Published: June 2024

The rapid growth driven by urbanization has increased the demand for vehicles and machines, leading to more fuel usage and the establishment of additional filling stations. While filling stations are essential, they can also pose safety risks and have strict location guidelines. This study utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to analyze the placement of fuel stations in Onitsha North and South local government areas, Anambra state. The objectives include gathering spatial and attribute data, creating a functional spatial database, and conducting spatial and attribute queries for locational analysis while ensuring compliance with petroleum safety regulations. The methodology involved acquiring primary and secondary data, importing georeferenced digital imagery into ArcGIS for road network digitization, and performing GIS analysis such as buffering operations and spatial queries. The results of the analysis showed a clustered pattern of filling stations, with 45% adhering to the 15-meter setback rule from roads and 55% not in compliance. Additionally, 13 filling stations complied with the 400-meter spacing rule, while 104 did not. 95% of the filling stations were less than 50 meters away from residential buildings. Many lacked essential safety equipment, with 82% missing fire extinguishers at each pump and 70% lacking sand buckets at each pump. In conclusion, the study recommends that regulatory bodies conduct frequent inspections of filling stations to ensure compliance with recommended safety measures and the installation of necessary equipment.

Published: June 2024

Voltage sag, swell and harmonic distortion are the key power quality concerns addressed by the distribution network. The presence of non-linear loads and renewable energy sources like solar, wind etc. is the reason for power quality issues. These necessitates the need for the development of a power quality conditioner to compensate the effects of these power quality problems. Hence a Dynamic Voltage Restorer is developed and deployed to improve power quality by decreasing harmonics and adjusting for voltage swell and sag. DVR control is achieved by regulating the load voltage under a variety of unexpected working conditions. Artificial Neural Network controller based DVR is carried out. The simulation results show that the Artificial Neural Networks based DVR with a THD of 2.84 % outperforms the PI-based controller THD of 4.48%.

Published: June 2024

In the increasingly interconnected digital landscape, third-party vendors play a critical role in providing essential services and capabilities to organizations. However, these external partnerships also introduce significant IT security risks, making it imperative for organizations to implement robust strategies for managing third-party vendor risks. This paper provides a comprehensive audit review of third-party vendor risks in IT security and outlines effective mitigation strategies. The audit review identifies key risk areas associated with third-party vendors, including data breaches, inadequate security controls, and compliance issues. Real-world case studies highlight the severe consequences of insufficient vendor risk management, such as substantial financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Through these examples, the review underscores the critical need for organizations to prioritize vendor risk management in their IT security frameworks. Recommended mitigation strategies are detailed, focusing on enhancing security controls, implementing regular security assessments, and establishing clear contractual agreements. Enhancing security controls involves rigorous vetting of vendors, enforcing strong authentication and encryption protocols, and ensuring vendors adhere to the organization's security policies. Regular security assessments, including audits and penetration testing, are crucial for identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring continuous compliance with security standards. Establishing clear contractual agreements with vendors helps define security expectations, responsibilities, and penalties for non-compliance, thereby creating a legal framework that supports robust risk management. The importance of continuous monitoring and oversight is emphasized, highlighting that effective third-party risk management is not a one-time activity but an ongoing process. Continuous monitoring involves real-time tracking of vendor performance and security posture, supported by automated tools and regular audits to promptly address emerging threats. This paper concludes by stressing the necessity for organizations to adopt a proactive approach to third-party vendor risk management, integrating it as a core component of their overall IT security strategy. By doing so, organizations can mitigate the risks associated with third-party vendors, protect sensitive data, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, ultimately safeguarding their operations and reputation in the digital age.

Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system that is widely practiced by farmers because it does not require much capital for its activities. However, the impact of shifting cultivation activities is quite large, especially on forest destruction. To control the impact of shifting cultivation practices is to introduce the agroforestry model to farmers. Agroforestry is a farming model that combines agricultural crops and forestry crops. The aim of the activity is to provide insight and understanding to farmers/cultivators who practice shifting cultivation so that they can reduce shifting cultivation activities. A total of 20 representatives from 20 families or 25% of the total number of families in Imabatai village were involved in intensive activities. This activity also involved female representatives, namely 10 people representing 10 families, while 10 men were involved representing 10 families. Participants really responded to this training, because it was something new for farmers. So far, participants have focused more on agricultural systems that rely more on business patterns that only focus on agricultural crops. Apart from that, the aspect of understanding the training material was very good, because 85% of participants were able to answer the evaluation questions well. The future hope is that participants can immediately try to practice agroforestry or dusung because it is very promising to increase farmers' income in the future when harvest time comes. Apart from that, agroforestry practices can reduce the impact of shifting cultivation which leads to the formation of critical land.

The purpose of this study is to employ a spatial metric approach to analyse land cover/land use patterns in the Wae Riuapa watershed from 2015 to 2022. This study was carried out using two levels of analysis. First, a spatial analysis utilising Geographic Information System (GIS) software was used to identify the land cover/land use classes at the research locations in 2015 and 2022. Landsat 8 imagery from 2015 and Landsat 9 imaging from 2022 are the data used. Using spatial metrics techniques, the second step of analysis in this study examined spatial patterns of land cover and land use. With an area of 15184.70 Ha in 2015 and 13587.09 Ha in 2022, secondary dryland forests led the land cover/land use class, according to the statistics. Density and continuity are seen to be declining in spatial patterns, whereas fragmentation indicators are rising. This demonstrates that because of the fragmentation of the greatest land cover/land use class resulting from several land use conversion activities, the spatial link between patches tends to be disconnected and the distance between clusters rises.

Published: June 2024

AKA Farm is an urban agriculture-based silver catfish hatchery enterprise in Bogor Regency. AKA Farm has successfully met local demand for silver catfish fry production by utilizing limited space within vacant houses in Cihideung Ilir village. The comprehensive facilities, including electricity, wells, roads, and drainage channels, support the success of this operation. Challenges in the silver catfish hatchery are associated with low efficiency and responsiveness due to the complexity of the production process, resulting in suboptimal harvest outcomes. The primary contribution of this research lies in developing and implementing an innovative IoT-based monitoring and control system to address water quality conditions, as fluctu­ations in water temperature and pH significantly impact fish metabolism and survival. The main objective of this study is to improve efficiency and responsiveness in the hatchery process, aiming for optimal harvest out­comes. The integrated system utilizes the Blynk application for real-time moni­toring and control. Another advantage of the system is its automation; when the temperature and pH are not optimal, the actuators automatically optimize the aquarium conditions according to applicable standards. The actuators control heating lamps and release acidic or basic solutions. The system performs real-time and remote monitoring and control, reducing delays in responding to changes in the aquarium environment ultimately sub­stantially improving the survival and growth of silver catfish. Impli­cations of this research include assisting farmers in saving time and energy while increasing the productivity of silver catfish hatcheries. The study also reinforces the system's ability to create reliable water quality, supporting the well-being of silver catfish and ultimately enhancing performance in urban farming.
Intelligent optimisation for multi-objectives flexible manufacturing cells formation
Authors: Purnomo Muhammad Ridwan Andi , Widodo Imam Djati , Zukhri Zainudin
Published: June 2024

The primary objective of conventional manufacturing cell formation typically uses grouping efficiency and efficacy measurement to reduce voids and exceptional parts. This objective frequently leads to extreme solutions, such as the persistently significant workload disparity among the manu­facturing cells. It will have a detrimental psychological impact on operators who work in each formed manufacturing cell. The complexity of the problem increases when there is a requirement to finish all parts before the midday break, at which point the formed manufacturing cells can proceed with the following production batch after the break. This research examines the formation of manufacturing cells using two widely recognized intelligent optimization techniques: genetic algorithm (G.A.) and particle swarm optimisation (PSO). The discussed manufacturing system has flexible machines, allowing each part to have multiple production routing options. The optimisation process involved addressing four simultaneous objectives: enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of the manufacturing cells, minimizing the deviation of manufacturing cells working time with the allocated working hours, which is prior to the midday break, and ensuring a balanced workload for the formed manufacturing cells. The optimisation results demonstrate that the G.A. outperforms the PSO method and is capable of providing manufacturing cell formation solutions with an efficiency level of 0.86, efficacy level as high as 0.64, achieving a minimum lateness of only 24 minutes from the completion target before midday break and a maximum difference in workload as low as 49 minutes.

Authors: Sjahruddin Herman , Dahlan Ahmad Faisal
Published: June 2024

This study addresses the critical problem of identifying optimal business locations for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), a decision-making process by factors such as travel time uncertainty, natural disasters, and population density. Existing research in this area has not adequately addressed these complexities, leaving a knowledge gap that this study aims to fill. Our research employs two optimization methods, differential evolu­tion (DE) and mixed integer programming (MIP), to maximize customer coverage. We present a comprehensive model that not only determines optimum and near-optimum business locations but also investigates the scalability of the algorithms with increasing facilities and their adaptability to different traffic scenarios. Key findings indicate that the DE algorithm, in particular, demonstrates superior coverage performance. This study contributes to the field by providing a robust and adaptable model for facility location problem-solving. The insights gained have practical applications for both academia and industry, aiding SMEs in making informed, strategic decisions about business location placement.

Published: June 2024

Kışın gelişiyle ölen ve her baharda yeniden dirilen, üzüm bağlarının ve şarabın koruyucusu olan bereket tanrısı Dionysos adına düzenlenen törenlerden köken alan tragedyalar, insanın acılarına ve esas olarak bir ana karakterin başına gelen korkunç ve kederli olaylara dayanan sanatsal bir türdür. Tiyatronun ilk örneklerinden olan tragedyalar, ibadet ve hikâye anlatımı için başvurulan bir aktarım biçimi olarak ilk insan topluluklarıyla başlamış olsa da bunların diyalog, şarkı ve dans gibi tekniklerle yetkinleştirilmesi Antik Yunan döneminde gerçekleşmiştir. Genel bir kabulle muthostan logosa geçişin temelini oluşturan tragedyaların en ünlü temsilcileri ise Aiskhylos, Sophokles ve Euripides’dir. Aristoteles tarafından aktarılan bilgilere göre, mimesis yoluyla betimlenen soylu eylemlerin uyandırdığı olumsuz duygulardan arınmayı sağlayan tragedyalar, bir sanat yapıtı olmanın yanında evreni, doğayı ve insanı anlamanın ve açıklamanın yolunu işaret eder. Bu makalede, tragedyanın ilk ortaya çıkışından itibaren nasıl bir gelişim seyri izlediği üzerinde durulacaktır. Bu doğrultuda kavramın etimolojisine değinilecek, mevcut tarihsel koşullar aktarılacak ve Aiskhylos, Sophokles ile Euripides tarafından meydana getirilen ilk örnekler hakkında genel bilgiler verilecektir. Böylece insan doğasına ilişkin birçok temayı konu edinen tragedyaların niteliğinin Antik Çağ’dan Orta Çağ’a nasıl bir değişim gösterdiği değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Published: June 2024

Tunisia is known as a Muslim country with a progressive Islamic family law order. Progressiveness is shown by efforts to change the rules of the male and female inheritance sections. The standard concept of Islamic inheritance in the division of inheritance between men and women is 2:1, in this case Tunisia seeks to change it to be equal between men and women. This research discusses the Inconsistency of Islamic Family Law in Muslim Countries: A One to One Inheritance Study in Tunisia. This research is a normative-empirical legal research that combines the nature of normative law accompanied by empirical data. The findings of this study suggest at least two main findings as answers to the two problem formulations stated at the outset. First, Islamic family law in Tunisia which is manifested in the form of Majallah al Aḥwāl Asy Syakhṣiyyah (MAS) often gets changes along with changes in the political forces in power in the country. One of the major parts of MAS is the provision for inheritance distribution between men and women as stipulated in article 146, which is considered by one political camp to be unfriendly to women's rights. Second, the potential power of public space legislation is widely used to provide changes to certain regulations, in this case regarding the provisions of inheritance rights for men and women. The feminist camp with the help of public voice succeeded in drafting Aḥkām Tata'allaqu bi at Tasāwiy fī al Mīrāṡ which is addressed to article 146 of the MAS.
THE DYNAMICS OF APPLYING BOTH ISLAMIC AND CONVENTIONAL LAW IN THE INHERITANCE OF BANCEAUY CUSTOMARY VILLAGE
Authors: Kusmayanti Hazar , Suwandono Agus
Published: June 2024

Due to the existence of three distinct systems of inheritance law—civil heirship law, Islamic inheritor ship law, and customary inherited law—Indonesian inheritance law is still pluralistic. There are parallels and variances among the components of inheritance law because there are variations in the legal system governing such inheritance. Finding out how inheritance disputes are resolved in Banceuy Customary Village in relation to Islamic law is the aim of this study. This normative research approach employs descriptive analytical research specifications, which involve describing, analyzing, and putting into practice the relevant legal laws. Research indicates that, even though the indigenous communities in the Banceuy district of Subang are Islamic, the law of parental inheritance appears to apply to the indigenous village. However, the division of inherits appears to be dependent on the affinity system in place, as the group of heirs equally accounted for the relationship of relativity through the male and female lines. This division of inheritance falls under the category of the receptie theory, which was abandoned but held that Muslims are subject to Islamic law if it is accepted or mandated by customary law. The concept of equal inheritance division in the indigenous village of Banceuy, if linked to Islamic law, the author claims, originated from a cooperative agreement that was carried out successively so that it became a customary practice that was initially a disclaimer for the implementation of division of heritage religiously or disclaimed.

Plant-microbe interactions are essential for shaping ecosystems and driving agricultural productivity. Metabolomics has transformed our understanding of these interactions by offering an unparalleled window into the intricate chemical conversations that dictate their outcomes. This review delves into the diverse array of metabolomics techniques employed to investigate plant-microbe interactions, including cutting-edge approaches like mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and imaging. We also explore the application of state-of-the-art bioinformatics tools, databases, and the burgeoning impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on metabolomics data analysis. By seamlessly integrating metabolomics with other omics approaches, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metagenomics, we can construct a holistic picture of the molecular underpinnings that shape plant-microbe interactions. Furthermore, we highlight the vital complementary role of fluxomics in illuminating the dynamic nature of metabolic networks. Despite the challenges inherent in data analysis, integration, and interpretation, metabolomics has catalyzed a quantum leap in our understanding of the multifaceted roles metabolites play in sculpting plant-microbe interactions. As metabolomics technologies continue to evolve and synergize with other omics approaches, we stand on the cusp of revolutionary discoveries that will unravel these complex interactions and ultimately usher in transformative strategies for sustainable agriculture and biotechnology.

Purpose: Previous work has shown that judgments of emotion differ between clear and conversational speech, particularly for perceived anger. The current study examines talker differences in perceived emotion for a database of talkers producing clear and conversational speech. Method: A database of 41 talkers was used to assess talker differences in six emotion categories (“Anger”, “Fear”, “Disgust”, “Happiness”, “Sadness”, and “Neutral”). Twenty-six healthy young adult listeners rated perceived emotion in 14 emotionally-neutral sentences produced in clear and conversational styles by all talkers in the database. Generalized linear mixed-effects modeling was utilized to examine talker differences in all six emotion categories. Results: There was a significant effect of speaking style for all emotion categories, and substantial talker differences existed after controlling for speaking style in all categories. Additionally, many emotion categories, including anger, had significant talker x style interactions. Perceived anger was significantly higher in clear speech compared to conversational speech for 85% of the talkers.Conclusions: While there is a large speaking style effect for perceived anger, the magnitude of the effect varies between talkers. The perception of negatively-valenced emotions in clear speech, including anger, may result in unintended interpersonal consequences for those utilizing clear speech as a communication facilitator. Further research is needed to examine potential acoustic sources of perceived anger in clear speech.
Calculation of Individual Sustainable Absorption for IMACS
Authors: Dert Vincent
Published: June 2024

This article describes the first universally standardized and first-principals-based method to calculate the amounts of environmental and human resources an individual can use sustainably. The sustainable available resource amount calculated for each resource type used, must be deducted from the individual’s resource consumption to calculate the net resource use of the individual’s labor output. Besides resources used, the Individual Sustainable Absorption (ISA) also depends on the amount of conservation that is applied to render the use of the resource sustainable. The same applies to restoration applied to offset current and historic damage done. The ISA calculation is the essential element of the Individual Supply Chain Step (ISCS) calculation which is in turn part of the Impact Measurement and Conservation System (IMACS). Sustainably available resource use and protection applied as well as the required amounts of restoration applied to historic damage can be calculated and must be deducted as ISA and thus removed from the supply chain. The ISA calculation allows the calculation of the excess (non-sustainable) resource use as well as the net amounts of current damage done and historic damage assigned to individuals. The ISA is calculated based on the EH-impacts of the consumption for each individual and their comparison to the EH-impacts of the consumption for a 100% sustainable (= reference) individual. The combination of the ISCS inputs and the calculated ISA, allows calculation of the environ-humane (EH) impacts of the labor output of the individual, which in turn allows the calculation of the (EH) impacts of products and services. Implementation of IMACS allows a potentially fast return to pre-industrial environmental conditions (e.g. reversal of global warming and restoration of global biodiversity and elimination of water scarcity) and allows large improvements in human conditions.
Impact Measurement and Application of Conservation System (IMACS)

This article describes the first “first principals’ based” system of methods for the calculation of environmental (E) and human condition (H) impacts and sustainabilities for all products, services and individuals as a set of universally standardized methods, earlier published as a patent application (1). The overall system allows buyers to select more sustainable products and services, and allows end-user consumers to apply conservation rendering the product or service purchased free of damaging environ-human (EH) impacts. It includes EH impacts contributed by employees and other parts of the organization. The system carries EH impact variables through the supply chain as an extension of the price variables “currency” and “monetary amount”. Similar to the calculation and payment of prices and salaries, the system runs in real time and allows calculation of EH impacts at very low costs. The system has the potential to create very large amounts of funding for conservation, may prevent nature from being pushed past tipping points from which no return is possible (2) and potentially allows a relative fast return to pre-industrial environmental conditions, while improving human conditions and saving costs.

In this study we assessed the construct validity of the recently published White Racial Affect Scale (WRAS; Grzanka et al., 2020). Specifically, we assessed the convergent, criterion related, and incremental evidence for construct validity of the White guilt, White shame, and White defensiveness (called “White negation” in the original paper) factors. We used a video stimulus to trigger state guilt and shame in participants as part of the construct validity investigation. White adults in the U.S. signed up for the study online (N=262) and watched a 5-minute video stimulus and completed questionnaires before and after the video. Results of this study replicated many of the findings from the original WRAS validation study (Grzanka et al., 2020). We found strong evidence of construct validity for the White guilt and White defensiveness factors and mixed evidence for the White shame factor. We discuss directions for future research and implications for potential interventions.

O uso de tecnologias vem avançando em diferentes áreas de estudos. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar o uso de drone em análises quali-quantitativas da arborização viária da Avenida da Amizade em Tabatinga-AM, estabelecendo critérios para tornar a obtenção dos dados mais confiáveis. Para o estudo foi selecionada a principal via da cidade, a Avenida da Amizade, na qual foi realizado o levantamento o censo, da forma tradicional, com a caminhada na via e, por meio do drone, com parada para obtenção das imagens a cada 500 metros, aproximadamente. Foram coletados dados fitossociológicos, morfométricos e fitossanitários. Para a obtenção dos dados adotou-se a altura de 60m do drone ao solo. O levantamento com o uso do drone possibilitou melhor visualização das condições de copa. A espécie mais abundante na Avenida da Amizade é o Ficus benjamina. As imagens aéreas não se mostraram eficazes quanto à caracterização de fitossanidade e a morfometria. Porém, a imagens permitiram a quantificação de 98% do total de indivíduos e 80% quando analisado a identificação de cada espécie.
RESPOSTA DE MUDAS DE GUARANÁ À FONTES DE ADUBAÇÃO NITROGENADA
Authors: Ana Caroline de Jesus de Castro et al.
Published: June 2024

O nitrogênio é um nutriente essencial para as plantas, e a forma de nitrogênio fornecido em adubação para as plantas pode interferir positiva ou negativamente no crescimento e produção vegetal. Entre as razões para a baixa produtividade de guaranazeiros no Amazonas, encontra-se a falta de adoção de tratos culturais adequados, como exemplo adubação. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do tipo de fonte de nitrogênio no crescimento e desenvolvimento de mudas de guaranazeiro. Mudas da cultivar BRS-Marabitana receberam adubação em solução nutritiva, contendo todos os nutrientes essenciais e diferentes proporções de nitrato e amônio na concentração final de 7 mmol L-1 de N, caracterizando-se os tratamentos, sendo: C – controle (sem N); T1 – nitrato 100%; T2 – Nitrato 50% e Amônio 50%; T3 – Amônio 100%. Após 60 dias avaliou-se as trocas gasosas, nutrientes no tecido foliar e teor de metilxantinas e catequinas. O tratamento com amônio apresentou maior eficiência fotoquímica (PSII) que os demais, assim como maior concentração de P nas folhas. A fotossíntese das plantas dos tratamentos com fornecimento de nitrogênio foi superior à das plantas do tratamento controle. Bem como as plantas adubadas exclusivamente com nitrato assimilaram mais nitrogênio nas folhas, mas isso não refletiu no acumulo de metilxantinas. Com base nos resultados obtidos não é possível indicar a preferência do guaranazeiro pela fonte N fornecido, sendo necessários estudos complementares considerando diferentes doses e tempo de exposição ao adubo.
