Published: January 2025

Стаття присвячена темі використання штучного інтелекту (ШІ) у логістичній галузі, Досліджено, що штучний інтелект відкриває нові можливості для оптимізації бізнес-процесів, підвищення ефективності й адаптації до змін у ринкових умовах. ШІ сприяє автоматизації завдань, аналізу великих масивів даних у реальному часі та прогнозуванню майбутніх потреб. Завдяки впровадженню таких технологій компанії отримують змогу оптимізувати маршрути транспортування, ефективніше управляти складськими операціями, мінімізувати витрати та скорочувати екологічний вплив.Виявлено, що однією з ключових переваг ШІ є його здатність обробляти великі обсяги даних і надавати точні рекомендації для прийняття стратегічних рішень, прогнозування попиту, враховуючи сезонність і ринкові тенденції, а також аналізувати логістичні маршрути для підвищення ефективності доставок.Обгрунтовано, що інтеграція ШІ змінює підхід до управління ланцюгами постачання. Використання SCM-систем у поєднанні з ШІ дозволяє координувати потоки матеріалів і інформації, підвищуючи прозорість та адаптивність усього процесу. ERP-системи з компонентами ШІ сприяють покращенню управління фінансами, людськими ресурсами та виробничими процесами. CRM-системи, доповнені штучним інтелектом, дозволяють забезпечити персоналізований підхід до клієнтів, підвищуючи їхню задоволеність і лояльність.Особливо важливим є впровадження ШІ в управління складськими системами (WMS) і транспортом (TMS). Завдяки інтелектуальним алгоритмам ці системи дозволяють автоматизувати процеси зберігання, зменшувати витрати на логістику та вибудовувати найкращі маршрути для перевезень. Такі підходи сприяють стійкості операцій та зменшенню впливу на довкілля.Досліджено, що ШІ створює нові можливості для використання автономних транспортних засобів, дронів і робототехніки у логістиці. Вони дозволяють виконувати складні завдання з мінімальним людським втручанням, підвищуючи швидкість і точність операцій.З’ясовано, що інтеграція ШІ у логістику супроводжується низкою викликів. Це стосується високих витрат на впровадження, необхідності збору великих обсягів якісних даних, а також потреби у кваліфікованих спеціалістах для розробки й обслуговування систем. Крім того, важливими залишаються питання етики, конфіденційності даних і забезпечення прозорості алгоритмів.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the ethnobotany biodiversity approach as a learning resource in the environment of SMA Negeri 1 Tempilang. Using biodiversity integrated with the community's traditional knowledge of plants (ethnobotany) in learning is crucial to increase students' understanding and awareness of the environment. The method used was a survey with a questionnaire instrument distributed to 35 SMA Negeri 1 Tempilang students to measure the level of knowledge, techniques, and obstacles to using ethnobotanical biodiversity in learning. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis, most students are at a high level of knowledge about ethnobotany, with 76 students or about 43.43% of the total population. Most of the other students were at a moderate level, with 50 students or about 28.57%. Deficient levels of knowledge have a relatively small number of students, with ten (5.71%) and 17 (9.71%), respectively. There is also a small number of students with a very high level of knowledge, namely 22 students or around 12.57%. Overall, the understanding and knowledge of ethnobotany among students is relatively good. The study results show that students understand ethnobotanical biodiversity well, but its use as a learning resource still needs improvement. The main obstacles include the limitation of learning materials and the need to utilize local potential. This study concludes the importance of integrating ethnobotany biodiversity materials in the school curriculum to increase environmental awareness and appreciation of local cultural richness. The results of this study can be a reference for the development of curriculum and learning strategies that are more relevant to local conditions.

Published: January 2025

Gudril crackers are a local food product of Cimindi Tourism Village, Pangandaran Regency, produced by the MSME Good Real Pasundan. These crackers are made from cassava using a uniqe manufacturing process that involves smoothing, pressing, steaming, cutting, and drying without the use of flour. This study aimed to analyze consumer preference for gudril crackers through hedonic testing. A hedonic test was conducted with 35 panelists using a 7-point likert scale (1=strongly dislike to 7=strongly like) to assess attributes such a color, aroma, taste, texture (crispness), and overall liking. The result showed that  the orignial gudril crackers and a variant with added mackerel had the highest average score (6.0) across all atributes, indicating a strong positive response from panelists. However, some areas for improvement were identified, particularly in the mackerel variant, where the savory taste, aroma, and texture could be optimized. In general, the aroma of gudril crackers has potential for enhancement. This study provides valuable information for Good Real Pasundan to further develop gudril cracker products that are more appealing to consumers and have the potential for wider market distribution.

Published: January 2025

PT Bukitapit Bumi Persada is a company engaged in oil well service including cementing, stimulation, fracturing, coiled tubing unit and nitrogen service. Hydraulic fracturing is a stimulation activity to repair wells due to damage to the formation by injecting fracturing fluid at high pressure to create channels and held with proppant so that the fractures formed do not close again. The TLJ-250 well in the Prabumulih field was stimulated using hydraulic fracturing on Sunday, April 24, 2022. The TLJ-250 well has sandstone lithology with low permeability of about 4 mD with a porosity value of 12% so that this well is not productive to produce hydrocarbons. The fracturing fluid used is water base fluid, which is a water-based fracturing fluid and the proppant used is carbolite 20/40. The process of hydraulic fracturing begins with a breakdown test, step rate test, mini frac, and main frac with the stages of injecting proppant starting with pre-pad, slug, pad, and flush. The reason for hydraulic fracturing in the TLJ-250 well is that the ex bore well is less economical when producing. After hydraulic fracturing, TLJ-250 well experienced an increase in permeability value of about 904.15 mD with an average permeability around 22.32 mD followed by an increase in productivity index (PI) with the Prats method around 3.75 and the Cinco-Ley method is around 3.57 times. The production rate at TLJ-250 well is 158 BFPD with oil production of 21 BOPD

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the main cutting edge angle of HSS (high speed steel) chisel and the depth of cut on the cylindricity of ST 60 steel workpiece in the longitudinal turning process. The material used is ST 60 steel with a specimen length of 200 mm and a diameter of 30 mm and turned along 200 mm using variations of the main cutting edge angle, Kr (30, 45, 60, 90o) and the depth of cut, a (0.5; 1; 1.5; 2.0 mm) and other variables are set at constant conditions. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the variation of the SS chisel cutting angle in the turning process produces an average total cylindricity value at a cutting angle of Kr 30o = 0.95 mm, Kr: 45o = 0.65 mm, Kr: 60o = 0.45 mm in other words, it can be concluded that the optimal cylindricity value occurs at a cutting angle of 90o = 0.15 mm. While the average cylindricity value at a cutting depth of a: 0.5 mm = 0.25 mm, a: 1 mm = 0.35 mm, a: 1.5 mm = 0.55 mm, a: 2.0 = 0.60 in other words that the optimal total cylindricity value is obtained at a cutting depth of 0.5 mm.

With the increase in the number of women of mature and elderly age, the question arises of maintaining health and quality of life during menopause. Although menopause is a physiological phenomenon, most women develop menopausal syndrome, which significantly worsens their overall well-being. The most effective method of treating menopausal syndrome is MHT — menopausal hormone therapy, which is most advisable to start during the menopausal transition and early menopause. However, the use of MHT can provoke thromboembolic and oncological complications. Therefore, a personalized approach to each patient is the most effective, taking into account the category of MHT acceptability by age and the presence of extragenital diseases.

Published: January 2025

The purpose to evaluate the trend of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) according to Cardiometabolic Disease Staging (CMDS) in young adults.

Material and methods. We performed a prospective observational study of 101 participants (M = 49 / W = 52) aged 33 [28.7–38] years, without cardiometabolic diseases, over 18.6 [17.4–20.1] months in Kazan. Participants were grouped into CMDS0 (metabolically healthy), CMDS1 (1–2 CMRF without prediabetes), CMDS2 (≥ 3 CMRF or prediabetes), and CMDS3 (≥ 3 CMRF and prediabetes). Data were processed using SPSS Statistics 26.

Results. At 18 months, we observed an increase in CMR in 29.7%, and a decrease in 21.8% cases. Risk progression from CMDS0 to CMDS1 was due to elevated occurrence of: systolic blood pressure (BP), abdominal obesity (AO), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Progression of CMDS0 to CMDS2 and CMDS1 to CMDS3 occurred due to onset of prediabetes. The elevation from CMDS1 to CMDS2 was primarily attributed to the onset of prediabetes, with AO and hypertriglyceridemia rarely contributing. Progression from CMDS2 to CMDS3 was associated with the increased frequency of prediabetes combined with AO, hypertriglyceridemia, and lower HDL-C. The risk reduction from CMDS1 to CMDS0 was due to decreased prevalence of elevated BP and dyslipidaemia, while reduction from CMDS2 to CMDS0 was due to lower prediabetes prevalence. The decrease from CMDS2 to CMDS1 resulted from a combination of aforementioned factors.

Conclusions. 18-month observation of young patients revealed a parallel increase in CMDS and incidence of AO, prediabetes, and insulin resistance. CMDS progression was often due to prediabetes and AO, while reduction was attributed to normalization of BP, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid profile.

Published: January 2025

In the middle of the 19th century, by the efforts of Prof. N.A. Vinogradov, a Society of Physicians was established at Kazan Emperor’s University. Obstetricians and gynecologists took an active part in it. By the end of the 19th century, they published more than 200 scientific works and defended 5 doctoral dissertations. The prerequisite to separate obstetricians-gynecologists into an independent society was created. This mission fell to Prof. V.S. Gruzdev. First, in 1924, a section was created, and in 1935 it was transformed into a branch of All-Russian Scientific Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Then it was renamed as Kazan Scientific Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. The chairman was Prof. V.S. Gruzdev, and after his death in 1938 — Prof. I.F. Kozlov. From 1948 to 1974 the Society was headed by Prof. R.V. Manenkov.

The purpose is to preserve the memory about the work of obstetricians and gynecologists.
Charles T. Loram's Decade in North America: From Black South Africans to Indigenous North Americans
Authors: Glotzer Richard
Published: January 2025

Early in the twentieth century, Charles Templeman Loram (1879–1940) fashioned a transnational career focussed on the education and control of colonized peoples. Starting with the education of Black South Africans, Loram took inspiration from the American model of “Negro industrial education,” formulated by Booker T. Washington. Loram’s authorship of The Education of the South African Native (1917) led to his appointment to the Native Affairs Commission in 1921. His liberal views (by South African standards) led to his eventual career derailment in 1929. Assisted by American philanthropic interests, an appointment at Yale University as the Sterling Professor of Education and chair of a new Department of Race Relations and Culture Contacts led to his emigration to the United States in 1931. There, Loram became involved with North American Indigenous peoples. Supported by philanthropic leaders and John Collier, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Loram was able to expand this work, retaining his former interests and travelling extensively in the colonized world. Loram took students to reservations and lectured and organized seminars and conferences on the Indigenous peoples of North America. The landmark North American Indian Today conference, held in Toronto in 1939, was the culmination of his activities involving Indigenous peoples. This article explores how Loram’s North America-based experiences influenced his view of Indigenous peoples. In an apparent contradiction, he rejected the view that there were innate racial differences between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, yet he continued to support racial segregation in education. For Loram, the disintegration of Indigenous cultures was inevitable, and full assimilation into “civilized” society an eventuality. Interspersed through this article are descriptions of Loram’s use of networking, illustrating his strategy for penetrating recently corporatized foundation structures and gaining access to sponsors, resources, and opportunities.
Le Conseil supérieur de l’éducation sous le gouvernement Lévesque (1976-1985) : entre recherche d'autonomie et éloignement
Authors: Lemieux Olivier , Warren Jean-Philippe
Published: January 2025

L’arrivée au pouvoir du Parti québécois de René Lévesque en 1976 annonce la poursuite du renouvellement du système scolaire initié par la Révolution tranquille. Après les années tumultueuses du règne libéral de Robert Bourassa, marquées par un très grand nombre de crises scolaires et syndicales, le changement de gouvernement remplit d’espoir le monde de l’éducation. Assez rapidement, cependant, les ministres péquistes de l’Éducation, Jacques-Yvan Morin et Camille Laurin, doivent relever des défis importants. Dans cet article, nous tâchons de comprendre comment le Conseil supérieur de l’éducation a œuvré au cours de cette période à préserver l’intégrité de sa mission, laquelle se voit menacée par la naissance d’un autre organisme conseil, le Conseil des collèges. Nous nous attardons aussi à l’évolution du Conseil supérieur de l’éducation, évolution marquée par des pratiques et des prises de position l’éloignant à la fois du gouvernement et de la population, entre autres à l’égard du financement de l’éducation et de la condition enseignante. En conclusion, nous décrivons en quoi l’arrivée de Pierre Lucier à la présidence semble entraîner un renouveau et une réorientation de l’organisme-conseil.

Authors: Sturmberg Joachim , Gainsford Len , Pond Dimity , Goodwin Nicholas
Published: January 2025

The nursing home sector globally faces significant challenges, including meeting residents’ diverse needs, adhering to regulatory demands, and addressing financial imperatives. These competing priorities often lead to fragmented care, preventable hospitalizations, workforce shortages, and systemic inefficiencies. This commentary examines the nursing home system through the lens of systems and complexity science, proposing a redesign framework that emphazises adaptive leadership, outcomes-focused governance, and alignment of organizational purpose, goals, and values. We identify systemic barriers across organizational levels and recommend principles for achieving holistic, person-centered care. Key strategies include fostering stakeholder collaboration, integrating feedback mechanisms, and redefining regulatory priorities to focus on resident well-being. This approach highlights the critical role of adaptive leadership in enabling systems that are flexible, sustainable, and capable of meeting the evolving needs of aging populations.

Malaysia's growing population of 33.7 million in 2023 highlights the pressing need for robust food security measures. However, the country's reliance on food imports, resulting in RM31 billion trade deficit in 2022, underscores challenges in achieving self-sufficiency. Concurrently, waqf, an Islamic endowment, offers untapped potential for societal benefit. Unfortunately, mismanagement and resource gaps have left many waqf lands idle. This study investigates global best practices to optimize waqf lands for enhancing food security in Malaysia. Using a qualitative approach, the research analyzes legal frameworks, reported cases, interviews, and administrative data. It explores innovative strategies such as legal reforms, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), cash waqf, corporate waqf, and modern agricultural technologies like GIS and precision farming. Aligning with policies like the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030, the study provides actionable recommendations for sustainable agriculture and community welfare. The findings aim to guide legal reforms, governance strategies, and innovative practices to ensure a secure, sustainable food supply, leveraging waqf for national benefit

Background: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate in the environment and pose health risks to residents. Exposure to radon gas increases the risk of lung cancer. Although extensive research has been conducted on radon levels in residential and occupational settings, little attention has been given to radon concentrations in dental materials.
Objectives: This study determines the concentration of radon gas in dental samples collected from the adult population in Najaf Governorate, Iraq. Accordingly, the primary objective of this study is to measure the concentration of radon gas in dental samples collected from residents of Najaf Governorate and to assess whether these levels pose any health risks according to established guidelines.
Methods: A total of 40 dental samples were collected from individuals aged between 18 to 85 years residing in different areas of Najaf Governorate, Iraq. The concentration of radon gas in the dental samples was measured using nuclear trace detectors. These detectors are sensitive to α particles emitted by radon gas, allowing for accurate measurement of radon concentrations in the samples.
Results: The average concentration of radon gas in the analyzed dental samples was 74.2±9.6 Bq/kg. This value was within the normal range for radon levels in dental samples and below the reference level of 100 Bq/kg recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Nevertheless, a significant percentage of dental samples contained detectable levels of radon gas, and some samples had concentrations that exceeded the recommended limits.
Conclusion: Radon concentrations in dental samples taken from adults in Najaf Governorate, Iraq, did not raise any major radiological health concerns; however, the presence of detectable levels of radon in some samples highlights the need for further research to understand the potential health risks of radon exposure in dental materials. The findings also underscore the importance of routinely monitoring radon levels in dental settings and implementing better safety precautions to protect dental professionals and patients.

Authors: Biemüller Ricarda
Published: January 2025

Der Beitrag befasst sich aus wissensgeschichtlicher Perspektive mit der Bedeutung des 1949 aus dem Exil zurückgekehrten Frankfurter Instituts für Sozialforschung für die Herausbildung einer sozialwissenschaftlich orientierten Bildungsforschung. Erkenntnisleitend hierfür ist die These, dass die am Institut seit Beginn der 1940er Jahre kontinuierlich entwickelten, geplanten sowie durchgeführten Forschungsprojekte zur (gesellschafts-)theoretischen Untersuchung und empirischen Erforschung der Erziehungs- und Bildungsverhältnisse als Episode dafür betrachtet werden können, was es heißt, Bildung und Erziehung zum Gegenstand sozialwissenschaftlicher Forschung zu machen.
Integrating Threat Intelligence into Real-Time Subdomain Risk Scoring Frameworks
Authors: Sanat Talwar
Published: January 2025

As cyber threats continue to evolve, ensuring the protection of subdomains against exploitation is a paramount challenge for enterprises. Current frameworks for evaluating subdomain risk primarily depend on static internal metrics, which restrict their responsiveness to emerging threats. This paper introduces a sophisticated framework that amalgamates various real-time threat intelligence sources, including VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and DNSDB, to augment the accuracy and scalability of risk scoring. By integrating dynamic external feeds with internal domain metrics, the framework offers a comprehensive and adaptable risk assessment model, empowering organizations to prioritize and address risks more effectively. Designed to scale for large enterprises with extensive subdomain frameworks, the proposed solution employs distributed processing and automation to provide real-time insights and responses.
Utilizing the USDA's National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey to calculate a household-level food environment measure
Authors: Ver Ploeg Michele , Scharadin Benjamin , Miller Lauren , Gonzalez Jeffrey , Odom Rodney ,   United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service
Published: January 2025

Utilizing the National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS) in conjunction with Circana's OmniMarket Core Outlets and USDA's Purchase to Plate Suite (PP-Suite), the authors calculated a household-level Food Retail Environment Healthfulness Quality (FREHQ) measure. The measure approximates a household's exposure to a healthy food retail space, weighting each store within a 20-mile radius of a household by its distance from the household. This process is used to calculate the FREHQ measure for FoodAPS respondents. The FREHQ measure allows for greater household heterogeneity and more nuanced analyses of the influence of the food retail environment on household food spending, food security, and other diet-related health conditions. This FREHQ can be used in conjunction with the rich granularity provided by the 2012-13 FoodAPS data but is also intended to be calculated with updated data and used in conjunction with future FoodAPS data

Published: January 2025

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been monitoring the U.S. farm sector's productivity performance since the 1960s. Today, USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) bases its U.S. agricultural productivity statistics on a sophisticated system of production accounts, drawing data from numerous sources. A notable feature of the U.S. productivity accounts is the input quality adjustment, as some inputs have undergone significant changes in their quality over time. According to USDA, ERS estimates, between 1948 and 2021, total farm output grew by 1.46 percent annually. With total input declining by -0.03 percent per year on average, total factor productivity has become the primary driver in promoting output growth, increasing by 1.49 percent per year. Over time, the input composition has changed, shifting from labor and land use to more use of intermediate inputs (e.g., fertilizer, pesticides, and purchased services) and durable capital assets (e.g., tractors, combines, and other machinery). Input quality changes in labor, capital (including land), and intermediate inputs have contributed positively to annual output growth by 0.11, 0.04, and 0.04 percentage points, respectively

Published: January 2025

USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) produces the Agricultural Trade Multipliers (ATMs)--a data product that provides annual estimates of the economic output and number of jobs supported by U.S. agricultural trade, with detail for 124 product groups. The ATMs are a resource for Government agencies, academics, and other stakeholders to estimate the effect that U.S. agricultural trade has on the farm and nonfarm sectors of the U.S. economy and the contribution of U.S. agricultural exports to employment and economic output. In 2021, ERS researchers overhauled the computer programming used to estimate the multipliers to implement an approach that was more streamlined and automated, while retaining the structure of the existing model. This bulletin outlines the methodology used in the new programming to access the data needed to estimate the ATMs and to utilize that information to calculate the estimates
A Corpus-Based Study on the Calquing of Arabic Subtitles in English and French Movies
Authors: Esraa Fattah  , Mohammed Albarakati  , Shuaa Alamri
Published: January 2025

Calques, also known as loan translations, are expressions that are translated literally from one language to another. Arabic subtitles of three English and French movies are utilized as a corpus for this study where their formation techniques are deduced and categorized as either lexical calques or structural calques following the categorisation proposed by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995: 32). Their calque quality is assessed and classified as good, or bad calques as proposed by Hervey & Higgins (2002, p.35) depending on their level of flouting to the TL norms. However, this study proposes adding a new category, to be referred to as ‘perfect calques’ to current binary good-bad categorization previously proposed by Hervey & Higgins (2002). Perfect calques are ones which would sound natural in Arabic to the extent that they would sweep unnoticeably into the stock of Arabic vocabulary. This study recommends that Arabic language authorities, government media bodies, academics, and translators should place importance on the issue of calquing in order to avoid language contamination.

Establishing long-term bonds and guaranteeing consistent and trustworthy services depend on confidence. Service quality can be hampered, though, by road congestion and unsuccessful deliveries. This study evaluates consumer trust in courier services by means of the SERVQUAL model; therefore, it addresses service quality.  More perceived performance suggests more improved service quality. Evaluating service quality enables operators to modify their activities to satisfy consumer expectations and acquire a competitive edge. Courier services may remain competitive and help local communities by concentrating on service quality and understanding consumer demands. The study aimed to assess the impact of service quality in customers’ trust to courier services towards possible business strategies proposal. The study found that service quality predicts customers' trust in courier service providers, with assurance being the best predictor. Tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy are essential for trust. The null hypothesis was rejected, indicating a significant impact of service quality on customer trust. A proposed business strategy was developed to enhance or maintain service quality and customer trust.
Enhancing Project Citizenship Behavior by Psychological Empowerment: Roles of Work Engagement and Perceived Organizational Support
Authors: Xiao Shugang , Hisham Kamaruddin Badrul , Tian Yang
Published: January 2025

Increasing evidence suggests that project citizenship behaviors (PCBs) are critical to project success. However, the mechanisms that enhance PCBs remain poorly understood, particularly regarding the role of individual psychological states. Based on self-determination theory, this study investigated how and when the psychological empowerment of information technology (IT) project managers affects their PCBs. Data were collected in two waves of time-lagged surveys (N = 283). Research hypotheses were tested by partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). It was found that psychological empowerment positively predicts PCBs, and work engagement plays a partial mediating role. Results of necessary condition analysis (NCA) provide additional evidence for this. Moreover, perceived organizational support strengthened the relationships between work engagement and two types of PCBs (i.e., loyalty behavior and initiative behavior), but did not significantly moderate the relationships between work engagement and the other two types of PCBs (i.e., helping behavior and compliance behavior). This study enriches the literature on PCB antecedents and expands the application of self-determination theory in project management.
