Measuring intra-industry trade and productivity in the South African pharmaceutical sector
Authors: Malimba Nwabisa , Mutambara Tsitsi E. , Marire Juniours
Published: August 2024

Background: The South African pharmaceutical sector is Africa’s largest and most advanced but heavily depends on imported products and active pharmaceutical ingredients to meet its demands. The status quo is due to low intra-industry trade, which is necessary to induce innovation and technological progress essential for accelerating local production, export growth and reducing dependence on imports.Aim: The primary objective of this article was to examine intra-industry trade in South Africa’s pharmaceutical sector and subsequently, total factor productivity (TFP) as a key driver of intra-industry trade.Setting: Intra-industry trade was measured using data obtained from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development databases, while the TFP was measured using data from the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) covering 2001–2021.Method: The marginal intra-industry trade index (MIIT) and unmatched changes in trade (UMCIT) were used to measure intra-industry trade, while the Malmquist total factor productivity (MTFP) index was used to analyse SARB data to determine TFP.Results: The MIIT index and UMCIT revealed that trade is predominantly inter-industry with episodes of industry specialisation and significant intra-industry changes. The MTFP results showed that TFP is solely driven by technical changes.Conclusion: The study recommends that South Africa should develop a coordinated and sustainable innovation system in the pharmaceutical sector. This will help prevent sporadic technological advancements and promote intra-industry trade.Contribution: The article contributes to the empirical literature on intra-industry trade in developing countries by showing the correlation between an improvement in TFP and an increase in intra-industry trade necessary to stimulate domestic production to reduce high import demand.

Hypothesised relationships were tested using structural equation modelling.Results: The results revealed that information sharing is positively associated with stakeholder trust, governance and administration and stakeholder relationship continuity. Stakeholder trust, governance and administration, and stakeholder relationship continuity are positively related to the fluency of stakeholder collaboration. Full mediation between the constructs was observed for all relationships tested in the study.Conclusion: The article demonstrates the application of information sharing through, stakeholder trust, governance and administration, and stakeholder relationship continuity in predicting supply chain performance in South African municipalities. The overall outcome of the study is that information sharing and stakeholder relationships are essential drivers of municipal supply chain performance.Contribution: The study contributes to supply chain management literature by providing insights into how municipalities can utilise information to improve stakeholder relationships and enhance service delivery performance. This study could unlock some keys to overcoming municipal service delivery challenges in South Africa.
Organ Transplantation – Judgements Beyond Customary Rules and Concepts
Authors: Albert Shyama , Upendran Binu
Published: August 2024

The permission for transplantation granted by the Authorisation Committee (District Level/State Level Committee for approval of unrelated transplants) and the Competent Authority (Hospital-based committee for approval of related transplants) is pivotal in preventing illegal practices in human organ transplantation. Interpreting some complex and challenging aspects of the Transplant Act sometimes makes the Authorisation Committees and Transplant Centres become excessively cautious and reluctant in granting permission for transplantation. This article recounts some significant judgements passed by the Honourable High Courts of India where the courts overruled the decisions of the aforesaid sanctioning authorities and granted permission for transplant either by bringing in amendments or by changing the way of interpretation of the transplant laws. Apart from resolving the mental and physical anguish of the patients and their families, these judgements also shed light on some of the grey areas of the transplant act.
Combustion Mode Evaluation of a Methanol–Diesel Dual Direct Injection
Engine with a Control of Injection Timing and Energy Substitution
Ratio
Authors: Zhao Yifan , Liu Xinyu , Kook Sanghoon
Published: August 2024

Methanol, as a renewable fuel, is an attractive option for internal combustion
engines. The dual direct injection method is one of the most promising
strategies for applying methanol fuel in diesel engines as the flexible
injection control enables combustion mode switching. In this study, a 1-L
single-cylinder common-rail diesel engine with a compression ratio of 17.4 is
retrofitted by installing an additional methanol direct injector with 35 MPa
injection pressure. The engine is operated at 1400 rpm, intermediate load, and
fixed midpoint combustion phasing of 10 °CA aTDC with a fixed total amount of
energy while applying an energy substitution principle with up to 70% energy
supplied by methanol. From the experiments, three distinct combustion modes were
identified. When early methanol injection timings were selected in the range of
180–60 °CA bTDC, the primary combustion mode was premixed burn. Late injection
timings of 10 °CA bTDC to TDC led to heat release rate shapes of the diffusion
flame mode. In between these injection timings, partially premixed combustion
was achieved where the higher methanol substitution ratio achieved carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction by up to 11% and nitrogen oxides
(NOx) emission suppression by up to 12%. It was also found that
with increasing methanol energy substitution ratio, a significant reduction in
smoke emissions was achieved. However, the decreased power output and increased
emissions of unburnt hydrocarbon (uHC) and carbon monoxide (CO) were measured
due to incomplete combustion caused by lower flame temperature of methanol.
Uniaxial Stress and Strain Analysis of a Notched Component Made of
Cast Irons
Authors: LaCourt Cameron , Lee Yung-Li , Gu Randy
Published: August 2024

This article investigates the deformation mechanics of cast iron and its
implications for notch analysis, particularly in the automotive industry. Cast
iron’s extensive use stems from its cost-effectiveness, durability, and
adaptability to various mechanical demands. Gray, nodular, and compacted
graphite cast irons are the primary types, each offering unique advantages in
different applications. The presence of graphite, microcracks, and internal
porosity significantly influences cast iron’s stress–strain behavior. Gray and
compacted cast iron display an asymmetrical curve, emphasizing low tensile
strength and superior compression performance due to graphite flakes and crack
closures. Nodular cast iron exhibits a symmetrical curve, indicating balanced
mechanical properties under tension and compression. The proposed simplified
macrostructural approach, based on monotonic stress–strain, aims to efficiently
capture graphite and crack closure effects, enhancing compressive strength and
stiffness. By employing the Neuber and Molski–Glinka methods for notch analysis,
we assume nominally elastic behavior of notched components. This represents a
novel application for gray and compacted cast iron, aiding in predicting
material fatigue life, as demonstrated in other materials with asymmetrical
behavior.
A Multi-Target Urban Transportation Structure Model under the Optimal
Capacity Limitation of Road Networks
Authors: Zhang Jinwei , Gao Jianping
Published: August 2024

The construction of urban transportation infrastructures on the supply side is
severely limited due to the extensive development of central urban land.
Therefore, optimizing the traffic structure with limited resources is
particularly important. The work used the optimum capacity of the road network
as one of the constraints. Multi-objective linear programming was used to
establish the traffic structure model. The total travel volume, energy
consumption, travel quality, and social cost were selected as the optimization
objectives of the urban transportation structure. The influencing factors of
infrastructure capacity (e.g., total travel demand, optimal capacity of road
network, slow traffic capacity, and parking lot capacity) were selected as the
constraint conditions in optimizing urban transportation structure. The
objective was to develop an optimization model considering the constraints of
urban infrastructure. Finally, the optimal traffic structure was compared with
the actual travel structure using the actual case of Yuexiu District, Guangzhou,
China. Suggestions were provided for optimization.
Exploration of a Precise Traffic Restriction Policy on Urban
River-Crossing Corridors: A Case Study in Changsha, China
Authors: Liu Chenhui , Luo Qiuju , Wang Xingyu
Published: August 2024

Many cities are built around rivers in the world, and the river-crossing
corridors are often their traffic bottlenecks, leading to severe congestions.
Changsha is a city divided into two parts by a river with eight river-crossing
corridors in China. Aiming at this issue, take Changsha as an example, this
study explores developing a precise traffic restriction policy on those
river-crossing corridors. First, an investigation is conducted to collect
traffic flow data of those corridors. It is found that those corridors generally
have serious congestion at peak hours, but their congestion levels vary greatly
by corridor and direction. Then, two Greenberg models are developed for the
4-lane and 6 & 8-lane corridors, respectively, to figure out their traffic
flow features. Third, a precise traffic restriction policy that balances traffic
flows in different corridors is proposed. It would restrict 10% of motor
vehicles on those most congested corridors, and the restricted vehicles are
proportionally diverted to the neighboring non-congested corridors by detour
distances. Finally, based on the estimated Greenberg models, traffic speeds of
those corridors after traffic restrictions are then predicted. It is found that
traffic congestions in those congested corridors are greatly alleviated, and the
average travel speed of all the corridors increases by 2.8 km/h at the AM peak
and 4.5 km/h at the PM peak, respectively.

Optimal control with the effects of ivermectin and live stock availability on malaria transmission
Authors: OCHIGBO JOSEPHINE ELAMMA , Ndam Joel N. , Sirisena Wipuni U.
Published: August 2024

Malaria remains a global threat and the conventional methods used for combating the disease leave out mosquitoes that feed outdoors. This study addresses the challenge posed by such mosquitoes based on a tool called ivermectin drug which is lethal to mosquitoes that ingest bloodmeal containing a concentration of it. We formulated a mathematical model with three control tools (insecticide treated nets, treatment of infective individuals and ivermectin drug on livestock and humans) for the transmission and control of malaria under optimal condition. The model’s basic reproduction number, R0 was estimated and the local and global stability analyses of the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points of the model were carried out. Sensitivity analysis carried out showed that R0 is most sensitive to the mosquito biting rate and to the proportion of blood meal on human with cattle availability in such a way that any percent increase in the value of any of these parameters will lead to an equal percent increase in the value of R0. The result of an optimal control analysis based on three time dependent controls suggests that the combination of all three controls gives the best result followed by the strategy that combines the use of ivermectin drug and the treatment of infective human. Depending on available resources, any of these is recommended to be adopted in malaria intervention programmes because of their effectiveness on both the infective human and mosquito populations with the potential of contributing significantly to the disease elimination within a minimal time frame.

Authors: Lim Lek Ming , Yang Lu , Mohamed Ahmad Sufril Azlan , Ali Majid Khan Majahar
Published: August 2024

Pulau Pinang has introduced several measures to enhance traffic safety and promote sustainability, including the installation of CCTV systems and the implementation of smart solutions and green technology as part of the Penang 2030 vision, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, despite these efforts, road accidents persist due to non-optimised detection models, incomplete data from manual reporting, and technological constraints in real-time video analysis and predictive modelling. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the YOLOv7+G3HN framework for vehicle detection and near-miss analysis, with a focus on the influence of video quality on detection performance. The research aims to understand how high- and low-quality video inputs affect the accuracy and computational efficiency of detection algorithms. High[1]quality videos resulted in significantly faster computation times for vehicle detection than low-quality videos, highlighting the importance of video resolution in optimising detection processes. Despite the robustness of the algorithm, with no errors detected in both video qualities, higher miss detection rates in low-quality videos suggest that lower resolution may compromise detection accuracy and the effectiveness of monitoring systems. Near-miss analysis revealed that high-quality videos had a lower probability of near-miss occurrences than low-quality videos, highlighting the importance of video resolution for detection efficacy. These findings emphasise the critical role of high-resolution video inputs in enhancing detection accuracy and reliability, advocating for their implementation to optimise vehicle detection and improve road safety. Additionally, YOLOv7+G3HN outperforms YOLOv7 in both accuracy and speed. The study concludes that the YOLOv7+G3HN framework is effective for vehicle detection and near-miss analysis, provided that video quality is considered in system design and implementation.
A Systematic Review of Complication Rates in Elderly Age Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Lengkong Andriessanto Ceelvin
Published: August 2024

Knee arthroplasty is a commonly performed surgical procedure to treat knee osteoarthritis and has been shown to be effective in relieving pain and improving knee function in patients. However, like any surgical procedure, knee arthroplasty also carries a risk of complications. The risk of complications in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty is generally higher than in younger patients. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature to assess complication rates in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. This research used a systematic literature review (SLR) method following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were collected by conducting a literature search in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. The collected data were then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that patients over 80 years of age had a higher incidence of morbidity and mortality compared with younger patients after undergoing knee arthroplasty, including revision surgery. Elderly patients had a higher rate of medical complications after knee arthroplasty, as well as longer hospital stays. The higher complication rate in elderly patients compared to younger patients can be explained by several main factors, including decreased physiological function, comorbidities, and limited medication options. The findings underscore the importance of thorough preoperative assessment and careful postoperative management in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.

Authors: Nabila Nadiya , Ayuningtyas Dumilah
Published: August 2024

The issue of long waiting times for outpatients remains a prevalent problem in healthcare services, particularly in hospitals. This can be mitigated through the implementation of an effective patient scheduling system, such as an online or web-based scheduling system. However, such systems are not widely utilized and have not received significant attention in Indonesian healthcare services, especially in public healthcare services. This study aims to identify the advantages of an online reservation system and determine the influential factors for developing an effective outpatient scheduling system for patients. A literature review was conducted using a systematic approach, searching through databases such as PubMed, ProQuest, and Scopus for publications from the past 5 years. The initial search using keywords "online reservation" OR "web-based reservation" OR "appointment system" AND "outpatient" AND "waiting time" AND "hospital" yielded 85 relevant literature sources. The PRISMA framework was then applied to narrow down the selection to 9 relevant literature sources, which were reviewed in-depth. The findings revealed numerous advantages of implementing an online scheduling system, including increased patient satisfaction, enhanced patient-centeredness, reduced patient absences, decreased workload for doctors and medical staff, among others. This review suggests that there are numerous advantages to implementing online or web-based reservation systems, as well as various types of online scheduling systems that can be applied and implemented in healthcare services. Practical implications and suggestions for further research are also discussed in this study.

Mobile application-based education has proven to be effective in improving adolescents' knowledge and skills regarding P3K. Mobile applications can be an efficient and accessible means to disseminate important information about P3K to teenagers.
Analysis of the Financial Feasibility Study of Investment in Electricity Infrastructure Development Using the Monte Carlo Method Case Study of the Construction of GITET 500 kV Cikande
Authors: Haechal Ficry , Sudiarto Budi
Published: August 2024

The development of electricity infrastructure is an important part of the planning of the electric power system in order to ensure that the condition of the electricity system can meet the load growth plan while still paying attention to safety and economic factors. The 500 kV Cikande Extra High Voltage Substation (GITET) and its 150 kV Outlet are one of the infrastructures that will be built by PT PLN (Persero) with an operational target in accordance with the General Plan for the Provision of Electricity (RUPTL) for 2021 – 2030 in 2025. To be able to carry out the infrastructure development, PT PLN (Persero) needs to prepare a large enough investment fund so that it is necessary to carry out a financial feasibility analysis at the time the investment will be carried out, but the financial feasibility analysis currently carried out still uses a deterministic method, where the input parameters used in the calculation of financial feasibility have not considered the element of uncertainty/risk that will affect the output of the calculation of the financial feasibility study. In this study, the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Payback Period (PbP) values will be tested against the required investment value by simulating changes in several input parameters simultaneously using the Monte Carlo method. This research aims to ensure that the investment issued by PT PLN (Persero) meets the parameters of financial feasibility by considering the element of uncertainty/risk in the future.

Published: August 2024

In Indonesia, Cryptocurrency, on the one hand, is not recognized as a legal tender, so it does not have a legal umbrella, and the risk of its use is borne by the user himself. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies are included in the list of commodities that can be used as the subject of Futures Contracts traded on the Futures Exchange because, from their use, it is expected to make a positive contribution to futures trading in Indonesia. These two contradictory things of cryptocurrency regulation are then faced with a phenomenon called cryptocurrency-based TPPU. This study uses a descriptive method combined with a qualitative approach. The data in this study is primary data sourced from the results of interviews and data from the Metro Jaya Police, and the secondary data used to support the research is literature in the form of books, research journals and online scientific journal data. The data that has been collected is analyzed by data reduction methods and triangulation techniques. The location of the research is the Metro Jaya Police and the University of Indonesia Library. From this study, it is known that in Indonesia, there are no special rules governing this cryptocurrency-based anti-corruption, and there has been no cooperation between law enforcement for its prevention.
Analysis of the Application of Fault Current Limmiter in 500 Kv System When the Entry of Power Plants in 2023-2028 to Lower Short Circuit Level at 500 KV Gitet Java Madura Bali System
Authors: Kusuma Komang Teddy Indra , Sudiarto Budi
Published: August 2024

The Java Madura Bali system is the largest interconnection system in Indonesia, covering about 70% of the national electrical energy market. Electricity sales increased from 125.49 TWh in the first half of 2021 to 133.87 TWh in the first half of 2022. To maintain power balance and support energy consumption growth, additional power plants are integrated according to the RUPTL. This research aims to anticipate the increase in short circuit levels for both single-phase to ground and three-phase faults at the Extra High Voltage Substation due to new power plants, ensuring the short circuit level remains below 40 kA, in line with equipment standards. This prevents the costly replacement of 500 kV transmission system equipment. Using the Digsilent application, the study models the existing system, maps the N-1 contingency, and calculates the short circuit levels after the integration of power plants from 2023 to 2028. The results identify the type and optimal location of fault current limiters. Installing these limiters is expected to reduce the short circuit level by 5%, avoiding the need to replace transmission and substation equipment rated at 40 kA. Consequently, the 500 kV system of Java Madura Bali can operate reliably with the new power plant integrations.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to assess rural populations’ understanding of environmental protection. This study highlights the cognitive aspects of rural people regarding their surrounding environment. A paper-based, structured questionnaire was designed to collect data. A random sample of 317 participants was selected to represent the entire population. The questionnaire was distributed by posting it to their national addresses. A total of 270 valid responses were collected. The findings revealed that respondents had a moderate level of knowledge about protecting the rural environment from water pollution (67 %). Their knowledge of air pollution was low (94.4 %); however, their level of understanding about food pollution was high (79.6 %). The results indicate that 20 % of the variance in overall knowledge regarding the environment can be predicted from the combination of predictor variables (education, income, tendency to change, aspiration for a better environment, and tendency to protect the environment). Predictor variables, including the willingness to protect and improve the environment and the tendency to change, can positively affect overall environmental knowledge. In fact, participants’ attitudes toward these variables are low. These factors are crucial to the dissemination of environmental information.

A evasão é um processo em constante crescimento que causa transtornos às Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) de âmbito público e privado. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se identificar razões à evasão universitária de discentes no curso de gestão de cooperativas. A amostra para estudo foi composta por estudantes da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo (UFRB), com 36 respostas consideradas válidas. Com base no instrumento de coleta de dados, foram colhidas respostas, por meio de perguntas que caracterizavam o respondente e a identificação das possíveis circunstâncias que contribuíam para o processo de evasão universitária. Para análise dos resultados, foi utilizada a estatística descritiva. Os achados permitem inferir que há certa relevância da questão de renda no que tange à evasão, visto que muitos estudantes afirmaram que precisam ter uma dupla jornada entre estudar e trabalhar. Além disso, outros achados foram relevantes tais quais: escolaridade dos pais e adaptações a vida acadêmica. Ainda com base nos resultados, os índices que obtiveram maiores médias foram: “você percebeu que não se sentirá bem na profissão”; “você entrou no curso porque passou no processo de seleção, mas, na verdade, essa não foi a sua escolha e ainda não tem certeza se essa profissão oferecerá o retorno financeiro que você deseja”. Como contribuição do estudo, destacam-se razões que contribuem para o processo de evasão no curso de Gestão de Cooperativas, no qual compreende que as questões sociais possuem um grande impacto nesse processo, o que ressaltado, exclusivamente, pelas questões de renda e educacionais. Em âmbito prático, é possível perceber que são necessárias não só ações de viés estruturais e sociais, mas também, voltados a quesitos educacionais.

Pest infestations are in the group of main issues farmers deal with. Detecting the infection manually in its early stages is a big challenge farmer’s face while interacting with pest attacks. The rapid spread of sickness is causing farmers to endure significant losses. This enormous Loss is unable to manage until the insect's invasion is handled physically. This approach aims to identify insect’s assaults in its early stages. This study suggests an automatic approach to recognize insect’s attacks and alerting farmers to infections. The RaspberryPi 3B is connected to humidity and temperature sensors for measurement. The plant’s pictures are taken for further processing. Later, we compare them with healthy images. We have compared the threshold values for humidity and temperature. When the readings of humidity and temperature in the acquired image surpass the threshold values that could be classified as an affected image. Because it differs from the healthy leaf that was sampled. The diseased leaf is recognized, finally, the agriculturist is notified via TWILIO. The affected leaf is identified, and the farmer is notified via the TWILIO. The real-time data are examined with the sample data.

Flame thermal spraying is an important technique in surface treatment of many materials exposed to external corrosion, including turbine blades in power plants, bridges, and oil pipelines. Therefore, a ceramic material represented by aluminum oxide Al2O3 was used as a base material and copper metal Cu was added at different reinforcement ratios of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%Wt. To form a cermet alloy. The two powders were mixed after taking into account the copper concentrations, and the mixture was placed in the flame thermal spraying device crucible. The acetylene gas ratio was fixed at 0.7 bar and oxygen at 4 bar as the best mixing ratios obtained. The coating process was carried out on out-of-service turbine blade bases with dimensions of 20mm×5mm in a circular shape. After completing the coating process, the samples were sintered in a thermal oven at 1100°C for only one and a half hours. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) of the samples was examined and it was found that by adding copper we get a regular and homogeneous structure, and it was found that the best reinforcement with metal is 25%Wt. After sintering, it was also found that the average grain size is approximately 109nm. An EDX spectroscopy was also conducted to show the materials that were mixed for both alumina and copper. Some mechanical properties were also examined which showed that the best mixing ratio is (75%Wt.Al2O3-25%Wt.Cu) after sintering, at which the micro-Vickers hardness was found to be (605 kg/mm2), and the wear rate was calculated which gave the lowest value (1.84×10-6g/cm). While the adhesive strength was calculated for a coated and uncoated sample to find that the best mechanical adhesive strength is (53 MPa). The true porosity and water absorption were calculated to give the lowest values at the lowest reinforcement ratio which is 25%Wt.
