State of the Fixed Production Assets and Ensuring Industrial Safety
Authors:   STC «Industrial Safety» CJSC, Grazhdankin A.I. , Razumnyak N.L. ,   STC «Industrial Safety» CJSC
Published: July 2023

The level of accident rate at hazardous production facilities is largely determined by the degree of moral and physical depreciation of the fixed assets in the fuel and energy industry. Depreciation factor of the fixed assets is almost always present among the causes of accidents at hazardous production facilities in the modern-day Russia. Fixed assets are large blocks of the industrial safety foundation. Accident rate and injury rate, as inevitable and tragic costs of industrial production, originated in the industrial era, do not disappear in the post-industrialism, and become problematic in the crisis of industrialism. To assess the state of safety at hazardous production facilities, an up-to-date risk-oriented map is required related to the creation, availability, use and maintenance of the fixed assets of industrial production. The information is considered in the article concerning the fixed assets of the Russian industry from the middle of the 20th century to the present, which was obtained according to the statistical data from the official sources of the Central Statistical Office of the USSR and the RSFSR, the State Statistics Committee of Russia, Rosstat, and Rostechnadzor. Despite the stabilization of the asset renewal, in the last 15 years there is a tendency to accelerate the depreciation of fixed assets at hazardous production facilities. With an average renewal rate of 6% per year achieved over the past decade, the fixed assets of industry, including buildings, machinery, and equipment, should work for almost 17 years until they are replaced. In general, over the thirty years of post-Soviet reforms, underinvestment in the fixed capital of the Russian industry amounted to more than 98 trillion rubles, or 24.7 thousand tons of gold, which is more than 10 times the country gold reserve in 2023. Almost half of the «residual resource» was exhausted from the industrial material and technical funds. The current volume of the market for industrial safety expertise of technical devices is sharply incomparable with the scale of the task effectively solved by the economic management on underinvestment in fixed assets in industry of more than 1.5 trillion US dollars for the period from 1991 to 2022. Imported economic management was unable to ensure long-term conservation of the material and technical base of the Russian industry. On average, up to 70% of the equipment used at hazardous production facilities worked out the standard service life. Degree of the depreciation of fixed assets of the fuel industry in Russia in the early twenties exceeded the average industrial level by almost 7 percentage points, while in 2015–2021 the share of completely worn-out facilities in the extractive industry increased by 7.3 percentage points. The functions of supervision over the safe reproduction of industrial fixed assets must be responsibly transferred to the sovereign structures of risk-oriented ensuring of industrial safety in Russia.
Substantiation of the Listed Park of Pumps and Pipe Sections of the Mine Drainage System
Authors:   M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, Ovchinnikov N.P.
Published: July 2023

The complex of drainage system of an underground mining enterprise ensures the safety and continuity of mining operations. Deterioration of the level of reliability of the functioning of the mine drainage system can lead to the following serious consequences. The main link of the mine drainage system is a drainage system equipped with pumping units based on the centrifugal pumps. One of the main criteria for the safe operation of a mine drainage system is its equipment with a sufficient number of pumping units. An assessment of the efficiency of the classical methodology for calculating the listed park of pumping units is given, including consideration of the amendment made to it regarding the given water inflow regime. The main drainage installation of the Udachny underground mine, equipped with sectional pumps, was chosen as the object of research. It is established that the list park of pumping units calculated according to the known methods does not allow to ensure a high level of reliability of the operation of the drainage plant. The same picture is typical for the park of discharge pipe sections of the drainage plant. When calculating the list park of pumping units of a drainage system, it is more expedient to consider not the passport performance of the pump, but its average value between major repairs. The number of pumps under repair depends on the average duration of repair work and the average time between failures of the pump. A method is proposed for calculating the optimal number of pumping units and pipe sections of a drainage system from the point of view of ensuring its reliable level of functioning. The results of the performed research will be useful to the specialists responsible for the design of drainage systems for underground mines and coal mines in the Russian Federation.
Analysis of Frequently Occurring Violations of the Mandatory Requirements in the Field of Activity of Rostechnadzor for the Period 2016–2022
Authors:   Kalashnikov Izhevsk State Technical University, Tyurin A.P.
Published: July 2023

The results of studies of frequent violations of mandatory requirements in the field of activity of the Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service for the period 2016–2022 are presented. The main approaches used to analyze data in this area, which are found in the domestic and international practice, are described. Using the methods of structuring the collected materials considering the division into groups and subgroups in accordance with a certain criterion presented in the source data, and arranging the data in the required order, the causes and types of identified violations are investigated. The enlarged groups of violations detected by different types of state supervision (in the field of nuclear energy use, energy supervision, construction supervision, industrial safety supervision) are identified. The purpose of the study is to systematize open data for the period of 2016–2022 for the subsequent identification of the distribution of the number of recorded cases of violations in various sections — according to the severity of the consequences, as a percentage of detected violations by enlarged groups of violations. When checking the data for compliance with the Pareto rule, it is shown that, on the one hand, 13 % of the detected types of violations of mandatory requirements lead to 80 % of the total number of violations detected, on the other hand, 13.3 % of the main causes of violations also lead to 80 % of the total number of violations detected. The parameters of the presented open data are identified, the completion of which can lead to a refinement of the obtained values in the analysis of the identified violations, as well as the key types of violations, for which there are no well-developed methods for assessing the risk of consequences and the severity of negative consequences.

Authors: Hermawan Sridjaya Rolly , Yuniarto Ir Ahmad
Published: July 2023

The global economic conditions after the COVID pandemic, which have not fully recovered, the vulnerability of global oil prices due to unpredictable external factors, global pressure for decarbonization efforts and the fulfillment of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) parameters to support energy transition, the less competitive condition of oil and gas reserves in Indonesia, and the contract schemes and fiscal incentives in Indonesia that are considered unattractive by investors are part of the tip of the iceberg of uncertainty in the external conditions of the upstream oil and gas industry in Indonesia. In relation to the above conditions, PT Kelola Migas (PT KM) requires a comprehensive strategy formulation process based on a long-term understanding of potential future scenarios that focus on external factors as uncontrollable factors that will significantly impact the company. This research is conducted with a focus on the use of adaptive scenario planning methodology, which will provide a fresh perspective for PT KM in utilizing strategic tools oriented towards the medium and long term. Exploring the implications and mitigation options for each scenario is conducted to provide strategic choices in facing potential situations. The identification of early warning signals for each scenario is also carried out as indicators of changes in the current situation towards one scenario or another.

Authors: Bolarinwa Mojisola A. , Odetunde Mayowa T.
Published: July 2023

Night shift, a common work schedule in 24-hour production companies has been posing some after-effects on workers’ health, ranging from physical to psychological, and lack of response to these effects could result in cognitive deficiencies for workers and increased downtime for organisations. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the night shift on the response time of workers to digital visual stimuli as compared to the day shift. Twenty-two shift operators from a bottling line between the ages of 25 and 35 years were subjected to psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) using an android PVT application (Versor-PVT Version 1.03) to assess their response times to visual stimuli and analysed using the SPSS software to determine the data distribution, skewness, and kurtosis. Based on the determined data distribution, Wilcoxon signed rank test (WSRT) was utilised to determine the level of significance of the differences between the two of them. The recorded minimum and maximum average response times for post-day and post-night shifts respectively were: 609.94 ms and 733.64 ms; 644.56 ms and 944.17 ms. Results clearly showed that night shift has significant negative impact on the response time of tested operators, such as delayed ability to respond to situations, including fault rectification, thus causing safety concern, and reducing productivity. In conclusion, additional cost is imminently incurred on the part of the organisation in settling medical bills and compensations.
The WSRT analysis indicated that there is 95% probability of generating similar results on repeating the experiment under same conditions.

Authors:   Senior Manager Environmental Research Centre CEE Daikin Central Europe, Krapanić Hrvoje
Published: July 2023

The EU Commission draft proposal for the F gas regulation EU 514/2014 review was published in April 2022. This draft proposal is foreseen to adapt to new challenges coming from the EU Green Deal – striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, while keeping also alignment with the EU commitment towards the Montreal Protocol - Kigali amendment. There are different views how the revised F gas regulation should contribute to these goals. This paper analyses elements of the draft proposal in which the proposal: gets more strict for RACHP equipment (product bans) and reduces available amounts of refrigerant on the market (phase down quota) for new equipment as well as for servicing needs. It will also show the challenges of the proposed changes and adaptations, impact on the market and industry of RACHP equipment – relation to energy efficiency of the equipment, availability of the HFC refrigerants, new alternatives, etc.
Wrestling with Biculturalism in Social Work Education
Authors: Glubb-Smith Kelly , Cherry Karen
Published: July 2023

When approached to write a piece on Donna Awatere’s (1984) book Māori Sovereignty from a social work perspective we seized the opportunity to reconsider her work. Revisiting the text after a 30-year-plus hiatus sparked a series of reflective conversations about how we wrestle with teaching biculturalism and our efficacy in preparing students for bicultural practice realities. This article draws upon our co-constructed narratives about what it means to be a social work educator in a bicultural practice landscape. Social work students graduate into an exceedingly complex practice environment fraught with tension about how to resolve inequities across the micro-to-macro continuum. The focus of this article is how Donna Awatere’s work is reflected in the tensions and responsibilities experienced when socialising students into the bicultural mission of social work practice in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Awatere’s Māori Sovereignty Reveals the Obscured Core of Capitalism
Authors: Howard Darelle
Published: July 2023

The effects of capitalism are ubiquitous; however, the core is obscured behind hegemonic power that serves to continuously disempower and exploit the vast majority of people and the environment. As the neoliberal project unleashes capitalism on a global scale (Neilson, 2020, 2021), Marx’s early prediction that capitalism would spread to the four corners of the globe is reflected in the domination of capitalism in this social formation. However, this domination is by no means a homogenous experience. White supremacy runs through the veins of capitalism, weaving assertions of white superiority through the terrain that is wrenched open by colonial projects. Capitalism as a mode of production was thrust upon Māori in Aotearoa. Capitalism displaced (and displaces) the Māori mode of production, a way of life that is fundamentally antithetical to the individualised, privatised, exploitative mode of production foisted upon these lands by British colonialists and their descendants.

Authors: Akulov Aleksey Sergeevich , Bezotosnaya Anna Dmitrievna , Pak Tatiana Vladimirovna
Published: July 2023

The problem of automating the finding of centers of mass for a system of objects on the Earth's surface is considered. This task often arises, for example, in the course of optimizing the logistics network of the company in quickening the order delivery to the customers. Automation of this process contributes to the optimization of the staff involved, improves the quality of decisions on the development of logistics networks by estimating the situation based on data. The authors of the article suggest to use the modified metric K-means machine learning algorithm for determining the optimal locations of distribution centers of the delivery of goods to settlements. Such centers can significantly reduce transportation costs, as well as provide a high level of customer service quality. The research is also touches upon the more complicated cases of using the chosen method for finding warehouse locations, since the process depends on the logistics strategy of the company. The data were analyzed and a set of features suitable for the clustering algorithm as weights was determined. The data were processed and transformed to apply the algorithm. There has been developed a class for finding distances between points on the highways. The optimal number of clusters is calculated. The clustering algorithm has been modified in terms of calculating distances between objects. With the modified algorithm, a set of candidate points for the location of distribution centers was obtained.

Currently, computer vision technologies used in event monitoring systems to solve security problems in the field of transport, data protection, medicine are becoming an increasingly promising direction. Video surveillance sys-tems generate petabytes of data every day, and only a small part is used in processing. The use of video analytics will eliminate the need for storing and processing unnecessary data, their manual viewing, which will directly affect the cost, complexity and speed of solving operational production tasks of responding to incidents. The data from video cameras, information collected from different sources and used together for analysis would make it possible to more effectively and quickly identify and prevent various undesirable events. It is possible to automate the analysis of complex structured data, reducing the influence of the human factor, eliminating errors and abuses, using artificial intelligence methods, neural networks. But modern intelligent video analytics systems have drawbacks. Many systems are focused on the recognition of a certain type of images, can work in limited subject areas and under certain environmental conditions. Recognition algorithms are associated with a large number of false positives, especially in conditions of a rapidly increasing data volume, the degree of uncertainty of input information, therefore, it is proposed to supplement event monitoring systems. The systems contain a large number of settings and rules, which complicates the understanding of the system. There have been described the difficulties of using biometric data in recognition systems due to the legal restrictions, the main stages of designing an event monitoring system, its model, which combines elements of fuzzy logic and pattern recognition methods.

Published: July 2023

Today, many Russian companies working in the field of software development for television and radio broadcasting can extract the necessary data on trends in their field of activity by analyzing information received from foreign competitors, for example, studying specialized popular science literature posted on the official websites of foreign competitors, when analyzing information obtained from exhibitions and presentations. However, the opportunity to comprehensively analyze the novelties of foreign developers patented in the world patent databases will give Russian companies competitive advantages in the formation of strategic development plans. It is proposed to develop a patent landscape based on the data of the global patent array (in English) in the field of television and radio broadcasting, analyze patent trends and predict the development of technologies in this area. The novelty of the developed method for predicting the development of technologies lies in the cooperation of USPTO (USA) patent clustering methods based on the international patent classification and forecasting technological trends using the generated time series. The developed method is implemented in Python; in parallelizing the process of parsing patents, the Multiprocessing library was used, Statsmodels was used to analyze data and carry out the forecasting process, and Matplotlib was used to visualize data. The MySQL database management system was chosen to organize information storage. There were processed 28,591 patents, the process of forecasting the development of television and radio technologies was tested based on the constructed time series in the interval of 2015–2020.

Barnamezős területeknek azokat a területeket nevezzük, amelyeket korábban jellemzően ipari, kereskedelmi vagy katonai célokra használtak, és alacsony koncentrációjú szennyezéssel terheltek, ezért lehetséges az újrahasználat, a funkcióváltás. A barnamezős beruházások zöldmezős beruházásokkal szembeni egyik legfőbb előnye, hogy egyrészt a közmű-infrastruktúrát és úthálózatot nem szükséges már kialakítani, mert ez már kiépült, másrészt a fejlesztés területtakarékos. További előny, hogy a beruházás a környezeti állapotok javítása mellett valósul meg, hozzájárulva a településrész felértékelődéséhez, a fenntartható fejlődéshez.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is a common cause of infectious encephalitis in children, which can lead to severe neurological sequels. There is a new perspective suggesting that herpes simplex encephalitis plays an important role in triggering the synthesis of NMDA receptor antibodies. There have been no data on the incidence of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in Indonesia. Herpes simplex encephalitis was found in these patients as a risk factor for anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. A 9-year-old male patient complained of seizures such as jerking of the right hand and smacking of the lips along with fever for 4 days before being admitted to the hospital. Complaints began with slurred speech and t   inability of fingers to hold objects for the previous 8 days. From the physical examination, it was reported that the patient looked seriously ill, blood pressure was 110/80 mmHg, pulse was 117 beats per minute, the temperature was 38.5 C, and respiratory rate was 24 times per minute.
Another physical examination was within normal limits. The results of a complete blood count at the time of initial treatment of patients showed mild leukocytosis due to a mild increase in monocytes, whereas blood gas and electrolyte analysis showed hypoventilation at the beginning of hospitalization in which mixed acid-base disturbance, respiratory acidosis, and metabolic alkalosis occurred. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in these patients showed mononuclear pleocytosis and the results of immunoserological test in serum indicated HSV1 and HSV2 infection and detected anti-NMDA receptor. Both clinical and laboratory findings in this study supported encephalitis. Herpes simplex virus infection can be a risk factor for patients suffering from anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Mortality in septic patients remains high despite much progress in understanding the definition, pathophysiology, and management of sepsis through sepsis bundles. Both leukocyte count and Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) are relatively inexpensive routine tests for infectious patients. Several studies of leukocytes, total neutrophils, total lymphocytes, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were carried out as alternative parameters for monitoring the severity and as prognostic factors. This study aimed to analyze the difference in leukocytes and NLR based on the outcome of sepsis patients and evaluate their role in predicting death. The study was an analytic cohort of sepsis patients in intensive care at Raden Mattaher Hospital Jambi as the subjects. The research variables were survivor and non-survivor outcomes, leukocyte count, and NLR evaluation at 0, 24, 72, and 144 hours. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 21 test of difference and survival test. There was a total of 34 subjects, which consisted of a group of survivors of 14 patients (41.18%) and non-survivors of 20 patients (58.82%). At the initial diagnosis of sepsis, there was a statistically significant difference in the leukocyte count (p=0.006) and NLR (p=0.042) between survivors and non-survivors. At initial diagnosis, the leukocyte count > 15.49 X 103/µL can predict the death of sepsis patients with a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 4.001. The survival rate of patients with a leukocyte count < 15.49X103/µL and > 15.49 X 103/µL was 89.4% and 64.3%, respectively, which was statistically significant (p=0.0002). At initial diagnosis, NLR with a value of> 13.2 can predict the death of sepsis patients with HR 3.370 (p=0.001). Leukocyte count > 15.49 X 103/µL and NLR > 13.2 at the initial diagnosis of sepsis showed a risk of death of 4.001 and 3.370 times higher risk in the 144-hour evaluation. Leukocyte count > 15.49 X 103/µL and NLR > 13.2 was able to be a predictor of mortality and an indicator of a need for aggressive management in sepsis patients.

Excessive ordering of blood components causes problems such as a lack of proper distribution of blood products between centers, increased costs, and workload of blood banks. Effective use of MSBOS will reduce the cross-match of patient blood samples and reduce unnecessary testing. This is also expected as a way to improve the quality of health services at UNAIR Hospital and reduce patient treatment costs. This study aimed to find out the MSBOS profile for orthopedic surgery at UNAIR Hospital in the period January-June 2021. This study is a cross-sectional study with a sample of orthopedic patients at UNAIR Hospital. The period was 6 months (January-June 2021). Cross-match to Transfusion Ratio (CTR), transfusion probability, and transfusion index calculations were carried out so that MSBOS could be formulated. A total of 33 units of blood were cross-matched from 21 patients in this study, whereas only 5 units of blood were transfused to 4 patients. It was found that 7 out of 8 types of surgeries had a CTR value of more than 2, a total of 6 types of surgeries had a low transfusion probability (below 30), and 6 types of surgeries had a TI below 0.5. In Total Hip Replacement (THR) and ORIF plating symphysis surgery, it is recommended that 2 units of blood be MSBOS, while for others, Group, Screen, Hold (GSH) is recommended. Further research with larger samples is needed to obtain more accurate results.

Sepsis is one of the significant causes of global morbidity and mortality. One of the keystones of sepsis diagnosis and treatment is the Blood Culture (BC) test. BC performed after intravenous Antibiotic Administration (AA) appears to reduce the culture positivity rate. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of AA before obtaining blood culture samples on the positivity rate. This was a retrospective cohort study, conducted from January to February 2020 on patients with suspected sepsis at the Mataram General Hospital from January to December 2019. Patients with valid blood culture tests were included. Out of 178 suspected sepsis patients, 138 samples were culture-negative, and 40 samples were culture-positive. Out of 40 culture-positive patients, 23 (57.5%) samples were obtained before AA, whereas other 17 samples (42.5%) were obtained after AA. In addition, among 138 culture-negative patients, 101 (73.2%) subjects received antibiotics before sampling, and only 37 (26.8%) subjects received antibiotics after sampling. There was a significant difference in the blood culture positivity results between samples taken before and after AA (p=0.001). Samples were taken before AA had a 3.69 times greater possibility of positive culture results than samples taken after AA (OR 3.69; 95% CI 1.77-7.67; p= 0.0005). The percentage of positive culture results among subjects receiving antibiotics before sampling was highest (20%) in those whose samples were taken less than an hour before the next AA. Antibiotics administration of sepsis patients before blood culture sampling gives a lower positivity rate than AA after blood culture sampling.

Coronaviruses commonly infect the respiratory tract, leading to severe pneumonia. Respiratory problems cause numerous acid-base disorders in 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) patients. Several studies have explored laboratory biomarkers used in the management and prognosis of COVID-19 patients during this pandemic; however, only a few focused on blood gas analysis. Determine the blood gas analysis pattern and its association with the outcome of severe COVID-19 patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This retrospective cohort study used secondary data from patients with severe COVID-19 treated in the ICU of Hasanuddin University Hospital between January and December 2021. There was a higher number of male (58.8%) compared to female patients (41.5%), with a mean age of 62 years. Respiratory alkalosis was the most prevalent blood gas disorder (24.4%). Metabolic alkalosis was a blood gas disorder with the highest number of recovery/improvement outcomes (8 patients). There was no significant relationship between blood gas analysis results and the outcome of severe COVID-19. In addition, no specific pattern was found in the results of blood gas analysis. Respiratory alkalosis was the most frequent blood gas disorder detected in these patients.

Geriatric anemia can cause many problems and is a major health condition worldwide and in Indonesia. It is important to know the characteristics and prevalence of anemia among geriatrics in Indonesia, especially in West Java. By using simple hematology parameters to detect anemia in geriatrics, and then giving adequate treatment, morbidity, and mortality due to anemia may decrease in geriatrics. This study aimed to identify the type of anemia, etiology, age, gender, and prevalence of elderly patients with anemia in West Java. This was a cross-sectional study. Patients above 59 years old attending the geriatric clinic in Hasan Sadikin General Hospital and the geriatric community was included in this study to be evaluated for anemia, the characteristics of anemia (normocytic, microcytic, and macrocytic) based on MCV and MCHC, age group (<=65 and > 65 year old), and gender. Among 247 elderly patients, anemia was found in 33 patients (13.64%) and mostly found in females. Mostly represented as normochromic normocytic anemia (78.8%) and microcytic hypochromic anemia (21.2%), respectively. Individuals older than 65 years old were mostly presented with microcytic hypochromic anemia (66.7%). Meanwhile, normocytic normochromic anemia was more commonly found in individuals below 65 years old (12.1%). Anemia was commonly found in people older than 65 years old. The most common type of anemia in geriatrics in West Java was normocytic normochromic. Females experience anemia more than males.
