Provenance Interpretation and Depositional Environment of Sandstones of the Ajali Formation, South of Ifon, Western Flank of Anambra Basin, Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Oluwajana O. A.
Published: May 2024

Grain size analysis, heavy mineral analysis, and petrographic studies of sandstones of the Ajali Formation near Imoru (south of the Ifon), the western flank of the Anambra Basin, were conducted to determine the provenance and depositional environment. The textural attributes of the Ajali Sandstone were inferred from the statistical variables namely graphic mean, graphic kurtosis, inclusive graphic standard deviation (sorting), inclusive graphic skewness with values of 0.37 - 1.17 (average 0.55Ø), -9.84 - 3.07 (average 0.09Ø), 0.05 - 1.02 (average 0.75Ø), and -0.03 - 1.00 (average 0.35Ø) respectively. Bivariate plots, such as simple skewness measure versus standard deviation (sorting) and mean versus sorting, suggest that the Ajali Sandstone is mainly a fluvial environment. The petrographic result indicates that quartz is the dominant detrital component with iron oxide, and hematite and goethite are the major cement in the analyzed sandstone sample. The zircon–tourmaline–rutile (ZTR) indices range from 67.65% to 73.17%, indicating that the sandstones are sub-mature to mature. Provenance indicators support igneous rocks of acidic compositions (e.g., granite) and high-grade metamorphic rocks (e.g., granite gneiss) of the Basement Complex of Southwestern Nigeria.
Seventy-five years of global health lawmaking under the World Health Organization: evolving foundations of global health law through global health governance
Authors: Meier Benjamin Mason , Finch Alexandra
Published: May 2024

The World Health Organization (WHO) has been shaped by global health law throughout its history. Drawing from the post-war establishment of global governance under the United Nations (UN), the modern foundations of global health law were laid by the WHO Constitution, which provided WHO with a range of normative authorities to realize its mandate as the UN’s directing and coordinating authority in global health. Yet WHO has faced political challenges in exercising these normative authorities to advance global health law, revealing the limitations of law as a foundation of global health governance. This article chronicles the 75-year evolution of global health law through WHO governance – beginning in the expansive authorities under the WHO Constitution, examining the political obstacles that long hobbled legal advancements, recognizing the revitalized space for law and policy in the twenty-first century, and analyzing the new limitations exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic response. Global health law reforms will be essential to strengthen global health governance. By analyzing how past challenges to global health law offer lessons for ongoing legal developments, this timely historical analysis offers lessons for WHO reforms to facilitate global solidarity.
A rights-based approach to eliminating cervical cancer in Africa
Authors: Durojaye Ebenezer , Omoruyi Aisosa Jennifer , Knipe Paula
Published: May 2024

This article assesses Africa’s path to eliminating cervical cancer as a human rights imperative. It discusses states’ obligations in relation to the rights to health, life and non-discrimination in relation to gender and priority setting for cervical cancer prevention and control, as well as the need to address disparities in access to care. The needs of vulnerable and marginalized women are explored through the lens of women living with HIV (WLHIV). It argues that the cervical cancer burden in Africa is highest in countries which correlate with high HIV prevalence, and so the elimination of the disease in this group requires specific strategies tailored to their context. It notes further that cervical cancer cannot be eliminated in Africa without specific attention given to the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination women face, and how this impacts their access to health care. It concludes by providing some concrete suggestions to African governments to address cervical cancer as a human rights imperative.
Commentary: COVID-19 compulsory vaccination for certain worker categories and the socio-economic consequences of non-compliance before Italy’s Constitutional Court: a public health and human rights analysis
Authors: Greco Donato
Published: May 2024

With Judgment No 15 of 9 February 2023, the Italian Constitutional Court upheld the legitimacy of the compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 imposed on specific categories of workers and of the consequences of non-compliance. This contribution analyses the reasoning of both the referring judges and the Constitutional Court, to understand whether the latter’s conclusion can be said to be persuasive. In this respect, it is first maintained that the Court was correct in justifying the limitation on the right not to be subject to unwanted health treatments since the right to health also entails the State’s obligation to protect public health. What appears to be questionable is the Court’s finding that the exclusion of suspended workers from the maintenance benefits or any form of social security is constitutionally legitimate. A more careful consideration of international human rights law might perhaps have led the Court to a different conclusion.
Analysis of Valve Leaks in Cargo Lines in MT. Bull Damai 1
Authors: Widiatmaja Arya , Purwantono Purwantono , Pramono Ongky Akbar
Published: May 2024

The necessity for petroleum in Indonesia is very large every year. Of course, in the process of equal distribution across all area in Indonesia, effective and efficient transportation is needed, i.e. tanker vessel. The condition of a vessel greatly influences the smooth distribution of petroleum. When the author carried out sea project on the MT. Bull Damai 1, author found a cargo of crude oil that cannot be sucked by the cargo oil pump. It turned out that this was influenced by damage to the valve on the cargo pipe in the tank. The aim of this research was to determine the factors that cause damage to valves on cargo pipes and to determine the maintenance of valves on cargo pipes so that cargo discharging results will be maximized. From the research results, it can be seen that insufficient maintenance of the valves on the cargo pipe can cause the valve to become damaged. In this research, one part of the valve, namely the seat ring, was torn, which caused the valve to not be tight and allowed air to enter the cargo oil pump system, so that the cargo oil pump cannot suck the cargo until it runs out (dry). Factors that cause valves on cargo pipes to be damaged are lack of maintenance by the vessel’s crew, poor valve operation which results in cavitation and water hammering, over running hours, and valves that cannot be closed completely. Maintenance is carried out by referring to the PMS (Planned Maintenance System) and the ship's manual, operating manual, and paying attention to the effects of water hammering and cavitation.
Reflexiones sobre la “razón populista” y su forma mítica de configuración del pueblo, a partir de la filosofía de Ernst Cassirer
Authors: Ríos Flores Pablo Facundo
Published: May 2024

En La razón populista, Ernesto Laclau reflexiona sobre la lógica de la formación de las identidades colectivas y, en particular, del “pueblo” como categoría política. En esta obra, el autor reconoce la importancia de la “metamorfosis de lo sagrado” en la lógica de la soberanía popular de las democracias modernas y, con ello, en el populismo. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la lógica de la “razón populista”, descrita por Laclau, como una modalidad mítica de constitución de la subjetividad política, a partir de las reflexiones de Ernst Cassirer sobre el “mito político”. Con ello, se pretende echar luz sobre algunos aspectos del proceso de sacralización presente en la construcción de la identidad popular característica del populismo, así como sobre sus peligros inherentes, en la vida política contemporánea.
Los viajes de la Unidad Popular Las “lecciones de Chile”, entre Italia y América Latina
Authors: Cortés Martín
Published: May 2024

El texto analiza la circulación, entre Italia y América Latina, de los debates en torno de la relación entre socialismo y democracia suscitados en el marco del gobierno de la Unidad Popular en Chile (1970-1973). Se analiza cómo las “lecciones de Chile” animaron el debate italiano de su tiempo y contribuyeron a configurar la estrategia eurocomunista adoptada por el Partido Comunista en los años 70. Asimismo, se indaga en el hecho de que una zona de la intelectualidad latinoamericana no registrara significativamente los dilemas de la experiencia chilena pero sí reservara atención privilegiada a esos mismos temas en su versión italiana.
Integrated Geophysical Methods to Discriminate the Locations of the Subsurface Weakness Zone Areas in the State Company for Glass and Refractories at Al-Ramadi City, Iraq
Authors: Salman Amina , Al-Rahim Ali
Published: May 2024

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) techniques were employed at specific sites in the State Company for Glass and Refractories in the city of Ar-Ramadi, Iraq to investigate subsurface weakness zones. ERI was applied at three selected stations using a Dipole-dipole array with a-spacing of 1m, and GPR was conducted with 250MHz antenna at the same stations. The investigation results revealed that subsurface weakness zones in the quaternary deposits were found at depths ranging approximately from 2.5 to 5 meters. Additionally, a second weakness zone in the Injana Formation deposits was identified at a depth approximately 7 to 12 meters. The ERI technique demonstrated its promise as a powerful subsurface imaging technology, providing more accurate structural information about the weakness zones compared to GPR, which exhibited less sensitivity and yielded more ambiguous results.

On strongly regular graphs with m2 = qm3 and m3 = qm2 for q = 11,12
Authors: Lepović Mirko
Published: May 2024

We say that a regular graph G of order n and degree r ≥ 1 (which is not the complete graph) is strongly regular if there exist non-negative integers τ and θ such that |Si ∩Sj | = τ for any two adjacent vertices i and j, and |Si ∩Sj | = θ for any two distinct non-adjacent vertices i and j, where Sk denotes the neighborhood of the vertex k. Let λ1 = r, λ2 and λ3 be the distinct eigenvalues of a connected strongly regular graph. Let m1 = 1, m2 and m3 denote the multiplicity of r, λ2 and λ3, respectively. We here describe the parameters n, r, τ and θ for strongly regular graphs with m2 = qm3 and m3 = qm2 for q = 11,12.

This study aims to accurately determine product selling prices by calculating the cost-plus pricing method at Permata Bakery. This research uses primary data with descriptive quantitative methods. The results showed that the selling price set by Permata Bakery differed from the one the author calculated. The calculations made by the business owners tend to be lower, so the selling price of the product is lower, and the profit earned tends to be lower because the selling price of the product is not accurate. Using cost-plus pricing-based calculations, Permata Bakery's profits are expected to increase. This research will help business owners set a precise selling price to make the business profitable. The cost-plus pricing method is expected to provide sustainable profits for small and medium enterprises, which, in practice, find it challenging to increase business capital in a sustainable business effort.

Use of Critical Speed Models from World Record Data to Estimate Limits of Human Ultra-Endurance Running Performance
Authors: Manuel Garrett , Lance Bollinger
Published: May 2024

Ultra-endurance running (>42.2km) has increased in popularity in recent years and elite finish times continue to improve. Models of Critical Speed (CS) - the highest speed which can be maintained without fatigue - are routinely developed from short training distances to predict limits of performance in endurance events such as the marathon. Purpose: To model critical speed (CS) from current world record data to estimate limits of ultra-endurance running performance in males (M) and females (F). Methods: Current world record running performances from distances between 100m and 42.2km were used to develop two models of CS. A linear regression model used slope and y-intercept to estimate CS and finite anaerobic running distance (D’), respectively. Additionally, a curvilinear relationship between average speed and running distance was developed to estimate average speed at a given running distance. Results: For F, CS was determined to be 5.26 m∙s-1 and D’ was 317.86 m. For M, CS was 5.82 m∙s-1 and D’ was 345.48 m. This model predicted average speed from current world records could be maintained for 11.5% (M, 50km) to 68.3% (F, 24h run) greater distance. The curvilinear decay relationship between average speed and running distance underestimated average speed at 42.2km for both M and F, yet predicted 1.7% (M, 50km) to 28.2% (F, 24h run) greater average speed for ultra-endurance races. Conclusions: Current world records for ultra-endurance running are likely lesser than the physiological limits of humans and the magnitude of this effect increases with greater race distance.

Impact of PVT Variations on Optimizing Silicon Power
Authors:   San Diego, USA, Proddutoori Apoorva Reddy
Published: May 2024

The scaling of CMOS technology faces challenges as the demand rises, but FinFETs emerging as a vital alternative for 22nm technology node and lower. Otherwise, FinFETs tend to have multiple PVT variations, making static timing analysis (STA) more flexible and suitable to analyze the timing delay of the logic generation. Device simulation and statistical temporal analysis are used to derive PVT variation models for FinFET-based standard cell designs. Mixing different FinFET design styles shows promise in optimizing delays and leakage, as FinFETs offer better control of short-channel effects and processing scalability. Furthermore, lowering clock skew is also a prime design aspect to consider. However, as technology scales to smaller devices, process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations make minimizing clock distortion very difficult. To mitigate the effects of PVT variations, many previous works proposed a Post Silicon Tuning (PST) architecture to dynamically balance the skew of the clock tree. In this paper, we will disclose the details of clock tree synthesis optimizations and FinFET logic developments minimizing PVT variations.

The main objective of this paper is to review Tanzania’s economic performance under the Third and Fourth Phase Governments from 1995 – 2015. Its significance is to understand and draw lessons on how reforms started earlier in mid-1980s were earnestly implemented to propel Tanzania’s economy from crisis to sustainable high growth path during the two decades. The paper analyses Tanzania’s secondary data using tabular and graphical presentation to observe performance trends of key variables. The paper also reviews various literature on Tanzania’s reform efforts to put together a narrative about economic performance over time.The findings emphasize importance of economic stabilization measures for stable macroeconomics. Fiscal and monetary policy measures must be supported by government intervention to mitigate adverse effects where external economic environment exerts its influence; for example, when oil and food prices are rising. Reform of public sector by improving public expenditure and public enterprise management to raise efficiency and reduce government budgetary costs is crucial. Privatization of public enterprises done in Tanzania was to implement this reform. Notably, market reforms increase production and productivity, which lead to overall economic growth, per capita income growth and poverty reduction as evidenced in Tanzania. Institutional building to manage and regulate market economy is important lesson from the analysis. Formation of key institutions like Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) and regulatory bodies helped the Government to perform important functions like revenue collection and economic regulation. Overall, the paper shows the importance of reforms in improving economic performace as evidenced by high GDP and per capita GDP growth and significant poverty reduction in Tanzania.

El derecho al patrimonio y a la propiedad privada son vulnerados por el desequilibrio económico que surge por circunstancias imprevistas e imprevisibles que alteran la ecuación financiera de un contrato y generan excesiva onerosidad como causas inimputables a alguna de las partes que suscriben un contrato. Este conflicto contractual se enfoca en la teoría de la imprevisión como forma de solucionar el conflicto a través de la revisión judicial en la que se requiere demostrar la causa imprevisible, la excesiva onerosidad del contrato y la inimputabilidad de las partes. Es por ello que se realizó una investigación en base a la revisión de jurisprudencia y aplicación del método exegético y sociológico a las sentencias de la Corte Suprema de Justicia y del Consejo de Estado (de la República de Colombia), con el fin de analizar los elementos básicos para que se configure la teoría de la imprevisión y se pueda aplicar la revisión judicial como mecanismo para solucionar el desequilibrio económico contractual.

ORTA DOĞU'DA ULUS-DEVLET SORUNU
Authors: Kazan Burakcan , Mazman İbrahim
Published: May 2024

Orta Doğu, geçmişten günümüze kadar dünyamızda önemli bir yere sahip olmuş bir bölgedir. Bu bölgeyi sadece yer altı zenginliğiyle anmak, bölgenin tarihine karşı büyük bir yanlış olacaktır. Aynı zamanda burası din, devlet vb. gibi alanlarda tarihin sıfır noktası olan bir bölgedir. Bölgenin her anlamda bu kadar büyük önemde olması sosyal bilimciler için büyük bir önem arz etmektedir. Bu makalede, devletin ortaya çıktığı Orta Doğu bölgesinde modern devlet anlayışı olan ulus-devletin neden bölgeyle uyum sorunu yaşadığı fikri tartışılmaktadır. Bu tartışmada ilk olarak Orta Doğu’da daha önce egemen olan güçlerin devleti yönetirken kullandıkları biçimler ele alınmış ve bu güçlerin bölge halkıyla kurduğu bağ ile beraber nasıl bir ortak zeminde buluştukları örneklerle açıklanmıştır. Aynı zamanda ulus-devlet fikrinin, Orta Doğu toplumlarıyla yaşadığı hukuksal, fikirsel, kültürel vb. gibi ayrılıkların bölgenin yönetimsel olarak istikrarsızlığa doğru götürdüğü düşüncesi anlatılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Orta Doğu toplumlarında kimlik düşüncesinde ön plana koyulan dinsel kimlik, ulus-devlet düşüncesiyle zıt oluşu çalışmada ele alınan diğer bir husustur. Bunun nedeni ümmet kimliğinin Orta Doğu toplumları için daha önem arz ettiği fikri çalışmanın ana gövdesini oluşturan önemli bir noktasıdır. Aşiretlerin ulus-devlet fikriyle rahatça hareket edememesi ve gelenekleriyle bağdaşmaması, Mezghani’nin açıklamalarıyla ele alınmış ve hukuksal bir çerçeve sunulmuştur. Özellikle milliyetçilik kavramının ön planda olduğu ulus-devlet ile aşiretlerin geleneksel olarak gelen ümmet kimliği birbirlerine zıt olduklarına dikkat çekilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Orta Doğu’daki devletlerin ulus-devlet fikriyle neden sorunlar yaşadığını, geleneksel devlet yapılarını inceleyerek günümüzdeki sorunların kaynağının anlaşılması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada bilgi toplama yöntemlerinden niteliksel araştırmanın doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucu olarak, ulus-devletin Orta Doğu’da devletler için dar bir devlet yönetme anlayışına soktuğu ve aynı zamanda bu durumun toplum tarafından benimsenmeme nedeninin hem hukuksal hem de kültürel geleneklerinden gelen nedenler olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Deyimlerde Geçen “Ye-” Eyleminin Anlam Ezgisi
Authors: Turgut Sibel
Published: May 2024

Dil, insanlar arasındaki iletişimi kolaylaştıran ve toplumsal etkileşimi düzenleyerek geliştiren temel bir araçtır. Her toplum, kendi kültürel ve coğrafi yapısına uygun olarak sahip olduğu dil yapısını şekillendirir ve bu dil, toplumun tarih boyunca deneyimlediği olaylar ve etkileşimlerle gelişir. Dilin yapısı, toplumların sosyal ve kültürel kimliklerinin bir parçasıdır ve her dilin kendine özgü bir iletişim biçimi vardır. Bu farklılıklar,bireylerin bulundukları ortamlardan, tarihsel bağlamlardan ve kültürel kökenlerinden kaynaklanır ve dilin evrimi bu faktörlerle yakından ilişkilidir. Türkçe, zengin bir dil yapısına sahip olmasıyla dikkat çeker. Bu zenginlik, Türkçenin tarih boyunca çeşitli kültürlerle etkileşime girmesi ve bu etkileşimlerin dil üzerindeki izleriyle şekillenmesiyle ortaya çıkar. Türkçe, sadece iletişim aracı olmanın ötesinde, kültürel bir mirasın ve coğrafi bir konumun ürünüdür. Dilin bu zenginliği, atasözleri ve deyimler gibi dilin derinliğini ve karmaşıklığını yansıtan unsurlarla daha da vurgulanır. Deyimler, bir toplumun kültürel değerlerini ve deneyimlerini yansıtmada önemli rol oynar ve genellikle kalıplaşmış ifadeler şeklinde kullanılır. Bu kalıplaşmış ifadeler, genellikle gerçek anlamından farklı bir anlam taşırlar ve bu da dilin zenginliğine ve esnekliğine katkıda bulunur. Bu çalışmada, ye- eylemiyle kurulan deyimler incelenmiştir. Bu deyimlerle bir araya gelen kök sözcükler genellikle olumsuz anlam özelliklerini devam ettirirken, bazı durumlarda anlam değeri olumlu ve tarafsız olan kök sözcüklerle birleşerek metin bağlamında olumsuzluğunu devam ettirmektedir. Bu durum, dilin yapısının ve esnekliğinin bir göstergesidir ve dilin kullanımı hakkında derinlemesine anlayış sağlar. Anlam değeri olumlu ve tarafsız olan kök sözcüklerin ye- eylemi ile birlikte kazandığı olumsuz anlam özelliği anlam ezgisi (semantic prosody) terimi ile genişletilerek bu konuda yapılacak çalışmalara katkı sunmak hedeflenmiştir.
