The purpose of this study is to analyze the crimes that most threaten multiculturalfamilies among foreigners living in Pyeongtaek City and to propose effective crime preventionpolicies. To this end, the crime prevention policy of multicultural families in Pyeongtaek wasreviewed through literature research, its effectiveness and problems were revealed, and development plans were sought. As a result of the study, cultural differences, linguisticbarriers, and economic difficulties were the main causes of domestic violence in multiculturalfamilies. In addition, it was revealed that children from multicultural families were at highrisk of being exposed to delinquency due to domestic conflict and social discrimination, andthat the institutional foundation to protect them and not be alienated from society was veryinsufficient. Therefore, this study proposed four main measures as countermeasures for crimeprevention in multicultural families. First, it is a way to protect multicultural families moreeffectively by strengthening the legal protection system. Second, it is a way to promote socialintegration and strengthen language and cultural education so that multicultural families canadapt smoothly to Korean society. Third, it is necessary to strengthen the capabilities ofexperts working in fields related to multicultural families. Finally, it is necessary to establisha system that can continuously monitor the safety of multicultural families. If appropriateprotection and support for multicultural families are provided through these countermeasures,children from multicultural families will have an opportunity to grow into competitive globaltalents not only in Korean society but also in the international community. This is expected tohave a positive effect on the future development of Korean society beyond the stability andprosperity of multicultural families.

Authors:   The K Association of Education Research, Park Chan-Seok
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes the necessity of the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) and thefactors determining its efficiency for its introduction into South Korea's firefighting system. The concept of RIT originated from the emergency response teams in the United Kingdomand developed into the Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) in the United States. In South Korea,RIT operations and naming conventions varied across fire departments and stations; however,in 2023, the National Fire Agency established unified regulations under the name “RapidIntervention Team” and initiated pilot operations, marking the beginning of its nationwideimplementation. To identify the key factors determining the efficiency of RIT operations, expert Focus GroupInterviews (FGI) and importance analysis using the Likert scale were conducted. The analysisrevealed that among the 12 key factors, search and rescue skills, training and education, andRIT resource allocation were the most critical. This underscores the need for systematicimprovement in RIT operations. This study aims to propose a sound policy direction to ensurethe stable establishment and enhanced efficiency of RITs within South Korea's firefightingorganizations.

Authors: KOSTEK Osman
Published: January 2025

In this study, we aimed that the analysis of demographic characteristics, clinical parameters, treatment modalities, and chemotherapy
regimens in patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) sheds light on disease management. We scanned the electronic
database and patient files for patients with anal SCC who presented to our medical oncology outpatient clinic and treated between
January 1, 2002 and June 1, 2022. The study included 44 patients whose information was available. The study included a total of
44 patients. The median age was 59.0 (IQR 49.5-68.0) years. The female to male ratio was approximately 1.93, and 93.6% had an
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0-1. Approximately, half of the patients had a history of recent
or past smoking. The tumor location was predominantly (89.4%) anal canal and the tumor stages were 10.6%, 59.6% and 29.8%
for stage I, stage II and stage III, respectively. The mean follow-up was 50.0 (IQR 29.3-70.6) months. 3rd- and 5th-year -disease free
survival (DFS) rates were 82.8% and 77.9%, respectively. During the last follow-up, 76.9% of patients with anal cancer were alive and
75% of patients were disease-free. There was no statistically significant difference in the survival analysis and DFS times according
to age, gender and stage. The clinical and demographic characteristics, treatment modalities, and chemotherapy regimens in patients with anal SCC provide valuable insights into disease management. The diverse tumor staging and widespread use of definitive
chemoradiotherapy administered concurrently with mitomycin plus fluorouracil underscore the complexity of treatment decisions for

Authors: Karim Nurul Izzati Abd , Khairul Zuhairi Nurul Najwa
Published: January 2025

Subsurface utilities are essential assets that must be considered throughout any development work. Positioning and visualizing subsurface utilities before construction activity begins provides considerable benefits for good construction project management. However, the horrifying occurrences of a striking subterranean utility, on the other hand, cost billions of dollars in societal costs each year, today more than ever. The primary reasons of this issue were a lack of information about urban underground spaces and miscommunications between utility owners and contractors. The application of present-day technology in general and especially where it is combined with intricate visualisation techniques like, for example, Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming crucial in reducing such disasters. It has been recognized as a technique capable of enhancing information availability and utilization. As a result, organizing resources, sharing information, collaborating, and encouraging good communication between construction workers and utility owners is vital. Furthermore, in the construction industry, geographic information systems (GIS) provide an interoperability solution. The use of such technology in underground construction demands precise and current information. The primary purpose of this study was to visualize the buried utilities such as water pipeline, cables, and sewage systems in 3D model to enhance the understanding and management of these assets. This research methodology divided into three phases which are preliminary studies, data collection, and data processing and interpretation. This method was developed to build an accurate and dependable subsurface utility database while also demonstrating the viability of combining GIS and AR into a single system. The results of this study show that the system is suitable for subterranean construction and this study provided an effective method for collecting and exchanging data among stakeholders in the subterranean construction industry. The findings presented here aid academics and industries in future studies on the integration of GIS and AR by providing an overview of current applications and challenges.

To what extent does the CO2 diurnal cycle impact flux estimates derived from global and regional inversions?
Authors: Munassar Saqr , Rödenbeck Christian , Gałkowski Michał , Koch Frank-Thomas , Totsche Kai U. , Botía Santiago , Gerbig Christoph
Published: January 2025

Abstract. Ignoring the diurnal cycle in surface-to-atmosphere CO2 fluxes leads to a systematic bias in CO2 mole fraction simulations sampled at daytime because the daily mean flux systematically misses the CO2 uptake during the daytime hours. In an atmospheric inversion using daytime-selected CO2 measurements at most continental sites and not resolving diurnal cycles in the flux, this leads to systematic biases in the estimates of the annual sources and sinks of atmospheric CO2. This study focuses on quantifying the impact of this diurnal cycle effect on the annual carbon fluxes estimated with the CarboScope (CS) atmospheric inversion at regional, continental, and global scales for the period of time 2010–2020. Our analysis is based on biogenic fluxes of hourly net ecosystem exchange (NEE) obtained from the data-driven FLUXCOM-X estimates, together with global and regional atmospheric transport models. Differences between CO2 mixing ratios simulated with daily averaged and hourly NEE from FLUXCOM-X range between around −2.5 and 7 ppm averaged annually throughout a site network across the world. These differences lead to systematic biases in CO2 flux estimates from the atmospheric inversions. Although the impact on the global total flux is negligible (around 2 % of the overall land flux of −1.79 Pg C yr−1), we find significant biases in the annual flux budgets at continental and regional scales. For Europe, the annual mean difference in the fluxes arising indirectly from the diurnal cycle of CO2 through the boundary condition amounts to around 48 % of the annual posterior fluxes (0.31 Pg C yr−1) estimated with CarboScope-Regional (CSR). Furthermore, the differences in NEE estimates calculated with CS increase the magnitude of the flux budgets for some regions such as North American temperate forests and northern Africa by a factor of about 1.5. To the extent that FLUXCOM-X diurnal cycles are realistic at all latitudes and for the station set including many continental stations as used in our inversions here, we conclude that ignoring the diurnal variations in the land CO2 flux leads to overestimation of both CO2 sources in the tropical lands and CO2 sinks in the temperate zones.

Killing Us Quietly: Native Americans and HIV/AIDS
Authors: Vernon Irene
Published: January 2025

Over the past five centuries, waves of diseases have ravaged and sometimes annihilated Native American communities. The latest of these silent killers is HIV/AIDS. The first book to detail the devastating impact of the disease on Native Americans, Killing Us Quietly fully and minutely examines the epidemic and its social and cultural consequences among three groups in three geographical areas. Through a series of personal narratives, the book also vividly conveys the terrible individual and emotional toll the disease is taking on Native lives.

Exploring Native urban, reservation, and rural perspectives, as well as the viewpoints of Native youth, women, gay or bisexual men, this study combines statistics, Native demography and histories, and profiles of Native organizations to provide a broad understanding of HIV/AIDS among Native Americans. The book confronts the unique economic and political circumstances and cultural practices that can encourage the spread of the disease in Native settings.

The Legal and Ethical Considerations Surrounding Forced Arbitration of Sexual Harassment Claims in the Workplace
Authors: Emmanuel Chidi Ibekwe,
Published: January 2025

This study examines the legal and ethical issues surrounding forced arbitration of sexual harassment claims in the workplace. It seeks to answer the question: "What are the legal and ethical implications of mandatory arbitration agreements for workplace sexual harassment cases?" Through a literature review and analysis of case studies, the research highlights the challenges of arbitration's confidentiality, reduced compensatory outcomes, and potential biases favoring employers. Findings indicate that forced arbitration limits transparency, restricts employees' ability to achieve fair compensation, and perpetuates organizational secrecy, potentially discouraging victims from reporting incidents. The study concludes with recommendations for policy reforms, advocating for voluntary arbitration, increased public accountability, and regulatory oversight to create a fairer, more transparent system. The results emphasize the need for legislative changes and organizational practices that prioritize employee autonomy, support victims, and address power imbalances inherent in forced arbitration. Ultimately, these reforms could foster a safer and more equitable work environment, where victims are empowered to pursue justice.
The Impact of Mandatory Arbitration Clauses on the Ability of Low-Wage Workers and Other Vulnerable Populations to Achieve Justice in Employment Disputes
Authors: Emmanuel Chidi Ibekwe
Published: January 2025

Mandatory arbitration clauses in employment contracts significantly hinder the ability of low-wage workers and other vulnerable populations to seek justice in employment disputes. This study examines the systemic challenges these clauses pose, focusing on their disproportionate impact on marginalized groups, including women, minorities, and immigrants. Using a qualitative approach, the paper analyzes legislative developments, judicial precedents, and arbitration practices to uncover the inequities embedded in the current framework. Findings reveal that mandatory arbitration limits access to courts, reduces transparency, and enforces power imbalances favoring employers. Vulnerable employees often face insurmountable barriers, such as financial constraints, lack of legal knowledge, and limited procedural rights, further exacerbating workplace injustices. Key reforms, such as the proposed Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act, aim to address these issues but face political resistance. The study concludes that legislative action, enhanced employee protections, and increased public awareness are critical for reforming arbitration practices and ensuring equitable dispute resolution. Future research should investigate cross-national arbitration practices and the long-term effects on workers’ rights and workplace equity.

The objective: to develop the modern method of early diagnostics of heavy forms of placenta disfunction. Materials and methods. Taking into account clinical motion of pregnancy, from 100 women two groups of comparison were formed: I group was made by 50 women with placenta disfunction; II group – 50 women with placenta disfunction in combination with preeclampsia and by extragenital pathology. A control group (III group) was made 30 healthy expectant mothers. In the II group of comparison of preeclampsia diagnosed in 100% supervisions (easy degree – in 88,0% pregnant and middle degree – in 12,0%). In research the pregnant joined with the negative results of clinical and laboratory inspection on a urogenital infection.Results. Application of the developed methods, which represent the state of the basic biologi-cal systems which take part in forming of placenta disfunction, allows in good time to diagnose not only development from the II trimester of pregnancy but also it heavy forms, that at complex diagnostic approach (prognostic scale of factors of risk of decompensation; laboratory testing) enables in good time to begin preventive treatment. The got results allowed nosotropic to ground including of the developed criteria and degree of its severity, together with an ultrasonic constituent, in the diagnostic of this complication of preg-nancy program with the purpose of increase of its exactness. Results of early diagnostics and estimation of degree of its severity during pregnancy, based on the laboratory and ultrasonic testing (modified scale), in comparison with the histological verified diagnosis rotined that diag-nosis placenta disfunction correctly put in 91% supervisions, divergence was 9%. The analysis of coincidence of clinical and histological diagnoses at heavy forms rotined an increase to exactness of diagnostics at the use of the modified scale on 39,5% as compared to the use of scale, based only on ultrasonic criteria. Conclusions. The clinical algorithm of conduct of expectant mothers of risk group developed on the basis of evaluation diagnostic scale (ultrasonic and laboratory testing) is promoted by exact-ness of diagnostics of placenta disfunction on 26,1%, it heavy forms on 39,5%, instrumental in the choice of adequate obstetric tactic, to the improvement of perinatal results at the heavy forms of placenta disfunction on 60%. The got results allow to recommend the method of early diagnostics of heavy forms of placenta disfunction in a practical health protection.

It was conducted complex clinical-and-laboratory and functional inspection 200 women with a climacteric syndrome, which parted on the followings groups: 50 patients with a climacteric syndrome on a background pathology of the hepatobiliary system – I group; 50 patients with a climacteric syndrome on a background the disease of thyroid is a II group; 50 patients with a climacteric syndrome on a background combination of diseases of the hepatobiliary system and thyroid is a III group; 50 patients with a climacteric syndrome and absence of extragenital pathology is a control group. To the complex of the conducted researches were included clinical, laboratory, instrumental, statistical methods. Results. The basic indexes of the state of health of women which got a hormone replacement therapy on a background the combined pathology of thyroid and hepatobiliary system are characterized by the decline of the modified menopausal index on 52% for women with a cholecystitis; for patients with a fatty hepatosis – on 42%; with chronic hepatitis – on 32% and with autoimmuny thyroiditis – on 26%. The therapy conducted on the whole was instrumental in the improvement of quality of life 72% women with the diseases of thyroid; 68% – with combined thyroid and by hepatobiliary pathology and in 62% – with the diseases of the hepatobiliary system. Conclusions. Disease of thyroid and hepatobiliary system, especially at their combination, negatively influence on clinical motion of climacteric syndrome. Basic explanation of these aspects is more deep endocrinology and dysmetabolic violations, characteristic for the patients of this group.The use of hormone replacement therapy in combination with levothyroxine allows substantially to reduce frequency of climacteric violations and improve quality of life of patients of group high of risk.
