Subventionen in Zeiten knapper Kassen
Authors: Laaser Claus-Friedrich , Rosenschon Astrid , Schrader Klaus
Published: December 2023

The decision of the Federal Constitutional Court to classify the transfer of €60 billion in unused coronavirus loan authorisations to the Climate and Transformation Fund as unconstitutional has plunged fiscal policy in Germany into a crisis. A “cash audit” is therefore called for. This article draws on the findings of the Kiel Subsidy Report. According to the budget plans for 2022 and 2023, federal financial aid is set to increase sharply. In 2023, they are expected to be even higher than the federal government’s social spending. Financial aid should therefore not be left out in order to counter-finance budget gaps.

Dehydration: Need For an Improved Rehydrating Energy Drink
Authors: Faruqui Arif A.
Published: December 2023

Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is the cornerstone treatment for managing dehydration. However, ORT cannot “halt” the underlying intestinal fluid loss, a significant mechanism of infectious organisms responsible for causing diarrhea. Reports have demonstrated the role of calcium in treating contagious diarrhea through the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), which is absent in oral rehydration solution (ORS).  CaSR is a novel target that has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating diarrhea. CaSR is activated by a simple calcium agonist, an easily accessible, inexpensive, and safe-to-use option in the pediatric population. Adding nutrients would be simple and may increase the efficacy of the current ORS treatment. Maltodextrin (MDs) over glucose in ORS has shown benefits in these patients as the osmolality of MDs is significantly lower than that of disaccharide sugars. Thus, adding multivitamins, nutrients, and energy boosters to WHO- ORS may improve the efficacy of ORS in treating diarrhea, reducing malnutrition, and providing energy to curb fatigue.

Dynamic Scoring and Costing in the Orienteering Problem: A Model Based on Length of Stay
Authors: Alberto Giovano , Sitompul Carles
Published: December 2023

In today's travel and tourism landscape, the role of travel agents has become increasingly complex as they are challenged to explore a variety of potential destinations. More specifically, the complicated task of planning itineraries that truly satisfy travellers puts travel agents in a crucial role, increasing the complexity of itinerary planning. This complexity is compounded not only by the multitude of possible destinations, but also by non-negotiable constraints such as cost and time. To address these challenges, the orienteering problem represents a fundamental mathematical model that provides a theoretical basis for understanding the nuanced difficulties faced by travel agents.This study ventures into a novel iteration of the orienteering problem, with a particular focus on optimizing travel satisfaction based on length of stay. A notable aspect of this variant is the inclusion of time and cost constraints in the route determination process. Using an integer programming model, the satisfaction scores for each location are described by a diminishing returns function linked to length of stay, while the costs associated with each location follow a linear function influenced by the same parameter. The application of this model is in a hypothetical scenario with 32 nodes, with the calculations facilitated by the FilMINT solver. A sensitivity analysis examines time and cost constraints and shows their decisive influence on the optimization of travel routes. The results of this research contribute significantly to a strategic framework and provide travel agencies with the opportunity to create itineraries that not only meet practical limits but, more importantly, increase traveller satisfaction.
An integrated Optimization Model of Product Mix, Assortment Packing, and Distribution in A Fashion Footwear Company
Authors: Rosyidi Cucuk Nur , Octaviani Erina Annastya , Laksono Pringgo Widyo
Published: December 2023

Recognizing the paramount importance of operational effectiveness and resource management in supply chain management (SCM) of the fashion industry, this study addresses a specific challenge faced by a prominent Indonesian fashion footwear company. The inefficiency is due to repetitive sorting and packaging processes during product distribution, which significantly impact optimal production mixes and product distribution from the distribution center to the point of sale. A crucial aspect is also the optimization of the delivery route. To address these challenges and minimize the total cost of ownership, the study proposes an integrated optimization model. This model simultaneously determines the optimal production quantity, assortment packaging, and distribution channels, taking into account decision variables related to distribution in configuration boxes, overload and underload products, as well as production numbers that respond to store-specific demand fluctuations. A notable contribution of this research is the integration of product mix decisions into the assortment packaging and distribution model, which represents a novel approach. The optimal solution determined using the LINGO 18.0 software highlights the significant influence of product penalty costs and product demand parameters on the objective function, while shipping costs have no noticeable influence. By emphasizing the integration of product mix decisions into the optimization framework, this research contributes significantly to improving the understanding and practical application of efficient supply chain management in the fashion industry.
Synergizing IFTOPSIS and DEA for Enhanced Efficiency Analysis in Inpatient Units
Authors: Wardani Cholida Usi , Abusini Sobri , Darti Isnani
Published: December 2023

The pursuit of efficiency in the business sector is a multifaceted endeavor, extending beyond mere cost reduction to encompass a strategic optimization of operational performance. The enhancement of efficiency is not solely for the benefit of investors or proprietors but is also a concerted effort to maximize resource utilization and minimize waste. This study introduces an integrative approach combining IFTOPSIS and DEA methodologies to deliver a robust efficiency evaluation framework.The fusion of IFTOPSIS's qualitative analysis with DEA's quantitative assessments addresses the complexity of operational performance, providing a balanced evaluation that transcends subjective bias with data-driven insights. IFTOPSIS articulates decision-makers' preferences in uncertain scenarios, assigning weights to criteria, while DEA discriminates between efficient and inefficient operational units. This confluence of methods is applied to the assessment of inpatient healthcare units—a sector that has traditionally relied on patient-centric evaluations, neglecting the comprehensive review of resource deployment. The results of this amalgamated approach reveal dimensions of operational efficiency previously unexplored, offering stakeholders a data-enriched foundation for strategic decision-making. The study's findings have significant implications for the healthcare industry, providing a template for resource evaluation that could inform policy and drive improvements in patient care services.
Innovative Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Supplier Evaluation: Combining TLF, Fuzzy BWM, and VIKOR
Authors: Arief Ikhwan , Fatrias Dicky , Jie Ferry , Armijal
Published: December 2023

When confronted with underperforming suppliers, the need to evaluate and improve supplier performance becomes apparent. However, the inherent inaccuracies in information introduce complexity, especially when subjective human judgment is involved in the supplier evaluation process. Associated with such problem, this study presents a novel methodology for supplier performance evaluation in the crumb rubber industry, integrating the Taguchi Loss Function (TLF), fuzzy Best-Worst Method (BWM), and VIKOR technique in group decision-making environment. Aimed at addressing the challenges in industries with variable supplier quality and performance, such as the crumb rubber industry in Indonesia, the methodology was empirically tested to demonstrate its practical utility. The process involved identifying evaluation criteria through literature review tailored  to the needs of decision makers (DMs), applying TLF to quantify losses from supplier performance deviations, using fuzzy BWM to determine criteria weights based on the DMs judgment, and employing the VIKOR technique for comprehensive supplier ranking. The findings underscore the methodology's effectiveness in enhancing decision-making, offering a unified metric that accommodates diverse criteria and balances precise data with subjective assessments. This approach simplifies the evaluation process, particularly in situations with conflicting interests among decision-makers. Demonstrating its practical application in the crumb rubber industry, the study highlights the methodology's potential for broader industrial applicability. Future research could explore comparative analyses with other analytical methods, further establishing the methodology's robustness and adaptability in different management contexts.

Fountain Flow Visualization in Quadrotor Wake Decreasing Rotor Thrust In-Ground Effect
Authors: Otsuka Hikaru , Kohno Masayoshi , Nagatani Keiji
Published: December 2023

Wake visualizations and thrust measurements of a quadrotor model were conducted to clarify the relationship between thrust and wake flow structure in-ground effects. The adjacent rotor distance, rotor height above ground, and the presence of a plate representing a generic quadrotor centerbody were varied. Thrust decreased when lowering the quadrotor to the ground when the adjacent rotor distance was over 2.2 times the rotor radius. Laser light sheet flow visualization showed quadrotor wake flow structures. Furthermore, visualization using particle image velocimetry showed an averaged vector map of wakes and fountain flow at the center of the quadrotor wake, which caused circulation with rotor passing flow and decreased rotor thrust. The center plate increased the sum of the rotor thrust and plate lift; however, circulation flow formed under the plate and caused the rotor thrust to decrease the in-ground effect. The results clarified that fountain flow development decreased the quadrotor thrust in-ground effect. Reducing the adjacent rotor distance weakened the development of fountain flow in the quadrotor wake and eliminated the decrease in rotor thrust near the ground.
Efficient Method for Wet Modal Analysis of Cyclic Periodic Fluid/Structure Systems
Authors: Nie Chuanbao , Wang Kang , Mao Yuming , Gao Qiang
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for the modal analysis of vertical cyclic periodic tanks partially filled with liquid. The fluid effect on the vibration of the structure is modeled by introducing an added mass matrix. Because the added mass matrix formed by the boundary element method is fully populated, it requires considerable computer memory when the wet modal analysis involves substantial wetted elements. Additionally, the dense added mass matrix will destroy the sparsity of the total mass matrix, resulting in a significant computational burden for solving the eigenvalue problem. Based on the cyclic periodic property of the fluid/structure system, it is proved that the added mass matrix of the vertical cyclic periodic tank also has a block-circulant property. Therefore, according to the group representation theory, the original eigenvalue problem of the wet modal analysis can be decoupled into a series of independent subproblems. Because the computational scale of the subproblems is much smaller than that of the original eigenvalue problem, the proposed method can significantly reduce the computational cost. Numerical examples show that the proposed method can solve the modal analysis of the cyclic periodic fluid/structure system with high accuracy and efficiency.

The nature of the gas content of the Nejelinsky formation
Authors: Sivtsev A. I. , Rudykh I. V. , Sivtsev N. A.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the issue of regional gas content of Nejelinsky formation of the Lower Triassic. Based on the consideration of the peculiarities of the gas content of Nejelinsky formation and the upper productive horizons of the Permian age within the Khapchagai megawall; it is concluded that there are two types of deposits in the section of Nejelinsky formation. The first type of deposits is gas-hydrodynamically limited in the volume of Nejelinsky formation and is genetically related to breakthrough gases from the Permian part of the section. The second type of deposits is gas-hydrodynamically related to deposits in the upper part of the Permian productive horizon. Due to the lack of its own gas formation potential in Nejelinsky formation outside the Khapchagai and Loglorsky shafts; it can only be considered as an effective fluid barrier. It is concluded that in the absence of isolated deposits in Nejelinsky formation; favorable reservoir properties in the Permian part of the section should be expected.
Implementation of Management Decisions for the Implementation of Blockchain Technologies in Public Authorities
Authors: Dziundziuk Viacheslav , Dziundziuk Boris
Published: December 2023

In recent years, there has been growing interest in blockchain-based operating systems from computer science, economics, and law, but the literature is still in its infancy. The public sector is becoming an area of application for blockchain technology, with governments and others having published more than 200 examples of its use worldwide. However, despite the growing interest, actual implementation of blockchain-based technologies and systems in public administration remains limited. Previous studies have highlighted a number of challenges associated with its implementation, including inadequate regulation, security and privacy issues, lack of interoperable infrastructure, inefficient and energy-intensive transactions, the need for changes in administrative processes, and ultimately, the lack of effective governance models. The purpose of this paper is to identify what management decisions need to be made for the development of blockchain technologies and systems in public authorities and how different contextual factors in public sector affect the available options for blockchain governance.
The literature review showed that managerial decisions regarding the use of blockchain in public institutions need to be defined at different levels. At the same time, all these levels are not independent levels of blockchain management, but interrelated ones. It was defined, that blockchain governance in public authorities includes different solutions related to decision mechanisms, incentive mechanisms, consensus building mechanisms, organization, accountability, and management control.
Several important conclusions were drawn for system developers and decision makers interested in applying blockchain solutions in public administration. First, politicians and system developers need to consider the interrelationships between levels of public administration and assess the impact of decisions at one level on other levels of public administration. Second, the state current frameworks in a particular sector (e.g., health, security, education, etc.) may influence the choice of a particular blockchain-based governance option. Third, the implementation of blockchain-based systems and technologies in public administration depends on the level of public trust in government. Therefore, further research is needed to clarify the relationship between trust in public institutions and the political choice to build a blockchain-based governance structure.
Public Management of Employment at the Level of Territorial Communities in the Context of Ensuring the Development of Rural Areas
Authors: Babaiev Valerij , Babaieva Iryna
Published: December 2023

United territorial communities were formed by voluntary unification of adjacent territorial communities of villages, towns, and cities.
The availability, working conditions, and the level and quality of life of the population of rural communities significantly affect the development possibilities of rural areas. Problematic issues are the growth of unemployment, the demographic crisis, the intensive outflow of young people from the countryside, etc.
The primary issue for anti-crisis public administration in rural areas (at the level of rural territorial communities and rural districts) is ensuring employment and self-employment of the population, increasing the level of labor income of the rural population.
The low capacity of the labor market in rural territorial communities determines the need for the population to find work outside their place of residence and, in this connection, the presence of significant financial costs.
The introduction of new types of activities and areas of employment for residents of the rural community must meet the needs of the market and be economically feasible, because otherwise public policy measures to support such types of employment will have a short-term nature and insignificant results.
The tools of the public employment policy are: unemployment benefits, insurance of the population against job loss; assistance in professional training and retraining of personnel, conducting advanced training courses, organization and regulation of labor exchanges, public employment services; regulation of the wage level, regularization of the dismissal of employees; subsidies and benefits from tax accounting for entrepreneurs, regarding the creation of new and preservation of old jobs.
Public management of employment at the level of the territorial community should be aimed at ensuring the possibility of effective economic activity of the residents of the community. At the same time, they should receive sufficient financial support to motivate work. This requires: creation of procurement points with a wide range of products with the participation of territorial communities; combining them into a procurement network; active cooperation with public administration bodies; networks of procurement points to international supply chains; ensuring their access to foreign food markets.
Protection of Children’s Rights in International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Dubovyk Kateryna
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on the protection of children’s rights in international humanitarian law. All over the world, thousands of children are exposed to the dangers of armed conflict. Children are recruited into the civil militia, ranks of the state army, and other military formations. Many children are abducted from schools, streets, and their homes. Some «voluntarily» join the ranks of military formations because they have no alternative: the reason for this is discrimination, numerous restrictions, poverty and other factors. Specialists in legal issues emphasize the need to prohibit the involvement and use of children, that is, persons who have not reached the age of 18, in armed conflicts.
Thus, International Humanitarian Law prohibits the involvement and participation of children under the age of 15 in military operations, whether internal or international conflict. Despite this, about 200,000 child soldiers are involved in more than 20 military conflicts around the world.
Hundreds of thousands of children became witnesses and participants of hostilities in Ukraine. This vulnerable group is easy to manipulate due to age-related psychological characteristics.

Authors: Suryanto Suryanto , Dewi Aldina Kusuma
Published: December 2023

This research discusses the importance of integrating digital learning media, particularly interactive formative tests based on regional food education games, to enhance the learning outcomes of Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) at the Elementary School (SD) level. The main goal of PPKn is to cultivate good character and citizenship in students. In the digital era, the use of technology is considered essential to provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience. This study employs a qualitative method and a case study framework to propose the implementation of interactive formative tests through digital learning media, focusing on the use of regional food education games. The research instruments involve the development and application of interactive formative tests based on food education games for SD students. Data are collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and the analysis of formative test results. The findings indicate that the implementation of interactive formative tests through digital learning media, particularly utilizing regional food education games, positively contributes to the learning outcomes of PPKn for SD students. Educational games not only enhance knowledge of traditional foods but also facilitate discussions on local wisdom, cultural diversity, and a sense of love for the homeland. The effectiveness of interactive formative tests is evident in the increased active participation of students in the learning process. This study suggests that the implementation of interactive formative tests through digital learning media, especially in the form of educational games, can serve as an effective model to improve PPKn learning outcomes at the SD level. Support from schools, teachers, and educational stakeholders is crucial to integrate technology in a relevant and meaningful way into student learning.

Um percentual de 51% do número total de rajadas de vento foi registrado em 2003 e 2007 (em conjunto), com valores muito próximos. O mês de maio teve o maior percentual de registros de rajadas (22%), e as direções do setor sul da rosa dos ventos foram as mais frequentes (51%). No caso selecionado (10-11 de maio de 2007) houve cinco registros, no período da noite, com a direção do vento variando entre 170 e 200 graus. A rajada mais forte, com 190 graus e 69 km/h, ocorreu às 01 UTC do dia 11. Nuvens de convecção profunda (cúmulos congestos) foram observadas na área do aeroporto. Esse caso foi associado à passagem de um sistema frontal em Salvador, evidenciada pela variação diária de elementos atmosféricos observados à superfície na estação meteorológica do aeroporto. Segundo a Coordenadoria de Defesa Civil de Salvador (CODESAL), as fortes variações do vento causaram desabamento e destelhamento de imóveis registrados no dia 11.

This work focuses on wind gusts observed at the Salvador International Airport during the period 2003-2011. Surface meteorological variables observed at the airport, meteorological satellite images and gridpoint data were used to analyze the interannual, seasonal and hourly variability of the wind gusts and to diagnose the synoptic conditions of one selected case. A fifty two percent of the total number of wind gusts was found in 2003 and 2007 (altogether), with very close values. May had the highest percentage of wind gust reports (22%), while wind directions in the southern sector of the wind rose were more frequent (51%). The selected case (10-11 May 2007) had 5 gusts, at night, with wind direction varying from 190 to 200 degrees. The strongest wind gust, with 190 degrees and 69 km/h, occurred at 01 UTC on the 11th. Deep cumulus clouds (cumulus congestus) were observed within the airport area. This case was associated with a frontal passage in Salvador, as shown by the daily variability of the atmospheric elements observed at the airport surface meteorological station. The Civil Defense of Salvador (CODESAL) registered collapsed and unroofed houses on the 11th.

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a distribuição de precipitação média no Nordeste do Brasil obtida de estimativas de precipitação por satélite com o algoritmo 3B42_V6 (resultado de uma combinação de estimativas multi-satélites nos canais de micro-ondas e infravermelho) com a distribuição de precipitação média obtida de dados de pluviômetros em superfície, além de verificar a aplicabilidade do algoritmo 3B42_V6 na detecção de períodos anômalos extremos de precipitação na região. Os dados utilizados são do período de 1998 a 2011. Os períodos anômalos de precipitação foram selecionados a partir de um levantamento bibliográfico prévio. Os eventos foram identificados no conjunto de dados estimados por satélite através do Índice de Anomalia de Precipitação (RAI), ajustado para o período de dados disponível do algoritmo estimador. Os resultados mostram que as metodologias são complementares e que representam técnicas eficientes tanto na estimativa da variabilidade espacial da precipitação quanto na identificação de áreas afetadas por eventos extremos. A B S T R A C T The objective in this study was to compare the average rainfall distribution in Northeast Brazil obtained by means of satellite rainfall estimates through the 3B42_V6 algorithm (the result of a combination of multi-satellite estimates in the microwave and infrared channels) with the average rainfall distribution obtained from data collected by surface rain gauges, and to verify the applicability of the 3B42_V6 algorithm in detecting anomalous periods of extreme rainfall. The data used are from 1998 to 2011. The anomalous precipitation periods were selected with a basis on a literature review. The events were identified in the satellite estimated data ensemble by means of the rainfall anomaly index (RAI) adjusted for the period of the available estimator algorithm data. The results show the two methodologies to be complementary and efficient not only in estimating the rainfall spatial distribution but also in identifying the areas affected by extreme events.

O trabalho teve como objetivo principal analisar a produção agropecuária e sua correlação com a dinâmica climática no município de Caicó/RN, localizado na região semiárida, contribuindo para um melhor planejamento econômico e para o conhecimento do clima como elemento integrado da organização do espaço geográfico. No estudo decidiu-se eleger quatro variáveis respostas da produção agropecuária: (a) produção de carne de sol, (b) produção de leite, (c) produção de feijão e (d) produção de milho. Para cada uma dessas variáveis existem diversas variáveis explicativas e a análise de correlação definiu quais dessas puderam ser utilizadas para ajudar a prever as variáveis respostas. Correlacionando os dados dos elementos climáticos com a agricultura e a pecuária, foi observado que as variáveis correlacionadas de forma mais significativa com as variáveis respostas foram a precipitação, o índice de aridez, a temperatura e a umidade, além do número de cabeças bovinas e o número de vacas ordenhadas para a pecuária e a área plantada e área colhida para a agricultura. Quanto aos modelos de previsão, estes apresentaram um bom ajuste aos dados observados, sendo possível pensar em utilizá-los para fazer previsões futuras à medida que o histórico de dados for sendo incrementado com outras variáveis explicativas.
Sistemas Atmosféricos e Índice de Conforto Térmico no Estado de Santa Catarina – Ensaio a partir do Verão 2011/2012 (Weather Systems and Thermal Comfort Index in the State of Santa Catarina - Essay from Summer 2011/2012)

A presente pesquisa visou abordar as articulações entre os sistemas atmosféricos atuantes no verão (2011/2012) no Estado de Santa Catarina e os reflexos nos índices de conforto térmico (ICT). Para isso, aplicou-se a metodologia de análise rítmica e cálculos de ICT em dados de 13 estações meteorológicas localizadas em diferentes mesorregiões do estado. Os resultados indicam que houve articulações entre os sistemas atmosféricos e os fatores geográficos locais. De modo geral a massa tropical continental (mTc) e a massa tropical atlântica (mTa) estiveram sempre vinculadas a sensações de grande a máximo desconforto pelo calor. Por outro lado, os sistemas frontais (SF) e, principalmente, a massa polar atlântica (mPa) atuaram na condição de frio e muito frio nas áreas do planalto e de nenhum desconforto na fachada litorânea. A massa equatorial continental (mEc), por sua vez, promoveu situações de nenhum desconforto intercalada por sensações de grande e máximo desconforto pelo calor à tarde. Por fim, apresenta-se uma classificação síntese do conforto térmico no estado de Santa Catarina no período estudado, vinculando os resultados aos fatores geográficos e sistemas atmosféricos.
