Article: EU Air Transport and the EU’s Environmental Agenda Struggle: A Leap of Faith or Can a CBAM Level the Playing Field?
Authors: Buissing Niall
Published: February 2023

Air transport, like any sector, must become more sustainable to combat climate change and protect the environment. The EU’s Green Deal sets out an ambitious environmental agenda to reach a climate-neutral continent by 2050. The ‘Fit for 55’ (FF55) legislative package provides sectoral measures, including air transport, to reduce emissions by 55% in 2030. When the additional costs required to comply with these environmental measures lead to competitive distortion, airlines and airports established in the EU and bound by the EU’s environmental policy are poised to be negatively affected. More importantly, ticket price increases may lead to ‘carbon leakage’ practices, where the reduction in emissions in one country leads to a rise in another. To mitigate these effects, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is presented as a possible solution. Applying an economic measure designed for the trade in goods, such as a CBAM, to trade in air services is, however, not as simple as it may seem, and its application beyond EU borders is politically sensitive and questionable legally. While the design of a CBAM for aviation is currently on the drawing table, this article maps the different interests at stake and considers the measure in the context of different legal regimes.

Article: Was the European Union’s 2021 Trade Strategy a Critical Juncture?
Authors: Garcia-Duran Patricia , Eliasson L. Johan
Published: February 2023

The European Union (EU) presented its new trade strategy in early 2021. This article assesses whether the strategy constitutes a path-altering development in EU trade policy. Drawing on concepts from Historical Institutionalism the article assesses the presence and influence of the permissive and productive conditions necessary for a critical juncture, meaning a path-altering policy development, to occur. The permissive conditions refer to the external environment, while the productive conditions are internal, referring to ideational (cognitive and normative) and instrumental developments. We find that although the EU responded instrumentally to changes in the international trading system, and a loosening of the liberal international order, the new trade strategy was not accompanied by a complete ideational change. The EU’s normative outlook was little changed in 2021. The conclusion discusses how subsequent changes in the international environment and trade instruments may affect EU trade policy, and whether, over a longer time-period, the new strategy may nonetheless be identified as the start of a critical juncture.

Published: January 2023

El Mundo Virtual (MV) ha ganado prominencia teórica en el ámbito educativo dada sus múltiples ventajas; sin embargo, en la práctica, su integración a procesos de Formación Inicial Docente (FID) sigue siendo poco estudiada. Esta investigación de diseño pre-experimental tiene por objetivo analizar el efecto de simulaciones de prácticas pedagógicas en un MV sobre la valoración de desempeños pedagógicos de estudiantes en FID. Participaron 140 estudiantes chilenos de programas de pedagogía en una intervención educativa que constó de seis sesiones de 90 minutos durante un período de dos meses durante la pandemia. Se administró un instrumento de autorreporte, como pre y post test, para la valoración de desempeños pedagógicos. Los hallazgos reportan un efecto positivo de las simulaciones de prácticas pedagógicas sobre el desempeño docente, como también, una mayor valoración por parte de estudiantes de cursos superiores en comparación a estudiantes de cursos inferiores. Se concluye que el MV refuerza competencias pedagógicas, disciplinares y tecnológicas de los futuros profesores, y proporciona un espacio de simulación de prácticas efectivas en un contexto seguro ante las condiciones actuales por COVID-19.

Giới thiệu và Mục tiêu: Chúng tôi khảo sát chỉ số định lượng độ nặng tổn thương trên X-quang phổi (CXR) lúc nhập viện nhằm dự đoán tử vong ở các bệnh nhân mắc COVID-19 điều trị tại bệnh viện Vinmec Central Park (TP.HCM, VN) trong đợt dịch cao điểm năm 2021.

Đối tượng và Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Thiết kế hồi cứu; dữ liệu X-quang và lâm sàng được thu thập từ tất cả bệnh nhân nhập viện và dương tính với SARS-CoV-2 PCR từ tháng 7 đến tháng 9 năm 2021. Ba bác sĩ X quang đánh giá độc lập điểm CXR lúc nhập viện, bao gồm mức độ nặng và mức độ lan rộng của tổn thương phổi trên bốn góc phần tư phổi (thang điểm 0-24). Mối liên hệ giữa điểm CXR và nguy cơ tử vong được ước lượng bằng phân tích hồi quy thời gian/sự kiện với phân phối logarit-logistic.

Kết quả: Có 219 bệnh nhân được đưa vào nghiên cứu (28 bệnh nhân tử vong). Có sự đồng thuận tốt giữa 3 bác sĩ về ước lượng điểm CXR (κ = 0,90; CI95%: 0,89-0,92). Phân tích PCA cho thấy vai trò tương đương giữa điểm CXR và chỉ số CRP. Điểm CXR còn là thông số có khả năng dự báo tử vong tốt nhất (tdAUC 0,85; CI95% 0,69–1) trong giai đoạn 3 tuần đầu so với những thông số lâm sàng và xét nghiệm thường quy khác. Sau khi hiệu chỉnh cho tuổi, vẫn có liên hệ ý nghĩa giữa sự gia tăng điểm CXR và nguy cơ tử vong (HR = 1.15; CI95%:1.04-1.27, p=0.009). Ở ngưỡng 16 điểm, điểm CXR cho phép dự đoán tử vong với độ nhạy và đặc hiệu cao (0,82; CI95%: 0,78 - 0,87 và 0,89; CI95%: 0,88 - 0,90).

Kết luận: Điểm số CXR trong ngày đầu nhập viện là yếu tố dự báo độc lập và hiệu quả cho nguy cơ tử vong trong COVID-19 và có thể được sử dụng để xác định những bệnh nhân có nguy cơ cao ở những nước như Việt Nam.

Climate anomaly phenomena are increasing in frequency and duration along with the occurance of global warming phenomena. El Nino and La Nina climate anomalies have a direct impact on agriculture. This study aims to analyze the occurrence of extreme climate phenomena El Nino and La Nina in 2012-2022 in Indonesia and their impact on rainfall in South Sumatera Province which is one of the centers of oil palm plantations. The research was conducted by identifying sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Pacific Ocean and classifying them into El Nino and La Nina strength levels or normal conditions. Based on the sea surface temperature anomaly, it is known that Indonesia experienced strong El Nino events in 2014-2015 and weak El Nino in 2019. El Nino causes a prolonged dry season and decreases the amount of rainfall. The La Nina phenomenon occurs in 2020-2022 with weak to moderate strength. La Nina causes a prolonged rainy season and an increase in the amount of rainfall. Normal conditions occurred in 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018 which were marked by sst anomalies of not more than +0.5°C and -0.5 °C. During normal conditions, South Sumatra Province has an annual rainfall of 2,500 mm, rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, and dry months are less than 3 months that suitable for oil palm cultivation. In the last 10 years, Indonesia has experienced the El Nino and La Nina climate anomalies with increasing frequency, duration, and level of strength.

The criminal act of trafficking in persons is any action or series that fulfills the elements of a criminal act as stipulated in Law No. 21 of 2007 concerning the eradication of the crime of trafficking in persons. Human trafficking (trafficking) has long occurred on this earth and is an act that is contrary to human dignity. This is a violation of human rights, rights and human dignity which are protected under Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. In the past, trafficking in persons was only seen as forcible transfer abroad for the purpose of prostitution, illegal forced labor that lasted for a long time. TPTPPO can be committed by individuals, groups, corporations and sometimes by family (parents/siblings), relatives, friends or neighbors of the victim. Victims of TIP are generally women and children, this is possible because they are very vulnerable and considered weak (physical and psychological) so that traffickers are very easy to deceive. Victims often receive cruel treatment, suffering, not even a few who experience violence and threats of violence.

Data from the Indonesian Medical Discipline Honorary Council (MKDKI) shows that cases of malpractice by obstetricians are quite high. For example, a malpractice case that reached the Supreme Court was a team of doctors consisting of dr. Come on, Dr. Hendi Siagian, and dr. Henry Simanjuntak at Dr.Kandau Manado Hospital against the victim, Julia Fransiska Makatey. Another case, malpractice by dr.Heryani Parewasi, Sp.OG. at Anutapura Hospital in Palu against the victim, Nur Indah Restuwati. The two cases of malpractice resulted in a decision by the Supreme Court Judge No. 871K/Pid/2018. The research method in writing this thesis uses normative legal research supported by empirical legal research. Normative legal research is library research to collect data from reference reading materials and laws and regulations, while empirical research is field research, namely the Supreme Court decision No. 871K/Pid/2018. Field research is needed to collect data directly on the objects and subjects referred to in this research. Forms of criminal acts committed by doctors in carrying out their profession are divided into three categories, namely (1) deliberate criminal malpractice; (2) Criminal malpractice that is reckless; and Criminal Malpractice that is negligent. The basis for consideration of the Supreme Court Judges in deciding case No. 871K/Pid/2018, the basic consideration is that the Defendant did not convey to the victim's family about the possibilities that could happen to the victim and sentenced him to 10 months in prison. Mechanism for resolving medical malpractice cases A civil or criminal lawsuit, in this case a dispute between doctors and hospitals dealing with patients and their families or their proxies, can be resolved in two ways, namely litigation (through the judicial process) and non-litigation (outside the judicial process). Justice). It is better if Law Number 29 of 2004 concerning Medical Practice is formulated regarding medical malpractice along with explanations so that the general public, doctors and the world of health can understand and know the criteria for criminal acts of medical malpractice.
Implementasi Penerapan Pidana Bersyarat dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP)

Conditional punishments regulated in the Criminal Code do not provide protection to perpetrators of criminal acts because they are not a type of crime but a way of carrying out a crime. Therefore, the Draft Criminal Code regulates criminal supervision as a new type of criminal sanction in the main crime. Supervision punishment is a substitute for conditional punishment and an alternative to imprisonment. This article examines the implementation of conditional criminal and criminal supervision arrangements in the Criminal Code Bill by looking at the implementation of criminal supervision in several countries, so that restorative justice can be realized. The criminal supervision arrangement in the Criminal Code Bill resembles the probation system in the UK, but emphasizes recovering losses incurred from criminal acts. As for the problems in writing this thesis, namely 1. How is the regulation of conditional criminal penalties in the Indonesian legislation, 2. How is the implementation of conditional crimes in Indonesia and How is the conditional criminal arrangement in the draft of the new Criminal Code. The research method can be interpreted as an important means to find, develop and test the truth of a knowledge. Therefore, before conducting research, the author first determines the method that will be used by the author. Methods or methodologies are elements that absolutely must exist in scientific research and development. Legal research is a process to find the rule of law, legal principles, and legal doctrines in order to answer the legal issues faced. If a conditional sentence has been imposed, the supervisory officers, especially the Prosecutor, should have frequent communication with the Supervisory Judge and the Observer Judge to monitor the condition and progress of the convict. In addition, the judge also saw the events behind the criminal act as a whole as well as the attitudes and actions of the defendant in his daily life in society. It is necessary to develop and explain the science of law in the community, in order to create a society that is aware of the law.

The implementation mechanism for granting Mortgage Rights Electronically for Creditors and PPATs always begins with the making of the Deed of Granting Mortgage Rights (APHT) before the PPAT between the Mortgage Giver (usually Debtors) and Creditors (usually Banks). The APHT has met the qualifications as an Authentic Deed both in terms of Procedure, Substance and Authority of the PPAT who made it official. The APHT is then registered by the PPAT at the local Land Office electronically no later than 7 days after the APHT is inaugurated which forms the basis for the issuance of an Electronic Mortgage Certificate by the Land Office. The Mortgage Certificate is requested and printed by the Creditor Recipient of the Mortgage by paying the predetermined PNBP. The HT certificate can be printed by the creditor after 7 days since the APHT was registered by the PPAT. The resolution of problems and obstacles faced by Users of Electronic Mortgage Rights, especially PPATs and Creditors refers to the Technical Instructions made by the Ministry of ATR/KBPN, April 29 2020 because basically these problems and obstacles are mostly related to the IT system and the Electronic HT Service server. Users (PPAT and Creditors) must always confirm these IT problems to the Electronic HT service provider, namely the local Land Office, so that Users of Electronic Mortgage Services, in this case PPAT and Creditors must be skilled and adequate in using all the tools needed to complete the granting of Mortgage Rights until the issuance of the Electronic Mortgage Certificate.
The Strategic Role of Energy Efficiency and Industry 4.0 Interventions in Manufacturing
Authors: Beccarello Massimo , Foggia Giacomo Di
Published: February 2023

Energy efficiency measures and Industry 4.0 investments are prominent drivers of business competitiveness and sustainability, working toward sustainable development goals and decarbonization commitments. We analyzed data from a survey of 239 Italian manufacturing firms conducted in 2021. The survey was designed to identify drivers of energy efficiency measures and Industry 4.0 measures, as well as barriers to their implementation. We also examined interventions on key business variables such as business model sustainability, corporate social responsibility, business economics, public image, reputation, and market positioning. Energy efficiency intervention drivers are correlated with sustainable corporate social responsibility and cost reduction, whereas Industry 4.0 intervention drivers are associated with production optimization variables. Prominent barriers to energy efficiency interventions relate to economic feasibility, regulatory uncertainty, and financial issues. Similarly, key barriers to Industry 4.0 interventions are economic feasibility, enabling infrastructures, and regulatory uncertainty. The implication of energy efficiency measures and Industry 4.0 investments are discussed to pave the way for complementarity, overlap, and contrasting effects of measures. The paper has business implications given that it benefits decision-makers to reduce the risk of strategic drift and increases the probability of meeting sustainable development goals and decarbonization targets of Sustainable Development Goal 11.
The Best-fit Design of Future Homes in the Post-Pandemic Era: A Case Study in Iran
Authors: Elahi Reza
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 humanitarian situation is unparalleled, and there can be no return to the "old normal." According to reports, the COVID-19 Pandemic is now a significant public health issue that could have an influence on people's quality of life as well as environmental sustainability and social responsibility, as well as architecture and home designs. Bearing this in mind, this qualitative research was conducted to (1) to explore the extent to which the architects apply innovative strategies to fit the needs for the homes in the post-Pandemic era, and (2) to explore the architectural needs and wants of the residents in the post-Pandemic era. To fulfill these, semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. A total of eight architects and ten residents living in apartment buildings were recruited by purposive sampling. The interviews were processed using thematic analysis. It was reported by majority of the architects that the most important innovative strategies to fit the needs for the homes in the post-Pandemic era are independent buildings, energy-related design changes, more human-centered design concepts, green open spaces, and advanced technology. As for residents, their architectural needs and wants in the post-Pandemic era were HVAC system, green open spaces, inappropriate designs, and lack of self-sufficient strategies. Further discussion on the findings have been reported in this research.

Background: Sleep plays an important role in our life. Adolescents undergo several changes with puberty and have a preference for later bedtimes due to internet usage. Evidence shows that many adolescents are not obtain-ing the required amounts of sleep (8-10 hours) due to inadequate sleep practices. The objectives of this research were to study sleep-pattern among adolescents in Semi urban Coimbatore and also to determine the sleep hygiene practices among the adolescents.
Methodology: This study is a school based cross-sectional study. A total of 300 adolescents from class VIII to XIIth were selected using simple random sampling. Data was collected from February to May 2018. A structured questionnaire for sleep pattern and Sleep Hygiene Index was used.
Results: The adolescents’ mean sleep duration was 7.49 ± 1.12 hours on weekdays and 9.32 ± 1.55 hours on weekends. Mean Sleep Pattern Index (SPI) score was 22.48±6.9 and Mean Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI) score was 17.51±6.3 in our study.
Conclusions: Majority of the adolescents had moderate scores of sleep pattern and sleep hygiene practices. Inter-ventions directed towards promoting good sleep hygiene strategies are required to improve the physical and emotional health of adolescents.

Background: Old age is often accompanied by frailty and diseases including neuropsychiatric disorders. Demen-tia and depression are the most common neuropsychiatric disorders among the elderly. Kerala has the maximum proportion of elderly in its population and successful identification of the elderly at risk is important for early in-tervention. The purpose of the study is to estimate the prevalence of depression and associated factors among the elderly population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 320 elderlies from July 2018 to July 2019.The preva-lence of depression was estimated using GDS-15. Socio-demographic factors, self- perceived health status, mor-bidity profile, falls and related factors, religious practices, independence in activities of daily living, and other so-cial factors associated with depression were assessed.
Results: 38.1% of the elderly were depressed. Majority had mild depression (23.4%) and 3.1% were severely depressed. Having no formal education, low socioeconomic status, not living with a spouse, no role in decision -making, average or poor self-perceived health status, past surgical history, and fear of falls were found to be inde-pendent predictors of depression.
Conclusion: The prevalence of depression was high among elderly. Screening for depression in the elderly should be incorporated in already available programs along with appropriate health care measures.

Authors: TP Jayanthi  , V Subhashini  , VM Anantha Eshwar
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Tobacco consumption is a preventable public health problem. GATS -2 survey in Tamil Nadu shows that 20% of adults use tobacco, 40% had plans to quit and 48% had made quit attempts. The purpose of the study was to assess factors associated with tobacco use; quitting plan, attempts and identify obstacles for to-bacco cessation.
Methods: A Cross-sectional study was done among 300 tobacco users in a suburban neighbourhood of Chennai and data was analysed using SPSS software.
Results: Ninety five percent were smokers and 86% smoked cigarettes. 70% knew that it causes cancer and res-piratory diseases. 60% planned to quit, 69% made quit attempts. Those with quit plans and health problems had an increased odds (AOR of 1.02 and 1.004 respectively) of making quit attempts. Advice from health profession-als (48%) and family (52%) triggered quit attempts. Stress and work pressure were obstacles for quitting (70%). Availability of therapy and professional help for tobacco cessation was known only to 49% and 14.7% respec-tively and none availed it.
Conclusion: Awareness of health hazards of tobacco use was high. Quit attempts have increased but with high failure rates due to lack of information and access to tobacco cessation services. Provision of community and fa-cility-based tobacco cessation services and integration with existing health programmes is the present need.
Deriving lexical statistics for psycholinguistic research on isiXhosa
Authors: Berghoff Robyn
Published: January 2023

Psycholinguistic research on isiXhosa and related Bantu languages is scarce. For research on lexical processing in particular, a prerequisite is data on lexical properties that impact word recognition, such as word frequency and neighbourhood density. This paper describes the derivation of these and related lexical statistics from a newly created 4.8-million-word isiXhosa corpus. It then reviews the potential applications of such a lexical database for research on language acquisition, language development, and language processing. The paper closes with recommendations for further work in this domain.
How to deal with so-called “vowel verbs with variant non-vowel forms” in a bilingual Zulu lexicon? The case for a pragmatic approach.
Authors: Michel Lafon , Mongezi Bolofo
Published: January 2023

Whilst lemmatisation in Zulu (and cognate languages) remains to this day a partially unsettled issue, with dictionaries, both bilingual and monolingual, adopting differing strategies in respect of nouns, we wish to focus here on a somewhat minute aspect of the matter: how to lemmatize verbs with optional initial vowels. As the variation occurs at the initial, it is crucial that it receives proper dictionary treatment, lest the user be misdirected or misinformed.
Design and Control of High Voltage Gain Interleaved Boost Converter for Fuel Cell Based Electric Vehicle Applications

Published: February 2023

The need for power is raising rapidly all across the world right now. This last period has seen a dramatic increase in the severity of global warming brought on by the earth's climate. Greenhouse gas emissions from customary fossil fuel-depend vehicles have risen to the forefront of environmental concerns as the number of cars on the road continues to rise. Pollution from traditional internal combustion engines is rising at an alarming rate. A growing number of people see renewable energy based techniques as ideal answers to the problems of rising fuel efficiency regulations and falling pollution levels. In recent years, interest in hydrogen's potential as a new energy vector has grown rapidly; this is because hydrogen can be converted to electric energy in a fuel cell (FC), making it a viable option for powering fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). In comparison to other fuel cell types, the working temperature range of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) makes it the best option for usage in automobiles. As the value of FC modules is rather low, a further action is necessary for interfacing with utility grids in FC-based power sources. Even though a traditional boost converter may increase the DC bus voltage from the FC to the necessary level by the inverter, doing so at a very high duty ratio reduces the converter's efficiency and effectiveness. In this study, we propose using high-gain interleaved DC-DC converters to fix this issue. To provide the electric vehicle's power train, this research introduces a radial basis function network (RBFN) with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method for PEMFC. To determine the PEMFC's optimum operating point, the planned NN-MPPT method employs a RBFN. FCEVS require dc-dc converters with more switching frequencies and heavy voltage gains for propulsion. A three-phase high voltage-gain interleaved boost converter (HV-GIBC) is also developed for the FCEV method to achieve high voltage-gain. Power semiconductors are stressed by leakage current fluctuation and voltage fluctuations are lessened by the interleaving method. We evaluate the MATLAB/Simulink platform's Fuzzy Logic controller against the RBFN-based MPPT controller in an FCEV system's performance evaluation.
Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Higher Recovery in Coordination with Nurses Employed in Psychiatric Wards
Authors: Banerjee Swapan
Published: January 2023

Psychiatric nurses oversee the day-to-day operational activities of a psychiatric hospital. Positivity is one of the essential qualities of a psychiatric nurse. Nurses require emotional strength to cope with disrespectful patients who refuse medication or deny having a mental condition. In acute psychiatric institutions, depression and bipolar disorder are common diagnoses and treatments. Ten psychiatric nurses and ten nutritionists from public and private hospitals in and around Kolkata, West Bengal, participated in this qualitative study that relied on a purposeful sampling method. Telephonic interviews were scheduled based on responses to semi-structured surveys. Before beginning the discussions, informed consent was obtained. Only those who volunteered were deemed to be mentally at ease and keen to talk about their experiences. The coding analysis was performed using the Atlas ti-9 software, and the participants' opinions were tallied using networking, word cloud, and other methods. Results of participants’ perceptions show that mental health nurses have several responsibilities; one of the most important is maintaining a positive attitude. Most patients committed to acute psychiatric hospitals suffer from major depressive disorder, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Despite a lack of research, some foods have been hypothesized to aid mental health. As a result, mental health facilities' nurses and dietitians encounter constant, unprecedented difficulties in their work. Besides, psychiatrists, nurses, and nutritionists face some of the most challenging patients in the hospital when working in mental wards. Overall, nurses and nutritionists need thorough training in dealing with adverse circumstances if their patients are to make full recoveries and enjoy their work.
Investigation of Numerical Methods SPH, ALE, Coupled MM-ALE with LBE and CONWEP Empirical method for Simulation of the Spherical Free Air Blast Loading with Using LS Dyna

Published: January 2023

Different simulation methods can be used to model the response of structures to the effects of blast loading. While some simulation methods are based on empirical blast loading principles, other methods use a fluid structure interaction algorithm to predict post-explosion shock waves and their physical effects. In this study, CONWEP, SPH, ALE, and coupled MM-ALE with LBE numerical methods were compared against each other according to results from an experimental study. Each method was compared with the test results in terms of solution time, convergence, and the use for different explosive types and environments. According to this comparison, it was concluded that empirical methods can be used for more limited environmental conditions and blast types, ALE numerical methods can give very sensitive results even in different solution sets but the solution time is long. Meanwhile in SPH method, the interaction of the air and blast shock cannot be fully modelled. According to the results of the study, the hybrid method is consistent with the test results in terms of peak pressure with a deviation of 7.44% at P1 and 2.29% at P2 under spherical free air blast loading conditions. However, since the effects of reflected pressure cannot be modelled exactly in the hybrid method, the ALE method should be preferred in cases with more complex geometries.
