Authors: Trumansyahjaya Kalih , Djafar Abdi Gunawan , Pratiwi Niniek
Published: December 2024

Indonesia is a maritime country with great potential, in various aspects of living natural resources and human resources. Not many people know that Gorontalo is a province that has amazing coastal tourism objects. Since becoming a province, Gorontalo has explored a lot of potential so that it can compete ahead with other provinces, especially in the field of natural tourism. Talking about the potential for natural tourism, in Gorontalo Province, especially Molosipat Village, Pohuwato Regency has several coastal areas with beautiful natural potential so that it is very suitable to be used as a beach tourism spot. The large number of natural potentials in Molosipat village is not followed by a good arrangement of the tourist area so that the natural potential is simply lost to tourists. In connection with these conditions, the focus in the implementation of this service is to provide socialization and training to the community of Molosipat village related to how to organize natural tourism in empowering the natural potential of the coast which is owned by the Molosipat coastal area. This activity is carried out by providing socialization and training which includes: discourse, discussions and structuring the Molosipat beach tourism area. The targets that will be involved in this activity are the Molosipat community, especially those in the Molosipat beach hamlet, youth organizations and Molosipat village officials. The implementation of the "Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Tematik" service activity held in Molosipat Village, Popayato Barat Subdistrict, Pohuwato Regency has been running according to the initial plan, but in the process of implementing it still needs to be done regularly in training and mentoring because this will be useful in developing structuring beach tourism area in the village of Molosipat. Therefore, the form of community service activities in terms of socialization and training on structuring coastal tourism areas to empower the natural potential of the coast should be continued continuously.

Authors: Azib Lamia , Tlemsani Redouane , Belbachir Khadidja , Ouradighi Asmaa
Published: December 2024

Significant progress has been achieved in the field of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) thanks to the development of powerful algorithms. Research based on simplified biological models has led to the emergence of a new class called Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA), which preserves significant partial solutions. Population-Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) is a technique that combines stochastic search and optimization. It is a statistical approach with evolutionary computation similar to EDAs, aimed at adapting recognition systems based on artificial Neural Networks (NN). Our main contribution lies in the improvement achieved by PBIL, which outperforms Genetic Algorithms (GA) by 16% and Evolutionary Strategies (ES) by 9.93%.

Published: December 2024

A learning environment that fosters creativity among students, educators, parents, and other stakeholders to overcome obstacles to better decision-making and teamwork. This paper was set forth to examine the effect of teachers' commitment on school violence reduction in secondary schools in Cameroon. This study employed a quantitative research paradigm using a descriptive survey design to gather data through a structured questionnaire comprising 52 closed-ended items. The target population included secondary school students in Cameroon, with a sample size of 301 students selected via simple random sampling from four regions. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics, utilizing the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) estimation technique. The findings revealed that teachers’ commitment exerts a significant negative influence on school violence reduction in sampled secondary schools in Cameroon. Specifically, increased teachers’ commitment significantly reduces physical and psychological violence among students of secondary schools in the country. Based on the findings, it is observed that educational authorities must prioritize comprehensive teacher training programs focused on violence prevention and intervention strategies, supported by adequate resources, clear guidelines, and a supportive work environment that enhances teacher commitment and effectiveness in addressing school violence.
An accidental sociologist: a reflection on working-class education and becoming an adult learner
Authors: Mckenzie Lisa
Published: December 2024

Higher education should be a social good for everyone and, despite the intentions of university policy on inclusion and diversity with schemes on widening participation, the truth is that for working-class students, university is still a place where they encounter prejudices and feelings
of exclusion. This article uses the method of autoethnography and personal experience to show and to argue that class inequality and the education system are still connected. It argues that policies relating to inclusion or exclusion are not adequate and instead the working-class lens, the
experiences of working-class learners and teachers should be valued pedagogy rather than devalued ’baggage’ that should be left behind.
Optimal OCR coordination in a high penetration distribution power system using a refined immune algorithm with an auto-tuning reproductive mechanism
Authors: Zhan Tung-Sheng , Lee Yih-Der , Jiang Jheng-Lun
Published: December 2024

Integrating an increasing number of distributed energy resources into medium-voltage and low-voltage radial distribution networks is causing significant shifts in power flow and fault current distribution. These changes introduce new challenges for power system protection coordination. We present an adaptive protection coordination strategy designed to address these challenges. The proposed approach involved tracking the connectivity of the system structure to establish a relay numbering sequence, which served as a tracking route. These routes were further categorized into main feeder and branch paths based on the system topology. The strategy to optimize the operation time of overcurrent relays involved adjusting the time multiplier setting (TMS) and pickup current setting (PCS) for each relay, focusing on improving relay coordination. The coordination problem was formulated to minimize the total operation time of both primary and backup relays while adhering to coordination time interval (CTI) constraints. A refined immune algorithm, augmented with an auto-tuning reproductive mechanism, was proposed to determine the optimal time multiplier settings and pickup current settings parameters along the tracking route. We used a 16-bus actual distribution network and the IEEE 37 Bus system with distributed generators to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive protection coordination. The results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm significantly reduced overall operation time and mitigated the impact on protection coordination settings following the integrations. Furthermore, a comparative analysis with other metaheuristic algorithms highlighted the superior efficiency and performance of the proposed approach.
Une nouvelle histoire des Pensées philosophiques
Authors: Boussuge Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

Cette étude complète la présentation du nouveau manuscrit des Pensées philosophiques en revenant sur l’histoire de la publication de l’ouvrage en mars 1746, ainsi que sur sa première réception. Le peu que l’on savait était largement erroné, et beaucoup reste à dire sur la chronologie exacte des opérations ou sur la diffusion de ce livre imprimé clandestinement par Charles Jean Baptiste Delespine pour le compte du libraire Laurent Durand. Une première annexe reprend tout ce qui concerne la publication du livre dans la correspondance de Mme de Grafigny, la source la plus riche et la mieux informée sur le sujet, qui avait été négligée jusqu’alors. Un second appendice détaille les conditions de publication de la traduction de l’Essai sur le mérite et la vertu de Shaftesbury, auquel les Pensées philosophiques sont si étroitement liées. Il est particulièrement important de savoir que l’ouvrage a été publié sous le statut de la permission tacite, qu’il a été soumis à la censure en juillet 1744 et qu’il a été publié par le libraire Michel Antoine David.

Physical, cognitive, and mental function in patients with pre- and post cardiac surgery: A pre–post comparative study
Authors: Prajapati Dipika , Nair Aishwarya
Published: December 2024

Aims and Background:

Cardiac surgery is a lifesaving procedure, however, it is also associated with decline in physical, cognitive, and mental function postsurgery. These impairments are found to be associated not just postsurgery but are also evident before surgery. Hence, this study aims to assess the changes in physical, cognitive, and mental function in patients before and after cardiac surgery.

Methods:

This was a pre–post observational study including 47 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Barthel Index, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used to evaluate physical, cognitive, and mental function, respectively, on 1 day before surgery, postoperative day 3 (POD 3), and POD 7.

Results:

About 68.1% of the patients were functionally independent 1 day before surgery which significantly reduced to 6.4% postsurgery. About 70% of patients already had moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment 1 day before surgery, which increased to 70.2% severe impairment on POD 3. About 40.4% of the patients had moderate anxiety 1 day before surgery that increased to 57.4% postsurgery, while 46.8% of patients had no symptoms of depression 1 day before surgery, but almost 55.3% of the patients had moderate depression postsurgery.

Conclusion:

There was a decline in physical, cognitive as well as mental function both before and after the surgery. The majority of the patients already experienced a decline in physical, cognitive, and mental function before surgery, thereby highlighting the importance of taking detailed preoperative assessment to have the complete picture of the patient’s condition.

Published: December 2024

Work engagement within hospitals may be impacted by job demands and job stress, underscoring the necessity to augment work resources as a protective measure. Initial investigations conducted at Hospital X have revealed a deficiency in work engagement, particularly in the absorption aspect. This study seeks to assess the effects of job demands and job resources on work engagement, with job stress serving as a mediating factor. Employing a quantitative survey methodology with a cross-sectional design, the study involved 104 inpatient nurses as participants. The method used is the Three Box Method and statistical analysis. The findings indicate that work engagement escalates with increased job resources, while higher job demands correlate with decreased work engagement. Furthermore, enhancing job resources has the potential to alleviate job stress, whereas elevated job demands are associated with heightened job stress levels. Notably, work engagement diminishes with escalating job stress. Through the mediation of job stress, job resources, and job demands, there is a discernible impact on work engagement.

Urgensi Profile Pelajar Pancasila Terhadap Siswa Sekolah Dasar
Authors: Thohiroh Nazila Syifa
Published: December 2024

Pancasila as the foundational philosophy of Indonesia has values that are relevant and can shape the character of a good student. This article explains the values of Pancasila such as Belief in the One and Only God, Just and Civilized Humanity, the Unity of Indonesia, Democracy Led by Wisdom of Deliberations among Representatives, and Social Justice for all Indonesians, in language that is easy for elementary school students to understand. Previous research has shown that the application of Pancasila values in the daily lives of elementary school students has significant benefits, such as strengthening a sense of nationality, shaping good character, fostering an attitude of tolerance, increasing harmony between individuals, and developing social awareness. However, if elementary school students do not understand and apply the values of Pancasila, they may experience obstacles in character development, loss of national identity, lack of tolerance, and lack of social awareness. Therefore, it is important for elementary school students to be introduced to and internalize the values of Pancasila through education and practical experience in the school environment, as well as to understand, internalize, and apply the values of Pancasila in their daily lives.

A QUEM PERTENCE O PARDO NO BRASIL?
Authors: Iturriet Henrico , Cardiano Rafael
Published: December 2024

A análise utilizada para a formatação desta pesquisa está invariavelmente ligada à composição reflexiva da autocrítica sociológica, que caminha permanentemente com a história e refaz seus objetos à medida que a realidade se transforma em concomitância entre esses processos. Portanto, ao questionar a categoria parda e a maneira pela qual ela está em disputa na política brasileira, a formulação de uma ideia de pardo-dilema confunde e impede a articulação de um movimento político negro brasileiro. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar essas instâncias e questionar de que lado o pardo brasileiro está na luta política. Para tanto, foram utilizadas referências teóricas-metodológicas diversas, construindo-se num amplo diálogo que tomou a forma de um estudo teórico materialista, visando, primeiramente, a esclarecer a historicidade dos termos e, posteriormente, compreender como o caráter histórico da identidade está ligada à luta de classes brasileira.
BRANQUITUDE, SISTEMA RACIAL DE JUSTIÇA CRIMINAL E PROCESSOS (DE)COLONIAIS: uma análise crítica discursiva
Authors: Santos Pedro Henrique Alves , Ramos Uebert Vinicius das Neves , Jericó Jeifa Alice
Published: December 2024

Em 2020, uma magistrada branca, vinculada ao Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Paraná (TJPR), publicou uma nota de esclarecimento após a repercussão pública da sentença judicial em que descreveu um réu negro como membro de um grupo criminoso devido à sua raça. Assim, discute-se neste estudo o fenômeno da branquitude e a consequente manutenção de pactos narcísicos da branquitude no sistema judiciário brasileiro, identificado por meio da análise de discurso crítica (ADC), em uma nota veiculada no site da Associação dos Magistrados do Paraná (Amapar). Sob uma abordagem qualitativa com propósito descritivo, na análise da ordem discursiva apreendida na nota, observou-se um processo de manutenção de pactos narcísicos da “branquitude” para reforçar o mito da democracia racial no Brasil, enquanto sustenta-se a lógica colonial-moderna-capitalista para constituir um lócus de poder e privilégio. Bem como, neste caso, por meio do caráter institucional do Poder Judiciário, há o reforço do sistema racial de justiça criminal que (re)age através da violência e dominação dos corpos não-brancos e da interseccionalidade para potencializar políticas de empobrecimento em proveito do capitalismo e do avanço civilizatório.

Authors: Silva Eliane da , Alves Júlia Batista
Published: December 2024

O presente estudo objetiva examinar as manifestações contemporâneas do pacto narcísico da branquitude no Brasil, com ênfase na censura ao livro O avesso da pele de Jeferson Tenório (2020), ocorrida em escolas de alguns estados brasileiros em 2024. A metodologia fundamenta-se em dois eixos: o conceito de pacto narcísico da branquitude, definido por Cida Bento (2022) e a análise do episódio de censura à obra de Tenório. Adicionalmente, foram realizadas análises de trechos do livro, relacionando-os com questões de estruturação e perpetuação do racismo no Brasil. A fundamentação teórica inclui contribuições de Jessé Souza (2017), Silvio Almeida (2019), Kabengele Munanga (2005) e Lélia Gonzalez (2020), proporcionando uma base para a compreensão das complexidades do racismo no contexto brasileiro. As discussões sobre o papel da literatura na educação antirracista foram embasadas por Bárbara Carine Pinheiro (2023), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2019) e Conceição Evaristo (2009), ao destacar a importância de narrativas diversificadas e representativas na formação de uma consciência crítica e inclusiva. Este artigo pretende contribuir para a compreensão das dinâmicas raciais e sociais, promovendo um diálogo inclusivo e transformador atendendo ao apelo para a construção de novos pactos civilizatórios, conforme proposto por Bento (2022).

Diabetes is a chronic health condition affecting millions globally, causing severe complications and burdening healthcare systems. Current machine learning methods for diabetes prediction face challenges such as data imbalance, limited generalizability, and computational inefficiency. This study proposes a novel method that combines K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), clustering techniques, Synthetic Minority Over- sampling Technique (SMOTE), and Random Forest for outcome classification to address these issues. The PIMA Indian Diabetes Dataset was used to evaluate the approach, achieving accuracy of 87.50%. However, the study has limitations, such as dependency on specific datasets and computational complexity. Future work will focus on validating the method across diverse datasets, optimizing computational efficiency, and developing real-time prediction capabilities.

Minister of Water and Sanitation v Msukaligwa Local Municipality: Is financial incapacity a valid excuse?
Authors: Wright Johandri
Published: December 2024

South African local government is failing to provide basic services. These services are important to realize many socio-economic rights. Municipalities often refer to their financial incapacity as an excuse for not delivering basic services. Minister of Water and Sanitation v Msukaligwa Local Municipality is an example of a judgment where the Municipality relied on its financial incapacity as a defence for not delivering water and sanitation services in accordance with national standards. The court rejected this defence. In terms of a structural interdict, the court ordered the Municipality to bring its service delivery in line with national standards under the relevant Minister’s supervision. This judgment is important for many reasons. This case note explores the contribution of this judgment to the law relating to financial incapacity as a justifiable defence for not delivering services where this impacts on the realization of socio-economic rights.
Seismic surveys in South Africa’s maritime domain: The Sustaining the Wild Coast cases
Authors: Surbun Vishal , Swanepoel Paul
Published: December 2024

The decision in Sustaining the Wild Coast & others v Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy & others represented a landmark victory for local communities in the Eastern Cape over prominent oil companies, notably Shell. The applicants sought an interim interdict in the High Court to prevent Shell from undertaking a seismic survey pursuant to an exploration right, pending the determination of an application for a final interdict. The High Court, in hearing the application for the final interdict, also considered various grounds of review under the Promotion of Access to Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000, including procedural fairness and a failure to take into account relevant considerations. The High Court set aside the granting of the exploration right and its renewals. The Supreme Court of Appeal, however, despite dismissing an appeal by Shell, decided to suspend the setting aside of the exploration right and its two renewals pending the determination of a third renewal application. The note considers the judgments of the High Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal with a focused analysis of maritime intangible cultural heritage, concluding that this legal framework should be better integrated into the authorisation process for an exploration right.

Authors:   Department of Chemical Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur, India, Singh Dev Mohan
Published: December 2024

Hydrogen, as a clean and efficient energy carrier, has garnered significant attention in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. This abstract explores the
promising avenue of hydrogen storage and generation through nanoparticlised metal hydrides, a cutting-edge approach aimed at addressing the limitations
of conventional storage methods. Basic well-known hydrogen storage methods, such as physisorption and liquid hydrogen storage, have proven inadequate
in terms of efficiency, safety, and practicality. Furthermore, the high-pressure hydrogen storage technique is often impractical due to safety concerns and
the energy-intensive compression requirements. In contrast, the utilization of nanoparticlised metal hydrides offers a unique opportunity for safe, compact,
and reversible hydrogen storage. In addition, this abstract delves into the novel concept of hydrogen generation from magnesium hydride through the use
of organic acids, a groundbreaking innovation that further enhances the practicality and sustainability of the metal hydride approach. Such advancements
hold great promise for unlocking the full potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source, facilitating its integration into diverse applications and contributing
to a greener, more sustainable future.

The research investigated how entrepreneurial skills influence the academic achievements of chemistry education students in the field of chemical production
at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study involved eighty (80) 300Level and 400Level Chemistry Education students, in which
thirty (30) were males and fifty (50) were females. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized for this investigation. Entrepreneurship Chemistry
Achievement Test (ECAT) was employed as the primary assessment tool. The examination items were formulated based on the concepts within chemical
production, a sub-topic under polymer chemistry. Data obtained were analyzed using measures of central tendency such as mean and standard deviation.
Hypotheses were tested through the application of t-test statistical analysis. Findings from the study revealed that students who participated in hands-on
exercises related to chemical production exhibited superior performance compared to those who did not engage in practical activities, based on this finding,
it was recommended that equipping chemistry education graduates with technical skills, wider and deeper knowledge of chemical analysis tools in addition
to professional skills should be an integral part of the school curriculum not just for improved academic performance but also wealth creation, poverty
reduction and youths’ self–employment.
