Dari permasalahan tersebut dapat ditarik beberapa pokok permesalahan atau rumusan masalah, yaitu : 1) Apa faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya perkawinan anak di Kec. Poleang Barat, Kab. Bombana, Sulawesi Tenggara ?, dan 2) Bagaimana penyelesaian problematika perkawinan anak dalam tinjauan hukum Islam ? Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian field research kualitatif deskriptif, dengan menggunakan sumber data primer dan sekunder. Metode Pengumpulan datanya dengan metode observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan  bahwa perkawinan anak di daerah Kec. Poleang Barat masih kerap terjadi disebabkan beberapa faktor, yakni: faktor orangtua, faktor kecelakaan atau hamil di luar nikah (marride by accident), faktor pendidikan, faktor ekonomi, dan faktor akses jarak ke kantor KUA. Terkait hukum perkawinan anak dalam hukum Islam, itu dibolehkan sepanjang pelaksanaannya terdapat mashlahat bagi kedua mempelai, namun jika hal itu akan melahirkan dlarar (kerugian) bagi mempelai maka pernikahan menjadi haram; dan dalam kondisi yang demikian, mempelai mempunyai hak untuk fasakh (memutuskan perkawinan). Selanjutnya mengingat pernikahan termasuk dalam kategori fikih ijtima’i, maka pengaturan ulil amri terhadap masalah ini sangat dimungkinkan, bahkan mentaatinya adalah suatu keharusan. Dengan demikian, meskipun secara fikih persoalan penetapan usia pernikahan diperselisihkan, namun jika sudah ditetapkan oleh ulil amri, maka umat Islam mempunyai kewajiban syar’i untuk mengikutinya.

The Effect of Changes in Oil Prices on Economic Development of South Sudan: A Case Study of Juba City Republic of South Sudan
Authors:   PhD Student in Business Administration at the University of Juba, South Sudan., Karlo Ocum Genes , Adea Maxwell ,   Professor of Research Methodology at Ayii University in Juba and visiting Professor of Starford University and Supervisor and Examiner of Doctor of Philosophy Candidates at the University of Juba in South Sudan.
Published: February 2024

The study looks at how fluctuations in oil prices affect South Sudan's economic growth. This entails investigating the variables that affect oil prices as well as the connection between shifting oil prices and economic growth. The impact of oil prices on the economic growth and development of the nation is significant. For instance, the literature study shows that Pakistan's inflation of oil prices had little effect on economic growth over the medium and long terms. However, there were indicators of it raising the general price level in the economy. Eighty-eight (88) questionnaires were distributed to collect data from different respondents who were conveniently selected in Juba City and the response rate was 100%. The empirical evidence indicates that the correlation between oil prices and South Sudan's economic progress has improved. The government of South Sudan should rewrite and simplify the policy framework in order to guarantee increased oil revenue and a better socioeconomic standing for the populace. An impartial committee or entity that can supervise and keep an eye on the actions of individuals engaged in oil revenue management should be established by this policy framework. This tactic has the potential to greatly lower the incidence of corruption and improper handling of oil revenue while also raising socioeconomic conditions in South Sudan.

SFRA Capability for detection of deformation in transformer windings: a field experience of 400kV 167MVA single phase ICT
Authors:   Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation Ltd., Chavda Ashok , Pandya Vivek ,   Pandit Dindayal Petroleum University
Published: February 2024

Sweep Frequency Response Analysis has become very popular now – a - days due to its ability to provide comprehensive information regarding mechanical as well as electrical condition of power transformers. The SFRA is a signature test and provides better information when evaluation of Transformer condition is done by comparing actual set of SFRA results with reference results. This field experience refers to 400/220/33KV ICT bank, formed with three single phase units – each with capacity of 167MVA. Heavy fault current was fed through ICT due to failure of LA provided on external delta formation of Tertiary winding. Mechanical defects / deformation occur ostensibly due to short circuit current flowing through transformer winding in case of terminal faults i.e. fault adjacent to / on the power transformer. To ascertain mechanical integrity of power transformer, SFRA test is carried out and is supported by other tests i.e. capacitance and tan delta measurement etc. The test results reveal that SFRA is capable of providing more information about mechanical deformation of active parts of power transformers - compared to other tests.

Authors:   Satyam College of Engineering, Singh D Bensiker Raja , SujaManimalar R. ,   DMI College of Engineering
Published: February 2024

A unique impedance Source Inverter with an Active Front-End is proposed in this paper, that can be used for controlling AC Drives. There are a number of modulation schemes that may be used with the three-phase impedance source inverters, ultimate reduction in the switching losses makes the discontinuous modulation schemes seem most appropriate. The discontinuous modulation schemes are differentiated into two classes based on the technique used for achieving shoot-through (ST) state: single-phase-leg ST-based and three-phase-leg ST-based (3P) discontinuous modulation schemes. In this paper, we discuss the improvements in Single Phase Maximum Boost Discontinuous Space Vector modulation (1P/MB/DSVM) scheme under similar operating conditions, by simplifying gate signal generation and improving the conversion efficiency. A simulated analysis and comparison of the conventional and the enhanced 1P/MB/DSVM schemes is also discussed using PLECS. Lastly, verification of the simulation outcomes and reported analysis is carried out by making use of a three-phase quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) prototype which demonstrates improvement in conversion efficiency, utilizing the refined 1P/MB/DSVM scheme.

Authors:   Adhiparasakthi Engineering College, Rajendran Aruna , Jayamani Raja ,   Adhiparasakthi Engineering College
Published: February 2024

The natural energy sources such as oil, coal, natural gas are finite. Also the environmental issues such as global warming have become increasingly serious and require attention. The applications of renewable energy (RE) sources viz. Solar, wind, biomass and tidal power as a major form of clean technology could be the right solution to solve energy crisis ahead with decreasing manufacturing cost. Power electronic converters are used to convert power from renewable sources to cater load demand and/ or grid. Instead of using different DC-DC converters for connecting renewable sources and storage system to the load, Multiport DC-DC converter as single unit can be used to improve efficiency and power density. Many such converters have been proposed in recent times each of which has different topology, reliability and efficiency. The comparison of such different topologies is carried on in this paper which can assist proper selection of suitable topology for any specific requirement. Also, the research extension of the topologies is discussed quoting how the voltage gain can be improved and development of multiport DC-AC inverters.

Authors:   Tshwane University of Technology, Akuru Udochukwu B.
Published: February 2024

This study is undertaken to highlight the competitive optimal performance of permanent magnet flux switching machines (PM–FSMs) in different wind generator drivetrains––low–speed (LS), medium–speed (MS) and high–speed (HS). The three–phase 12–stator slots/10–rotor teeth PM–FSM is selected for the study, for small–scale power applications. The design and optimisation is performed using a 2–D finite element analyses (FEA) tool. Thereafter, important features of the different wind generator drivetrains are evaluated and compared, especially in terms of cost of energy (CoE) versus performance. In the end, the study barely stops short of representing the MS as the best among the three drivetrains; however, it is clearly a preferred solution due to trade– offs in torque density and cost of generator.

Published: February 2024

Un nuevo método de construcción llamado estructura de acero permite reducir los desechos y los residuos generados, sin embargo, en la mayoría de países desarrollados este método se reemplaza por la construcción con paneles. Por su lado, fabricado en acero ligero, conformado en frío, galvanizado y revestido con paneles de cemento en su exterior y OSB de revestimiento vinílico, el Steel Framing está basado en perfiles de acero galvanizado que componen la forma y la estructura portante de la vivienda. Este sistema constructivo es liviano y permite cualquier tipo de terminación exterior e interior; es sostenible, causa menor impacto en el medio ambiente y aporta a los edificios nuevas características de habitabilidad y ahorro energético, utilizando tecnologías constructivas mejores en términos de seguridad, durabilidad, calidad y confort térmicos. Se ha demostrado que el comportamiento térmico del sistema de construcción en Steel Framing puede alcanzar condiciones similares a las de la mampostería y se pueden determinar niveles de aislamiento adecuados a través de la modulación otorgando una mayor resistencia a los paneles, lo que resulta en menores alturas de flexión para postes verticales. Los materiales aislantes se colocan en las paredes y entrepisos para limitar el paso de ruido y calor/frío.

Published: February 2024

This paper focuses on a construction attested in Old Romanian and Lipovan Romanian, but unavailable in standard Modern Romanian: the use of cine ‘who’ as a relative pronoun in headed relative clauses. We put forth the hypothesis that this structure is an effect of language contact. In particular, the interrogative cine ‘who’ acquired its relative value and the possibility to be used in headed relative clauses by grammatical replication of the Old Church Slavonic equivalent, respectively of the Russian equivalent. Although the two scenarios appear to be similar, the two varieties followed two distinct diachronic paths.

TRANSFORMING CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TO NEW PARADIGMS THROUGH DEEP LEARNING APPLICATIONS
Authors: Ghosal Indrajit , Prasad Bikram
Published: February 2024

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses are gaining popularity as a way to reach a larger number of customers and better suit their needs. Vertical brands are distinguished by their metamorphosis, in which they offer their products straight from the manufacturer to consumers without the use of distribution intermediaries, like in traditional business models. They're obliterating themselves on virtual platforms and undermining their old linear sales processes in the process. In the current scenario, the ability of connectionist models to explain consumer behavior, with a focus on the feed-forward neural network model, should be emphasized, and the possibility of expanding the implications of ANN (Artificial Neural Network) for predicting buying behavior for DTC (direct-to-consumer) brands should be explored. To forecast consumer loyalty as a critical feature of consumer behavior, a variety of neural network models of various complexity are constructed. When compared to the more standard logistic regression approach, neural networks outperform logistic regression in predicting customer loyalty. Utilitarian and Informational Reinforcement factors, both independently determined, are shown to contribute significantly to the explanation of consumer choice. The potential of connectionist models for predicting and explaining consumer behavior is discussed, and future research directions are proposed for investigating the predictive and explanatory capacity of connectionist models, such as neural network models, and their integration into consumer behavior analysis within the theoretical framework.

Infection rate was very high in the females (28.15%) host individuals as compared to males (2.51%). Adult individual hosts showed high rate of infection as compared to sub adults and calves. Maximum infection of H. excavatum was observed around udders and anus in female and male individuals respectively. Present study reveals vital epidemiological information of H. excavatum infection on B. bubalis population in Patan district which will be helpful in designing control and management policy for tick infestation.
« Il n’y a rien à voir. » De la difficulté à représenter le vivant végétal sur une scène théâtrale
Authors: Déchery Chloé
Published: February 2024

« Il n’y a rien à voir ». Une plante au plateau est un non-événement. Son temps est autre, plus long ou plus court que le temps humain ; sa mobilité et sa capacité transformatrice, imperceptibles à l’oeil nu. La plante, parent pauvre de l’objet scénique et de la marionnette, déçoit par sa difficulté à rentrer dans le champ du spectaculaire. Comment, dès lors, tâcher de figurer et représenter le vivant végétal en scène ? Comment rendre compte de ce corps alter, ainsi que de son langage chorégraphique et plastique singulier ? Après avoir décrit la restitution d’un processus de recherche-création qui a conduit à la fabrication d’une bardane hybridée et robotisée pour la création de la pièce Bardane et moi (2022), l’article ouvre sur une typologie des modes de représentation du vivant végétal dans deux spectacles contemporains de théâtre et de danse. La plante, en co-présence avec d’autres vivants, y est présentée comme partie prenante d’un dialogue discursif, somatique, et/ou sensible qui fait co-exister corps végétal et corps de l’interprète, de plain-pied dans une relation, tour à tour nourrie de rapports de soin, de compétitivité, de domination, d’exploitation ou d’attention. À travers l’examen de ces études de cas, nous verrons comment le modèle de la relation permet de dépasser la question de l’image théâtrale.
Faire équipe avec des plantes ? Quatre performances participatives et leurs au-delà
Authors: Beaufils Eliane
Published: February 2024

« Nous ne sommes pas seuls », et les humains se doivent de découvrir leurs alliances avec les plantes, suggèrent Lena Balaud et Antoine Chopot. Dans les quatre performances étudiées, les spectateurs découvrent des plantes in situ et interagissent avec elles. Mais dans quelle mesure ces formes participatives peuvent-elles s’appuyer sur la participation des spectateurs pour éveiller des imaginaires d’alliances anthropo-végétales, en commençant à les développer durant la performance ? Hypothèse et analyse prennent appui sur quatre dispositifs très dissemblables, deux parcours audioguidés sollicitant les interactions sensibles et poétiques des participants avec des plantes, un troisième qui fictionnalise radicalement les végétaux rencontrés, et un quatrième qui invite les spectateurs à devenir des parlementaires des organismes. Les dispositifs suggèrent des modalités du faire équipe avec les plantes également très variables : d’une sculpture sensible de l’environnement à la guérilla, en passant par l’aménagement de nos villes et même l’instauration d’une démocratie. Mais les vecteurs des alliances sont toujours pluriels, en appelant à la sensibilité, à la transmission d’informations et à l’action, si bien qu’ils semblent se compléter et donner lieu à des expériences marquantes. Ils favorisent divers modes de mises en relation, ainsi que les passages de la cognition ou de l’action aux savoirs incarnés.
De la proximité de la performance avec la vie végétale. Ou : comment apprendre les chants des plantes
Authors: Kunst Bojana
Published: February 2024

Dans cet article, la proximité entre vie végétale et performance théâtrale sera considérée suivant deux perspectives. Dans la première partie de l’article, il sera démontré que la proximité avec les plantes nécessite un ajustement sensuel, temporel et intime. Cet ajustement ou syntonie agit sur nos sens et est lié au déploiement de l’imagination esthétique et poétique. La performance peut ainsi être un espace d’invention poétique de la proximité et de l’enchevêtrement entre humains et plantes. En même temps, le rapprochement ne peut se produire que si la proximité de la vie végétale a des conséquences performatives pour le théâtre. Dans sa deuxième partie, l’article s’attache à démontrer qu’une véritable proximité affecte les relations sociales, politiques et esthétiques à travers lesquelles le théâtre existe. Étant donné que la photosynthèse est rarement possible dans les espaces théâtraux, la vie végétale perturbe également la communauté que le théâtre souhaite établir. La proximité des plantes modifie la manière dont la performance existe dans le monde ; elle déstabilise la manière dont la performance existe poétiquement, éthiquement et institutionnellement, la manière dont elle est produite, créée, partagée et suivie.

Social work field educators are facing new challenges and opportunities that
require innovative approaches to transform social work field education. Field education is
critical to student learning, and in turn, social work practice. In Canada, field education
is in crisis, due in part to growing social work student enrolments, government cutbacks to
post-secondary education, limited resources, and organizational restructuring, all of which
contribute to a reduced number of field placements in agency settings. The objective of this
study is to respond to this situation by engaging field educators to better understand what
is needed to transform field education in Canada. Researchers asked three to five questions
in 31 focus groups discussion sessions with field educators nationally. The responses were
coded using thematic analysis. This article presents three themes that are critical to the
transformation of field education: innovative practices for field education, impacts of
COVID-19, and decolonization of field education. The implications and recommendations call
on the collaboration of field education stakeholders across Canada to expand understanding
about the critical role of field education in organizations and the profession, and in turn,
nurture new field learning opportunities.
L’INTERVENTION SOCIALE AUPRÈS DES GROUPES EN RÉGION RESSOURCE : REGARD SUR LES EXPÉRIENCES D’INTERVENTION VÉCUES PAR LES INTERVENANTES ISSUES DU TRAVAIL SOCIAL
Authors: Labra Oscar , Castro Carol , Grenier Stéphane
Published: February 2024

Nous en connaissons peu sur la pratique d’intervention de groupe en région, ce qui ouvre un champ de questions qui dépassent de loin la simple description des conditions de travail en intervention. Ce travail souhaite valoriser et rendre « visible » la pratique d’intervention de groupe des professionnelles issues du travail social, dans un contexte québécois, et plus spécifiquement dans un environnement de région ressource, environnement qui pose des défis et des enjeux importants reliés à ce mode d’intervention. À travers une recherche qualitative et un processus de théorisation ancrée, ce mode d’intervention a été exploré auprès de 10 intervenantes. Les principaux résultats nous permettent d’identifier les spécificités régionales de l’intervention de groupe, telles qu’une pratique destinée fondamentalement aux femmes avec des approches choisies pour l’intervention, la confidentialité et la protection de la vie privée des participantes du groupe, le manque de transport en commun, et une pratique de groupe plus présente dans le milieu communautaire.
Formations of Feminist Strike: Connecting Diverse Practices, Contexts, and Geographies
Authors: Neuman Stanivukovic Senka , Robbe Ksenia , Thomas Kylie
Published: February 2024

This introduction to the special issue on Feminist Strike takes up the question of what remains marginalized and overlooked within dominant discourses on contemporary feminist protests. Drawing on experiences of and approaches to feminist refusal that involve questions of labour, we propose the ways in which conceptualizations of feminist strike can be employed as a lens to build a conversation between different practices, scales, and geographies, particularly across postcolonial and postsocialist contexts. Through a reading of Aliki Saragas’s film Strike a Rock (2017) about the women living around the Marikana miners’ settlement in the aftermath of a major strike, we explore how notions of feminist strike can be expanded by situating Black women’s struggles in South Africa within a long tradition of women’s resistance and showing how political resistance is bound to questions of reproductive work. To understand the intersection of postsocialist, post-conflict, and (pre-)Europeanization transformations, we consider the case of a large-scale strike and public demonstrations against the bankruptcy of the Croatian shipyard Uljanik that took place in 2018 and 2019. Our perspectives on the Marikana and the Uljanik strikes show how women in both places practise a politics of refusal and resistance against ruination, violence, and defeat. In the last section, we summarize the contents of the articles that comprise the special issue.
From Italy with Rage: Feminists Striking in Uncertain Times
Authors: Salvatori Lidia
Published: February 2024

In this contribution, I reflect on the significance of the Paro Internacional de Mujeres (International Women’s Strike) for contemporary Italian feminism. I draw from autoethnographic research within the feminist movement Non Una di Meno (Not One Less) to explore how the organization of the strike on March 8, 2017, contributed to the development of the movement's theorization and mobilization strategies. In this piece, I illustrate how digital connectivity had a central role in facilitating the expression of solidarity and processes of exchange and ‘contamination’ (Salvatori 2021) between movements across borders. I describe how the sharing of materials, slogans, hashtags, and songs centred on similar claims contributed to the construction of a transnational political subject. Through the strike, feminists analyzed and denounced how economic and patriarchal violence play out in the context of Italy, while highlighting the systemic and non-exceptional character of these forces within neoliberal societies more broadly.
