La contribución del Tribunal de Justicia a la mejor transposición y aplicación del Acuerdo Marco sobre el trabajo de duración determinada en el ámbito del empleo público temporal. El caso español
Authors: Garate Castro Javier
Published: March 2024

La regulación, empleo y desarrollo de las relaciones de servicios temporales de los empleados públicos es, especialmente en España, frecuente causa de conflictos, una parte de los cuales aparecen motivados por pretendidas incompatibilidades con el Acuerdo Marco sobre el trabajo de duración determinada. Las dudas sobre dichas incompatibilidades y su solución han animado a los jueces españoles (del orden social y del orden jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativo) al planteamiento de un muy elevado número de peticiones de decisión prejudicial, las cuales llevan al convencimiento de que el empleo público temporal ha venido discurriendo y todavía discurre con arreglo a un marco normativo, prácticas en su utilización y criterios judiciales de interpretación que deben ser objeto de revisión a fin de eliminar sus desajustes con el Derecho Social de la Unión y, en particular, con los declarados por el Tribunal de Justicia. Sin perjuicio de los avances producidos, la regulación española del empleo público temporal presenta aspectos que siguen sin responder a las exigencias de una transposición suficiente de la Directiva 1999/70/CE, por la que se da aplicación al Acuerdo Marco.
Desafíos en materia de desempleo en la reforma de los reglamentos de la UE sobre Seguridad Social
Authors: Pazó Argibay José Manuel
Published: March 2024

La regulación de la protección por desempleo en el Derecho de la Unión Europea se ha configurado sobre una técnica de coordinación que no actúa sobre el contenido de cada una de las legislaciones nacionales en busca de una legislación uniforme, sino en el establecimiento de unas reglas de actuación que acomodan dichas regulaciones nacionales con la garantía de la libre la circulación de trabajadores. No obstante, pese al esfuerzo regulador, estas disposiciones presentan en ocasiones ciertas disfunciones. Este trabajo se adentra en el estudio de las disposiciones particulares aplicables a la prestación por desempleo contenidas en los Reglamentos de coordinación y sus propuestas de modificación, poniendo de relieve aquellos aspectos que suscitan mayor controversia y una mayor complejidad a la hora de su aplicación.

Authors: Anguita Osuna José Enrique
Published: March 2024

La lucha contra las drogas se ha convertido en un problema global que tiene que ser abordado coordinadamente por todos los actores implicados, es decir, las organizacio­nes internacionales, las regiones y los Estados. En esta labor tiene un papel trascen­dental la Unión Europea, ya que, bajo el marco de la cooperación internacional, tendrá que continuar desarrollando su política de lucha contra el tráfico ilícito de drogas. La Unión Europea lleva muchos años luchando contra las drogas, observándose la conse­cución de importantes logros en el desarrollo de su acción en esta materia. A pesar de que con el inicio del proceso de integración comunitaria los avances en la lucha contra las drogas fueron más escasos, gracias al trabajo, dedicación y compromiso mostrado en este campo, ha conseguido convertirse en un referente mundial en la lucha conta el narcotráfico, y ha sido capaz de configurar una serie de instrumentos que permiten combatir las drogas con eficacia, destacándose la Agenda y el Plan de Acción, así como la Estrategia de la Unión Europea en materia de lucha contra la droga. Además, la Unión Europea está fomentando la cooperación internacional con otras regiones en el ámbito de la erradicación del narcotráfico, concediendo prioridad a América Latina, con la que, en diferentes niveles de actuación, celebra reuniones y consigue acuerdos significativos para continuar luchando de forma coordinada contra las drogas.

El Caso Baraona y los desarrollos recientes de la Corte Interamericana sobre libertad de expresión y honor de los funcionarios públicos
Authors: González Morales Felipe
Published: March 2024

La sentencia reciente de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en el casoBaraona vs. Chile representa un avance relevante en la protección de la libertad de expresión en el Sistema Interamericano, consolidando la tendencia en ese sentido que se viene de los últimos años. Resalta al respecto la exclusión que la Corte hace del Derecho Penal para casos de afectación del honor de los funcionarios públicos y el hecho de que, a partir de Baraona, en tales situaciones ya no sea un requisito el realizar previamente un test sobre la presencia o no de un interés público. Este artículo estudia dicha sentencia y muestra cómo ella se inserta en la evolución de la jurisprudencia del sistema interamericano en la materia.
Stakeholder-based governance for managing victims of violence against women and children in East Java
Authors: Rodiyah Isnaini , Irianto Jusuf
Published: March 2024

The number of domestic violence has increased. Meanwhile, until now it has not been possible to identify the stakeholder groups involved and need to be involved in providing solutions to prevent and manage victims of violence. A stakeholder-based governance system can be considered to manage victims of violence both preventively, curatively and rehabilitatively. The purpose of this study is to describe stakeholder-based governance to deal with victims of violence against women and children. This research was conducted at the East Java Integrated Service Center for the Protection of Women and Children (P2T-PPA) which has owned and implemented stakeholder-based governance. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities with qualitative data analysis methods. The FGDs involved representatives from each stakeholder in the management of victims of violence against women. The results showed that the stakeholder-based governance system is able to overcome various barriers to communication, coordination, and synergy in dealing with victims more quickly, accurately, and comprehensively. This study concludes that stakeholder-based governance for women and children is the best approach because it is able to integrate all related parties, especially if it is supported by early detection technology to treat victims’ trauma conditions in a curative and rehabilitative manner.

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Using Hypnosis
Authors: Ika meilia Putri Dianita , Susanto Mardi
Published: March 2024

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a global problem and a serious public health issue. Perpetrators often resort to threats and force to incapacitate their victims, including using hypnosis. The use of hypnosis increases the level of difficulty of clinical forensic examination by presenting a diagnostic issue and complicating the formulation of forensic medical expert opinions. This evidence-based case report (EBCR) aims at assessing the available evidence concerning the forensic examination and diagnosis of hypnosis-facilitated CSA. A comprehensive computer-based literature search was performed using several keywords related to the clinical question. The search yielded seven relevant articles. The articles were appraised using general critical appraisal questions from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, University of Oxford. All articles suggest that there might be a place for hypnosis in a criminal investigation (‘forensic hypnosis’). The evidence on the correct application of forensic hypnosis and its benefits are, however, still inconclusive and conflicting. In cases of suspected sexual assault using hypnosis, forensic hypnosis could potentially help memory recall of the victim and aid forward-thinking in drawing a clear and unambiguous conclusion for the forensic medical expert opinion.

Network‐Independent Grid Synchronous Stability Boundary and Spontaneous Synchronization
Authors: Yuan Yu
Published: March 2024

Spontaneous synchronization on complex networks is widespread in the real world. These synchronization behaviors are believed to be closely related to the network topology. However, it is difficult to obtain complete information in reality. Therefore, a network-independent analysis path is needed. In this study, a synchronized stability boundary equation is derived which is system- and disturbance-independent and applicable to arbitrarily coupled grids. The results also imply that spontaneous synchronization on a network may be network independent. These conclusions provide new research paths for network synchronization and analyze the synchronization stability of grids in a unified way.

Fear of Artificial Intelligence? NLP, ML and LLMs Based Discovery of AI-Phobia and Fear Sentiment Propagation by AI News.
Authors: Samuel Jim , Khanna Tanya , Sundar Srinivasaraghavan
Published: March 2024

Confusion, fear and mixed sentiments prevail in the minds of people towards what is arguably one of the most important of dynamics of modern human society: Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to explore the contributions of news media towards this phenomenon - we analyze nearly seventy thousand recent news headlines on AI, using natural language processing (NLP) informatics methods, machine learning (ML) and large language models (LLMs) to draw insights and discover dominant themes. Our theoretical framework was derived from extant literature which posits the power of fear producing articles and news headlines which produce significant impacts on public behavior even when available in small quantities. We applied extensive textual informatics methods using word and phrase frequency analytics, sentiment analysis and human experts based thematic analysis to discover insights on AI phobia inducing news headlines. Our rigorous analysis of nearly seventy thousand headlines using multiple validation methods in NLP (exploratory informatics including BERT, Llama 2 and Mistral based topic identification), ML (supervised informatics) and LLMs (neural nets for sentiment classification, with BERT, Llama 2 and Mistral) demonstrates the presence of an unreasonable level of emotional negativity and fear inducing verbiage in AI news headlines. The framing of AI as being dangerous or as being an existential threat to humanity can have a profound impact on public perception, and the resulting AI phobia and confusion in public perceptions are inherently detrimental to the science of AI. Furthermore, this can also impact AI policy and regulations, and harm society. We conclude with a discussion deducing implications for society and make recommendations for education and policies that could support human identity and dignity.
Innate and Adaptive Regulation of Cognition
Authors: Wallace Rodrick
Published: March 2024

The draconian regulation required by the inherent instability of cognitive phenomena -- gene expression, immune function, cancer suppression, wound healing, animal consciousness, machine intelligence, network stabilization, institutional cognition, and their many and varied composites -- can be viewed through the lens of the asymptotic limit theorems of both information and control theories. Here, we explore the dynamics and sometimes highly punctuated failures of the regulation of cognition under increasing `noise'. The approach parallels, and indeed generalizes, the Data Rate Theorem of control theory, extending the theorem's requirement of a minimum channel capacity necessary for stabilization of an inherently unstable system. Various models are explored across different basic underlying probability distributions characteristic of the system under study, and across different hierarchical scales, finding the addition of adaptive -- learned -- regulation greatly extends the reach of innate -- e.g., AI-driven or otherwise pre-programmed -- regulation. This work points toward the construction of new statistical tools for the analysis of observational and empirical data across a wide spectrum of inherent pathologies and adversarial challenges afflicting a wide variety of cognitive processes.
Research on the Effect of Carbon Dioxide Miscible Fracturing Huff and Puff in Enhancing Oil Recovery
Authors: Xu Shijing , Wang Changquan , Gao Bin , Wang Tiezheng
Published: March 2024

Carbon dioxide (CO2)miscible fracturing huff and puff technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing the recovery rate of crude oil, particularly in reservoirs with challenging physical properties, strong water sensitivity, high injection pressure, and complex water injection dynamics. In this study, the oil-increasing mechanism and huff and puff effect of CO2 miscible fracturing fluid are investigated through a comprehensive experimental approach. Specifically, experiments on PVT gas injection expansion, minimum miscible pressure, and CO2 miscible fracturing huff and puff are conducted on the G fault block reservoir in J Oilfield. The findings demonstrate that injecting CO2 into reservoirs leads to oil volume expansion, viscosity reduction, and saturation pressure increase. Additionally, the inclusion of solubilizers and viscosity reducers further enhances the efficiency of crude oil extraction. Solubilizers not only improve oil recovery but also reduce the minimum miscible pressure required for effective CO2 dispersion. Furthermore, the shut-in time, permeability, and huff and puff method all have considerable impacts on huff and puff recovery rate. This study offers valuable technical insights, supporting the application of CO2 miscible fracturing huff and puff technology to enhance oil recovery in low-permeability reservoirs.
SupCon-MPL-DP: Supervised Contrastive Learning with Meta Pseudo Labels for Deepfake Image Detection
Authors: Moon Kyeong-Hwan , Ok Soo-Yol , Lee Suk-Hwan
Published: March 2024

Recently, there has been considerable research on deepfake detection. However, most existing methods face challenges in adapting to the advancements in new generative models within unknown domains. In addition, the emergence of new generative models capable of producing and editing high-quality images, such as Diffusion, Consistency, and LCM, poses a challenge for traditional deepfake training models. These advancements highlight the need for adapting and evolving existing deepfake detection techniques to effectively counter the threats posed by sophisticated image manipulation technologies. In this paper, our objective is to detect deepfake videos in unknown domains using unlabeled data. Specifically, our proposed approach employs Meta Pseudo Labels (MPL) with Supervised Contrastive Learning, so-called SupCon-MPL, allowing the model to be trained on unlabeled images. MPL involves the simultaneous training of both a Teacher model and a Student model, where the Teacher model generates Pseudo Labels utilized to train the Student model. This method aims to enhance the adaptability and robustness of deepfake detection systems against emerging unknown domains. Supervised Contrastive Learning utilizes labels to compare samples within similar classes more intensively, while encouraging greater distinction from samples in dissimilar classes. This facilitates the learning of features in a diverse set of deepfake images by the model, consequently contributing to the performance of deepfake detection in unknown domains. When utilizing the ResNet50 model as the backbone, SupCon-MPL exhibited an improvement of 1.58% in accuracy compared to traditional MPL in known domain detection. Moreover, in the same generation of unknown domain detection, there was a 1.32% accuracy enhancement, while in the detection of post-generation unknown domains, there was an 8.74% increase in accuracy.
Effective Removal of Microplastics Particles from Wastewater using Bio-Substrates
Authors: Romero-Zeron Laura Beatriz , Bhagwat Kalyani Prasad , Rodrigue Denis
Published: March 2024

The rapid increasing rate of soil and water bodies pollution is the main anthropogenic effect caused by the mismanagement of post-consumer plastics. This research evaluated the effectiveness of cattail (Typha Latifolia) fibers (CFs) as bio-adsorbents of microplastic particles (MPPs) from wastewater. The effect of the adsorption environment composition on the adsorption rate was investigated. Batch tests were conducted to evaluate the “spontaneous” adsorption of MPs onto CFs. Five MPPs materials (PVC, PP, LDPE, HDPE, and Nylon 6) were evaluated. An industrial wastewater (PW) and Type II Distilled Water (DW) were employed as adsorption environments. The batch tests results show that CFs are effective in removing MPPs from DW and PW. However, higher removal percentage of MPPs were obtained in PW, ranging from 89% to 100% for PVC, PP, LDPE, and HDPE; while the adsorption of Nylon 6 increased to 29.9%, a removal increased of 50%. These observations indicate that hydrophobic interactions drive the “spontaneous and instantaneous” adsorption process and that adjusting the adsorption environment effectively enhances the MPPs removal rate. This research demonstrates the important role that bio-substrates can play in reducing the environmental pollution as efficient, sustainable, low cost, and reliable adsorbents for the removal of MPPs from wastewaters.
Finite Element Analysis versus Empirical Modal Analysis of a Basketball Rim and Backboard
Authors: Winarski Daniel , Nygren Kip P. , Winarski Tyson
Published: March 2024

The ANSYS 2024R1 student edition was used to create a finite element model of a basketball rim and backboard. This finite element model included the use of steel for the rim and its mount, a tempered glass backboard, and an aluminum frame behind the backboard. After a mesh was created, fixed support boundary conditions were applied to the four corners of the aluminum frame. The subsequently calculated mode shapes and frequencies were compared to empirical modal analysis previously done at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Four mode shapes and frequencies agreed rather well between the theoretical finite element analysis and previously published empirical modal analysis, specifically where the rim was vibrating in the vertical direction, which was the direction that the accelerometer was aligned for modal analysis. However, three mode shapes missed by the empirical modal analysis were found where the vibration of the rim was confined to the horizontal plane, which was orthogonal to the orientation of our accelerometer.
Investigations of self-heating effects in Silicon-Photomultipliers
Authors: Garutti Erika , Martens Stephan , Schwandt Joern , Villalba-Pedro Carmen
Published: March 2024

The main consequence of radiation damage on a Silicon-Photomultiplier (SiPM) is a significant increase in the dark current. If the SiPM is not adequately cooled, the power dissipation causes it to heat up, which in turn affects its performance based on the temperature. In order to investigate this heating effect, experiments were carried out using a KETEK SiPM glued on an Al2O3 substrate, as well as HPK SiPMs that were either glued onto an Al2O3 substrate or a flexible PCB. The assemblies were connected either directly to a temperature-controlled chuck on a probe station or through layers of materials with well-defined thermal resistance. A DC-mode LED was used to illuminate the SiPM, and the resulting SiPM current was measured to determine the steady-state temperature. This temperature depended on the power dissipated in the multiplication region of the SiPM and the thermal resistance. This information can be utilized to adjust the SiPMs working point, taking into account the effects of self-heating. Similarly, this approach can be applied to packaged SiPMs that have an unknown thermal contact to a heat sink.

Published: March 2024

Time evolution of the quantum correlation of the hybrid qubit-qutrit system in multilocal and global dephasing under the effect of a classical noises environment is presented. We considered the qutrit in z direction and the qubit x direction. In addition, our system presents two configurations: the different and the common environment and our discussion involves three types of noises: A Static Noise (SN), Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) and Ornstein- Uhlenbeck noise (OU). By using the density matrix approach to determine the evolution of the state of the system, the found that the static noise is fatal for the quantum entanglement, the quantum correlation and for RTN and OU noises the quantum entanglement, the quantum correlation decreases monotonically with a sufficiently long time. Therefore, we can say that, entanglement and the quantum correlation are more robust to the noise precisely those Random telegraph noise and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise.

Authors: Menga Giuseppe
Published: March 2024

Classically the walk in biped robotics was obtained controlling balance during the whole step, i.e. guaranteeing that the pressure point under the soles always stayed in the polygon of the supporting feet. However, this assumed that the feet were able to transfer torque to the ground during the whole gait cycle. In spite of the fact that the amount of transferrable torque in the feet-ground contact is limited, it is possible only during some phases of the step, and the overall process is energetically inefficient. On the other side, starting from the passive motion of the rimless wheel falling on an inclined surface, and ending to the inverted pendulum with a compass, balance in the whole was proven in spite of dynamical instability inside each step. Along this line results of Foot Placement Estimation (FPE) in 2-D and 3-D showed how energy efficient walk was possible, emulating the human walk with a free fall on the swing foot and energy restitution at the foot collision with the ground for the next step. This model assumes pointy feet, so without torque transfer to the ground. In the realm of FPE, in previous papers the present author adopted the 3-D inverted pendulum in polar coordinates (Spherical Inverted Pendulum - SIP) to introduce omnidirectional walks with arbitrarily changing characteristics. No torque control was used during the step, i.e the pendulum was always in free fall at each step, the only control actions were at the beginning of the next step. These actions are: the change of angular velocities at the start of a new step, with respect to those given after the collision (emulating the torque action in the brief double stance period), to recover for the losses, and the preparation of the position in the frontal and sagittal planes of the swing foot for the next collision. The present paper improves this paradigm, proposing a general model to account for all characteristics of the biped and of the gait, with adding a minimum of dynamical complexity with respect to the SIP. This model allows, not only to walk omnidirectionally on a flat surface, but also to go up and down staircases.

Wearable Biosensor Technology (WBT) has emerged as a transformative tool in the educational system over the past decade. This systematic review encompasses a comprehensive analysis of WBT utilization in educational settings over a 10-year span (2012-2022), highlighting both the evolution of this field and its integration to address challenges in education by integrating technology to solve specific educational challenges, such as enhancing student engagement, monitoring stress and cognitive load, improving learning experiences, and providing real-time feedback for both students and educators. By exploring these aspects, the review sheds light on the potential implications of WBT for the future of learning. A rigorous and systematic search of major academic databases, including Google Scholar and Scopus, was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles selected were assessed for methodological quality and bias using established tools. The process of data extraction and synthesis followed a structured framework. Key findings include the shift from theoretical exploration to practical implementation with the EEG being the predominant measurement, aiming to explore mental states, physiological constructs, and teaching effectiveness. Wearable biosensors are significantly impacting the educational field, serving as an important resource for educators and a tool for students. Their application has the potential to transform and optimize academic practices through sensors that capture biometric data, enabling the implementation of metrics and models to understand the development and performance of students and professors in an academic environment, as well as to gain insights into the learning process.

In a company, it cannot be separated from the role of human resources who work in it. The quality of human resources is one of the factors that influences the level of company productivity. Therefore, there is a need for an existing employee performance assessment system to determine the level of productivity of each existing employee. The problems that exist at PT. Mertex Indonesia is the absence of an assessment system which results in no knowledge of the performance level of its employees. Based on these problems, this research designed an employee assessment system using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method which is used to support decision making for employees which refers to the employee's level of productivity. This research aims to create decision support in evaluating the performance of company employees to be able to maintain the high value of company productivity. The results obtained from weighting using AHP are changes in ranking where operator 2 and operator 3 exchange ranking positions.
Highlights :

Lack of performance assessment system at PT. ABC impacts productivity.
Research designs AHP-based employee assessment system.
Results show ranking changes, enhancing decision-making for productivity.
