Authors: Aswani Aswani , Pimpi La , Dwiyanto M. Riski Imam
Published: August 2024

The importance of information about the weather, especially information about rainfall that is more precise is needed so that research is needed to estimate and predict the occurrence of rain. There have been many studies reporting how to identify rainfall forecasts, but they still have limitations, especially in identifying rainfall in detail in each province in Indonesia. In this study, forecasting rainfall in Kendari City was carried out using two different time series methods, namely the trend method and the exponential smoothing method. The use of these two different methods was carried out with the aim of comparing the accuracy of the two models in predicting time series data, especially rainfall data in Kendari City. This research was conducted from January 2023 to June 2023, using rainfall data from Kendari City. In this study, the following conclusions were obtained: 1) the volume of monthly rainfall in Kendari City fluctuated, which spread in the range of 0 – 578.60 mm with an average of 228.26 mm per month, where on average the highest rainfall occurred in June and the lowest rainfall occurred in October; 2) the Trend method, whether it's Linear Trend, Quadratic Trend or Exponential Growth Trend, is not appropriate for estimating and forecasting Kendari City's monthly rainfall because the resulting estimate has quite high residuals with a relatively low level of accuracy; 3) the Winter's Exponential Smoothing method is quite good for estimating and forecasting Kendari City's monthly rainfall because the resulting estimate has quite low residuals, with a relatively high degree of accuracy; and 4) based on the RMSE, MAE and BIC criteria, it shows that the Winter's Exponential Smoothing model with an alpha (level) parameter value of 0.85, a gamma (trend) of 0.05 and a delta (seasonal) of 0.001 provides a better level of estimation and forecasting accuracy when compared to the Trend model, both Linear Trend and Quadratic Trend.

Mining activities are closely related to society and the environment because every mining business must maintain the continuity of the carrying capacity and capacity of the environment. Environmental supervisory officials are obliged to supervise compliance with the person responsible for business and/or activities carried out based on statutory regulations in the field of environmental protection and management. This research aims to determine the authority of environmental supervisory officials in enforcing environmental law in the mining sector. This research uses normative research methods with a statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. Apart from that, empirical research methods are also used so that we can get results regarding the authority of environmental supervisory officials in enforcing laws in the mining sector. The process of enforcing environmental law in the mining sector must be implemented from the stage of the process of fulfilling environmental permits and AMDAL studies, then planning, implementation and supervision, both at the exploration, production and post-mining stages. Enforcement of environmental law carried out by environmental supervisory officials in the mining sector signals to business actors to address the recovery of the social and economic environment as a result of a mining business activity located in the local government area. Environmental supervisory officials in law enforcement in the mining sector must carry out their duties and obligations in accordance with applicable laws.

Mining activities that are increasingly uncontrolled have various impacts on the community and life around the mine, including; Environmental damage, high levels of pollution (soil, water and air), also cause disruption to the wider community in the form of damage to houses and public facilities. This research aims to determine the form of legal protection for communities in mining areas who suffer losses related to mining activities, as well as to determine dispute resolution in the form of demands for compensation from communities around mining locations. The research method uses normative research methods with a statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. Apart from that, empirical research is also used to see the reality that occurs in the field. The results of the research show that the legal implications regarding the protection of communities in mining areas in environmental management are problematic in their resolution due to the government's indifference and also regarding the compensation provided by mining business actors. The responsibility for restoring mining land is the responsibility of business actors as an obligation to restore the social and economic environment as a result of the impact of mining activities on communities in mining areas.

Conforme as novas regras da IMO (Organização Marítima Internacional), os navios construídos antes de 2017, definidos como navios existentes segundo a Marpol anexo 6, devem cumprir o EEXI (Índice de Eficiência Energética de Navios Existentes). Cumprir esse índice é um desafio para todos os armadores e os navios que não atendem à EEXI e por isso precisam aplicar melhorias no sistema de maquinário. A questão é como identificar, em meio a tanta tecnologia oferecida atualmente, qual a tecnologia que trará maior retorno, em questões de consumo e consequentemente emissões, a embarcação. Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia desenvolvida através da aplicação de análise de Energética e Exergética do motor principal de um navio para identificar as principais ineficiências e avaliar o potencial de recuperação de calor residual e melhoria da eficiência do motor. Esta metodologia foi aplicada a um navio petroleiro, que não cumpria o indicador EEXI. A metodologia aplicada ao navio permitiu identificar as tecnologias ideais para a embarcação chegar à EEXI.
Aplicação de acessibilidade visual e auditiva a aplicativos móveis de sumarização (Mobile Summarizer e News Summary Navigator)
Authors: Vinezof João Vitor de Amorim , Cabral Luciano de Souza
Published: August 2024

Este artigo aborda uma pesquisa exploratória, focando na avaliação prática dos aplicativos Mobile Summarizer e News Summary Navigator, ambos voltados para a sumarização textual. O objetivo central foi identificar melhorias que poderiam aumentar a usabilidade, acessibilidade e a diversidade de fontes textuais dessas aplicações. Após a análise, foram identificados pontos fortes e fracos de cada aplicativo. Dentre os fortes, o Mobile Summarizer destacou-se por permitir o acesso a todas as opções de tela com o polegar (dependendo do tamanho do smartphone), funcionar completamente off-line e colar automaticamente o texto a ser sumarizado ao iniciar o aplicativo. Por outro lado, carece de uma opção para upload de arquivos e documentos textuais. O News Summary Navigator é completamente online e busca notícias de grandes portais, o que pode ser uma desvantagem em caso de alterações nos feeds desses portais. Entre as sugestões de melhorias estão a integração de funcionalidades como o auxílio a deficientes visuais via texto-áudio (Text-to-Speech) e a inclusão de redes sociais e blogs, o que ampliaria o alcance e a eficiência das aplicações. Implementações parciais, como a leitura por voz do sumário e a tradução para LIBRAS utilizando a biblioteca VLIBRAS, foram bem-sucedidas, embora não tenham sido integradas às aplicações devido a limitações de tempo.

A violência sexual é uma forma de agressão que utiliza a sexualidade sem o consentimento da vítima, sendo baseada em desigualdades de gênero, geracionais e étnico-raciais e em relações hierárquicas, que pode ocorrer em qualquer faixa etária, independentemente de cor, gênero, religião ou condição social. A partir da análise de dados secundários no período de 2018 a 2022, objetivou-se identificar o perfil epidemiológico das vítimas desse tipo de violência no estado do Paraná e destacar fatores causadores dessa problemática. Para isso, a pesquisa descreveu casos notificados pelo SINAN, disponibilizados pelo DATASUS, utilizando abordagem quali-quantitativa e base documental. No Paraná, foram registrados 19.743 casos durante esse período. Os dados revelaram maior prevalência entre pessoas de 10 a 14 anos, do sexo feminino e de raça branca. A maioria dos casos ocorreram em ambiente residencial e os prováveis agressores eram predominantemente amigos ou conhecidos das vítimas. Houve uma crescente gradual na incidência dos casos de violência sexual no recorte temporal analisado, o que reforça a necessidade de aplicação de políticas públicas para prevenção e combate desse tipo de violência, evitando que esse problema de saúde pública se perpetue com tamanha gravidade.

Precarious careers: A longitudinal study with contemporary visual artists from emerging to established career stages
Authors:   Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Emma Duester
Published: August 2024

This paper explores the nature of artists’ careers over eight years. It investigates artists’ career paths including developments, highlights, challenges, and stasis over eight years. This is a longitudinal study that comprises two sets of interviews conducted with the same fifteen artists in 2013 and 2021. It analyses artists’ reflections on their careers as emerging artists in 2013 and as established artists in 2021. It exposes how these artists’ experience changes and shifts along their career paths, yet, how the one continuity throughout their careers is precarity. Together, this longitudinal study uncovers new knowledge on the nature of artists’ careers by exposing how precarity is experienced over the course of their careers. This also develops existing discourse on precarious work and labour. Together, this expands understandings on ‘precarity’ in the creative industries by showing how it is experienced in artists’ careers as something that is tangible and mental, how it is experienced across their careers, and how strategies are found to cope with this precarious career. Addressing this can shed new light on the nature of artists’ careers and the nature of work in the creative industries today.

Published: August 2024

As is the case with any economic activity, the challenge of guaranteeing the economic and financial sustainability of the newspaper industry is recurrent, and the challenge is redoubled in periods of industry transformation, as has occurred in the media business, where there are various levels of disruption, particularly in terms of the financing model (insufficient traditional sources of revenue: reader revenue and advertiser revenue) and forms of product access and distribution (insufficient physical support and newsstands). The migration to digital media necessarily implies new management strategies and practices in order to optimize costs and diversify the revenues that can be earned by newspaper companies. In this context, this article examines the recent evolution of the financial profitability of the newspaper publishers in Portugal. Financial profitability depends on both the economic profitability and the financial structure (i.e., leverage) of companies. Newspaper companies accumulated very high levels of debt because of the sector crisis. The financial analysis in this article reveals that almost a half of newspaper publishers benefited from positive leverage effects, recording higher financial profitability than economic profitability. Companies that benefited from positive leverage effects were the more leveraged. High leverage was positive for those newspaper companies that made investments whose returns offset their debt costs.

Authors: Daryono Lutfian Rusdi , Abe Tomohiko , Kano Masanao , Nakashima Kazunori , Kawasaki Satoru
Published: August 2024

Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, a method for soil enhancement, has recently garnered considerable attention within geotechnical communities. This study places a significant focus on addressing the paramount concern pertaining to the endurance of MICP-treated specimens. The research centers on MICP-treated samples fortified with plant-derived natural fibers, specifically jute. It evaluates their robustness when subjected to exposure to both distilled water (DW) and artificial seawater (ASW). The primary objectives encompass acquiring a comprehensive understanding of their prolonged performance under varied conditions, appraising the consequences of fiber reinforcement, and augmenting the suitability of MICP-treated samples for applications in the safeguarding of coastal regions against erosion. The investigation subjected these specimens to 12 wetting-drying cycles utilizing artificial seawater following treatment periods of 5 days, 7 days, and 14 days. The findings unveiled an approximate 8.5% diminution in sample mass, with the fibers constituting 2% of the sand's total weight. Moreover, the study underscores the adeptness of the integrated fiber in withstanding the wetting-drying (WD) cyclic process, amplifying the mechanical and physical attributes of the fiber-reinforced MICP-treated specimens, thus contributing significantly to their overall durability.
Seismic Safety Evaluation of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall for Highway Construction
Authors: Rizali Muhammad Adi Ibrahim , Yusep Muslih Purwana
Published: August 2024

The usage of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls has grown in popularity over the last few decades and has been widely used in many countries for highway construction, including Indonesia. As a country with a high risk against seismic hazards, a considerable stability analysis against earthquakes for construction must be conducted. This paper is directed to evaluate the static and seismic stability of MSE wall by adopting design criteria from SNI 8460:2017 using the pseudo-static approach with Limit Equilibrium Method (LEM) which modelling earthquake as a seismic coefficient, a one-way constant load and dynamic response approach with Finite Element Method (FEM) which modelling earthquake as ground motion,  a fluctuating load which varies in time. The stability analysis is performed by considering three failure mechanisms that mostly occurred in MSE Walls; base sliding, tensile overstress, and slope failure. The earthquake load is modelled based 1000-year return period earthquake. Based on the analysis result, the most potential failure mechanism that may occur in the MSE wall is tensile overstress, while the least potential failure is base sliding. The analysis result also shows that the finite element method obtained higher safety factors compared to limit equilibrium, while on the other hand, the remaining two failure mechanisms shows the different result, with the finite element method obtaining lower safety factors than limit equilibrium. Modelling seismic load as an accelerogram indicates that earthquakes have higher impacts on structure stability compared to seismic coefficient, based on seismic safety factor reduction of each method. Although show differences in the value of the safety factor, the minimum safety factor required still complies with both methods.
Case report – Distal tracheal injury after orotracheal intubation
Authors: Cunha Mylena Phillipps , Graciano Ana Carolina , Guther Gabriela Machado , Merlos Priscila Gabriella Carraro , Merlos Fernando
Published: August 2024

Distal tracheal lesions resulting from orotracheal intubation are rare and more severe complications, which mainly affect females. Its cause is not specified, but it is believed to be related to direct laceration of the trachea. Thus, its diagnosis is based on the clinical symptoms observed in the patient and, for confirmation, bronchoscopy is used. Its treatment depends on the size of the lesion, for the choice of the surgical or conservative method, and should occur early. However, the site of the injury also influences the choice and effectiveness of treatment, i.e., in cases of distal tracheal injury, conservative treatment becomes impaired due to the impossibility of positioning the cuff of the orotracheal tube after the injury. Thus, the present case report aims to report and discuss the treatment of a case of distal tracheal injury after orotracheal intubation. In addition, the scarcity of journals that address this subject shows the importance of further studies focused on the treatment of distal lesions, due to the greater complexity of this case.

Published: August 2024

Eclampsia and preeclampsia are serious complications of pregnancy that pose significant risks to maternal and fetal health, especially during cesarean delivery. This study reviewed the literature on anesthetic approaches in cesarean sections for patients with these conditions, using the SciELO, PubMed, and LILACS databases. The methodology followed the PICO model, focusing on pregnant patients with eclampsia or preeclampsia, comparing regional and general anesthesia, and analyzing maternal and neonatal outcomes. The results indicate that regional anesthesia is the preferred technique in 70% of cases of mild to moderate preeclampsia, with lower complication rates. In contrast, general anesthesia is often required in cases of eclampsia. The review highlights the importance of multidisciplinary protocols and effective communication between health teams to optimize outcomes. It is concluded that the choice of anesthetic method should be individualized, considering the severity of the patient's condition and the urgency of the procedure.

Introduction: Preeclampsia is a clinical syndrome, characterized by predominantly cardiovascular symptoms, manifestations attributable to systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction and generalized vasoconstriction resulting in hypertension, hypoperfusion and multiorgan failure. It affects between 3 and 10% of pregnancies, and is the leading cause of maternal death in the world. General objective: To know new strategies for approaching, diagnosing, and treating preeclampsia. Materials and methods: Articles in English and Spanish published from 2019 to 2022 were selected, using available electronic databases. Conclusions: New molecules have been discovered for the early diagnosis of preeclampsia, based on the angiogenic relationship, including high levels of sFlt-1, sEng, IL-16, Activin A, ICAM and VCAM, as well as low levels of PAPP-A, PlGF and placental protein 13. In addition, new drugs and treatments such as sildenafil, pravastatin, and stem cells are being researched for more effective management. However, due to discrepancies in outcomes for mother and fetus, its widespread recommendation is not yet possible.

For a better postoperative rehabilitation of colocephalectomy in dogs, laser therapy has been shown to be an alternative modality that is being considered efficient because it is safe, painless, regenerative and improves animal welfare. This therapy uses low-level laser that positively assists in the healing process, presenting analgesic, anti-inflammatory, healing and circulatory effects. The laser used is therapeutic, being a coherent, monochromatic and collimated light source, for this reason it does not present side effects when used at the correct power. Hip dysplasia is described as an impairment of the hip joint, and is considered one of the most important orthopedic dysfunctions in large and giant dogs, and can present in different degrees and different forms of joint degeneration. It manifests itself through specific clinical signs, which contribute to a conclusive diagnosis. The treatment of hip dysplasia has as its main objective pain control, its indication is variable according to factors related to each patient, and can be conservative or surgical, as is the case with colocephalectomy.
Foundation of a millenary civilization: Egypt and the origin of mathematical measurement systems

The ancient civilization of Egypt left a significant mark on the evolution of mathematical concepts, which is of great importance due to its influence in this field. The ancient Egyptian mathematicians set important precedents in modern mathematics through their innovative approach to solving practical problems that for their time must have been of a high level of complexity. In ancient Egypt, applications were based on the decimal system and mathematical techniques were fundamental in their day-to-day life. The Egyptian numeral system, which used multiples of ten and hieroglyphics, offered an efficient way to perform mathematical operations and manage resources. This non-positional approach, in which the value of a symbol did not depend on its position in the number, allowed the Egyptians to perform complex tasks related to accounting, architecture, and astronomy. One of the main characteristics of Egyptian mathematics was its use in everyday life. In administrative management, notaries employed the ten-number system to record assets and taxes on papyrus documents, simplifying resource management and accounting. In the planning and construction of monuments such as the pyramids, Egyptian mathematics was instrumental as precise calculations were needed to measure and calculate proportions. In addition, the decimal system was used in astronomy for the tracking of astronomical cycles and the elaboration of calendars, which was essential for agriculture and religious structure. Egypt's mathematical heritage not only had an impact on contemporary mathematical practice, but also developed the foundation for future advances in this discipline. Despite being non-positional, the Egyptian numeral system, with its base 10 and methods of calculation, impacted later numerical systems and the advancement of Greek and current mathematics. Research of Egyptian mathematical papyri, such as the Rhind Papyrus, reveals how.

Penelitian ini membahas tentang hubungan antara ilmu dan akhlak dalam Al-Qur’an. Al-Qur’an merupakan panduan lengkap dan terbaik dalam menjalani hidup dan mencari keridhaan Allah, Al-Qur’an sebagai sumber utama ajaran Islam, memnerikan penekana yang besar pada pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan (ilmu) dan perilaku baik (akhlak). Ilmu dan akhlak merupakan dua unsur yang saling melengkapi dalam membentuk manusia beriman dan bertakwa. Ilmu merupakan dasar dari segala Tindakan manusia, berbuat tanpa ilmu segala perbuatan manusia menjadi tidak terarah dan tidak bertujuan. Ilmu memang memiliki derajat yang tinggi di hadapan Allah, namun akhlak adalah buah nyata dari ilmu itu sendiri. Akhlak    adalah hal terpenting dalam kehidupan manusia karena akhlak mencakup segala pengertian tingkah laku, tabiat, perangai, karakter manusia yang baik maupun yang buruk dalam hubungannya dengan Khaliq atau sesama makhluk.
This article discusses the relationship between knowledge and morals in the Koran. The Al-Qur'an is the complete and best guide in living life and seeking Allah's pleasure. The Al-Qur'an as the main source of Islamic teachings, places great emphasis on the development of knowledge (ilmu) and good behavior (akhlak). Knowledge and morals are two elements that complement each other in forming a man of faith and piety. Knowledge is the basis of all human actions, without knowledge all human actions become directionless and aimless. Knowledge indeed has a high degree before God, but morals are the real fruit of knowledge itself. Morals are the most important thing in human life because morals include all understanding of good and bad human behavior, habits, temperament, character in relation to the Khaliq or fellow creatures.

The notion of Needs analysis has evolved over the decades. Currently, the process of requirements analysis has become significantly more comprehensive. Its purpose is to gather information about the learners and to establish the desired learning setting and atmosphere for studying English for Specific Purposes (ESP). This study was conducted in Politeknik Sandi Karsa. There were 23 students in nursing study program. The researcher provides a set of 12 themes, all of which received a consistently high ranking from all types of respondents as suitable learning material. The findings of this study are anticipated to serve as a point of reference for future research, namely in the areas of syllabus/RPS preparation and the development of English teaching materials for nursing students. There are numerous crucial factors that may be utilized as a valuable reference in the development of ESP materials for the sub-skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. It can be concluded that the majority of students prioritize the development of vocabulary and speaking skills over other skills due to their aspiration to work as a nurse abroad for nursing students at Politeknik Sandi Karsa Makassar Indonesia.
