    This article has two outreach aims. It concisely summarizes the main research and technical efforts in the EC H2020 ARIES Integrating Activity – Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society [1] during the period 2017/2018. ARIES is a continuation of CARE, TIARA and EuCARD projects [2-3]. The article also tries to show these results as an encouragement for local physics and engineering, research and technical communities to participate actively in such important European projects. According to the author’s opinion this participation may be much bigger [4-27]. All the needed components to participate – human, material and infrastructural are there [4,7]. So why the results are not satisfying as they should be? The major research subjects of ARIES are: new methods of particles acceleration including laser, plasma and particle beam interactions, new materials and accelerator components, building new generations of accelerators, energy efficiency and management of large accelerator systems, innovative superconducting magnets, high field and ultra-high gradient magnets, cost lowering, system miniaturization, promotion of innovation originating from accelerator research, industrial applications, and societal implications. Two institutions from Poland participate in ARIES – these are Warsaw University of Technology and Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw. There are not present some of the key institutes active in accelerator technology in Poland. Let this article be a small contribution why Poland, a country of such big research potential, contributes so modestly to the European accelerator infrastructural projects? The article bases on public and internal documents of ARIES project, including the EU Grant Agreement and P1 report. The views presented in the paper are only by the author and not necessarily by the ARIES

    openIl presente documento descrive il lavoro svolto durante il periodo di stage, della durata di circa 276 ore, dal laureando Nicola Lazzarin presso l’azienda Athesys s.r.l, con periodo dal 06/07/2023 al 23/07/2023. Il paradigma delle identità digitali è fondamentale nell’era digitale, ma spesso sottolinea l’inefficienza dei tradizionali sistemi centralizzati. L’emergere delle Self-sovereign identity (SSI) offre un nuovo approccio promettente per migliorare la gestione delle identità digitali e delle Verifiable Credentials (VC). Tuttavia, l’attuazione pratica di soluzioni basate su SSI, in particolare utilizzando il framework Hyperledger Aries, rimane una sfida complessa e impegnativa. La presente tesi trae ispirazione dalla rilevanza delle identità digitali nella società odierna e dalla crescente necessità di soluzioni SSI. Tuttavia, essa si concentra su una prospettiva critica basata sull’esperienza personale dell’autore, che, nonostante gli sforzi, non è riuscito a pieno a completare l’implementazione di un sistema di scambio di VC utilizzando il framework Hyperledger Aries JavaScript. Il principale contributo di questa tesi è rappresentato dalla realizzazione parziale di un Proof of Concept (PoC) per un sistema di scambio di VC basato sul framework Hyperledger Aries JavaScript. Questo PoC offre una base incompleta per ulteriori sviluppi nel campo delle SSI. Inoltre, questa ricerca fornisce una documentazione dettagliata sul processo di implementazione, comprese le scelte di progettazione e le tecnologie utilizzate, per agevolare ulteriori studi e implementazioni nel settore delle identità digitali decentralizzate. In conclusione, questo tirocinio ha fornito un’opportunità di apprendimento e applicazione pratica di concetti avanzati nel campo delle identità digitali e delle credenziali verificabili.This paper describes the work done during the internship period, lasting about 276 hours, by graduate student Nicola Lazzarin at the company Athesys s.r.l, with a period from 06/07/2023 to 23/07/2023. The paradigm of digital identities is crucial in the digital age, but often underscores the inefficiency of traditional centralized systems. The emergence of Self-sovereign identities (SSI) offers a promising new approach to improve the management of digital identities and Verifiable Credentials (VC). However, the practical implementation of SSI-based solutions, particularly using the Hyperledger Aries framework, remains a complex and demanding challenge. This thesis draws inspiration from the relevance of digital identities in today's society and the growing need for SSI solutions. However, it focuses on a critical perspective based on the personal experience of the author, who, despite his efforts, was not fully successful in completing the implementation of a VC exchange system using the Hyperledger Aries JavaScript framework. The main contribution of this thesis is the partial implementation of a Proof of Concept (PoC) for a VC exchange system based on the Hyperledger Aries JavaScript framework. This PoC provides an incomplete basis for further development in the field of SSI. In addition, this research provides detailed documentation of the implementation process, including design choices and technologies used, to facilitate further studies and implementations in the area of decentralized digital identities. In conclusion, this internship provided an opportunity for learning and practical application of advanced concepts in the field of digital identities and verifiable credentials

    Oil & gas companies in Indonesia are facing a new challenge since the government changed the production sharing contract (PSC) from Cost Recovery scheme become Gross Split scheme through Ministerial Decree of ESDM No. 8/2017 and No. 52/2017, ‘Kontrak Bagi Hasil Gross Split'. The biggest challenge in new scheme is Company must bear all the capital cost and risk instead of Company and Government proportionally.In the way to get the research objectives in finding out key factors potential cause of failure the gross split implementation at PHE ONWJ and it's strategy to avoid the failure, author performed the research by qualitative method referred to Creswell research methodology through individual interview of 10 experts in oil & gas industry. The scope of the paper is study literature, observation, individual interview, data analysis, finding and discussion, recommendation, and implementation plan.The research found out that key factor of potential failures the gross split implementation is the cost efficiency, which is driven by inefficiency activities, unmanaged risks, and unmanaged cash flow. If Company could not reach a certain amount cost efficiency that equivalent to expenditure ≤ 48% of total gross revenue, then definitely it leads to potential failure of Company operations business. Research analysis said that cost efficiency could be achieve when company succeed reducing the operation expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) by performing innovation strategy such as changing the engineering design to fit-for-purpose, expanded procurement to new resources strategy, renegotiate existing contracts value, developing long term contracting strategies, improving contracts scope become very clear, generating work program prioritization, and improving the synergy of stakeholders.By doing the mentioned innovation strategies, company has obtained cost efficiency and generated positive cash flow for 1st year of gross split implementation. This is an early indication that the implementation of the gross split scheme could more likely be sustainable in PHE ONWJ

    CERN hosted on May 2-6, 2022, the first annual meeting of the H2020 I.FAST project to support innovation in the field of science and technology of particle accelerators. The project has a completely different character from its predecessors in this area of research. It was approved for implementation a year ago by the EC with the highest marks. It is worth looking at why projects such as ARIES, I.FAST and EURO-LABS are so easily accepted. This alleged ease of acceptance is an appearance. Behind the acceptance, in conditions of extremely tough competition, is the excellent organization of the submitting community that has been developed over the years, as well as the perfect, well-thought-out preparation of the material. The author, a participant in the ARIES and other EC projects in the field of particle accelerator science and technology, presents here, on specific examples, his subjective opinions on how to prepare materials for high-output projects for the EC FP. The author hopes that these remarks may be useful in the process of submitting research projects from Poland in international cooperation to the EC in the best possible way. The science and technology of particle accelerators is an excellent area of showing such examples because it is interdisciplinary and includes the following components: building of research infrastructure, applied physics, mechatronics, materials engineering, automation and robotics, electronics, ICT, innovation, cooperation with industry, and social

    SIMULATION-BASED LEARNING IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TO DEVELOP STUDENT EMPATHY ON PEACE EDUCATION Aries Musnandar Abstract This study proposes an effective learning model to increase the quality of students’ empathy through simulation-based learning. The student’s noble behaviour as the objective religious subject in schools can be reached by fostering empathy. But, conservative teaching techniques such as lecturing, presentation and one-way communication are used by most teachers. In contrast, the simulation based-learning model for religious education could involve the affective domain which is appropriate to be used for behaviour change. Peace education in religious education subjects can be elaborated proportionally using simulation based-learning for developing the empathy of student as an important factor to have better peace education results. By using qualitative method, author conducted interview, observation and literature review for further analysis of this study. Research results confirmed that teacher who apply simulation based learning as a suitable method to enhance empathy for elevated tolerant behavior of students which is in line with peace education view.

    Equality between project stakeholders: Reality or Myth?

    No full text
    Traditional project management principles strongly emphasize the triple constraints: time, cost and quality. The new paradigm, however, includes people, who remain the focus of all activities. The aim of this paper is to examine the result of a current research in Indonesia where a standard International Construction Contract is applied in the infrastructure sector because it was financed by multilateral agencies. Project people from those stakeholders groups were interviewed to collect their perceptions about the value of time, quality and cost aside from the issues of international contruction contract and project leadership. Initially, Owners, Designers, and Contractors were targeted. Use of the theoretical sampling process determined the need to target a second set of respondents. A construtivist ontology, interpretive epistemology and qualitative methodology were adopted. In-depth interviews were held with twenty-seven respondents from the stakeholder groups. Initial findings emerged concept that were then presented to expert from the Owner, Industry and University. Using constructivist paradigm, two major emerging constructs appeared from the respondents. The findings lead to the suggestion that modifications are needed to enhance the existing triple constraints in project management: time, quality and cost. The model of P & LESS was derived from the respondents. This embeds the elements of People, namely Leadership, Ethic, and Social Status with the time, quality and cost schema of project management. With this new concept, people and their elements would be more taken into consideration by the project stakeholders in securing the project success. Preliminary findings have shown that there are significant in the literature as opposed to practices in the real world of project implementation. This paper challenges the quantitative, technical, outcome based approach as unitary in nature. It presents a different view or paradigm that adds, as a central focus, the ‘people’ connection to time, quality and cost. It suggests that the importance of various aspects of people should also be taken into serious consideration in the evolution of project management, not only as a technical tool but more importantly as a field of knowledge required to solve organizational problems. When operating in another culture, relational aspects become a central focus. Keywords: people, equality, project stakeholder

    Study on Public Transport System in Jakarta And Public Preference Related to Operational Issues Case of Soekarno-Hatta Airport Train

    In 1985, the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) was commercially operated, replacing old Kemayoran Airport as the principal airport of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. The operation was marked by the opening of Terminal I of CGK with capacity of 9 (nine) millions passenger per year. The Airport is continuously developed during the time with the latest completion of Terminal 3 Ultimate in 2017 which made its capacity to become 43 (forty three) millions passenger per year. In the same year the total passenger traffic in CGK has reached more than 63 (sixty three) millions passengers. However, the development of the Airport is not supported with the sufficient development of infrastructure to access the airport. With the increasing total passengers and limited access, traffic conjunction has been part-of-the daily commuting to and from CGK. To support the development of CGK, the central government of Indonesia initiate a plan of CGK train as an alternative access to the airport. The project was commercially operated since 2018. However, after almost a year of its operation, it has not made a significant contribution to reduce the traffic conjunction. The train was initially designed with daily capacity of 33,728 passengers. However due to infrastructure limitation, currently the train operates with daily capacity of 19,040. Far from the expectation, the average occupancy of the train was in the verge of 30% from its current total capacity. As the CEO of PT Railink, the operator of CGK train, Heru Kuswanto is faced with a big challenge to analyse the situation and prepare the turnround
