The potential risks to vessels and crew in merchant shipping stem from human error, vulnerability to environmental influences, failure of shipboard systems and equipment. In case of transportation of heavy and oversized cargo, the preceding list can be expanded to include potential hazards directly associated with the cargo. This study identified a system of potential negative events in the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo under the influence of multiple factors. Negative events are divided into two categories: those occurring during loading/unloading and those occurring during transportation. The consequences of these negative events for cargo and operational condition of the ship are also identified. Six basic options for the operational condition of the vessel in the transportation process of oversized and heavy cargo have been determined. The conceptual model of the combination of factors affecting the operational condition of the vessel during the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo is formulated, and the chain of formation of the probability of negative events during the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo is identified and mathematically described. A basic pattern of relationship between various negative events occurring during transportation of oversized and heavy cargoes and ship's operational conditions is established. The obtained results allow the probability of possible negative events and change of ship's condition due to such influences during the transportation of the cargo category concerned to be estimated in practice, taking into account the specifics of a particular port, vessel and shipping line.

The article outlines some human factors affecting the operation and safety of passenger air transport given the massive increase in the use of the VLA. Decrease of the impact of the CO2 world emissions is one of the key goals for the new aircraft design. The main wave is going to reduce the burned fuel. Therefore, the eco-efficiency engines combined with reasonable economic operation of the aircraft are very important from an aviation perspective. The prediction for the year 2030 says that about 90% of people, which will use long-haul flights to fly between big cities. So, the A380 was designed exactly for this time period, with a focus on the right capacity, right operating cost and right fuel burn per seat. There is no aircraft today with better fuel burn combined with eco-efficiency per seat, than the A380. The very large aircrafts (VLAs) are the future of the commercial passenger aviation. Operating cost versus safety or CO2 emissions versus increasing automation inside the new generation aircraft. Almost 80% of the world aircraft accidents are caused by human error based on wrong action, reaction or final decision of pilots, the catastrophic failures of aircraft systems, or air traffic control errors are not so frequent. So, we are at the beginning of a new age in passenger aviation and the role of the human factor is more important than ever.

Banking system plays a major role in development of economy. Due to the advent of digital technology, banking has undergone a massive shift in its mode of operations. Banks have been already offering a wide variety of products and services, integrated with technology and automation, the most familiar being ATM machines all around us. New trends articial intelligence in banking sectors are gaining momentum at a fast pace as it reduces the human error and increases the efciency of operations of the banks. At the same time, this digital technology has paved way for both positive and negative impact on operations of the banks. One such activity is money laundering. such phenomenon has occupied a signicant position in the global policy agenda, in addition to other issues such as international terrorism. It is worthwhile to be mentioned that money laundering operations form a heavy burden on different countries in the world, which in their turn are looking for the best means to ght and limit them. It is well known that banks are one of the most important pillars of money laundering and its ghting at the same time, since most of money laundering is made through banks, which makes them perfectly suitable means to do such operations. Articial intelligence has been deployed by banks to reduce such operations. This study emphasis on application of articial intelligence in money laundering in banks and its efciency in controlling the operations of Banks.

Abstract Background Unaddressed high distress leads to noncompliance with treatment, negatively affects quality of life, and may also have a negative impact on the prognosis of cancer patients. Patients with brain tumors have higher levels of distress than the general population and hence we hypothesize that even routine visits during adjuvant treatment or follow-up are likely to be stressful. This analysis was performed to identify the incidence of distress and factors affecting it. Methods This was an audit of 84 consecutive patients seen in an adult neuro-medical oncology outpatient department who were either receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or were on follow-up. Distress screening with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) distress thermometer was performed. Patients in whom distress was scored as 4 or above were considered as having high distress. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify factors affecting distress. Results The median age of the cohort was 40 years (interquartile range, 28.3 to 50 years). Actionable distress defined as a distress score of 4 or more was seen in 52 patients (61.9%, 95% CI 51.2% to 71.5%). Presence of physical deficit (odds ratio [OR] = 3.412, P = .020) and treatment under the private category (OR = 5.273, P = .003) had higher odds of having high distress. Conclusion A high proportion of brain tumor patients either on adjuvant chemotherapy or on follow-up have high distress levels that need to be addressed even during follow-up.

The article summarizes the materials on the set of limiting criteria and factors affecting the group of threatened species of diurnal Lepidoptera of Udmurtia. The group is formed by representatives belonging to the categories "Exposed to critical danger", "Endangered" and "Vulnerable", allocated by the regional co-Zoological analysis of the fauna of Rhopalocera. A set of criteria used to identify the threatened categories includes the following indicators of limitation: arealographic (total breadth of distribution of species in the region, the degree of fragmentation of regional habitat types, trends in regional species' chorology); biotopic (quantity and quality of key habitats in the region, as well as actual and potential risks and declining trends in their quantity and quality); population (the level of localization of population structures of species). The main factors of anthropogenic impact on the habitats of moths include the regional types of nature management with landscape-scale manifestations, such as agricultural and forestry activities.

Shipping Line

Keselamatan dan keamanan pelayaran merupakan suatu kajian yang harus mendapatkan perhatian yang lebih serius pada decade terakhir  ini, mengingat semakin banyaknya kasus kecelakaan kapal yang diakibatkan oleh adanya human-error. Perhitungan stabilitas kapal dengan basic jumlah dan berat dari tiap party barang yang dimuat diatas kapal adalah salahsatu factor penentu dalam menyusun stowage barang diatas kapal terutama untuk kapal-kapal cellular yang memuat barang dalam kemasan container. Karena sebagaimana diketahui bersama bahwa pada lazimnya shipper hanya memberitahukan perkiraan berat barangnya saja tanpa mencantumkan berat containernya, sedangkan dalam kenyataannya barang tersebut dimuat diatas kapal bersamaan dengan containernya, sehingga bagi shipping line data berat barang yang disampaikan oleh shipper tersebut belum akurat. Olehkarena itu melalui organisasi maritime dunia (IMO) diterbitkanlah suatu amandemen yang bersifat mandatory kepada semua shipper diwajibkan untuk menyampaikan verifikasi hasil timbang barang dengan benar termasuk berat containernya secara tertulis kepada shipping-line sebelum container tersebut dikapalkan. Bila tidak ada surat pernyataan (verifikasi) tentang berat barang dan containernya, maka shipping line dilarang untuk memuat container tersebut. Pernyataan atau verifikasi ini dikenal dengan istilah VGM (verified Gross Mass)

This study analyzes the factors influencing gambier productivity, analyzes the technical efficiency of gambier farming, and analyzes the factors affecting gambier farming's technical efficiency. This research was conducted in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, a gambier production center in West Sumatra. Data were analyzed using the Cobb Douglas stochastic frontier production function. The results showed that the factors that significantly influenced gambier's productivity were labor, NPK fertilizer, plant age, number of trees, varieties, and technology. The number of labor, fertilizer factor, plant age, number of trees, and seedling varieties had a positive effect on gambier productivity. In contrast, NPK fertilizer and technology had a negative impact on gambier productivity. The technical efficiency level of gambier farming started from 0.25 to 0.99 with an average level of 0.76. It means that farmers are technically efficient but can still increase gambier productivity if they use production inputs appropriately and adequately. Factors that significantly influence technical efficiency are age, farming experience, and technology. Older farmers will have a higher level of technical efficiency compared to young age. The lower the farming experience, the more technically efficient the farmer is. Farmers who use the hydraulic jack system technology are more efficient than farmers who use the jack system technology

Speed Up

One way that can be done to speed up the duration of the project is to use precast concrete slabs. However, the use of precast concrete slab elements in the project can be ineffective if in the order stage, production stage, until the delivery stage of precast concrete elements to the project site is not managed properly, which can cause delays in project duration. Therefore, the use of precast concrete slabs is very dependent on the supply chain management. To anticipate this risk, it is necessary to identify what are the dominant factors in the supply chain that affect the procurement of precast concrete slabs which can cause delays in project duration. The initial influence factors were collected through a literature study and interviews with a number of practitioners, followed by a survey using a questionnaire to a number of project actors in projects using precast concrete slabs. The Likert scale 1-5 is used to measure the level of influence of a factor identified on project delays. By using factor analysis techniques, as many as three groups of dominant supply chain factors affecting the procurement of precast concrete slabs were found, namely special factors, technical factors, and human error factors.ABSTRAKSalah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan demi mempercepat durasi proyek adalah menggunakan pelat beton pracetak. Namun, penggunaan elemen pelat beton pracetak di proyek bisa tidak efektif apabila dalam tahap pemesanan, tahap produksi, hingga tahap pengiriman elemen beton pracetak ke lokasi proyek tidak dikelola dengan baik, sehingga dapat menyebabkan keterlambatan durasi proyek. Oleh sebab itu, penggunaan pelat beton pracetak sangat bergantung pada manajemen rantai pasokannya. Untuk mengantisipasi risiko tersebut, perlu adanya identifikasi mengenai faktor dominan apa saja pada rantai pasok yang mempengaruhi pengadaan pelat beton pracetak yang dapat menyebabkan keterlambatan durasi proyek. Faktor pengaruh awal dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur dan wawancara kepada sejumlah praktisi, dilanjutkan dengan survei menggunakan kuesioner kepada sejumlah pelaku proyek di proyek yang menggunakan pelat beton pracetak. Skala Likert 1-5 digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat pengaruh suatu faktor yang diidentifikasi terhadap keterlambatan proyek. Dengan menggunakan teknik analisis faktor, sebanyak tiga kelompok faktor dominan rantai pasok yang berpengaruh pada proses pengadaan pelat beton pracetak ditemukan, yaitu faktor khusus, faktor teknis, dan faktor human error.
