EVALUATION OF STEAM-FOAM FLOODING IN MULTI-LAYERED HETEROGENEOUS RESERVOIR
Authors:   , Kekina Chakkit
Published: November 2023

Steamflooding, one of the Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques to perform with heavy oil, provides physical displacement, helps maintain reservoir pressure and delivers heat to oil, resulting in decreasing of oil viscosity and oil is readily to flow. However, steam tends to override the reservoir due to its lighter density compared to oil, leaving bottom part of reservoir non-displaced and therefore, causing poor vertical sweep efficiency. Steam-foam enhances flow properties of steam by creating higher viscosity displacing material, resulting in better sweeping. This study attempts to analyze effects of operational parameters and reservoir heterogeneity. A base case model is constructed as homogeneous model. Operating parameters including foam stability, foam quality, steam quality and steam injection rate are identified. Later, selected operating parameters are performed in various heterogeneity values quantified by Lorenz coefficient to observe effects of reservoir heterogeneity. Simulation results indicate that steam-foam flooding with appropriate adjustment of operating parameters yields beneficial results compared to conventional steamflooding due to enhanced vertical sweeping front. In terms of operating parameters, optimum range of foam half-life which is an indicator for foam stability is suggested to be in between 0.25 and 1 day to avoid low fluid injectivity in foam with high stability and steam overriding in foam with low stability. In case of high foam quality, steam can be injected easily. Condensing steam tends to move downward and leaves certain amount of oil in shallow zone. Whereas low foam quality with higher portion of surfactant solution behaves closer to water and moves slower, leading to low injectivity of the injector. Optimum foam quality is found to be around 0.90. Different steam quality values do not significantly affect oil production but higher steam quality requires more energy to achieve latent heat of steam. Higher steam injection rate yields higher oil recovery which is desirable. However, water also breakthrough earlier, leading to high water-cut in earlier stage of production. In terms of reservoir heterogeneity, fining upward reservoir provides better results than coarsening upward reservoir because low permeability layers on top of reservoir can mitigate steam overriding, leading to better vertical sweeping profile. Moreover, different heterogeneous degree in typical range of Lorenz coefficient values from 0.20 to 0.30 does not provide significantly different results.
Biographical method research in sport
Authors: Dašić Dejan
Published: November 2023

An increasing number of academic fields, including literature, history, sociology, anthropology, social policy, use biographical methods in their studies. These techniques can be labeled by various terms, including autobiography, autoethnography, personal history, oral history, and life story. Biographies help us identify trends as well as unique aspects of life. A key issue in biographical research is objectivity and how to balance the particular and the universal, the individual and the common. The biographical method in sport is an analytical approach used to uncover the history of athletes and their sports organizations and provides an in-depth look at the athlete's place in the world of sport, focusing in particular on the role their personal life and experiences played in their sporting achievements.

The goal of this studious analysis is to determine the extent to which sophisticated technology can be used to improve business operations. Today's time brings daily new and rapid changes in the business environment to which small and medium-sized enterprises in Serbia should adapt as soon as possible, often and on the fly. The defined objectives of the research refer to the assumption that business intelligence with its methods, techniques and tools can improve existing business processes in the company, make them more efficient while reducing overall business costs. Research shows that there are almost no companies that have not incorporated the principles of reengineering, introduction of total quality management (eng. Total Quality Management-TQM), "outsourcing" and the like into their strategies and plans. One of the most appropriate ways to create a competitive advantage for SMEs in Serbia, in the current conditions of the world economic crisis and recession, is the concept of business intelligence (eng. Business Intelligence - BI). The work is based on the original methodological approach to the development and construction of BIS and on the testing of the intelligent system and the critical assessment of its application in the process of managing the enterprise.
Interaction of IL-17A (rs2275913-G/A) and IL-17F (rs763780 T/C) gene variants with acne vulgaris
Authors: Ennad Abbas , Kadhim Manal
Published: November 2023

Objective. Acne vulgaris is a prevalent dermatological disorder with a complex etiology that affects pilosebaceous units and manifests both as inflammatory and noninflammatory skin conditions. The present preliminary study was aimed at evaluating the expression of IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphisms in acne vulgaris patients and their relationship to the severity of the condition. Methods. Sixty acne vulgaris patients and 60 healthy individuals (control group) were recruited for the study. Demographic information was obtained from the participants. Also, blood samples were collected and used to isolate DNA. The detection of IL-17A and IL-17F gene polymorphisms was assessed using tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). Results. There was no significant (p > 0.05) difference between patient and control groups in the correlation between the IL-17A gene polymorphism and acne vulgaris disease in all codominance and recessive modes, but the AA and G/A genotypes can be regarded as risk factors (OR = 2.77 and 2.19, respectively) concerning the etiological fraction (EF = 0.346 and 0.331, respectively). Also, there was no statistically significant (p = 0.275) difference between the two groups in terms of the genotypes and allele frequencies for the IL-17F SNP. However, the risk analysis revealed that the CC (OR = 3.42) and T/C genotypes (OR of 1.37) may be taken into account as risk factors and etiological fractions for acne vulgaris. Conclusion. This preliminary study suggests that AA and G/A genotypes in IL-17A and CC and T/C genotypes in IL17F may be risk factors for acne vulgaris.

Published: November 2023

Air pollution is a challenge faced by a large number of both developed and developing countries. Its consequences are particularly visible in urban areas, where the concentration of cars is the highest. In order to reduce the level of air pollution, one of the steps that should be taken, relates to the greater use of environmentally-friendly modes of transportation, among which are electric bicycles. The results of several studies have shown that substituting cars with electric bicycles can have positive effects on the environment and human health. Accordingly, the paper investigates the intention to purchase electric bicycles with a focus on the student population. It was analyzed in relation to the gender and age of the respondents. The obtained mean value indicates the existence of a relatively high intention of students when it comes to purchasing electric bicycles; hereby it is significantly higher among male respondents. In addition, its association with students' age was identified. After discussing the results, appropriate marketing and financial implications are presented.

In this paper, the seven most important opinions about the punishment ground of complicity in the stricter sense, with special regard to aiding and abetting, have been presented and critically assessed. This involved the following doctrines: The Theory of Participation in the Guilt, the Theory of Participation in the Wrong, Solidarity as Punishment Ground, the Pure Theory of Causation, the Accessoriness-Oriented Theory of Causation, the Theory of the Accessory Attack on the Legal Good, and the Intensification-Principle. Lastly, additional criticism, beyond the officially acknowledged critical voices, has been expressed. It was concluded that the least controversial and at the same time the theory closest to the legal text, therefore the most acceptable one is that of the Accessory Attack on the Legal Good.
Derogations of Article 8 of the European Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms during a state of emergency
Authors: Tubić Bojan , Toroman Aleksandra
Published: November 2023

The right to privacy is one of the fundamental human rights, as it encompasses a wide range of relationships related to the private life of the individual. Starting with the right to family life and the right to private life, many institutions that seem very important nowadays, such as data protection, find their place and are part of the right to privacy. Nevertheless, the right to privacy is one of the relative rights protected by the European Convention, which means that it can be derogated in specific cases and under certain conditions. The purpose of this article is to examine the conditions set out in the European Convention for the derogation of right to privacy and to analyse the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. This Court has, in its jurisprudence, restrictively derogated the right to privacy, with fulfilling three conditions: prescription by law, necessary in a democratic society and achieving certain legitimate aim. One of the examples of the possibility of its restriction is the epidemic of the Covid-19 virus. Considering that numerous countries around the world have restricted the right to privacy, the question is whether and to what extent the restriction was in accordance with prescribed conditions for derogation of this right.
Nos robasteis la libertad: estudio cuantitativo de las cárceles de mujeres aragonesas (1936-1955)
Authors: Aragüés Estragués Rosa María
Published: November 2023

Casi cincuenta años después de la muerte de Franco y del final de la dictadura, el número de mujeres que sufrieron prisión en las cárceles aragonesas todavía es un reto para cualquier historiador interesado en la represión de género.Son varios los trabajos hechos sobre este tema, pero como siempre ocurre con la información relativa a este periodo, las cifras no son concluyentes. Las dificultades para encontrar la documentación el deterioro por su mala conservación, o su pérdida no han impedido que los trabajos por averiguar el número real de mujeres que vieron coartada su libertad sigan su proceso. A propósito de este proceso de recuperación de la Memoria Histórica, este artículo plantea un estudio archivístico y bibliográfico exhaustivo con la intención de establecer cifras más reales de mujeres encarceladas en Aragón durante la Guerra Civil y la posguerra.

Regulating Deep Fakes in the Artificial Intelligence Act
Authors: Łabuz Mateusz
Published: November 2023

The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) may be a milestone of regulating artificial intelligence by the European Union. Regulatory framework proposed by the European Commission has the potential to serve as a benchmark worldwide and strengthen the position of the EU as one of the main players of the technology market. One of the components of the regulation are the provisions on deep fakes, which include the definition, classification as a “specific risk” AI system and transparency obligations. Deep fakes rightly arouse controversy and are assessed as a complex phenomenon, the negative use of which significantly increases the risk of political manipulation, and at the same time contributes to disinformation, undermining trust in information or in the media. The AI Act may strengthen the protection of citizens against some of the negative consequences of misusing deep fakes, although the impact of the regulatory framework in its current form will be limited due to the specificity of creating and disseminating deep fakes. The effectiveness of the provisions will depend not only on the enforcement capabilities, but also on the precision of phrasing provisions to prevent misinterpretation and deliberate abuse of exceptions. At the same time, the AI Act will not cover a significant part of deep fakes, which, due to the malicious intentions of their creators, will not be subject to the protection in the form of transparency obligations. This study allows for the analysis of provisions relating to deep fakes in the AI Act and proposing improvements that will take into account the specificity of this phenomenon to a greater extent.
Creating a Repeatable Nontechnical Skills Curriculum for the University of Southern Maine (USM) Cybersecurity Ambassador Program (CAP)
Authors: Sussman Lori L. , Leavitt Zachary
Published: November 2023

The workforce demand for skilled cybersecurity talent has exceeded its supply for years. Historically, the pedagogical approach was to identify and create curricula for the most in-demand technical knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs). Unfortunately, the field has tended to neglect nontechnical counterparts. However, recent literature suggests a core set of nontechnical KSAs that employers seek after. This study explored the codification of a nontechnical curriculum for a cybersecurity internship program at the University of Southern Maine (USM). The USM faculty created the Cybersecurity Ambassador Program that can serve students and the community. The service to students is to make them more attractive to employers. The benefit to the community is to provide cybersecurity awareness training to vulnerable populations. This discussion about the USM CAP serves as a case study for other programs considering this type of enrichment using an internship model. CAP started as an informal program, but this research used objective data to create repeatable blueprints. The researchers designed these lesson plans to help students progress from novices to competent in crucial nontechnical skills delineated in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Workforce framework. The team used a mixed methods approach to baseline Tier 1/novice students’ skill levels, place them in a cybersecurity enrichment program, track their progress, and determine program efficacy in helping them achieve beginner status. The information shared can serve as a point of departure for a case study that might guide other programs interested in doing similar work.

Published: November 2023

Intertextual comprehension is the ability to integrate information from several texts and sources of information. This competence is key in the development of reasoning, although it is challenging for our students. This study evaluates the impact of providing intertextual or textual comprehension aids in the first year of high school (seventeen-year-old students) when they must understand a historical phenomenon with multiple perspectives. They read 5 texts with conflicting perspectives on the Civil War and, afterwards, they wrote an essay, completed a comprehension test and a recall task of sources.Students who received the intertextual aids wrote a more integrated essay than those who received the textual comprehension aids. There were no differences in individual text comprehension or source recall. These results indicate the necessity of helping to make connections between documents for the students to integrate contradictory historical information into a coherent interpretative account.

La comprensión intertextual es la capacidad para integrar información de varios textos y fuentes de información. Esta capacidad resulta clave en el desarrollo del razonamiento, aunque es compleja para nuestros alumnos. Este estudio evalúa el impacto de proporcionar en 1º de bachillerato ayudas a la comprensión intertextual o textual cuando deben comprender un fenómeno histórico con múltiples perspectivas. Leyeron 5 textos con posturas enfrentadas de la Guerra Civil y, posteriormente, redactaron un ensayo, realizaron una tarea de comprensión y una de recuerdo de fuentes. Los alumnos que recibieron las ayudas intertextuales escribieron un ensayo más integrado que los que recibieron las ayudas a la comprensión textual. No hubo diferencias en la comprensión individual de cada texto ni en el recuerdo de las fuentes. Estos resultados indican la necesidad de ayudar a establecer conexiones entre los documentos para que los alumnos integren la información histórica contradictoria en un relato interpretativo coherente.
Nursing Care of a Child with MOPD II and Moyamoya according to Orem’s Self-care Deficiency Theory: A Case Report
Authors: Aşkin Ceran Merve , Bektaş Murat
Published: November 2023

Microcephalic osteodysplastic primitive dwarfism (MOPDII) is the most familiar form of microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD). The classic features of the MPD group are marked microcephaly and severe antenatal and postnatal growth retardation. Such patients also have Moyamoya disease, which includes recurrent stroke attacks and possible neurological complications. Today, it is possible to provide care for such patients with many theories. Caring for children with growth-developmental retardation with Orem's Self-care Deficiency Theory may enable them to become self-aware and increase their quality of life. The significance of nursing care for this rare disease is undeniable. In this study, the nursing care of a patient diagnosed with MOPD2 and Moyamoya was carried out based on the Self-care Deficit Nursing Theory. "Partly remedial nursing care" was provided as the patient can self-care at a moderate level, and also "supportive and educational nursing care" was provided to support the mother and other family members who provide care to the patient.
Are multiple share class funds poorly governed?
Authors: Handy Jonathan , Smythe Thomas

Utilizing independent Morningstar Stewardship Grades, this article finds that multiple share class mutual funds (MS funds) have lower quality governance. Ordered probit regressions indicate MS funds are more likely to have lower board quality ratings and managerial incentive ratings, additional evidence the MS structure has not provided the benefits initially put forth by supporters. The results continue to demonstrate that less sophisticated investors seeking financial advice (those typically utilizing MS funds) may potentially be directed to funds that underperform and have higher costs.
Conceptualizing financial advice in Australia
Authors: Richards D. W. , Morton E. F.
Published: November 2023

Many individuals entrust financial advisors to navigate through important financial decisions, yet extant research and persistent scandals bring the effectiveness of advice into question. In examining the Australian financial advice sector, we determine when financial advice can be provided in a cli- ent’s best interest and formulate a model differentiating types of financial advice and their relation- ship to best interest practice. We extend this model to form an integrated framework considering external stakeholders that encourage, and business models which prevent, best interest practice. Our examination reveals some business models prioritize financial institution interests whilst thwarting external stakeholders encouraging best interest practice.
Financial literacy, attitudes, and financial satisfaction

Published: November 2023

Unpaid credit card debt can be problematic; people should avoid it where possible. Unlike prior studies, this article examines the relative strength of the association of financial literacy, attitude toward balancing spending and savings, and financial satisfaction with credit card debt- taking behavior by analyzing the 2016 wave of the Household, Income and Labor Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. We find that higher financial literacy is associated with less credit card debt. However, incorporating the other factors reduces this relationship. Our results advise policy-makers to include components in the financial literacy curricula that encourage savings attitude to reduce problematic debt-taking.
Optimism, overconfidence, and insurance decisions
Authors: Coats Jennifer , Bajtelsmit Vickie
Published: November 2023

We report experimental evidence regarding overconfidence, optimism, and insurance decisions. Our design distinguishes between an individual’s optimism bias and overconfidence bias, a contribu- tion particularly important for understanding insurance decisions related to risks beyond the purchas- er’s control. Results show that optimistic participants incur a higher total cost of risk and are more likely to underinsure than non-optimistic participants, even when purchasing insurance maximizes expected payoffs. In contrast, we find that overconfidence does not significantly affect the decision to insure. However, participants with higher overall overconfidence show larger differences in insur- ance behavior when the risk of loss arises from their own mistakes.

من إحدى أهم سبل العيش المشترك في بلد متعدد الأديان والمذاهب والقوميات هي إشاعة روح المواطنة بين أفراده، وقبول الآخر بغض النظر عن انتماءاتهم الدينية والقومية، وهذا ما لا يتحقق إلا بتجريم الأفعال كافة التي تؤدي إلى قطع هذا النسيج المجتمعي الواحد، والتي تعد الطائفية من أكثر تلك الأفعال ضرراً بهذا الأمر. من هنا كانت هذه الجرائم محط عناية المشرع الجنائي، التي جرم جميع الأفعال التي تؤدي إلى تحريض الطائفية حفاظاً على أمن المجتمع وسلامته.

اصبحت مشكلة المياه من أهم المشاكل التي تواجه العالم اليوم بشكل عام، والعراق بشكل خاص؛ وتدور المشاكل بين الدول المتشاطئة حول التوزيع العادل لحصص هذه الدول من المياه؛ وقد وسع تطور التعريف القانوني للنهر الدولي من نطاق المشاكل في الوقت الذي وضع فيه الحلول لها ان انتقال مصطلح النهر الدولي إلى مصطلح حوض الصرف الدولي أدخل أطرافاً دولية أخرى ضمن الدول المتشاطئة على هذا الحوض ، فأكسبها حقوقاً وفرض عليها التزامات؛ إلا أن الدول المشتركة في حوض الصرف الدولي لنهري دجلة والفرات لاتزال بعيدة عن فهم هذا الواقع، وتحاول ترحيل حل المشاكل المتعلقة بالحصص المائية لكل طرف؛ إلى إشعار آخر يفاقم من الأزمة ؛ فضلاً عن تفاقم مشاكل شحة المياه ، وازدياد عدد د السكان ، وتعاظم الحاجة للمياه العذبة.
PERSONAL BOUNDARIES AND BULLYING AMONG
SCHOOLCHILDREN
Authors: Mozgovaya Natalya
Published: November 2023

Research relevance. The problem of bullying at school is an
interdisciplinary issue. It is important to examine it alongside personality
characteristics like personality boundaries. Research objective. We examined
the relationship between the personality boundaries functions and the
components of schoolchildren’s bullying structure. Research methods and
sample. We applied diagnostics of psychological boundaries of personality
(T.S. Levy) and methodology for identifying “bullying structure” (E.G. Norkina),
examining fi fty-three schoolchildren (aged -) of both sexes. Key
results. There is a connection between the personality boundary and the
components of bullying structure, namely, if certain boundary functions
manifest themselves, the expression of the bullying structure components
change. The results show positive and negative relationships at p≤. and
p≤. level between personality boundary functions and bullying structure
components: signifi cant positive relationships at the p≤. level between
the “initiator” component of the bullying structure and the boundary functions:
“ penetrable” (r=., when p=.); “absorbing” (r=., when
p=.); “calm-neutral” (r=., when p=.). Thus, when personality
boundaries functions are high, the bullying structure “initiator” gains prominence,
and vice versa. We found positive and negative relationships with
p≤. between the bullying role “protector” and the calm-neutral boundary
function (r=., with p≤.); between the “victim” component and
the restraining function (r=-., p≤.), and the calm-neutral one (r=-
., p≤.). The results are in the area of uncertainty, indicating a trend
in this relationship. Observations. “Initiator” is an individual with a high
potential for aggression. Such personality boundary functions as permeable,
absorptive and calm-neutral are typical of “initiators”. School bullies tend to
‘dissolve’ the boundaries of others. They have their own strong permission to
ask for help, and do not handle rejection.

The Gait-dependent Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Ambulatory Boot Device: Preliminary Reports on Calf Pressure and Venous Hemodynamics
Authors: Quintos Ricardo Jose
Published: November 2023

Rationale: Compression therapy has been demonstrated to be beneficial in a number of vascular conditions including chronic arterial ischemia, venous insufficiency and primary and secondary lymphedema. Its effectivity however is limited and questioned by the nature of the treatment procedure which requires that the patient be in a sitting or recumbent position while it is being administered. Methods: The author describes the development of a boot device which provides gait-dependent intermittent compression to the ankle and calf.Results: In volunteer studies, the device produced a cycle of pressure changes from 15-40 mmHg at the interface. Simulated calf compression resulted in augmentation of venous flow recorded by duplex sonography at the superficial femoral vein area, indicating an improvement in venous hemodynamics with the use of the device. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the potential for an attractive ambulatory alternative to the commonly employed non-ambulant therapies for venous insufficiency. Key words: hemodynamics, compression therapy, venous insufficiency, femoral vein

Authors: Cocjin Hansel Gould , Jingco Jair Kimri , Villaber Ana-Lorsha
Published: November 2023

Introduction: This study compared Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) made vs Plaster of Paris (POP) made functional braces in the closed treatment of fractures of the humeral shaft. Outcomes examined were the rate of fracture union, radiographic alignment, DASH scores and the range of motion of the shoulder and elbow. Methods: This was a parallel randomized clinical trial conducted at the Corazon Locsin-Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital from July 2016 to July 2017. All eligible patients were included and randomly allocated into PVC and POP treatment groups. All patients were followed-up on the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 14th week for clinical and radiographic evaluation. Results: There were 31 patients, 14 and 17 in the PVC and POP groups, respectively. The median rate of union in the PVC and POP groups were 10.50 and 10.00 weeks, respectively. The median varus and valgus angulation in the PVC and POP groups were 15.75° and 16.5°, respectively. The median anterior and posterior alignment in the PVC group was 1.7° and POP group was 9.6°. The median DASH score of the PVC and POP groups were 7.1 and 12.5, respectively. The median range of motion in the elbow was 135° for both groups. The median range of motion in the shoulder in the PVC group was 150° and POP group was 140°. Conclusions: There was a high rate of union of humeral shaft fractures with acceptable functional outcome with the use of the PVC made functional brace compared to the traditional POP made functional brace.
