RELIGIOUS RESILIENCE OF CHINESE PEOPLE
Authors: Taqwa Ria Hayatunnur , Barriyati Barriyati , Hartono Prenki
Published: September 2023

Resilience in psychology can be interpreted as resilience, and the word resilience according to Luthans is in the ability of the individual to persevere, and bounce back from a difficult situation to recover happiness after encountering an unpleasant situation or condition. Resilience is suspected to be visible when a person encounters a difficult experience, and knows how to face or adapt. The resilience of Chinese converts is still an interesting theme to be further studied regarding religious conversion by Chinese in subsequent studies. This is because religious conversion will affect the personality of Chinese converts after converting to Islam. In addition, the response of Chinese converts who make social rejection of other family members who choose Islam as their new religion can also be used as a further research study. Guidance and guidance to Chinese converts is not just limited to akidah, can pray, read the Quran, but psychologically it is necessary for a companion who has the ability to relieve the anxiety of Chinese converts and help them become kaffah Muslims. Coaching and mentoring are not limited, or limited to conversion time, but it is necessary to build relationships on an ongoing basis so that the behavior of Chinese converts can be a link for the creation of a multicultural community order in Pontianak City as a further research study.

Vitreous floaters – etiology, diagnostics and treatment
Authors: Skowronek Joanna , Święch Anna
Published: September 2023

Vitreous floaters are one of the most common complain of ophthalmological patients. The aetiology of floaters includes pathological process (vitreous haemorrhages, injuries, diabetics or uveitis) and also natural age-related changes in vitreous body. Diagnosis and treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms. Process of posterior vitreous detachment requires particularly careful monitoring, because of potential complications such as retinal tears or retinal detachment. Supplementation with anti-glycation and antioxidant substances allows to reduce complains of patients with vitreous floaters.
The effectiveness of foreign exchange interventions in Japan
Authors: Guyot Opale , Montgomery Heather , Sheng Dachen
Published: September 2023

This study informs the academic and policy debate on the policy effectiveness of exchange rate interventions on exchange rate levels and volatility. Using a constructed data set comprising daily data on exchange rates, monetary policy fundamentals, exchange rate intervention dates and magnitudes of those interventions as well as financial news speculation of such interventions, we empirically estimate the policy effectiveness of Bank of Japan interventions in the exchange rate over the 12-year period between 2010 and 2022. This allows us to investigate the policy effectiveness of a variety of exchange rate interventions, or news of exchange rate interventions, across different time-horizons. We find that policy interventions in the yen exchange rate are more effective over short-horizons than long-horizons, more effective when the policy objective is a competitive devaluation of the yen rather than a revaluation, and more effective at influencing the level of the yen against major world currencies other than the US dollar. In fact, for the yen-dollar rate, we find that policy interventions may have the unintended consequences of weakening the yen (when the policy intention is to strengthen it) and increasing volatility in the yen-dollar exchange rate.

Authors: Zuin Marco , Imazio Massimo , Rigatelli Gianluca , Pasquetto Giampaolo , Bilato Claudio
Published: September 2023

Aims

Data regarding the risk of incident pericarditis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recovered patients are lacking. We determined the risk of incident pericarditis after COVID-19 infection by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of available data.

Methods

Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched MEDLINE and Scopus to locate all articles published up to 11 February 2023 reporting the risk of incident pericarditis in patients who had recovered from COVID-19 infection compared to noninfected patients (controls) defined as those who did not experience the disease over the same follow-up period. Pericarditis risk was evaluated using the Mantel–Haenszel random effects models with hazard ratio (HR) as the effect measure with 95% confidence interval (CI) while heterogeneity was assessed using HigginsI2statistic.

Results

Overall, 16 412 495 patients (mean age 55.1 years, 76.8% males), of whom 1 225 715 had COVID-19 infection, were included. Over a mean follow-up of 9.6 months, pericarditis occurred in 3.40 (95% CI: 3.39–3.41) out of 1000 patients who survived COVID-19 infection compared with 0.82 (95% CI: 0.80–0.83) out of 1000 control patients. Recovered COVID-19 patients presented a higher risk of incident pericarditis (HR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.56–2.43,I2: 71.1%) compared with controls. Meta-regression analysis showed a significant direct relationship for the risk of incident pericarditis using HT (P = 0.02) and male sex (P = 0.02) as moderators, while an indirect association was observed when age (P = 0.01) and the follow-up length (P = 0.02) were adopted as moderating variables.

Conclusions

Recovered COVID-19 patients have a higher risk of pericarditis compared with patients from the general population.
Comparative assessment of deterministic methodologies for estimating excavation productivity
Authors: Panas Antonios , Pantouvakis John-Paris , Kalogiannaki Maria
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates the prediction capability of deterministic methodologies in estimating construction productivity for earthmoving operations. Published literature includes several estimation methodologies stemming from (a) equipment manufacturers’ manuals, (b) editions from German contractors’ associations or individual researchers and (c) textbook editions. The purpose of this research is to assess the yielded productivity estimation results under the prism of 14 estimation methodologies. It is – to the authors’ best knowledge – the first research attempt for the comparative evaluation of such a diverse set of estimation methodologies, with the aim of quantifying their effects on the operations analysis in earthmoving works. A uniform mathematical modelling approach is used to formulate the relevant estimation equations and, subsequently, a real-case scenario of an earthmoving project in Greece is used as a benchmark against which the robustness of each methodology is assessed. A sensitivity analysis on main productivity factors concludes the research. The preliminary results indicate that equipment manufacturers’ methods are more optimistic and present higher sensitivity to specific productivity factors (e.g. swing angle, excavation depth), whereas the German-oriented approaches are more conservative with less variability due to differing productivity factors.
A competency framework for strategic planning managers in multi-business holding organisations
Authors: Ershadi Mahmoud , Moghaddam Mohammad Rahimi , Ezabadi Mohammad Ebrahim Raei
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, the business environment is dynamic and constantly changing, which intensifies competition among companies. The complexity of competition in multi-business holding companies is higher than in other organisations due to the complexities of different industries and their uncertainties in terms of investment policies and corporate strategies. Such companies need a strategic plan to align business requirements with their various functions. In this regard, strategic planning managers (SPMs) have a significant role in analysing possible business scenarios and putting optimal plans in place to guarantee their implementation in a specific timeline. This study aims to identify and discuss the necessary competencies and capabilities of this cohort of managers. In the present article, a qualitative approach was adopted, and the findings are based on observations in a case study multi-discipline holding organisation. The viewpoints of the key managers were obtained, and a competency framework was developed. The results indicate that the professional competencies of SPMs can be explained in terms of the two aspects of (1) strategy formulation and (2) strategy implementation. A framework is presented in this paper that summarises the viewpoints of managers in the case study organisation on the requisite competencies of SPMs. Although prior studies explain the general competencies of managers from a universal perspective, this study steps beyond the borders of such models and extends the literature on the professional competencies of a specific and most influential cohort of business managers in holding organisations through an in-depth case study.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in children and adolescents at a public reference center in Brazil: factors involved in diabetes tratment and their effects on glycated hemoglobin
Authors: Barros Sofia , Nigri Alcinda , Gianini Reinaldo
Published: September 2023

Objective: Evaluate the factors involved in type 1 Diabetes Mellitus treatment in children and adolescents. Method: The cross-sectional study occurred between Sept/2020-July/2021 and involved 56 patients with previous diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, aged 0-18 years, treated at a public outpatient clinic in Sorocaba. We applied a questionnaire regarding their treatment and got HbA1c, heigh and weight values from their medical records. The analysis of associations/differences among the data and HbA1c was made through Students t-test, ANOVA and linear regression, and we calculated standard deviation, confidence interval (95%) and significance value (p<0.05=significant). Results: The study population (n=56) had a mean age of 9.67 years, 62.49% exercised less than 30min/day and 39.29% were overweight/obese. In patients with HbA1c values registered in their records (n=49), the mean HbA1c was 81mmol/mol (9.57%). The analogous insulin regimen had a mean HbA1c=77mmol/mol (9.21%), with pvalue=0.0175, while other regimens had mean HbA1c>86mmol/mol (10%). The follow-up to a food plan reduced the HbA1c from 107mmol/mol (11.9%) to 67mmol/mol (8.33%), with p-value=0.0027. Patients aged 2-10 years had HbA1c=69mmol/mol (8.45%), compared to 98mmol/mol (11.19%) in those aged 11- 18 years (p-value=0.0004). Conclusion: The findings highlight the poor glycemic control in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes and a high prevalence of sedentarism and overweight/obesity. There was an inverse association between the HbA1c and the use of analogous insulins, follow-up to a food plan and age 2-10 years. These factors should be considered during the treatment plan for type 1 diabetes.

Published: September 2023

Los suelos del Cesar presentan degradación y una baja capacidad productiva, lo que hace necesario la implementación de tecnologías como la fertirrigación considerando sus propiedades fisicoquímicas. En esta investigación se evaluó el efecto de la aplicación de fertirriego con pivote central sobre la productividad hídrica (WP) en pasto Megathyrsus maximus cv. Agrosavia Sabanera en un suelo con variaciones de pH, bajo condiciones del Caribe seco colombiano. Se fijaron 5 rangos de pH como tratamientos; cada uno con tres parcelas experimentales. Las variables evaluadas fueron: WP, producción de materia seca (MS), forraje verde, porcentaje de materia seca, altura del tallo, altura de la planta y contenido de macro y microelementos del forraje. En el suelo se determinó la densidad aparente, pH, conductividad eléctrica (CE) e infiltración. La WP fue mayor a 2.83 kg/m3 y la MS superó los 0.72 kg/m2 con pH del suelo inferior a 7.8 (p<0.05); a un pH entre 5.5 y 7.8 la asimilación de nitrógeno, potasio y calcio fue mayor (p <0.1); se observó mayor desarrollo de la planta en el suelo con pH entre 5.5 y 6.9 (p<0.05); en relación con las propiedades edáficas se observó una correlación positiva entre la infiltración y el crecimiento del tallo y una correlación negativa del crecimiento del tallo frente al pH, la CE y la asimilación de manganeso (p<0.1); la producción de biomasa del pasto Megathyrsus maximus cv. Agrosavia Sabanera es favorable cuando el suelo presenta un pH entre 5.5 y 7.8.

Published: September 2023

El tratamiento de lixiviados de rellenos sanitarios requiere de procesos que permitan la remoción eficaz de los diferentes contaminantes presentes en este tipo de residuos líquidos. Para el tratamiento de este tipo de residuos se han empleado una gran diversidad de procesos biológicos, los cuales aprovechan la capacidad de transformar los diferentes componentes del medio liquido en biomasa, sin embargo, estos procesos poseen limitaciones debido a las características intrínsecas del lixiviado. En los últimos años se ha impulsado la integración de los procesos biológicos con los Procesos Avanzados de Oxidación, lo cual permitiría reducir significativamente las características toxicas de estos residuos para así cumplir con las condiciones legales para ser vertidos al ambiente sin que se produzcan daños. En la presente revisión se investigan los trabajos recientes (2015 a 2021) referentes al tratamiento biológico y con procesos Avanzados de Oxidación (basados en ozono, procesos electroquímicos y fotocatálisis). Estos procesos se analizan en combinación, para describir las condiciones óptimas en las que se reducen las cargas contaminantes de los lixiviados de rellenos sanitarios. Finalmente es posible identificar que los procesos de tratamiento en estudio son tecnologías que pueden ser acopladas, registrando mayor eficacia y menor generación de subproductos de desecho o lodos.

Este trabajo realizó un análisis bibliométrico de correlación entre palabras claves relacionadas al análisis de ciclo de vida (ACV) y sistemas de tratamiento de agua residual, buscando identificar la relevancia del tratamiento con microalgas. La biomasa de estos microorganismos permite la valorización del efluente residual ya que puede ser empleada en la obtención de energía a través del biogás generado en la digestión de reactores anaerobios y también como fuente potencial para la producción de metabolitos de alto valor industrial. La mayoría de los ACV obtenidos en la búsqueda emplean flujos de referencia como la cantidad de biomasa producida, volumen de agua tratada y equivalentes producidos por persona. Las unidades funcionales más reportadas corresponden a 1m3 de agua residual tratada y aguas residuales producidas por equivalente poblacional. La herramienta predominante para el desarrollo de los ACV correspondió al software SimaPro, aplicando la metodología de impactos ReCiPe.

The Impact of Drilling Operation Parameters on the Lost Circulation Problems for Oil and Gas Wells Based on Field Data
Authors: Shehab Mayssa N. , Al Najm Fahad M. , Al Kaabi Mohammed H.
Published: September 2023

Lost circulation, the loss of drilling fluid into holes or fractures throughout the geological formations being drilled, is the most expensive problem encountered in drilling operations for oil and gas wells. It is known that when there is a loss of circulation during the drilling process, the operation activities are delayed or stopped for curing or treatment, resulting in extra time known as non-productive time (NPT). The NPT issues during the drilling operations are the most important priorities for planning any drilling program. Therefore, the lost circulation is one of the main problems which can control the NPT. To mitigate the lost circulation problems, an integrated investigation is necessarily needed for the main parameters which enhance/downgrade the rate of lost circulation.
Drilling through the Dammam and Hartha formation is typically accompanied with substantial nonproductive time due to severe and often entire drilling fluid losses. The majority of the curing this problem require time for preparation, placement or setting. In this research, a field study was carried out to investigate the effect of 6 drilling parameters on the rate of the lost circulation. The investigated parameters are the rate of penetration, weight on bit, stand pipe pressure, mud weight, flow rate, and the equivalent circulation density. Furthermore, the effect of lithology type on the lost circulation rate was clearly determined and correlated. In addition, a graphical representation of bit depth vs the real drilling time/date was constructed to compare the lossy wells vs non-lossy wells named frithogram. This study was based on field data for 350 wells drilled in Rumaila Oilfield, southern Iraq. The results of this study showed that if these six operating parameters are standard and controlled, the significance of lost circulation problems could be reduced. However, the main factors which are responsible for the lost circulation problems are lithology types, facies and/or diagenesis process, which mainly distinguish the carbonate formations.
Estimates of Coefficients for Bi-Univalent Functions in the Subclass H_∑ (n,γ,φ)
Authors: Abdullah Khalid I. , Mohammed Nafya H.
Published: September 2023

Considering that finding the bounds for the coefficients of the Taylor-Maclaurin series expansion of bi-univalent functions is one of the important subjects in geometric function theory that has attracted the attention of many researchers in the last few decades, we also take a step in this direction. Finding such bounds is the main focus or, more clearly, the main problem of our work. In this article, we study the subclass H_∑ (n,γ,φ) of bi-univalent functions which is defined in the open unit disk D. Furthermore, we obtained the upper bounds estimates for the first coefficients |a_2 | and |a_3 | of the functions in this category by using subordination method. From the main result of the article (Theorem 2.1), special cases have been derived that improve some the results of previous articles.

Introduction. Metabolic syndrome has been associated with changes in several hematological parameters, such as red blood cells, platelets, and leucocytes. Therefore, hematologic parameters can be used to identify the subjects at risk of metabolically unhealthy phenotypes (MUP). The current study investigated if hematological parameters can serve as biomarkers to distinguish metabolically healthy phenotype (MHP) from MUP in children and adolescents. Methods. Two hundred ninety-two children and adolescents were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The MUP was diagnosed using consensus-based criteria. Group comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine if sex, age group, nutritional status, puberty, hematological parameters, and insulin resistance were associated with MUP. Results. The subject's age mean was 11 years (SD: 2.61). RDW values were significantly lower in children in the metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) group compared to children with metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) group (12.33 ± 0.90 vs. 13.67 ± 0.52; p = 0.01) and in metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) compared to MUO group (13.15 ± 0.53 vs. 13.67 ± 0.52; p = 0.04). In adolescents, the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio was higher in the MHNW group, with a mean value of 152.60 (SD 62.97) compared to 111.16 (SD 44.12) for the MHO group. However, after adjusting for age, nutritional status, and puberty, hematological indices were not associated with MUP. Conclusions. The study demonstrates that hematologic parameters are not independently associated with the MUP, and it is unlikely that they represent reliable biomarkers for screening for the MUP in the pediatric population.
Variation of k’ / t’ as a Characteristic Feature of the German Mennonites Language in Siberia
Authors: Liebert E. A.
Published: September 2023

The article is based on the material of one of the Germanic languages represented in Siberia, known in the world asPlautdietschor the Low German language (dialect) of the Mennonites. One of the striking features of thePlautdietschconsonant system is considered – the variation of the k’/t’ sound types in certain positions in the word, primarily in combination with the vowels of the front row (k’int/t’int‘child’,k’oak’/t’oat’‘church’), as well as in some consonant combinations (for example, drin’k’ә /drin’t’әto ‘drink’,ma:lk’/ma:lt’‘milk’). The use ofk’ort’, respectively, was considered by some researchers to be the markers of two dialects within the Mennonite language:k’– Chortiza andt’– Molotscha. From a diachronic point of view, these sounds go back to the common Germank; they appeared as a result of the so-called Frisian palatalization. Archival dialectological material confirms the use of these two sounds in the Mennonite colonies of southern Russia at the beginning of the last century.

In the settlements of Siberia, where there are a large number ofPlautdietschspeakers, according to our observations, the forms with t’ were used according to the Molochna type (t’oat’‘church’,t’int‘child’,veat’‘week’).

A new impetus to the exploration of this alternation was given by the material collected during the last linguistic expedition to the village of Apollonovka in the Omsk region, where a large isolated community ofPlautdietschspeakers is located. In the speech of the inhabitants of this village, the use oft’(Molochna type) prevails in all these positions, however, the forms onk’used by some carriers were also recorded (so, you can hearma:lk’/ma:lt’‘milk’,k’in’a/t’in’a‘children’ and so on). At the same time, both forms are recognized by the informants as correct.

The assumption is made that these sound types cannot be regarded as consonants marking different dialects, but rather as optional variants.

A sound was also recorded that was not mentioned in the studies earlier (s’t’), which appears in preposition to sonorants, especially before-l:k’lɔid/t’lɔid/s’t’lɔid‘dress’. The consonant under consideration can be tentatively designated as a soft medial-occlusive spirant. Most likely, its appearance represents the third stage of mitigation in the considered alternation according to the schemek > k’ > t’ > s’t’.

The observations presented in the article, based on the analysis of actual field material, can be the beginning of further study of the variability of the Mennonite language in Siberia.
Analyzing Disagreements in Argumentation Annotation of Scientific Texts in Russian Language
Authors: Pimenov I. S.
Published: September 2023

This paper presents the analysis of inter-annotator disagreements in modeling argumentation in scientific papers. The aim of the study is to specify annotation guidelines for the typical disagreement cases. The analysis focuses on inter-annotator disagreements at three annotation levels: theses identification, links construction between theses, specification of reasoning models for these links. The dataset contains 20 argumentation annotations for 10 scientific papers from two thematic areas, where two experts have independently annotated each text. These 20 annotations include 917 theses and 773 arguments. The annotation of each text has consisted in modelling its argumentation structure in accordance with Argument Interchange Format. The use of this model results in construction of an oriented graph with two node types (information nodes for statements, scheme nodes for links between them and reasoning models in these links) for an annotated text. Identification of reasoning models follows Walton’s classification. To identify disagreements between annotators, we perform an automatic comparison of graphs that represent an argumentation structure of the same text. This comparison includes three stages: 1) identification of theses that are present in one graph and absent in another; 2) detection of links that connect the corresponding theses between graphs in a different manner; 3) identification of different reasoning models specified for the same links. Next, an expert analysis of the automatically identified discrepancies enables specification of the typical disagreement cases based on the structural properties of argumentation graphs (positioning of theses, configuration of links across statements at different distances in the text, the ratio between the overall frequency of a reasoning model in annotations and the frequency of disagreements over its identification). The study shows that the correspondence values between argumentation graphs reach on average 78 % for theses, 55 % for links, 60 % for reasoning models. Typical disagreement cases include 1) detection of theses expressed in a text without explicit justification; 2) construction of links between theses in the same paragraph or at a distance of four and more paragraphs; 3) identification of two specific reasoning models (connected respectively to the 40 % and 33 % of disagreements); 4) confusion over functionally different schemes due to the perception of links by annotators in different aspects. The study results in formulating annotation guidelines for minimizing typical disagreement cases at each level of argumentation structures.

Published: September 2023

La inteligencia artificial (IA) se ocupa de desarrollar sistemas que realizan tareas que normalmente requieren inteligencia humana. El machine learning (ML) es una rama importante de la IA y tiene aplicaciones significativas en medicina. Estas aplicaciones han permitido avances en anestesiología, donde se han desarrollado algoritmos capaces de reconocer patrones en las ondas arteriales y predecir episodios de hipotensión, disminuir el dolor posoperatorio y monitorear la anestesia. Todas estas herramientas son capaces de asistir a los médicos en la prevención de eventos y en la toma de decisiones. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que, hasta ahora, las herramientas basadas en ML no pueden reemplazar el juicio clínico del anestesiólogo debido a posibles sesgos inherentes a la programación inicial.

Biosynthetic engineering of bi–cyclic darobactins, which selectively seal the lateral gate of the outer membrane pro-tein BamA, lead to highly active analogues which are up to 128–fold more potent against critical and clinically relevant Gram–negative pathogens compared to their native counterparts. Because of their excellent antibacterial activity, darobactins represent one of the most promising new antibiotic classes of the last decades. Here we present a series of structure-driven biosynthetic modifications of our current frontrunner, darobactin 22 (D22), to investigate modifica-tions at the understudied positions 2, 4 and 5 of the darobactin heptapeptide for their impact on bioactivity. Novel darobactins were found highly active against critical pathogens from the WHO priority list. Antibacterial activity data were corroborated by determination of the dissociation constants KD with BamA beta barrel. The most promising de-rivatives, D22 and D69, were subjected to ADMET profiling, showing high metabolic and plasma stability and low plasma protein binding. We further evaluated D22 and D69 for bioactivity against multidrug–resistant clinical isolates and found them to have low to submicromolar activity.
Regularized weighted sine least-squares spectral analysis for gas electron diffraction data
Authors: Tikhonov Denis
Published: September 2023

Here, we present a new approach for obtaining radial distribution functions (RDF) from the electron diffraction data using a regularized weighted sine least-squares spectral analysis (rwsLSSA). It allows for explicitly transferring the measured experimental uncertainties in the reduced molecular scattering function to the produced RDF. We provide a numerical demonstration, discuss the uncertainties and correlations in the RDFs, and suggest a regularization parameter choice criterion.
Cooperative Carbene Photocatalysis for B-Amino Ester Synthesis
Authors: Tanaka Nao , Zhu Josh , Valencia Oniya , Schull Cullen , Scheidt Karl
Published: September 2023

B-Amino acids are useful building blocks of bioactive molecules, including peptidomimetics and pharmaceutical compounds. The current limited accessibility to B-2,2-type amino acids which bear an a-quaternary center has limited their use in chemical synthesis and biological investigations. Disclosed herein is the development of a new N-heterocyclic carbene/photocatalyzed aminocarboxylation of olefins, affording B-2,2-amino esters with high regioselectivity. The generation of nitrogen-centered radicals derived from simple imides via a se-quence of deprotonation and single-electron oxidation allows for the subsequent addition to gem-disubstituted olefins regioselectively. The intermediate tertiary radicals then cross-couple with a stabilized azolium-based radical generated in situ to efficiently construct the quaternary centers. Mechanistic studies including Stern-Volmer fluorescence quenching experiments support the proposed catalytic cycle.

Authors: Roshni Tiwari M.
Published: September 2023

The survey focuses on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing cyber security, as well as the challenges that come with it. AI has become a crucial component in addressing the increasing sophistication of cyber-attacks and malware. Implementing intelligent cyber security measures, especially in support, situation awareness, and data management domains, is necessary for optimal effectiveness. Professional system technology is a promising technology in areas where neural networks may not be the most suitable technology. While the timeline for universal computing advances is unclear, it is important to note that attackers can potentially use such technology as soon as it becomes available. Therefore, advancements in machine learning, knowledge understanding, illustration, and handling can significantly enhance a system's capacity for cyber security. This article provides a comprehensive review of AI and computer applications in cyber security and offers recommendations for improving security system intelligence.
Secure and efficient data transfer in AODV routing protocol using RSA encryption
Authors: Chatheka Ngazi Mangazi , Glorindal Selvam
Published: September 2023

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are recognised as a key emerging technology for use whenever cellular communications are either infeasible, inefficient, or cost-ineffective. MANETS are composed of nodes that are arranged in a self-organizing manner, without a central device like a switch or router. The nodes communicate with each other over wireless links and cooperate in a distributed fashion. Smartphones are the most ideal network nodes in many scenarios where traditional networks are unavailable, but building a secure network with them is not easy. This paper extensively uses the existing possibilities to build a secure MANET. The designed MANET has been built on an NS3 simulator, with the base protocol being Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and message encryption is done by using RSA Algorithm. The Secure AODV protocol extension is implemented using the RSA extension.

إنَّ تزايدَ الخطورةِ الإجراميةِ لدى نزلاء المؤسسات الإصلاحية ومؤسسات الصحة العقلية، أصبح يُهَدِّدُ السلامةَ العامةَ للمجتمع، وسلامةَ النزلاء والعاملين في هذه المؤسسات. وقد دفع هذا الوضع نظامَ العدالةِ الجنائيةِ إلى اتخاذ إجراءاتٍ لتقييم النزلاء، وتحديد حجم الخطورة التي قد يُشَكِّلها سلوكهم ضد الآخرين، واتخاذ التدابير اللازمة لمنع هذه الخطورة. وقد كان التقييم في بدايته يعتمد على الخبرة الشخصية للقضاة وضباط السجون، إلا أنه لم يكن دقيقًا. والتقييم الدقيق للخطورة الإجرامية يقتضي استخدام مقاييس وأدوات تتميز بالصدق والثبات والقدرة على التنبؤ بحدوثها خلال فترة زمنية معينة. وقد ظهر خلال العقود الأربعة الأخيرة ما يزيد عن 150 مقياسًا لتقييم الخطورة الإجرامية.
ويُقَدِّم هذا التقرير لمحةً عن الوضع الحالي لهذه المقاييس، ويستعرض المقاييس الأكثر استخدامًا في التقييم والتنبؤ بخطر العنف لدى نزلاء المؤسسات العقابية والإصلاحية. ويوضح التقرير نشأة وتطور مقاييس تقييم الخطورة الإجرامية وأنواعها منذ نهاية العشرينيات من القرن الماضي، إلى الحركة البحثية المتنامية في الثمانينيات.
وقد تم تصنيف هذه المقاييس إلى أربعة نماذج أساسية مرتبة حسب تطورها التاريخي، وهي: أولًا: النموذج الإكلينيكي الذي يعتمد على الحكم الذاتي للقضاة وضباط السجون والممارسين الصحيين في تقييم خطر العنف. ونظرًا لاعتماد هذه الطريقة على الخبرة الشخصية في غياب معايير موضوعية فقد أكدت الدراسات أن تقييمها لا يتعدى احتمال الصدفة. ثانيًا: النموذج الأكتواري الإحصائي، الذي جاء نتيجة للانتقادات الموجهة للنموذج السابق، والذي يقوم على افتراض أن السلوك الماضي يُعْتَبَر مؤشرًا للتنبؤ بالسلوك المستقبلي، والذي يستخدم الخوارزميات الإحصائية للتنبؤ بخطر العنف من خلال المعلومات التاريخية للفرد. ومن عيوب هذه الطريقة الاكتفاء بالعوامل التاريخية، وعدم أخذها بالعوامل الدينامية الحالية في تقييم الخطورة. ثالثًا: نموذج حكم المهنيين المنظم، الذي يحاول تجنب عيوب الطريقتين السابقتين، حيث يجمع بين العوامل التاريخية والإكلينيكية التي ترتبط بالجريمة، إلى جانب تقدير الخبراء والممارسين الصحيين. رابعًا: نموذج دمج المراقبة المنظمة للأفراد مع إدارة الخطر، الذي يستهدف تعظيم فوائد العلاج والتأهيل للنزلاء لتخفيض الخطورة الإجرامية.
وينتهي التقرير بخاتمة تناقش بعض جوانب المقارنة بين النموذجين الرئيسين (الأكتواري والحكم المهني المنظم) مع محاولة تقليل الفجوة بينهما واعتبارهما نموذجين متكاملين. كما يستعرض التقرير توجيهات حول تطبيق الطرق المنظمة لتقييم الخطورة، وكيفية تصميم مقياس لتقييم خطر العنف لدى نزلاء المؤسسات العقابية في البلاد العربية.
The Right to Privacy: The Need For an Ever-Evolving Legal Movement
Authors: Bruno Gianna
Published: September 2023

Louis Brandeis and Samuel Warren wrote “The Right to Privacy” in response to the rise of the newspaper and its threat to the public’s privacy during the late 19th century. They critiqued the laws of the time because they saw a change in the world that was not being accounted for in existing legislation. Today, new technology is changing the world at an exponential rate and the public’s privacy is once again at risk. The laws have fallen behind the technology and there needs to be a call to update the current privacy laws.
7,341 Incidents and Counting: Analyzing the Evolution of American Hate Crime Legislation and How it Varies by State
Authors: Daniel Jessica
Published: September 2023

This article will explore what hate crimes are, and explore why they have been on the rise in recent years. I will track the evolution of hate crime legislation on both a federal and state level and argue that while rises in hate are consistent throughout time, they are also episodic. I will justify the need for hate crime legislation and demonstrate how state hate crime laws vastly differ, using a case study as support. I will make policy suggestions to improve existing legislation and advocate for an increase in federal funding allocated to hate crime training for law enforcement agencies. Lastly, I will suggest that training should also be required in schools and workplaces in order to diminish ignorance and intolerance, and to encourage communities to embrace and celebrate diversity rather than fear it
Gender, Crime, and the Disparities in the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Fu Alyssa
Published: September 2023

Crime rates in the United States have dropped overall, pointing to the efficacy of rehabilitation. When the data is separated by gender, however, female recidivism rates have exponentially increased. This suggests a failure in the criminal justice system- in fact, women may be more vulnerable to a cycle of crime. To resolve this issue, we must first understand what gender differences our system currently neglects. Studies have shown that women involved in crime experience greater amounts of psychological distress and trauma—both risk factors for recidivism. Thus, gender-focused programs may be necessary to properly address unique female pathways and experiences in crime.
