With the rapid development of information technology, the government of the Republic of Indonesia issued Ministerial Regulation ATR/Ka BPN No. 1 of 2021 on Electronic Certificates and Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021 on Management Rights, Land Rights, Apartment Units, and Land Registration. Electronic land registration is a necessity to increase productivity and efficiency in the Indonesian land registration system. This regulation transitions the land registration system from a paper-based process to an electronic one. This study aims to identify the determining factors for the success of the electronic land certificate program at the Ministry of ATR/BPN. Additionally, it seeks to provide recommendations for the Ministry of ATR/BPN in implementing the electronic land certificate program. The study identifies four main factors: (1) Human Resources (HR), (2) technology, (3) the integration of IT with business processes, and (4) digital leadership. A qualitative research method was used. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with three informants from the Ministry of ATR/BPM and the community of users and prospective users of electronic land certificates. Interviews were carried out directly between researchers and informants. The study findings indicate that the primary factor contributing to the success of digital transformation in the electronic land certificate program at the Ministry of ATR/BPN is human resources. Nevertheless, the expertise and strategic role of technology, as well as the integration of IT with business processes and digital leadership, also constitute critical determinants of success in this program.

Published: August 2024

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of single session infrared sauna, traditional sauna, warm water immersion, and passive recovery from fatigue and muscle cell damage in athletes and nonathletes. Eight male badminton athletes and eight male nonathletes participated in this study. The study participants were treated with submaximal physical activity assessed by ergometer, then recovered with different modalities. Each treatment was separated by one week of a resting period through a randomized crossover design. The recovery modalities of infrared sauna (IRS) were 45±2°C, traditional sauna (TRS) 40±2°C, warm water immersion (WWI) 40±2°C, and passive recovery (PAS) for 20 minutes. Blood lactate, creatine kinase, blood glucose, heart rate, body temperature and level of pain were assessed, immediately after physical activity (pre), after recovery (post), and after 40 minutes of sitting (post-40min). Our findings indicated that the WWI and IRS were effective reducing fatigue in athletes and nonathletes. Moreover, PAS and TRS prevented muscle damage in nonathletes after 60 minutes of physical activity. All the thermal modalities decreased the BGL. The least amount of pain reported during the WWI modality, while the PAS modality tended to cause severe pain. Body temperature measurements were not significantly different among the modalities. According to our data, the WWI is more effective at increasing recovery and preventing muscle cell damage in athletes. Moreover, IRS and TRS are more effective for recovery in nonathletes. Further research needs to be conducted with different sports subjects, different types of exercise, different biomarkers, and physical performance tests.

Published: August 2024

This qualitative study investigates the behavioral beliefs and attitudes of judo teachers toward including individuals with intellectual developmental disorders (IDD) in their judo classes. Conducted across Slovenia, Portugal, France, and France-Polynesia, the research, within the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework, involved interviews with 21 judo teachers using a vignette of a judo practitioner with IDD. Data analyzed using NVivo (2020) highlighted that judo teachers generally view inclusion positively, noting enhancements in pedagogical skills and sensitivity alongside significant benefits for all participants. Judo teachers expressed that inclusion fosters empathy and group cohesion but also raises concerns about potential slowdowns in group progress and increased cognitive demands. Emotional responses varied from fulfilment and pride to concerns over inadequacy and group management. These findings suggest a need for targeted training and accommodations to address challenges and enhance the effectiveness of inclusion.

Large-scale ironworking in Early Medieval protourban settlements: A case study from Mikulčice-Valy, Czech Republic
Authors: Lebsak Michael , Kapusta Jaroslav
Published: August 2024

Pyrometallurgical remnants, including slags and technical ceramics, offer crucial insights into Early Medieval ironworking. Iron held substantial economic significance during this era and its processing is particularly evident in settlement agglomerations and proto-urban sites across Northern and East Central Europe. Despite its importance, large-scale ironworking remains inadequately explored within broader socio-economic contexts. Our study examines around 300 kg of pyrotechnical waste from the northern
suburbium of the Mikulčice-Valy settlement agglomeration (Czech Republic) using macroscopic and metallographic (SEM-EDS, WD-XRF) methods. The findings reveal specialised blacksmithing characterised by intensity and diversity contributing to a better understanding of the operational dynamics and installations in craft-production workshops. We propose that blacksmiths capitalised on the proto-urban environment, satisfying a high demand for diverse iron commodities of a dense population actively engaged in household, agricultural and artisanal work. While elites facilitated access to raw materials and maintained relative peace, direct control over iron production and distribution among the elites appears limited, apart from valuables like weapons. This study sheds light on the complex interplay between ironworkers and political-economic structures, offering new perspectives on the mechanisms driving Early Medieval iron economies.

Multi-Faceted Question Complexity Estimation Targeting Topic Domain-Specificity
Authors: R Sujay , Perumal Suki , Nagraj Yash , Ghei Anushka , K S Srinivas
Published: August 2024

Question difficulty estimation remains a multifaceted challenge in educational and assessment settings. Traditional approaches often focus on surface-level linguistic features or learner comprehension levels, neglecting the intricate interplay of factors contributing to question complexity. This paper presents a novel framework for domain-specific question difficulty estimation, leveraging a suite of NLP techniques and knowledge graph analysis. We introduce four key parameters: Topic Retrieval Cost, Topic Salience, Topic Coherence, and Topic Superficiality, each capturing a distinct facet of question complexity within a given subject domain. These parameters are operationalized through topic modelling, knowledge graph analysis, and information retrieval techniques. A model trained on these features demonstrates the efficacy of our approach in predicting question difficulty. By operationalizing these parameters, our framework offers a novel approach to question complexity estimation, paving the way for more effective question generation, assessment design, and adaptive learning systems across diverse academic disciplines.

Published: August 2024

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in driving economic growth and development in Tanzania. However, the performance of SMEs is hindered by various factors, including the challenges posed by value-added tax (VAT). This study investigates the effects of VAT knowledge and other factors on the performance of SMEs in Morogoro, Tanzania. The research objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key determinants influencing SME success and growth in the region. The study assesses the level of VAT knowledge among SME owners, examines the relationship between VAT knowledge and SME performance, and analyses the impact of factors such as business location, initial capital investment, years of experience, and type of business on overall SME performance. The supply and demand theory are employed as the theoretical framework to understand how changes in costs, induced by VAT, affect the supply decisions of SMEs and consumer responses to price changes. Despite government efforts to address challenges faced by SMEs through regulatory simplification, tax reforms, and digitalization, the performance of SMEs continues to be hindered by VAT-related administrative costs, pricing, and forecasting customer needs. This study aims to fill the research gap by providing valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers and business stakeholders to foster a supportive environment that promotes the sustainable growth and development of the SME sector in Tanzania.

Gridded surface O3, NOx, and CO abundances for model metrics from the South Korean ground station network
Authors: Wilson Calum Patrick , Prather Michael John
Published: August 2024

Abstract. We present gridded surface air quality datasets over South Korea for three key species – ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) during the timeframe of the Korea–US Air Quality (KORUS–AQ) mission (May–June 2016). The tenth degree hourly averaged abundances are constructed from the 300+ air quality network sites using inverse distance weighting with simple declustering. Cross–comparing the interpolated fields against the site data that was used to create them reveals high prediction skill for O3 (80 %) throughout South Korea, and moderate skill (60 %) for CO and NOx on average in densely observed regions after individual mean bias corrections. The gridded O3 and CO interpolations predict the NASA DC–8 observations in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) with high skill (80 %) in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) after subtracting the mean bias. DC–8 NOx observations were much less predictable on account of consistently negative vertical gradients within the PBL. Our gridded products capture the mean and variability of O3 throughout South Korea, and of CO and surface NOx in most site–dense urban centres (SMA, Cheongju, Gwangju, Daegu, Changwon, and Busan).

Abstract. Out-of-classroom Education and Outreach (E&O) initiatives can improve the uptake of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) courses at higher education and can help address gender balances within the fields. Arctic Frontiers, a non-profit organisation based in Tromsø, Norway, has been running various projects under the Young Program banner since 2012. Through their four programs, ranging in levels from Kindergarten to Early Career Professionals (and ages from 5 to 35), over 3000 individuals have been exposed to Arctic research and science through workshops, mentoring, career seminars and excursions. With the rate of climate change in the Arctic and the geopolitical changes in the region, E&O initiatives focusing on Arctic science are now even more crucial, but potentially more challenging to run. This study outlines the main educational activities and the best practices from the last decade, to provide a template for science communication and outreach. Additionally, a first analysis of the reach and success of the program is provided, by identifying trends in participant numbers, geographical interest and demographic identifiers.
Investigation of blade flexibility effects on the loads and wake of a 15 MW wind turbine using a flexible actuator line method
Authors: Trigaux Francois , Chatelain Philippe , Winckelmans Grégoire
Published: August 2024

Abstract. This paper investigates the impact of blade flexibility on the aerodynamics and wake of large offshore turbines using a flexible actuator line method (ALM) coupled to the structural solver BeamDyn in large-eddy simulations. The study considers the IEA 15 MW reference wind turbine in close-to-rated operating conditions. The flexible ALM is first compared to OpenFAST simulations and is shown to consistently predict the rotor aerodynamics and the blade structural dynamics. However, the effect of blade flexibility on the loads is more pronounced when predicted using the ALM compared with using the blade element momentum theory. The wind turbine is then simulated in a neutral turbulent atmospheric boundary layer with flexible and rigid blades. The significant flapwise and torsional mean displacements lead to an overall decrease of 14 % in thrust and 10 % in power compared to a rotor with no deformation. These changes influence the wake through a reduced time-averaged velocity deficit and turbulent kinetic energy. The unsteady loads induced by the rotation in the sheared wind and the turbulent velocity fluctuations are also substantially affected by the flexibility and exhibit a noticeably different spectrum. However, the influence of these load variations on the wake is limited, and the assumption of rigid blades in their deformed geometry is shown to be sufficient to capture the wake dynamics. The influence of the resolution of the flow solver is also evaluated, and the results are shown to remain consistent between different spatial resolutions. Overall, the structural deformations have a substantial impact on the turbine performance, loads, and wake, which emphasizes the importance of considering the flexibility of the blades in simulations of large offshore wind turbines.
Immediate Effect of Semi Occluded Vocal Tract Exercise (SOVTE) on Voice Quality in Elderly Patients: A Case Report
Authors: Singh Vishwadeep , P Deepak
Published: August 2024

Dysphonia is a public health concern affecting communication, social functioning, and quality of life. It is particularly significant in older adults, who are already at higher risk of depression and social isolation. Further communication impairment can worsen these symptoms. As a result, treating dysphonia in older individuals is warranted and necessary. We reported a case of 85 years old male referred to our department with the changes in voice quality since 3-4 months. The acoustic perceptual and indirect laryngoscopy was performed which reveals the predominantly hoarse voice quality. We started with SOVT exercise and immediately after the SOVT exercise, a voice sample was recorded and analysed for six consecutive sessions. During six consecutive sessions of SOVT exercise, we observed a notable improvement in voice quality. Hence, our experience suggests that SOVT exercise can effectively treats dysphonia in the elderly population, with remarkable improvement in voice quality and underscores the challenges and limitations of voice therapy effectiveness for the elderly population. This case report provides the preliminary evidence and further studies are needed to establish its efficacy in large elderly clients with vocal fold pathologies.

Published: August 2024

Objective. To determine a possible assessment of the verification of the genetic group of medulloblastomas based on MRI imaging and quantitative assessment indicators.

Materials and Methods. MRI data of 60 patients with a verified molecular genetic subgroup based on the expression level of selected genes on the Nano String platform were retrospectivel analyzed.

Results. Based on MRI signs of the shape and contrast intensity of the tumor, taking into account the age of the patients, 76 % of medulloblastomas were correctly identified by genetic groups.

Conclusion. The ability to predict the genetic group of the disease in children with medulloblastoma during an initial MRI study with an accuracy of 76 % seems to us important and relevant. Only the first steps have been taken in the development of radiogenomics of medulloblastomas in children.

The classification of CNS tumors with the molecular subgroups of medulloblastomas has allowed modern pediatric oncological practice to apply a differentiated approach to stratification of risk groups and prognosis of the disease. This affects the determination of the scope and the tactics of treatment. The aim of our study was an attempt to systematize and definition the diagnostic radiological signs of the currently known four molecular subgroups of medulloblastomas in children. Thirty-nine (76%) patients diagnosed with medulloblastoma were correctly classified into genetic groups based on radiographic features of shape, contrast intensity, and patient age.
Magnetic Foreign Bodies of the Gastrointestinal Tract in a Child. Clinical Observations
Authors: Olkhova E. B. , Shchedrina K. A.
Published: August 2024

Background. Ingestion of magnetic foreign bodies (MFBs) in pediatric practice has become common in recent years due to the prevalence of toys containing magnets. Ingestion of one small MFB rarely causes damage to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). However, with the non-simultaneous ingestion of multiple MFBs, there is a risk of complications (intestinal perforation, formation of infiltrate, development of intestinal obstruction, peritonitis), which determines the importance of accurate diagnosis and active surgical tactics for patient management.

Objective. Demonstration of the capabilities of ultrasound diagnostics in detecting fixed MFBs of the digestive tract in children.

Materials and Methods. Two clinical observations of MFBs are presented: in the first case, the absence of passage of MFBs through the GIT in an 8-year-old child was the reason for a targeted ultrasound search for magnets with determination of their localization. In the second case, in a 2.5-year-old girl, long-standing MFBs in the GIT simulated the clinical picture of celiac disease due to the formation of gastrointestinal fistulas. The children underwent X-ray examination and ultrasound.

Results. In the first case, echographically it was possible to clearly differentiate the location of MFBs in the lumen of the colon; in the second case, fixed MFBs were echographically differentiated in the upper parts of the abdominal cavity. Complex radiological diagnostics made it possible to optimize the tactics of patient management: in the first case, MFBs were successfully removed during colonoscopy; in the second observation, endoscopic removal of 3 MFBs from the stomach and laparoscopic removal of 24 MFBs from the small intestine and large intestine and separation of interintestinal anastomoses were performed. Both children recovered.

Conclusion. Ultrasound can be recommended as an additional diagnostic method for MFBs of the digestive tract in children to clarify the localization of MFBs and assess complications. Performing an ultrasound is advisable after an X-ray examination, when the approximate localization of MFBs is known.

Minimizing Localization error in Wireless sensor networks Taguchi method
Authors: Srivani Reddy
Published: August 2024

Localization is a key research area in wireless sensor networks. The study focuses on the system's behavioral analysis in terms of minimizing localization error by adjusting parameters such as nodes, network size, communication range, and network deployment. Implementing the Kalman filter in the localization algorithm helps strengthen the technique and improve the success rate in the presence of measurement malfunctions. A series of trials were carried out to an optimal level utilizing the Taguchi technique to determine the most influential parameter among them. Taguchi's experimental research demonstrated that the number of nodes is the most influential factor in reducing inaccuracy in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) localization.

Poulantzas e o Estado Capitalista
Authors: Miliband Ralph
Published: August 2024

Talvez seja oportuno fazer uma ou duas observações preliminares sobre este artigo-crítica. No número 58 da New Left Review (novembro-dezembro de 1969), Nicos Poulantzas escreveu uma crítica bem estimulante e generosa do meu livro The State in Capitalist Society2 ; e no número seguinte da revista3 discuti alguns de seus comentários e tentei responder a algumas de suas críticas. Esse debate atraiu uma significativa atenção, tanto neste país como fora dele: era óbvio que, de modo adequado ou não, tocamos em questões referentes ao Estado que os marxistas e outros consideraram importantes.
Nicolai Hartmann e Georg Lukács
Authors: Tertulian Nicolas
Published: August 2024

O encontro entre a filosofia de Lukács e o pensamento ontológico de Nicolai Hartmann é um assunto raramente abordado na historiografia filosófica. O contato com os grandes trabalhos ontológicos de Hartmann desempenhou, porém, um papel decisivona gênese de A ontologia do ser social. O texto se propõe esclarecer a afinidade profunda entre dois pensamentos que tudo parecia separar. Hartmann cultivava a philosophia perennis, erguida acima das contingências sócio-históricas; Lukács, filósofo engajado nas batalhas do século, construía uma obra saturada de pensamento marxiano. Existem entretanto vínculos significativos: a crítica da fenomenologia de Husserl, a crítica das correntes neopositivistas e sobretudo fortes reservas a respeito de Heidegger.
O espaço político segundo Marx
Authors: Codato Adriano
Published: August 2024

Sustenta-se neste artigo que a análise das obras históricas de Marx permite afirmar que o espaço político não é um “campo” (de lutas sociais por posições estratégicas), nem um “sistema” (de instituições funcionalmente integradas), nem, no sentido mais convencional, uma “estrutura jurídico-política” (apreensível mediante seus efeitos de classe no mundo social). O espaço político pode ser concebido, pelo marxismo clássico, como uma “forma” cujas propriedades são análogas às da forma-mercadoria. A consequência fundamental disso é que a política prática não pode ser apreendida nem analisada como uma aparência social. Daí a inadequação da expressão “cena política” para descrever a visão de Marx sobre o modo de funcionamento do mundo político.

O objetivo do artigo é mostrar que a experiência da escravidão e cativeiro no Brasil Meridional do século XIX também foi estendida aos povos origináriosos indígenas. A ocorrência significativa de expedições de apresamento de mão de obra indígena será recorrente nesse período e, principalmente, ao longo do chamado caminho para o Continente do Sul ou Caminho das Tropas de animais, conduzidas desde os pampas gaúchos no Uruguai, Argentina e província de São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul até a vila de Sorocaba. Tal fato proporcionou a existência de contingentes importantes de indígenas colocados em condições de cativeiro e escravidão.
Limites da disciplina
Authors: Peixoto Costa João Paulo
Published: August 2024

O estudo da relação dos índios com o Correio do Norte do Brasil, durante o governo de Manuel Ignácio de Sampaio no Ceará, foi fundamental para o entendimento de diversos aspectos da história da região. Para a análise da condição indígena, este foi certamente um dos mecanismos de controle e disciplinamento que mais deixou registros acerca de detalhes de sua criação. Por isso, tentaremos apresentar de que maneira os indígenas, através de seus cotidianos de trabalho, se posicionavam enquanto empecilho ao seu disciplinamento e controle por parte da máquina administrativa do Correio, agindo a partir de seus próprios interesses.

A proposta de John Monteiro de povoar de índios a história e a antropologia tem um importante impacto dentro dessas duas disciplinas no Brasil. A partir de nosso ponto de vista como orientandos, colocam-se em perspectiva essas contribuições, apresentando parte das relações que ele tinha como um personagem engajado ética e politicamente com a produção de conhecimento nas universidades, além de apresentar parte das últimas preocupações teóricas que marcam os trabalhos de um segmento de sua “linhagem”.
Reclaiming Digital Sovereignty
Authors: Neudert Lisa-Maria
Published: August 2024

Why has the policy idea of mandating digital platforms with the procedural enforcement of national laws proven to be so widely appealing? This article employs an instrumental case study of Germany’s NetzDG and develops a power-integrated multiple streams approach to examine the power dynamics between nation-states and big tech platforms in the development of digital policy. Drawing on 26 elite interviews, document analysis, and process tracing, the research uncovers a tug-of-war over sovereignty in the digital sphere. This struggle is characterized by the state’s objectives to reclaim power, continuous contention over key resources, and the critical role of policy entrepreneurs, all of which profoundly shape contemporary technology regulations.
