Authors: А. БАРАХТЕНКО Е , В. СОКОЛОВ Д
Published: November 2024

В статье представлен новый методический подход к автоматизированному построению программного обеспечения для решения задач проектирования систем теплоснабжения. Методический подход основан на парадигме ModelDriven Engineering. Суть этой парадигмы заключается в том, что программное обеспечение создается на основе моделей. Знания о системах теплоснабжения, прикладных задачах и прикладном программном обеспечении сохраняются для многократного использования в виде онтологий. Автоматизированное построение программного комплекса осуществляется на основе компьютерной модели системы теплоснабжения, онтологий и современных технологий метапрограммирования. Предложенный подход позволяет успешно решить проблему разделения методов решения прикладных задач и математических моделей элементов системы теплоснабжения. С этой целью методы реализуются в виде программных компонентов, которые не связаны со свойствами и моделями конкретного оборудования. А модели элементов системы теплоснабжения автоматически компилируются в программные компоненты. В процессе построения программной системы программные компоненты, реализующие модели и методы, динамически интегрируются в создаваемую систему. В результате программная система, ориентированная на решение конкретной прикладной задачи, создается в автоматизированном режиме. Разработанный подход использован для реализации программного комплекса СОСНА, который применяется для проектирования городских систем теплоснабжения.
Implementation Of International Corporate Governance Standards In Russian Electric Power Industry
Authors: G.I. Sheveleva
Published: November 2024

The paper considers the implementation of international corporate governance standards in Russian power generation companies. The implementation is mainly determined by analyzing whether or not Russian companies comply with Russia’s Corporate Governance Code criteria that are based on these standards. An in-depth analysis involves additional assessments. These are the assessment of Russian boards of directors by Spencer Stuart; the Transparency International assessment of corporate reporting transparency in the largest Russian companies; the assessment of the Corporate Governance Index of Russia based on the Good Governance Index and an international methodology adapted to Russian contexts; and the assessment of how the elements of the international “soft law” are introduced. These additional assessments made it possible to consider the criteria that are not included in the Code; to compare corporate practice in the Russian power generation companies with other Russian companies and the largest companies in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States; and to study independent opinions of professional and expert communities about the quality of corporate governance. The findings revealed that the overwhelming majority of Russian power generation companies do not meet the analyzed criteria that are significant for investors. This situation is indicative of weak implementation of international corporate governance standards in these companies and their low investment attractiveness.
Efficiency of energy plantations
Authors: E. Gubiy , V. Zorkaltsev
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an overview of the studies on creation and use of energy plantations. Their economic and environmental benefits are discussed. An economic-mathematical model for the efficiency analysis of energy plantations for fuel supply to remote settlements is briefly described. The results of the study based on this model are illustrated by an example close to the natural-meteorological and price conditions of the Irkutsk Region. Experimental calculations have showed that, at the existing prices, the supply of remote settlements in Siberian regions with fuel from energy plantations may be quite economically viable. The problem of selecting an optimal combination of biofuel from energy plantations and fuel sourced from other regions is discussed. The focus is made on three factors affecting the energy plantations efficiency: (i) the biofuel production, (ii) the delivered (traditional) fuel price, and (iii) the transportation factor depending on the configuration, required area of the energy plantation, and location of the economic center relative to the plantation. Special attention is paid to the problem of energy supply to the Baikal tourist and recreation zone.

“This Is Just Water” The Aesthetic Formation of Ritual Participants at the Lourdes Shrine
Authors: Ellwanger Daniel
Published: November 2024

Since its inception in 1858, the Lourdes Marian shrine in France has been distinguished by several defining characteristics, including religious practices, ritual performances, and narratives of healing. The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on religious culture at the Catholic Sanctuary of Lourdes in multiple ways. This article presents an ethnographic description of the impact of the pandemic on the shrine, based on fieldwork and the analysis of qualitative interviews conducted during the autumn of 2021 and throughout 2022. The article examines historical continuities and inconsistencies in the evaluations of religious practitioners’ ritual practices, with a particular focus on two aspects of Lourdes: first, ritual performances involving the renowned Lourdes water, which are thus framed as healing rituals; secondly, the in-/visibility of sick pilgrims at the sanctuary due to the pandemic. The article demonstrates that although these two aspects transform the sensational form of Lourdes to a considerable extent, as they become partially dysfunctional (at least temporarily), their evaluations by pilgrims and the shrine’s lay helpers are conducted within a stable framework.
Contested Exorcism Navigating Lutheran ‘Heil’ and Healing Expectations in Papua New Guinea
Authors: Heinrich Thomas
Published: November 2024

This paper sheds light on the intersection of religion, medicine, and cultural practices in Papua New Guinea, focusing on a case study of an exorcism conducted by a Lutheran doctor from Madagascar. It underscores that the attribution of failure is contextually dependent and fluctuates based on spatial-temporal scales and observer perspectives. By considering the role of semiotic ideologies in shaping these interactions, I debate the complexities involved in navigating distinct cultural, religious, and medical norms in this therapeutic setting. The paper attends to the historical and socio-political contexts, including the impact of colonialism and missionary work on local religious and healing practices. It also examines the concept of possession and its implications for healing expectations. The paper wraps up by discussing aspirations for the indigenization of Lutheran Christianity. German Lutherans, missionaries, the Madagascan doctor, and New Guinean locals all strive to harmonize their respective worldviews. By comparing such different yet equal perspectives, one’s own can be reflected upon and better understood. The discourse of healing in this unique configuration serves as a microcosm of broader debates surrounding religion, healthcare, and cultural diversity in a globalized world.

Hydrogen is an energy vector capable of storing and supplying large amounts of energy, maximising the benefits of renewable and sustainable energy sources. Hydrogen is usually stored as compressed hydrogen gas, or liquid hydrogen. However, the former requires high pressure, the latter cryogenic temperatures, being a huge limit to the widespread adoption of these storage methods. Thus, new materials for solid-state hydrogen storage shall be developed. Here we show that a α−MoO3 thin film, grown via atomic layer deposition, is a material with potential for reversibly storing hydrogen. We found that hydrogen plasma is a convenient way to hydrogenate − at room temperature and relatively low pressures (200 mTorr) – layered α−MoO3 thin films. Hydrogen has been shown to locate itself in the van der Waals gap along the [010] oriented α−MoO3 film. The hydrogen absorption process has been found to be totally reversible, with desorption of hydrogen effective at 350 °C / 4 hours under nitrogen atmosphere, and recoverable after repeated cycles. Furthermore, a nominal 13 nm AlxOy capping layer, grown via atomic layer deposition, has been shown to be efficient in preventing hydrogen release. The volumetric hydrogen storage capacity of 28 kg.m−3 achieved in our films is comparable to that of pressurised steel cylinders, highlighting their potential for practical applications. Our essay could be a starting point to a transition from conventional (gas and liquid) to more advantageous solid-state hydrogen storage materials.
The coordination chemistry of p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene with transition and lanthanide metal ions
Authors: Brechin Euan , Dalgarno Scott , Chakraborty Abhijnan , Wilson Lucinda
Published: November 2024

A survey of the literature and the Cambridge Structural Database reveals thirty nine p-tertbutylcalix[8]arene-supported transition (3d, limited to V – Cu) and lanthanide metal complexes ranging in nuclearity from one to eighteen, twenty of which are homometallic and nineteen of which are heterometallic. We provide a review of the coordination chemistry of these complexes, including our own work in the area. We also provide our thoughts and perspectives on the common structural themes observed, identify gaps in knowledge and evaluate how that may inform and direct future synthetic efforts. What is clear is that the coordination chemistry of H8TBC[8] with paramagnetic metal ions remains hugely underexplored.
Sensitive RNA Synthesis Using Fluoride-Cleavable Groups for Linking and Amino Protection
Authors: Apostle Alexander , Perera Manoj , Middleton Daniel , Fang Shiyue
Published: November 2024

A chemical method suitable for the synthesis of RNAs containing modifications such as N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) that are unstable under the basic and nucleophilic conditions used by standard RNA synthesis methods is described. The method uses the 4-((t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-2-methoxybutanoyl (SoM) group for the protection of exo-amino groups of nucleobases and the 4-((t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-2-((aminophosphaneyl)oxy)butanoyl (SoA) group as the linker for solid phase synthesis. RNA cleavage and amino deprotection are achieved using fluoride under the same conditions used for the removal of the 2′-OH silyl protecting groups. Using the method, a wide range of electrophilic and base-sensitive groups including those that play structural and regulatory roles in biological systems and those that are artificially designed for various purposes are expected to be able to be incorporated into any position of any RNA sequences. As a proof of concept, a 26-mer RNA containing the highly sensitive ac4C epitranscriptomic modification was successfully synthesized and purified with RP HPLC. MALDI MS analysis indicated that the ac4C modification is completely stable under the fluoride deprotection conditions. The sensitive RNA synthesis method is expected to be able to overcome the long lasting obstacle of accessing various modified sensitive RNAs to projects in areas such as epitranscriptomics, molecular biology and the development of nucleic acid therapeutics.
Engaging Students in Spectroscopic Analysis of Organic Compounds: A Collaborative Tournament Approach for Third-Year Chemistry Students in Northern France
Authors: Hapiot Frédéric , Danjou Pierre-Edouard , Delattre François , Josse Solen , Bonnet Véronique
Published: November 2024

The ability to elucidate the structure of organic compounds from their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra is an essential skill, particularly for those engaged in the fields of synthetic or analytical organic chemistry. Spectral analysis constitutes a fundamental component of the curriculum for all chemistry students, as it requires the development of critical thinking skills. To engage and motivate students in the structure’s elucidation course, a gamified learning activity was designed in the form of a tournament involving third-year chemistry students from three universities in Northern France. In this tournament, the students are divided into teams comprising four to five individuals. They are tasked with elucidating the structures of organic compounds based on their NMR, IR, and MS spectra in the shortest possible time with the fewest possible incorrect answers. The tournament was conducted in two distinct phases, each with a duration of an hour and a half and an hour, respectively. The initial phase is competitive and involves teams of students from the same university, while the subsequent phase is designed to facilitate interaction and comparison between students from different universities, allowing them to discuss and evaluate their respective knowledge and methodology. The students were invited to evaluate the tournament approach through a questionnaire. The students expressed appreciation for the tournament and recommended its repetition in future years, citing its value in advancing their spectroscopy skills. Additionally, the students found the opportunity to interact with students from other universities and engage in discussions about their training programmes and methodologies to be a valuable experience.
Membrane transporters modulating the toxicity of arsenic, cadmium, and mercury in human cells
Authors: Ferdigg Andrè , Hopp Ann-Katrin , Wolf Gernot , Superti-Furga Giulio
Published: November 2024

Non-essential metals are extremely toxic to living organisms, posing significant health risks, particularly in developing nations where they are a major contributor to illness and death. Although their toxicity is widely acknowledged, the mechanisms by which they are regulated within human cells remain incompletely understood. Specifically, the role of membrane transporters in mediating heavy metal toxicity is not well comprehended. Our study demonstrates how specific transporters can modulate the toxicity of cadmium, mercury, and the metalloid arsenic in human cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screens, we found that the multidrug resistance protein MRP1/ABCC1 provided protection against toxicity induced by arsenic and mercury. In addition, we found that SLC39A14 and SLC30A1 increased cellular sensitivity to cadmium. Using a reporter cell line to monitor cellular metal accumulation and performing a cDNA gain-of-function screen, we were able to clarify the function of SLC30A1 in controlling cadmium toxicity through the modulation of intracellular zinc levels. This transporter-wide approach provides new insights into the complex roles of membrane transporters in influencing the toxicity of arsenic, cadmium, and mercury in human cell lines.

A Note on Aggregating Preferences for Redistribution
Authors: Carroll Daniel R. , Luduvice André Victor D. , Young Eric R.
Published: November 2024

The policy predictions of standard heterogeneous agent macroeconomic models are often at odds with observed policies. We use the 2021 General Social Survey to investigate the drivers of individuals' preferences over taxes and redistribution. We find that these preferences are more strongly associated with political identity than with economic status. We discuss the implications for quantitative macroeconomic models with endogenous policy determination.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of serum tumor markers CEA, AFP, CA199, CA125, CA153, CYFRA21, CA724, and NSE in invasive breast cancer. Methods: A total of 314 patients with invasive breast cancer from Baoding First Central Hospital between January 2021 and December 2022, and 31 patients with benign breast diseases (including mastitis, breast fibroadenoma, breast adenosis, adenoma of the breast, benign phyllodes tumor of the breast, and intraductal papilloma) were randomly selected as the control group. The levels of CEA, AFP, CA199, CA125, CA153, CYFRA21, CA724, and NSE were measured using electrochemiluminescence. Results: The serum concentrations of CEA, CA153, and CYFRA21 showed significant statistical differences between the invasive breast cancer group and the benign breast disease group (P < 0.01). ROC curve analysis revealed that CA153 had the highest sensitivity for diagnosing invasive breast cancer, while CEA had the highest specificity, at 84.4% and 77.4%, respectively. When multiple tumor markers were used for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, the combination of CEA and CA153 showed the highest specificity at 90.3%, while the combination of CEA and CYFRA21 had the highest sensitivity at 88.2%. The combined detection of CEA, CYFRA21, and CA153 had the largest area under the curve (AUC) on the ROC curve, at 0.802, indicating that the combination of these three markers provided the best diagnostic performance for invasive breast cancer. Conclusion: CEA, CA153, and CYFRA21 can be used for the diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, and the combined detection of these three markers offers the best diagnostic efficacy for invasive breast cancer.
K.I. Rovinskiy in the History of Tax Accounting in Russia
Authors: Sokolov V. Ya.
Published: November 2024

The paper studies the life and work of the founder of the tax accounting history, Konstantin I. Rovinskiy.

The relevance of this publication is determined by the insufficient study of the history of tax accounting in Russia.

It uses the prosopographical method and the method of archival research.

The author’s goal is to emphasize Rovinskiy’s contribution to financial science. This involves justifying indirect taxation compared to direct taxation, determining the most effective tax administration structure, establishing procedures for collecting excise tax on alcohol, auditing financial activities, and encouraging adherence to ethical standards among financial workers. His major work, “Tax Inspectorate in Russia”, is one of the most cited publications on the history of taxation. 

Rovinskiy’s contribution to the social movement is important. He shared the political ideas of the zemtsovs, and wrote his articles in newspapers under the pseudonym Zemets. Despite his liberal views, participation in a club of political figures, in a conference on introducing a self-state in Russia. Rovinskiy lectured on religious issues, in which he had substantiated the need for separation of church and state. Throughout his career in the civil service, Rovinskiy held various positions, including the head of the department of tax collection of the Ministry of Finance, as well as management roles in the Courland treasury chamber in Mitava and Orel. He eventually rose to the rank of actual state councilor. The revolution changed his fate and interrupted his civil service, but opened up spiritual service for him. His high spiritual qualities helped him survive many arrests and exile. The manuscript department of the Russian State Library currently holds Rovinskiy’s works, but regrettably, they have yet to publish them. They are valuable not only as a historical document but also as a wonderful literary composition.
Analysis of the Content and Recommendations for the Application of FSBU 4/2023 “Accounting (Financial) Reporting”
Authors: Zaika V. S.
Published: November 2024

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation has approved a new Federal Accounting Standard (FSBU) 4/2023 “Accounting (Financial) Reporting”. The purpose of the article is to analyze the content of the standard from the standpoint of the theory and practice of forming accounting (financial) statements and to prepare conclusions and proposals based on the results of this work. The study used general scientific methods, such as analysis, comparison, generalization, and specification, and also compared Federal Accounting Standard 4/2023 with the current documents regulating accounting in the Russian Federation, international financial reporting standards, and previously prepared drafts of the federal standards. Based on Federal Accounting Standard 4/2023, the author’s conclusions are formulated both regarding the composition and content of the information disclosed in the forms of accounting (financial) statements, and the procedure for preparing the latter and the conditions for its reliability, not specified in the text of the standard and the information message of the Ministry of Finance of Russia. The article reflects the shortcomings of the new standard, including in terms of the objectives of accounting (financial) statements and the purpose of financial information. The ambiguities of Federal Accounting Standard 4/2023 were eliminated and recommendations for its application were proposed. The results of the study can be applied in the theory and practice of accounting and the formation of accounting (financial) statements.
WOMEN 2019’s POLITICAL REPRESENTATION IN INDIA
Authors: Nargis Anjuma Ahmed
Published: November 2024

In the same respect, while women are not very active participants in state and national election processes in India, they have registered a tremendous and progressive vote bank. This realisation of women that, although they are confined to the private sphere and continue to be politically irrelevant in their candidacy, are becoming politically active in voting booths is a significant issue in Indian democracy. The 2019 elections demonstrated the impressive ability of women voters who, for several years, have become the numerators of those who voted in many regions of the country. This has led to the numerous approach adjustments of political parties, particularly the BJP and the INC, in their electioneering activities to embrace women's issues and to lean. Measures such as setting aside seats for women in the local government have over time fostered the pipeline to the current increases in women's political involvement at the higher states. However, the interesting fact is the difference between the number of women who voted and those who are headed into the Parliament. Thus, studying its contribution toward focusing on the relations of increasing female participation in elections, changes in rationales and prospects, as well as the general context of Indian democracy, is crucial.

Authors: Maulina Wenny , Habibah Putri Sifa , Arkundato Artoto , Syarifah Ratna Dewi , Sulistiyo Yudi Aris , Sukmawati Nissa
Published: November 2024

Water hyacinth is a locally available biomass with the potential to be converted into biochar, serving as a renewable energy source. In this report, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the carbonization temperature during the preparation of water hyacinth biochar. Water hyacinth was carbonized in a furnace at varied temperatures (400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C) for 90 minutes. Characterization of the biochar derived from water hyacinth by proximate analysis was determined, including moisture content, ash content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and calorific value. The results of the biochar before optimization indicated that moisture content and volatile matter decreased with increasing carbonization temperature, while ash content, fixed carbon, and calorific value increased. After optimization, the proximate analysis of the biochar was determined, with the optimal carbonization temperature found to be 533.54 °C. At this temperature, the optimal moisture content was 6.50%, ash content was 25.53%, volatile matter was 24.80%, and fixed carbon was 43,16%. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using RSM to optimize the preparation conditions of water hyacinth biochar.

Estudio comparativo de mecanismos y algoritmos de balanceo de carga para un clúster Kubernetes de contenedores de bases de datos de solo lectura.
Authors:   , Saldías Vallejos Nicolás
Published: November 2024

This research focuses on performance optimization of Kubernetes clusters, with a special focus on read-only database containers. A cluster that emulates a real production environment was configured, implementing critical configurations for operation. Through the evaluation of multiple factors in various experimental scenarios, and using statistical methods such as ANOVA, Pareto analysis and interactions between factors, critical elements influencing performance were identified. The results revealed not only the most statistically significant factors, but also allowed, through a detailed analysis, to recognize the importance of those with minor but still significant effects, which are often underestimated because of their suboptimal contribution in the experimental design. This study concludes by underlining the relevance of a configuration tailored to the needs of the system, in addition to data-driven optimization to improve availability and efficiency under high-demand loads.
Singularity and Plurality in Standard Arabic: A Semantic Message for Translators of ri:ħ (Wind) and riya:ħ (Winds)
Authors: Alrashdan Imran , Abusalim Nimer , Al Salem Mohd Nour , Rayyan Mohammad
Published: November 2024

This paper argues that the relationship between the singular and plural forms of a noun in Arabic is not merely grammatical. It specifically shows that the relationship does not only entail that a plural noun refers to more than two persons or things and that each form may hold a certain semantic significance, depending on the context. In order to prove this assumption, the paper reports the results of a study which draws on data collected from Standard Arabic: Common expressions, proverbs, poetry, prophetic traditions, and the Holy Quran (HQ), concerning the singular noun ريح ri:ħ (wind) and its plural رياح riya:ħ (winds). A mixed-method approach that relies on semantic analysis is adopted. In particular, wherever any of these two words is spotted, it is analyzed semantically, and the meaning/description of the word is traced. The analysis showed that there are two main semantic differences between the singular ‘wind’ and the plural ‘winds’ in Arabic. While the former refers to force, destruction, and pain; the latter refers to good things or tidings. In addition, the singular refers to a fixed indivisible entity that exists in one place as it is created for one purpose only. The plural, on the other hand, is distributable and may exist in different places, blow from different directions, and perform different purposes. Translators, therefore, need to take this distinction in mind when these two entries are involved in translation from Arabic to English or any other language. In particular, they need to add supporting adjectives to deliver the embedded message.
Assessing Water Level Variability in the Mekong Delta under the Impacts of Anthropogenic and Climatic Factors
Authors: Cong Thanh Nguyen , Dang Truong An
Published: November 2024

In recent years, the water level in the Mekong Delta (MD) has undergone changes, attributed to the impacts of anthropogenic activities and climate change. Declining water levels have had implications for various aspects of life and aquatic ecosystems in the lower basin water bodies. Analyzing long-term trends in rainfall and water levels is crucial for enhancing our understanding. This study aims to examine the evolving patterns of water level and rainfall in the region. Data on water levels and rainfall from observation stations were gathered from the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting, Vietnam, spanning from 2000 to 2014. The assessment of homogeneity and identification of trend changes were conducted using the Standard Normal Homogeneity Test (SNHT) and the Mann-Kendall test. The results indicate that changes in water levels at the Tan Chau and Chau Doc stations have been observed since 2010 due to the operation of flow-regulating structures in the upper Mekong River. Following the commencement of upstream dam operations, the water level at the headwater stations of the Mekong River has been higher than the long-term average during the dry season and lower than the average during the flood season. The study findings highlight the influence of altered rainfall patterns under the impact of climate variability (ICC) on water level trends in the study area. While rainfall plays a significant role in increasing water levels during the flood season, the operation of hydropower dams (UHDs) stands out as the primary factor driving water level reductions in the study area.

Authors: Zuhroh Ainun Amalia , Lahuri Setiawan Bin , Kozhakhmetova Assel
Published: November 2024

This study aims to enhance the understanding of the utilization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in the hospitality industry of Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, through the lens of maqashid sharia principles. The allocation of CSR funds within the industry frequently lacks specific guidelines grounded in sharia values. To investigate this social framework, the study employs Jamaluddin Athiyyah's maqashid sharia theory, recognized for its capability to bridge classical theoretical frameworks with contemporary issues. This research adopts a qualitative approach, incorporating critical analysis and descriptive methods. Primary data were collected through interviews with representatives from Syariah Solo Hotel, Al-Multazam Hotel, and members of the community. Additionally, secondary data were gathered from the documentation of CSR programs of Islamic hotels and relevant literature, serving as empirical evidence. The findings indicate the significance of understanding Islamic teachings, particularly maqashid sharia, in the allocation of CSR funds within the hospitality sector of Surakarta. Both Islamic hotels in the region contribute to the distribution of CSR funds through religious social activities, community economic development, and educational initiatives. This aligns with the understanding of human values and the responsibilities associated with maqashid al-khalqi and maqashid ash-shari'ah as articulated by Jamaluddin Athiyyah. This study serves as a benchmark for managing maqashid sharia-based CSR funds in the hospitality industry, particularly in Indonesia. Furthermore, it provides recommendations for policymakers to supervise the use of CSR funds across various industrial sectors, ensuring alignment with religious values

La presencia de medusas o de otro elemento ajeno al medio litoral supone un factor limitante al ocio costero y afecta a un sector estratégico como es el turismo. Para mitigar los efectos dañinos de esta cuestión, se expone una metodología de apoyo a la gestión del problema sobre una muestra de 32 playas de la Costa del Sol, Málaga. Esta se presenta dividida en tres fases. En primer lugar, se realiza un diagnóstico del usuario y de la playa de la que se deriva una cartografía de zonas prioritarias de actuación. En la segunda fase se proponen medidas paliativas y de mitigación de la peligrosidad y de la vulnerabilidad. Por último, en la tercera fase, se examinan los factores condicionantes que deben tener cada playa para activar las intervenciones formuladas y se elabora una matriz de asignación de propuestas en función de la tipología de cada playa. Los resultados muestran un total de trece playas aptas para la activación de algunas de las actuaciones presentadas, en las que las medidas ante eventos de peligrosidad son potencialmente asumibles en la práctica totalidad de las playas prioritarias, estando las de vulnerabilidad algo más restringidas debido a los condicionantes necesarios para su instalación, tales como accesibilidad o superficie.

Evaluasi Penerapan E-Kinerja Dalam Meningkatkan Indeks Profesionalitas Asn Di Kabupaten Magelang
Authors: Rahmawati Fitri , Hermawati Istiana
Published: November 2024

Kinerja ASN merupakan salah satu dimensi dalam pengukuran Indeks Profesionalitas Aparatur Sipil Negara (IP ASN). Kinerja ASN sangat penting karena merupakan bagian dari aspek yang mempengaruhi kualitas pelayanan publik. Digitalisasi manajemen ASN merupakan salah satu tuntutan era digital saat ini. Digitalisasi tersebut akan memudahkan akses dan memperoleh data, meningkatkan kualitas kerja, meningkatkan produktivitas dan efisiensi, menyederhanakan proses bisnis,  dasar penentuan kebijakan. Fenomena unik dan urgent pemilihan lokasi Pemerintah Kabupaten Magelang karena Pemerintah Kabupaten Magelang merupakan satu satunya instansi di wilayah Jawa Tengah yang menjadi piloting project penerapan e-kinerja sehingga belum ada pemerintah Kabupaten/Kota lain di wilayah Provinsi Jawa Tengah yang pada tahun 2022 tersebut mengimplementasikan e-kinerja dan dirasa perlu mengkaji keberhasilan implementasi e-kinerja tersebut terhadap profesionalitas ASN di lingkungan Pemerintah Kabupaten Magelang setelah diterapkannya e-kinerja. Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh penerapan e-kinerja terhadap peningkatan IP ASN di lingkungan Pemerintah Kabupaten Magelang. IP ASN merupakan nilai hasil pengukuran kualitas ASN berdasarkan pembobotan kualifikasi pendidikan, kompetensi, kinerja, dan kedisiplinan pegawai. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan memanfaatkan data sekunder dari Sistem Informasi Aparatur Sipil Negara (SI-ASN) tahun 2021 dan 2023. Populasi penelitian mencakup seluruh PNS di Kabupaten Magelang dengan sampel purposive sampling yaitu ASN yang pada tahun 2021 dan tahun 2023 masih aktif sebagai ASN sejumlah 6.545. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan paired sample t-test dengan alat analisis SPSS versi 29.0.2.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kinerja ASN sebesar 4,47% setelah penerapan e-kinerja. Dari hasil Uji paired sample t-test yang dilakukan nampak bahwa p-value yaitu 0,003 < 0.005 sehingga dapat disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kinerja sebelum dan sesudah penerapan e-kinerja. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa aplikasi berupa e-kinerja berpengaruh positif terhadap peningkatan IP ASN. Temuan ini mendukung teori Dessler (2010) tentang sistem manajemen kinerja yang sistematis, konsisten, dan komprehensif, yang memungkinkan evaluasi berbasis kompetensi, tujuan, dan rencana pengembangan karyawan secara online.

Published: November 2024

La superficie cultivada con cebollas (Allium cepa L. var. cepa) en la Argentina ha mostrado un constante incremento durante los últimos 10 años, alcanzando las 27.776 ha en 1998, con una producción de 699.360 t. La implantación del cultivo en forma comercial puede realizarse por dos métodos: la siembra de semillas o la plantación de bulbos.El primero es el más usado para la obtención de bulbos, y el segundo es recomendado para la producción de semillas de categoría prebásica y básica, ya que controla mejor la pureza genética del cultivar. Este trabajo describe el ciclo de cultivo de la cebolla, con el objetivo de analizar la evolución de los órganos que permiten la rebrotación y la obtención de dos cosechas de semillas de bulbos selectos. Los ensayos se realizaron en la EEA La Consulta del INTA, Depto. San Carlos (Mendoza),en cuatro fechas de plantación durante 1994-1995 y 1995-1996. Para establecer la potencialidad de rebrotación se evaluaron cualitativa y cuantitativamente los órganos formados por los meristemas que perduraron luego de la floración. Se observó un aumento del número total de bulbos por planta en las plantaciones tardías, lo que redundó en una mayor producción de semillas en la segunda floración.
Quantum String Models and Celestial Mechanics: Applying the "Filament Lightbulb" Analogy to Quasars And Celestial Bodies
Authors: Carrasco-Jiménez Edison
Published: November 2024

This paper explores the conceptual analogy between quantum string theory and celestial mechanics, specifically in the context of quasars and other astrophysical bodies. Drawing from the "filament lightbulb" model, where the string is considered a dual mechanical-electromagnetic object, we propose that quasars, with their intense electromagnetic emissions, can be modeled similarly to atoms in a quantum mechanical system. We apply this analogy to describe the mechanical and electromagnetic dynamics of celestial bodies, showing how string theory’s vibrational modes can be used to understand the mechanics of gravitationally bound systems in astrophysics. Furthermore, we explore how recent contributions by Fields Medalists in mathematics have enriched our understanding of string theory, quantum gravity, and astrophysical phenomena.
