Application of the HIRADC (Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Determining Control) Model on Field Testing Activities conducted by Lab X, East Java, Indonesia
Authors: Elang Suryanegara  , Endang Dwiyanti
Published: June 2024

As the industrial and labor sectors develop in Indonesia, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) are becoming increasingly important. To ensure that companies in these sectors are up to standard, industrial labs such as Lab X help these organizations conduct the appropriate tests and surveys. However, Lab X itself has not ensured their own job activities and organizational environment are following the established standards. Thus, the purpose of this research is to conduct a HIRADC model analysis on Lab X activities, specifically on field testing. This research is qualitative with an analytical approach conducted in the lab and in the field during testing activities, between 8 January 2024 and 8 March 2024. The data for this research come from both primary and secondary sources, obtained by observation, interview, discussion, lectures, and other research papers or supporting materials. The HIRADC findings identify chimney testing and field measurement activities as the most hazardous at LAB X, primarily during chimney ladder ascent/descent and working at sampling points. Current controls include the "3 contact" ladder principle and PPE like full-body harnesses. Although risk probability has decreased, severity remains unchanged. New measures focus on providing first aid for fall accidents, including portable first aid kits and collaboration with company personnel. Implementation of these controls aims to decrease severity in the future, enhancing safety at LAB X Surabaya.

Authors: Zanuarita Fidya Husada  , Atika  , Andriyanti
Published: June 2024

Background: Health cadres play a crucial role in delivering health information, particularly concerning the early detection and management of high-risk pregnancies. Health cadres need to have strong knowledge to assist them in detecting, monitoring, and providing appropriate care to high-risk pregnant women. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the knowledge of health cadres regarding high-risk pregnancies at Puskesmas Simomulyo, Surabaya (Simomulyo Public Health Center). Methods: This study employed an observational analytic cross-sectional design to collect data from health cadres involved in maternal and child health programs. A multistage random sampling technique was used to obtain the sample. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation and Chi-Square tests. Results: Statistical tests on 47 health cadres at Puskesmas Simomulyo (Simomulyo Public Health Center) showed that the age factor had a p-value of 0.005, the education factor had a p-value of < 0.001, the employment factor had a p-value of 0.070, and the experience factor had a p-value of 0.014 in relation to cadre knowledge. The majority of respondents were aged 25-40 years, had secondary education, were unemployed, and had less than 5 years of experience as cadres. Most cadres had adequate knowledge about high-risk pregnancies. Conclusion: This study demonstrates a positive correlation between age and education with the knowledge of health cadres, whereas employment did not show a significant relationship. Experience as a cadre was also associated with increased knowledge. These results support the development of more focused educational and training strategies to enhance the knowledge of health cadres regarding high-risk pregnancies at Puskesmas Simomulyo, Surabaya (Simomulyo Public Health Center).

Published: June 2024

We report three cases of congenitally elevated scapula or Sprengel deformity diagnosed and followed in our hospital. This very rare congenital deformation of the shoulder girdle is characterized by more or less deformed and abnormally high shoulder blades. It is often found in young children, causing functional and aesthetic problems. When surgery is indicated, imaging examinations are recommended to diagnose structures from the scapula to the cervical spine, ossified (omo vertebrae) or non-ossified (fibrous and/or cartilaginous junctions). Ultrasound is readily available and, above all, easy to perform for young children. The CT scan is essential to look for an omovertebra and associated vertebral anomalies. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for evaluating possible fibrous and/or cartilaginous components.
Data sovereignty frameworks for space-based data platforms
Authors: Vaghani Divyeshkumar
Published: June 2024

Despite widespread support, data sovereignty is still in its nascent stages. Consequently, current methods for transferring sovereign data are underdeveloped and could be enhanced. To address these issues, this paper introduces an architecture that utilizes edge computing resources to host both the data and the connector. Additionally, we develop a system based on this architecture, enabling the transfer of sovereign data between users using space-based data platforms. To assess our approach, we deploy our system in a real-world environment with users located in different countries and conduct various experiments. In order to generate representative outcomes, we conduct a total of 2,520 experiments. The results demonstrate significant performance improvements, such as reduced communication latency and increased network bandwidth, compared to a baseline utilizing cloud computing resources. We have constructed a system for sovereign data exchange that leverages edge computing resources to facilitate the transfer of data from a provider to a consumer. Furthermore, we have deployed this system in a real-world scenario and have demonstrated that the proposed approach offers reduced latency and increased bandwidth compared to a baseline relying on the cloud. Given the promising outcomes, we believe that future investigations could delve into usage control techniques that can be implemented at the network edge and explore scalability considerations.

DiadFit: An open-source Python3 tool for peak fitting of Raman data from silicate melts and CO2 fluids
Authors: Wieser Penny E. , DeVitre Charlotte
Published: June 2024

We present DiadFit—an open-source Python3 tool for efficient processing of Raman spectroscopy data collected from fluid inclusions, melt inclusions and silicate melts. DiadFit is optimized to fit the characteristic peaks from CO2 fluids (Fermi diads, hot bands, 13C), gas species such as SO2, N2, solid precipitates (e.g. carbonates), and Ne emission lines with easily tweakable background positions and peak shapes. DiadFit's peak fitting functions are used as part of a number of workflows optimized for quantification of CO2 in melt inclusion vapour bubbles and fluid inclusions. DiadFit can also convert between temperature, pressure and density using various CO2 and CO2-H2O equations of state (EOS), allowing calculation of fluid inclusion pressures (and depths in the crust), conversion of homogenization temperatures from microthermometry to CO2 density, and propagation of uncertainties associated with EOS calculations using Monte Carlo methods. There are also functions to quantify the area ratio of the silicate vs. H2O region of spectra collected on silicate glasses to determine H2O contents in glasses and melt inclusions. Documentation and worked examples are available (https://bit.ly/DiadFitRTD, https://bit.ly/DiadFitYouTube).
DETERMINATION OF THE RELIABILITY INDICATOR ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL CONDITION OF THE ELEMENTS OF CONTACT PAIRS
Authors: Romanov Igor'
Published: June 2024

The assessment of the effectiveness and economic feasibility of using technical products over time is their reliability, which is predicted at the design stage. The technical task of predicting the required level of reliability should be considered from the perspective of the functional state of certain elements and their mating under specified operating conditions. The external conditions and the response of the elements to them determine the characteristics of changes in the parameters of the technical condition, which should be chosen from the point of view of analyzing the physics of the processes leading to failure.
In most cases, contact pairs, including sliding friction pairs with periodic impacts, are subject to wear during operation, therefore, one of the parameters of their working condition is their geometric dimensions, which decrease in time determines the rate of the parameter change from its initial to the limiting value. The construction of this functional dependence allows determining the average value of the parameter at any time, control the achievement of its pre-failure value and, as a result, predict failure.
The construction of the curve of change rate of the parameter determining the workable state of the contact pair in accordance with the approaches presented in the paper is only the first stage of reliability predicting. No less difficult is the stage of choosing a material that provides a given level of reliability.

The main study objective is to make a composite material based on an aluminum alloy with increased strength and plastic properties compared to aluminum alloys traditionally used in mechanical engineering. The tasks to which the paper is devoted are to develop a technology for making a specified composite material and to study its basic mechanical properties. Comparative analysis at the stage of determining the relevance of the work, mathematical calculation of explosion welding parameters to obtain a composite and testing on a tensile machine in order to obtain values of strength and plastic parameters are used as research methods. The novelty of the work is in the application of technological operations that give the material a set of properties that it did not possess in its original state. The study results show that this area is in demand both in Russia and abroad; new improved aluminum alloys are made; the most relevant way to improve properties is to make a composite material. A composite is obtained, which has a 40% higher tensile strength and 3% higher elongation compared to the starting material. When compared with the traditionally used AMg5M alloy, the developed composite has an advantage of 35% in strength parameters and 70% in plasticity. Also, this material has an advantage in strength and ductility over 1565h MU alloy.

This study aims to research the relationship between perceptions of talent management and work engagement behaviours of academicians in Turkish Universities. The survey method was conducted in the study and data were gathered by means of online questionnaires. The sample of research consists of 335 academicians who completed the questionnaires. Because of normally distributed data parametric tests were used to make analyses.
Results of the study show that there is a positive, linear, and moderate relationship between talent management and work engagement behaviours. Talent management predicts 27.8% variances in work engagement. It is determined that there is a difference in work engagement level between public universities and private universities in favour of private universities. It is also determined that there are differences in carrier evaluation and institutional evaluation dimensions of talent management in favour of private universities. According to gender and educational status talent management dimensions and work engagement do not differ. The relationships between dimensions of talent management and work engagement are shown with structural equation modelling.
In this context, it should be stressed that administrators of universities should increase activities supporting the development of academicians to promote work engagement behaviours.

Thoughts Behind Action: Recidivism among Children-in-Conflict with the Law
Authors: Akilith Andrie Jann
Published: June 2024

This study examined the recidivism of Children-in-Conflict with the Law (CICL) using three (3) theories, the Ecological Systems Theory, Labeling Theory, and Differential Association Theory. Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), children ages 15 years and 1 day but not more than 18 years old with pending cases at law who had previously committed offenses at the Barangay or Prosecutor level in Second Chance Home of Calamba (SCH) were asked utilizing a semi-structured interview. To understand how the theories influenced the persistence of recidivism among CICL, the researcher examined their physical, social, and cultural backgrounds. This study generated eleven (11) superordinate themes which were: Dysfunctional Households; Multifaceted Issues in Early School Leaving; Inconsistent Community Support; Offender Profiling; Perceived Psychological Distress due to Formal Labels; Social Marginalization; Inexistent CICL Segregation; Social Modeling; and Delinquent Peers and Family.This study aimed to inform policies and practices that may aid in lowering or stopping CICL recidivism by studying how these theories manifest in participants' actual experiences. By identifying the risk factors associated with recidivism, researchers and policymakers may develop personalized prevention programs that address the core causes of delinquency and aid at-risk adolescents. Investigating recidivism among CICL can result in safer communities and better outcomes for young people involved in the criminal system. This study also proposed an enhanced diversion program for CICL who are currently receiving rehabilitation, CICL who are released as minors, and CICL who are released as adults.
The Role of Westernization in the Changing African Family Structures: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Adaki Andeskebtso Yohanna
Published: June 2024

As African societies continue to experience rapid social and economic transformations, traditional family systems are undergoing significant shifts, giving way to new forms and dynamics, with the diffusion of Western cultural values, ideologies, and practices being identified as a major catalyst in reshaping family structures across the continent. This paper explored the impact of Westernization on the African traditional family, focusing on causes, dynamics, and effects. It explored the dimensions of Westernization and its impact on family life in Africa, encompassing areas such as marriage patterns, household sizes, gender roles, divorce rates, intergenerational relationships, and the dynamics of kinship networks. Utilizing a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, this research aggregated and synthesized insights from an array of scholarly works spanning cultural sociology, globalization studies, and African family dynamics and captured how Western ideals, such as individualism, gender equality, and nuclear family models, have both challenged and coexisted with traditional norms, often leading to a shift from traditional arranged marriages to more self-centred decisions like dating and cohabitation. The paper argued further that the influence of Westernization on family structures in Africa is multidimensional, with both positive and negative outcomes. As African societies navigate the complexities of cultural preservation and adaptation, balancing traditional values and Western influences is crucial for maintaining harmonious family dynamics across generations. The paper concluded by emphasizing the need for informed approaches to understanding the impact of Westernization on African family structures.
NLP and speech intelligibility
Authors: Anikin Andrey , Pisanski Katarzyna , Reby David
Published: June 2024

At some point in our evolutionary history, humans lost vocal membranes and air sacs, representing an unexpected simplification of the vocal apparatus relative to other apes. One hypothesis is that these simplifications represent anatomical adaptations for speech because a simpler larynx provides a suitably stable and tonal vocal source with fewer nonlinear vocal phenomena (NLP). The key assumption that NLP reduce speech intelligibility is indirectly supported by studies of dysphonia, but it has not been experimentally tested. Here, we manipulate NLP in vocal stimuli ranging from single vowels to sentences, showing that the source needs to be stable, but not necessarily tonal. When the task is to discriminate synthesized monophthong and diphthong vowels, continuous NLP (subharmonics, amplitude modulation, and even deterministic chaos) actually improve vowel perception in high-pitched voices, likely because the resulting dense spectrum reveals formant transitions. Rough-sounding voices also remain highly intelligible when continuous NLP are added to recorded words and sentences. In contrast, voicing interruptions and pitch jumps dramatically reduce speech intelligibility, likely by interfering with voicing contrasts and normal intonation. We argue that NLP were not eliminated from the human vocal repertoire as we evolved for speech, but only brought under better control.
Disuguaglianze territoriali e ritorni all’istruzione: un’analisi del dualismo Nord-Sud e delle differenze tra aree centrali e marginali in Italia
Authors: Panichella Nazareno , Cantalini Stefano , Avola Maurizio , Piccitto Giorgio
Published: June 2024

Classical research on returns to education has systematically shown that individuals with more schooling are more likely to have higher earnings, prestige, social status, etc. Few studies focused on the role of spatial arrangements and geographical inequalities in this debate, despite most developed societies experience growing territorial disparities. In this respect, Italy has been experiencing large disparities between ‘central’ and ‘marginal’ areas, which go beyond the classic rural/urban and North/South cleavages. ‘Central’ areas are those attracting highly qualified human capital, offering better job opportunities and life chances, and easing the so-called inclusive institutions. ‘Marginal’ areas, on the contrary, are systematically associated with fewer economic and life opportunities and are involved in a more general ‘spiral of marginality’, i.e. a gradual depopulation and a constant reduction in the available services. While the North/South cleavage (the questione meridionale) has been at the core of academic and public discussion, there is little research on the social consequences of the differentiation between marginal and central areas ‘within’ these classic geographical cleavages.This work thus aims at studying if and how returns to education differ between ‘central’ and ‘marginal’ areas in Italy. Analyses based on the Italian Labour Force Survey (2009-2020) show that tertiary educated living in Northern provinces earn much more than those living in provinces located in the South or in the Islands. Moreover, we found that the higher the marginality of a province (i.e., the larger the proportion of population of a province living in ‘marginal’ municipalities), the lower the returns to tertiary education. However, large part of this association is explained by the North-South divide. Therefore, the cleavage between marginal and central areas is crucial and cumulates with the North-South one. The penalization of tertiary educated living in marginal areas occurs only in an already disadvantaged context (South), whereas more advantaged contexts (North) are likely to have characteristics that compensate for the penalization given by the geographical marginality.
On men's pro- and anti-feminist engagement in Sweden
Authors: Mollwing Jonas
Published: June 2024

This article describes and analyses Swedish men’s contemporary pro- and anti-feminist engagement. Men who engage with feminism view it as either enabling or constraining the satisfaction of their needs. The pro-feminist men believed feminism helped them improve the lives of both women and men by changing themselves and other men. The anti-feminist men opposed feminism in two general ways. Liberal anti-feminists considered it a threat to individual men, while conservative anti-feminists believed it threatened nuclear families and Western society. A combination of spoken (in the form of interviews) and written (in the form of social and traditional media) accounts from Swedish men on feminism constituted the study’s data. Beyond describing pro- and anti-feminist men’s differing viewpoints on feminism, a model articulating the main aspirations of men’s pro- and anti-feminist engagement is presented. The model asserts that the groups take on different positions in the struggle over recognizing and satisfying social and material needs.

Nanofluids are a type of emerging heat transfer fluid with great promise for thermal engineering due to its high heat transfer coefficients. Improving heat transmission remains an ongoing task in engineering fields as diverse as semiconductor technology and high-performance vehicles. This paper investigates and compares the jet impact heat transfer coefficient, thermal conductivity, and viscosity of nanofluids with those of a base fluid in an automobile radiator with nozzle plate spacing. Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and deionised water were selected as the working fluids, and they were used in varying quantities ranging from 0 to 1 volume percent. The nanofluids were prepared using a two-step method with the aid of an ultrasonic homogeniser. The results reveal that the heat transfer coefficient increased by 11.68% at a nanofluid concentration of 1% when nanoparticles were suspended in the base fluid.

This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of potential pathogenic bacteria from surface water samples collected at 30 stations along Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Among 116 bacterial isolates identified, the composition analysis indicated 24 distinct bacterial genera, with Vibrio (29.3%), Pseudomonas (23.3%), Staphylococcus (8.6%), and Bacillus (6.0%) being the most dominant. The taxonomic analysis revealed 61/116 (52.6%) isolates as potential pathogens (risk group 2) belonging to 21 bacterial species. Potential pathogens were detected in 28/30 (93.3%) sampling stations, with the most common pathogens including Vibrio alginolyticus (n=25), Vibrioparahaemolyticus (n=5),Enterobacter cloacae (n=3), Pseudomonas mendocina (n=3), Aeromonas hydrophila (n=2), Enterobacter asburiae (n=2), Klebsiella oxytoca (n=2), Bacillus cereus (n=2),and Staphylococcus haemolyticus (n=2). The selected pathogens were highly resistant to Amoxicillin (100%), Piperacillin (100%), Amoxicillin + Clavulanate (85.7%), Ticarcillin (71.4%), Cefoxitin (54.4%), Kanamycin (50%), and Fosfomycin (50%), and less resistant to Trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole, Fusidic Acid, Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Pristinamycin, Dalacin, and Rifampicin (<25%), and susceptible to the remaining antibiotics. Notably, 12/23 (52.2%) isolates were resistant to at least three antibiotics and were multidrug-resistant bacteria. Our findings underline that the occurrence of pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the marine environment of Ha Long Bay presents a potential threat to human health. Further genomic surveillance studies are necessary to manage and control the emergence and spread of pathogenic-resistant bacteria in this area.

In this study, the authors aim to determine the chemical compositions of the essential oil from Ocimum tenuiflorumleaves and to evaluate its antioxidant and antifungal activities. The essential oil used in this research, extracted by hydrodistillation, was chemically profiled using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. Methyl eugenol (46.07%), caryophyllene (15.65%), eugenol (11.83%), β-elemene (4.33%), β-copaene (4.18%), caryophyllene oxide (3.18%), and α-copaene (1.95%) were identified as major components of the essential oil. The results indicated that the essential oil of O. tenuiflorum leaves possessed relatively high 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 53.5 and 55.1 μg/ml, respectively, compared with 67.2 and 63.2 μg/ml, respectively, for the positive control. The reducing powers of O. tenuiflorum essential oil and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at a concentration of 200 μg/ml were 0.95 and 0.73, respectively. Additionally, the essential oil of O. tenuiflorum at a concentration of 200 μg/ml strongly inhibited the mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani.
