffering from OSA, a condition that is frequently linked to cardiovascular disease and resistant hypertension.
Five studies clearly showed that combining CPAP therapy with standard medications had a big effect on the blood pressure of patients with both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and resistant hypertension.
Administering CPAP in conjunction with standard treatment, as per guidelines, has demonstrated the capability to lower both daytime and nighttime blood pressure in individuals affected by OSA and resistant hypertension.

 
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an upper respiratory tract disorder that is often associated with cardiovascular diseases, one of which is resistant hypertension (RH). On the other side, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a medical treatment that is often used for patients with OSA and RH. Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of CPAP in patients with OSA and resistant hypertension by measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure at diurnal, nocturnal, and 24 hours. Methods: We conducted a systematic review using a PRISMA flowchart, utilizing sources such as PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and ClinicalTrials.gov with MeSH. We then reviewed these sources for quality studies using RoB2, and analyzed the data using the Revman website version. 5.4.Results: The five studies included in the analysis found that CPAP, while maintaining conventional drugs, significantly affected the blood pressure of patients with OSA and RH. The significant results were made clearer by obtaining data for nocturnal SBP pressure, mean -3.89 mmHg (95% CI: -7.03 to -0.76) with a p-value < 0.02, and then nocturnal DBP obtained a mean of -2.34 mmHg (95% CI: -4.70 to 0.02) with a p-value < 0.05. Meanwhile, the 24-hour results for SBP obtained a mean of -2.97 mmHg (95% CI: -5.88 to -0.06) with a p-value < 0.05, and the 24-hour results for DBP obtained a mean of -2.39 mmHg (95% CI: -4.62 to -0.16) with a p-value < 0.04. Conclusion: CPAP, while maintaining conventional treatment according to indications, can reduce 24-hour and nocturnal blood pressure in patients with OSA and resistant hypertension.

Background: Indonesia is a tropical country that is exposed to sunlight throughout the year. Due to this exposure, Indonesians are more susceptible to aging. It has been demonstrated that the antioxidative chemicals in Aceh nilam and Arabica Gayo coffee peel extract can prevent the aging process of the skin. Purpose: To observe the effect of combination cream patchouli extract and arabica Gayo coffee peel extract on aging skin, focusing on collagen and elastin. Methods: This is an exploratory study using a randomized post-test only design. The rats were divided into two control groups and three experimental treatments, each with a different active ingredient concentration (10%, 12.5%, and 15% of patchouli and coffee peel extract). For six weeks, each group is exposed to UVB light three times a week, for a total dose of 1020 mJ/cm2. The macroscopic morphology, density, and thickness of collagen and elastin in rat skin were observed and assessed. Result: There were noteworthy variations observed in collagen density, collagen thickness, and elastin density, whereas no significant difference was found in elastin thickness. The macroscopic skin morphology exhibited absence of inflammation across all experimental groups. Conclusions: This study suggests that cream containing Aceh patchouli extract and 15% of Arabica Gayo coffee peel extract exhibits potential in enhancing the quantity and quality of collagen while preserving elastin levels and it is safe for rat skin.
Overlapping Primary and Secondary Syphilis in a Bisexual Patient with Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Background: Syphilis and HIV are diseases that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Bisexual groups have a higher potential for HIV and syphilis transmission. In syphilis patients who have been infected with HIV, secondary syphilis often occurs along with primary syphilis, which can be found 2-3 times more often than in those who are not infected by HIV. Case: A 24-year-old male with HIV who is a bisexual man, complained chancre on his scrotum and on the tip of the penis that was painless and also has condyloma lata around the anus. Dermatological examination revealed multiple papules, patches, and plaques. The serological results for VDRL and TPHA were reactive. Histopathology examination of skin plaque suggests secondary syphilis. The Patient was diagnosed with overlapping primary-secondary syphilis and given therapy with single-dose intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin G. Discussion: Bisexual groups have a higher potential for HIV and syphilis transmission. In HIV patients, primary and secondary syphilis often overlap. This was due to changes in the immune system causing the spread of Treponema pallidum more quickly and slowing the healing of primary lesions. Conclusion: Overlapping of primary and secondary syphilis in bisexual patients with HIV is common; in addition, the appearance of skin lesions in secondary syphilis can resemble other diseases, so confirmation by histopathology examination needs to be done.

Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a skin condition that mostly occurs in adolescents, although it can occur at any age. Most occur during adolescence, with a prevalence of around 85%. Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease triggered by many factors, namely, genetics, environment, hormonal and emotional stress, food, trauma, cosmetics, and medications. Purpose: This study identifies the precipitating factors of acne vulgaris. Methods: This study was retrospective based on medical record data at the Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya in the period January 2018–December 2019. Results: The number of AV patients within 2 years from January 2018 to December 2019 obtained 517 cases of acne vulgaris patients with complete data. There were female AV patients (80.7%) and male AV patients (19.3%). The most common age of AV patients was 15–24 years old (60.5%), the most common occupation of AV patients was student (59.8%), and patients suffered from AV for >12 months (18.6%). The most precipitating factors for AV are hormonal (69.6%) and cosmetic (50.1%); the most common type of AV is mild AV (64.2%); and the most common AV therapy is the combination of topical tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide (BPO), and topical clindamycin. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that hormonal and cosmetic precipitating factors caused most AV patients in women.

Cutting metal materials using Laser Cutting can determine the quality of the cutting material. This is because laser cutting uses high speed, so it can improve the quality of the cut material. SS316 L metal is a metal used in the manufacturing industry. The choice of SS 316 L metal aims to prevent corrosion, have high strength and be easy to maintain. The aim of this research is to determine the cutting speed parameters in laser cutting using SS 316 L material. The method used is by varying the cutting speed of the laser machine with speeds of 60 mm/minute, 70 mm/minute, 80 mm/minute, 90 mm/minute, 100 mm/min. Observation of surface roughness tests with two variations vertically and horizontally. Test samples three times for each test object. The results of this research were that the lowest (smooth) surface roughness was obtained with a cutting speed variation of 100 mm/minute and the highest (coarse) at a cutting speed of 60 mm/minute for both vertical and horizontal sampling variations. So, the faster the cutting speed of the laser machine can reduce the roughness of the SS 316 L metal surface.

Green construction is a concept in the planning and implementation stages of construction aimed at reducing the negative environmental impacts of construction activities. The Public Service Mall Building Project in Tegal City is a building project that requires costs from planning to maintenance. The construction of a project certainly requires substantial costs. The objective of this research is to evaluate the achievements and determine the cost efficiency of using the green construction concept. This research was conducted through a preliminary survey of the involved parties who understand the green construction concept to identify the most applied categories, namely the use of refrigerants without Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), regional materials, environmental control over cigarette smoke, and pollution from construction activities. This type of research is qualitative, with data collection techniques carried out through interviews and direct observation. The data analysis for cost efficiency involves comparing green construction concepts with non-green construction concepts. The results of the benchmark measurements for using refrigerants without Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP), regional materials, and environmental control over cigarette smoke in the green construction concept achieved 100%, while the benchmark measurement results for green construction concerning pollution from construction activities achieved 50%. Based on the cost usage analysis in the upper structure construction of the Public Service Mall Building in Tegal City, the cost usage of the GC concept is 9.25% more efficient than the conventional concept.
