Authors: Казьмин Сергей Алексеевич , Кораблева Мария Сергеевна , Лобанов Алексей Валериевич , Тимофеев Олег Яковлевич
Published: July 2022

Классификация судов осуществляется по различным признакам: в зависимости от их предназначения, размерений, дедвейта, эксплуатационных ограничений, принципов поддержания на воде, перевозимых грузов и способов их обработки. Суда нефтегазового флота традиционно относятся к группе судов «технического флота» и предназначены для обеспечения обустройства морских месторождений континентального шельфа, выполнения подводно-технических, внутрискважинных, строительно-монтажных, трубоукладочных и кабелеукладочных работ, а также иных задач, связанных с обеспечением деятельности нефтегазовых объектов. Континентальный шельф представляет собой самую доступную часть Мирового океана и является зоной наиболее активной деятельности человека по освоению различных ресурсов за пределами суши. В настоящее время освоение Мирового океана направлено на решение трех основных проблем, имеющих первостепенное значение для дальнейшего глобального развития человечества:увеличение объемов добычи минерального сырья, использование энергии океана, обеспечение продуктами питания и размещение населения.В статье рассматриваются различные подходы к классификации судов и средств океанотехники, с помощью которых реализуется комплекс мероприятий, направленных на освоение, обустройствои эксплуатацию многообразных энергетических объектовконтинентального шельфа.В частности, в материале проанализированы классификационные принципы ФАУ «Российский морской регистр судоходства», норвежского DNV (DetNorskeVeritas), а также подходы к классификации, применяемые нефтегазовыми компаниями и брокерами (на примере компании Rystad Energy (Норвегия)). Кроме того, в статье в форме таблиц и схем представлены обобщенные данные по классификации нефтегазопромыслового флота, применяемой в различные периоды в отечественной нефтегазовой промышленности.

Published: July 2022

Целью работы является анализ Дорожной карты трека «Маринет» Национальной технологической инициативы и выработка предложений по ее актуализации в контексте новой ситуации в мире – бифуркации мировой системы, вызванной экономической войной между развитыми западными странами во главе с США и Россией. Обоснована необходимость включения в число актуальных направлений морехозяйственной деятельности России производственных технологий глубокой переработки морской биопродукции, рециклинга, ускоренного развития отечественного рыболовного судостроения, оборудования и материалов, аква- и марикультуры, возобновляемой морской энергетики с одновременной ускоренной цифровизацией морской экономики. Цифровизация морской экономики должна проводиться путем создания независимых цифровых экоси-стем с использованием отечественных цифровых платформ и программных про-дуктов, элементной базы микроэлектроники, сенсорики и вычислительной техни-ки, расширения и совершенствования подготовки кадров цифровой экономики. Цифровые экосистемы, выходя за рамки морской экономики и распространяясь на другие отрасли, обеспечивают реализацию «стратегии смежного синергетического развития». Показано, что в фокусе развития должна быть классическая инновационная модель экономики с приоритетом развития новых производственных технологий, опорой на внутренние источники инвестиций в производство, модернизация государственно-частного партнерства и системы подготовки профессиональных кадров цифровой экономики. Создание конструкторов цифровых систем и разработка алгоритмов, обеспечивающих быстрое сооружение и конгруэнтную перестройку цифровых экосистем в зависимости от изменения внутренней и внешней среды, обеспечат ускоренную цифровизацию экономики России, ее цифровой и технологический суверенитет. Для приморских регионов страны показана необходимость синхронного развития агропромышленного и рыбохозяйственного комплексов, предприятий общественного питания в концепте биоэкономики полного цикла. Использование цифровых платформ существенно снижает цены на продукты питания, повышает продовольственную безопасность и устойчивость регионального развития.

Published: July 2022

Статья посвящена выявлению биоразнообразия Lumbricidae в осушенных окультуренных почвах разной степени оглеения. Исследования проведены в 2020–2021 гг. на сенокосе в Черняховском районе Калининградской области (Лава-Прегольская низменность) и на пахотном поле в Зеленоградском районе (Самбийская равнина). Представители типов Annelida и Mollusca в мезофауне почв имеют сходное долевое участие, преобладают виды Nematoda. Во всех почвах встречаются представители восьми основных классов типа Arthropoda. Нейтральная реакция в дерново-подзолистых почвах на сенокосе благоприятна для дождевых червей (115–159 шт./м2), а повышенная кислотность в глееватых буроземах под культурой ячменя отрицательно сказывается на их численности (в среднем 58 шт./м2). В дерново-глеевых почвах с периодом поверхностного затопления содержится в среднем 95 червей на 1 м2. В катенах происходит увеличение их численности от повышенных и менее увлажненных участков к пониженным и более увлажненным. В дерново-подзолистых глееватых почвах на сенокосе обнаружены Dendrodrilus rubidus f. tenuis, Octolasion lacteum, Lumbricus rubellus, Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus castaneus, редко Eiseniella tetraedra. В пахотных глееватых буроземах преобладают Aporrectodea caliginosa, Lumbricus rubellus. Наибольшее количество дождевых червей сосредоточено обычно в слое 0–10 см. Но в глееватых буроземах в июне он пересыхает, и наблюдается сезонная миграция червей на глубину 10–20 см. Такой вид дождевых червей, как Octolasion lacteum, является индикатором почв с близким залеганием карбонатов (СаСО3), а Eiseniella tetraedra встречается преимущественно в почвах с периодом поверхностного затопления.

Industrial and business sectors have big influence to gross domestic product in some regions (GDP). Beside that, GDP is influenced by electricity consumption. That statement is the reason why value of loss load (VOLL) had to be calculated. This research calculates VOLL for getting the value of outage cost, efficiency and productivity industrial and business sector in each Area Pengaturan Beban (APB) and in entire Java-Bali region. VOLL is calculated by macroeconomic analysis because this method has more time efficiency than survey analysis. VOLL forecasting in 2016-2023 are calculated too in this research. After that, the outage cost forecasting in hierarchical level 1 (HL 1) can be gotten if expected energy not supplied (EENS) from HL 1 is calculated. Before EENS calculation is held, analysis of another reliability indices such as loss of load expectation (LOLE) and loss of load probability (LOLP) were calculated. The calculation results show that VOLL in 2017 is 35,100.67 Rp/kWh and EENS in HL 1 is 7.25 MWh. Total outage cost from calculation is 289 million rupiahs.

Published: July 2022

Wall-following control of mobile robot is an important topic in the mobile robot researches. The wall-following control problem is characterized by moving the robot along the wall in a desired direction while maintaining a constants distance to the wall. The existing control algorithms become complicated in implementation and not efficient enough. Ant colony algorithm (ACA), in terms of optimizing parameters, has a faster convergence speed and features that are easy to integrate with other methods. This paper adopts ant colony algorithm to optimize PID controller, and then selects ideal control parameters. The simulation results based on MATLAB show that the control system optimized by ant colony algorithm has higher efficiency than the traditional control systems in term of RMSE.

Rahmatan Lil 'alamin is a term of the Koran referring to the main purpose of da'wah carried out by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This term is often used to explain that Islam is a religion of peace, compassion, tolerance, and love of kindness. However, in the Qur'an, the hadith and the history of the da'wah of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions show that not all activities aimed at upholding rahmatan lil' alamin can be presented with peace, compassion, tolerance, and love of kindness, but there is also the concept of jihad, amar ma' Ruf nahi munkar and wala 'with fellow believers. This paper tries to explore the meaning of grace in the Qur'an and how to make it happen with the thematic interpretation method approach. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the meaning of rahmatan lil 'alamin will be realized when there is a balance between hablun minallah and hablun minannas, namely implementing twelve activities related to the hablun minallah relationship and twelve activities related to hablun minannas.

Authors: Khalifa Hussein Khalifa Hassan
Published: July 2022

This study aims to provide quantitative monitoring of violent scenes in movies and series, and to what extent they are used for commercial purposes, as well as their social effects. The study relies on Robin and Kim's model of uses and effects, which is that utilitarian motives for the use of media content and activity patterns that support communicative effects will be positively related to the effects of this content, while ritual motives and patterns of activity obstructing communicative effects will be negatively related to the effects of this content. The survey method was used. The questionnaire was applied to 400 respondents. The field study found that the percentage of watching movies and series on satellite channels has increased on a permanent and regular basis, and the percentage of females who watch movies and series on a permanent basis has increased more than males. The percentage of watching scenes of violence and crime in movies and series has also increased on a permanent and regular basis, and it is worth noting that all subjects of the sample watch those scenes, even if they differ in the extent of viewing. The motive related to the fact that scenes of violence and crime in movies and series are more realistic, provided the motives that expose the respondents to scenes of violence and crime, then the audacity to address them, then the respondents' passion and love to follow crime events as presented by films and series. The results of the field study showed that the most societal effects of witnessing scenes of violence and crime were represented in “individuals behaving as if they are in a forest without respect for social controls and laws,” and then “restoring the right and supporting the oppressed does not take place by law, but I must take my right myself and by force away. About the government”, then “crime of all kinds is on the rise in Egyptian society”, then “marital infidelity and illegal relations are prevalent in Egyptian society and are justified, and that theft is the most appropriate and fastest solution to solve my economic problems.”

Authors: Munir Muhammad Asif , Sarwat Nosheen
Published: July 2022

Most organizational change studies focus on the individual’s positive or negative reactions towards organizational change, yet there is a lack of understanding in existing literature as to the specific reasons behind individual’s positive or negative response. The purpose of the current study is to empirically examine the impact of individual cognitive appraisal of organizational change on their psychological wellbeing with goal congruence as a mediator between the relationship. The data consisted of a sample (N=191) and were collected from employees who worked for a large distribution firm of multinational products. Our findings suggest that the individuals who appraised their organizational change as a challenge also depicted positive impacts on their psychological wellbeing as mediated by goal congruence. On the other hand, where the individuals appraised organizational change as a hindrance/threat, it negatively impacted their psychological wellbeing. In the end future research directions and implications of the study have been discussed.

Published: July 2022

The study's major goal was to determine whether lockdowns, remote learning, and other significant changes brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic caused students at a locally supported institution in Laguna to feel depressed, anxious, or stressed. Students enrolled from 2020 to the present or during the pandemic's duration made comprised the study's participants. This was a quasi-experimental design. It was designed to find out if students were displaying signs of stress, anxiety, or depression. An intervention, Emotional Freedom Technique, has been used to mitigate and address their degree of depression, anxiety, and stress. The participants' age, sex, course, and year level demographics were also noted. The research used simple random sampling and the researcher called all the participants who met the criteria. Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) was utilized to determine their level of symptoms. Moderate to extremely severe symptoms had been invited to participate in the experiment. Volunteered participants had been assigned to three experimental groups namely depression group, anxiety, and stress. Forty-five (45) participants had been subjected to 16 (sixteen) sessions of online intervention with a total of 48 sessions for three groups with an interval post-test within the sessions. Fortunately, after 16 sessions of the emotional freedom technique, the participants in the anxiety group had a baseline of 16.69 mean or severe but after three post-tests they became better as revealed by the last post-test mean of 4.84 or normal. As to depression, they had 22.77 mean or severe, but after sessions it was now 10.38 mean or mild. The participants had 25.50 mean or severe but afterwards 8.70 mean or normal in the stress group. Since quantifiable data has demonstrated how well the emotional liberation technique works, the hypothesis that it is ineffective for reducing the participants' levels of sadness, anxiety, and stress symptoms was rejected. Nevertheless, the researcher will create an intervention called “Psychological Acupuncture for Comfort” as the output for the study.

Outer space perseveres as a domain of contestation. In fact, the era of the early 2000s was also remarked to be embroiled in a ‘second space race’. In this regard, in November 2019, NATO also declared outer space as its operational domain. In contrast, BRICS formally committed in 2021 to the prevention of an arms race in outer space. Russia and China agreed to cooperate on a permanent manned lunar base and are investing heavily in their space programs. This is ringing bells in Western-led established order. Once the International Space Station (ISS) is decommissioned in 2022, China’s space station, if constructed in 2025, will be the only functioning global space station for which Beijing is already seeking cooperation from partners. Interestingly, NASA’s legislation prevents it from collaborating with the Chinese National Space Agency. This article endeavours to understand the scenario with a two-fold focus: will the emerging countries like BRICS follow the footsteps of the West in militarizing outer space? how countries other than China use this opportunity to attain a desirable position in the international order. The study provides an insight into how non-Western countries have secured a place in attaining a considerable position in outer space.

Objective: To determine the current antibiotic resistance patterns and identification of quinolone and ceftriaxone resistant genes among Salmonella enterica subspecies serovar Typhi.
Method: The prospective study was conducted from September 2018 to March 2019 and comprised samples collected from major hospitals and laboratories in Karachi, Quetta, Lahore, Kharia, Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Peshawar after approval from the institutional ethics review board of Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan. Antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates collected from the health facilities was checked using the Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method in line with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines at the Department of Microbiology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Rawalpindi, Pakistan. All isolates were subjected for identification of genes responsible for quinolone and ceftriaxone resistance using polymerase chain reaction followed by gel-electrophoresis.
Results: Among the 96 isolates, phenotypically, ceftriaxone was found resistant in 31(32.29%) and ciprofloxacin in 95(99%). Genotypically, blaCTX-M-15 (beta lactamase, CTX as its acronym, -M from Munich) gene for ceftriaxone resistance was found in all phenotypically resistant 31(32.29%) isolates, while QnrS (Quinolone resistance, S group), GyrA (DNA gyrase subunit A), and GyrB (DNA gyrase subunit B) genes responsible for ciprofloxacin resistance were found in different frequencies (percentages given in table 2).
Conclusion: The spread of extensively drug-resistant Salmonella enterica subspecies serovar Typhi strain to many big cities calls for urgent preventive measures.
Key Words: XDR S. typhi in Pakistan, AMR, Resistance pattern of S. Typhi, Ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin resistant genes.

Students’ perceptions on distance learning: Problems to be solved in the post COVID-19 era
Authors: Murakami Manabu , Jin Shigeki , Kotaro Matoba
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected medical education worldwide. While some researchers realised the importance of using information technology before the pandemic,1 online education has progressed, and synchronous or asynchronous distant learning has become widely adopted in medical education.2 Accordingly, recent studies have identified factors that promote or inhibit distance learning.3,4 Reinhart et al. interviewed fifth-year German medical students studying clinical medicine. They found that the following five significant factors influenced distance learning: “mental wellbeing,” “communication,” “structure and self-organisation,” “technical issues,” and “learning and commitment.” 3 We felt that the study would be transferable and planned a similar study in a medical school.
We interviewed 21 first-year students at Hokkaido University in Japan. We also interviewed 12 third-year and 5 fifth-year students as additional data for reference. The main research question was, “What problems do students face in online education?” With the students’ consent, their interviews were recorded and transcribed. The transcribed scripts were fragmented, codified, and organised into categories. The university ethics committee approved this study (approval number 20-003).
Students’ problems were divided into four categories: 1. communication and relationship; 2. content suitability; 3. effects on student life; and 4. technology and network (Table 1). Many parts overlap with the results of the previous study.3 In our research, first year students with weak relationships and fifth-year students enrolled in clinical practice had a negative attitude towards online education. In contrast, third-year students enrolled in medical lectures had a positive attitude.
The previous research5 suggested that it is preferable to adopt a blended approach, a combination of distance learning and traditional face-to-face learning, to increase students’ satisfaction and learning outcomes. Our results are consistent with the study mentioned above and suggest that lectures or practice using only distance- learning may be inadequate in medical education outcomes.
Memon et al.1 focused on blended learning using learning management systems in Pakistan before the pandemic. Although we don't know why they had recognised its importance in 2018, we strongly agree that blended learning should be promoted and utilised in medical education, especially since this will become the post-pandemic “new normal.” With the current pandemic afflicting numerous countries, we expect our research to help improve global medical education in the post- COVID-19 era.

Objetivo: Proporcionar información actualizada sobre la viruela símica, situación epidemiológica, sintomatología, letalidad, diagnóstico, tratamiento y medidas de prevención. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda de literatura científica en las bases de datos Organización Mundial de la Salud, Google Académico y PubMed, se  eligieron los descriptores o palabras relacionadas con la enfermedad y se realizó la búsqueda para la descripción de reportes de casos y brotes producidas por la viruela símica. Resultados: Desde que se reportó el primer caso en humanos, han existido brotes en el continente africano, fuera de éste, se han reportados varios casos y brotes en otros países, la mayoría en los Estados Unidos. El último evento se reporta en mayo de 2022 y es de preocupación mundial, debido a la aparición en varios países no endémicos. Conclusiones: La presencia de casos de viruela símica en humanos se ha mantenido desde su aparición, la ausencia de un tratamiento específico y vacunas autorizadas para su administración, podrían generar un aumento en la morbimortalidad.

 

SUMMARYIntroduction: Monkeypox is a disease that occurs in monkeys, however there have also been cases in humans since 1970, becoming a zoonosis of viral origin, the symptoms are similar to smallpox but less severe. Objective: To provide updated information on monkeypox, epidemiological situation, symptomatology, lethality, diagnosis, treatment and prevention measures. Materials and methods: A search of scientific literature was carried out in the World Health Organization, Google Scholar and PubMed databases. , the descriptors or words related to the disease were chosen and the search was performed for the description of case reports and outbreaks caused by monkeypox. Results: Since the first human case was reported, there have been outbreaks on the African continent, outside of Africa, several cases and outbreaks have been reported in other countries, most in the United States. The last event is reported in May 2022 and is of global concern, due to the appearance in several non-endemic countries. Conclusions: The presence of cases of monkeypox in humans has been maintained since its appearance, the absence of a specific treatment and vaccines authorized for its administration, could generate an increase in morbidity and mortality
