Published: December 2024

East Java Province is a region with significant economic contribution in Indonesia, occupying the third position nationally with a contribution of 14.26%. However, despite its rapid economic growth, East Java still faces welfare challenges, especially in terms of poverty which is still relatively high compared to other provinces on the island of Java. The poverty rate in East Java is on a downward trend, but it still remains above the national average. This condition indicates an imbalance in the welfare of the community in the East Java region. Welfare is measured based on the ability of the community to meet decent, healthy, and productive basic needs, with the Human Development Index (HDI) as one of the main indicators. HDI can measure human development achievements based on several basic components of quality of life, including the education dimension, the age and health dimension, and the standard of decent living. Therefore, the government needs to group regions with appropriate characteristics to make it easier to make policies. One of the statistical analyses that can be used in this study is cluster analysis. The results of this study are that East Java Province in 2023 shows a diversity of welfare indicators, such as TPT, HDI, and AHH, reflecting differences in economic, educational, and health conditions between regions. The cluster method with the best assessment in this study is the K-Means method with five clusters. The characteristics in clusters I and II tend to have low welfare, while clusters III, IV, and V show better welfare. The results of this study show a change in the number of clusters compared to previous research conducted by Muhammad Fikry Al Farizi et al. in 2022. The previous study produced four clusters using the average linkage method.

Analysis
Authors: Rhymee Hamizah , Shams Shahriar , Ratanyake Uditha , Abdul Rahman Ena Kartina
Published: December 2024

This study presents a novel approach to predicting paddy yields in Brunei's Wasan Rice
Scheme using projected normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values derived from
climate projections under three time periods: near future (2020–2046), mid-future (2047–2073),
and far future (2074–2100). Employing CMIP6 socioeconomic pathways (SSP245, SSP370,
SSP585), random forest (RF) and multiple linear regression (MLR) models were utilised to link
historical NDVI with meteorological factors such as rainfall and temperature. Results indicate that
main-season yields are expected to decline or stabilize across scenarios, while off-season NDVI
consistently increases, reflecting robust vegetation recovery. These findings emphasise the
differential impacts of climate change across growing seasons, providing critical insights for
agricultural planning and adaptation strategies. By integrating scenario-based NDVI projections
and predictive modeling, this study offers a comprehensive framework for understanding future
crop dynamics under changing climatic conditions.

Utility-first CSS frameworks have revolutionized web development by offering predefined utility
classes that streamline the design process and reduce the need for custom CSS. However, selecting
the right framework can be challenging due to the variety of available options. This paper addresses
the problem of choosing between two of the leading utility-first CSS frameworks Tailwind CSS
and Tachyons by providing a comparative analysis based on key factors such as size, load speed,
flexibility, ease of use, and community support. The objective of this research is to identify the
strengths and weaknesses of both frameworks, helping developers make informed decisions based
on project needs. Our methodology involved testing load speeds using Locust for performance
analysis, reviewing community support through GitHub repositories and forums, and assessing the
flexibility and ease of use through practical development tasks. The results revealed that while
both frameworks are robust, Tachyons excels in performance and simplicity due to its smaller size,
whereas Tailwind CSS offers greater customization and flexibility, making it more suitable for
complex projects. The novelty of this research lies in its direct comparison of utility-first
frameworks, highlighting how developer preferences and project requirements play a crucial role
in framework selection. In summary, this study provides valuable insights for developers looking
to optimize web development workflows by selecting the most appropriate CSS framework based
on specific project goals.

Whether you are looking from personal or creative stand­point, Goderdzi Chokheli was a reclusive person. The inner conflict he had with life was the cause of many events for him. In one poem, he seemed to ex­plain the essence of this contradiction: “I left one world and I came to ano­ther”. This “other” was alien to him. Of course, life required adaptation, com­promise, but it could not adapt Goderdzi Chokheli to its pattern. In the constant and intense conf­lict, sometimes one won and sometimes the other. At last, G. Cho­kheli took refuge in art and turned the creative process into an arena in which he overcame soulless and godless modernity and imposed his own order on it. Here began the tragic perception of reality, of life in general, which brought on the aesthetics of Chokheli.
Chokheli's relationship with the world is a model of Christian thinking – experience eternity in a transient world. With this intention, he began to compose a new emotional reality. We can divide people into two groups in his work: those filled with kindness and those defiled by cruelty. From this point of view, the writer's position is also obvious and does not require special research. His rhetorical question also sounds natural: “Why is my being enveloped by this ephemeral world, which is cloudy as fog?!”.
The unstoppable process of human cruelty exposes and inten­sifies the feeling that the drama of kindness has begun, the apo­calyptic time has come. Although, Chokheli's stories take place in geographically limited area, the cry of the microcosm could be heard from Gudamakari. Chokheli's artistic thinking, his work is the revealed secret of the visible and the invisible, the reality and the fiction, the real and the mythical. That is why he is the bearer of the unshakable code of culture and tradition at the same time.
Goderdzi Chokheli's characters are strange people, strange in their life and death. He depicts people with the heart of an angel who believe that honesty is the pride of a man. Faithfulness and protection of spiritual values ​​turned out to be completely incom­patible for the era of the writer. That's why he was looking for lost love and kindness, collecting sorrows to ease our sadness and pain.

Maximum lq-likelihood estimator of the heavy-tailed distribution parameter
Authors: Kouider Mohammed Ridha , Idiou Nesrine , Toumi Samia , Benatia Fatah
Published: December 2024

Studying the extreme value theory (EVT) involves multiple main objectives, among them the estimation of the tail index parameter. Some estimation methods are used to estimate the tail index parameter like maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Additionally, the Hill estimator is one type of maximum likelihood estimator, which is a more robust with a large sample than a small sample. This research proposes the construction of an alternative estimator for the parameter of the heavy-tailed distribution using the maximum lq-likelihood estimation (MLqE) approach in order to adapt the ML and Hill estimator with the small sample. Furthermore, the maximum lq-likelihood estimator asymptotic normality is established. Moreover, several simulation studies in order to compare the MLq estimator with the ML estimators are provided. In the excesses over high suitable threshold values the number of the largest observation k will lead to an efficient estimate of the Hill estimator. For this, selection of k in the Hill estimator was investigated using the method of the quantile type 8 which is effective with the hydrology data. The performance of the Hill estimator and the lq-Hill estimator is subsequently compared by employing real relies with the distribution of hydrology data.
Trends and drivers of housing affordability in the EU
Authors: Arnerić Josip , Kikerec Matej , Skoko Branimir
Published: December 2024

Housing affordability is a crucial issue that affects both individual and societal well-being. Affordable housing ensures that households can meet their basic living needs without experiencing undue financial stress. It influences labor mobility, consumer spending, economic growth, and resilience. Typically, housing affordability is measured by the proportion of household income spent on housing costs, including rent or mortgage payments, utilities, and maintenance. However, no single metric is universally accepted (cost-to-income ratio, residual income approach or subjective measures assessing households' perceptions of their housing affordability). These diverse indicators reflect the complexity of housing affordability and highlight the need for comprehensive analysis using multiple metrics, which is the purpose of this paper. Panel analysis of the socio-economic and demographic demand and supply drivers of housing affordability is essential for developing effective policies that ensure all citizens have access to adequate and affordable housing, as many European Union countries have faced a housing affordability crisis characterized by rising housing prices, housing costs and insufficient housing units supply.

Published: December 2024

This study developed a CAD model of a female foot using computed tomography (CT) data from the National Institutes of Health's Visible Human Project. The CT data was segmented and edited using Materialise Mimics and Geomagic Wrap. The refined models offer detailed NURBS-based geometries suitable for finite element analysis. Pressure distribution data, crucial for realistic biomechanical simulations, was obtained using a Tekscan pressure mat, allowing for the integration of applied loads into the models to simulate actual foot mechanics. The integration of anatomically precise CAD models with functional load data provides a simulation process that can lead to improved solutions for foot-related ailments. This methodology paves the way for future research to leverage these models in predicting biomechanical responses under various loading conditions, enhancing our understanding of foot dynamics and aiding in the development of targeted interventions.

The Role of Weak Forms in English Rhythm and Intonation: Implications for Language Learning
Authors: Ashrafova Ilaha
Published: December 2024

Weak Forms in English pronunciation play a critical role in shaping the rhythm, melody, and overall naturalness of native speech. This study investigates their phonetic characteristics, occurrence in speech, and implications for English language acquisition. Through an empirical analysis of recorded speech samples from both native and non-native speakers, combined with an extensive literature review, the research highlights significant challenges non-native learners face in understanding and using Weak Forms. Key findings include the prevalence of the schwa /ə/, consonant reduction, and contextual variability in native speech, which are often absent in non-native pronunciation due to gaps in traditional language instruction.
The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating Weak Forms into ESL and EFL curricula to bridge the comprehension gap and enhance learners’ fluency. It also explores how phonetic training, interactive teaching methods, and digital tools can address these challenges. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of English phonology and advocate for a more comprehensive approach to language education that balances grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. By equipping learners with the skills to recognize and employ Weak Forms, educators can foster more effective communication and cultural immersion in English-speaking contexts.

Authors: Martinichen Jonathan , Gomes Marília Miranda Forte
Published: December 2024

Healthcare establishments, to ensure the quality and safety of medical equipment and reduce acquisition and maintenance costs, must rely on in-house, outsourced, or mixed clinical engineering teams. These teams are responsible for planning and executing the acquisition and maintenance of equipment, whose performance indicators vary depending on the establishment and its maintenance team, allowing for the monitoring of service efficiency. This study aims to present the profile of Clinical Engineering teams and analyze the relationship between performance indicators and the composition of Clinical Engineering sectors and the characteristics of healthcare establishments. Questionnaires were sent to clinical engineers across Brazil, members of a WhatsApp group called “Engenharia Clínica Brasil.” The questionnaire collects data on engineers' education, establishment characteristics, team profiles, and quality indicators related to maintenance activities. The results show a balance between in-house teams (42.6%) and outsourced teams (44.4%), with only 13% being mixed teams. In-house teams are composed of up to 4 technicians (62.5%) and mainly work in private hospitals (56.5%). Outsourced teams have 5 or more technicians (69.6%) and mainly work in public hospitals (75%). The research indicates that the composition of the teams and the characteristics of the establishments influence the effectiveness and efficiency of maintenance activities. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare establishments to monitor the performance of their teams to ensure the quality and safety of equipment while minimizing costs.

O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário aplicado a estudantes do curso de medicina de uma Universidade privada em Imperatriz-MA, devidamente matriculados no período de agosto de 2023 à junho de 2024. A realização do estudo se deu após a aprovação do presente projeto no Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, seguindo a resolução 466/12 do CNS. A coleta de dados foi realizada através da aceitação voluntária dos participantes e após a assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido – TCLE. Resultados e Discussão: Evidenciou-se que estes são majoritariamente jovens de 18 à 23 anos, com prevalência no uso de ansiolíticos, antidepressivos e anfetaminas. Tais dados demonstram busca por alívio de sintomas emocionais e cognitivos que cruzam o caminho dos estudantes em resposta à pressão intensa vivenciada no curso. Considerações finais: É de suma importância que o assunto seja mais explorado no academicamente, tendo em vista baixo número de artigos encontrados e a relevância da temática quando trabalhada na área da saúde mental e uso crescente de fármacos que possam alterar as funções cognitivas. Nessa mesma perspectiva, pesquisas aprofundando o consumo indiscriminado das substâncias citadas entre os estudantes de medicina também se tornam indispensáveis.

A adoção do IPTU Verde nos municípios da Amazônia surge como uma proposta importante para promover a preservação ambiental em uma região que enfrenta graves desafios ecológicos. Este estudo visa identificar mecanismos, políticas públicas e ações de extrafiscalidade tributária que incentivem o desenvolvimento sustentável, analisando a viabilidade do IPTU Verde. A pesquisa revela que, apesar do potencial desse instrumento tributário para fomentar práticas sustentáveis, sua efetividade depende de ações educativas e da conscientização da população sobre os benefícios ambientais e econômicos relacionados. A análise da literatura indica que a extrafiscalidade tributária pode servir como um meio de intervenção estatal, promovendo a sustentabilidade e a justiça socioambiental. O IPTU Verde se destaca como um exemplo de incentivo fiscal, já implementado em cidades como Manaus e Salvador, que proporciona benefícios para imóveis que adotam práticas sustentáveis. No entanto, é evidente que a mera existência de tais políticas não é suficiente; é necessário um compromisso contínuo com a avaliação e adaptação dessas iniciativas. De modo geral, a extrafiscalidade tributária representa uma ferramenta valiosa para o desenvolvimento sustentável na Amazônia, permitindo ao Estado utilizar a tributação não apenas para arrecadar, mas também para promover a conservação ambiental. Portanto, a implementação do IPTU Verde e a criação de políticas fiscais bem estruturadas são essenciais para engajar a população e garantir que os incentivos cheguem a todas as comunidades, fortalecendo assim a proteção dos ecossistemas amazônicos.

Published: December 2024

Dental prostheses are essential solutions for edentulous patients, providing oral rehabilitation and improving quality of life. However, ill-fitting dentures and inadequate oral hygiene practices can lead to oral lesions, such as traumatic ulcers, fibrous hyperplasia, and denture stomatitis. This study reviews articles published between 2020 and 2024 from PubMed, SciELO, and Scopus databases to identify the most common complications and discuss the importance of correct adaptation and preventive hygiene to avoid these lesions. Results indicate that proper denture adjustments and rigorous hygiene practices can significantly reduce the incidence of these issues, particularly in elderly patients. The findings suggest that dental professionals should prioritize periodic prosthetic adjustments and provide thorough patient education on oral hygiene to minimize the risk of lesions associated with denture use.

The study examines advanced cybersecurity strategies for health management systems focusing on emerging technologies involving blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the security frameworks of Internet of Medical Things. Health management systems are more increasingly exposed to cybersecurity threats; hence, techniques for the protection of sensitive patient data are strengthened. In this present work, an effort has been made to assess how blockchain can be used effectively for storing data securely and thus achieve a very high penetration of reducing unauthorized access attempts at 97%. AI-driven threat detection systems achieved a 94% strength in the detection of health systems threats while traditional systems were at 12%. Adaptive key rotation for device authentication within IoT security framework resulted in a 92% success rate in guarding IoMT network against a data breach. Therefore, the convergence of these three technologies indicates an all-encompassing multilayered approach to security with enhanced resilience and integrity of data. This area needs constant innovation in light of the security issues to keep up with health management systems that maintain privacy and reliability. Sector-specific adaptations will drive further light on these technologies and provide more robust cybersecurity within the health sector.
