Authors: Devhare Deepa , Thakar Vrushali , Kumar Mahadevan , Jadhavar Sulochana , Modak Meera , Bhatawadekar Sunita
Published: August 2024

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a known human pathogen capable of causing community and hospital acquired infections worldwide. Treatment options available for MRSA infections are limited, with vancomycin being one of the most common drugs used. It is described in the literature that vancomycin can be ineffective against MRSA isolates with MIC values between 1-2 mg/litre. This slow and steady shift of vancomycin MIC values towards higher side over a period of time is known as “MIC creep”. The present retrospective study was carried out over five year period from January 2019 to June 2023. Staphylococcus aureus isolates from all clinical samples isolated during study period were included in the study. MIC50, MIC90, geometric mean MIC values were determined and analysed using Microsoft Excel. In the present study, the prevalence of MRSA was high (79.6%) in pus and tissue samples followed by blood sample (9.7%). Most of the MRSA isolates (55.80%) in present study exhibited vancomycin MIC of 1 µg/ml, there is no increasing trend of MIC values over a five year period. MIC creep is a slow and steady process which is multifactorial in origin. Regular monitoring of vancomycin MIC trend is advisable as vancomycin is the first-line treatment for culture proven severe infection with MRSA.

Taming Quantum Time Complexity
Authors: Belovs Aleksandrs , Jeffery Stacey , Yolcu Duyal
Published: August 2024

Quantum query complexity has several nice properties with respect to composition. First, bounded-error quantum query algorithms can be composed without incurring log factors through error reduction exactness. Second, through careful accounting thriftiness, the total query complexity is smaller if subroutines are mostly run on cheaper inputs -- a property that is much less obvious in quantum algorithms than in their classical counterparts. While these properties were previously seen through the model of span programs (alternatively, the dual adversary bound), a recent work by two of the authors (Belovs, Yolcu 2023) showed how to achieve these benefits without converting to span programs, by defining quantum Las Vegas query complexity. Independently, recent works, including by one of the authors (Jeffery 2022), have worked towards bringing thriftiness to the more practically significant setting of quantum time complexity.In this work, we show how to achieve both exactness and thriftiness in the setting of time complexity. We generalize the quantum subroutine composition results of Jeffery 2022 so that, in particular, no error reduction is needed. We give a time complexity version of the well-known result in quantum query complexity, Q(f∘g)=O(Q(f)⋅Q(g)), without log factors.We achieve this by employing a novel approach to the design of quantum algorithms based on what we call transducers, and which we think is of large independent interest. While a span program is a completely different computational model, a transducer is a direct generalisation of a quantum algorithm, which allows for much greater transparency and control. Transducers naturally characterize general state conversion, rather than only decision problems; provide a very simple treatment of other quantum primitives such as quantum walks; and lend themselves well to time complexity analysis.
Legal Protection and Law Assistance to Notaries as a Public Official in Indonesia
Authors: Zaki Muhammad , Saidin Saidin
Published: August 2024

The value of the rule of law is a source of moral norms in the Indonesian legal system. According to Number 2 of 2014, the position of a notary has not accommodated legal protection and law assistance for a notary as a public official. The Notary Honorary Council's approval is the only limit for the judicial process, investigators, public prosecutors, or judges. Article 66, paragraph 1, states that in the judicial process, investigators, public prosecutors, or judges with the approval of the Notary Honorary Council are authorized to take copies of the minutes of the deed and/or letters attached to the minutes or the notary protocol in the notary's depository. The council also has the authority to summon the notary to participate in the examination of the notary deed or protocol under their custody. It is necessary to investigate further legal protection and efforts to provide legal assistance to notaries as public officials. This research employs normative legal methods and a statutory approach. Laws and legal regulations regarding the legal protection of notaries are the data analyzed in the article. The results of this study indicate that, as public officials, notaries have legal protection and legal assistance from the profession. The protection obtained includes nondisclosure rights and obligations. Notaries also receive protection from the Notary Honorary Council. Suppose any law enforcement officer wants to confiscate a copy of the minutes of the deed and/or the letters attached to the minutes of the deed or the notary's protocol in the notary's depository. The Notary Honorary Council must approve it. If law enforcement officers want to call a notary for a review of a notary deed or protocol in the notary's custody, the council must also approve this request. The provision of legal assistance to notaries in dealing with legal processes is given through the expansion of the authority of the Notary Honorary Council in Article 66, paragraph 2, of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Positions.
Confiscation of Corruption Asset in The Indonesian Legal System: A Study of Criminal Law in Aceh
Authors: Syarafi Teuku , Syahbandir Mahdi
Published: August 2024

Confiscation of individual assets for criminal acts of corruption is important in handling corruption cases, because it is a means of recovering state losses. The confiscation of wealth aims to minimize state losses, not only must it be carried out from the start of handling the case by freezing and confiscation, but it also absolutely must be carried out in cooperation with other countries, where the proceeds of crime are located. This article examines legal policies related to asset confiscation and their alignment with criminal objectives. This research aims to analyze the rules and principles that exist in legal science. This research uses normative juridical research methods, specifically studying legal systematics to understand the fundamental aspects of criminal law. The data collection technique used was document study in the form of laws and other legal regulations, then interviews with judges in Banda Aceh. The findings reveal that the policy of confiscating assets from individuals engaged in corrupt practices can be pursued through criminal procedures, such as asset tracing, freezing, confiscation, and return. Furthermore, civil proceedings carried out by state attorneys can also facilitate the asset confiscation process. The confiscation of assets is fundamentally aligned with the purpose of punishment. It is essential to trace the assets obtained through corruption starting from the investigation stage, in order to impose restitution as an additional penalty on the perpetrators. However, obstacles arise in the actual implementation of asset confiscation. For instance, assets may have been transferred abroad by the perpetrators after being incarcerated by the court. Therefore, new legislation is required to deal with this problem.

Published: August 2024

The legal dualism in the Mandailing Natal community between the rules of school fiqh and the laws and regulations regarding divorce issues still leaves problems. This research aims to answer the phenomenon of divorce outside the Religious Courts in the Mandailing Natal community and the factors that influence it, then the legal consequences that occur in the Mandailing Natal community. This study uses sociological legal methods with a legislative approach and is analyzed philosophically. Data was collected by means of literature study and observation. The study found that the rules in fiqh state that divorce can be carried out anywhere and at any time without being limited by space and time as long as harmony and conditions are met, while the rules in legislation such as the Marriage Law, the Religious Courts Law and the Compilation of Islamic Law ( KHI) states that divorce can only be carried out in front of a court hearing, in other words, there are rules that must be fulfilled when seeking a divorce. The legal consequences of divorce outside the Religious Courts show that the legal rules were made with the aim of maintaining benefits and avoiding mafsadat. So the public needs to understand that even though divorce is a private matter, the presence of the government is an effort to guarantee the rights and legal protection of the community. So that Islamic law can be seen from various aspects of life, so that the goal of sharia, namely legal certainty and order, can be realized.

Published: August 2024

Repositioning the ihdad of career women is a phenomenon that involves changing the role and position of women in a professional context. A multi-perspective approach is needed for a complete grasp of this phenomenon, including philosophical, historical, juridical, and sociological studies. The research method is the normative method with a literature review (library research) with a phenomenological approach, historical approach, philosophical or philosophical approach to Islamic law (ushul fiqh), juridical approach (regulations and fatwas), and sociological approach, then combined with retrospective methods and analyzed qualitatively. According to the results, a thorough comprehension of women’s shifting roles and positions in the workplace can be seen in the repositioning of ihdad from a philosophical, historical, legal, and sociological standpoint. From a philosophical perspective, career women’s ihdad repositioning involves considerations of gender equality, justice, and human dignity. From a historical perspective, career women’s ihdad repositioning reflects significant social changes in the role and position of women in the workplace. Historically, women were often restricted to domestic roles and deemed unsuitable for careers outside the home. From a juridical perspective, career women’s ihdad repositioning involves a legal analysis related to the protection and rights of women in the workplace. From a sociological perspective, career women’s ihdad repositioning involves an analysis of social structures and social interactions that affect women’s position in the world of work.
Formulary lists of Meshcheryaks of the Bashkir-Meshcheryak army of 1843–1844 as a source on the military history of the Tatars
Authors: Masagutov Ruslan Fanisovich
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of the formulary lists of the Tatar-Mishars who were part of the Bashkir-Meshcheryak army. Despite the lack of due attention to this type of sources in the scientific literature, information from them is of great interest in the context of the military history of the Tatars during the period of imperial Russia. Among the layer of specific documents, special mention should be made of the formulary lists about the service and dignity of military ranks, since they make it possible to form a social portrait and restore the service and combat path of the Tatar military man. At the same time, the source clearly shows the social differentiation of the Meshcheryaks. Thus, it was difficult for the sons of ordinary Cossacks and constables to move up the career ladder. Having studied the materials of the formulary lists, the author concludes that the service of the Meshcheryaks was predominantly linear in the period under review. A small part of the military personnel was involved in suppressing riots of the local population, and diplomatic and foreign service was sporadic.

Digital transformation challenges in higher education institutions post COVID-19
Authors: Ndaba Nobuhle Elizabeth , Naidoo Gedala Mulliah
Published: August 2024

Higher education institutions (HEIs) encountered an unanticipated and unprepared digital transformation because of COVID-19, which obliged most services, including teaching, learning, and working, to shift from physical to digital and virtual platforms. Digital transformation among employees provided an opportunity for technological upgrades and challenged technological competence and adaptability among employees to enable transitions between physical and virtual platforms. As a result, this paper through the technology acceptance model (TAM) reflects on factors that influence successful transformation of technological adoption among support staff members in a university of technology (UOT). This paper argues that the use of TAM to predict staff members’ attitudes toward adopting new technology can assist HEIs in decision-making regarding technology selection. Using descriptive research design and non-probability sampling method, data was collected from 177 support staff members from different departments. The findings of the study, which emanated from surveys, established that employees’ digital skills need improvement; lack of digital infrastructure funding; poor planning and unclear forms of communication proved to be a recipe for failure to implement a successful digital shift and in creating acceptance digital user behaviour among the employees.
Who’s Behind the Curtain? Investors’ Reactions to Group Audit Disclosures in the Form AP
Authors: Keyser John D. , Smith Jason L.
Published: August 2024

SYNOPSIS

Transparency concerns related to global group audits led the PCAOB to introduce the Form AP, requiring the lead audit firm to disclose the participation and relative contribution of component audit firms in a group audit. As prior research suggests that investors fail to seek out Form AP information, this study leverages experimental design to explore investors’ reactions to group audit information directly provided to them, examining their likelihood to invest based on the percentage of audit work completed by a component audit firm and the lead audit firm’s decision to assume or divide responsibility. Results indicate that investors are less likely to invest when a larger portion of the audit is conducted by a component audit firm, regardless of whether the lead audit firm assumes or divides responsibility for the component firm’s work. These findings have significant implications for auditors, regulators, and investors concerning group audit transparency and disclosure practices.
Customer Information Technology Capability and Suppliers’ Commitments
Authors: Frost Tracie S. , He Zhijian , HuangFu JiangBo , Lim Jee-Hae
Published: August 2024

This study investigates whether and how customer firms’ information technology capability (ITC) influences their suppliers to make supplier commitments (SCs). Motivated by resource dependence theory, we propose that customers’ ITC increases SCs because ITC improves information sharing between customers and suppliers. Using a sample of supplier-customer pairs, we find that customers with ITC attract a higher level of SCs in the subsequent year than customers with no ITC. Such sustainable effects are stronger for customers with systematic ITC than for customers with occasional ITC. We document that suppliers are more likely to make SCs in competitive and munificent industries where customer ITC matters more to increase information sharing. This study demonstrates both academic and practical implications of superior customer ITC that encourages suppliers to undertake collaborative investments.

We examine the relation between CEO risk taking equity incentives, as captured by CEO vega, and workplace misconduct. Workplace misconduct includes health and safety violations, non-compliance with labor laws, and other violations broadly related to labor exploitation, and it results in significant economic costs. Using regression analysis, matched sample tests, and a quasi-natural experiment, we find a positive relation between CEO vega and workplace misconduct. We identify a reduction in discretionary expenses and increased employee workload as channels through which CEO vega affects workplace misconduct.

Elektronik destek sistemleri için frekans kestirim yöntemlerinin performans analizi
Authors: Cabadağ Gamze , Karal Ömer
Published: August 2024

Elektronik harp sistemlerinde, tehdit radarının frekansının doğru olarak kestirimi radarın kimliklendirilmesi ve elektronik atak uygulanabilmesi için oldukça önemlidir. Hızlı Fourier dönüşümü (FFT) ve Sayısal anlık frekans kestirimi (DIFM) en yaygın kullanılan frekans kestirim yöntemleridir. Tehdit radarının ara frekans (IF) değeri FFT bin’lerinin tam katı değilse FFT yöntemi ile frekans kestirimi istenilen doğrulukta elde edilemez. Doğruluğu artırmak için genellikle FFT’nin çıkışına interpolasyon teknikleri uygulanır. DIFM yönteminde ise, sayısallaştırılmış I/Q sinyali belirli bir süre geciktirilip eşleniği alınır ve eşlenik ile orijinal I/Q sinyali çarpılarak faz hesaplanır. Bu çalışmada, Jacobsen ve iyileştirilmiş Quinn interpolasyon teknikleri uygulanmış FFT yöntemi ile uygun gecikme süresi hesaplanmış DIFM yönteminin frekans kestirim performansları, işaret gürültü oranı (SNR) değiştirilerek Gauss gürültüsü altında kapsamlı bir şekilde analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, gerçek zamanlı sistemler için frekans kestiriminin hızlı olması oldukça önemli olduğu için FFT, FFT ve Jacobsen, FFT ve iyileştirilmiş Quinn ve DIFM frekans kestirim yöntemleri hesaplama zamanı açısından da karşılaştırılmıştır. Her bir yöntem için 100 adet Monte Carlo denemesi uygulanmış ve frekans kestirimindeki hata, ortalama hata kare kökü (RMSE) cinsinden sunulmuştur. Matlab ortamında gerçekleştirilen simülasyonların sonuçlarına göre FFT ve iyileştirilmiş Quinn yönteminin FFT ve Jacobsen yöntemine göre genellikle daha iyi frekans kestirimi yaptığı gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca, SNR seviyesi arttıkça, FFT, FFT ve iyileştirilmiş Quinn ve FFT ve Jacobsen yöntemlerine göre DIFM yönteminin daha iyi performansa (düşük RMSE değerine) sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
Energy Absorption Analysis of Circular Cross-Section Crashworthiness with Dual Gradient Under Axial and Oblique Loads
Authors: Erdoğuş Hakan Burçin
Published: August 2024

The tube structures designed in the multicell pattern are used for crashworthiness in many areas. In this study, the crashworthiness was designed by dividing the inner area of the circular section geometry into equal slices by examining previous studies. In addition, this structure was prepared as a dual gradient in two different sizes along the length. Performance parameters were investigated by performing theoretical and numerical analyses. For multicell crashworthiness, which is considered a dual gradient, the folding style was insufficient in lobe formation. However, the specific energy absorption (SEA) and the crushing force efficiency (CFE) values of the two types of dual gradient structures behaved appropriately in absorbing kinetic energy. The dual gradient new design of crashworthiness provides resistance by preventing the bending of the structure under oblique loading. According to the results of the analysis, the mean SEA and CFE under loading at all angles for the 2nd order dual gradient configuration was 12.88% and 1.61% higher than the 1st order design. However, with the preparation of circular section tubular structures using 8-panel elements, close values were obtained in the comparison of theoretical and numerical analysis under axial loading conditions.

Systematic literature review on financial performance as one of the main drivers towards sustainable investment
Authors: Ferreira-Schenk Sune , Dasoo Mikaeel
Published: August 2024

As the global financial landscape is changing and sustainable investments are increasing in importance, it is important to delve into the finer details of sustainable investments. This systematic review is based on empirical and theoretical studies from the Scopus database, aimed to address the following research question: What are the key themes, financial implications, and drivers of sustainable investment. A total of 697 publications were reviewed between 2018 and 2023, there was an increase in sustainable investment studies over this period, indicating the growing relevance of sustainable investments. Most of these publications focused on the relationship between sustainable investments and financial performance, sidelining publications based on the driving forces and motivations behind sustainable investments. Key findings highlighted that firms that adopt sustainable practices improve their ethical standing, but also gain financially. The systematic review also highlights that there is a positive relationship between ESG and financial performance and that in the cases where a negative relationship was found, it was due to not enough institutional support for ESG initiatives. There is also an influence of internal factors and external pressures that act as a catalyst toward sustainable investments. However, as most publications focused on financial implications, as opposed to the drivers and motivations behind sustainable investments, there appears to be a gap in the literature. As sustainable investments continue to gain popularity among investors, a holistic research approach needs to be taken, which includes financial implications and investment motivations; this is crucial to help investors make informed decisions.
On Quantum Operators as Statistical Random Variables Defined on a Spinning Roulette
Authors: Light Gregory L.
Published: August 2024

A quantum operator is a classical physical variable except that it assumes values in a probability distribution, i.e., a random variable, solved by the Schrödinger equation in the form of a wavefunction. To date, the logical foundation of this construct remains an open question. This paper casts the basic components of quantum mechanics in the framework of general statistics. Our starting point is to define the domain of the wavefunction to be the complex unit circle, thus faithfully observing the periodicity of a wave. We seek to crystallize the meanings of the fundamental elements of quantum mechanics, which often are lost in its formalism, by certain common random variables in ordinary applications, such as random walks, inventory cycles, and human healthy temperatures, all defined on the sample space of a unit circle.

A Educação em Saúde configura-se como o entrelace entre os saberes da Saúde e da Educação, buscando subsidiar o indivíduo para gerir sua própria saúde, com a escola configurando-se como o lócus principal para a sua tematização. Nesse sentido, o trato da Educação em Saúde e as suas repercussões devem buscar um entendimento amplo do conceito de saúde em seus determinantes sociais. Dessa forma, o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi analisar as percepções e ações de Educação em Saúde presentes em escolas da rede pública estadual de Ensino Médio do estado de Pernambuco. Foram entrevistados 41 sujeitos entre gestores, professores e estudantes de escolas de 14 cidades do estado. Utilizando a similitude lexical e a categorização hierárquica descendente para o tratamento, os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados mostraram que as percepções do grupo põem a Educação em Saúde como um conjunto de saberes biológicos e que as ações realizadas se deram nesse escopo, partindo de iniciativas dos professores. Assim, é necessário rediscutir a perspectiva da tematização da Educação em Saúde nas escolas, além da própria concepção dos atores escolares sobre o conceito de saúde e suas aplicações na vida das pessoas.
Interpersonal Professional Conflict: Philosophical Analysis
Authors:   Bashkir State Pedagogical University named after M. Akmulla, Abdrakhmanova Florida R.
Published: August 2024

The relevance of the study is due to social relations in the working environment, which play an important role in the development of organizational processes and the fulfillment of professional tasks. The aim of the study is to examine how variations in social relationship systems affect work processes and how the philosophy of interpersonal conflict helps to understand them. The research methods include a phenomenological approach that analyzes variations in positive relationship systems by considering their duration, quality, and participants’ perceptions. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that systems of social relationships can lead to both positive and negative consequences, varying depending on the dialogical worldview of the participants and their willingness to understand each other. The novelty of the concept lies in the fact that the social nature of interpersonal conflicts is considered through the prism of the philosophical ideas of alienation proposed by K. Marx, which are revealed in the context of the modern professional environment. The theoretical and practical significance of the presented results lies in the proposed practical recommendations for improving employee well-being and the effectiveness of organizations that provide tools for interpersonal conflict resolution based on phenomenal-dialogical principles. This additionally contributes to the development of interpersonal communication skills, taking into account the individual needs of employees.
The Foundations of Semantic Genesis in the Cultural Space: Origins, Mechanism, Determinants
Authors:   Tyumen Industrial University, Mikhailov Ivan S.
Published: August 2024

This article investigates the philosophical category of “sense” and its influence on the cultural space. It provides an overview of the evolution of the concept of “sense” in the history of philosophy and categorizes philosophical theories of meaning into three paradigms: word-centric, propositional, and activity-based. In text revealed the opposite tendencies of understanding sense in the analytical and continental traditions. It is typical for continental philosophy to blur the boundaries of the semantic field from individual to individual, which leads to a radical subjectivation of sense and, in the most radical theories, a rejection of objective understanding. Analytical philosophy, on the contrary, seeks to unify the semantic space by putting the subjective factor outside the brackets of theory. Recent studies in the activity-based paradigm show a tendency to overcome these extremes, understanding sense as a synthesis of individual reasoning and collective rationality. Such a definition of sense allows to deduce it from the purely epistemological space and to trace the influence of sense on the formation of the cultural space.
Reproduction of Labor Force in Railway Transport of the Urals, 1891–1917
Authors:   Ural State University of Railway Transport, Konov Alexey A.
Published: August 2024

This article analyzes the primary sources of labor force replenishment in the railway transport of the Urals during its intensive modernization period. It is argued that significant importance was attributed to sources such as railway workers migrating to the Urals from European governorates of the country, as well as the training of labor personnel in railway schools, academies, and artisan workshops. Despite higher wages compared to local industrial workers and the provision of free government housing, railway workers in the Urals had a low standard of living, which allowed them to satisfy only the minimal worker needs. The causes of this low living standard among railway workers included an underdeveloped socio-cultural infrastructure within the region’s railways, indifferent attitudes from railway administration towards workers’ social needs, and increased military mobilization demands on the country’s transport system. Nevertheless, railway workers in the Urals exhibited a high degree of income differentiation: locomotive engineers, bridge builders, and electricians were among the most affluent, whereas switchmen, track maintenance workers, and crossing guards tended to be less well-off. As a result of World War I and the Revolution, the transport sector lost many of its highly skilled laborers.
A Historical Overview of Japan’s Olympic Diplomacy
Authors:   Kuban State University, Izmaylova Anastasiya N.
Published: August 2024

The Olympic movement is a part of sports diplomacy and modern international relations. Initially held for Europe and America, sports games of this level eventually turned into a global treasure. The beginning of Olympism in Asia was laid by Japan, which has now become a country that has organized four Olympic Games. The Tokyo Olympics, originally scheduled for 1940, were cancelled due to World War II. However, the Games returned to Tokyo in 1964. This event marked a pivotal moment in Japan’s history, as the country used the occasion to initiate a new peaceful policy in the region. This approach was in alignment with Japan’s renewed identity as a rapidly developing economy, seeking to reestablish itself in the international arena as a peaceful and progressive nation. The Winter Olympics held in Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998 did not attract significant international attention compared to other Olympic Games. Nonetheless, these events contributed to enhancing Japan’s image as a capable host of major international sporting events. They also facilitated the development of infrastructure and sports facilities within the region. The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo were crucial for Japan in terms of reasserting its position in the Asia-Pacific region amidst the rising influence of China and Korea. However, the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the full realization of the potential of these Games. Despite these challenges, Japan’s ability to host the Olympics under such unprecedented conditions demonstrated its capacity to manage crises and maintain international cooperation. In conclusion, Japan’s potential in sports diplomacy remains far from exhausted. The country continues to use the Olympics as a platform to showcase its cultural and economic strength, as well as to strengthen international ties. Japan has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to leverage the Olympics to advance its national interests and enhance its international image.
