Retention of reliability, ease of use for physically disabled drivers and maintainability are of primary concern. As an Information Report, the numerical values for performance measurements presented in this report and in the test procedure in the appendices, while based upon the best knowledge available at the time, have not been validated.
On lustful deities and the ontological turn in the archaeology of ancient Egypt
Authors: Matić Uroš
Published: February 2024

Building on the ongoing debates surrounding the archaeological application of New Materialism, posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology, and the anthropological ontological turn, this paper examines sexual interactions between deities and humans, as well as among deities represented as statues in ancient Egypt. Acknowledging the existence of such sexual encounters and providing detailed descriptions of the involved entities alone does not fully recognize the underlying gender and class structures. This paper argues that these analysed sexual encounters were shaped by gender and class-based power asymmetries, revealing that the ancient Egyptians and contemporary perspectives are not as distinct as they might seem.

Historical archaeology at the interstices between archaeology and history
Authors: Predovnik Katarina
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the relationship between the disciplines of archaeology and history through the lens of historical archaeology. This is not a unified subdiscipline and has indeed been defined in various ways. Here, the term will be used as a shorthand for (later) medieval, post-medieval and contemporary archaeologies.

Historical archaeology is first and foremost archaeology focusing on material remains and producing knowledge claims about the past (history) from things. But it can complement and confront the data gleaned from the material sources with other types of evidence (textual, pictorial, oral), so it is an archaeology with texts. This represents a methodological and epistemological challenge. An uncritical reliance on textual information over the material has often been warned against as “the tyranny of the historical record”.

Many (historical) archaeologists have been inspired by various historiographical concepts and approaches, such as cultural history, the Annales school of social and economic history, Braudel’s concept of the longue-durée, the history of the everyday (Alltagsgeschichte), and microhistory. Conversely, the knowledge produced by archaeologists tends to be disregarded by most historians. This is unfortunate, as the material evidence offers important insights into past lifeworlds and should not be ignored.
La pena y la cura. Servicios de salud mental en Italia después del cierre de los hospitales psiquiátricos judiciales
Authors: Mezzina Roberto
Published: February 2024

Resumen: El artículo describe el proceso de reforma que tuvo lugar en Italia con el cierre de los seis hospitales psiquiátricos judiciales del país y su sustitución por pequeñas unidades forenses. El uso de los hospitales judiciales se regía por la exclusión de los juicios de las personas con enfermedades mentales graves que dificultaban el ejercicio de su capacidad, las cuales, si eran declaradas "socialmente peligrosas", eran sometidas a un sistema de "medidas de seguridad". Este cambio significativo, que se llevó a cabo a través de los Ministerios de Salud y de Justicia, y de las Regiones, ocurrió en Italia entre 2011 y 2017, y se entiende como el paso final del proceso de reforma en la atención de la salud mental que comenzó en 1978 y culminó con el cierre completo de todos los hospitales psiquiátricos en 1999. Las nuevas pequeñas unidades forenses/judiciales, con un número limitado de camas para todo el país, se denominan REMS (Residencias para la Ejecución de Medidas de Seguridad). Están gestionadas por las Regiones y se basan en los principios de orientación terapéutica y de recuperación, respuesta transitoria y territorial, y responsabilidad de los servicios de salud mental de la comunidad para facilitar el alta. Las formas de aplicación de la ley en lo que respecta a las características de las REMS fueron diversas, por ejemplo, gestión pública o privada, número de camas, política de puertas abiertas, inclusión en los departamentos de salud mental con fines de prevención y provisión de alternativas por parte de los servicios comunitarios de salud mental. Experiencias significativas, como la de Trieste y la región de Friuli Venezia Giulia, interpretan esta reforma en función del papel que desempeñan los servicios públicos de salud mental en la prevención de delitos mediante una respuesta rápida y eficaz a las crisis, estableciendo vías de atención personalizadas y apoyando a sus pacientes dentro de la prisión y en el sistema judicial. Todavía existe un difícil equilibrio con el sistema judicial y penitenciario, que a menudo hace hincapié en el confinamiento y la función "de custodia" en las REMS como novedoso sustituto de los antiguos hospitales judiciales y ejerce una presión constante para ampliar el uso y la disponibilidad de sus camas en cuanto a las medidas de seguridad temporales, incluido el desvío de personas de las prisiones a las REMS. El riesgo de una reacción contra la reforma ha sido frenado recientemente por la Corte Constitucional, pero persiste un duro debate sobre el futuro de las REMS. Los cambios más radicales y coherentes, según los instrumentos internacionales para la protección de los derechos humanos, solo pueden realizarse con nuevos cambios legislativos, abandonando los conceptos de incapacidad y peligrosidad, que siguen siendo pilares del Código Penal. El artículo ofrece datos generales recientes, prácticas pioneras, observaciones críticas y termina con indicaciones para el cambio en las políticas y las prácticas.

Organizational Factors And Safety Culture Maturity Among Seafarers: Towards Maritime Safety
Authors: Ng Kin Liang
Published: February 2024

The quality of seafarers accessible to shipowners is the main problem for the maritime industry in terms of loss prevention. Any shipping company's safety and effectiveness depend on competent officers and the key component of safety performance is safety culture. Due to market pressures, there are times when seafarers are hired who may lack the expertise, experience, or attitude necessary to adopt business preferences, alter their conduct, or make wise decisions. However, the evolution of safety culture maturity among seafarers or the interrelation between the safety culture maturity level antecedents has only been exposed to a limited number of studies. The region seafarers responded to 286 usable Microsoft Forms questionnaires. Using reliability, explanatory factor, normality, correlation, regression analysis, and descriptive statistics in SPSS version 23, the data was quantified using a 5 points Likert scale. The analysis attested the region’s seafarers are at a "calculative" maturity level. Information, organizational learning, communication, commitment, and involvement were the organizational factors directly influencing the safety culture maturity. This study, one-of-a-kind in the region hopefully could put up some facts and figures in the context of seafarers’ level of safety culture maturity.
AMMONIUM CONCENTRATIONS INDUCED CHANGES IN THE ASCORBIC ACID, CAROTENOID, PHENOLIC AND FLAVONOID CONTENT IN THE CULTURES OF Aglaonema simplex, AN AQUATIC PLANT

Published: February 2024

Ammonium is one source of nitrogen for plants. In higher concentrations, ammonium causes toxicity to plants. The present study examined the effects of ammonium concentrations (0 to 45.0 mM) on biomass, α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, chlorophyll, carotenoid, phenolic, flavonoid, and flavones levels in the aquatic plant, Aglaonema simplex culture. Results showed that ammonium concentration induced changes in the biomass and measured biochemicals in the plant.  Ammonium at 36.0 mM produced the highest biomass (1.5-fold of dry weight), ascorbic acid (1.2-fold), and total phenolic (1.3-fold) after 28 days of treatment. Carotenoid, chlorophyll, and flavonoid content varied among the ammonium concentrations and depend on the culture period. Ammonium concentrations did not significantly influence (p > 0.05) the α-tocopherol content in the treated plants. The finding suggested that ascorbic acid and phenolic might act as shields to diminish the ammonium toxicity effect and can be induced by an appropriate ammonium concentration applied into the culture medium.

Increased number of requests for PV power plants connection to the transmission system has led to the need for a new approach during optimal connection point determination. The new approach is caused by the time inconsistency of the PV power plant production hours with the hours used for the conventional modeling of typical scenarios used for the optimal connection point determination for other types of power plants. Also, PV power plants, in comparison with e.g. wind farms, have easier and faster contruction process and, consequently, faster connection process. New Energy Law and Grid Code for Connection will give an opportunity for Clients to choose between the connection with full possibility of energy acommodation and less expensive but connection with certain limitations. Quasidynamic calculation that has been made using DIgSILENT Programming Language and grid model using DIgSILENT PowerFactory completely eliminates the time inconsistency and offers a possibility for calculation of indicators for much better PV power plant connection point determination.

The numerous uncertainties placed before the system planning engineers led to the approach by which the system problems can no longer be resolved solely by the large and expensive projects. As the alternative, new technologies intended for the increase of system flexibility in real-time have emerged. One of the most promising such innovations is the Smart Valve device, designed for controlling the load flow through the lines. Hence, its installation can cause the mitigation of the congestions, the enhancement of the renewable energy sources integration, the simplification of the industrial loads’ connection or the delay of the projects envisaged for those purposes. To confirm this, the paper provides the examples of the practical applications of the device, followed by the analysis of the possibilities of its engagements in the 400 kV and 110 kV grids of Serbia and the impact that those may have on the system’s efficiency and reliability.

In this paper actual problem of power system resilience that has attracted significantscientific and practical attention in the last decade, due to the sizable increase of numbers of low probability but high-risk events that impacted power systems, is presented and reviewed. The research and practical implementation activities in this field performed in the world were predominantlyfocused on system development planning and investment in power grid infrastructure, while resilience operational and control aspects were addressed with less frequency and attention. In this paper, some problems related to new terms and complex relations with reliability-resilence-security notions are identified, together with numerous existing definitions of the term power system resilience. A short review of the existing system resilience methodological frameworks and performance metrics is also presented. Based on previous analysis, sound basic resilience concepts (including frameworks) which should be used in sequel work on this important topic, are proposed in the paper. In the end, as an illustration of the practical use of the proposed concepts and methodologies, some use cases from the world practice are given.

This paper describes the experiences from the commissioning of the IMP VIEW4 SCADA / EMS system in the Regional Dispatch Center (RDC) Belgrade, and the emphasis is placed on the commissioning of network applications that are part of the EMS subsystem. The system configuration intended for RDC includes the following network applications: Network Topology Processor (NTP), State Estimator (SE), Bus Load Forecast (BLF), and Dispatcher Power Flow (DPF). This is the second implementation of the system in RDCs. The first implementation was performed in RDC Novi Sad, and it is planned to implement the system in the remaining RDCs (Bor, Krusevac and Valjevo). The main motive for the introduction of the new SCADA/EMS system is to provide functionality, both dynamic coloring of the elements of the power system on displays, and security analysis that did not exist in previous SCADA systems in RDCs. During the implementation of the new system in RDC Belgrade, the SCADA source database was migrated from the existing IMP VIEW2 SCADA system, which accelerated the network modeling process and significantly reduced the possibilities for error entry compared to manual input. As this database contains only topological parameters of the connection of power system elements, but not energy parameters that are necessary for the operation of network applications, a tool for importing these parameters from the application database (ABP) of the existing IMP VIEW4 SCADA / EMS system in the National dispatch center (NDC) to the appropriate ABP of the new system was developed. Using the functionality of pre-estimation analysis, which is part of the NTP, errors were identified in the model. After the elimination of these errors SE and DPF were successfully put into operation. At the moment, network applications can be used in RDC Belgrade in the study mode, and the commissioning of the SE in real time is in progress.

This paper presents remote control and data acquisition prototype device which is specially designed for electrical water heaters. The prototype is equipped with the temperature, current, voltage and frequency transducers, but also with a power relay. Hence, it can not only measure but also control the on/off state of the device. Starting from a hierarchical organization of Internet of Things organization (IoT), position of a smart electrical water heater is recognized on the basic edge level. SCADA systems used for control and acquisition of corresponding parameters represent the next control level (fog). Applications used for automatic calculation and data analysis are located in the cloud. After description of the prototype device and experimental results, statistical analysis is performed aiming to explore the power consumption of the heater and the available up and down energy and power reserve. On the basis of the statistical analysis results, aggregated model of multiple electrical heaters is presented which can be used for the power system dynamic analysis. This model is later used for the simulation of the regular and hybrid automatic generation (and load) control (AGC) and the beneficial influence of the controllable distributed load is highlighted.

The dynamic model of a synchronous generator (SG) can be represented by a set of differential equations that describe the dynamics of electrical and mechanical subsystems of the machine. Such models are implemented and available in libraries of software tools for power systems’ dynamic processes modeling. However, the parameterization of these models requires a substantial set of machine parameters that is often not available. Verification of the model of automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is done based on results obtained through tests performed on SG at idle, by recording the response of the machine to a step change of stator voltage reference. The specific operating mode allows for reduction of complexity of SG model, and allows SG to be modeled with a first-order transfer function. Although simple, this model is very suitable for determination of AVR parameters. The small complexity of the proposed model lands itself suitable for efficient application of optimization algorithms in order to determine unknown parameters of the AVR transfer function. The paper will show the method for determination of parameters of the first order non-linear SG model, based on the SG’s measured response at open circuit test. The paper will also present the use of the proposed SG model for AVR parameterization.

Published: February 2024

"Diante das efervescências históricas, culturais, sociais e políticas que se desdobram no Ser e Fazer a Educação, cada vez mais, fazem-se necessárias as reflexões sobre Gênero, Sexualidade e Educação. Para a educadora Guacira Lopes Louro, tal discussão perpassa o entendimento da instituição Escola de modo que não se pode concebê-la “sem que se lance mão das reflexões sobre as construções sociais e culturais do masculino e do feminino” (LOURO, 1997, p. 89) e de seus desdobramentos. Nesse sentido, o CONEDU 2023 nos convida a entrar em um profundo diálogo sobre a Educação para a sociedade. Os escritos aqui reunidos são construídos não apenas pelo prisma acadêmico e teórico [embora o sejam fortemente], mas trazem, principalmente, as interseções complexas das práticas socioculturais e educacionais do mundo contemporâneo, sobretudo no entrelaçamento entre as temáticas de gênero e da sexualidade no âmbito educacional. Nos trinta e um (31) artigos apresentados nas páginas a seguir estão dispostas compreensões e críticas de diferentes protagonistas e de distintas realidades, desde a Educação Infantil até a Educação de Nível Superior, os quais trazem contribuições significativas para uma compreensão mais ampla e plural que possibilitam uma ressignificação dos processos formativos [educacionais, sociais, políticos, …] trans/multiculturais. Jogos, romances, contos, livros, escritores, métodos e práticas escolares são apreciados sob novas lentes, a fim de pormenorizar os mecanismos que perpetuam a promoção de ações de desigualdades histórico-culturais e, consequentemente, que evocam a adoção de posturas mais acertadas, que promovam a melhoria da qualidade vida individual e, também, coletiva. À vista disso, é imperativo que todos os membros das comunidades escolares, com especial atenção voltada aos educadores, direcionem seus olhares para os diálogos plurais em curso, explorando as nuances e as inquietações que permeiam as temáticas pesquisadas e que dão corpo a este E-book. Ao fazê-lo, lembre-se dos achados tão atuais como contundentes de César (2009): é urgente a formação [docente] específica sob a ótica da diversidade."

Este capítulo objetiva apresentar os resultados de um estudo pautado em revisão bibliográfica sobre a estratégia estética da utopia empreendida na dramaturgia da Lourdes Ramalho, com ênfase no repertório destinado ao público infanto-juvenil produzido a partir dos anos 2000. Postulações teóricas à luz dos estudos críticos sobre a utopia discutidas por Andrade (2020), Ayala (1997) e Pavis (2015) ajudam a conceber que os utopismos ramalhianos formalizados em seus textos teatrais apontam para uma problematização sobre as identidades de gênero feminino e masculino em contextos de desigualdade em sociedades distópicas regidas por valores patriarcais extremos. O texto teatral Anjos de Caramelada (RAMALHO, 2008), aqui discutido, suscita uma crítica aos papéis de autoridade distribuídos de maneira desigual entre mulheres e homens, dado que o mundo em que as mulheres são subordinadas é convertido num outro, ideal, em que as mulheres são figuras soberanas sobre os homens. Esse texto teatral nos leva a refletir sobre as relações de gênero na contemporaneidade, eixo a partir do qual Lourdes Ramalho põe no papel e às luzes da ribalta enredos críticos e criativos que nos levam sonhar com o devir utópico da equidade de gênero nesses tempos distópicos, particularmente para as mulheres.

This article is conducting research based on the analogy by the Apostle Paul mentioned in 2 Timothy 2:1-13. In the text, Paul makes an analogy of Christian workers in three analogies. This analogy has something to do with the teacher’s professionalism. Therefore the research being done here is divided into two parts, namely the analogy of Christian workers in 2 Timothy 2:1-13 and the second part the implications for the professionalism of Sunday school teachers. The research approach being used includes exegesis research through utilizing Biblical hermeneutic principles and also through utilizing an analysis of implications. The hermeneutic process of the Bible is carried out by analyzing the context and meaning that is found in the text of 2 Timothy 2:1-13. We have used several relevant sources such as books on Bible commentaries and various research reports both in journals and repositories. The implication analysis was carried out after completing the exegesis of 2 Timothy 2:1-13. We have examined the various phenomena that are related to the professionalism of Sunday school teachers and find their correlation to the results of the exegesis already conducted beforehand. The results of the study show that Christian workers by way of analogy in comparison to soldiers, sportsmen, and farmers. The first is the soldier analogy. The soldier analogy explains that the Christian worker is ready to fight on the battlefield to defend his faith in Christ. The second analogy is the sportsman analogy. The sportsman's analogy explains that Christian workers must prepare himself or herself before the competition. In the analogy of sportsmen, Christian workers must be consistent, enterprising, and ready to finish the matches with an enthusiastic spirit. The third analogy is the farmer's analogy. The farmer's analogy explains that Christian workers must be ready to plant the seed of God's Word in everyone's heart. In the farmer's analogy, Christian workers must also be patient and diligent in caring for the seeds of the world that are planted so that these seeds may produce fruit.

Background: Access to electricity in rural areas is critical for beneficiary households, local communities, and the economy as a whole. Indeed, access to electricity is one of the factors that will determine the realization of Kenya’s Vision 2030. In view of this, the Kenyan government has over the years, through regulatory bodies such as the Rural Electrification Authority, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority, and Kenya Electric Power, implemented various institutional and service delivery reforms to accelerate electricity adoption in rural areas. Objective: The study investigated the effect of service delivery reforms on access to electricity in rural Kenya. Methodology: The materials used in this study was part of the larger study that was looking at the effect of regulatory reforms in the electricity subsector on access to electricity in rural Kenya. In this paper, we present data generated from the quantitative component of the study that comprised 384 rural households in Kakamega, Uasin Gishu and Nyandarua counties. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by both descriptive and regression techniques. Findings: The study found that service delivery reforms notably; Stima Loans and Umeme Pamoja schemes as alternative ways of financing access to electricity, have no statistically significant association with access to electricity in the study areas. The results further indicate that most households (69.6%) do not have knowledge about these service delivery reforms. Conclusion: We have highlighted that most rural residents in the surveyed counties do not know of existing alternative ways to finance their access to electricity. Therefore, we suggest an increase in the awareness of rural residents about the existence and availability of these financing schemes to finance accelerate rural electrification in Kenya.
Determinants of Cash Waqf Donation to Support Islamic Schools in Thailand
Authors: Hassama Aris , Ismail Nor Asmat
Published: February 2024

This study explores the evolving landscape of waqf donations in Thailand, specifically their transition towards supporting educational initiatives. Focusing on cash waqf for establishing Islamic schools, it examines the socio-economic and motivational drivers behind donation decisions. Using the Contingent Valuation Method and regression analysis, data from 404 donors in Thailand’s southern provinces was examined. The findings highlight that lower-income individuals within the Thai Muslim community tend to donate less to cash waqf, contrasting with their higher-earning counterparts. Similarly, those with lower debt burdens show a greater inclination to donate. Experience in waqf activities positively correlates with the willingness to donate. Notably, religiosity emerges as the primary motivational factor encouraging donations. This research underscores the significance of economic status, debt, experience, and religious devotion in influencing donation behavior. Recommendations emphasise targeting financially stable, experienced individuals and leveraging religious significance in fundraising efforts for Islamic education.

Given the high contagiousness and rapid spread of the rinderpest virus, timely and accurate diagnosis plays a key role in preventing epidemics and taking measures to control the disease. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of using multiplex primers in the polymerase chain reaction method for the detection of rinderpest virus ribonucleic acid. The study included the analysis of samples such as blood serum and conjunctival swabs from 50 animals with clinical manifestations of the disease. The experiment involved the collection of clinical samples such as blood serum and conjunctival washings. The results demonstrate the high specificity of the developed primers. These primers stand out because they use two pairs of the same gene region with different variable sequences that are specific for all strains of the rinderpest virus. In the polymerase chain reaction, both pairs of primers are used simultaneously at equal concentrations and under the same conditions. An additional polymerase chain reaction performed using these primers at the optimal annealing temperature confirmed the successful amplification and specificity of the primers. The absence of dimers and nonspecific products in the negative control confirmed the purity and reliability of the results. Thus, these results demonstrate that the use of these multiplex polymerase chain reaction primers allows for the efficient detection of the ribonucleic acid of the rinderpest virus of different strains. The developed multiplex primers represent an innovative method for the diagnosis of rinderpest virus with the potential for use in veterinary practice and animal disease control
