Identifying urban settlement archetypes: clustering for enhanced multi-risk exposure and vulnerability analysis
Authors: Tocchi Gabriella , Pittore Massimiliano , Polese Maria
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Identification of risks and vulnerabilities in urban areas is crucial for supporting city authorities in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. Moreover, comparison of risk assessments across different cities may help effective allocation of adaptation funding towards more resilient and sustainable cities. The distinct physical, social, economic, and environmental characteristics of a city, along with the relevance of impending hazards, determine the level of risk and vulnerability faced by its residents. While the results of urban risk assessments will vary from one city to another, using general urban typologies (e.g. coastal cities, dryland cities, and inland or high-altitude cities) can effectively support in the understanding of risk in relation to its key drivers, helping to segmentate the complexity in otherwise too broad problem (Dickson et al., 2012). This study aims to reduce complexity in urban risk assessment at regional and national scale, ensure a baseline for comparison and identify potential hotspots in multi-hazard and multi-risk assessment frameworks. We propose a clustering methodology that groups urban settlements based on open-source data, used as proxies of urban vulnerability and exposure. Applying two widely used clustering techniques, we define 18 urban archetypes for the Italian territory, incorporating geographic, demographic, and socio-economic characteristics. These archetypes satisfy multiple validity dimensions of archetype analysis (Piemontese et al., 2022) and can serve as a valuable tool for policymakers. By providing a structured understanding of urban vulnerability profiles, they support the design of targeted interventions and urban resilience strategies tailored to specific risk conditions.
Non-asymptotic distributions of water extremes: much ado about what?
Authors: Serinaldi Francesco , Lombardo Federico , Kilsby Chris G.
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Non-asymptotic (𝒩𝒜) probability distributions of block maxima (BM) have been proposed as an alternative to asymptotic distributions of BM derived by means of classic extreme-value theory (EVT). Their advantage should be the inclusion of moderate quantiles, as well as of extremes, in the inference procedures. This would increase the amount of information used and reduce the uncertainty characterizing the inference based on short samples of BM or peaks over high thresholds. In this study, we show that the 𝒩𝒜 distributions of BM suffer from two main drawbacks that make them of little usefulness for practical applications. Firstly, unlike classic EVT distributions, 𝒩𝒜 models of BM imply the preliminary definition of their conditional parent distributions, which explicitly appears in their expression. However, when such conditional parent distributions are known or estimated, the unconditional parent distribution is readily available, and the corresponding 𝒩𝒜 distribution of BM is no longer needed as it is just an approximation of the upper tail of the parent. Secondly, when declustering procedures are used to remove autocorrelation characterizing hydroclimatic records, 𝒩𝒜 distributions of BM devised for independent data are strongly biased even if the original process exhibits low or moderate autocorrelation. On the other hand, 𝒩𝒜 distributions of BM accounting for autocorrelation are less biased but still of little practical usefulness. Such conclusions are supported by theoretical arguments, Monte Carlo simulations, and re-analysis of sea level data.

Published: February 2025

In the 21st century, particularly in regions like Pakistan, critical challenges such as water scarcity, rising gas costs, and the severe effects of climate change have become increasingly urgent. To tackle these issues, numerous IoT-based systems are being developed globally to promote efficient resource management and sustainability.  However, many of the currently available IoT solutions, such as 1NCE's Smart Utilities Management, Semtech's LoRa® Technology for Smart Utilities, and Robustel's Utility Management Solutions, are often expensive. These systems require specialized and costly appliances for their functionality, making them less accessible to average users, especially in regions with limited resources [1].  In contrast, the IoT-based Smart Utility Control System offers a more affordable and accessible alternative. This system integrates seamlessly with a smartphone-based Android application, utilizing Firebase as its platform. By eliminating the need for expensive supportive appliances, it provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for managing utilities like water and energy. The system is designed to ensure convenience, promote resource conservation, and support households in addressing challenges related to resource scarcity and rising costs, particularly in economically vulnerable regions. With two key modules, our proposed solution addresses critical issues households in Pakistan and similar regions face. The first module wireless connectivity of water tanks focuses on water monitoring and control, offering real-time monitoring of water levels in main and supply tanks. In a country facing diminishing water resources, our system's ability to alert users to low water levels and remotely control water motors can help prevent wastage and ensure efficient water usage, thereby mitigating the effects of water scarcity. The second module monitors and controls the gas geyser for energy-efficient preheating and remote operation. Through the mobile app, users can adjust and schedule the operation of the geyser according to their preferences. This includes setting specific times for the geyser to switch on or off, optimizing energy usage, and ensuring hot water availability. By providing this level of control and flexibility, our system promotes energy efficiency and enhances user convenience and comfort.

Repercussões das decisões do STF em controle concentrado de constitucionalidade sobre os atos administrativos de que decorram efeitos favoráveis aos beneficiários
Authors: da Silva Klauck Diego Jean
Published: February 2025

This text explores the evolution of the system of precedents in Brazilian law, highlighting the growing importance of binding judicial precedents, especially after the enactment of the Civil Procedure Code of 2015. Doctrine and specialized jurisprudence indicate that, although Brazil maintains the tradition of civil law, precedents are becoming central elements in the formation of the law, reducing the idea that codified law is the only source of law. Constitutional control does not escape this trend, as the decisions of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) generally have binding and retroactive effect, directly impacting administrative acts. The theme of the implications of STF decisions for the legal security of the administered arises in this context, especially in matters of revocation and annulment of administrative acts. The consequences of binding decisions are analyzed in light of constitutional principles such as legal certainty, good faith, and the protection of acquired rights. The need to balance the principle of legality with legal certainty stands out, presenting a challenge for legal practitioners and implying different interpretations regarding the application of STF decisions on the validity of administrative acts. It is concluded that although the power to modulate the effects of binding decisions is a prerogative of the STF, the nuances of concrete cases must be taken into account to ensure the protection of the administered and the stability of legal relations, without sacrificing the system of constitutional control and the formal and material supremacy of the Federal Constitution.
Keywords: Binding precedentes. Administrative acts. Legal certainty.
Autonomia decisória feminina, intersubjetividade humana em tempos de sociedade do controle e de inteligência artificial
Authors: Zilio Daniela , Wenczenovicz Thais Janaina
Published: February 2025

This study presents as categories of reflection the female decision-making autonomy and its formation based on human intersubjectivity in times of the Society of Control and Artificial Intelligence. The general objective is to investigate the formation of female decision-making autonomy based on human intersubjectivity in times of the Society of Control and Artificial Intelligence. The article uses the bibliographic-investigative methodological procedure. As a result of the research, it can be stated that technological development, the internet and online facilities can be extremely beneficial, including due to the infinite information available free of charge on the network. This also applies to the information necessary for the formation of decision-making autonomy. However, on the other hand, one must be aware of the power exercised over decisions, which is done invisibly based on the infinite possibilities of artificial intelligence that exist today, in what can be called the Society of Control. Vulnerable groups suffer even more from such interference, and special attention must be paid to gender discussions and the formation of female decision-making autonomy.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes into specific brain regions to treat brain disorders. Accurate reconstruction of electrode placement is crucial for treatment optimization. Several systems, such as Lead-DBS, have been developed to reconstruct DBS electrodes, and typically require expert user input. However, open DBS datasets with reference electrode localizations are not available, posing a challenge to train research personnel on accurate use of these methods. In this paper, we introduce Lead-Tutor, an open-access educational resource that combines an imaging dataset of anonymized DBS cases with a software tool for self-teaching. This resource includes a dataset of pre- and post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans from ten patients with DBS implants. Along with this dataset, we provide a means for users to practice and enhance their electrode localization skills through the Lead-DBS pipeline. Aimed at new scientists in the DBS field, Lead-Tutor is a comprehensive resource available within Lead-DBS that promotes open science and education for enhanced reproducibility and potential clinical applications.

Представлены зависимости и графики температуры горения смеси коксового и природного газов при различных объемных долях компонентов от показателя избытка воздуха при горении. Рассмотрены интервалы значений энтальпии продуктов сгорания смеси коксового и природного газов при избытке воздуха и проведено сравнение энтальпий для двух вариантов газовой смеси. Показано, что сжигание газовой смеси на основе коксового газа рассматриваемого состава в камере сгорания ГТУ теоретически может обеспечить стабильную работу турбины на уровне задаваемой мощности.

The article compares the main thermodynamic parameters of coke gas combustion products of the Ural Steel JSC enterprise with the corresponding atmospheric air indicators. It is shown that the combustion products of the coke gas in question and its mixture with natural gas can be considered as air in most thermodynamic calculations, which makes it possible to compare the characteristics of gas turbine engine operation on different types of fuels. The dependencies and graphs of the combustion temperature of the mixture of coke and natural gas with various volumetric fractions of the components from the indicator of excess air during burning are presented. The ranges of enthalpy values of combustion products of a mixture of coke and natural gases with an excess of air are considered and the enthalpy values for two variants of the gas mixture are compared. It is shown that the combustion of a gas mixture based on coke oven gas of the considered composition in the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine can theoretically ensure stable operation of the turbine at the level of the specified power.
Analisis Penerapan Bea Masuk Anti Dumping oleh Australia terhadap Clear Float Glass Indonesia
Authors: Maheralia Resti
Published: February 2025

Australia has implemented Anti-Dumping Duties (ADD) on import of Clear Float Glass (CFG) from Indonesia since 2011. In the initial imposition, Indonesia was subject to 3.3% - 22.4% ADD, whereas in 2021 Indonesia was subject to 15.3% - 28.3% ADD. Until 2024, it is recorded that Australia has extended the imposition of ADD on CFG originating from Indonesia twice, namely in 2016 and 2021, where the aforesaid imposition will due in 2026. This study intends to elaborate a review of Australia's imposition of CFG ADD in terms of the export performance of Indonesia. This study utilizes a descriptive analysis method based on research sourced from the Australian Anti-Dumping Commission report and related literatures. According to the analysis, it was concluded that Australia's imposition of ADD on CFG products from Indonesia diminishes Indonesia’s CFG export to the Australian market, and on the contrary, there was a raise in Indonesia’s CFG exports to other countries that does not implement ADD. It is expected that the Indonesian government can collaborate optimally with exporters of goods under investigation to defend Indonesia's position during the ongoing anti-dumping investigation.

This study aims to identify Indonesia’s foreign trade policy reforms and analyze their impact on its foreign trade performance. This study focuses on the reforms of policy in foreign trade that includes the policies and regulations of both the export and the import sector after the Constitutions of Job Creation (UU Cipta Kerja) enforced. Descriptive and statistical analysis used in this study. Descriptive analysis is intended to identify any fundamental changes related to the regulations of foreign trade. Then, statistical analyses that consist of Paired T-Test and Correlations Test, are aim to capture the differences in the average of exports, imports, and trade balance value before and after the enactment of Minister of Trade Regulation Number 19 of 2021 concerning Export Policies and Regulations and the Minister of Trade Regulation Number 20 of 2021 concerning Import Policies and Regulation, and to find out the relationship between import and export activities. Based on descriptive analysis, the results show that fundamental changes occurred were the form of system changes, the simplification of licensing application requirements, and positive fictitious principles. Besides, based on the Paired T-Test, there is a difference between the average of export, import, and trade balance value before and after the Minister of Trade Regulations enforced. This indicates that the regulations have an impact on the value of exports, imports, and trade balance, which their value had increased after the implementation of the regulations. Furthermore, through correlation analysis, it is proven that the value of imports is positively correlated with the value of exports. So that, the value of imports is closely related to the increase of exports value. In other words, an increase in the value of imports followed by a higher increase in the value of exports, can increase the value of the trade balance.
Retos ambientales y urbanísticos: Ubicación de asentamientos irregulares sin datos cuantificables, el caso de Xalapa, Veracruz
Authors:   Universidad Veracruzana, Uehara Guerrero Ma Guadalupe Noemi
Published: February 2025

Uno de los principales desafíos en la planificación urbana de Xalapa, Veracruz, es la integración efectiva de asentamientos irregulares al tejido urbano existente, asegurando el acceso a servicios básicos y oportunidades laborales. Este proceso no solo requiere inversiones en infraestructura tales como agua, saneamiento, electricidad y vialidades, sino que también enfrenta el reto de equilibrar la urbanización con la conservación de áreas de alto valor ecológico. Esta dinámica presenta un dilema entre el desarrollo y la sostenibilidad ambiental, especialmente en contextos donde la urbanización conlleva riesgos ambientales significativos, como inundaciones y deslizamientos.
Esta investigación examina el crecimiento espacial de los asentamientos irregulares en Xalapa, resaltando los retos urbanísticos y los riesgos ambientales asociados. Mediante un enfoque metodológico mixto que incluye análisis espacial por (SIG), se proporciona una visión detallada de las dinámicas que promueven la expansión de estos asentamientos y las consecuentes implicaciones sociales y ambientales. Los hallazgos sugieren que la expansión es impulsada por la escasez de vivienda asequible, la migración interna, la especulación del suelo y la intervención de grupos organizados con agendas políticas que intervienen en la gestión de la urbanización, sin resolver la crisis de vivienda existente.
El estudio identifica necesidades críticas en la gestión y planificación urbana, como políticas de vivienda inclusiva, la regularización de la tenencia de la tierra y la integración de consideraciones ambientales en el proceso urbanístico. La falta de coordinación entre las políticas de uso de suelo y las estrategias de conservación incrementan tanto los problemas habitacionales como los impactos ambientales negativos.
Entre las soluciones propuestas, se destaca la importancia de contar con datos oficiales cuantificables que permitan a los investigadores evaluar y monitorear las condiciones en áreas urbanas de bajos accesos a servicios. El artículo concluye subrayando la urgencia de abordar los desafíos urbanísticos y los riesgos ambientales en los asentamientos irregulares de Xalapa, mediante políticas integradas que armonicen las necesidades sociales con la sostenibilidad ambiental, orientando el desarrollo hacia un modelo urbano más inclusivo y resiliente.
Research on Mathematical Analysis of Lip Makeup Design
Authors: Park Jeong-Shin
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to establish standardization of measurement methods and weights and measures for lip makeup shape analysis. The research method is based on the average horizontal length of the lips, 5.4 cm. When the lip mountain is point A and the corner of the mouth is point T, the curvature of the lip line is calculated by dividing the shortest distance |BM| from the center point to the straight line AT into the length of the line segment AT. It is a value divided by. The subjects of the study were visual and perceptual out-curve, in-curve, and straight lip makeup images among frontal photos shown on Pinterest. As a result of calculating the curvature in each lip makeup, the length was obtained by making a straight line from the lip peak to the corner of the mouth, and based on this, the curvature of the lips could be obtained. The closer the lip curvature value was to 0, the closer it was to a straight line, the larger the lip curvature value, the thicker the lips were, and the smaller the lip curvature value, the more rhythmic lips. Therefore, it can be empirically confirmed that lip curvature is a mathematical item that indicates the degree of curvature of the lip line, so it is considered an appropriate term to indicate the degree of curvature of the lips. In particular, this paper was able to apply it to identifying the curves of the lip lines shown in photos of five cosmetic models. These research results are based on numerical values such as metrological notation rather than aesthetic speculation in the trend analysis of lip makeup trends and image analysis by shape. It is believed that standardization of specific terminology can be used to present accurate evidence.
Search for Personalized Health and Beauty Care Using DTC Gene Analysis Data
Authors: Choi Esther , Lee Myoung-Joo
Published: February 2025

Genes contain a wealth of genetic information about disease, healthcare, nutrition, diet, exercise, skin/hair, and other traits that make each individual unique. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is a new paradigm shift in the genetic testing space. Most of the methods of health and beauty care so far have been based on the environment rather than considering one’s innate genetic characteristics. If genetic analysis is prioritized in advance, health and beauty care can be more effective and efficient. The purpose of this study is to analyze the latest trends in DTC genetic testing and to explore self-solutions for personalized health and beauty care based on the results of genetic analysis among male and female college students. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of DTC genetic testing in helping young people who are concerned about their appearance and health to manage a healthier and more beautiful life. The questions included analyzing vulnerable items rated as ‘low’ or ‘caution’ in the areas of healthcare, nutrition, diet, exercise, skin/hair, and personal characteristics as a result of DTC genetic testing, exploring self-solutions for personalized healthcare and beauty care, and writing their personal impressions of DTC genetic testing. The results showed that the number of organizations certified for DTC genetic testing by the Ministry of Health and Welfare increased from nine in 2022 to five in 2024, bringing the total number of organizations to 14, and the number of tests expanded from 181 to 190. Participants used genetic testing to understand which nutrients they are vulnerable to, how they can improve problematic health conditions or lifestyle habits, and to explore self-care solutions. While the results of DTC genetic testing varied, a common theme was a newfound awareness that their health, appearance, and habits are inherited. Even if you are born with genes that make you vulnerable in some ways, you can still live a healthy life by developing good habits and supplementing nutrients through environmental factors. Genetic analysis could become an important tool in the future of modern medicine and personalized health care.
The Influence of Middle-aged Men’s Appearance Perception on Their Usage Attitude Toward Men’s Specialty Hair Salons: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Hair Salon Selection Attributes
Authors: Jang In-Soon , Kim Eun-Su
Published: February 2025

This study analyzed the effects of the sub-factors of middle-aged men’s appearance perception, namely “personal interest” and “social influence,” on attitudes toward using men’s specialty hair salons, while also examining the mediating effects of salon selection attributes (store image, marketing, and location convenience). The survey was conducted on 330 middle-aged men aged 40 to 59. The analysis revealed that appearance perception exhibited partial mediating effects on attitudes toward using men’s specialty hair salons through salon selection attributes. However, location convenience did not show a mediating effect in the relationship between “personal interest” and usage attitude. These findings suggest the importance of developing differentiated services that simultaneously address personal interest and social influence as key motivators for middle-aged men’s appearance management. Particularly, the lack of a mediating effect for location convenience in the relationship between personal interest and usage attitude indicates that customers with stronger personal motivations for appearance management may value premium services or personalized spaces over accessibility. Therefore, strategies enhancing location convenience may be more effective for socially driven customers, while personalized premium services should target customers prioritizing personal motivations. This study provides foundational data for establishing differentiated services and marketing strategies reflecting middle-aged men’s appearance perceptions, contributing to the operation of men’s specialty hair salons and the development of the beauty industry.

Does Government Assistance Increase the Yield of Food Crops in Indonesia?
Authors: Prasetyo Octavia Rizky , Kadir Kadir
Published: February 2025

Government assistance has been deployed to help food crop farmers enhance their yields. However, to our knowledge, studies assessing the impact of government assistance on food crop yield using a dedicated nationwide survey in the context of Indonesia are not available yet. Thus, our study aims to contribute to the literature by assessing the impact of government assistance (fertilizers, seeds, and agricultural tools and machinery) on food crops yield using the results of the 2018 and 2021 Crop Cutting Survey conducted by BPS. By applying multinomial logistic regression, we found that the fertilizers and seeds assistance significantly lower the chance of food crop farmers experiencing lower yield, provided that the distribution is on-time and suitable with the need of farmers. In contrast, our findings indicate that the benefit of tools and machinery assistance in enhancing food crop yield has not been optimized. The study recommends a more targeted distribution of tools and machinery assistance by taking into account farmers’ needs, cultivation characteristics, and support for the maintenance and management.

Health Operational Assistance (HOA) is a fund that is used to ease the public burden on financing the health sector, especially services in community health centers, reduction in maternal mortality, infant mortality, and malnutrition. Puskesmas Sirombu as a health service unit is used as a medical center for the welfare of the community, but in reality, the Puskesmas Sirombu has not been optimal in realizing the budgeted funds. This study aims to determine the transparency and accountability of budget execution for Health Operational Assistance (BOK) at the Sirombu Inpatient Health Center in 2021. The research sample was taken using the purposive sampling method (specific goals or criteria). The data analysis technique used is the triangulation method which combines in-depth interviews and document searches and triangulation of sources using different information to cross-check information from several sources, to improve the results of the data obtained when getting different data. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the Puskesmas Sirombu has implemented its transparency and accountability well but has not been optimal in managing the budget for transportation assistance for Health Operational Officers (BOK), this can be seen from the fact that some of the budget was not realized.
Legal Settlement of The Crime of Desertion in Absentia in The Jurisdiction of Military Court I-02
Authors: Nainggolan Yolanda , Esther July
Published: February 2025

One type of criminal offense that is often committed by Indonesian National Army (TNI) Soldiers is the crime of desertion as regulated in Law Number 39 of 1947 concerning the Military Criminal Code (KUHPM) precisely in Article 87 which is an act committed by a TNI Soldier to leave military service without superior permission, at a specified time and place. The crime of desertion has the main characteristic of unauthorized absence committed by an army person at a place. The absence can be in the form of traveling to a place, hiding oneself, crossing the enemy, entering the military service of another country, or deliberately making oneself left behind. The settlement of cases of desertion crimes often finds several problems, one of which is that the person who committed the crime of desertion cannot be found, which causes the examination process to be carried out in the absence of the defendant (In Absentia). In Absentia, an examination is carried out so that the case is resolved quickly to uphold the discipline of soldiers and maintain the integrity of the troops. Including the case of the case submission that was not examined because from the beginning, the defendant fled and was not found again within 6 (six) consecutive months from the date of submission of the case file and 3 (three) consecutive summons efforts have been made. An examination can be conducted and decided without the defendant's presence in court.
Application of the Right of Refusal and Legal Liability in Journalistic Cases
Authors: Lumbanbatu Indri Rovelia , Esther July
Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the application of the right of refusal by journalists and the legal liability arising in journalistic practice in Indonesia. The right of refusal is the right of journalists to protect the identity of sources who provide confidential information. Although regulated in Law No. 40/1999 on the Press, implementing the right of refusal often faces challenges, especially in criminal and civil law. This research uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing laws and regulations, case studies, and relevant court decisions. The results show that law enforcement officials have not fully recognized and respected the right of refusal, and they often force journalists to reveal the identity of sources. In addition, journalists often face lawsuits for their journalistic work, even though they have met the standards of professionalism and the journalistic code of ethics. This study concludes that protecting the right to refuse and legal certainty for journalists needs to be strengthened through revision of regulations, increased legal awareness, and consistent enforcement of the code of ethics. Thus, press freedom can be guaranteed without overriding balanced legal responsibility.

Con el propósito de determinar la prevalencia y el efecto control de dos antihelmínticos sobre Cotylophoron spp. en rebaños bovinos de Mérida-Venezuela, se visitaron cuatro granjas lecheras donde fueron seleccionadas al azar por cada una, 30 vacas de 449,54 ± 59,20 kg promedio y condición corporal media de 2,98 ± 0,62, todas, naturalmente infectadas con Cotylophoron spp. Para el diagnóstico parasitológico, se tomaron muestras fecales directamente del recto y depositadas en bolsas plásticas rotuladas para ser conservadas a 4ºC hasta su llegada al laboratorio; seguidamente, se organizaron aleatoriamente tres grupos conformados por 10 animales cada uno, al primero, le fue administrado vía subcutánea 3 mg de rafoxanida/kg de peso vivo; el siguiente, recibió vía oral la mezcla antihelmíntica 15 mg de oxiclozanida/kg + 7,5 mg de levamisol/kg y, el grupo control, permaneció sin medicación. Para monitorear la efectividad de los fármacos, se realizaron análisis coprológicos mediante la prueba modificada sedimentación y tamizado los días 0, 15, 30, 60 y 90 post-tratamiento, así como el registro de peso corporal La prevalencia de Cotylophoron spp. se ubicó en 97,29 ± 2,19% promediándose 140,5 ± 83,21 huevos en el total de heces evaluadas; entre tanto, los animales desparasitados con oxiclozanida + levamisol mostraron una reducción significativa (P≤0,05) del 92,23 ± 4,70% sobre la carga parasitaria al día 15 del tratamiento, mientras los tratados con rafoxanida redujeron en 43,88 ± 18,80% los huevos presentes en las heces; asimismo, hubo un incremento de peso (P≤0,05) en las vacas que recibieron oxiclozanida + levamisol, un valor muy distante al obtenido entre los animales tratados con rafoxanida y el control, siendo estos estadísticamente similares (P≥0,05). Se concluye que Cotylophoron spp. es resistente al uso de rafoxanida, mientras la mezcla oxiclozanida + levamisol ejerció eficacia reducida para su control.
