Published: July 2024

Planning is a critical process in establishing organizational goals, strategies, programs, and activities to achieve desired results effectively and efficiently. Through planning, educational goals can be determined, including financing that involves various parties such as the central, regional, and community governments. The planning process also includes the allocation of required resources, to improve the quality of education through funds such as the School Operational Assistance Fund (BOS) Program, and Educational Operational Assistance (BOP). Education costs include direct costs related to educational activities and indirect costs that support the educational environment. Financing standards are set to meet the minimum educational operational needs for one year, with components such as investment, and operational and personal costs. This research uses a library study method to collect and analyze data from secondary sources. The research results show that financing is a vital aspect of education management, involving funding from various sources to ensure the continuity and improvement of the quality of education. Efficient budget allocation can increase the effectiveness of the education system by maximizing the use of resources.

Published: July 2024

The differences in self-conceptualization, Western culture focuses on individuality while Eastern culture focuses on the harmony of social relations, causes the concept of authenticity as a universal personality concept to be different in each culture. For this reason, it is necessary to adapt the Authenticity Scale in the Indonesian context. The Authenticity Scale developed by Wood et al. (2008) is a popular instrument used in authenticity research, relevant for multicultural societies, and has been adopted in many countries. Testing the reliability & validity of the Indonesian version of the Authenticity Scale consisting of 12 items was carried out through two studies (N=394). The results of Study 1 (N= 197) show that this instrument is reliable and valid in all three dimensions. Study 2 (N=197) found that the Authenticity Scale correlated with subjective well-being and self-esteem. This article presents a reliable and valid instrument of perceived authenticity in Indonesia that psychologists, counselors, and researchers can use.

The amount of electricity production provided by wind farms is increasing globally. In this regard, the accurate and reliable wind power forecasting for ensuring efficient operation of wind farms as part of energy systems is becoming crucial issue. The most rarely considered among the possible methods for prediction errors reducing is changing of the prediction responses and the individual wind turbines power aggregation method: forecasting at the turbine level, at the groups of turbines and at the wind farm level. There is no consensus yet on which approach is most effective. Also, the issue of taking into account the wind turbines operational state is not adequately covered in reported studies on the wind power forecasting. And the observations corresponding to the switched-off state of turbines are most likely considered as outliers. In this paper the effect of spatial smoothing within a wind farm is investigated and the evaluation of the response selection and individual turbines power aggregation approaches effectiveness in terms of the wind farm output prediction is performed. And finally, a new technique for taking into account the number of switched-off wind turbines based on response transformation for short-term wind power forecasting at the turbine groups and wind farm levels is proposed. Key words. Wind power forecast, aggregated forecast, data preprocessing, wind turbine operational state, response transformation, machine learning.

In this work, the analysis of the wave energy flux and the identification of potential sites for future development of wave energy converters in the Mediterranean Sea, is presented. The most recent reanalysis wave dataset (MEDSEA_MULTIYEAR_WAV_006_012), from the platform of Copernicus Marine Service was used, featuring high spatial and temporal resolution (~3.5 km and 1 h, respectively). The study considered a time series of wave spectral parameters (significant wave height and mean energy period) of 27 – years (1993 – 2020) length, in order to estimate the trends and the variability of the wave energy flux in the Mediterranean basin. The highest values of wave energy flux encountered in the area extending between the Gulf of Lyon and southwest Sardinia Isl. through the Balearic Sea, south to the areas near the Algerian coasts. A significant increasing trend was observed for the extreme values of wave energy flux, i.e., the 95th and the 99th percentiles. The results from the wave energy analysis combined with the corresponded relative water depths, revealed 3 areas with great wave potential for a potential future development of wave energy converters: the offshore areas near the coasts of Menorca Isl., Alghero and Annaba, respectively. Winter was the most energetic season for all areas, while Alghero was the area with the highest mean annual values of wave energy flux. Key words. Significant wave height, mean energy period, wave energy, Mediterranean Sea, long – term trend.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) require large amounts of annotated training data for good performance. Often this data is generated using manual labeling (error-prone and time-consuming) or rendering (requiring geometry and material information). Both approaches make it difficult or uneconomic to apply them to many small-scale applications. A fast and straightforward approach of acquiring the necessary training data would allow the adoption of deep learning to even the smallest of applications. Chroma keying is the process of replacing a color (usually blue or green) with another background. Instead of chroma keying, we propose luminance keying for fast and straightforward training image acquisition. We deploy a black screen with high light absorption (99.99\%) to record roughly 1-minute long videos of our target objects, circumventing typical problems of chroma keying, such as color bleeding or color overlap between background color and object color. Next we automatically mask our objects using simple brightness thresholding, saving us from manual annotation. Finally, we automatically place the objects on random backgrounds and train a 2D object detector. We do extensive evaluation of the performance on the widely-used YCB-V object set and compare favourably to other conventional techniques such as rendering without needing 3D meshes, materials or any other information of our target objects and in a fraction of the time needed for other approaches. Our work demonstrates highly accurate training data acquisition allowing to start training state-of-the-art networks within minutes.

Fish motion is a very important indicator of various health conditions of fish swarms in the fish farming industry. Many researchers have successfully analyzed fish motion information with the help of special sensors or computer vision, but their research results were either limited to few robotic fishes for ground-truth reasons or restricted to 2D space. Therefore, there is still a lack of methods that can accurately estimate the motion of a real fish swarm in 3D space. Here we present our Fish Motion Estimation (FME) algorithm that uses multi-object tracking, monocular depth estimation, and our novel post-processing approach to estimate fish motion in the world coordinate system. Our results show that the estimated fish motion approximates the ground truth very well and the achieved accuracy of 81.0% is sufficient for the use case of fish monitoring in fish farms.
Borrowing Absolute and Relative Gains to Science Diplomacy Conceptualization
Authors: Anshori Muhammad Fikry , Effendi Mutiara Rachmadini
Published: July 2024

Science diplomacy is an emerging concept in International Relations. But the existing traditional conceptualization of science diplomacy (science in diplomacy, diplomacy for science, and science for diplomacy) has optimistic scope and objective while ignoring the conflictual nature of international relations. This article argues borrowing relative and absolute gains can address the conceptual problem of science diplomacy. The borrowing presents a classification of science diplomacy into two types, prospective (using diplomacy to attain the maximum individual payoffs in science) and restrictive (using diplomacy to hinder others from advancing capabilities in science). By demonstrating it with Japan's science diplomacy in the inaugural meeting of Science and Technology in Society (STS) Forum and the first meeting of the East Asia Science and Innovation Area (e-ASIA) Joint Research Forum, this article found that the classification of science diplomacy as prospective and restrictive helps study the cooperative and competitive aspects of state actors' science diplomacy.

Regionale Disparitäten in der Transformation: Braucht es ein Update der deutschen Regionalpolitik?
Authors: Südekum Jens , Posch Daniel
Published: July 2024

The green transition will affect different places in diverse ways, as place specific and contextual factors, such as pre-existing industrial specialisations, shape how transitions unfold in various territories. In the absence of a place-sensitive approach to decarbonisation, regional disparities are likely to intensify. This may make those who will be potentially hard hit reluctant to support policies necessary for reducing GHG-emissions. Research shows that populist parties that have been the most vocal opponents of climate policies in many countries can capitalize on this sentiment. Thus, investigating how both economic and political costs of the transition will be distributed regionally is key to crafting policies that make a just transition possible. By drawing on the findings of Südekum and Rademacher (2024), the text at hand discusses how the costs of the green transition are likely to be distributed among regions in Germany and what to do about it. It calls for a proactive approach to regional policy and outlines how Germany’s most important regional policy programme can be updated.

Published: July 2024

The political debate regarding the consequences of the German “debt brake” continues. The arguments against its current design are similar to the arguments brought forward in 2009, when the rule was first introduced. One hot-button issue has always been whether the German debt brake constrains public investment. A recent study by Feld et al. (2024) applies the synthetic control method to address this question. Mühlenweg et al. (2024) criticise their approach, building on well-known arguments against the German debt brake. This article counters their arguments.

Authors: Hidayati Desti Ayu Setia , Adianto Joko , Gabe Rossa Turpuk
Published: July 2024

This qualitative study aims to discover the pivotal factors in housing transitions of Indonesian career women through their life-course events. In Indonesian patriarchal society, women have been struggling to participate in the decision-making process of home making despite their dominant role in everyday domestic activities and thorough understanding of their familial needs. A semi structured interview with seven career women was delivered to examine their housing transitions and the prominent factors of their current housing choice. Through thematic content analysis, this study concludes that the types of employment is the prominent factor of their financial empowerment through their housing transitions, especially for those who are public servants and private employees. Thus, encouraging equal job opportunities for women in their young adult phase would increase household’s affordability to obtain homeownership.

Introduction. Medical and economic analysis makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of medical organizations and justify management decisions to optimize their activities. The purpose of the study: to conduct a medical and economic analysis of the activities of medical organizations in St. Petersburg in providing medical care to patients with injuries in inpatient settings. Materials and methods: according to the data of the Territorial Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, a patient register has been formed with injuries (ICD-10 codes: S00.0–T09.9) for the period 01.01.2015–31.12.2023, n=1269235. The peculiarities of the application of compulsory health insurance tariffs for adults and children have been studied: The 1st group consisted of patients discharged from the emergency department (inpatient emergency department), the 2nd group consisted of patients admitted to the hospital and not treated in the intensive care unit, the 3rd group consisted of patients treated in the intensive care unit. The results of the study. During the specified period, the number of cases of inpatient medical care for patients with injuries in St. Petersburg decreased: among adult patients — by 32.5%, among children — by 50.3%; the decrease was due to a decrease in the number of patients of the 1st group. At the same time, the proportion of 1st group patients who received medical care in emergency beds (without hospitalization in hospital departments) increased: among adult patients to 65.1%, among children — to 20.1%. The cost of compulsory medical insurance to pay for medical care for adult patients increased by 66.9% to 1999.3 thousand rubles; the cost of paying for medical care for children increased by 71.0% to 575.6 thousand rubles.

Purpose and objectives of the study: the objective of the study is to provide a descriptive description of a group of patients who applied to the ambulance service due to an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of the study is to use the obtained data for the subsequent development of recommendations on the tactics of action for ambulance brigades when aiding with this group of patients. Materials and methods: retrospective analysis of patient charts (141 charts) for patients with exacerbation of COPD, performed in 2023 by emergency medical service (EMS) belonging to the district outpatient clinic No. 52 of St. Petersburg. The gender and age characteristics of this group of patients were studied, as well, as the duration of the exacerbation at the time of the brigade visit, the severity of the general condition and the severity of manifestations of respiratory failure (RF), comorbidity, the need for medical evacuation to the hospital. Results: the average age of patients with exacerbations of COPD who applied for EMS in 2023 was 69.5±9.88 years, among them 62.4% were male and 37.6% female. Comorbidity was detected in 68% of patients; among concomitant pathologies, bronchial asthma, diseases of the cardiovascular system, infectious diseases of the lower respiratory tract, and cancer predominated. In 81% of patients, the severity of the general condition was assessed as moderate to severe, mainly determined by the severity of RF. The duration of COPD exacerbation at the time of the brigade visit ranged from 1 to 14 days (average 5.5±6.9). Of the 141 patients, 75 (53.2%) were transmitted by ambulance teams to hospital ED. Conclusion: patients with exacerbation of COPD represent a specific group of patients, which is distinguished by older age, a high level of comorbidity, the presence of significant RF, and a high need for hospitalization.

Goal. To propose and justify a principle of assessing the severity of atrial fibrillation paroxysms at the prehospital stage. Materials and methods. The study included 398 patients who called an ambulance for paroxysms of atrial fibrillation. According to the results of the analysis of the call cards, the main severity criteria of paroxysm were identified: acute heart failure (HF), high heart rate, myocardial ischemia, hypotension, refractory to pharmacological antiarrhythmic therapy, as well as the impossibility of its use. Results. The contribution of each of the severity criteria to the determination of the degree was studied. The severity of paroxysm does not depend on its duration (p=0.81). The higher the severity of the paroxysm, the more difficult it is to stop (p=0.00) and the higher the need for hospitalization (p=0.01). Conclusion. We introduced the concept of «severity» of paroxysm and demonstrated its dependence on the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic therapy (p=0.00) and the number of hospitalizations (p=0.01). The number of patients whose sinus rhythm is restored at the prehospital stage decreases with increasing severity, and the number of hospitalizations increases.

Object. To study the peculiarities of eating behavior of senior schoolchildren and their dependence on physical development. Materials and methods. The study includes students of grades 8–11. Total 152 people. All teenagers passed an anonymous questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of the questionnaire «Eating Attitudes Test» (EAT-26). Anthropometric data, physical health indicators and incidence of acute and chronic diseases were additionally determined. The statistical processing of the material was carried out using the application package IBM SPSS Statictics 26. When assessing the relationships between the factors, the one-factor variance analysis of ANOVA with determination of the level of reliability and significance of indicators was used. Results. The evaluation of the data revealed a correlation of sex and scales such as aspiration to lean, bulimia and body dissatisfaction. Among females, the walling levels are statistically higher (Scale 1: Pr = 0.091; Scale 2: Pr — 0.016; Scale 3: Pr = 0.039) compared to males. Age is associated with scales of body dissatisfaction, perfectionism and distrust in interpersonal relationships. It is revealed that the older the teenager, the higher the wallein in these scales. High values of wallets in each scale were from 14.3% to 28.1%. Conclusion. Adolescents experience high expectations, feelings of loneliness, insecurity and inability to control their own lives. The group at risk is the female students in high school.
