Pelaksanaan Vaksinasi dalam Kajian Al-Qurâ€™an
Authors: B Nurhasin , Jalaluddin Moh.
Published: June 2024

Pada pandemi Covid 19 saat ini yang membawa dampak sangat berbahaya dan mematikan, pemerintah Indonesia melaksanakan vaksinasi kepada semua warganya. Pelaksanaan vaksinasi ini merupakan suatu keharusan bagi semua warga negara untuk dilaksanakan. Pelaksanaan vaksinasi ini merupakan suatu tindakan yang dianggap penting dengan tujuan utama adalah untuk mewujudkan kekebalan tubuh masyarakat dari penyakit dan mencegah penularan penyakit secara meluas kepada masyarakat yang lain. Apabila masyarakat menolah terhadap pelaksanaan vaksinasi tersebut, maka ada sanksi-sanksi tertentu yang diterapkan oleh pemerintah kepada masyarakat. Vaksinasi adalah pemberian antigen dari virus atau bakteri yang dapat merangsang daya tahan tubuh (antibodi) dari sistem imun di dalam tubuh manusia atau semacam memberi infeksi ringan. Vaksinasi dilaksanakan karena adanya suatu kemaslahatan yang baik dengan tujuan utama adalah untuk mencegah sebuah kerusakan atau bahaya yang akan terjadi kepada setiap individu, sehingga diri individu tersebut dapat terpelihara dengan baik, dan apabila individu terkena virus, maka eksistensinya tidak menularkan kepada orang lain berdasarkan pendekatan pemeliharaan tubuh dan lingkungan. Hal ini termasuk juga dalam kategori maslahah dharuriyah, yaitu kemaslahatan menjaga jiwa (hifzh annafs) dan menolak kerusakan/bahaya (mafsadah). Pendekatan yang dilakukan Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI)  selain berdasarkan dalil, juga menggunakan sains dan teknologi dalam menguji keabsahan vaksin tersebut, baik dari segi maslahat maupun mudharatnya. Pendekatan inilah yang menjadikan MUI menarik kembali putusan sebelumnya dan memberikan putusan halal pada vaksin ditinjau dari sesuai dengan syariat Islam (maqasid al-syariah).

Sosiaalinen neurotiede nyt
Authors: Hietanen Jari
Published: June 2024

Humans are inherently social animals and need the company of others for their well-being. Accumulating evidence suggests that our cognitive system as well as the associated neural networks include domain specific mechanisms specialized for processing information from other people. This information is necessary for efficient and smooth social interaction. This article first describes findings from two main areas of social neuroscience research: processing of visual information from other people’s faces and bodies, and processing of (non-visible) information about other people's minds. After this, the article focuses on the big challenges the researchers on the field are facing: how to move on from the typical laboratory experiments in which participants are often mere spectators looking at pictures of other people. How to design studies which are genuinely social?

Striving for Excellence in Legal Writing: Ein Werkstattbericht über den Aufbau eines Proseminars zur Förderung juristischer Schreibkompetenzen
Authors: Humbel Claude
Published: June 2024

Die Rechtswissenschaftliche Fakultät der Universität Zürich (RWF Zürich) hat im Rahmen der Studienreform „Bologna 2021“ beschlossen, in der Aufbaustufe des Bachelorstudiengangs Proseminare zur Förderung der juristischen Schreibkompetenzen der Studierenden einzuführen. Wiewohl Proseminare an deutschen Rechtsfakultäten bereits länger etabliert sind, lässt sich diese Gegebenheit nicht für den gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum verallgemeinern. Aus helvetischer Sicht handelt es sich bei der Einführung solcher Proseminare gleich doppelt um ein Novum: Zum einen werden Proseminare bislang nicht an allen Schweizer Rechtsfakultäten angeboten; zum anderen und vor allem soll der Fokus dieser Veranstaltung erstmals prinzipaliter auf die Förderung der juristischen Handwerkskunst jenseits des herkömmlichen Auslegungskanons und der hermeneutischen Arbeit gelegt werden. Curricular reiht sich dieses Proseminar in die Bestrebungen der Fakultät ein, dem Verfassen rechtswissenschaftlicher Texte im Studium mehr Raum zu bieten. Es baut konkret auf dem Pflichtmodul „Juristisches Arbeiten“ auf, welches die Studierenden im ersten Semester absolvieren und das aus den beiden Lehrveranstaltungen „Juristische Arbeitstechnik“ und „Wissenschaftliches Schreiben“ besteht. Die Einführung eines dedizierten Lehrformats verfolgt das Ziel, die juristischen Schreib- und Methodenkompetenzen der Studierenden zu festigen, weiter zu stärken und zu verfeinern, nicht zuletzt auch, um sie auf das spätere Verfassen der Bachelor- und der Masterarbeit vorzubereiten. Mit diesem Angebot spezieller Lehrveranstaltungen zum Verfassen wissenschaftlicher Texte möchte die Fakultät zu den anglo-amerikanischen Law Schools aufschließen, die dem Unterricht von „Legal Research and Writing“ einen prominenten Platz im Studium einräumen. Der vorliegende Werkstattbericht soll sich nicht auf die Schilderung der Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau eines Proseminars beschränken. Vielmehr wird der Versuch unternommen, Leitlinien für die Entwicklung vergleichbarer zukünftiger Veranstaltungen herauszuarbeiten. Beleuchtet wird zunächst die Rolle des Fachs „Legal Writing“ in der bisherigen und künftigen juristischen Ausbildung im Allgemeinen und an der RWF Zürich im Besonderen (B.I.). Sodann werden die diesbezüglichen Bedürfnisse der Studierenden analysiert und der vorhandene hochschuldidaktische Rahmen erläutert (B.II.–III.). Anschließend sollen die Entwicklung und Durchführung des Proseminars anhand eines Beispiels nachgezeichnet werden (C.). Es folgt eine Darlegung der Assessment-Methoden, welche zum Einsatz gekommen sind (D.). Abgerundet wird der Beitrag mit einem kurzen Ausblick (E.).

Published: June 2024

Die Digitalisierung des Rechtsunterrichts ist in dieser Zeitschrift verschiedentlich behandelt worden. Die entsprechenden Fragen stellen sich auch in der Schweiz. Der Bildungsbericht Schweiz 2023 hält fest, dass die schweizerischen Hochschulen die Digitalisierung nutzen sollen, um die Lehre zu verbessern und flexibler zu gestalten. Die Umsetzung dieses Ziels obliegt den einzelnen Hochschulen, so etwa der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW). Die Autoren des vorliegenden Beitrags sind an der ZHAW verantwortlich für das Modul „Personen- und Sachenrecht“ im ersten Semester des Bachelorstudiengangs „Angewandtes Recht“ (Daniel Wyss) und das Modul „Strafrecht Grundlagen“ im ersten Semester des Bachelorstudiengangs „Wirtschaftsrecht“ (Markus Alder). Die nachfolgenden Ausführungen stützen sich auf die Modulevaluation in den beiden Modulen sowie die Erfahrungen der Autoren als Dozierende im Unterricht dieser beiden Module. Es werden die Erfahrungen der Autoren mit dem Flipped Classroom beschrieben und mit dem Stand der Wissenschaft abgeglichen. Dadurch sollen Erkenntnisse zur Wirksamkeit des Flipped Classroom im Hochschulunterricht gewonnen werden. Im Zentrum des Beitrags stehen die selbständige Inhaltserarbeitung mit Lernvideos durch die Studierenden und die Vertiefung dieser Inhalte im Präsenzunterricht.
Wargaming im Humanitären Völkerrecht
Authors: Baade Björnstjern
Published: June 2024

Das Humanitäre Völkerrecht mutet Juristinnen und Juristen, deren fachliche Primärsozialisation in aller Regel eine grund- und menschenrechtliche ist, viel zu. Es ist nicht nur ein komplexes Geflecht aus vertraglichen und gewohnheitsrechtlichen Normen zu durchdringen. Diese müssen auch noch auf Sachverhalte angewandt werden, die regelmäßig Extremsituationen darstellen. Neben der klassischen Vorlesung bietet sich ein besonderes Lehrformat an, um den Studierenden dieses ebenso fordernde wie bedauerlicherweise stets aktuelle Rechtsgebiet näherzubringen: Wargaming. Im Folgenden werde ich kurz die Entwicklung dieses Formats (A.) und das konkrete Szenario darlegen, das im WiSe 2021/22 an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg und im SoSe 2023 an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin mit Schwerpunktbereichsstudierenden besprochen wurde (B.). In der hier erprobten Form bietet das Wargaming eine niedrigschwellige und nicht zu zeitintensive Möglichkeit, Inhalte praxisnah in einem interaktiven Format zu wiederholen und kritisch zu vertiefen (C.).
Methodenvorstellung: TicTaxToe
Authors: Trinks Matthias
Published: June 2024

Bei TicTaxToe handelt es sich um ein Lernspiel, welches auf dem Zweipersonen-Strategiespiel Tic-Tac-Toe basiert. In Bezug auf notwendige Rahmenbedingungen ist es ubiquitär einsetzbar. Das Spielen ist gleichermaßen in einer kleinen Seminargruppe wie in einer Grundlagenvorlesung möglich. Es kann im Webinar oder in der Präsenzveranstaltung gespielt werden. Erforderlich ist letztlich allein die Präsentation des Spielfelds, sei es online, über einen Beamer oder als Tafelbild (Flipchart). Der Zeitaufwand für die Durchführung ist gering: Ein Spiel dauert meist nur wenige Minuten. Mit Blick auf die niedrigschwelligen Rahmenbedingungen ist die Vorbereitungszeit in technischer Hinsicht ebenfalls minimal. Die inhaltliche Ausarbeitung des Spielfelds hingegen kann mehr Zeit in Anspruch nehmen.
Der Beitrag von smarten 24/7-Märkten zur Sicherung der Nahversorgung in ländlichen Räumen
Authors: Bretthauer Johanna , Krajewski Christian , Küpper Patrick
Published: June 2024

Digitale Angebotsformen der Daseinsvorsorge sind gefragt, um vorhandene Versorgungsdefizite in ländlichen Räumen abzubauen und gleichwertige Lebensverhältnisse zu sichern. Für etwa die Hälfte der Landbevölkerung fehlen Nahversorgungsangebote. Seit 2019 werden smarte 24/7-Märkte erprobt, die ohne Verkaufspersonal auskommen, was die Frage nach deren Potential zur Sicherung der Nahversorgung für ländliche Räume aufwirft. Mit einer deutschlandweiten Bestandsanalyse, Experteninterviews und einer Verbraucherbefragung an zwei Standorten wird gezeigt, dass smarte 24/7-Märkte in erster Linie eine Nutzung für Ergänzungskäufe erfahren. Zudem sind hybride Angebote, d. h. mit zeitweisen personalbesetzten Öffnungszeiten, gerade für Senioren attraktiv und erfüllen insbesondere für diese eine soziale Funktion. Der Erfolg hängt dabei vom Zusammenspiel von Betreibern, Ortsbevölkerung und Politik ab.
A Kinematic Variable for Analyzing Snake Robot Dynamics
Authors: Rykkje Thorstein R , Impelluso Thomas J
Published: June 2024

This paper presents a modern mathematical method to analyze snake robot dynamics. The method is rooted in three facets of contemporary mathematics: Cartan’s concept of endowing all moving bodies with their own reference frames, Lie group theory with its associated algebra, and a compact notation. Building upon previous work with cranes, this paper presents a new kinematic variable for determining the equations of motion for any number of rigid bodies linked in a tree structure with revolute joints. The core equations simplify the analysis and introduce a notation for the coordinate transformation matrix that directly ports to coding. The resulting equations can be readily applied using symbolic math packages and direct numerical solvers. In addition to its primary role as a research document, this paper also serves as an expository educational resource, presenting the methodology in a semi-tutorial format. The culmination of this work yields a comprehensive 3D forward-kinematics analytical model for analyzing the multi-body dynamics of a snake robotic system.
RISE-EM: Resident Instruction in Social Emergency Medicine, a Cohort Study of a Novel Curriculum
Authors: Roche Heidi , Knettel Brandon A. , Knettel Christine , Fallon Timothy , Dunn Jessica
Published: June 2024

There is recognition in the ﬁeld of emergency medicine (EM) that social determinants of health (SDoH) are key drivers of patient care outcomes. Leaders in EM are calling for curricula integrating SDoH assessment and intervention, public health, and multidisciplinary approaches to EM care throughout medical school and residency. This intersection of SDoH and the emergency care system is known as social emergency medicine (SEM). Currently, there are few resources available for EM training programs to integrate this content; as a result, few EM trainees receive adequate education in SEM. To address this gap, we developed a four-part training in SEM tailored to EM residency programs and medical schools. This curriculum, known as RISE-EM (Resident Instruction in Social Emergency Medicine), uses video lectures, case examples, and group discussions to engage trainees and develop competency in providing sound care that is grounded in evidence-based principles of SEM. In the current study, we tested RISE-EM by delivering the video lectures to residents and medical students in two training programs. We administered pre- and post-course knowledge tests and a post-course participant attitudes survey to assess the acceptability and potential efﬁcacy of the program for improving SEM knowledge and attitudes among EM learners. We found it to be both feasible and acceptable to introduce SEM content in residency conferences, with preliminary data showing statistically signiﬁcant improvement in knowledge of the content and self-efﬁcacy to apply it to their clinical practice. In summary, RISE-EM has been highly valued by EM learners and viewed as a strong supplement to their existing training, and it has been shown to successfully improve SEM knowledge and attitudes.
Constructivist model to support the management of external innovation in the port sector
Authors: Maemura Yoshiura Luiz Junior , Rolim Ensslin Sandra , Dutra Ademar , Andrade Longaray André
Published: June 2024

The maritime transportation mode is the primary means for global goods movement, transforming ports into pivotal logistics centers in the operationalization of the supply chain. Due to its significance, terminals are constantly pressured to seek improvements in operational efficiency, relying on innovations as a necessary alternative to achieve their objectives. In this research, a case study was conducted at the private port in the city of Navegantes, located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, being one of the national leading in container handling volume. The research aims to develop a performance evaluation model to support the management of external innovation in the port. The intervention tool used was the Multicriteria Decision Aiding-Constructivist (MCDA-C) methodology, which, through primary and secondary data, enables the construction of a customized model according to the decision-maker's preferences and organizational context. The results presented by the model highlighted opportunities for improvement in the port's relationship with other external actors, as there is no formal and organized procedure for seeking external cooperation for the development of innovative solutions. At the same time, the management understands the importance of innovations for the sustainability of the company, investing, albeit in a decentralized manner, in improvements of both internal and external origin. The research contributes to the growth of the literature on the subject, in addition to offering practical contributions to the port of Navegantes in the form of a model capable of supporting innovation management, generating knowledge, highlighting critical points, and outlining improvement plans.
Threat of illicit drug trafficking in the maritime services of Colombia
Authors: Echeverry Andrade Fabio Hector , Jaramillo Molina Ciro , García Llave Ruth
Published: June 2024

In Colombia, the General Directorate of the Sea plays the crucial role of regulating and granting commercial exploitation licenses to companies that provide maritime services. These services not only drive national development but also strengthen sovereignty in maritime spaces through various activities. However, the maritime progress of the country is threatened by the tactics of Transnational Criminal Organizations, especially concerning illicit drug trafficking by sea. This article proposes to conduct a spatial analysis of maritime service clusters in Colombia that are closest to seizures of illicit drug trafficking by sea. To enrich this perspective, a bibliometric analysis is carried out linking the search equations "maritime services" and "security." The results of this investigation are presented through geographical and bibliographic maps, shedding light on the direct connection between maritime services and the threat of illicit drug trafficking. This approach represents an original contribution to the field, as there are few works exploring the intersection of these two themes and employing geographic information systems. Additionally, the application of these findings could be extrapolated to maritime commercial route data, allowing the identification of vulnerabilities caused by Transnational Criminal Organizations. This, in turn, would provide valuable information to maritime security authorities for implementing specific strategies at identified critical points.
Conceptualization of the era of autonomous shipping within maritime education and training framework
Authors: Campos Toresano Cristina , Castells Sanabra Marcel·la , Borén Altés Clara
Published: June 2024

The new developments on telecommunications, computing and sensors are triggering the ships to become more autonomous every day. The new projects leading to a fully autonomous way of transport are already building the fleets of the future, involving more efficient, sustainable and safer shipping operations. Against the expectations of the seafarer’s replacement by Artificial Intelligence and the Autonomous Systems, this technological emergence will be the opportunity for new businesses and job creation, which will require highly skilled crews and operators. Maritime Education and Training (MET) should progress towards updating subjects, incorporating new topics and upgrading teaching methodologies in order to develop highly skilled crews and on-shore operators while maintaining compliance with the STCW Convention standards. Previous research has already identified that technology related to autonomy is rarely addressed in the maritime curricula, and that the main gap in the preparation of new training lies in the updated STCW Code. Although some technological and research centres have incorporated concepts related to autonomy in their agenda, its integration has not been widespread across all Maritime Education and Training Institutions. The main objective of this article is to analyse this emerging content in relation to autonomous navigation, machinery systems, cybersecurity and remote-control systems, inter alia. These emerging contents will contribute to the development of a training course designed to establish new educational and proficiency standards to address the implications of this technology. The aim is to achieve a comprehensive conceptualization of the new era of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) within the Maritime Education and Training (MET) framework, facilitating the development and incorporation of MASS into maritime curricula.
Development of ro-ro transport in the Mediterranean
Authors: Demirel Ergun , Demir Ugur
Published: June 2024

The Mediterranean is a sea basin surrounded by developed and developing countries and is a region with maritime trade potential. In this region, container and Ro-Ro transport is gaining importance gradually and the quantity and capacities of ports suitable for Ro-Ro transportation are increasing. Ro-Ro transportation is an environmentally friendly mode of transportation since it has the flexibility to integrate into many transportation modes and emits fewer emissions.  Ro-Ro transport is preferred over container transport as it does not require much handling system investment, has short loading and unloading times, and is more suitable for intermodal transport. It is also a good option for the transport industry at a time when the whole world wants to reduce its emissions. 400 trucks could be pulled out of traffic with just one ship. While there are developed Ro-Ro and container terminals in the north of the Mediterranean, the number and capacities of those in the south are low. It is expected that there will be a significant increase in container and Ro-Ro transport in the Mediterranean in the coming years.
This study aims to identify new Ro-Ro transport routes in line with the economic needs in the Mediterranean and to provide recommendations for Ro-Ro terminals and fleet development concerning these routes.
This study will start with the assessment of the transport needs in the region and their suitability for Ro-Ro transport and will continue with the determination of new transport routes accordingly. As a result, recommendations will be presented regarding the capacity increase in existing lines and the configuration of new lines.

Published: June 2024

It is widely known that ports are important infrastructures for the economic development, serving as pivotal entry points for commerce and having, significant strategic importance for countries. The Brazilian maritime sector comprises 35 public ports and 174 Private Use Terminals, and exist a pressing requirement for their modernization and adaptation, especially in view of the increasing size of post-Panamax ships. Out of these 209 ports, just a few have channel depths conducive for accommodating ships with drafts exceeding 15 meters. This highlights the imperative for upgrades to meet the evolving demands of the maritime industry. The objective of this study is to analyze the environmental performance of ports deemed suitable for the development to facilitate the reception and operation of post-Panamax ships. Consequently, emphasis was placed on ports located along the coastal region or major rivers. As a result, as part of this research a selection of 38 ports were scrutinized. The analysis of the selected ports was carried out through the Índice de Desempenho Ambiental (IDA), the most notorious environmental performance indicator used by the Brazilian Government to evaluate the environmental performance of ports, comprising 38 indicators into 4 categories: economic-operational, socio-cultural, physical-chemical and biological-ecological. The results confirm that there are some indicators that are very positive such as the existence of environmental licensing or the provision of qualified environmental professionals. However, there are some indicators with a low performance that should be addressed such as the implementation of emergency response plans and the provision of onshore power supply.
Manoeuvring prediction technologies in ship handling for training and use on-board
Authors: Baldauf Michael , Benedict Knud , Fischer Sandro , Gehrke Mario , Finger Georg , Gluch Michael , Kirchhoff Matthias
Published: June 2024

In ship handling practice several manoeuvring prediction technologies are used to have a better insight into the development of ships motion. There is a historic development from very simple methods based only on the measurement of current ship motions up to high-tech innovative technologies where complex models of ship manoeuvring dynamics are used to forecast the response on commanded ruder, engine or thruster application or even external effects as wind and shallow water immediately for a suitable time period of the future motion.
In the paper the already known technologies will be compared with potential new methods from single up to multiple prediction and step ahead prediction with unrivalled extension of the decision horizon.
The SAMMON software system for “Simulation Augmented Manoeuvring Design, Monitoring & Conning” will be used to analyse the different prediction methods This system has been developed and matured over years, and promising experiences were made at the Maritime Simulation Centre Warnemuende MSCW.
The software is based on the innovative “Rapid Advanced Prediction & Interface Technology” (RAPIT) to simulate the ships motion with complex dynamic math models and to display the ships track immediately based on Fast Time Simulation in an Electronic Sea Chart.
Using this technology provides insights into the potential benefits in safe and efficient ship operation of the prediction methods discussed both for simulator training and future on-board application.
The benefits for increasing the effectiveness of lecturing and simulator training using these methods are obvious specifically for complex manoeuvring systems and will be made visible in this paper by using ships both with twin screw and azimuth propulsion for discussion of manoeuvring effects.
Urban waterborne public transport in the world: An owerview of past and existing state and possibilities of development in the city of Belgrade
Authors: Radmilović Zoran , Tomić Petrović Nataša
Published: June 2024

Large, medium and smaller cities on sea-river and inland waterways are increasingly looking for ways to expand their offers in urban, line passenger transport. In city of Belgrade, ever since 1941, the largest number of passengers were transported not by buses or trains, but by Sava river and Danube river boats. Crowded ships slowly but surely transported them to all destinations. The first steamboat entered the Sava on August 26, 1838. It was called "Sofia" and was intended to test the navigability of the river. Navigation on Sava began in 1844, but not to Belgrade. It was the Sisak-Zemun line. In the same year, a small steamboat that connected Bečkerek and Timişoara arrived in Belgrade via the river Tamiš.
In all cities, the lack of capacity in the road and railway network creates large costs. Congestion on urban land roads tends to continuously increase and grow. Belgrade is one such city with an interest in further developing its own potential in urban, public line transport.
In this paper, the key features of how urban, public water passenger transport networks are developed in the world with development opportunities in the Belgrade area are presented.
Intelligent fault diagnosis of marine equipments
Authors: Mendonça Luis , Vieira S. M. , Sousa J. M. C.
Published: June 2024

The automatic and intelligent diagnosis of faults in marine equipment is a task that is considered to be of great importance considering the numerous tasks that are associated with professionals working on ships. The possibility of including automatic and intelligent processes on a ship makes it possible to monitor equipment more effectively and make more informed decisions. This approach has received a lot of attention in the academic and industrial fields as it can offer considerable economic and safety advantages. Some fault diagnosis approaches can be found in the literature, where mathematical and control theory models are taken into account. However, in complex processes not all their characteristics are always known exactly, so mathematical modelling of processes is an extremely difficult task. Fault diagnosis can therefore be based mainly on data or heuristic information. The inherent characteristics of fuzzy logic theory make it suitable for processing this type of information, which is why it will be used to model processes and diagnose faults in a marine equipment valve. The fault diagnosis architecture proposed in this paper is based on analysing the discrepancy signals obtained between the outputs of the fuzzy models and the process data under study. These discrepancies, the residuals, are indicative of equipment fault. The proposed fault diagnosis architecture uses an intelligent decision-making approach to indicate the occurrence of faults. In this paper, this architecture will be used to diagnose abrupt faults in a marine equipment valve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented challenges, including lockdowns, difficulties inverification, staff swaps, and restricted international travel. These factors underscore our globalunpreparedness for such crises. While these challenges have significantly affected life on land, their impact onmaritime activities has been even more pronounced.Life at sea has been particularly strained due to the inability to disembark, prolonged voyages resulting fromorganisational replacements, limited access to hospitals during sea travel, and challenges in early illnessdiagnosis and effective isolation. These hurdles have collectively made navigating the pandemic exceptionallydifficult for maritime communities.Within the framework of the DESSEV project, funded by the European Union Erasmus+, a DEcision SupportSystem (DSS) addressing epidemic threats on sea-going vessels has been developed. This initiative includesthe establishment of a learning repository and knowledge base on infectious diseases. The repositoryencompasses WHO recommendations, IMO guidance, and procedures from select countries for managingindividuals with symptoms or an imminent case of infection on board. Additionally, the repository includesdetailed medical cases presented in the form of scientific articles, all of which are accessible free of charge onthe project website, www.dessevproject.eu.A second key objective of the project was the creation of a database on infectious diseases. This databasecomprises 22 infectious diseases described with 35 symptoms, grouped into 8 categories. The accumulatedknowledge serves as the foundation for the development of IF...THEN... rules in the form of decision trees.This article presents the tangible results achieved through the DESSEV project. It provides insights into howthe project has contributed to addressing the unique challenges faced by crews of sea-going vessels during thepandemic, offering a valuable resource for maritime communities and public health professionals.
Diagnosis of stress and fatigue in maritime work on board
Authors: López López María Natividad , De la Campa Portela Rosa Mary , Sánchez Girón Javier Ramón
Published: June 2024

All seafarers wishing to work on a ship must undergo a medical examination prior to embarkation, according to the Maritime Labour Convention, (MLC,2006), and the Standards of Training, Certfication, and Watchkeeping (STCW), in compliance with STCW Regulation I/9 and Section A-I/9. In Spain, this focuses mainly on physical tests of the individual and not so much on his or her mental health. This paper shows the results of a survey on "stress and fatigue in maritime shipboard work". Despite having suffered from both stress and fatigue in the last campaign on board, 49.79% of the respondents acknowledge that they have never been diagnosed with stress, and 52.04% reveal that they have not been diagnosed with fatigue. On the other hand, 55.50% of the participants in this consultation consider it necessary to diagnose stress in the medical examination and 61.40% believe that tests relating to the diagnosis of fatigue are necessary in these examinations. In view of these data, the competent authorities, as well as the different contracting companies, are urged to promote both prevention and mitigation of the possible consequences of suffering from both stress and fatigue in order to avoid unintended consequences such as maritime accidents as a result of stressed and/or fatigued crews, i.e. to include tests on the crew member's mental health before, during and after embarkation in medical examinations, as well as protocols for action by the companies in terms of training and information on these two problems.

The increasing global demand for maritime transportation and the significant rise in vessel sizes present an urgent challenge for port infrastructure. The emergence of larger vessels, driven by the pursuit of efficiency and cost reduction, underscores the pressing need for adaptation and modernization of ports to accommodate these new classes of ships. This scenario poses a challenge to port managers and government authorities to rethink and adjust their operational strategies, considering not only the physical capacity of terminals but also the efficiency and flexibility required to address the growing logistical complexity. In this context, it is identified the need to fill an existing gap, the understanding of the impact of infrastructure-related variables on the performance evaluation of ports and containerized cargo terminals.
The focus is on immediate adaptation and preparing ports for future challenges in containerized cargo movement. The guiding research question is: "How do infrastructure-related variables influence the performance of these facilities?" The overarching objective is to analyse and identify critical variables in the infrastructure dimension affecting performance, with the aim of highlighting opportunities for improvement in efficiency and competitiveness in containerized cargo movement.
The research confines its scope to the internal areas of ports, emphasizing facilities and processes related to infrastructure and superstructure. Variables such as storage capacity, physical arrangement, number of berths, STS cranes, as well as the use of automation technologies in container handling are considered. The analysis also encompasses specific investments in this dimension.
The study's justification underscores the importance of raising awareness among port authorities and the Brazilian government regarding the need to optimize port operations. Efficiency in containerized cargo movement is crucial for global competitiveness, and understanding infrastructure variables will empower port managers to make informed decisions. The study aims to drive operational efficiency and prepare Brazilian ports to tackle emerging challenges in the sector.

A few years ago, we experienced, worldwide, a pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, which had various effects, both physically, emotionally and mentally. During the pandemic, various measures were established to reduce the high contagion among people caused by the virus, restricting contact between people and their activity. Fishing was declared an essential activity and, therefore, could fully develop its commercial activity.
In this work we propose to analyze the effects that carrying out fishing activities may have had on maritime accidents in a context marked by uncertainty, the decrease in certain activities, and fear, emphasized by an extreme volume of information. and great media coverage. Under pre-pandemic conditions, the majority of serious maritime accidents in Spain were associated with fishing vessels, and we look here to see if there is an effect of the pandemic restrictions on the number and typology of maritime accidents.

Two global processes affect all developments in our lives already today, most likely their influence in both the short and long term will continue to grow and will force us to consider the challenges and consequences arising from them more and more. These two global processes are, on the one hand, climate change and, on the other hand, the rapid development of digital technologies and the related large-scale digital transformation. Digital transformation is not only a technological innovation, but, like climate change, affects all processes related to human activity, including in the maritime sector. According to the general opinion, climate change is considered as a negative phenomenon and digitization as a positive factor to reduce the negative effects of climate change. It is often even believed that new, mainly digital technologies, and automation are the main “magic wand” with which humanity can stop negative climate-related developments and prevent the worst that could happen. But are all accompanying risks that affect the overall picture always considered? The authors of this paper examine one of the important parts of maritime, which is the transportation of goods by sea, and try to point out not only the positive aspects but also the challenges of digitization, including in the context of environmental impacts. The results of the study conducted are not as clear-cut as one might think; the interactions between climate change and maritime digitization processes are more complex than it might seem at first glance, and in different situations they can affect each other in different ways. The authors of the paper go through the different stages of the process of shipping goods by sea and try to give an assessment of possible factors emerging during the digitization of maritime transport, mainly in the context of climate change impacts and combating them.

Trade globalization, the increase in container ship size, and the competitive nature of the maritime industry have rendered port selection a complex decision – making process that involves many criteria. Port selection by container shipping lines is a strategic decision integral to their route and network planning, significantly influencing the operational and business performance of the organization. Contemporary scholarly literature, although addressing diverse facets of port selection by container shipping lines, lacks in offering a detailed and comprehensive analysis that encompasses a range of research methodologies, maritime and hinterland port elements, carbon reduction strategies, and available sustainability alternatives in container shipping networks. This paper presents a retrospective review of port choice from the perspective of container shipping lines by the combination of bibliometric and content analysis approaches. The bibliometric approach utilized by the bibliometrix package in the R software revealed the most relevant articles related to port choice. The bibliographic coupling approach in VOSviewer revealed five research clusters: (1) Port performance evaluation; (2) Environmental considerations in liner networks; (3) Port choice dynamics; (4) Port competitiveness; and (5) Strategic decision – making in global shipping networks. Content analysis of the most impactful articles in each research cluster provides findings forming a solid foundation of insights for the sustainable development of port choice from the perspective of container shipping lines.

Future trends in marine technology include recent advances in v4.0 Industry such as 3D printing. The benefits of additive manufacturing are piece optimisation, weight reduction and ease prototyping. As a result, this technology has the potential to outperform the conventionally manufactured pieces due to their properties. 
Thus, one of the advantages of this technology is the ability to design and print specific pieces while the ship is in operation, thus allowing it to make a temporary repair until a replacement can be obtained or even a permanent repair depending on the properties required for correct operation. 
In this context, the proper material choice is of the utmost importance, therefore in this work we analyze which materials are most suitable to make prototypes aboard. 
In order to illustrate possible cases, a critical analysis of some ship's components is carried out in order to study the required properties and identify the best materials for repairing and maintenance aboard.
