Published: July 2024

The article discloses innovative technologies in the activities of construction enterprises and increasing the efficiency of their implementation in the conditions of competition and dynamic changes. It has been established that the development and functioning of construction enterprises is under the influence of the innovation mechanism and applied innovations. Accordingly, in order to achieve success and ensure sustainable development, construction enterprises must implement innovative technologies that not only increase the efficiency of production processes, but also contribute to the creation of competitive advantages. It has been proven that the introduction of innovative technologies allows to reduce costs, reduce project execution time, improve the quality of construction works and improve labor safety. At the same time, the success of innovation implementation largely depends on the ability of enterprises to adapt to new conditions, learn new work methods and effectively manage changes. An analysis of the Index of construction products for the period of 2022 was carried out in terms of months and building types. The specified index reflects the change in the volumes of manufactured construction products (completed construction works) for the periods selected for comparison, deflated by the relevant price indices in construction. It was determined that a change in the index of construction products can have significant consequences for the economy and the social sphere, therefore it is important to carefully monitor this indicator and analyze the reasons for its changes in order to take timely measures to stabilize the situation. The results of the change of the Index of construction products are substantiated. The growth of the index of construction products means an increase in the volume of production in the construction industry for a certain period of time in comparison with the previous period. The growth of the Construction Products Index is an important indicator that indicates positive trends in the economy and the construction industry in particular. This creates optimistic prospects for further development and investment in the sector. It has been established that construction enterprises should pay special attention to the analysis of best practices and recommendations for increasing the efficiency of innovative processes, which in the context of constant changes in market conditions and increased competition will contribute to their economic growth.

GENERAL ECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUM MODELS
Authors: Білоусова Т.П.
Published: July 2024

The article examines the possibilities and limitations of empirical models of general economic equilibrium and makes their classification. Computable general equilibrium models are divided into two groups: the first group is based on the equilibrium price model (G. Scarf's approach), the second is based on a multi-sectoral model of economic growth (L. Johansen's approach). Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models are also divided into two groups: the first group is based on the model of the real business cycle (the approach of F. Kydland and E. Prescott), the second is based on the model of various behavior of firms in conditions monopolistic competition (the approach of J. Rotemberg and M. Woodford). Within each group, empirical models were studied according to the following criteria: the scale of the economy, its openness; application for current and future assessments; socio-economic phenomenon under study.
Análise do Controle por Regras em Participantes Classificados de Flexíveis e de Inflexíveis
Authors: Pinto Ana Rachel ,   Universidade Federal do Pará, Paiva Paracampo Carla Cristina ,   Universidade Federal do Pará
Published: July 2024

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar se o comportamento de seguir regras discrepantes das contingências de reforço depende mais da história experimental do ouvinte ou da sua história préexperimental, inferida das respostas do ouvinte a um questionário sobre inflexibilidade. Dezesseis universitários, previamente classificados como flexíveis ou como inflexíveis, foram expostos a um procedimento de escolha segundo o modelo; a tarefa era apontar cada um dos três estímulos de comparação. A Sessão I era de linha de base. As contingências na Sessão 2 eram alteradas na Sessão 3, e as contingências na Sessão 3, eram mantidas inalteradas na Sessão 4, iniciada com a regra discrepante das contingências. Na Sessão 2, o apontar era estabelecido por contingências na Condição I e por regra na Condição 2. Independentemente da condição experimental, 6 dos 8 participantes flexíveis deixaram de seguir a regra discrepante na Sessão 4; e 7 dos 8 participantes inflexíveis mantiveram o seguimento da regra discrepante na Sessão 4. Os resultados sugerem que as diferenças sistemáticas observadas entre os desempenhos dos participantes flexíveis e inflexíveis apóiam a sugestão de que diferenças individuais geradas por diferentes histórias pré-experimentais são variáveis que podem estar relacionadas à manutenção, ou não, do seguimento de regras discrepantes das contingências.
Une interprétation du Problème de la Spécification en termes de Contingences de Renforcement
Authors: Lefebvre Olivier ,   Université Charles de Gaulle, Miossec Yanick , Darcheville Jean-Claude ,   Université Charles de Gaulle,   Université Charles de Gaulle
Published: July 2024

Une revue de la littérature concernant la perception de l'espace permet de mettre en évidence qu'une question récurrente est celle de la «spécification». Cette interrogation renvoie aux modalités de représentation des propriétés de l'environnement (stimulus distaux) par les stimulus proximaux (Heider, 1926). Différentes réponses ont ainsi été apportées sous les noms de théories inférentielles (Knill, 2001; Marr, 1982) et écologiques (Gibson, 1966), tout en partageant une même interprétation informationnelle de cette problématique. Ces débats étant toujours d'actualité, une réinterprétation de ce problème de la spécification en termes de contingences de renforcement (Skinner, 1938) est ici proposée. Ainsi, la nécessité de reconsidérer la fonction des activités perceptives est rendue apparente, de même que la similarité fonctionnelle entre ces activités et les autres comportements de l'organisme. La possibilité de déplacer l'attention des problèmes d'optique ou d'acoustique vers d'autres questions expérimentales et théoriques est de plus soulignée. Il est enfin soutenu que cette interprétation fournie avec elle un paradigme offrant un meilleur contrôle expérimental que les approches classiques. Ce paradigme est celui des programmes de renforcement.

PENCAK JAIPONGAN BY CHOREOGRAPHER GUGUM GUMBIRA
Authors: Mulyadi Tubagus
Published: July 2024

Jaipongan has been recognized as a creation dance in West Java. The dance genre derived from Ketuk Tilu and Pencak Silat has made Jaipongan an icon of Sundanese Dance. The purpose of this research is to explore how the development of pencak silat movements in the Jaipongan Dance created by Gugum Gumbira the creator of Jaipongan. Qualitative research methods were applied to collect data through a literature review of references relevant to the topic of study and documentation on videos of several Jaipongan works. The motion characteristics of Jaipongan were analyzed through Keser Bojong, Rendeng Bojong, Kawung Anten, and Pencug Bojong. The creation of Jaipongan was an outgrowth of Gugum Gumbira's experience as a dancer of Ketuk Tilu, Bajidoran, and Pencak Silat. Gugum's understanding and mastery of these three West Javanese folk dance genres led him to choreograph Jaipongan as a phenomenal new creation dance genre in West Java. The footwork technique is the foundation of the dance, to avoid the danger of slipping while dancing with the agile and attractive character of Jaipongan Dance. Therefore, mastery of pencak movement is important to be able to dance Jaipongan aesthetically.
THE ELABORATION OF SACRED AND PROFANE IN FINE ART WORK ENTITLED "WHEN HANDS AND FEET ARE TALKING”
Authors: Zarkasi Much. Sofwan , Suwasono Bening Tri
Published: July 2024

The article "Sacred and Profane Elaboration in a Work of Art Titled When Hands and Feet Speak" by Much. Sofwan Zarkasi and Bening Tri Suwasono explores the intersection of sacred and profane elements in art, a convergence rarely seen in modern works that typically separate art and religion. This meeting of sacred and profane is grounded in Islamic prophetic values derived from Quranic knowledge. The authors argue that since the purpose of human life is to worship, and art is a part of human activity, art should also encompass the concept of worship. Thus, art becomes a blend of sacred and profane activities, presenting visual beauty and values that remind humans to protect the world from harm. The method used in creating "When Hands and Feet Speak" follows the stages of creation by L.H. Chapman: a) finding ideas, b) refining, developing, and solidifying initial ideas, and c) visualizing in the medium. This process is enhanced by adding d) the intention to work for worship at the beginning and including evaluation and gratitude at the end. The technique combines printmaking and collage to produce the final artwork.

Kâbil İlletler Niçin Sonlu Olmalı? Aristotelesçi Açıklamaya Yöneltilen Eleştiriler Karşısında İbn Sînâ’nın Yaklaşımı
Authors: Bilgin Tiryaki Kübra
Published: July 2024

Aristotelesçi felsefenin temelinde yer alan illiyet/nedensellik fail, gâî, maddî ve surî illetler olan dört nedenin tespiti üzerine kuruludur. Dört neden için zorunlu olarak kabul edilmesi gereken ilkelerden birisi illetlerin sonsuza kadar gidemeyeceği ve onların bir İlk İllet’e dayanması gerektiğidir. Maddî illet, sureti kabul etmesi bakımından kâbil illet olarak da isimlendirilir. Bu bağlamda Aristoteles Metafizik/ Alfa Elatton’da iki örnek durum üzerinden kâbil illetlerin sonluluğunu ortaya koyar. İbn Sînâ ise eş-Şifâ/ el-İlâhiyyât’ta illetlerin sonluluğu meselesini ele alırken Aristoteles’in bahsettiği iki durum üzerinden hareket eder ancak bu açıklamayı kendi cevher teorisi çerçevesinde ortaya koyar. Bu bağlamda İbn Sînâ, Aristotelesçi açıklamanın kâbil illetlerin sonluluğunu eksiksiz ve kuşatıcı bir şekilde açıklayamadığına yönelik dört eleştiriyi, eleştiri sahiplerinin kim olduğunu belirtmeksizin, ayrıntılı bir şekilde cevaplar ve Aristotelesçi açıklamanın tutarlı ve yeterli olduğunu tespit eder. İbn Sînâ’ya göre Aristoteles’e yönelik eleştirilerin temel nedeni, kâbil illetlerin sonluluğuna ilişkin açıklamanın, “cevher olması bakımından cevherin ilkeleri (mebâdi)” hakkında olduğunun anlaşılmamasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Eleştirileri birbirine bağlayan temel hususlardan birisi cevherdeki değişime yönelik isti‘dâdın, değişim sonrasındaki unsurla ilişkisinin nasıl kurulacağının belirginleştirilememesidir. Bu makale, İbn Sînâ’nın Aristoteles’in kâbil illetlerin sonluluğuna dair açıklamasına yöneltilen eleştirilerin, bizzat İbn Sînâ tarafından Aristoteles’in anlatısında tespit edilen boşluklar olarak yorumlanabileceği ve filozofun söz konusu eleştirileri kendi cevher ve isti‘dâd teorisini tahkim etmek üzere kurgulayıp cevapladığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.

This study aims to see how far the progress of technology in education, especially within the scope of the Universitas Terbuka (UT) Mataram. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, conditions have required all institutions, especially in education, to build a digital ecosystem. As an educational institution that implements distance learning with various communication technologies, the UT uses Ms.Teams as a distance learning tool. Ms.Teams is a digital learning system that helps students and teaching staff during brave learning. This study uses a correlational descriptive survey method to determine the relationship between variables in a comprehensive and detailed manner. This research was conducted in Study Groups (PokJar) in Bima City, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The population was taken from UT Mataram student registration data obtained based on a pre-research survey for the 2023.1 period, as many as 367 people. The sample will be selected using a simple random method. The problem that was found during the research was that there was still a lack of knowledge about the latest learning technologies, given the large number of students from various technological backgrounds, and we could find a solution to this problem in the form of effective socialization by PokJar and increasing student participation more actively in the process. Distance learning using Ms.Teams with the help of lecturers in utilizing the e-campus email as the first step in its operation.

The specific and special objective of this research is to determine the influence of muzakki's income level, muzakki's education level, and muzakki's religiosity level on their interest to pay zakat through Baznas Kota Semarang. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with hypothesis testing. The population consisted of all individuals who pay zakat (muzakki) in Baznas Kota Semarang. A sample of 100 respondents was selected using random sampling technique. Data was collected through a questionnaire. The research data was analyzed using validity test, reliability test, multiple regression analysis, simultaneous test (F-test), partial test (t-test), R2 test, and classical assumption test. The research findings indicate that income level has a significant influence on interest, education level does not have a significant influence on interest, and religiosity level has a significant influence on the interest variable. Simultaneously, income level, education level, and religiosity have a significant impact on the interest of muzakki in paying zakat at Baznas Kota Semarang. As there haven't been enough studies conducted in Baznas regarding this topic, this research will play an important role as a leading example for other researchers in cities other than Semarang to explore similar institutions involved in zakat collection.
Efficacy of the PEN-FAST score in a French cohort of patients with reported allergy to penicillins

Introduction

Various clinical decision-making tools for penicillin allergy have been developed to guide delabeling strategies.

Objective

To evaluate the penicillin allergy PEN-FAST decision score in a retrospective cohort of patients, adults and children, with penicillin-reported allergy.

Methods

This monocentric retrospective cohort included patients with penicillin-reported allergy. All patients underwent penicillin allergy testing using skin tests and/or drug challenge. The PEN-FAST score sensitivity, specificity, negative (NPV) and positive (PPV) predictive values, and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) were calculated.

Results

Two hundred and fourteen patients were included (64 children and 150 adults). Allergy was confirmed in 52 cases (24%). A PEN-FAST score <3 points showed a poor discrimination capacity for the whole population (AUC = 0.66; 95% CI: 0.58–0.75), while it demonstrated a better discrimination capacity in the adults group (AUC = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.63–0.80). The sensitivity to identify penicillin allergy using this cutoff of less than 3 points was 0.67 (95% CI: 0.52–0.80); specificity, 0.58 (95% CI: 0.48–0.68); PPV, 0.43 (95% CI: 0.32–0.55); and NPV, 0.78 (95% CI: 0.68–0.87).

Conclusions

Although our data confirm a rather good discrimination value of a PEN-FAST score <3 points, its low negative predictive value (78%) did not advocate for its use as an accurate, simple and cost-effective clinical decision-making tool to effectively reduce the number of penicillin skin tests required before direct oral challenge. Further studies are required to improve the predictive capacity of the PEN-FAST score.
Quantifying particulate organic matter: source composition and fluxes at the river-estuary interface

Particulate organic matter (POM) characteristics and variability have been widely studied along the land-ocean aquatic continuum, yet, gaps remain in quantifying its source composition, fluxes, and dynamics at the river-estuary interface. POM in rivers consists of a complex mixture of sources, derived both from locally produced (i.e. phytoplankton) and from adjacent ecosystems (e.g. terrestrial POM). Each source differ in its trophic and biogeochemical characteristics, hence impacting its integration into local food webs, its transfer to estuaries and sea, and its contribution to biogeochemical processes. In this study, we use a robust approach based on in situ POM to characterize river POM end-members, to quantify POM composition and dynamics, and to identify the related key drivers. This study was performed at the River-Estuary interface of one of the main rivers in Western Europe (the Loire River, France). For 3 years, we conducted bimonthly measurements of carbon and nitrogen isotopic (δ13C, δ15N) and elemental (C/N) ratios to quantify the contribution of two sources (phytoplankton and terrestrial POM) to the POM mixture and calculated annual fluxes of particulate organic carbon (POC) and nitrogen (PN) sources. Throughout the year, POM consisted of ~65% phytoplankton and 35% terrestrial POM. The mean annual export fluxes were 40.6 tPOC/year and 2.45 tPN/year over the studied period, with half of it originating from phytoplankton (53 and 55% for POC and PN, respectively). We observed a clear seasonal pattern in POM composition: phytoplankton predominated from March to October, in relation to high primary production, while terrestrial contributions were the highest from November to February, driven by greater autumn-winter hydrodynamics. Our study illustrate the interest of such an approach to quantify POM composition in aquatic system and estimate source fluxes, and provide fundamental results for estimating seasonal baselines in food webs, establishing biogeochemical budgets, and quantifying POM exports to estuarine and marine environments. Applying this methodology across a broad spectrum of aquatic systems should enhance our understanding of biogeochemical processes and organic matter transformation along the land-ocean continuum and illustrates the contribution of these ecosystems to global biogeochemical cycles.

Acne fulminans (AF), a severe acne variant primarily evident in adolescent males, is characterized by the sudden onset of severe and often ulcerating acne with fever and polyarthritis. A case of a 14-year-old initially treated with clindamycin and surgical debridement, highlights the complexity of AF, including challenges in diagnosis, treatment, and the importance of early dermatological consultation. Successful management was achieved through systemic therapy with retinoids and corticosteroids, resulting in significant improvement. This case underscores the necessity of a coordinated effort among dermatologists, endocrinologists, and rheumatologists for effective AF treatment, illustrating the critical role of timely diagnosis and comprehensive care in managing this rare and challenging condition.
