Published: March 2024

В работе проведен обзор наиболее популярных гидроакустических модемов, использующихся робототехническими комплексами для передачи полезной информации под водой. Рассмотрены модемы зарубежных производителей (EvoLogics, DSPComm, Teledyne Benthos, Water Linked и др.) и российских производителей (AQUATELE.COM, UC&NL, СПбГМТУ). К каждому представленному в работе модему приведены его основные характеристики: рабочая дальность, полоса используемых частот, скорость передачи данных, потребляемая мощность в режимах приема и излучения и габаритные размеры устройства. На основе одной из важнейших характеристик модемов – рабочей дальности – проведено условное разделение всех рассмотренных устройств на три группы: модемы ближнего радиуса действия (до 1000 м), среднего радиуса действия (от 1000 до 3500 м) и дальнего радиуса действия (от 3500 м). В каждой их трех групп проведен сравнительных анализ модемов по трем характеристикам: скорости передачи данных, потребляемой мощности при излучении и массе устройства. По результатам сравнительного анализа был сделан вывод, что устройства, производимые в СПбГМТУ, сопоставимы по характеристикам с другими популярными моделями различных производителей, охватывают большой диапазон рабочих дальностей и могут составить конкуренцию модемам уже устоявшихся производителей.

This work includes systematization and comparative analysis of the most popular hydroacoustic modems. Hydroacoustic modems are used in robotic complexes to transmit useful information underwater. Modems from foreign manufacturers (EvoLogics, DSPComm, Teledyne Benthos, Water Linked, etc.) and Russian manufacturers (AQUATELE.COM, UC&NL, SMTU) are considered. The main characteristics of each modem are presented: range, frequency band, data transfer rate, power consumption in reception and transmission modes, and weight of the device. A conditional division of all devices into three groups according to operating range was carried out: short-range modems (up to 1000 m), medium-range modems (from 1000 to 3500 m) and long-range modems (from 3500 m). In each of the three groups, a comparative analysis of modems was carried out according to three characteristics: data transfer rate, power consumption in transmission mode weight of the device. Based on the results of a comparative analysis, it was concluded that SMTU devices are comparable to other popular models, can operate over a long distance and can compete with devices from other manufacturers.

В статье рассмотрена проблема моделирования пожаровзрывобезопасности многопалубных паромов и паромов с открытыми палубами, перевозящих автомобили на жидком топливе и газобаллонные автомобили при наличии пассажиров и без них, а также плавучих автостоянок с такими автомобилями. Показано, что пожары и взрывы автомобилей на паромах в плавании могут привести к трагическим последствиям ввиду низкой огнестойкости корпуса судна и невозможности оказания оперативной помощи. Подобные ситуации на плавучих автостоянках также опасны ввиду риска и для объектов на берегу. В этой связи рассмотрена возможность моделирования пожаровзрывоопасных ситуаций с использованием цепей Маркова как с дискретным, так и с непрерывным временем. Получены количественные оценки вероятностей состояний парома (плавучей автостоянки) и сделаны выводы о целесообразности дальнейших исследований в части моделирования пожаровзрывобезопасных ситуаций и совершенствования соответствующих нормативных документов.

The article considers the problem of modeling fire and explosion safety of multi-deck ferries and open-deck ferries carrying liquid fuel cars and gas-cylinder cars with and without passengers, as well as floating parking lots with such cars. It is shown that fires and explosions of cars on ferries during navigation can lead to tragic consequences due to the low fire resistance of the vessel's hull and the inability to provide operational assistance. Similar situations in floating parking lots are also dangerous due to the risk to facilities on shore. In this regard, the possibility of modeling fire and explosive situations using Markov chains with both discrete and continuous time is considered. Quantitative estimates of the probabilities of the ferry (floating parking lot) conditions have been obtained and conclusions have been drawn about the expediency of further research in terms of modeling fire and explosion-proof situations and improving relevant regulatory documents.

This research is motivated by the presence of Tanjidor music art, which always exists in Pendawan Village. However, there is a lack of data regarding the history of Tanjidor music, especially Tanjidor music in Sambas in general and in Pendawan Village in particular, and there is no information available about the development of Tanjidor music in the village. Some of these points are very interesting to study. This research is descriptive-qualitative with the type of field research (field research). The data collection method is through historical methods, namely heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this research show that the history of the arrival of Tanjidor music in Sambas, including in Pendawan Village, can be linked to the arrival of foreign nations (Protugis, British, VOC, and Islamic traders) in Sambas. In its development, this music has become a favorite in Sambas in general since the 1970s and 1980s. Then, in 1998, there was conflict within the Pendawan Village music group, and in 1999, the group was disbanded. However, Tanjidor music is still used at weddings in Pendawan Village. In 2004, the use of Tanjodor music in Sambas became increasingly lively to enliven the Sambas Malay wedding celebrations. 2015 was a phase of the restoration of arts and culture in Sambas Regency. Several factors driving the existence of Tanjidor music in Pendawan Village in particular and in Sambas in general are the open attitude of the Sambas community, the development of science and technology, the support of the community and arts and culture figures, as well as the Sambas Regency Regional Government.

A total of 10 samples were collected from the study location. Standard methods for determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations in the water samples were deployed. The measured gross alpha activity concentrations for all water samples are below 0.1 Bq/L while the measured gross beta activity concentrations in all water samples collected are lower than 1.0 Bq/L permissible limit. The mean annual dose equivalent in all the water samples for gross alpha and gross beta activity is lower than 0.1 mSv recommended dose for radionuclides in water, hence the life cancer risk assessment showed lower values, indicating the water is safe for drinking. The purpose of this study is to assess the concentration of gross alpha and beta activity levels of drinking water from hand-dug reservoirs in Ogwashi-Uku, Delta State in order to offer a scientific basis for making decisions regarding mitigating radioactive pollution and also to ensure the safety of drinking water and public health.
The Nexus between Land registration and Environmental Hazards in some Urban Centers in Cameroon
Authors: Akoh Ndi Roland
Published: March 2024

The issue of land administration was and is still gaining a lot of traction in contemporary research as scholarly agendas attuned to this issue continue to proliferate because peoples’ attachment to land predates recorded history. That is why development agencies, urban development professionals and academicians in urban management issues now concur that the urban development process in less developed countries is most often than not unsustainable as the polemics in land registration is not responsive for environmental sanity given the fact that environmental hazards are the role rather than the exception. Such a trend is frightening that a pragmatic and timely research is indispensable to diagnose the intriguing situation. This paper unravels and disentangles the polemics in the land registration process in some Cameroons’ urban centers (Bamenda, Yaounde, Douala and Bafoussam) in a bid to establish the nexus between land registration and environmental hazards so as to enshrine sustainable solutions into concrete policy options. Using primary and secondary data sources, the findings aver that the land registration in Cameroons is not responsive for environmental vibrancy due to some inherent stalemates which have obfuscated the procurement process. These stalemates inter-a-lea include; inappropriate regulatory frameworks through procedural difficulties, institutional weaknesses, political exploitation and fraudulent practices. These impasses invariably breed frustration and friction to would be land/home owners who are obliged to bypass such cumbersome processes and construct in off limit terrains which are vulnerable to the caprices of environmental hazards like floods and landslides, casting doubt on government's ability to instill a more sustainable land registration system for enhanced environmental productivity. If the land administration process is well-structured and revolutionized via good governance, this might reconfigure uncontrolled urban development to curtail such vulnerabilities to environmental hazards.

This study examined the symbols present on canoe paintings in the Axim and Winneba fishing communities located in the Western and Central Region of Ghana. The research approach employed was qualitative, using a descriptive research design. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and document reviews, with 25 participants providing insights into the phenomenon. The study found that the symbols on the canoes represented the owners' personal relationships and incorporated various art forms such as animals, human figures, multinational telecommunication networks, and football clubs. These images served multiple purposes, including physical protection, decoration, identification, sanitation, and conceptual representation. The researchers recommend that the Ghana Museums and Monument Board (GMMB), the Centre for National Culture, the Ministry of Tourism, as well as individuals and businesses in the tourism industry, should focus on the coastal areas and recognize the cultural significance of the canoe symbols present in the fishing communities of Ghana. By doing so, they can tap into the tourism potential of these areas and use them to attract visitors
Neural network forecasting of defects in the production of metallurgical products
Authors:   Perm State National Research University, Yasnitsky Leonid N. ,   National Research University Higher School of Economics in Perm, Goldobin Maxim A. ,   JSC “ODK-Perm Motors”
Published: March 2024

The paper is devoted to the current problem of reducing the percentage of defective products produced at serial steelmaking plants. To study the patterns of defect formation, a neural network was created that predicts the formation of defects such as “crack” in castings produced by the open-hearth method. To train the neural network, statistical data on the chemical composition of ore raw materials and the corresponding values of the percentage of defects were used. The data was taken under the conditions of an ongoing serial production process, which led to a high degree of noise in the information both on the chemical composition of the ore raw material and on the mechanical properties based on the results of its heat treatment. Outliers of statistical information were detected and removed using the original author’s neural network technique. A neural network model for controlling thermophysical and chemical-energy-technological processes of thermal processing of ore raw materials was created on the basis of a perceptron-type neural network with sigmoid activation functions. By conducting virtual computer experiments on a neural network model, some important dependences of the probability of formation of the defects under study on the content of manganese, phosphorus, silicon, chromium and sulfur were identified. Based on the identified dependencies, practical recommendations have been developed to reduce the percentage of defects by adjusting the chemical composition of ore raw materials. Despite the relatively low accuracy of the developed neural network model, the application of the practical recommendations obtained made it possible to reduce the percentage of defective products manufactured in a large-scale production process by 2.51 times.

Authors:   Synergy University, Sozaeva Dzhamiliya A. ,   JSC “Unified Electronic Trading Platform”
Published: March 2024

The relevance of the study is due to the high share of expenditures on state and municipal procurement in the structure of Russia’s GDP, on the one hand, and the need to improve the quality of monitoring of competition parameters in the public procurement market, on the other hand. The information systems and service solutions currently available on the IT market provide such an opportunity, which, according to the author, is not sufficiently used in the public sector at present. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the modern methodology for monitoring competition in the public procurement market, relevant to the level of scientific and technological development of computing power and infrastructure. The scientific novelty lies in the formation of a system for qualitative assessment of competition in the procurement market, based on the analysis of previously unused sections of information, allowing industry regulators to quickly receive signals about the presence of cartels and other forms of violation of competition. The problem solved in the article is aimed at improving support for procurement regulatory bodies to make management decisions regarding the ongoing territorial and sectoral policies, taking into account their material, technical and personnel support. To achieve this task, the results of previous studies of teams with the participation of the author are generalized and aggregated into a single two-level methodology, presented in the form of scientific and methodological recommendations for implementation by authorities. At the first level, the methodology can be applied by regional authorized bodies in the field of procurement and does not require special software; it is based on the use of a competition map implemented in Excel (any tabular database can be used). Second-level methods are focused on use by large analytical centers and divisions, are based on high-level visualization, and clearly “highlight” market anomalies. The introduction of such a methodology will increase the awareness of authorities about the situation in the context of regions and industries, identify or predict the occurrence of various anomalies, and improve the quality of work in countering cartel agreements.

Authors: Taiwo Oluwasola
Published: March 2024

Ideal areas for housing developments that are, for the most part, sustainable present critical issues in the planning and development of eco-friendly urban settlements. With this in mind and explicitly, Ede North LGA of Osun State was chosen as the case study, where a methodological framework for a land suitability analysis was adopted to identify suitable lands for real estate development with sustainability as a focus in the realization of global UN goals. This present study falls within the framework of the Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) analysis, which can be integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) together with the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP), useful for decision-making in site selection studies. For this purpose, computed relative weights from the pairwise comparisons (AHP) of 5 sub-models, i.e., terrain, environmental, socio-economic, available land, and soil factors, were inserted into the suitability analysis function of GIS and combined in a ‘Weighted Sum’ overlay operation to produce a final suitability map on a scale of 1–5, with 5 being the highest preference. Lastly, the ‘Locate Region’ Spatial Analyst tool was applied to the final suitability map to locate three (3) optimum locations to site the estate developments. Conclusively, in view of the analysis and discoveries made in this research, finding optimum locations via the GIS-MCE-based land suitability model for future housing development needs may prove highly resourceful. Hence, this study can likewise give a significant direction to future land use changes and practical and cost-effective arrangements in urban areas where conditions are similar to those in Ede North LGA.

TÓM TẮT

Đặt vấn đề: Nhiễm khuẩn sơ sinh sớm là bệnh lý còn gặp rất nhiều khó khăn trong chẩn đoán, vì các triệu chứng của bệnh đa dạng, ít đặc hiệu, có thể gặp trong các tình huống không nhiễm khuẩn dẫn đến điều trị kháng sinh không cần thiết. CRP và albumin huyết thanh là các chỉ điểm cho thấy sự hiện diện và mức độ nghiêm trọng của nhiễm khuẩn huyết ở trẻ sơ sinh. Đề tài này nhằm tìm hiểu mối liên quan của CRP và albumin huyết thanh với mức độ nhiễm khuẩn sơ sinh sớm.

Đối tượng, phương pháp: Trẻ sơ sinh < 72 giờ tuổi nghi ngờ NKSSS có ít nhất 1 triệu chứng lâm sàng theo tiêu chuẩn chẩn đoán NKSS của Bộ Y Tế năm 2015. Xác định mức độ NKSS và thực hiện xét nghiệm CRP và albumin huyết thanh tại thời điểm chẩn đoán.

Kết quả: 90 bệnh nhân nhiễm khuẩn sơ sinh sớm, trong đó 18 trường hợp NKH SS. Biến đổi nồng độ albumin huyết thanh chiếm tỷ lệ cao nhất với 53,3 %, tiếp theo là CRP với tỷ lệ 37,8%. Tỷ lệ trẻ tăng CRP ở nhóm NKH SS (100%) cao hơn nhóm NKSS (22,2%) (p < 0,05). Tỷ lệ trẻ giảm albumin huyết thanh ở nhóm NKH SS (77,8%) cao hơn nhóm NKSS (47,2%) (p < 0,05). Trung vị CAR ở nhóm NKH SS (0,62 ) cao hơn nhóm NKSS (0,11) (p < 0,05).

Kết luận: Sự kết hợp giữa CRP và albumin huyết thanh là một yếu tố dự báo độc lập cho sự hiện diện và mức độ nghiêm trọng của nhiễm khuẩn huyết ở trẻ sơ sinh. x

ABSTRACT

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM CRP, ALBUMIN LEVELS AND EARLY-ONSET INFECTION IN NEONATES

Background: Early - Onset Infection in Neonates (EOIN) is a disease with many difficulties in diagnosis, because symptoms of aforementioned disease are diverse, less specific, and can be encountered in non-infectious situations, leading to unnecessary antibiotic treatments. CRP and serum albumin are indicators of the presence and severity of neonatal sepsis. This study aims to understand the between CRP and serum albumin and the level of EOIN.

Methods: Newborns < 72 hours of age with suspected EOIN have at least 1 clinical symptom according to diagnostic criteria for EOIN of the Ministry of Health 2015. Evaluation of the EOIN level and taking CRP and serum albumin testing at the time of diagnosis.

Results: 90 patients with EOIN, including 18 cases of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). Changes in serum albumin concentration accounted for the highest rate at 53.3%, followed by CRP at 37.8%. The rate of children with increased CRP in the EONS group (100%) was higher than the EOIN group (22.2%) (p < 0.05). The proportion of children with decreased serum albumin in the EONS group (77.8%) was higher than the EOIN group (47.2%) (p < 0.05). The median CAR in the EONS group (0.62) was higher than the EOIN group (0.11) (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The combination between CRP and serum albumin is an independent predictor of the presence and severity of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS).

O objetivo deste artigo é estimar a economia de dispêndios que o Poder Executivo obteve no custeio –contribuição patronal – dos regimes de aposentadoria dos servidores públicos civis federais após a introdução do Regime de Previdência Complementar (RPC) pela União em 2013. Para tanto, foi realizada uma análise documental sobre os dados abertos de despesas com pessoal e número de servidores, constantes no painel estatístico de pessoal, mantido pelo website do Ministério do Planejamento, Desenvolvimento e Gestão, durante o período disponível para consulta, que vai de 2008 a 2019. A economia encontrada para o Poder Executivo federal foi de R$ 2.542.407.158,60, no período entre 2013 e 2019, observando-se ainda um quadro de crescente economia de recursos orçamentários com a manutenção dos regimes previdenciários públicos da União, proporcionada pelo sistema duplo. Ficou indicado, portanto, o potencial de redução que poderá ser alcançado em função do crescimento da taxa de adesão à Fundação de Previdência Complementar do Servidor Público da União (Funpresp) ao longo dos anos subsequentes.

Published: March 2024

O estudo analisou os efeitos da violência escolar e urbana sobre a nota Saeb4 em matemática dos alunos das escolas públicas do Rio Grande do Sul em 2017. Para isso, foram construídos índices de violência das escolas (IV) e de criminalidade das cidades gaúchas (IC), por meio de análise fatorial. Os resultados desses índices foram, então, introduzidos como regressores em uma equação de proficiência escolar, estimada por meio de um modelo hierárquico de quatro níveis, alunos, turmas, escolas e municípios. Os resultados indicaram que o aumento de 1 ponto percentual (p.p.) no IV reduz em 11 pontos a nota Saeb em matemática do aluno e o aumento de 1 p.p. no IC reduz essa nota em 8 pontos, evidenciando a necessidade de ações públicas no sentido de reduzir a violência urbana e nas escolas, uma vez que essas afetam o processo de formação do capital humano.
