A competition model for prediction of admission scores of colleges and universities in Chinese college entrance examination
Authors: Chen Xiao , Peng Yi , Gao Yachun , Cai Shimin
Published: October 2022

Predicting the admission scores of colleges and universities is significant for high school graduates in the College Entrance Examination in China (which is also called “Gaokao” for short). The practice of parallel application for the students after Gaokao not only puts forward a question about how students could make the best of their scores and make the best choice, but also results in the strong competition among different colleges and universities, with the institutions all striving to admit high-performing students in this examination. However, existing prevailing prediction algorithms and models of the admission score of the colleges and universities based on machine learning methods do not take such competitive relationship into consideration, but simply make predictions for individual college or university, causing low predication accuracy and poor generalization capability. This paper intends to analyze such competitive relationship by extracting the important features (e.g., project, location and score discrepancy) of colleges and universities. A novel competition model incorporating the coarse clustering is thus proposed to make the predictions for colleges and universities in a same cluster. By using Gaokao data of Shanxi province in China from 2016 to 2019, we testify the proposed model in comparison with several benchmark methods. The experimental results show that the precision within the error of 3 points and 5 points are 7.3% and 2.8% higher respectively than the second-best algorithm. It has proven that the competition model has the capability to fit the competitive relationship, thus improving the predication accuracy to a large extent. Theoretically, the method proposed could provide a more advanced and comprehensive view about the analysis of factors that may influence the admission score of higher institutions. Practically, the model proposed with high accuracy could help the students make the best of their scores and apply for the college and universities more scientifically.
PPTPS: Building privacy-preserving auditable service with traceable timeliness for public cloud storage

Published: October 2022

Many works are designed to improve efficiency or enhance security and privacy of publicly-auditable cloud storage. However, building timeliness for cloud storage has not been well studied. Few works presented time-sensitive cloud storage and only focused on specific issues, such as the earliest creation time of files or resistance against a procrastinating auditor. Therefore, there leaves an absence of building traceable timeliness for publicly-auditable cloud storage. In this paper, we propose a solution PPTPS to buildPrivacy-Preserving auditable service with Traceable timeliness forPublic cloudStorage. First, we use the security properties of the blockchain to provide a time-stamp for each phase. It enables the timeliness of cloud storage. Second, we construct efficient publicly-verifiable cloud storage. Third, a customized random mask solution is proposed to prevent privacy leakage during the auditing phase. Moreover, we formally proved the security of PPTPS. At last, experimental results demonstrate that PPTPS is economically sound and technically viable.
Correlation analysis of combined layers in multiplex networks based on entropy
Authors: Wang Dan , Tian Feng , Wei Daijun
Published: October 2022

The interactions between layers of a multiplex network would generate new structural features, the most prominent feature being the existence of link overlaps between layers. How to capture the associations with the network behavior through the structural interaction between the combined layers of the multiplex network is a critical issue. In this paper, a new structure entropy is proposed by combining the overlapping links between the combined layers of a multiplex network. The correlation between layers is evaluated by structure entropy, and the results are consistent with the behaviors exhibited by the network. In addition, the validity and applicability of the proposed method were verified by conducting trials on four sets of real multiplex network data, which included the multiplex social network of a research department at Aarhus, tailor shop multiplex network, C. elegans multiplex network, and the network collected by Vickers from 29 seventh grade students in a school in Victoria.

Published: October 2022

Three-dimensional surgical simulation, already in use for hepatic surgery, can be used in pancreatic surgery. However, some problems still need to be overcome to achieve more precise pancreatic surgical simulation. The present study evaluates the performance of SYNAPSE VINCENT® (version 6.6, Fujifilm Medical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) in the semiautomated surgical simulation of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic ducts, and peripancreatic vessels using an artificial intelligence (AI) engine designed with deep learning algorithms. One-hundred pancreatic cancer patients and a control group of 100 nonpancreatic cancer patients were enrolled. The evaluation methods for visualizing the extraction were compared using the Dice coefficient (DC). In the pancreatic cancer patients, tumor size, position, and stagewise correlations with the pancreatic parenchymal DC were analyzed. The relationship between the pancreatic duct diameter and the DC, and between the manually and AI-measured diameters of the pancreatic duct were analyzed. In the pancreatic cancer/control groups, the pancreatic parenchymal DC and pancreatic duct extraction were 0.83/0.86 and 0.84/0.77. The DC of the arteries (portal veins/veins) and associated sensitivity and specificity were 0.89/0.88 (0.89/0.88), 0.85/0.83 (0.85/0.82), and 0.82/0.81 (0.84/0.81), respectively. No correlations were observed between pancreatic parenchymal DC and tumor size, position, or stage. No correlation was observed between the pancreatic duct diameter and the DC. A positive correlation (r = 0.61, p<0.001) was observed between the manually and AI-measured diameters of the pancreatic duct. Extraction of the pancreatic parenchyma, pancreatic duct, and surrounding vessels with the SYNAPSE VINCENT® AI engine assumed to be useful as surgical simulation.

Published: October 2022

The emergence of Plasmodium falciparum parasite resistance to dihydroartemisinin + piperaquine (PPQ) in Southeast Asia threatens plans to increase the global use of this first-line antimalarial combination. High-level PPQ resistance appears to be mediated primarily by novel mutations in the P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT), which enhance parasite survival at high PPQ concentrations in vitro and increase the risk of dihydroartemisinin + PPQ treatment failure in patients. Using isogenic Dd2 parasites expressing contemporary pfcrt alleles with differential in vitro PPQ susceptibilities, we herein characterize the molecular and physiological adaptations that define PPQ resistance in vitro. Using drug uptake and cellular heme fractionation assays we report that the F145I, M343L, and G353V PfCRT mutations differentially impact PPQ and chloroquine efflux. These mutations also modulate proteolytic degradation of host hemoglobin and the chemical inactivation of reactive heme species. Peptidomic analyses reveal significantly higher accumulation of putative hemoglobin-derived peptides in the PPQ-resistant mutant PfCRT isoforms compared to parental PPQ-sensitive Dd2. Joint transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of late trophozoites from PPQ-resistant or -sensitive isogenic lines reveals differential expression of genes involved in protein translation and cellular metabolism. PPQ-resistant parasites also show increased susceptibility to an inhibitor of the P. falciparum M17 aminopeptidase that operates on short globin-derived peptides. These results reveal unique physiological changes caused by the gain of PPQ resistance and highlight the potential therapeutic value of targeting peptide metabolism in P. falciparum.
The metamorphoses of the subject under trauma

Published: October 2022

This article is a reading of Emmanuel Falque’s Hors phénomène. Essai aux confins de la phénoménalité, published by Herman in 2021. In its first section the article presents the main theses of the book and comments on its style. In the second section it discusses the question of the subject by means of the movement that goes from de-subjectivation to the hypothesis of a re-subjectivation, through the hyper-subjectivation of suffering. Finally, in its third section, the text pinpoints three perplexities, questioning the ontology of the subject at work in this philosophy, the conditions of possibility of a return from the depths of Hors phénomène, and the question of intersubjectivity for a “connected solitude”.

Authors: Piamo Morales Alberto , García Rojas Mayra
Published: October 2022

Los Yanomami viven en grandes casas comunales donde todo el pueblo convive bajo un techo común de hojas de palma llamado shabono, dentro de sus valores morales y culturales es fundamental, el compartir y la generosidad, y contrario a ello, la actitud más reprochable y deleznable es ser mezquino, avaro, tacaño, egoísta.

Objetivo: Describir el contexto bioético del proceso médico asistencial en comunidades indígenas Yanomami del Estado Amazonas en Venezuela desde la perspectiva principialista de la bioética. Métodos: Se realizó una investigación cualitativa etnográfica fundamentada en la experiencia médico-asistencial de los autores, quienes por 2 años convivieron en comunidades Yanomami, ofreciendo servicios de salud. Para el análisis bioético se realizó una evaluación del proceso médico-asistencial y de algunos aspectos sociales desde la perspectiva principialista de la biótica. Desarrollo: La autonomía personal del Yanomami con respecto al servicio de salud se expresa en varios momentos durante la atención médica. Son exigentes en solicitar información de los procederes biomédicos que se les ofrecen. Son capaces de expresar su voluntad anticipada. Como parte del principio de justicia, el Estado venezolano ha desarrollado, aunque insuficientes, un conjunto de estrategias para incrementar la cobertura de los servicios de salud. Conclusiones: Desde un punto de vista bioético, los Yanomami son sujetos de derechos legítimos capaces de expresar su autonomía como personas individuales y únicas dentro de una sociedad en la cual se prima lo colectivo y comunitario.

The Implementation of Space Policy Rules for Development of the Emerging Geographical Regions. Pace Technology Park in Lubuskie Polish Province-a Case Study
Authors: Sługocki Waldemar
Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the problems of the growing and developing space sector in Poland, and above all, its impact on building a competitive, knowledge-based economy. The aim of the work was to present the efforts of the regions, focusing on the example of the Lubuskie Voivodeship, aimed at building research, development and implementation infrastructure, thanks to which cooperation is established between the local government at the regional level, the world of science, and enterprises. Thanks to such cooperation, it is possible not only to build real relationships between these environments, and in particular, the result of these interactions will be specific economic cooperation, locating new economic entities in the region, or the formation of new companies operating in the space sector. The main part of the work is a case study which presents the initiative to create a Space Technology Park taken by the local government of the Lubuskie Voivodeship, and carried out jointly with the University of Zielona Góra and Hertz Systems LTD. This is an excellent proof that at the voivodeship level, very important initiatives for the development of the space sector can be undertaken as part of a de facto intraregional regional policy.
‘More Social’ Means ‘More Flawed’: How New Media is Contributing to the Breakdown of Polish Democracy
Authors: Jakubowski Jakub , Pająk-Patkowska Beata
Published: October 2022

It is no coincidence that anti-democratic changes in the recent years in Poland occurred alongside the rapid development of social media. Technologically advanced methods of discourse management (e.g., behavioral targeting) have successfully exploited the poor understanding of social media mechanisms among Poles1 (Drzewiecki, 2010) and created a fertile ground for undermining liberal democracy. Social media have endangered public debate by facilitating the spread of hate speech, fake news, deep fakes, trivialization of public discourse, astroturfing,2 and the use of bots for propaganda purposes. It seems that in the young and unstable Polish democracy, the combination of anti-democratic forces and dynamic development of social media poses a unique threat to the development of society.
Why Women Became the Enemy of Democracy in Poland? The Illiberal Regime’s Response to the Women’ Rights Movement
Authors: Rezmer-Płotka Kamila
Published: October 2022

After the political transformation in Poland, abortion was first regulated by the Law of 7 January 1993, Protection of the Human Fetus and Conditions Permitting Pregnancy Termination. Since then, attempts have been made to change the existing regulation. However, it was in 2016 that there were nationwide protests against changes to abortion provisions, and then in 2020, when the constitutional court ruling limited the possibility of termination of pregnancy in Poland. These protests can be seen in the context of the process of neo-militant democracy rule implementation, that is, the taking over the characteristics of non-democratic regimes by existing democracies under the cover of the regime self-preservation. The aim of this article is to identify and explain the government’s attitude towards women as an enemy of democracy at the institutional level during the two waves of protests. The study shows that during the period considered, restrictions specific to neo-militant democracies in the area of assembly and association, speech and press and restrictions on religious freedom were imposed in order to limit the activity of protesters viewed as enemies of the democratic system.
Podstawy społeczne i ekonomiczne powstania fenomenu złotnictwa wielbarskiego
Authors: Gralak Tomasz
Published: October 2022

In the early first century AC, in the north of Poland (predominantly in Pomerania), the Wielbark culture developed with its group of specific features. Among them were numerous items of jewellery. It seems that their use was related to an extended social hierarchy and distant inter-regional trade contacts. The raw material used by the jewellers was most probably obtained from melted Roman coins. Amber exports were at the economic basis of obtaining the coins. The most frequent forms of trinkets:snake- and adder-inspired bracelets, reverse pear pendants, S-shaped buckles and others, are of entirely foreign origin. Their prototypes can be traced back to the pre-Roman areas along the Danube occupied by the Thracians and the Dacians or the La Tène culture population.
Ołów i władza: plomby Rurykowiczów i Piastów w Europie środkowo-wschodniej
Authors: MUSIN ALEKSANDR
Published: October 2022

The article considers the economic and political use of small lead seals (tag seals) to validate different kinds of social relations in early medieval Poland and Rus’. Originated in Antiquity, the practice of sealing peaked in Byzantium from where it spread to Early Rus’. This is reflected, for example, in the use in late 11th-late 14th centuries of small lead seals referred to as the “Drohiczyn type”. In this paper I put forward an opinion that not all the early medieval small lead seals should be attributed to “coinless economy”. A study of the corpus of small lead seals from Drohiczyn and Czermno, and finds from Mazovia, has identified a group with iconography identical to the Polish Hohlpfennig, suggesting they were commercial-customs small lead seals used by the Piast dynasty, contemporary with the bracteates introduced in the first half/mid-13th-early 14th centuries. The extraordinary number of small lead seals found in Drohiczyn possibly reflects the outstanding position of the town in the Eastern and Central European relationships as well as a short-term relocation of trade routes leading north, caused by the military conflicts of the 1240-1280s in the upper course of the Western Bug. The practice of sealing could have been introduced by Conrad of Mazovia to Poland from Early Rus’. Subsequently, the small Polish lead seals might have contributed to the emergence of lead cloth seals in Western Europe as part of a cultural transfer.

Published: October 2022

Objectives

CellaVision DC-1 (DC-1, Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) is a newly launched digital morphology analyzer that was developed mainly for small to medium-volume laboratories. We evaluated the precision, qualitative performance, comparison of cell counts between DC-1 and manual counting, and turnaround time (TAT) of DC-1.

Methods

Using five peripheral blood smear (PBS) slides spanning normal white blood cell (WBC) range, precision and qualitative performance of DC-1 were evaluated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP15-A3, EP15-Ed3-IG1, and EP12-A2 guidelines. Cell counts of DC-1 and manual counting were compared according to the CLSI EP 09C-ED3 guidelines, and TAT of DC-1 was also compared with TAT of manual counting.

Results

DC-1 showed excellent precision (%CV, 0.0–3.5%), high specificity (98.9–100.0%), and high negative predictive value (98.4–100.0%) in 18 cell classes (12 WBC classes and six non-WBC classes). However, DC-1 showed 0% of positive predictive value in seven cell classes (metamyelocytes, myelocytes, promyelocytes, blasts, plasma cells, nucleated red blood cells, and unidentified). The largest absolute mean differences (%) of DC-1 vs. manual counting was 2.74. Total TAT (min:s) was comparable between DC-1 (8:55) and manual counting (8:55).

Conclusions

This is the first study that comprehensively evaluated the performance of DC-1 including its TAT. DC-1 has a reliable performance that can be used in small to medium-volume laboratories for assisting PBS review. However, DC-1 may make unnecessary workload for cell verification in some cell classes.
Surfactant evaluation for enhanced oil recovery: Phase behavior and interfacial tension
Authors: Nadir Najiah , Shahruddin Sara , Othman Jofry
Published: October 2022

Surfactant flooding is one of the successful techniques employed in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to extract the remaining original oil in place after primary and secondary recoveries are performed. Selection of the right EOR surfactant is an important but demanding task due to a series of screening procedures that need to be executed to have a comprehensive evaluation. This article presents the experimental work done on the initial screening of ten surfactants from three different classes, namely nonionic, anionic, and amphoteric. The screening was completed with three consecutive series of testing, which are surfactant compatibility, phase behavior, and interfacial tension (IFT). Results showed that an anionic surfactant, sodium decylglucoside hydroxypropyl phosphate, passed all tests with the lowest IFT value of 8 × 10−3 mN/m at 0.1 wt% of surfactant concentration.
Characterization of surface decarburization and oxidation behavior of Cr–Mo cold heading steel
Authors: Chen Jilin , Feng Guanghong , Zheng Yaxu , Ma Jian , Lin Peng , Wang Ningtao , Ma Honglei , Zheng Jian
Published: October 2022

Herein, the surface decarburization and oxidation characteristics of Cr–Mo cold heading steel are investigated via optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction under different temperatures. Furthermore, the competitive mechanisms of decarburization and oxidation are analyzed. The results indicate that the heating temperature considerably affects the decarburization and oxidation characteristics of the steel sample. With an increase in the temperature, the depth of the total decarburization layer increases. The fully decarburized layer is prominent between 750 and 850°C and culminates at 800°C. The oxide thickness parabolically increases, and Cr2O3 is present, which inhibits oxidation. Between 700 and 950°C, the oxidation weight gain is slow. The main structure of the oxide scale is the dense Fe3O4 layer, inhibiting decarburization. The oxidation rate increases at 950°C, and the proportion of loose FeO layer in the oxide scale exceeds 66%, promoting decarburization. At >1,000°C, the surface decarburization and oxidation rate simultaneously increase.
Complexity in sign languages

Published: October 2022

Sign languages are human communication systems that are equivalent to spoken language in their capacity for information transfer, but which use a dynamic visual signal for communication. Thus, linguistic metrics of complexity, which are typically developed for linear, symbolic linguistic representation (such as written forms of spoken languages) do not translate easily into sign language analysis. A comparison of physical signal metrics, on the other hand, is complicated by the higher dimensionality (spatial and temporal) of the sign language signal as compared to a speech signal (solely temporal). Here, we review a variety of approaches to operationalizing sign language complexity based on linguistic and physical data, and identify the approaches that allow for high fidelity modeling of the data in the visual domain, while capturing linguistically-relevant features of the sign language signal.
Organoid research on human early development and beyond
Authors: Wen Lu , Tang Fuchou
Published: October 2022

The organoid field has been developing rapidly during the last decade. Organoids for human pre-, peri- and post-implantation development have opened an avenue to study these biological processes in vitro, which have been hampered by lack of accessible research models for long term. The technologies of four fields, single cell omics sequencing, genome editing and lineage tracing, microfluidics and tissue engineering, have fueled the rapid development of the organoid field. In this review, we will discuss the organoid research on human early development as well as future directions of the organoid field combining with other powerful technologies.
The Coptic Translation of Epiphanius of Salamis’s

Ancoratus and the Origenist Controversy in Upper Egypt
Authors: Bull Christian H.
Published: October 2022

Two manuscripts from around the 9th and the 10th century bear witness to a Coptic translation of the Ancoratus, originally written in Greek by Epiphanius, bishop of Salamis, in 374. Like his more famous sequel to this work, the Panarion, the treatise defends Nicene orthodoxy from perceived heretics, mainly Pneumatomachoi, Arians, Manichaeans, and Origenists. The latter are said to be present in Upper Egypt, where they deny the resurrection of this material body in favor of a spiritual body. The present article argues that the Coptic translation likely took place shortly after the composition of the Greek original, indeed the work was in part commissioned to be used against Origenist monastics in Upper Egypt, thus furnishing a valuable testimony to monastic diversity in the Thebaïd and the lead-up to the Origenist Controversy.
Diodore of Tarsus, Theodore of Mopsuestia, and the Interpretation of the Messianic Psalms
Authors: Lee Justin J.
Published: October 2022

For the majority of the patristic tradition, the Psalms are full of prophetic references to Christ, justified by New Testament citations and creative reading strategies. But for two writers from the so-called Antiochene school, Diodore of Tarsus and his student Theodore of Mopsuestia, this is not the case; New Testament use of the Old Testament is not prescriptive and allegory must be avoided at all costs. Diodore and Theodore only recognize four psalms as messianic: Ps 2, 8, 45, and 110. But not only do both theologians read Christ into these psalms, they do so in a manner that is unusual compared to how they approach the rest of the Psalter. This essay seeks to shed light on the reasons underlying these seeming exceptions. Pushing back against the now outdated paradigm of the Antiochene school as purely historical or literal exegesis, this essay will argue that both Diodore and Theodore are motivated not primarily by exegetical method, but more so by theological and textual concerns. More specifically, the readings of these four psalms are shaped by the Antiochene Christological vision found in Heb 1–2, which results in the prioritization of this text over the psalms in question.
Papyrus Havana Book of the Dead spell 194
Authors: López Ivan Rodríguez
Published: October 2022

Papyrus Havana has long being known as the source –among others – of a rare version of the Book of the Dead spell 194, commonly addressed as ‘Anubis and the daemons’ after Heerma van Voss, but until very recent no complete edition of it had been made. A detailed study of the spell copy is presented for the first time, including its reconstruction, transcription, translation and interpretation. Also, a comparative analysis of spell sequences from other related witnesses that connect p. Havana with the Book of the Dead tradition from the Twenty-first Dynasty and the Theban area is presented, along with the spell’s iconographic, textual and historical relationship with other sources like the fishers and fowlers with the net (BD 153) and the Reinigungsszene.
Zur Frühentstehung der Osirisliturgien an den Beispielen der Kapellen des Osiris Ptah Neb Anch und Osiris Neb Anch in Karnak
Authors: Bommas Martin
Published: October 2022

Papyrus Schmitt, dated in early Ptolemaic times, offers a clue to the earliest date of the writing of the mortuary liturgies of the Old and Middle Kingdom, which were transformed into Osiris liturgies. Mortuary liturgies were always recited from papyrus scrolls, as attested for example by the ritual Papyrus BM EA 10819 from the New Kingdom. Examples of Osiris liturgies on papyrus as part of the grave goods of private individuals are generally attested from the early Ptolemaic period onwards. At the same time, there can be no doubt that parts of the mortuary liturgies from the Old and Middle Kingdom were already performed in temples as part of the Osiris cult before their later canonisation on papyrus. In the following, ways of transmission will be presented that can explain the introduction of Osirian recitation texts into the temple cult before the beginning of the Ptolemaic period and thus before the point of time universally accepted for the canonisation of Osiris liturgies.
L’auteur de la porte d’Amon à Karnak
Authors: Preys René
Published: October 2022

The texts and images of the façade of the Ptolemaic gate of the second pylon of Karnak show similarities with the texts of the façade of the Ptolemaic temple of Esna. Numerous divine epithets are unique to those two compositions which also use similar grammatical expressions. The gate of Karnak was engraved during the first phase of the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor. Work on the façade of Esna started five years later during the third phase of the reign. Comparisons between the two temple decorations suggest that both were composed by the same author.

In our study, we examine the theoretical and practical aspects of the elements of urban identity in the dimension of settlement geography. The question arises to what extent urban identity can be explored and concretised from this approach. First, the concept of settlement and the factors that form the basis of it will be examined, and then these will be interpreted from the perspective of settlement identity, with the help of literature sources. Subsequently, we will examine the extent to which the predominance of a particular settlement sphere (or factor) in a settlement is reflected in the settlement identity, using examples from Hungary, settlement websites, and settlement development concepts. The results show, on the one hand, that there are differences in perceptions of the factors of municipal identity, but that they are socially dominant, and, on the other hand, that the predominance of a factor in a municipality may be reflected in the emergence of a stronger identity, but that this is not always true, clear/obvious or traceable.
Microbial community response to drought depends on crop

Growing season drought can be devastating to crop yields. Soil microbial communities have the potential to buffer yield loss under drought through increasing plant drought tolerance and soil water retention. Microbial inoculation on agricultural fields has been shown to increase plant growth, but few studies have examined the impact of microbial inoculation on plant and soil microbial drought tolerance. We conducted a rainout shelter experiment and subsequent greenhouse experiment to explore 3 objectives. First, we evaluated the performance of a large rainout shelter design for studying drought in agricultural fields. Second, we tested how crop (corn vs. soybean) and microbial inoculation alter the response of soil microbial composition, diversity, and biomass to drought. Third, we tested whether field inoculation treatments and drought exposure altered microbial communities in ways that promote plant drought tolerance in future generations. In our field experiment, the effects of drought on soil bacterial composition depended on crop type, while drought decreased bacterial diversity in corn plots and drought decreased microbial biomass carbon in soybean plots. Microbial inoculation did not alter overall microbial community composition, plant growth, or drought tolerance despite our efforts to address common barriers to inoculation success. Still, a history of inoculation affected growth of future plant generations in the greenhouse. Our study demonstrates the importance of plant species in shaping microbial community responses to drought and the importance of legacy effects of microbial inoculation.

Nowadays, model-based technologies have been developed to change the conventional manual progress in measuring progressand productivity in projects management. However, the current literature lacks the proper strategies in developing a model-based construction projects. This study provides the potential strategy to measure progress using model-based technology. A semi-structured interview method was used to get information from industry practitioners. The thematic analysis has been implemented to classify each information into themes. The findings of this study show that four common strategies can be used to measure progress in model-based construction. The strategies are 1) image capturing, 2) management software, 3) modelling and simulation, and 4) report and documentation. Meanwhile, the challenge to implement the method to measure progress in Model-Based Construction Projects is broadly divided into two themes: 1) people and 2) instruments. Hopefully, this study can provide information and strategies to measure progress and productivity in construction in model-based construction projects

Growing demand for river sand supply to cater to the need of expanding concrete industry has a negative impact on the river environment when the mining activity is carried out uncontrollably. Palm Oil Clinker (POC) is a waste material generated from the palm oil industry, which is thrown as environmental polluting waste. This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of POC as partial fine aggregate replacement material on the workability, compressive strength and water absorption of concrete. A total of six concrete mixes containing 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% POC as partial fine aggregate replacement were prepared. All specimens were subjected to water curing until the testing date. Compressive strength and water absorption tests were conducted at 28 days. Incorporation of 20% POC is able to produce concrete with targeted compressive strength. Success in utilising POC as partial fine aggregate replacement in concrete will reduce waste thrown at dumpsites.
Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions of Health Quarantine Law Trespasser in Indonesia
Authors: Rizkiana Rina Elsa , Gerry Michael
Published: October 2022

WHO stated there was an additional variants of the Corona virus that were more easily transmitted and resistant to vaccines. The Indonesian government required to prevent the entry of these variants into Indonesian territory. This prevention realized by implementing a quarantine policy which guided by Law Number 6 of 2018 on Health Quarantine. However, there is a gap between the number of violations and the low rate of case resolution. One of the causes is people's non-compliance with quarantine provisions after traveling abroad. This contradicted by the purpose of the Health Quarantine Act. This study aims to describe the legality and legal construction of the Health Quarantine Act formulation. This research was a normative juridical by using a statute approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that violations of the Health Quarantine Act can be punish in order to provide certainty and law enforcement based on the ultimum remedium principle if they meet the provisions of the Health Quarantine Act. Thus, evaluation of legal content related to juridical consequences, and socialization as a persuasive effort and communication strategy need to be carried out so that transparency of legal consequences can be accepted and obeyed by the community.
Seeking Justice for Indonesian Children: The Juvenile Criminal Justice System in Indonesia in the Context of Criminal Justice Reform
Authors: Pujiani Resty Shelya , Aksan Mutia Azizah , Sinta Maya
Published: October 2022

Children who are in contact with law in Indonesia have their own characteristics and handling procedures through the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. Through Law Number 11 of 2021 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System, the state tries to be present to protect children's rights, even though children are perpetrators of crimes. Handling criminal cases against children is certainly different from handling cases against adults, the handling of children is special because it is also regulated in separate regulations. Understanding of the process of handling children's cases, of course, there may still be some in the community who do not understand or understand, so that sometimes it gives rise to various assessments, even more fatal if there is a misjudgment that the handling of children, especially children in legal conflicts 5 get special treatment and there are also those who think that children cannot be punished even though it is not that far, it's just that the handling process is specifically regulated. This study aims to analyze the concept of justice for children in the Indonesian Child Criminal Justice System within the framework of Criminal Justice Reform. The method used in this study is a mixed method between empirical and normative studies. This method is used to answer the substance of justice contained in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System within the framework of criminal justice reform. The location of this research was specifically carried out in the city of Semarang, and several other cities as supporting material. Supporting data in this study were also obtained from various studies on the internet.
Espiritualidad ifá-orisha afrocaribeña yoruba/lukumí: educación interreligiosa intercultural crítica, descolonialidad y salud biopsicosocial
Authors: López Sierra Hector E
Published: October 2022

This article assumes the approach of the historical-cultural perspective that recognizes the criticism of the role played by ideological values in educational and pedagogical processes in general and in religious education in particular. From critical and decolonial interreligious-intercultural education, the historical background and phenomenology of Afro-Caribbean Ifá-Orisha / Yoruba-Lukumí spirituality are analytically described. This spirituality is a complementary alternative to the positivist, Eurocentric, and biomedical health paradigm. Finally, it concludes with an epilogue where a case study is presented that describes a religious education book that starts from the assumed perspective.

Primates, Coalitions and Small Group Politics
Authors: Peterson Steven A. , Somit Alfred
Published: October 2022

Many scholar's have commented upon the tendency for human decision-making to be subject to shifting coalitions. Madison, among others, noted that this could lead to instability. This paper suggests that there is a biological basis to this propensity. Two case studies of "chimpanzee politics" are examined; both indicate that chimpanzee coalition behavior seems to be underlaid by a kind of cost-benefit calculus. Since chimpanzees are humans' closest relatives, this implies the possibility that human coalition behavior has an evolutionary basis. Implications for human politics are discussed.

Authors: Schultz David
Published: October 2022

This paper examines the historical, philosophical, and theoretical importance of Hegel's concept of constitutionalism by indicating its role in his theory of the modem state. Hegel's view of constitutionalism is distinct from contemporary applications of the term, is crucial to his uttempt to reconcile the diremptions of Modernity, and is used to forge an ethical community in the modern state.

Ulcers, Baseball, and the New Ethical Naturalism
Authors: Moran III Francis
Published: October 2022

Those involved in the current revival of ethical naturalism claim that this approach offers an escape from the inadequacy of moral relativism, especially the nihilism entailed in its denial of objective standards for our normative discourse. From this perspective, nature becomes the foundation of our moral claims. The following discussion generally ignores the logical and ideological issues involved in using nature in this way and instead shows that far from replacing moral relativism an ethics based on current evolutionist theory will ultimately lead to something like the relativist position. I then draw on the rules of baseball and their ability to govern behavior on the field to argue that we ought not necessarily despair our failure to locate an objective basis for our moral theories. Politics and our polilical institutions function in much the same capacity as the baseball establishment: they provide the rules by which the game should be played and the power to enforce compliance.
Explaining Implementation Politics
Authors: Bressler Stephanie L.
Published: October 2022

An implementation politics model is proposed to explain how the extent and direction of policy implementation is determined by the impact of politics and the changing political and economic environments on implementation activities. The model is used to analyze the delay in implementation of the 1978 Pennsylvania Seasonal Farm Labor Act. The primary methodology employed in the research is the interviewing of key participants in the implementation of this law. The model suggests why policy implementation does not unfold in neat progressive stages but instead moves forward and backward according to some dis-cernible patterns based on the opportunities and constraints presented by the changing political and economic environments.
