Impacts of noise and interference on the bit error rate of the FBMC-OQAM modulation scheme in 5G systems
Authors: Androon A. , Tikhonova O. V.
Published: May 2024

Objectives. The work sets out to evaluate the noise immunity of the signal modulation method in 5G networks using a filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC-OQAM) and to analyze the bit error rate (BER).

Methods. In the work, probability theory and mathematical statistics methods are applied according to computer modeling approaches.

Results. An analysis of BER for the signal modulation method in 5G networks, which uses a bank of filters with multiple carriers with offset quadrature amplitude modulation under noise conditions, is presented. The resistance of the method to intra-cell, inter-cell, and inter-beam types of interference in the 5G channel, as well as additive white Gaussian noise, is investigated. The graphical and numerical data obtained through computer modeling demonstrates improved BER in 5G networks using FBMC-OQAM. The presented comparative analysis of error probability in the FBMC-OQAM system under various types of noise and interference emphasizes the impact of these factors on the quality of information transmission.

Conclusions. The FBMC-OQAM method is characterized by the low impact on the error probability of the data transmission system in 5G networks of various types of interference including intra-cell and inter-cell interference, inter-beam interference, and nonlinear distortions. However, it will be necessary to further optimize the method and develop algorithms for enhancing error probability in the FBMC-OQAM system under real conditions in 5G networks. The research results can be used in the development of 5G networks.

Authors: Berfelde Rabea , Blumenfeld Jacob
Published: May 2024

Wir diskutieren die Zusammenhänge zwischen historischen sowie aktuellen Debatten um Vergesellschaftung und demokratische Wirtschaftsplanung. Anhand der historischen Vergesellschaftungsdebatte wird gezeigt, dass sowohl die Wirtschaftsplanung als auch die Demokratisierung der Ökonomie zentrale Ziele verschiedener Vergesellschaftungskonzepte waren. Während die Vergesellschaftungsdebatte die Transformationsperspektive stärker in den Vordergrund rückt, konkretisiert die Debatte um demokratische Wirtschaftsplanung das Ziel, also die Gestaltung einer gemeinwohlorientierten und radikal-demokratischen Produktionsweise.
Deep Learning Based Noise Identification for CSAMT Data Processing
Authors: Weiqiang Liu
Published: May 2024

Controlled-source audio-frequency magnetotellurics (CSAMT) has been seriously affected by strong electromagnetic interferences including large-scale drift, durative outbreak interference, and impulsive outliers. To improve the efficiency of noise reduction, a deep learning strategy was proposed to identify the type of noise interference, so as to select the appropriate noise reduction method. First, a CSAMT time series simulation algorithm was developed based on current decomposition and one-dimensional (1D) forward modeling. Three kinds of noise interferences were also generated by simulation and randomly added to the pure signals. A total of 30000 groups of simulated noisy electromagnetic signals were generated. Together with 210 sets of practically measured data, these samples were used to train a long-short-term memory network (LSTM) noise classifier. Then, three targeted de-noising algorithms were adopted to separate the three interferences in the CSAMT time series according to the identifications. The test results by simulated data showed that the identification accuracy of LSTM for noise interferences can reach more than 95%. Finally, the noise identification and suppression methods were applied to a practical CSAMT dataset and the effect was further verified.
Characterization of a Small Abandoned Municipal Solid Waste Scattered Landfill Combining Remote Sensing and Near-Surface Geophysical Investigations
Authors: Bièvre Grégory , Garambois Stéphane
Published: May 2024

This study reports the combination of remote sensing and ground geophysical techniques to locate an abandoned and hidden municipal solid waste landfill located in a fluvial plain in the French Western Alps. Following earthworks and further floods that eroded into the river bank, wastes made of a mixture of plastic, metal and soil/earth, were uncovered and some of them flowed into the river. The existence of an abandoned landfill, several decades-old, was known, but the knowledge of its exact location was forgotten. Historic aerial photographs back to 1948 allowed delineation in space and time of the location of a platform that was used for landfill operations between around 1973 and 1983. A LiDAR DEM acquired in 2012 allowed was used to locate topographic depressions 0.1 to 0.4 m in depth, notably inside the platform. These depressions are interpreted as resulting from differential compaction originating from the presence of compressible wastes. Geophysical mapping techniques (magnetic and electromagnetic) confirmed the presence of anomalies inside the identified platform. Geophysical imaging techniques (ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography) provided a quantitative evaluation of the width and depth of the individual pits. The combination of the different techniques allowed for estimating the first-order volume of waste. The methodology adopted in this work is applicable to detect landfills exhibiting differential compaction and physical contrasts.
Analysis on the Induced Polarization Characteristics of “Three-Phase” in Coal Goaves
Authors: Yang Yang , Qin Chuang
Published: May 2024

The induced polarization (IP) method can obtain different response characteristics in the detection of coal goaves, water-bearing goaves, rock fissure water-bearing areas, and has a good distinguishing effect. Based on the theory of soil mechanics, the composition and IP characteristics of “three phase” of coal goaves are analyzed. The “three phase” models are established under different conditions, such as coal goaves and rock fissure water-bearing areas. By conducting a series of experiments, the relationship between the “three-phase”-related parameters (saturation, porosity) and the IP parameters (resistivity, polarizability) was analyzed. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that: coal goaves are characterized by “high resistivity, low polarizability”, the water-bearing goaves are “low resistivity, medium-high polarizability”, while the rock fissure water-bearing areas are “low resistivity, high polarizability”; the IP parameters are closely related to the saturation and porosity of the coal seams. Combined with the experimental project of Huanglian Coal Mine in Shanxi Province, China, the theoretical analysis results are verified.

The Different Angles of the European Democracy
Authors: Sándor Lénárd
Published: May 2024

The history of the institutionalised cooperation in Europe now looks back to more than seven decades. What differentiates this cooperation from other international organisations is the common heritage and destiny the European countries share and the community they have found in a high level of integration. However, since the very beginning of this cooperation, there have been debates about the best method and way to express common European positions. Part of this debate is the question of the democratic legitimacy of the Union institutions. As it is set out in Article 2 of the Treaty of the European Union, democracy is not only a fundamental value of the Member States, but also an expectation towards the European Union. Even though the institutional setting of the European democracy has gone a long way in the past seven decades, the question of democratic legitimacy is still being one of the key subjects and future challenges within the framework of the currently ongoing discussions on the future of Europe. There is no shortage of reform proposals, nevertheless, the main debate has been rather one-sided as it envisions only one avenue to decrease the so-called “democratic deficit” and strengthen the European policy space. What is the function of democracy in the context of the European integration and how can it represent a European position or serve as a check over the Union institutions? What institutions could be able to create a bridge between the peoples of the Member States and the European institutions? This paper seeks to outline the different responses to these questions. To this end, it outlines the theoretical background and institutional evolution of democratic legitimacy in the European integration while seeks to evaluate the current proposals and envision the alternative ones.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to see the effects of the tourism sector on the number of carbon emissions in Indonesia. The importance of the tourist industry in Indonesia is growing in parallel with its growth and economic contribution, but It is undeniable that all economic activity, including tourism, has an impact on environmental change, particularly the rise in carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, testing was carried out using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method to see the long-term and short-term relationships between the independent variables to the dependent variable. The variables used in this study are CO2 emission values, tourist arrivals, tourism contribution to GDP and foreign direct investment. For long-term analysis, FDI has no effect on carbon emissions in Indonesia, tourist arrivals have a positive and significant effect on alpha 1%, while the contribution of tourism to GDP has a negative and significant effect on alpha 5% on carbon emissions. In the short-term the CO2 variable from the previous period has a significant positive effect on current CO2, current tourist arrivals have a significant negative effect on current CO2 (10% error rate) and the Tourism Contribution of the previous two periods has a significant negative effect on the 5% error rate to the number of carbon emissions in Indonesia.

Authors: Harahap Rahma Hayati , Asengbaramae Rowiyah , Karindra Nadia Aulia
Published: May 2024

Through influencers and E-WoM, TikTok creates a favourable environment for users in adapting and trying new things, both in terms of consuming products and marketing products. Through Baudrillard's theory, it can be seen that Gen Z’s consumption culture is influenced by their self-representation on social media.
The background of this research lies in a shift in the paradigm of beauty consumption in the era of Generation Z. TikTok users quickly promoted and adopted a variety of beauty trends, creating a foundation for understanding the symbolic meaning created by the Gen Z’s consumption culture. The theory used is Jean Baudrillard's theory of consumer society. In this theory, consumer society no longer consume objects based on exchange values or usage values, but because of symbolic values which are abstract and constructed in nature.
This article uses a literary study research method that involves searching and critically analysing relevant literature related to the title of the article.
This study aims to explain Gen Z’S consumption culture on Tiktok’s beauty trend through Baudrillard's sociological economic perspective. Therefore, this article not only explains the beauty trends that are emerging in TikTok, but also opens up a discussion about how tikTok contributes to the formation of Gen Z’S identity and consumption culture.

Вступ. Забруднення атмосферного повітря хімічної природи, у тому числі важкими металами, є однією з найбільших екологічних небезпек для громадського здоров’я. Мета дослідження. Визначення впливу забрудненого важкими металами атмосферного повітря промислових міст Дніпропетровської області на здоров’я населення за показниками канцерогенного і неканцерогенного ризиків. Матеріали та методи. Дослідження проведено з використанням методів системного підходу, бібліосемантичного, аналітичного, медико-статистичного. Результати. Середньорічні концентрації важких металів у атмосферному повітрі промислових міст Дніпропетровської області за 10-річний період дослідження не перевищували ГДКс.д. та характеризувалися певними просторово-часовими особливостями. У той же час, оцінка ризику розвитку неканцерогенних ефектів за інгаляційного впливу важких металів на організм людини свідчить, що загальний індекс небезпеки у м. Кам'янське є високим, у м. Дніпро – насторожуючим, у м. Кривий Ріг – допустимим. При цьому існуючий рівень забруднення повітряного середовища досліджуваних міст канцерогенними речовинами з групи важких металів не може вважатись безпечним й обумовлює певний ризик для здоров’я їх мешканців. Така ситуація певним чином зумовлена невідповідністю окремих гігієнічних регламентів міжнародним стандартам та зумовлює необхідність їх перегляду, а також зміни підходів при визначенні небезпеки для здоров’я людей від забруднення атмосферного повітря з використанням методології розрахунку показників неканцерогенного та канцерогенного ризику відповідно до міжнародних рекомендацій. Висновки. Отримані результати свідчать про існування ризику розвитку неканцерогенних та канцерогенних ефектів у населення промислових міст від впливу важких металів атмосферного повітря. Така ситуація потребує динамічного і постійного контролю, розробки і проведення планових оздоровчих заходів з їх мінімізації, а у окремих промислових містах – впровадження термінових комплексних заходів щодо його зниження.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics in grasslands during land use change: consequences for plant-microbe interactions and ecosystem function
Authors: Eck Jenalle , Aavik Tsipe , Koorem Kadri , Bardgett Richard , Semchenko Marina
Published: May 2024

1. Land use change can cause the loss of plant species and functional diversity, but whether it drives eco-evolutionary changes within plant species is unclear. 2. Semi-natural grasslands are particularly threatened by land use change, including management intensification on productive soils and abandonment on marginal land. As such, they serve as an excellent system for exploring if and how land use change causes evolutionary changes within plant populations and what their wider consequences could be. 3. Here we synthesise what is known about land use impacts at the plant community and ecosystem level, build predictions on potential evolutionary responses and review empirical evidence available to date. We predict that land use intensification and abandonment may cause genetic and functional shifts in grassland plant populations, disrupt plant-microbial associations and create eco-evolutionary feedbacks that impact wider ecosystem processes. Evolutionary responses to land use may also undermine the adaptive potential of plant species to future climate change. 4. Synthesis: This review highlights the lack of studies on eco-evolutionary dynamics in ecosystems under land use change, despite their potential importance for the functioning and stability of plant and soil communities and the ecosystem processes that they maintain.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Barriers of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination among Pregnant Women Visiting Primary Healthcare Centers in Qassim, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alqahtani Afnan , Jahan Saulat
Published: May 2024

Seasonal influenza presents a heightened risk to pregnant women, emphasizing the importance of vaccination. Yet, the influenza vaccination rate among this group is low. This study explores the knowledge, attitudes, and barriers towards seasonal influenza vaccination among pregnant women in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. In this cross-sectional study, 276 pregnant women from primary healthcare centers in Qassim were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument gathered information regarding socio-demographic details, knowledge about, attitudes towards, and barriers against influenza vaccination. Data was analyzed using SPSS Software. Although a high level of vaccine awareness (95.7%) was observed among participants, the vaccination uptake (34%) was low. There were considerable variations in the median knowledge and attitude scores across different socio-demographic groups. Individuals with higher education, living in urban areas, and working in healthcare showed better levels of knowledge and more positive attitudes towards vaccination. The primary barriers to immunization included concerns regarding potential side effects and uncertainties regarding the importance of vaccines. The study demonstrates a significant disparity between awareness and actual vaccination among pregnant women in Qassim. Bridging this gap requires public health education to address misconceptions and implement communication strategies customized to socio-demographic characteristics. Training healthcare professionals in communication skills could also play a vital role in increasing vaccine uptake. Further research is recommended to devise effective interventions for increasing influenza vaccine uptake.
Mental health conditions among correctional officers in Nusakambangan, Indonesia
Authors: Hamzah Imaduddin
Published: May 2024

Backgound: Several studies have found a relationship between work environment conditions and employee mental health. However, there are very few studies on the mental health of employees working in correctional institutions, with different levels of risk and security threats.
Purpose: To find differences in the mental health of correctional officers in correctional institutions who work with different levels of security medium, maximum, and super-maximum. 
Method: Data were collected using a mental health scale on one hundred and sixteen correctional officers on Nusakambangan Island, Cilacap Regency, Central Java. (Super-maximum n = 37, maximum n = 50, and Medium n = 29. The Mental Health Inventory (MHI-38), created by Veit and Ware (1983), was used to measure mental health. The MHI-38 has been translated into Indonesian and tested into 24 items after being modified for validity and reliability. 
Results: Correctional guards' mental health differed between medium, maximum, and super-maximum security correctional institutions, according to the test of difference (Sig.<0.05, F = 4.034). Officers at medium security scored lower on the danger perception scale than those at Max and Super-Max prisons. On the other hand, medium correctional officers demonstrated better mental health than Super-Max correctional officers. A substantial difference in mental health was found between the Med and Max prisons (0.046, CI =.09:8.54) and Super-Max (0.06, CI = 1.87:10.85) according to the difference tests conducted on the mental health of officers at medium, maximum, and super-maximum security correctional institutions.

Authors: Sulistiawati Tuti , Rahmilasari Giari , Puspitasari Nike Arta
Published: May 2024

Background: Sectio Caesarea causes a break in the continuity of the tissue that secretes pain receptors, especially after the anesthetic effect is gone. If pain, is not treated on time, the recovery period is delayed, the hospitalization time is longer, and the incidence of complications and the costs incurred are higher. The incidence of cesarean section in the world globally is 11%, and at Sartika Asih Hospital, Bandung in 2022 is 20% of all delivery, with a mother won’t move because of fear and pain after delivery. Early mobilization is one of the interventions to overcome the pain.
Purpose: To determine the effect of early mobilization carried out six hours after cesarean section surgery on pain at Bhayangkara TK II Sartika Asih Hospital, Bandung.
Method: This study used a quasi-intervention type with a pretest-posttest two-group design. The sample was total sampling which was divided into 15 people each in the intervention and the control group to measure the pain of post cesarean mothers with the Verbal Rating Scale (VRC)
Results: There were significant differences in pain levels before and after the intervention in the intervention group, with a median (5 ± 1.5) to (3 ± 0.4), and in the control group (8 ± 1.3), to (8 ± 1.2). In the Wilcoxon test, p-value of 0.001 in the intervention group and p-value of 0.250 in the control group.
Conclusion: Early mobilization had an impact on reducing the pain scale. Implementation for early mobilization since 6 hours can be used as non-drug pain management for Post Sectio Caesarea mothers to reduce pain levels.

Performance Analysis of a Water-Drive Oil Reservoir: An Oilfield Case Study
Authors: Bawahab Mohammed , Hazim Dmour
Published: May 2024

One of the primary responsibilities of a reservoir engineer is to evaluate the performance of hydrocarbon reservoirs to estimate the original hydrocarbons in place, reserves, ultimate oil/gas recovery factor. This responsibility becomes complicated in the case of water-drive reservoirs due to the high uncertainty associated with aquifer properties, including rock properties and aquifer geometry. This paper presents a new method to find the optimum aquifer model based on the root mean square error (RMSE) values by using MBAL software. The study investigated the transmissibility between the X, Y, and Z reservoirs in the field. Additionally, the original oil-in-place (OOIP) was estimated by using material balance equation and Monte Carlo concepts.

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are found in diverse environments, such as soils, rivers, and seas. Hence, they can be used as bioindicators to assess the water quality based solely on their presence. In this study, we determined the presence of FLA in river water by filtering water samples collected from various sites and culturing the resulting filtrates. FLA were detected in all the water samples with varying quality grades (Grades Ι-V). The significant increase in the size of the amoebae population with the deterioration in the water quality. Monoxenic cultures of the amoebae were performed, and genomic DNAs were isolated, among which 18S rDNAs were sequenced to identify the amoeba species. Of the 12 species identified, 10 belonged to the Acanthamoeba genus; of the remaining 2 species, one was identified as Vannella croatica and the other as a species of Vermamoeba. Acanthamoeba was detected in samples with Grades Ι to VI quality, whereas the Vermamoeba species was present only in Grade Ι water. V. croatica was found exclusively in water with Grade ΙΙ quality. Following morphological observations, genomic DNA was sequenced using 16S rDNA to determine whether the species of Acanthamoeba harbored endosymbionts. Most of the isolated Acanthamoeba contained endosymbionts, among which 4 species of endogenous bacteria were identified and examined using transmission electron microscopy. This study provides evidence that the distribution of amoebae other than Acanthamoeba may be associated with water quality. However, further confirmation will be required based on accurate water quality ratings and assessments using a more diverse range of FLA.
