Sanksi Prostitusi Online Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Zumaroh Ria
Published: March 2018

Abstract: This article discusses Islamic penal law perspective on the punishment of online prostitution through social media. In practice, the legal basis of punishing pimps is the Penal Code article 296 with the maximum of 1 year and 4 months of imprisonment or maximum fine of fifteen thousand rupiahs, article 506 with maximum one year of imprisonment. The Penal Code article 284 also punishes prostitutes who act in voluntary adultery. Likewise, the Law No. 11 2008 on electronic information and transaction article 27 (1) states that the felon of this crime is punished with maximum of six year of imprisonment or maximum fine of one billion rupiahs. This punishment is considered lenient and not making felon learning any lesson for his/her wrong doing. In Islamic penal law, online prostitution is considered jarîmah ta’zîr because there is no textual reference on this crime. Judges is authorized to decide punishment for the felon of this jarîmah ta’zîr.

Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas tentang sanksi prostitusi online melalui media sosial dilihat dari perspektif hukum Islam. Dasar hukum yang digunakan dalam menjerat mucikari adalah Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana Pasal 296 yaitu pidana penjara paling lama satu tahun empat bulan atau pidana denda paling banyak lima belas ribu rupiah; dan Pasal 506 yakni pidana kurungan paling lama satu tahun. Bagi seorang PSK, Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana menyebutkannya sebagai pesenggamaan atas dasar suka sama suka, yang dilakukan oleh seseorang dengan orang yang telah bersuami atau beristri (permukahan) sebagaimana yang terdapat dalam Pasal 284 KUHP. Adapun dalam Undang-Undang No.11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik Pasal 27 Ayat (1), dijerat dengan ancaman pidana penjara paling lama 6 tahun dan atau denda paling banyak Rp.1.000.000.000,00 (satu miliar rupiah). Sanksi ini dirasa kurang memberikan efek jera kepada pelaku. Dalam hukum pidana Islam, tindak pidana prostitusi online termasuk dalam kategori jarîmah ta’zîr, karena tidak ada ketentuan nash mengenai tindak pidana ini. Hakim diberi kewenangan untuk menjatuhkan hukuman bagi pelaku jarîmah ta’zîr.

Authors: OMOTOSO Ayodele Jacob , DADA Esther Omotola , OYEDEJI Olaoluwa
Published: March 2018

The present study investigated the physicochemical and microbiological assessment of selected hand-dug wells for water quality in Ilesa metropolis. The aim was to assess the groundwater quality. Twenty-five (25) hand-dug wells were randomly selected and water samples were collected four times spanning through the rainy and dry seasons. Physical parameters (ambient air temperature, water temperature, colour, turbidity and total dissolved solids), chemical (pH, conductivity, calcium, magnesium, total hardness, chlorides, sulphates, phosphates and nitrates) and microbiological parameters (total heterotrophic bacteria count, Escherichia coli and total heterotrophic fungi count) of the samples were examined. The data obtained were subjected to relevant statistical analysis. Results showed distinct seasonal variation in ambient air temperature, water temperature, pH and magnesium with highly significant different values at (p ˂ 0.01). Total hardness and sulphates concentrations had high significant different values in the dry season than in the rainy season (p ˂ 0.05) while the total heterotrophic bacteria count was significantly different at (p ˂ 0.001). The bacteria species isolated from well water samples were susceptible to pefloxacin and gentamicin. Comparing with international guide levels for drinking water, water samples were poor and unsuitable for drinking. The study concluded that the presence of multiple antibiotic resistant micro-organisms indicates a serious health hazard to the consumers of water obtained from these wells.

Authors: VARDAR Filiz , YAVUZ Ertuğrul Ali
Published: March 2018

The presented study elucidates developmental features of male and female gametophyte in Symphytum orientale L. (Boraginaceae). Flower buds were collected from natural habitats (İstanbul-Turkey) in March-April. The anthers of S. orientale were tetrasporangiate with a persistent epidermis and its wall development conformed to the Dicotyledonous type. The endothecium developed fibrous wall thickenings. The middle layer was short-lived and the cells of the glandular tapetum became double nucleated. In the microspore mother cells cytokinesis originated simultaneously after meiosis and the microspore tetrads were tetrahedral or isobilateral. The mature pollen grains were 3-celled when spread to environment. The ovule was hemianatropous, unitegmic and tenuinucellar. The megaspore mother cell functioned directly from the archesporial cell. Polygonum type embryo sac developed from the chalazal megaspore of a linear tetrad generated after meiosis. The synergids were pyriform and the polar nuclei fused shortly before fertilization. The antipodal cells were large and persistent at the stage of globular embryo. Embryogenesis followed the Chenopodiad type and the endosperm represented cellular type. The detailed embryological data of Symphytum orientale L. (Boraginaceae), which is a herbaceous and perennial flowering plant will improve our knowledge of its reproductive behaviour, and provide to comprehend taxonomic connection with related taxa within the Symphytum/Boraginaceae.

Published: March 2018

Insufficient genetic variability is one of the major problems of plant breeding programmes, especially in sesame. Gamma radiation has been reported to be very effective in creating genetic variability in plants. Three varieties of Nigerian sesame were assessed for spectrum and frequency of mutation induced by Gamma radiations in M1 and M2 generations. The varieties (NCRIBEN-04E, NCRIBEN-01M and NCRIBEN-03L) were treated with four different doses of gamma rays (250, 350, 450 and 550 Gy). The treated and untreated seeds (control) were sown in planting bags (under field condition) to raise M1 plants. Four treatments: V1D5, V2D3, V3D2 and V3D4 (from M1 plants) were selected and bulked to obtain M2 populations. The results of M1 revealed four mutant fruit traits: multicarpellate capsule, multiple capsule per leaf axil, indehiscent capsule and terminal capsules. The highest frequencies of the traits in M1 generation were 2.50×10-2, 9.17×10-2, 1.67×10-2and3.33×10-2 respectively. The highest branching (7) was from NCRIBEN-01M, while the least (2) was from NCRIBEN-04E. The M2 plants were grouped into eight M2 lines. The dose range (250-550 Gy) was proved to be effective in inducing viable mutations in sesame.

Published: March 2018

Two species of mint Mentha piperitha (peppermint) and M. arvensis (Japanese mint) are widely cultivated in Iran, but their response to fertilizer regime has not been evaluated so far. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizer treatments [Control, 100% urea (95 kg N ha−1), 75% urea (71.25 kg N ha-1) + 25% vermicompost (3.3 t ha-1), 50% urea (47.5 kg N ha-1) + 50% vermicompost (6.75 t ha-1), 25% urea (23.75 kg N ha-1) + 75% vermicompost (10.1 t ha-1) and 100% vermicompost (13.5 ton ha-1)] on essential oil contents, yield and yield components of the two species of mint. Peppermint provided grater plant height, number of internodes, number of leaf and oil percentage compared with the Japanese mint under study. The results indicated that, irrespective of the mint species, plants treated with combined chemical and organic fertilizer presented taller plants, higher oil contents and oil yield compared with solo chemical or organic fertilizers. Oil percentage and essential oil yield of mint increased significantly under the treatment with 25% urea (23.75 kg N ha−1) + 75% vermicompost (10.1 t ha-1). Plant height and number of leaf increased along the replacement of organic fertilizer with chemical fertilizers. The results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation with leaf number and essential oil yield. Application of vermicompost in combination with chemical fertilizer increased plant height, oil percentage and essential oil in both species, suggesting that organic and chemical fertilizer combination improves performance and environmental sustainability.

Published: March 2018

Rhizomania is one of the most devastating diseases of sugar beet worldwide. The disease poses a serious threat to Moroccan production and it is capable of significantly decreasing quality and yield of sugar beet plantations. The long-term survival of its fungal vector (Polymyxa betae) in soil makes it a very difficult disease to manage. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of a non-pathogenic fungal Fusarium oxysporum strain Fo47 to control Polymyxa betae. This biocontrol agent was applied as soil treatment, seed treatment, or a combination of the both treatments. A bio-test was performed on treated soil. After four weeks of culture, the roots of sugar beet seedlings were retrieved and analyzed by the DAS-ELISA test. Results indicated that F. oxysporium Fo47 reduced the activity and survival of P. betae when compared to a reference biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum, which only revealed significant in reducing the viral load of Beet Necrotic Yellow Vein Virus (BNYVV) as seed treatment. The non-pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 was more effective as soil treatment and allowed almost the same reduction of BNYVV virus concentration as T. harzianum 908. Therefore, our findings emphasizes that the performance of the biocontrol agent depends on the method of application.
Framing the Frame: Shakespeare and the Cadre
Authors: Sillars Stuart
Published: March 2018

This article provides a conceptual introduction to the notion of Framing and functions as an introduction. n Framing the Sign, Jonathan Culler privileges the term frame over context (ix). Culler states that framing a work of literature implies literary analysis whereby the agency of the critic determines the meaning of that work, whereas context is something that is already given. While frame invites the interpretations of complexities separate from the surrounding space in which the work of literature exists, context directs us “to slip back into the model it proposes’; it thus simplifies analysis because it presumes that some of the meaning in the work of art is already known.
A Master’s Monument Shakespeare’s Sonnets in the Poetry of W. B. Yeats
Authors: Armstrong Charles
Published: March 2018

This article explores the reception of Shakespeare’s Sonnets by W.B. Yeats. In her recent study Our Secret Discipline: Yeats and Lyric Form (2007), Helen Vendler has stressed the importance of taking the formal structures of W. B. Yeats’ poetry seriously. If her analyses occasionally seem overwrought in all their technical detail, she nevertheless forcefully argues that “technique was never, for Yeats, without conceptual meaning” (153). But the actual conceptual meanings she brings forth are often less than convincing – particularly so in the case of Yeats’ appropriation of the Shakespearean sonnet.

Municipal bonds as a means of accelerating local infrastructure investment
Authors: Medda Francesca Romana , Cocconcelli Luca
Published: March 2018

Even today, the 2007 financial crisis imposes negative impacts on the ability of local authorities to raise funds for capital investment, particularly for infrastructure. A fundamental need thus exists for municipalities and regional authorities worldwide to broaden their financial channels and explore flexible financial options. In the USA, municipal bonds represent the backbone of local public finance. Nearly three-quarters of core infrastructures in the USA are financed by municipal bonds, with about $400 billion in issuances every year. However, the municipal bond market is not a rose without thorns. This paper examines different successful and unsuccessful experiences of local authority bond implementations for infrastructure investment. The limitations and advantages of more widespread use of bond issuance as a financial tool for infrastructure investments in the USA are examined. Next, the paper discusses how the problem of risk hinders investment, particularly in infrastructure. Thereafter, the paper enquires whether the example of collective solutions can become the financial cornerstone for infrastructure investment in a discussion of other European approaches, in particular the Swedish case under the mantle of the Nordic Local Government Funding Agencies. After describing effective strategies for local authorities to apply bond tools for infrastructure investments, policy recommendations are discussed.

Data Analytics of Mobile Serious Games: Applying Bayesian Data Analysis Methods
Authors: Lukosch Heide , Cunningham Scott
Published: March 2018

Traditional teaching methods in the field of resuscitation training show some limitations, while teaching the right actions in critical situations could increase the number of people saved after a cardiac arrest. For our study, we developed a mobile game to support the transfer of theoretical knowledge on resuscitation.  The game has been tested at three schools of further education. A number of data has been collected from 171 players. To analyze this large data set from different sources and quality, different types of data modeling and analyses had to be applied. This approach showed its usefulness in analyzing the large set of data from different sources. It revealed some interesting findings, such as that female players outperformed the male ones, and that the game fostering informal, self-directed is equally efficient as the traditional formal learning method.
Gamified In-Home Rehabilitation for Stroke Survivors: Analytical Review
Authors: Tamayo-Serrano Paul , Garbaya Samir , Blazevic Pierre
Published: March 2018

A stroke is a life-changing event that may end up as a disability, with repercussions on the patient’s quality of life. Stroke rehabilitation therapies are helpful to regain some of the patient’s lost functionality. However, in practice stroke patients may suffer from a gradual loss of motivation. Gamified systems are used to increase user motivation, hence, gamified elements have been implemented into stroke rehabilitation therapies in order to improve patients’ engagement and adherence. This review work focuses on selecting and analyzing developed and validated gamified stroke rehabilitation systems published between 2009 and 2017 to identify the most important features of these systems. After extensive research, 32 articles have met the selection criteria, resulting in a total of 28 unique works. The works were analyzed and a total of 20 features were identified. The features are explained, making emphasis on the works that implement them extensively. Finally, a classification of features based on objectives is proposed, which was used to identify the relationships between features and implementation gaps. It was found that there is a tendency to develop low-cost solutions as in-home therapy systems and provide a variety of games. This review allowed the definition of the opportunities for future research direction such as systems addressing the three rehabilitation areas; data analytics to make decisions; motivational content identification based on automatic engagement detection and emotion recognition; and alert systems for patient´s safety.

Aim: The aim of this cohort study was to evaluate the perceptions of adolescents regarding pain levels and chewing impairment throughout the first 12 months of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Methods: A total of 120 adolescents aged 11 and 12 years undergoing orthodontic treatment at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Federal University of Minas Gerais participated in this study. Malocclusion was evaluated by means of the Dental Aesthetic Index. Pain level and degree of chewing impairment were evaluated by means of two questions selected from the short form of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14). Each question had five response options with the following scoring system: never (0), once or twice (1), sometimes (2), often (3) and every day/almost every day (4). Both questions were answered by the adolescents at four different times: before fixed appliances’ placement (T1), one month after banding and fixed appliances’ bonding (T2), four months after banding and fixed appliances’ bonding (T3), and 12 months after banding and fixed appliances’ bonding (T4). Results: The mean age of adolescents was 11.39 (±0.68). Significant differences were observed for pain levels (p=0.038) and chewing impairment (p=0.020) over the study period. Pain levels at T1 were significantly lower than at T2 (p=0.038) and T4 (p=0.020). Chewing impairment at T1 was significant lower than at T2 (p<0.001), T3 (p=0.014) and T4 (p=0.005). Conclusion: Adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances present an increase in pain levels and in chewing impairment.

The use of genetically encoded ‘self-labeling tags’ with chemical fluorophore ligands enables rapid labeling of specific cells in neural tissue. To improve the chemical tagging of neurons, we synthesized and evaluated new fluorophore ligands based on Cy, Janelia Fluor, Alexa Fluor, and ATTO dyes and tested these with recently improved Drosophila melanogaster transgenes. We found that tissue clearing and mounting in DPX substantially improves signal quality when combined with specific non-cyanine fluorophores. We compared and combined this labeling technique with standard immunohistochemistry in the Drosophila brain.
Equality of What? The Capability Approach and the Right to Education for Persons with Disabilities
Authors: Broderick Andrea
Published: March 2018

The right to education is indispensable in unlocking other substantive human rights and in ensuring full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in mainstream society. The cornerstone of Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities seeks to ensure access to inclusive education for persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others as well as the full development of human potential. Since the adoption of the Convention, there has been much theorising about inclusive education; however, there has been little focus on the meaning of equality in the context of the right to education for persons with disabilities. The capability approach, developed by Amartya Sen and further refined by Martha Nussbaum, focuses on ensuring equality and developing human potential. It is often viewed as a tool that can be used to overcome the limitations of traditional equality assessments in the educational sphere, which only measure resources and outcomes. This article explores whether the capability approach can offer new insights into the vision of educational equality contained in the Convention and how that vision can be implemented at the national level.
Reasonable Accommodation as a Gateway to the Equal Enjoyment of Human Rights: From New York to Strasbourg
Authors: Ferri Delia
Published: March 2018

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) explicitly embeds the concept of reasonable accommodation within the principle of non-discrimination. Article 2 of the CRPD unambiguously recognizes that reasonable accommodation is vital in enabling persons with disabilities to enjoy and exercise their rights on an equal basis with others. This article argues that in the ten years since its entry into force, the CRPD has stimulated a process of cross-fertilization. In particular, it contends that the CRPD has played a crucial role in the advancement of disability equality, and in the recognition of reasonable accommodation as a gateway to the equal enjoyment of all human rights within the European human rights system. By adopting a legal perspective and a traditional doctrinal approach, this article focuses on relevant European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) case law. It shows the gradual adoption by the ECtHR of the concept of reasonable accommodation as an essential element to remove specific barriers or disadvantages to which a particular disabled individual would otherwise be subject. The primary emphasis of this short article is on the ECtHR case law and on the extent to which it has translated the CRPD and the work of the CRPD Committee into the European human rights system.

This article draws on the findings of the EU Framework 7 project DISCIT to explore the living situation of people with disabilities a decade after the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in nine European countries representing different welfare state models and different stages in the process of deinstitutionalisation. A review of the research literature, policy and available statistics was combined with interviews with key informants in each country to explore the current living situation, changes over time and the barriers to, and facilitators for change. The article focuses in particular on whether people are experiencing opportunities for social inclusion on an equal basis with others. Although a lack of available data hampered conclusions on living situation, it was clear that there had been some change in terms of policy and funding streams available to support community living. Some countries had moved slightly towards community living, while others reported more people in institutions or the development of bigger services in the community. There was evidence of continued inequality in the living situation and full inclusion of people with disabilities, with those with intellectual disability and psychosocial disabilities being the most affected. In terms of barriers (and consequently facilitators) there were three sources: 1) policy, 2) social care and support systems, and 3) awareness, attitudes and advocacy. The need to involve people with disabilities in policymaking and the need for a co-ordinated approach between all actors in the disability sector was seen as critical for achieving further change.

In wireless

communication systems, the improvement of data rate and quality is a priority

as a result of users' requests. During the improvement of these priority

situations, there will also be a number of losses in the signals. It is known

that the techniques used in large systems to solve such problems are not

efficient in small systems like modem. Therefore, when using a smaller system

such as a modem, the recommended techniques will have to be different.

Multimode antenna designs will be an important alternative for next generation

wireless communication systems especially for MIMO systems due to the physical

advantages of small antenna structures. In this study, MIMO channel structure

is shown and performance analysis and theories of compact micro-strip and

reconfigurable multiple antenna designs used for the development of MIMO

communication systems are mentioned.

Published: March 2018

Comparative study of anti-tuberculosis drugs anti-androgenic effects and effects on testicular CYP2E1 has been performed. Testicular CYP2E1 mRNA and protein expression, serum total testosterone level, fertility and spermatogenesis parameters in male rats under simultaneous and separate administration of ethambutol, isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide have been investigated. Analysis of the obtained data has proved the prominent role of ethambutol and isoniazid in gonadal toxicity of antituberculosis drugs combination. Activation of CYP2Е1-dependent metabolizing systems in testicular steroidogenic cells could stipulate at least a part of ethambutol, isoniazid and anti-tuberculosis drugs combination negative effects on testosterone level and spermatogenesis processes. Mechanisms of spermatogenesis alteration by rifampin and pyrazinamide need to be explored more extensively, but in the light of our observations they do not depend from testicular CYP2E1.

Published: March 2018

O Brasil é considerado o maior produtor mundial de urucum, e seu cultivo é realizado em diferentes regiões do país. No estado paulista, a Microrregião de Dracena concentra um polo de produção de urucum. Considerando as constatações de riscos à saúde humana, acarretados pelo uso de corantes artificiais, tem sido verificada uma franca expansão dos corantes naturais. Este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar o desenvolvimento do cultivo de urucum na Microrregião de Dracena. A escolha por esse objeto de análise, nessa região, deu-se pela importância socioeconômica e pela representatividade produtiva nacional e estadual. A metodologia baseou-se em um estudo exploratório de caráter qualitativo. A coleta de dados envolveu levantamento bibliográfico e uma pesquisa de campo. Foram entrevistados 15 produtores de urucum na região estudada. Considerando que se trata de uma atividade característica da pequena produção, e/ou da agricultura familiar, a manutenção e o crescimento do sistema produtivo do urucum podem favorecer o desenvolvimento regional, contribuindo como alternativa de produção agrícola, gerando renda e bem estar para a população rural.

Background: In order to improve the quality of care for patients discharged in our department, since 1996 we have initiated monthly meetings called "common staffs", with the heads of the peripheral maternities who evacuate patients, during which we analyse reference indicators and the SONUs. The objective of this study was to describe the impact of the common staff on the indicators of the reference.Methods: We carried out a retrospective cross-sectional study on the balance sheets of the common staff over the 20 years of practice.Results: In 20 years, 132 meetings were organized, during which 24,337 files were analyzed. In 1996 the indicators of evacuations were at alarming levels: the time taken between the diagnosis and the decision to evacuate was long (more than 1 hour in 83.4%), 73% of the evacuation records were poorly informed, the majority evacuations were by non-medical vehicle (54.8%), pre-discharge management was incorrect in several patients (47%), and maternal and fetal lethality were high (5% and 10%, respectively). Over time, these indicators have improved and have had a favourable impact on maternal and fetal mortality rates, which have gradually decreased. At the same time, the results of the last three years of the evacuees coming from the maternities who do not participate in our staffs, shows that the indicators are still alarming, at levels where we were at the beginning of common staffs.Conclusions: The joint staff proved to be a good practice to promote in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Departments. It helped to improve the quality of care for referred patients.
