Authors: Alyssa Putri Edwina , Djanuardi Djanuardi , Rachmainy Linda
Published: March 2024

Penetapan hak asuh anak yang belum mummayyiz atau belum berusia 12 (dua belas) tahun pasca terjadinya perceraian menjadi hak ibunya menurut Pasal 105 KHI. Dalam beberapa kasus, hak asuh anak yang belum mumayyiz tersebut berdasarkan putusan pengadilan diberikan kepada ayah seperti Putusan Pengadilan Tinggi Agama Jakarta Nomor 115/Pdt.G/2021/PTA.JK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pertimbangan hukum pada Putusan Nomor 115/Pdt.G/2021/PTA.JK dan akibat hukum yang timbul terhadap hak ibu dalam mengasuh anak-anaknya yang belum mumayyiz. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa pendekatan yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi bersifat deskriptif. Metode yuridis normatif dilakukan dengan cara menelaah pendekatan teori-teori dan konsep-konsep. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa majelis hakim membatalkan hak asuh anak yang belum mumayyiz dari pihak ibu karena adanya perpindahan agama dan pengaruhnya terhadap anak-anak. Ini sejalan dengan prinsip hukum Islam dan Yurisprudensi Mahkamah Agung yang menyatakan bahwa agama menjadi syarat penting dalam pengasuhan anak. Analisis juga menyoroti kewajiban orang tua untuk memberikan pendidikan agama sesuai dengan keyakinan anak, sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh Undang-Undang Perlindungan Anak. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini meskipun hak asuh berpindah kepada ayah, ibu tetap memiliki hak untuk menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai orang tua, seperti menemui dan membawa anak-anaknya untuk memberikan kasih sayang dalam pengasuhan ayah.

Developing places for human capabilities
Authors: Janssen Céline
Published: March 2024

This dissertation develops an understanding towards governing social sustainability goals into area-based urban development projects. It draws on Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach to construct a capability-centered evaluation of how institutionalized governance processes around these projects ultimately affect people’s freedoms to do the things they value in their urban living environment. Presenting case studies from the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria, the approach adopted in this dissertation reveals the unique ways in which different individuals interpret urban social sustainability and convert spatial resources into personal capabilities. The research uncovers the governance elements and institutional conditions around urban development projects that enable or constrain resource-to-capability conversions. It shows that governing social sustainability goals into urban development projects is a balancing act between reflexive governance action on the one hand, and an institutionalization of principles, actor responsibilities, and funding provision on the other hand. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that, to steer towards urban social sustainability, urban development practices can be improved by adopting an approach that is not merely focused on spatial improvements, but takes the equal expansion of human capabilities as its point of departure.

The Kovačević Case Revisited
Authors: Marko Joseph
Published: March 2024

On 20 March 2023 the Council of the European Union gave Bosnia and Hercegovina green light to start accession negotiations. However, despite this political endorsement, BiH must fulfill the conditionality criteria, including a series of six judgments by the ECtHR relating to the predetermined ethnic keys. The last case, Kovačević v. BiH, was referred to the Grand Chamber in December 2023. If the Court follows its previous case law, this should force the mono-ethnic political parties and their leaders as well as the EU institutions to insist on de-blocking the constitutional impasse for any realistic steps towards European integration.
Lessons by Epicurus: Philosophy as a way of life
Authors: Pereira da Silva André
Published: March 2024

Throughout all Antiquity, philosophy was characterized as a practical activity, as a way of life composed of ideas, values and discourses to which individuals voluntarily joined. For the Hellenistic era philosopher, Epicurus (341 – 270 BC), philosophy was characterized as a life practice aimed at obtaining pleasures and the achievement of happiness. Unlike the intrinsic reality inherent to ancient philosophy, the contemporary philosophy is largely characterized by the theoretical and academic aspect that privileges the discourse as a formal structure, to the detriment of practice, of daily action related to self-care and to the transformation of the lifestyle. By using Epicurus’ thought (2005) as theoretical reference, as well as the concept of philosophy presented by Pierre Hadot (2014) and Michel Onfray (2010), this work aims to reflect about the contrasts between the experience of philosophy in Antiquity and its production in contemporaneity, as well as it aims to analyze the possibility of a return to philosophy as a practical, daily activity of an individual character and/or collective character.

Authors: A. Nabeeh Nada , M. Sallam Karam
Published: March 2024

Bearings offers a variety of products designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the medical sector for patient safety, such as diagnostic and laboratory equipment, surgical and dental instruments, ventilators, heart pumps, etc. In the field of medical instruments, the bearing rings compromise from superior quality metals to perform surgical operations safely. The selection of the best bearing ring materials for medical applications is a critical task that involves considering various factors to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and safety. The study explores challenges and criteria in selecting the ideal bearing ring for medical devices and equipment. The criteria discussed encompass material compatibility, biocompatibility, lubrication requirements, precision, cleanliness, durability, noise and vibration control, size and dimension, load capacity, temperature and environmental conditions, regulatory compliance, manufacturing considerations, compatibility with adjacent components, maintenance, and serviceability. The challenges mainly include biocompatibility validation, material selection, performance requirements, regulatory compliance, size limitations, cost considerations, supply chain reliability, long-term stability, maintenance, expertise, and collaboration. To address the current challenges of medical bearing the study needs to understand the medical requirements, and engagement with trusted suppliers and regulatory bodies. The study presents a multi-criteria decision-making methodology (MCDM) problem with various criteria and alternatives with uncertainty conditions. The decision maker’s perspectives evaluate the importance of criteria and alternatives. The neutrosophic set is used to deal with uncertainty conditions. The study illustrates a solution to select the best bearing ring to ensure the success and safety of medical applications. The MCDM provides solutions to choose the best bearing ring. A Combined Compromised Solution (CoCoSo) method is used as an MCDM method with neutrosophic theory to select the best alternatives. A numerical case study is presented to show the applicability and availability of the proposed methodology.
REFLEXÕES CRIMINOLÓGICAS E O JULGAMENTO PELO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL ACERCA DA CONSTITUCIONALIDADE DO ARTIGO 41 DA LEI MARIA DA PENHA
Authors: Silva Márcio , Paiva Renato
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma abordagem teórica criminológica como substrato para dar suporte a algumas reflexões sobre o julgamento, pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), proferido no Habeas Corpus (HC) nº 106.212-MS, em 24 de março de 2011. Nosso objetivo será o de verificar se a conclusão a que chegou o Supremo Tribunal Federal no citado julgamento pode fazer com que se considere ou não o desfecho do caso com viés, ou seja, se a partir das críticas sobre a pena de prisão, os efeitos desfavoráveis produzidos pelo encarceramento em massa, como a institucionalização, o etiquetamento, a dificuldade de reinserção social do egresso do sistema penitenciário, até os aspectos relativos a questão da aplicação da justiça restaurativa, fariam com que fosse possível, do ponto de vista teórico, considerar o mérito da decisão proferida pela Suprema Corte no caso citado, como sendo um julgamento marcado por alguma distorção ou falta de correspondência com os argumentos solidamente construídos pela criminologia tradicional ou mesmo pela criminologia crítica.

Behavioral and hormonal changes following the continuous administration of testosterone in females in capuchin monkey adult females (Sapajus Libidinosus)
Authors: Rodrigues Rosângela Correa , Tavares Maria Clotilde Henriques
Published: March 2024

Although the role of estradiol in female sexual behavior is well documented, some studies have suggested a joint action of this steroid with testosterone in modulating female sexual behavior. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of testosterone administration on the behavioral and hormonal aspects of female capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus). 12 adult female capuchin monkeys kept at the Primatology Center of the University of Brasília were used. The study was divided into three phases, that is, 1st phase: baseline (24 days); 2nd phase: testosterone treatment (63 days) and 3rd phase: Placebo (63 days), totaling 150 consecutive days. The sexual and non-sexual behavior of the monkeys was monitored throughout the phases using the Focal Animal Method. For hormonal analyses, 15 blood samples were collected from each female every 10 days. An increase in the frequency of expression of sexual behavior (p<0.05) and serum levels of testosterone and DHT (p<0.05) was observed during testosterone treatment. Thus, this study points to a positive effect of exogenous testosterone in modulating the sexual behavior of female capuchin monkeys. The results of this study may contribute to a better understanding of continued testosterone use in humans and may be useful in assessing the risks of chronic testosterone use.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype caused by a mutation in the BRCA 1 gene, which is responsible for the components of DNA. In this histological type of cancer, estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 protein receptors are absent, making it very aggressive, with great metastatic potential and a lack of therapies, requiring surgical intervention and a neoadjuvant approach. In this way, the study aims to list and discuss the effectiveness of different treatments for triple-negative breast cancer. This is a systematic review of the effectiveness of treatments for triple-negative breast cancer. A search was carried out in the U.S National Library of Medicine (PubMed) database, with articles searched between 2018 and November 8, 2023, with the descriptors: (“triple-negative breast cancer” OR “triple-negative breast neoplasm”) And treatment AND efficiency AND effectiveness. 203 studies were gathered, 200 of which were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. Studies were analyzed resulting from the predictions of the use of SWE images and their effect on TNBC, in addition to the efficacy and prognosis of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in conjunction with breast-conserving surgery, as well as the creation of an evaluative measurement index of the efficacy of neoadjuvant systemic therapy. Considering the analysis of these studies, the transition to breast-conserving surgery combined with NAC represents the best strategy, with superior operational results. However, there is a need for more in-depth evaluations regarding research in TNBC treatment.

The key role of vitamin C in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension of meat-type chickens: role of caspase-3
Authors: Zarei Hamed , Maleki Mohammad Reza
Published: March 2024

Ascites is a prominent example of the pathophysiological interaction between the heart and lungs in broilers. Previous experiments have shown that the amount of apoptosis increases in heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. In the current study, the effect of vitamin C on apoptosis was investigated by measuring the expression of the CASP3 gene in the heart and lungs of chickens with ascites. For this purpose, 90 one-day-old meat-type chickens were divided into three groups (sham (basal diet), control (basal diet +1.5 mg/kg of triiodothyronine (T3)), and treatment group (basal diet + 1.5 mg/kg of T3 + 1200 ppm of vitamin C)) and bred for 49 days. On the 21st and 49th days after rearing, 15 chickens from each group were selected randomly, and the right ventricle/ total ventricle weight ratio (RV/TV), as well as the expression level of CASP3 genes in the lung and right ventricle of all groups were measured and compared. The amount of mRNA related to CASP3 gene at the age of 21 and 49 days demonstrated a meaningful decrease in the treatment group compared to the control group (P<0.05). This significant difference indicates the reduction of apoptosis in the group treated with vitamin C. Also, RV/TV as an index of the induction of this syndrome improved in the treatment group at the age of 21 and 49 days (P<0.05). Finally, according to the current study's findings, vitamin C has ameliorating effects in treating ascites in meat-type chickens.

Authors: Ullah Wahid , Bano Sher , Talal Hamzah , Ahmed Kaleem , Arshad Talha , Khan Sulman , Ajmal Aizaz
Published: March 2024

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has highlighted acute kidney injury (AKI) as a significant complication among hospitalized patients, with varying incidences reported globally. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 related AKI encompasses direct viral damage, systemic inflammation, and the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), among other factors. This complexity underscores the need for a detailed understanding of its epidemiology, clinical presentation, and management strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Objective: To synthesize current knowledge on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of AKI in COVID-19 patients, aiming to identify key factors influencing incidence rates, patient prognosis, and effective therapeutic approaches.
Methods: A comprehensive review of literature was conducted, examining studies from various geographical regions that reported on the incidence, risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentation, and management of AKI in COVID-19 patients. Data on renal replacement therapy needs, mortality rates, and outcomes related to different management strategies were also collated.
Results: The incidence of AKI among COVID-19 patients varies significantly, with higher rates observed in critically ill patients. Key risk factors include older age, pre-existing comorbidities (e.g., hypertension, diabetes mellitus), and severe COVID-19 infection. The clinical presentation of AKI in the context of COVID-19 is characterized by abnormalities in urinary sediment, including albuminuria and hematuria. Management strategies largely align with those for AKI due to other causes, focusing on fluid and hemodynamic management, cautious use of nephrotoxic drugs, and consideration of RAAS inhibitors. The mortality rate among COVID-19 patients with AKI is notably high, particularly in those requiring renal replacement therapy.
Conclusion: AKI is a common and serious complication of COVID-19, associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. A multidisciplinary approach, incorporating current guidelines and tailored management strategies, is essential for the care of these patients. Further research is needed to fully understand the pathophysiology of COVID-19 related AKI and to identify effective treatments.

Authors: Nazeer Imran , Jamshaid Saima , Mushtaq Khan Nida
Published: March 2024

Augmented Reality (AR) technology has begun to significantly influence human interaction with language, particularly in English language use. Hence, this research examined the influence of Augmented Reality (AR) on communication patterns, the emergence of specialized AR-related language, and its impact on English language norms. For this purpose, 10 Students from the MA TEFL workshop at Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, were selected to conduct detailed interviews. Interview data and its content were analyzed linguistically. These students were also teachers, so the data were used both ways. Through linguistic analysis, it was found that Augmented Reality (AR) significantly influences English language communication patterns by notable shifts in vocabulary, syntax, and discourse structures. Integrating AR-specific terms into everyday language among MA TEFL students signifies a transformative impact on linguistic norms, reflecting a deeper entwinement of language and technology. The study's findings recommended that language educators and curriculum developers should actively integrate AR technology and its associated linguistic elements into English language teaching and learning frameworks.

Reading the Gospels as Biographies of a Sage
Authors: Keener Craig S.
Published: March 2024

This paper argues that the Gospels are ancient biographies of a recent figure. Ancient biographies of recent figures normally preserved a significant amount of accurate information about those figures, so our default expectation should be the same for the Gospels. The paper also argues that the Gospels are biographies of a sage and that this may strengthen the expectation further. Almost no one today doubts that Jesus was a sage with disciples. Yet disciples in this period normally carefully preserved and propagated their masters’ teachings. Thus our default expectation, barring strong evidence to the contrary, should be the same for Jesus’ disciples.

A field study was conducted to investigate the effects of stage of growth on the forage yield, mineral composition and nutrient uptake of three sorghum varieties at the Teaching and Research Farm, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma. A 3×3 factorial design fitted into a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) was used. The three varieties of sorghum used were: Samsorg 16, 44 and 48 while the three stages of growth were: vegetative (6 WAP), flowering (12 WAP) and fruiting (16 WAP). Data were obtained on vegetative parameters, forage and dry matter yields. The mineral composition and nutrient uptake were also determined. The results showed that except for the number of tillersplant-1, stage of growth significantly influenced the vegetative characters and yield of sorghum. Samsorg 16 at the fruiting stage had the highest forage (29.20 t ha-1) and dry matter yields (14.85 t ha-1). The macro-and micro-nutrients in the leaves of the crops were adequate except for Mn, Zn and Cu contents compared to the established critical levels for ruminant animal production. Samsorg 48 at fruiting and vegetative stages had the highest and least uptake of P, K, Mg, Ca and Na, respectively. However, considering the nutrient uptake, Samsorg 16 variety harvested at the fruiting stage is recommended as forage for livestock production and nutrition in this zone.
