An Assessment of the Nigeria Police Force by Yorùbá Female Novelists: A Sociological Approach
Authors: ASIWAJU Jumoke Helen
Published: July 2024

The Nigeria Police Force whose duty is to protect the citizens and also enforce law and order in the society has unfortunately become tainted by corruption and other vices. It is common for police officers to accept bribes, often in form of money, in the course of their duties. For example, if an offender cooperates by bribing the officers, they will escape punishment while an innocent person may be unjustly arrested and subjected to legal actions. Furthermore, Police officers betray one another, extort motorists on highways, supply weapons to criminals and act as godfathers to criminals in a bid to make more money. These among other corrupt practices of the Nigerian Police are well depicted in Yorùbá female novels. While there have been several literary works focused on crime and the Nigeria Police in Yorùbá written literature (poem, drama and prose), none has adequately explored this subject as portrayed by Yorùbá female novelists, hence, the need for this study. Using the Sociological Approach with a focus on seven female authored novels (Ikú Jàre, Kò Jẹ́ Jẹ́ Bẹ́ẹ̀, Kò Sí Látẹ, Fúnminíyì, Awọfẹ́lẹ́ Bonú, Ọ̀tafàsókè 1 and Ọ̀tafàsókè 2), this study examines how female Yorùbá novelists portray the Nigerian Police and their handling of criminal cases in their novels. Findings from this research reveal that Yorùbá female novelists portray the Nigeria Police Force as a rotten agency where majority of the officers are unrepentantly corrupt, with only a few of them exhibiting good character.

Authors: Hidayat Fuad Hanif
Published: July 2024

Abstrak
Dalam kehidupan ini permasalahan pencarian jalur terpendek dalam mencari rute tercepat menuju lokasi tujuan merupakan sebuah kajian yang banyak dibahas dan dipelajari akhir-akhir ini. Hal ini akan sangat berguna untuk diimplementasikan pada beberapa kasus yang membutuhkan tingkat efisiensi waktu tinggi seperti pengiriman barang, pencarian lokasi, dan sebagainya. Dalam menentuan lintasan terpendek dapat diperoleh dengan beberapa algoritma matematika, antara lain algoritma Dijkstra, algoritma Floyd-Warshall dan algoritma Bellman-Ford. Penggunaan algoritma banyak digunakan dalam mencari rute terpendek dikarenakan algoritma ini menghitung lintasan berdasar jarak terpendek yang di tempuh di tiap-tiap kota atau jalan. Algortima Dijkstra ini pertama kali ditemukan oleh seorang ilmuan bernama Edsger Dijkstra asal Belanda. Algotima Dijsktra dipilih karena memang dikembangkan sebagai sebuah algoritma yang efisien untuk menemukan jalur terpendek berdasarkan suatu bobot bernilai positif, dari sebuah titik awal ke semua titik lain di dalam semua graf yang sudah ditandai. Untuk lebih jelas dalam menganalisis dan merancang sistem baru penulis menggunakan pendekatan metode System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak yang digunakan dalam membantu penggambaran system yaitu dengan DFD.

Introducción: Estudios previos en relación con los determinantes del uso de la profilaxis preexposición al VIH en Colombia son escasos, en este estudio nos proponemos usar el modelo de capacidad, motivación y oportunidad COM-B para estimar los determinantes de la intención de uso de PrEP en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH). Metodología: se realizaron 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas con HSH reclutados por muestreo de bola de nieve, con una duración entre de 30-60 minutos, por zoom o teléfono. Se realizo un análisis de contenido y luego se realizó el mapeo de los temas con los dominios de capacidad, motivación y oportunidad. Resultados: Se encontró como posibles facilitadores las habilidades e interés para buscar información sobre PrEP (Capacidad), el apoyo social y la opinión de pares (oportunidad), y las motivaciones para usar la PrEP como una herramienta adicional en la prevención del VIH. Como barrera se resalta principalmente el estigma hacia la homosexualidad y el VIH (oportunidad), la organización y financiación del sistema de salud, (oportunidad), la percepción de falta de habilidad para cumplir con el uso de PrEP (capacidad), y la monitoria de PrEP que se pudiera atribuir a factores personales y del sistema de salud (capacidad y oportunidad). Consideraciones finales: se sugieren 4 estrategias para abordar esas barreras 1) adaptación de intervenciones que promuevan el conocimiento y las habilidades para PrEP, 2) desarrollos de intervenciones de navegantes que promuevan la participación de organizaciones y lideres, 3) educación y habilidades para médicos de atención primaria, 4) mejoramiento del sistema de atención en salud sexual.

Cause Analysis and Improvement Measures for Superheated Platen Tubes Failure of a 580 t/h CFB Boiler
Authors: Chelsi Chelsi , Pamungkas Msy Cahaya Dinda
Published: July 2024

Superheaters are crucial components of boilers operating under high temperatures and pressures. Understanding potential damages, especially in components like superheaters, is essential for enhancing boiler, turbine, and overall power plant productivity. This paper highlights a study for the failure investigation of platen superheater tube in Unit 2 of a 2x150 MW coal-fired power plant in South Sumatra. Various tests including chemical composition, hardness, tensile, metallography, SEM fracture surface examination, and XRD compound analysis were conducted to assess the failure of the platen superheater tube. The investigation revealed that the failure of platen superheater tube was initiated by the plugging of the tube elbow due to deposits and ashes adhering to the tube's interior. This obstruction prevented saturated steam flow inside the tube, leading to overheating and a subsequent drop in mechanical strength. Overheating was confirmed by the presence of spheroid particles in the ferrite matrix. Prolonged overheating resulted in the formation of microvoids, leading to creep failure and crack formation in the tube. Following improvements made during Unit 2 maintenance outage, which involved adding refractory material inside the furnace on the platen superheater panel, positive results were observed. The platen superheater tubes, which previously exceeded temperature limits, now operate within normal range temperatures. This improvement also reduced spray water consumption and significantly increased boiler efficiency from 83.19% to 83.54%.

The zinc finger protein 521 (ZNF521) gene is located on human chromosome 18, specifically in the 18q11.2 region. As a zinc finger DNA-binding protein, ZNF521/Zfp521 acts as a transcription cofactor involved in the regulation of cell differentiation across various cell types, including hematopoietic, neural, and mesenchyme stem cells, B progenitor cells, preadipocytes, and osteoblasts. Its interactions with key proteins such as RUNX2, EBF1, SIAH2, or BMP2 further modulate these processes. In this review, we briefly summarize the current understanding of ZNF521/Zfp521, encompassing its structural, functional, post-translational modification, and cellular signaling pathways, especially its roles in cell differentiation and related diseases. In addition, we explore the process and effects of the interaction between Zfp521 and other proteins and discuss the molecular mechanisms of its roles in adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and neural differentiation.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of hybrid scaffolds with material gradients, combining soft and hard phases, is an appealing frontier in additive manufacturing. However, most 3D printers are limited to either three-axis or mono-material capabilities, rendering them unsuitable for fabricating hybrid scaffolds. Additionally, printing on curved surfaces requires advanced printing capabilities. Our work aims to advance additive manufacturing by developing a hybrid piezoelectric inkjet-extrusion printer equipped with five-axis functionalities. The printer could be used to fabricate customized hybrid scaffolds, surpassing conventional mono-material or linear three-axis printing strategies. The soft phase comprises a low-viscosity photocurable resin and a high-viscosity peptide hydrogel, while the hard phase comprises 3D-printed polylactic acid and hydroxyapatite parts. To validate the system, we fabricated three hybrid scaffolding use cases, characterized by multi-material porous structures fabricated on planar, single-curved, and free-form surfaces. The scaffolds were subsequently analyzed using digital microscopy to assess their accuracy, particularly the feature sizes of pores and struts (i.e., 0.8–3.6 mm). In the first part of the study, we demonstrated the versatility of inkjet and extrusion printing by hybrid printing an interconnected network in the soft phase on top of a planar ceramic hard phase. A pore width and height deviation of 6% was achieved compared to the intended design. In the second part of the study, we evaluated the 3D inkjet printing of a multi-material porous scaffold on a single-curved surface for osteochondral defects. The circumferential pore width and radial pore height deviated by 0.8% and 2%, respectively. Finally, we inkjet-printed a mesh structure on a free-form surface, which acted as a membrane for palatal implants. In this case, the pore width deviations were -16% in the printing direction and 2% perpendicular to the printing direction.

Published: July 2024

Supramolecular hydrogels have emerged as versatile bioinks in tissue engineering, providing a promising avenue for constructing intricate and functional biological structures. This paper explores the significance of employing supramolecular hydrogels as advanced bioinks for three-dimensional bioprinting and various biomedical applications. Supramolecular hydrogels possess distinct and tunable characteristics attributed to the dynamic nature of supramolecular host–guest interactions alongside interactions based on DNA and peptides, which increases their significance in tissue engineering. These interactions are essential for enhancing the mechanical properties, injectability, printability, post-printing stability, and biocompatibility of hydrogels. Gelation kinetics and rheological properties can also be manipulated to suit specific printing techniques. Furthermore, these supramolecular interactions facilitate the incorporation of bioactive molecules to regulate cellular behavior and tissue development. These diverse interactions observed in supramolecular hydrogels underscore their ability to emulate the dynamic and responsive nature of the cell’s extracellular matrix, which fosters cell growth, adherence, and differentiation. This review specifically highlights the cucurbit[n]uril and cyclodextrin-based host–guest supramolecular hydrogels, as well as peptide and DNA-based supramolecular structures as advanced bioinks and brief examples of their applications in various biomedical fields. These advanced bioinks would drive the development of intricate tissue constructs with enhanced biomimicry and therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine.

Role of Rule of Law in the Renewal Energy Transition in Saudi Arabia: A Review and Analysis
Authors: Mahmood Haider , Hassan Shafiqul , Parveen Rehana , Tanveer Muhammad
Published: July 2024

The effectiveness of the rule of law and general institutional quality are critical for encouraging Renewable Energy Consumption (REC), which facilitates the Renewable Energy Transition (RET). This concept is empirically tested in Saudi Arabia, using data spanning 1996–2022. Our findings show that there are substantial long- and short-term correlations within the model, demonstrating a positive association between RET and all evaluated variables of institutional quality. The long-term favorable impact of the rule of law is also remarkable, implying that reforms in legal and regulatory frameworks could result in an instant boost in RET. Similarly, control of corruption, as well as voice and accountability, have positive long- and short-term impacts. However, our data shows that economic growth has no substantial impact on RET. As a result, we urge that the Saudi economy emphasize efforts to improve institutional quality as a means of advancing the Renewable Energy Transition agenda. Strengthening the rule of law, reducing corruption, and increasing voice and accountability procedures can all contribute to the development of renewable energy in Saudi Arabia, propelling the country toward a more sustainable energy future.

Coherence in Ibn Zaydu:n’s Prison Poetry: A Performative-Stylistic Reading of the Si:niyya
Authors: Alhourani Mohammad Issa , Hussein Elham T. , Muhaidat Fatima , Alshalabi Nahla , Adel Mohammed Abou
Published: July 2024

This study of Ibn Zaydu:n’s Si:niyya contributes to the numerous attempts that have been carried out over the last two decades to analyze the classical Arabic qasi:da using recent criticism. Through a performative-stylistic reading and an in-depth analysis of the poem in the context of Ibn Zaydu:n’s prison experience, the study shows that the poem is thematically, structurally, psychologically, and spiritually unified. The Si:niyya is typically classified as a poem of beseech, which has a clear function: to secure the release of Ibn Zaydu:n from prison. This function operates as a unifying string that brings the various units and elements of the poem together. This study also illustrates that, at a thematic and stylistic level, Ibn Zaydu:n has succeeded in maintaining a delicate balance between preserving his dignity while asking his friend to intervene on his behalf. Rhythmically, however, the poem betrays the poet’s deep sense of insecurity and resentment.

The Legal Situation for Orphan Works Under the Republic of Albania's Copyright Regime
Authors: Muçmataj Ilda , Çami Vorpsi Laura
Published: July 2024

The development of digital technology has revolutionized the public's access to and utilization of protected works. Pre-existing analog works can now be easily converted into digital formats, providing users with various reuse opportunities. Libraries, museums, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions have embraced the digital revolution by digitizing their cultural and scientific collections. In addition to preserving these invaluable assets, they also aim to provide online access to their materials. However, despite their valuable efforts, these institutions often face significant challenges in locating and identifying the copyright holders to obtain the necessary authorization. This can lead to uncertainties regarding the legality of making these works available online, as using copyrighted materials without prior consent can expose them to the risk of copyright infringement claims. In the Republic of Albania, where cultural heritage institutions are also grappling with these challenges, the potential for infringement underlines the urgent need for efficient mechanisms to handle copyright-related matters when undertaking such ambitious projects. This article aims to present and analyze legal solutions that can facilitate the use of orphan works without infringing on copyright. It also delves into the potential challenges that may arise in implementing such legislation. Additionally, this article outlines the procedure for termination of orphan work status and the requirements for a reasonable compensation calculation for reappearing authors/right holders. Finally, it recommends further improvements to copyright and related rights legislation.

The Declaration of Independence (1945) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and its Role in the Struggle for Independence of the People Worldwide
Authors: Thi Tham Hoang
Published: July 2024

In the journey of fighting for the independence of people around the world, the Vietnamese people courageously stood up and fought against the invasion of the colonial French, which lasted more than 80 years, to regain independence for the nation through the general uprising in August 1945. On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, in front of tens of thousands of compatriots nationwide, on behalf of the Provisional Revolutionary Government, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. With core values about national rights and human rights, the Declaration of Independence is the crystallization of the highest of these values for humanity and contains contemporary significance and a profound strategic vision. Using historical methods, comparative methods, and analytical methods, the article focuses on solving four issues: (1) clarify the historical context of the Declaration; (2) clarify the basic content of the Declaration of Independence; (3) evaluate and affirm the meaning and value of the Declaration in the process of fighting for the independence of people around the world; and (4) draw some conclusions about the research problems.

Kota Payakumbuh and Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota are experiencing rapid development in the fields of economy and tourism, attracting many visitors from both local and out of town. The increase in new tourist destinations has increased traffic movement in these areas. This research was conducted to plan flexible pavement using the Bina Marga 2017 method on the Padang Mengatas road section, aiming to improve future transportation comfort and meet the increasing traffic needs, thereby supporting economic and tourism growth in the region. This study uses a quantitative method, where the initial evaluation determines the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) and soil data (field CBR), essential information for pavement design. The research results show that the flexible pavement layer using the Bina Marga method has a CBR value of 3.1% and an ADT of 5792 vehicles per day. The recommended pavement layers consist of AC-WC with a thickness of 4 cm, AC-BC with a thickness of 6 cm, and a top foundation layer with a thickness of 40 cm.
Geotechnical investigation, landslide mechanism and countermeasure on the road above the soft-medium clay
Authors: Syah Aminudin ,   Universitas Lampung, Alami Fikri ,   Universitas Lampung
Published: July 2024

A landslide event occurred in Sukarami, Lahat Regency, in early 2024. This study investigates the landslide mechanism, analyzes the influence of groundwater level rise and load on slope stability, and proposes a management concept. The methodology employed a landslide survey, soil investigation, and limit equilibrium-based stability analysis. Field investigations and surveys revealed that the landslide resulted from a decrease in the shear strength parameter of the surrounding soil layer triggered by rainfall and road drainage runoff. The slip plane, located within a soft to medium consistency clay layer, exhibits high susceptibility to water-induced instability. Numerical simulations demonstrated a negative correlation between groundwater level and slope safety factor, particularly when the water table reaches the critical slip plane. The implementation of a combined gabion, DPT, and minipile reinforcement system can enhance slope stability and elevate the safety factor to meet established standards. Notably, the addition of vehicle loads up to 30 kN/m2 exerted an insignificant influence on slope stability.
