Unravelling the tectonic phases: The impact of the South Caspian Block on Late Cenozoic deformation in the Central Alborz, Iran
Authors: Safari Faezeh , Yassaghi Ali
Published: February 2024

Paleostress reconstruction through polyphase fault-slip data of a multi-deformed region suffered collisional tectonics can lead to detecting the stress phases. Based on earthquakes’ focal mechanisms and morphotectonic features, multiple deformation phases model has been proposed for the Alborz Mountains located in the collision zone between the Arabian (Central Iran) and Eurasian (South Caspian block) plates during the Late Cenozoic. In this study, paleostress analysis has been carried out in an area bounded by two (Kandovan and Taleghan) regional faults in the Central Alborz Mountains using fault-slip data. This analysis resulted in the identification of three main tectonic phases. The first, compressional phase is proposed to cause the inversion of the Alborz Mountains’ major initial normal faults to reverse faults during the convergence of the Arabian and Eurasian plates. The second, transpressional phase is offered as a factor for the reactivation of the hidden Alborz basement faults to form the NE-striking left-lateral strike-slip faults on the sedimentary cover. The third, transtensional phase is suggested to be responsible for the development of the NNE–SSW left-lateral transtensional faults. It is proposed that the second and third paleostress phases are affected mainly by the indentation of the South Caspian Block into the Alborz Mountains during the Late Cenozoic.

Published: February 2024

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact that managerial and institutional ownership have on provisions for loan losses. For the period 2018-2022, the data utilized in this study comprises all banking companies that are publicly traded on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Even though the banking industry has stricter regulations compared to other industries, earnings management is an action that is often carried out by company managers aimed at the manager's personal interests and the interests of the company.The research data underwent analysis using Eviews. The findings of the study indicated that managerial ownership did not have a statistically significant impact on loan loss provisions, while institutional ownership did have a significant negative effect. Institutional investors have been demonstrated to be effective monitoring proxies in the implementation of company policies; therefore, the findings of this study may serve as a benchmark when contemplating banking company policymaking, specifically in the investor selection process.Keyword : Asia, Bank, Institutional Ownership, Managerial Ownership, Loan Loss Provisions.

Authors: Oktavian Ade , Giyanto Bambang , Saksono Afsdy
Published: February 2024

This research evaluates the job analysis practices at the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora). Findings reveal that the current job analysis is not optimal due to incomplete exploration of the Ministry's mandated tasks, leading to unclear mapping of responsibilities and a lack of adherence to the PermenpanRB No. 1 of 2020 guidelines. Data collection, primarily executed by an internal team using templated methods, raises concerns about information validity and reliability. Three main agents provide job analysis information: the jobholder, their superior, and the job analyst. A challenge identified is the limited comprehension of organizational strategy and job functions among jobholders and superiors, combined with the inadequate competency of job analysts. Additionally, the research found that the data's validity and reliability are compromised due to insufficient verification processes. As a remedy, a four-stage job analysis model is proposed, encompassing preparation, data collection, data processing, and result distribution, aiming for more accurate and comprehensive job analyses. Keywords: Job Analysis, Model, the Ministry of Youth and Sports.

Published: February 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the consumption frequency of the selected examples of goitrogenic foods in four different groups of people in Poland, who used traditional, vegetarian, vegan and pescovegetarian diets. The validated consumption frequency questionnaire of the examples of goitrogenic foods in four groups of people (n=365) on afore-mentioned diets, was performed in Poland in 2022. The statistical correspondence analysis model (CAM) was used to quantify and reveal potential relations between dietary habits and thyroid dysfunction, family history of thyroid disease, use of thyroid drugs (L-thyroxine, propylthiouracil, thiamazole), or iodine dietary supplements/drugs. Statistical analyses revealed an increased odds ratio more than 3, 8, and 6 times higher for tofu; plant-based meat; and soy beverages, respectively, by vegetarian’s vs traditional diet. Respondents with diagnosed hypothyroidism consumed soy, flax products, but avoided iodine-rich products. All respondents on traditional diet used iodine-rich products while 22% vegetarian and 23% vegan excluded them. CAM analysis did not show any relation between brassica vegetables and thyroid dysfunction. Despite the results obtained using food questionnaire were not combined with biochemicals data, some tendencies in food behavior among Polish vegans, vegetarians, and pescovegetarians appeared. Apart from some interesting correlations and tendencies, revealed in our study, further in-depth research, combined with biochemical analysis, will allow to better understand, and explain these observations. Still, the effort should be made in the future in equalizing the proportions of female and male participants of such studies, what should bring some additional data on the gender influence.
Preparation and characterization of a solid dispersion formulation of coenzyme Q10 loaded with protamine: an efficient and novel strategy to enhance bioavailability and stability
Authors: Liao Yingying , Sun Li , Xu Wenhao , Qiao pei , Fan Duncong
Published: February 2024

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenous, lipophilic quinone compound that functions as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and plays a pivotal role in cell metabolism. Despite its numerous important physiological functions, the practical application of CoQ10 is limited due to its high molecular weight, poor water solubility, photolability, chemical instability, and low bioavailability. To overcome these challenges, we developed a solid dispersion formulation of protamine loaded CoQ10 (CoQ10/Pr) using an efficient mechanochemical technology without solvents. Protamine was used as carrier and poloxamer 188 as solubilizer, while butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and micro powder silica gel were utilized as stabilizers and lubricants. The optimal ball milling condition to prepare CoQ10/Pr was at 100 r/min for 4 hours. The treated CoQ10/Pr has exhibited rapid-release properties, with significantly enhanced water solubility by 392,000 times, and bioavailability by 0.68 times. Furthermore, the treated CoQ10/Pr became resistant to moisture, high temperature and strong light, which makes it suitable for long-term storage. The molecular docking suggested that the solubilization mechanism of CoQ10 was closely associated with the encapsulation and complexation of protamine, as well as the formation of an intermolecular complex through hydrogen bond between CoQ10 and arginine residues on protamine. In summary, the CoQ10 solid dispersion formulation enjoys advantages such as excellent water solubility, stability, bioavailability, and low cost. This formulation also meets the stringent quality requirements of products in the food, cosmetic, and health industries. It offers dual benefits in both theoretical research and industrial development.

Abstract. The purpose is to study the efficiency of beef production from specialized meat breeds of cattle of French origin in comparison with the Hereford breed. Methods. Zootechnical, statistical and economic methods were used. Results. As a result of the conducted scientific and economic experience, the indicators of weight growth and meat productivity of cattle of the Charolais, Salers, Aubrac, Limousin breeds were studied in comparison with the Hereford cattle breed. Scientific novelty consists in the fact that for the first time in the conditions of Western Siberia, a comparative study of the indicators of weight growth from birth to 18 months of age and meat productivity of French beef cattle breeds with the Hereford breed was carried out. The conducted research has established the advantage in live weight and growth intensity of French beef cattle breeds. The largest live weight at 18 months was in Charolais bulls – 569.4 kg, which is more than in group I bulls by 53 kg (10.2 %) (p ≤ 0.001). In second place in terms of live weight were the bulls of the Obrak breed – 552.4 kg, which is significantly more than the peers of group I by 35.7 kg (10.3 %) (p ≤ 0.001. With intensive cultivation, the highest growth energy was demonstrated by bulls of French meat breeds 903.8–966.1. When slaughtered at the age of 15 and 18 months, heavy animal carcasses were obtained. Carcasses of French bull calves at slaughter at 15 months had a larger mass by 10.6–23.5 kg. By 18 months, the mass of paired carcasses increased to 286.6–318.5 kg. Economic analysis of the research results shows that in the production of beef from Charolais cattle, the profitability level is 66.5 %, Hereford breed – 60.6 %, Salers and Aubrac – 62.3, Limousin – 56.4 %.
Principle of signal-to-noise ratio direct measurement
Authors: Zenkovich A. V.
Published: February 2024

The sensitivity of radio receivers and other systems used in all fields of practical applications of electronics is carried out at certain signal-to-noise ratio value. Examples of systems, for which this ratio is one of the important qualitative indicators, are given. The aim of the investigation is to solve the actual problem of signal-to-noise ratio measurement in a wide range of frequencies, simplify instruments and improve their technical and metrological parameters. A principle of signal-to-noise ratio measurement has been proposed, its theoretical foundation has been given. Precise relationship between the signal-to-noise ratio and the parameters of noise amplitude, phase and frequency modulation has been established, thus modulation meters can measure signal-to-noise ratio. There are three options for implementing the developed measurement principle. All of them use one existing industrial modulation meter and provide direct signal-to-noise ratio. For two options there are no restrictions on the origin and type of noise, it may be arbitrary. A pilot test of the measurement principle was conducted, and three implementation options were actually tested. Their discrepancies with the original data of the signal and noise generator lie within error limits of the instrumentation of the former. Mathematical modeling of the principle of signal-to-noise ratio measurement in Mathcad software package was also carried out. Recommendations on the use of the principle are given. The fundamental advantages of the developed principle consist of simple implementation by a single industrial instrument and solving the problem of metrological ensuring of signal-to-noise measuring instruments using the existing state verification plans. The main technical and metrological characteristics obtained by using the principle are determined by parameters of existing modulation meters and are proven to be high, the frequency range is till 26,5 GHz and the measurement error is as low as 8 %.

Published: February 2024

The problems of identifying counterfeit motor fuels in real conditions are highlighted. It is noted that the use of express analyzers of motor fuels does not provide the necessary level of control over the accuracy and reliability of measurement results of the parameters of the fuel under study. The problems of metrological support of express analyzers of motor fuels based on near-infrared spectroscopy are considered. The method is based on the rejection of classical spectroscopic approaches in favor of complex multidimensional mathematical models, and the result of the analysis is a forecast; the usual metrological approaches do not work here, since quantitative analysis is replaced by some kind of qualitative analysis. The category of uncertainty is replaced by the category of reliability, which is much less developed. In this situation the usual accuracy control procedures are insufficient. For express analyzers based on the principles of dielmetry and near-infrared spectroscopy, the identification of counterfeit fuel turned out to be approximately the same: the addition of 8–10 % vol. of the counterfeit component practically does not change the measurement results. When the operations with a mathematical model is not allowed (it is the intellectual property of developers) some simple approaches to the assessment of metrological characteristics is proposed. This approach allows the metrologist or the user to verify the relevance of the program model for specific grades of motor fuel. A study of domestic express analyzers based on the principles of measuring the dielectric permittivity of fuels has been carried out. The ability of express analyzers of both types to identify counterfeit fuel is evaluated.
Comparisons and extensions of reduced form and structural approaches to retirement decision of Missouri public school teachers
Authors:   , Wu Chao
Published: February 2024

There have been growing calls to reform teachers' pension systems. Designing of pension reforms requires modeling retirement decisions first. My thesis compares different models of teachers' retirement decisions. To further predict behavioral responses to changes in pension rules, I estimate a structural model of retirement decisions (the option value model by Stock and Wise (1990) by maximizing likelihood (ML). In chapter three, I focus on a number of technical issues in ML estimation. I show that the commonly used frequency simulator for likelihood evaluation is computationally costly when the data set has a large number of teachers and long panels. In addition, the maximum obtained by a hill-climbing algorithm may not be global when the objective function is ill-shaped. Therefore, I propose to evaluate the option value model's likelihood by using the GHK simulator, in place of the frequency simulator, and obtain robust estimates via simulated annealing instead of the hill-climbing algorithm. The results suggest that the GHK simulator is much more efficient than the frequency simulator and that the aggregate behavior that is predicted on the basis of the estimates of the GHK simulator is reasonably robust. The last chapter compares the t of the probit model with the option value model and discusses the pros and cons of the two competing models for teachers' retirement decisions.
Experimental and analytical investigation of localization and post-peak behavior of steel members in tension
Authors:   , Altai Saif
Published: February 2024

Accurate simulation of extreme limit states in structures subjected to abnormal loads, earthquake, or blast requires detailed understanding of their post-peak behavior. In steel structures, these extreme-limit states are associated with local or global instability such as local buckling, tension necking, and fracture. Several methods have been developed to simulate such extreme limit states such as fiber models, hinge models, nonlocal models, and finite element analysis (FEA). However, disadvantages of these methods arise when the structural elements pass the peak response and experience post-peak softening. Furthermore, there is a lack of experimental data to validate the numerical solutions, especially for the nonlocal models. This research first looks at experimentally determining the localization length and its evolution throughout the loading history to study the effect of the length scale on the post-peak response of steel members. Second, linear, bilinear, and nonlinear post-peak localization models are developed and compared to experimental data. Third, a system of three steel members was investigated to evaluate how post-peak behavior in part of the system affects the remaining members. The response of a system of steel tension members was investigated analytically and experimentally to evaluate the effect of post-peak response on load redistribution and overall movements of the system. The analytical results showed that the members with even a slight imperfection (i.e. 0.001 percent) can cause lateral displacement or rotation when one member fails before the others. The experimental results showed that the system in which only one member softening did so at a load 10 percent higher and at displacement 21 percent less than the system with two softening members. Both of these results indicate that even slight variations can cause significant effects in the failure response of a structural system. The numerical localization model was applied to the system analysis and showed the difference in displacement at the failure load between the numerical simulations and the experiments was 4 percent.

Published: February 2024

Studi kuantitatif ini mengkaji 6 prediktor yang diduga mempengaruhi profitabilitas bank tercatat di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan seluruh populasi bank yang terdaftar di Indonesia pada tahun 2013 – 2022. Instrumen analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah regresi kuantil data panel dengan menggunakan R. Profitabilitas bank diukur dengan return on assets, sedangkan likuiditas, kualitas aset, manajemen aset, leverage, efisiensi dan kecukupan modal yang digunakan sebagai faktor bank spesifik. Novelty penelitian ini adalah bahwa ini adalah penelitian pertama tentang determinan profitabilitas bagi bank yang terdaftar di Indonesia menggunakan regresi kuantil. Hasil regresi kuantil memberikan insight yang lebih mendalam dibandingkan dengan regresi linear OLS maupun regresi panel fixed effect karena dapat menggambarkan pengaruh dan arah yang distinctive pada tiap kuantil profitabilitas. Untuk praktisi dan regulator dapat memahami terdapat perbedaan atas besarnya pengaruh dari factor bank spesifik kepada profitabilitas. Analisa regresi kuantil terhadap profitabilitas baru dilakukan sebatas pada Return on Assets, belum dilakukan pada Net Interest Margin dan Return on Equity. Saran untuk penelitian selanjutnya, agar dapat menambahkan lagged effect (t-1) untuk kualitas aset terhadap profitabilitas dan juga menambahkan robustness check.
Vibration Suppression Study of Parallel Combined Damping Nonlinear Energy Sink on Piecewise Linear Systems
Authors: Qi Xingke , Zhang Jianchao , Wang Jun
Published: February 2024

The Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES) is a passive control device capable of achieving targeted energy transfer and effectively suppressing system vibrations. This paper conducts dynamic modeling and vibration suppression analysis of parallel combined damping nonlinear energy sinks in piecewise linear systems. Initially, the system's amplitude-frequency response curve is obtained using the harmonic balance method, validated by the Runge-Kutta method for accuracy. Subsequently, an analysis is performed on the vibration reduction capabilities of the parallel combined damping nonlinear energy sink and the influence of parameters on its vibration suppression effectiveness. Finally, the study investigates changes in the main system's maximum response amplitude with varying damping under different stiffness conditions and determines optimal parameter values based on trend analysis. Research findings indicate that the vibration reduction performance of the parallel combined damping nonlinear energy sink surpasses that of a single connected damping nonlinear energy sink. Furthermore, after parameter optimization, the main system achieves superior vibration reduction effects.

Published: February 2024

Background: The importance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening in high-risk women is well-known; however, its utility in women at average or intermediate risk is not well-established. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the added value and cancer detection rate (CDR) of using abbreviated MRI protocols in average or intermediate-risk women.
Methods: A total of 431 asymptomatic women with average or intermediate risk of breast cancer who underwent screening abbreviated MRI from May 2019 to May 2022 were recruited. CDR in screening MRI among average or intermediate-risk women and in low or high-breast composition was calculated. 
Results: In 173 patients with intermediate risk, 5(1.16%) malignant lesions were detected and in 258 average-risk patients, 10(2.32%) added cancers were found in screening abbreviated MRI compared to mammography. Among the 15 malignant lesions, more cancers in high breast composition were detected (11 vs. 4 cases); however, there was no statistically significant difference between the cancer detection rate and breast composition. In intermediate-risk women with high breast composition, 3 (0.69%) malignant lesions, and in average-risk women with high breast composition, 8 (1.85%) added cancers were found.
Conclusion: We provided 3.48% added cancer detection in screening abbreviated MRI compared to mammography. Therefore, screening abbreviated MRI with less image acquisition and interpretation time may be useful as a supplemental screening tool for cancer detection especially in high breast composition.

1. Counter-wildlife crime interventions ̶ those that directly protect target wildlife from illegal harvest/persecution, detect and sanction rule-breakers, and interdict and control illegal wildlife commodities ̶ are widely applied to address biodiversity loss. This systematic map provides an overview of the literature on the effectiveness of counter-wildlife crime interventions for conserving African, Asian, and Latin American wildlife directly threatened by exploitation, including human-wildlife conflicts that trigger poaching.2. Following our systematic map protocol (Rytwinski et al., 2021a), we compiled peer-reviewed and grey literature and screened articles using predefined inclusion criteria. Included studies were coded for key variables of interest, from which we produced a searchable database, interactive map, and structured heatmaps. 3. A total of 530 studies from 477 articles were included in the systematic map. Most studies were from Africa and Asia (81% of studies) and focused on African and Asian elephants (16%), felids (14%), and turtles and tortoises (11%). Most evaluations of counter-wildlife crime interventions targeted wildlife products (rather than species) and the transfer of those products along the wildlife-crime continuum (40% of cases). Population/species outcomes were most commonly measured via indicators of threat reduction (65% of cases) and intermediate outcomes (25%). 4. We identified knowledge clusters where studies investigated the links between (1) patrols and other preventative actions to increase detection and population abundance, and (2) information analysis and sharing and wildlife crime/trade levels. However, the effectiveness of most interventions was not rigorously evaluated. Most investigations used post-implementation monitoring only (e.g. lacking a comparator), and no experimental designs were found. We identified several key knowledge gaps including a paucity of studies by geography (Latin America), taxonomy (plants, birds, and reptiles), interventions (non-patrol-based counter-wildlife crime interventions), and outcomes (biological, and the combination of biological and human well-being outcomes). 5. Our map reveals an opportunity to improve the rigor and documentation of counter-wildlife crime intervention evaluations, which would enable the evidence-based selection of effective approaches to improve wildlife conservation and national security.

Published: February 2024

The rate of ICT growth in the Nigerian Navy Forces is still appallingly low. Given the aforementioned factor, assessing the Nigerian Navy Force's ICT maturity level is critical as this could offer helpful insight into how to successfully integrate ICT into the Nigerian Navy Force. This research work adopted the Small-size and Medium-size Enterprises ICT Maturity model in examining and measuring the optimal utilization of technology in Nigeria Navy Force. A questionnaire designed after ICT Maturity Model of SMEs containing forty-five research questions guided this project work. The questionnaires were afterward sorted and coded according to the responses from the 30 Senior Commissioned Officers, 30 Junior Commissioned Officer and 30 Non-Commissioned Officers that participated in this research survey using the indicator stage value in the coding process.  The required ICT Maturity Indexes were extracted from the respective commands and were subsequently calculated using the Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. Nigerian Navy Commands and unit were carefully selected and their ICT calculated to be significantly substantial with ICT maturity level at 0.58. This result analysis shows that ICT’s innovations and capacities are yet to be effectually and efficiently exploited within the Nigerian Navy Force.  The research offers helpful insight into how to successfully integrate and measure the utilization of ICT potentials in the Nigerian Navy Force for its training and operations. The knowledge acquired would also be very beneficial for planning, budgeting, and setting funding priorities that will be specifically focused on the requirements area.

The need to know the level of contamination of radioactive elements, especially uranium and thorium, in the common foods we eat particularly the Baobab leave powder is highly significant due to their detrimental health effects. The presence of uranium and thorium in significant concentrations also presents an exposure risk to populations. In this study, six (6) baobab samples were collected from Daura, Funtua, Dustin-Ma, Kankia, Katsina, and Malumfashi in Katsina State. The samples were analysed for uranium and thorium content using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Concentration level of uranium was detected to be (0.068±0.011 mg/kg) in Daura and (0.021 mg/kg) in Dustin-Ma, while in Funtua, Kankiya, Katsina and Malumfashi, the concentrations were below detection limit. Thorium concentration was equally found to be (0.66±0.07 mg/kg) in Malumfashi, (0.54±0.07 mg/kg) in Daura, (0.43±0.06 mg/kg) in Dutsin-Ma, (0.25±0.04 mg/kg) in Kankia and (0.33±0.05 mg/kg) in Funtua. The concentration level of uranium and thorium accumulated in the baobab leave when analysed was found to be far below joint ATSDR/NIH safe limit of Uranium and Thorium intake in the human body. From this present work, we can see that the Baobab leave powder is safe for human consumption even though care should be taken to avoid contaminations
