Relevance of Vocational High Schools with Regional Superior Potential and Manpower Needs in West Sulawesi Province

The aims of this study were: (i) to find out the suitability of vocational competency skills with the existence of regional superior potential in West Sulawesi, (ii) to find out the suitability between vocational competency skills and the need for manpower in West Sulawesi. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach using survey methods to collect data to uncover phenomena about the suitability of the expertise competencies possessed by SMKs representing the potential of the West Sulawesi region, the suitability of SMK expertise competencies with work needs in West Sulawesi and the fulfillment of SMK human resources against the needs labor. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and required documentation. The results of this study indicate that the development of SMKs is not following the regional potential and workforce needs due to the lack of commitment to developing SMKs by the West Sulawesi Provincial Government, the tendency of students to prefer SMAs over SMKs, lack of availability of land to build SMKs, the tendency of students to major in SMKs In particular, the commitment of the West Sulawesi Provincial Government is lacking in the development of SMKs rather than SMAs, and the output of SMKs is that they continue their studies rather than go straight to work.

Identification of mental disorders in South Africa using complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy N-soft aggregation information

This paper aims to address the challenges faced by medical professionals in identifying mental disorders. These mental health issues are an increasing public health concern, and middle-income nations like South Africa are negatively impacted. Mental health issues pose a substantial public health concern in South Africa, putting forth extensive impacts on both individuals and society broadly. Insufficient funding for mental health remains the greatest barrier in this country. In order to meet the diverse and complex requirements of patients effective decision making in the treatment of mental disorders is crucial. For this purpose, we introduced the novel concept of the complex probabilistic hesitant fuzzy N-soft set (CPHFNSS) for modeling the unpredictability and uncertainty effectively. Our approach improves the precision with which certain traits connected to different types of mental conditions are recognized by using the competence of experts. We developed the fundamental operations (like extended and restricted intersection, extended and restricted union, weak, top, and bottom weak complements) with examples. We also developed the aggregation operators and their many features, along with their proofs and theorems, for CPHFNSS. By implementing these operators in the aggregation process, one could choose a combination of characteristics. Further, we introduced the novel score function, which is used to determine the optimal choice among them. In addition, we created an algorithm with numerical illustrations for decision making in which physicians employ CPHFNS data to diagnose a specific condition. Finally, comparative analyses confirm the practicability and efficacy of the technique that arises from the model developed in this paper.

Computational framework for the evaluation of the composition and degradation state of metal heritage assets by deep learning

The accurate assessment of the material constitution and degradation in newly discovered archaeological artefacts is paramount for the decisions surrounding a thorough treatment of the object during the restoration and conservation stages. The laboratories possess competent experts and complex devices to perform this analysis properly. Nevertheless, a timely hint of an artificial intelligence assistant regarding the chemical composition and corrosion compound localization of a metal asset could save additional time and resources. The present paper proposes such a computational framework based on deep learning techniques that, on the base of its automatic determination of the chemical concentration of the predominant metal from a microscope image, can subsequently independently also recognize and delineate the corrosion spots of the products specific to that metal. The experiments have been performed on iron and copper heritage items from the Oltenia Museum, Romania. The results suggest that, even with an economic training information in terms of microscope images and annotations, the artificial intelligence framework can provide on-site support for an early examination of metal heritage assets.

Study on the Usefulness of Lean Management Tools and Techniques in Coal Mines in Poland

The article presents research on the possibilities of utilising the Lean Management method to increase the profitability of coal mining operations through cost rationalisation and production optimisation. The Lean Management method has its roots in the automotive industry, but its significant benefits can allow it to be transferred to other industries. Based on the analysis of global literature describing examples of its application in general mining, as well as the authors’ own observations related to Polish hard coal mining, it was determined that the Lean Management method is not being utilised in this field. This article outlines the course and results of an original expert-mathematical study to assess the usefulness of specific Lean Management tools and techniques in hard coal mining. The study drew on knowledge obtained from selected, competent experts who demonstrated high levels of agreement in their assessments. Five core production areas were identified, and twelve widely used Lean Management tools and techniques were selected. The obtained assessments of the usefulness of Lean tools could serve as valuable guidance for mining management in the selection of methods for improving mining production in coal mines.

Performing forensic expert activities in criminal proceedings: international experience

The article is devoted to the international experience of organizing the professional activity of a forensic expert in criminal proceedings. It is noted that in Germany, each administrative-territorial unit «land» (Hundesland) has its own independent forensic laboratory, and the federal formations of the Federal Department of Criminal Affairs have their own divisions for conducting special examinations and research, as well as their databases of forensically significant information.
 Attention is paid to the Institute of Forensic Research, which acts as a leading research institution in the structure of the German criminal police and provides services in: conducting forensic and criminological research; development of police methods; training and improving the qualifications of employees of the Federal Department of Criminal Affairs. The institute provides comprehensive scientific and practical research and implementation of modern technologies of police activity. Its functions include identifying the most vulnerable areas in the fight against crime and developing and implementing, together with experienced practitioners, measures and innovative programs aimed at improving the activities of law enforcement agencies.
 In addition, it was emphasized that the entire organization and activity of forensic expert institutions of France is built according to international standards, on the basis of which there is international expertise in the French forensic expert system.
 It was concluded that the Lithuanian model of the organization of the activities of judicial expert bodies is characterized by a high level of centralization, since its coordination is carried out by independent bodies common to all expert institutions. The specified format is characterized by a number of positive aspects, for example, the promotion of harmonization of forensic expertise, standardization of methods, accreditation and the emergence of minimum standards regarding the qualification and competence of a forensic expert; introduction of European Union standards into forensic expert practice, etc.
 It is noted that the implementation of international norms and standards for the organization and activity of forensic expert institutions brings expert institutions to a new level of functioning. This provides an opportunity to create an effective mechanism for the management and functioning of forensic expert institutions and experts, which will determine high requirements for conducting forensic examination, increase the professional level and effectiveness of employees of expert institutions, which will meet the needs of modern judiciary.

The most substantive weakness of this program is the lack of certainty of IDUKA internships and the fulfillment of the number of vocational hospitality specialization teachers who lack specialization teachers.

Limits of competence of a forensic commodity expert in determining the characteristics of goods in cases of customs rules violation

Today, all goods, regardless of the country of origin, are subject to classification, that is, codes are determined for goods in accordance with the classification groupings specified in the UCC of the Economic and Monetary Union. Expertise on determining the conformity of the characteristics of goods according to the UCC FEA, regardless of the purpose of establishing the code, is only a means of establishing the circumstances of implementation, that is, the characteristics on which the definition of the goods code is based, but by its task it cannot support the adoption of a decision on the determination interpretation of the product code according to the UCC FEA. Understanding the correctness of drawing up an expert's opinion allows to avoid difficulties when conducting a forensic commodity examination.
 The classification of goods is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the UCC FEA and is a technique that allows to present the classified goods in the form of a group of signs (product code) established by this classifier. When conducting a forensic commodity expert examination, a commodity expert may not exceed his or her powers and go beyond his or her competence when answering questions about determining the characteristics of the object of research according to the code of the UCC FEA. In the course of a commodity examination, a commodity expert determines only the characteristics of the goods, and the UCC FEA code is not determined.
 The article clarifies the peculiarities of determining the UCC FEA code, explains from a practical point of view what is the work of a forensic expert in conducting this type of forensic commodity examination. The article provides recommendations for forensic institutions on how to resolve the issues raised by forensic commodity expertise and the correctness of drawing up an expert's opinion, since this allows avoiding difficulties in conducting forensic commodity expertise.

PENGENALAN DAN PELATIHAN PENGAMBILAN SAMPEL TANAH DISTURBED DAN UNDISTURBED UNTUK SISWA SMK 7 BIDANG KEAHLIAN KONSTRUKSI JALAN, IRIGASI, DAN JEMBATAN

<p>One of the challenges faced by students from SMK is the learning atmosphere and learning system applied by PTV. This is due to the gap between the SMK curriculum and PTV. State Vocational High School (SMKN) 7 Semarang is one of the vocational schools located in the city of Semarang. SMKN 7 Semarang has 8 expertise competencies, one of which is competence in the field of civil engineering, namely Building Construction, Sanitation and Maintenance (KGSP) and Road, Irrigation, and Bridge Construction (KJIJ). Students of SMKN 7 Semarang already have a basic understanding of civil engineering, but when they enter the PTV world, they still experience difficulties in several fields. Therefore, to bridge and fill the gap from the SMK curriculum to PTV, it is necessary to introduce and train related fields of civil engineering, one of which is field testing. Semarang State Polytechnic as one of the universities has competent human resources to provide solutions to these problems. The PKM team provided introduction and training on the use of hand drill and vane shear tools used for soil testing. The hand drill is used to take disturbed and undisturbed soil samples, while the shear vane is used to determine the shear condition of the soil. After conducting the introduction and training activities, students can better understand how to use the test equipment. In addition, students also understand better in analyzing soil data obtained from testing.</p>

Artificial intelligence approach for linking competences in nuclear field

Bridging traditional experts’ disciplinary boundaries is important for nuclear knowledge management systems. However, expert competences are often described in unstructured texts and require substantial human effort to link related competences across disciplines. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a natural language processing approach, based on Latent Semantic Analysis, to enable the automatic linking of related competences across different disciplines and communities of practice. With datasets of unstructured texts as input training data, our results show that the algorithm can readily identify nuclear domain-specific semantic links between words and concepts. We discuss how our results can be utilized to generate a quantitative network of links between competences across disciplines, thus acting as an enabler for identifying and bridging communities of practice, in nuclear and beyond.

Экологический сетевой подход в приложении к биоэтическим организационным структурам

The term ‘bioethics’ (in the narrow sense) or ‘biomedical ethics’ denotes medical ethics at the modern stage of development. Bioethics is currently institutionalized and falls under the responsibility of specialized organizational structures (bioethics commissions, ‘divine committees’, etc.). The article expounds the prospects of applying network structures to institutions and organizations dealing with bioethical issues and tasks (ethical aspects of reproductive technologies, biomedical experiments, organ transplantation, and bioethical education). With the principles of decentralization (‘multiple authority’) and ecology (an integrative approach to issues under study and integrity of a bioethical expert team), network structures promote creative and effective functioning of bioethical organizations. Nonetheless, the centralized hierarchies of traditional educational and research institutions are also expected to perform essential functions. A reasonable combination of network structures and hierarchies provides the latter with a new role: the hierarchies assess the activity of emergent network structures using competent experts and provide selective support (including financing) to the most effective among them.

Classification of Typical Tasks of Forensic Linguistics

The main problem in forensic linguistic theory is the lack of an agreeable classification of expert tasks. Since the concept of expert task precedes concepts of method and methodology, it is clear that without regularizing tasks, further theoretical understanding of this subject area is impossible.
 The purpose of our article is a theoretical revision of this topic. Definitions of the term "expert task" are specified, and bases for classifying tasks common to all kinds and types of forensic examination are listed. We've checked classification options found in modern methodological and teaching publications on forensic linguistics in Russian ("Semantic Research in Forensic Linguistic Expertise" by RFCFS of the Russian Ministry of Justice, textbook by prof. Elena Galyashina, manual by ECC of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs). We've evaluated their logical correctness and compliance with the criminalistic and philological scientific basis. The conclusion is made about the suitability of some and unsuitability of other options: it is better to use the classification proposed by ECC of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (tasks on denotative, evaluative, illocutionary, and extralinguistic components of a speech object). We've also concluded that it is unproductive to classify forensic linguistic tasks on a substantive law basis (tasks in cases of extremism, cases of libel, cases of corruption crimes, etc.). Such an understanding of expert tasks leads to systematic work outside of expert competence, in the field of law: an expert linguist plays the role of a competent investigation officer.

Mój ból jest większy niż twój

MY PAIN IS GREATER THAN YOURS: THE PROCESS OF COMMEMORATING KL PLASZOW
 This article presents an accompanying description of the process involved in commemorating the former labor and concentration camp, Plaszow. The actors involved primarily differ in the function they desire to attribute to the memorial, while the strong emotions accompanying them are primarily a consequence of the process’s underlying cause – death ingrained in the post-camp landscape. Engagement in the process evokes suffering, which limits the possibilities for dialogue surrounding commemoration. Recently, the appointment of a caretaker for the site of memory, the KL Plaszow Museum, has proven to be the most influential factor in the dynamics of the process. Given that the museum is an enduring institution, there is now a strong need to explore new forms of mediation that facilitate understanding. In the author’s view, specialists in culture studies, with their expert competencies, can serve as neutral intermediaries bridging the diverse expectations of the actors.
