Authors:   MPA, PGD-PA University of Juba South Sudan & BPAM, Busoga University Uganda., Duop Majak Akec Malok
Published: October 2023

The study's objective is to "examine the impact of South Sudan's National Police Service (SSNPS) on security sector reforms a case study of the Ministry of Interior." An empirical inquiry was looked at, and the study was developed as a case study. The researcher used questionnaires, interviews, and observation as the main data-gathering methods. There were 80 people there in total during the research, and 60 were randomly selected as the sample size. For the purpose of this study, descriptive statistics were generated by data analysis using SPSS version 20.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The data collection process employed both secondary and primary sources. The secondary responsibility was to evaluate already published works, such as books, essays, periodicals, journals, newspapers, and websites. The main methods for gathering data were questionnaires, observations, and interviews, and secondary data was also employed. The national police force of South Sudan has reportedly been able to successfully carry out the duties outlined in the SSNP Act 2011.The National Police Service must overcome a number of significant challenges before it can implement security sector reforms at the Ministry of Interior in South Sudan, according to the report, including the lack of excitement among police officers. The study analyzed published works and data collected through questionnaires, revealing that South Sudan's national police force successfully fulfils duties under the SSNP Act 2011 due to the Ministry of Interior's security sector reforms. However, challenges like lack of officer enthusiasm remain. Since 2005, South Sudan's security sector has faced challenges due to inadequate police training programs and low professionalization. Since independence in 2011, the sector has been characterized by brutality and political instability, impacting the nation's development.

Published: October 2023

O conhecimento da precipitação de uma região é fundamental para o planejamento de qualquer atividade econômica, principalmente a agricultura. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo, analisar a variabilidade pluviométrica de 10 municípios do Piauí através da utilização do Índice de Anomalia de Chuva (IAC). Foram utilizados dados pluviométricos de um período de 21 anos (2000-2020) disponibilizados pelo INMET (Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia). Os dados foram utilizados para o cálculo do IAC e classificados como extremamente úmido, muito úmido, úmido, seco, muito seco e extremamente seco.  Para os municípios localizados na região centro norte do Estado do Piauí, há maior influência da Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT) sobre a qualidade e quantidade de chuva na região enquanto para os municípios ao sul do Estado são decorrentes das penetrações de frentes frias e/ou seus vestígios e a formação dos Vórtices Ciclônicos de Altos Níveis (VCANS). A partir do IAC identificou-se predomínio de anos secos no período de 2012 até 2016 sendo associados a El Niño-Oscilação Sul (ENOS). A utilização do IAC garante resultados mais precisos referentes ao grau de variação da chuva, podendo ser utilizado como uma ferramenta para o acompanhamento interanual da precipitação pluviométrica de regiões, no qual é possível através dele determinar mudanças em seu regime de chuvas
Zastosowanie metody bootstrapowej w analizie portfelowej
Authors: Zglińska-Pietrzak Aneta
Published: October 2023

This paper presents Markowitz’s mean-variance portfolio optymalization theory with and without bootstrap simulations. It is assumed that means and covariances of the assets returns are known and the variance with respect to a fixed expected return is minimized. It is concluded that there are significant differences between portfolios with and without bootstrap method and that the resampling data leads to asset allocations that are less risky. This methodology is applied in the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Nieliniowa identyfikacja rzędu autozależności w stopach zmian indeksów giełdowych
Authors: Orzeszko Witold
Published: October 2023

The mutual information coefficient is one of the most important generalizations of the Pearson correlation coefficient. Its advantage is that it is able to measure all kinds of dependencies, also nonlinear ones. Like the Pearson correlation coefficient, the mutual information coefficient may be applied to a single time series in order to identify serial dependencies. In this paper the log-returns of the selected Polish and foreign stock indices have been analyzed. By comparing the results obtained for the raw returns and the residuals of the fitted ARMA-GARCH models, the nature of the identified dependencies has been determined. Moreover, the bootstrap procedure has been applied to verify significance of the mutual information coefficients and, in consequence, to determine the number of lags in the analyzed series. In the most investigated indices, nonlinear dependencies different from the ARCH effect have been detected and lag = 1 was the dominant time delay in such situations.
Estymacja wariancji arytmetycznego ruchu Browna na podstawie znanych wartości minimum, maksimum, końcowej oraz dryfu
Authors: Perczak Grzegorz , Fiszeder Piotr
Published: October 2023

This paper examines the problem of calculating the variance of returns of a financial instrument which is based upon the historical opening, closing, high, and low prices. For this purpose the joint distribution of minimum, maximum and final values of arithmetic Brownian motion was used. It gave a possibility to make a comparative analysis of the variance estimators. The formulae of expected values of many random variables, which were used for the construction of these estimators were calculated. Moreover, on the basis of those formulae, the new estimator of variance was proposed. The assumptions that were adopted for the construction of the estimator were examined. The efficiency of the proposed estimator was compared with the efficiency of the well-known estimators of daily volatility.

The article presents the method for constructing synthetic vector measure which allows to determine the effect of indicators’ variability on the result of ranking. The measure is composed of an ordered pair of mean value increment and standard deviation increment. As a consequence, additional information that allows to determine how the rank of a given object might change may be gathered. An example of constructing synthetic vector measure for creating a ranking of Polish voivodships in terms of spatial uniformity based on data obtained from counties being parts of those voivodships is presented.

Published: October 2023

El análisis de heces fecales son un conjunto de pruebas usadas por el médico para evaluar patologías relacionadas con el aparato digestivo. Los resultados del análisis permiten valorar enfermedades causadas por agentes infecciosos como parásitos, bacterias y virus. Para realizar este tipo de prueba es necesario usar una muestra de heces recolectada por el paciente, por ello la recolección de la muestra debe ser realizada con los protocolos adecuados, dado que puede existir una serie de factores que alteren la calidad de la muestra al momento de su recolección, algunos de estos factores pueden estar relacionados con los materiales a usar o por la contaminación con fluidos biológicos como es la orina. Por tal motivo es recomendable instruir al paciente sobre la técnica adecuada para la recolección de muestras fecales.

A visualization of the anomeric effect from crystal structures.
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: October 2023

The anomeric effect is best known in sugars, occuring in sub-structures such as RO-C-OR. Its origins relate to how the lone pairs on each oxygen atom align with the adjacent C-O bonds. When the alignment is 180°, one oxygen lone pair can donate into the C-O σ* empty orbital and a stabilisation occurs. Here I explore whether crystal structures reflect this effect.

Published: October 2023

The oldest book in Pozega Public Library's Old and Rare book collections is Slovo o počitanii cerkve written by Vikentije Rakic and published in 1807. The significance of this book is that the main book is binded with three more manuscripts: the manuscript of Liturgija sv. Jovana Zlatoustog, Oktoih and a collection of folk recipes (so-called "lekaruša") so it made this book rare and of great importance not just for our library. The paper describes the above mentioned manuscripts binded as the oldest book in our collections and adligat.

EDUCAÇÃO LIBERTÁRIA E SOCIABILIDADE OPERÁRIA NO SINDICATO: A EXPERIÊNCIA DA UNIVERSIDADE POPULAR DE ENSINO LIVRE NO RIO DE JANEIRO (1904)
Authors: Lamela Eduardo Carracelas
Published: October 2023

Apresenta-se a experiência educativa libertária da Universidade Popular de Ensino Livre (UPEL), no âmbito do associativismo operário do Rio de Janeiro, em 1904. Tal organização foi construída para a educação popular em ação direta, de maneira autogestionária no espaço de sociabilidade do sindicato, por trabalhadores e intelectuais, alguns conhecidos anarquistas. Objetiva-se discutir os seus precedentes históricos na cidade, no que se refere à ideia de “instrução” para os operários, entre a segunda metade do século XIX e o início do XX. Nesta experiência autonomista, analisam-se ainda as interlocuções referentes ao conceito de Universidade Popular na França, para explorar as características de preparação, organização e funcionamento da UPEL no seu território, mobilizando os conceitos inter-relacionados de circularidade e de ressignificação das ideias anarquistas.

Clustering Data On Underage Marriage Using The Clustering Method
Authors: Sonadi Perangin Angin  , Rusmin Saragih  , Marto Sihombing
Published: October 2023

In Law no. 1 of 1974, article 7 paragraph (1) states that marriage is only permitted if the man has reached the age of 19 and the woman has reached the age of 16. Nationally, early marriage to the age of under 16 is 26.95%. In fact, based on the findings of Bappenas in 2008, it was stated that 34.5% of the 2,049,000 marriages in 2008 until now were child marriages which were increasing rapidly (Rifiani, 2011: 126). The influence of foreign culture is also one of the causes of the large number of underage marriages, foreign cultures which are very famous for freedom of dating, are the views of today's youth to have relations outside of legal marriage. Not only culture, information technology in the 4.0 era has greatly influenced the occurrence of underage marriages, adult video sites that are easily accessible via the internet. For this reason, the K-means clustering method is used as the right solution for the problem of underage marriage data by grouping the data based on age, gender, and occupation to get definite data, so that data grouping using the applicationmatlab andrapid miner can produce output from data mining that can be used in making decisions in the future

La actividad contractual del sector público. Una teoría general ampliada de la actividad contractual de la administración pública
Authors: González Escudero M.ª Teresa
Published: October 2023

El presente estudio de la nueva Ley de Contratos del Sector Público, no entra a analizar materias clásicas de la contratación administrativa como son los privilegios de la Administración; ni algunas de las novedades que, junto con la redefinición de los ámbitos subjetivo y objetivo son más significativas, como son la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías a la contratación pública, la incorporación de técnicas para racionalizar la contratación, o la creación de nuevos procedimientos de adjudicación. Por el contrario, en él se ha pretendido exponer la que consideramos nueva teoría general de la contratación pública reflexionando sobre la compleja base subjetiva de la que se componen las Administraciones Públicas, analizando la reordenación que de la tipología contractual hace, y estudiando cómo se asumen en estos ámbitos, el objetivo y el subjetivo, las exigencias del Derecho Comunitario, enmarcadas dentro de la pretensión de crear un espacio común para la contratación, en el que todos los actores puedan participar en igualdad de condiciones y en un régimen de transparencia y libre concurrencia.

Más allá de esto, nuestro análisis no pretende ser exhaustivo, el artículo se centra en quien es sector público y por tanto está sometido a la ley y qué parte de su contratación y en qué medida le es aplicable la misma.

Reflexiones sobre la circunscripción electoral de la Asamblea de Madrid. Inconvenientes presentes y desafíos futuros
Authors: Garrote de Marcos María
Published: October 2023

El sistema electoral que rige para la Asamblea de Madrid ha demostrado ser extraordinariamente funcional y ha permitido la representatividad de todas las fuerzas políticas relevantes, además de favorecer la gobernabilidad. Quizá por esta razón, los estudios sobre el sistema electoral madrileño no son muy abundantes y los que se han publicado suelen abordar la cuestión desde una perspectiva bastante descriptiva y pacífica.

Una de las características del sistema electoral de la Asamblea es que la circunscripción comprende todo el territorio de la Comunidad Autónoma. Este dato por sí solo no aporta nada al análisis, pero si se conjuga con otros factores, como el número de representantes o la modalidad de voto, puede plantear hoy en día algunos inconvenientes, desde el punto de vista jurídico y político. El presente trabajo ofrece una reflexión sobre las incertidumbres que la actual regulación electoral presenta y los desafíos que se pueden plantear en el futuro.

Los Servicios Jurídicos en las Cortes y en la Asamblea de Madrid.
Authors: Yáñez Díaz Carlos
Published: October 2023

Al cumplirse diez años de la promulgación de la Ley 3/1999, de 30 de marzo, de ordenación de los Servicios Jurídicos de la Comunidad de Madrid, el presente artículo pretende hacer un análisis de la situación de los servicios jurídicos de las Administraciones Públicas a partir del estudio de la tramitación parlamentaria en la Asamblea de Madrid de dicha Ley y de la Ley 52/1997, de 27 de noviembre, de asistencia jurídica al Estado e Instituciones Públicas en las Cortes Generales. En ambos casos resulta llamativo que los enfrentamientos dialécticos en los trabajos parlamentarios entre los diversos Grupos Políticos dejaron paso a un consenso habida cuenta la estrecha relación entre los servicios jurídicos y los principios constitucionales de legalidad y eficacia en la acción administrativa. No obstante en la Comunidad de Madrid el consenso únicamente se vio limitado por las discusiones en cuanto a las formas de acceso al Cuerpo de Letrados de la Comunidad de Madrid.

En cualquier caso, tras diez años de vigencia, la Ley es una de las normas autonómicas de mejor factura técnica rigiendo la actuación de los Servicios Jurídicos de la Comunidad en su actuación diaria.
El sistema de protección de menores de la Comunidad de Madrid
Authors: Martínez García Clara
Published: October 2023

El sistema de protección público de menores ha evolucionado en los últimos tiempos, especialmente tras la promulgación de la Ley Orgánica 1/1996, de 14 de enero, de Protección jurídica del Menor. Ello ha situado a las Administraciones públicas, especialmente a la autonómica, en el papel protagonista del sistema. Todas las Comunidades Autónomas han asumido competencias en relación con las instituciones de protección de menores, ámbito tradicionalmente reservado al Derecho civil de familia conforme a una concepción que prácticamente desconocía la dimensión social del menor como protagonista activo de la sociedad para situarlo en el estricto ámbito de preocupación familiar. En este trabajo se pretende analizar la legislación de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid sobre protección de menores, en el contexto normativo estatal, con especial atención a las competencias asumidas y a la organización administrativa que debe servir para su ejercicio.

Prontuario sobre la articulación en España del sistema de alerta temprana para controlar el principio de subsidiariedad dentro de la Unión Europea
Authors: Arce Janáriz Alberto
Published: October 2023

Tras la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Lisboa, las Cortes Generales, previa modificación de la Ley reguladora de la Comisión Mixta para la Unión Europea, han puesto en marcha en España el llamado sistema de alerta temprana previsto en el Protocolo sobre la aplicación de los principios de subsidiariedad y proporcionalidad, que habilita a los Parlamentos nacionales para dictaminar acerca de la observancia de la subsidiariedad en los proyectos de actos legislativos europeos y les permite consultar, a su vez, a las Asambleas regionales dotadas de poderes legislativos, como es el caso de los Parlamentos autonómicos de nuestro país. Este artículo examina las claves del novedoso sistema, mostrando sus aciertos, entre los que destaca la cadena parlamentaria de legitimación democrática que ha venido a establecer, así como sus limitaciones, de las que no es menor la premura con la que debe sustanciarse, y repasa igualmente los principales aspectos de la regulación española, incluidas las normas complementarias que van estableciéndose en los Parlamentos de las Comunidades Autónomas, todo ello presentado como una suerte de prontuario o vademécum, que prima la utilidad práctica sobre la pretensión teórica.

Published: October 2023

Pulses are of paramount importance in Indian agriculture next to cereals and oilseeds in terms of acreage, production and economic value. Pulses are important sources of protein in a vegetarian diet, especially in India, where a large part of population is vegetarian and protein malnutrition is rampant and has not yet received adequate attention for micronutrient fertilization. To reduce the demand and supply gap, government of India launched various programs in pulses. Still, prime attention is required to meet the food security challenges, especially in case of pulse sector. In order to increase the pulse productivity while sustaining at high levels, greater attention on nutrient managements including micronutrients are among the promising technologies in pulse production. Among those micronutrients, zinc (zn) and molybdenum (Mo) are of major concerns. Mo acts as a cofactor for the enzymes namely nitrogenase and nitrate reductase, which take lead roles in bio-logical fixation and subsequent assimilation of nitrogen in legumes. Thus, Mo plays an important role in metabolism and biosynthesis of nitrogen into protein. Besides this, it facilitates the various physiological and biochemical process in pulses. Application of Mo enhances the bioavailability of other essential nutrients to crops. Plants subjected to zinc deficiency display alterations in the activity of many enzymes and decreased protein synthesis. Foliar spray of nutrient fertilizers at the critical stages of rainfed condition, application of micronutrients and secondary nutrients has been great focus in boosting up pulses productivity in India.

The present study characterizes twenty-one rhizobacterial strains isolated from root nodules of Vigna trilobata cultivars collected from various Andhra Pradesh, India districts. Rhizobacteria was isolated using selective medium Yeast Extract Mannitol Agar medium (Y.E.M.A.). All 21 strains were characterized based on colony morphology and biochemical characterization and identified up to species level by 16S rDNA sequencing analysis. Different genera of the bacteria are present in the root nodules of Vigna trilobata. Short random sequence primers amplify genomic D.N.A. in a process called random amplified polymorphic D.N.A. (R.A.P.D.), which were employed to assess genetic variation across isolated bacterial strains. Banding patterns were obtained via R.A.P.D. analysis of genomic D.N.A. from the isolates using five random primers, including OPA-4, OPA-9, OPA-11, OPA-12, and OPA-15. The R.A.P.D. profiles of twenty-one rhizobacterial isolates were compared separately to determine their differences by the occurrence of polymorphic D.N.A. fragments. PCR amplified of the D.N.A. isolated from twenty-one bacterial isolates yielded seventy amplified products, of which sixty-eight were polymorphic, and two were monomorphic. The investigation found that R.A.P.D. could differentiate between the strains very precisely. Characterizing and creating novel Rhizobium species can be aided by using molecular markers to investigate genetic diversity.

The experimental material comprising of 26 genotypes belonging to mid late and late group was evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications for two consecutive years during winter season of 2018-19 and 2019-20. Data were recorded on marketable curd yield per hectare and its 17 related traits. Sufficient genetic variability was observed for yield and component traits. The perusal of mean values of different genotypes showed wide variation in the performance with respect to marketable curd yield and its contributing traits. This indicates great extent of genetic diversity among genotypes which would provide immense opportunities for genetic improvement of cauliflower. The evaluation of mean performance revealed that DPCa CMS 1 showed advantage of 27% for marketable curd yield over standard check Palam Uphar followed by DPCaf W3, DPCaf US and DPCaf 30 which was mainly due to significant contribution of curd depth, curd diameter, leaf length, leaf width, optimum plant frame, curd compactness/solidity, gross and net plant weight.

One of the major concerns during storage, distribution and retail display of meat and meat products is the minimum temperature for the growth of a microorganism. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chilling period on oganoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of broiler chicken meat. A total number of 24 chickens with average weights of between 1.5-2 kg were used for the study. The birds were slaughtered and randomly assigned into four treatments which were replicated thrice with two chickens per replicate. Treatment 1 represented chilling immediately after slaughter (control), treatment 2 represented delay for 2 hours before chilling, treatment 3were delayed for 4 hours before chilling, and treatment 4 were delayed for 6 hours before chilling. Data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance. Treatment group chilled at 0hr had significantly higher (P<0.05) crude protein composition of 48.59% compared to the other treatment groups(2 hrs, 4 hrs, and 6 hrs chilling interval) which had 45.94, 44.33 and 44.98% respectively. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in texture, flavor, aroma, general acceptability, pH, cooking loss and cooking yield across the treatments. The 0-hour chilled group was significantly (p<0.05) higher in terms of flavor, aroma and general acceptability and had significant (P<0.05) least cooking loss. It was therefore concluded that chicken meat should be chilled immediately after slaughter to prevent loss of value during cooking.
