Virtual Searches: Regulating the Covert World of Technological Policing
Authors: Chambers Luke
Published: March 2023

Virtual Searches is a timely and well-written addition to the widespread debate on how surveillance technologies should be regulated and by whom. It explores police investigatory techniques carried out technologically rather than via physical intrusion, as well as how the Fourth Amendment and the regulatory landscape is dealing with many of these new police abilities. Potentially most interesting about Slobogin’s book is that it takes a different stance from some elements of the present thought surrounding topics such as predictive policing. It resists the typically prevailing abolitionist perspectives and instead putting forward, with evidence from case law and notable use case examples, the idea that there is a non-zero-sum game in which both government and the public can regulate these new technologies to gain their benefits with mitigations in place against potential drawbacks. The book concludes with a list of concrete suggestions for regulation of novel policing technologies in a way designed to harness their anti-crime power whilst protecting against many of the negative social and ethical repercussions surveillance brings with it. How effective these would be is likely to be the subject of fruitful future discussion in this area. In all, Virtual Searches is a great addition to ongoing police technology debates, likely to be of use to legal scholars from both the U.S. and abroad due to the universality of its themes and the clear way that U.S. legal concepts are explained and explored throughout.

Aquascape merupakan salah satu bentuk media yang dapat digunakan untuk pemeliharaan ikan, terutama ikan hias untuk skala rumahan. Aquascape sendiri merupakan identitas kehidupan yang mewakili habitat asli ikan. Secara fisik, akuarium hanya bersifat sebagai sebuah tempat atau wadah. Aquscape merupakan seni memadukan tanaman air dan ikan hias di media air. Namun, produk Aquscape yang ada umumnya berukuran besar dengan harga mahal sehingga hanya dapat dijangkau oleh konsumen besar seperti hotel, restoran, dan perkantoran. Penggunaan limbah bakau adalah salah satu alternatif dan juga penggunaan bahan alam yang ramah lingkungan. Aquascape dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pasar dari menengah ke bawah dan mengakomodir kebutuhan pekerja kantoran yang tidak memiliki ruang atau tempat yang luas untuk meletakkan akuarium, maka usaha mini Aquascape menjadi sangat menjanjikan. Beberapa permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam menghadirkan suasana yang natural tersebut, dimulai dari ikan yang tidak bisa bertahan hidup hingga Aquascape ikan yang kotor dan berlumut dengan cepat. Dengan melakukan pelatihan pembuatan Aquascape mini dan teknik pemeliharaan ikan khususnya ikan hias, maka diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi kepada nelayan masyarakat pesisir untuk mencoba mengaplikasikannya untuk skala mikro rumahan. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasi lapangan, ditambah dengan studi literatur hingga sosialisasi kepada nelayan di pesisir Sulamanda.

Dengan meningkatnya populasi global, menyediakan makanan yang cukup untuk memenuhi permintaan yang meningkat telah menjadi tantangan besar bagi sektor-sektor penghasil makanan. Udang adalah komoditas unggulan di Indonesia, dan produksinya memainkan peran penting dalam industri akuakultur. Namun budidaya udang menyebabkan berbagai jenis pencemaran yang merusak lingkungan dan keanekaragaman hayati perairan, dampak terkait harus dimitigasi untuk menjamin keberlanjutan produksi udang. BBPBAP Jepara sebagai intitusi pengembang dan pengkaji teknologi akualkultur melakukan kajian lingkungan terhadap teknologi yang sedang dikembangkan. Studi ini melakukan life cycle assessment (LCA) pada budidaya udang system Milenila Shrimps Farming di kawasan Tambak BBPBAB Jepara. Dampak lingkungan titik tengah termasuk potensi pengasaman (AP), potensi eutrofikasi (EP) dan potensi pemanasan global (GWP) ditentukan. Produksi pakan diidentifikasi sebagai kontributor utama AP dan GWP untuk system MSF, terlepas dari formula pakan. Sementara kinerja lingkungan dari produksi pakan sangat bergantung pada rasio konversi pakan, bahan pakan merupakan faktor penentu lain di mana sumber protein hewani, termasuk produk sampingan unggas dan tepung ikan, menunjukkan kontribusi yang tinggi terhadap AP dan GWP. Penggunaan pakan udang adalah komponen penyumbang terbesar dari ketiga dampak tersebut, terutama dengan EP tertinggi. Pakan merupakan sumber potensi dampak tertiggi karena bahan yang digunakan memiliki komponen tepung ikan yang merupakan hasil eksploitasi laut yang selama ini cukup besar. Selain itu komponen pakan yang lain adalah bahan-bahan hasil pertanian dari import negara lain yang dibudidayakan secara intensif salah stunya adalah bahan baku kedelai dan gandum yang dalam system budidayanya masih menggunakan bahan kimia dan pupuk secara intensif.

Published: March 2023

Edwardsiella tarda is a type of gram-negative intracellular pathogen that can cause mass demise in fish farming. The development of edwarsiellosis due to E.tarda infection causes significant economic losses for cultivators. Aloe vera is a perennial succulent plant like a cactus, drought withstand, and belongs to the Liliaceae family, of which there are more than 360 known species (Wijaya and Masfufatun, 2022). Aloe vera is one of the plants known to contain active ingredients that can inhibit the growth of bacteria. The results of phytochemical analysis of a crude extract of Aloe vera showed the presence of active compounds, specifically flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids, and saponins. MIC analysis showed that the lowest absorbance value of Aloe vera was obtained at a concentration of 50 mg/L with a value of 0.316, indicating a decrease at each concentration. The concentration of 50 mg/L is close to the positive control which indicates that at a concentration of 50 mg/L, it can be the reference for the lowest concentration in determining the dose of Aloe vera extract which is known that the presence of antibacterial compounds in Aloe vera extract can inhibit the growth of E.tarda bacteria. The inhibition zone test was carried out with graded concentrations of 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 150 mg/L, 200 mg/L and 250 mg/L with an observation time of 24 hours post-incubation and 48 hours post-incubation. Inhibition zone analysis with the highest diameter was at 200 mg/L. SEM analysis by distributing a crude extract of Aloe vera affected E.tarda bacteria specifically, lysis occurring in bacterial cells

Published: March 2023

Research on 2D modeling of the subsurface structure of the Bengkulu city area was carried out using the geomagnetic method. In this study, we collected data from 130 measurement points using a set of Proton Procession Magnetometers (PPM) to obtain the total magnetic field value. The measurement data were processed by making corrections of daily variations and IGRF (International Geomagnetic Reference Field). We conducted data correction to contour the total magnetic field anomaly. After that, the contour of total magnetic field anomaly was used for the reduction to the poles. This research results from the total magnetic field anomaly show a pair of positive and negative closures. Cross-sections were made on the positive and negative closure pairs to determine the subsurface structure of the area by making a 2-dimensional (2D) model using Mag2DC software. The interpretation of the 2D modeling results shows that three rock layers are continuously arranged. The average susceptibility value of the first layer is 0.00001 cgs which is a sandstone layer at a depth of 0-400 meters; the second layer has an average susceptibility value of 0.002 cgs which is dominated by clay at a depth of 400-700 meters, and; the third layer has an average susceptibility value of 0.006 cgs which is a basalt rock layer at a depth of 700-1000 meters.

Authors: Dulanlebit Yeanchon Henry , Hernani Hernani
Published: March 2023

Seaweed is a carbohydrate polymer of alginate, agar, and carrageenan which can be extracted and purified as hydrocolloids. Each carbohydrate has different physicochemical properties and hydrocolloids can form gels when dispersed in water. To achieve targeted hydrocolloids according to specific purposes and functions, conventional extraction methods, and several green extraction methods for extracting seaweed have been proposed and discussed. The conventional extraction method is in the form of solvent extraction (SLE), while the green extraction includes: microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized solvent extraction (PSE), and reactive extrusion which automatically selectively presented as a promising method for extracting hydrocolloids in seaweed. These methods have been applied by taking into account the recovery rate, time, volume, temperature, pH, ratio, and type of solvent, as well as the type of method. This study discusses extraction methods that can extract bioactive compounds from seaweed with high yields and are economical and environmentally friendly
Identification of Amylase-Producing Thermophilic Bacteria through 16sRNA Gene Analysis: MGH3 Strain
Authors: Megahati Ruth Rize Paas
Published: March 2023

Thermostable amylase plays a role in the industrial sector because it is resistant to high temperatures, has high enzyme activity in various parameters and is economical in production costs. The thermostable amylase used in industry is stable and thermo activity. Bacteria that produce thermostable amylase can come from hot springs with temperatures above 80°C, such as Semurup hot springs, Kerinci, Jambi province, Indonesia. Semurup hot spring (Jambi) has a temperature of 82°C and a pH of 8.6. This causes variations in the content of organic, inorganic, and mineral compounds in the Semurup hot springs. The varied mineral content causes thermophilic bacteria to survive and the genetic diversity of thermophilic bacteria varies. This study aimed to molecularly identify thermostable amylase-producing thermophilic bacteria by analyzing the 16sRNA gene. Identification of bacteria was carried out by analyzing the 16S rRNA gene of thermophilic bacteria, such as DNA Isolation, DNA Amplification, 16S rRNA Gene Analysis, Alignment, and Phylogenetic Tree. There were 4 different bases between the bacterial isolates MGH3 and Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 14580, namely bases no. 87, 120, 967, and 1374. The difference of 4 bases in the two bacterial isolates already shows that the two isolates have a close kinship. So, most likely the MGH3 bacterial isolate is Bacillus licheniformis strain MGH3.

Published: March 2023

The specific purpose of this study was to determine the stability of S. sesban insecticide during storage before application and its stability in water during application. The dry powder of S. sesban leaves was extracted using water as the single solvent. Bioassay of S. sesban leaf extract was carried out on cabbage caterpillars (Plutella xylostella larvae) and Diadegma semiclausum imago on cabbage plants using a variation of storage time design. Mortality data of P. xylostella larvae and D. semiclausum imago were respectively processed by probit analysis to determine LC50. The results showed that the insect repellent content of S. sesban leaves was a compound from the saponin group and was unstable during simplicia storage, extract storage and also unstable in water before and during application. Storage of S. sesban leaf simplicia from 1 to 3 months only slightly reduced the lethal toxicity of the extract to P. xylostella larvae (mortality from 95 to 80% or LC50 from 28.82 to 28.83 ppm), but after 6 to 12 months storage, the lethal toxicity decreased drastically (mortality was 12.5 to 1.25% and LC50 was 247.99 ppm until calculated). Storage of S. sesban leaf extract from 7 to 15 days had resulted in a sharp decrease in lethal toxicity to P. xylostella larvae (mortality 70 to 40% and LC50 34.05 to 59.43 ppm) and 30 days storage causes the insect repellent to be inactive. (mortality was only 1.25% and LC50 was unaccounted for). Exposure to a solution of S. sesban leaf extract for 24 to 48 hours caused a decrease in lethal toxicity to P. xylostella larvae (mortality 32 to 28% and LC50 62.63 to 64.85 ppm) and after the solution was stored for 72 hours, the insect repellent was almost no active again (mortality was only 1.25 and LC50 was unstoppable). All storage treatments of insect repellent from S. sesban leaves showed no significant difference in the effect of lethal toxicity on D. semiclausum imago. In all the results of the bioassays, the mortality of D. semiclasum was 0 to 1.25% and each of all LC50(s) was unaccounted for

Verifying the Truth on Their Own Terms
Ottoman Philosophical Culture and the Court Debate Between Zeyrek (d. 903/1497-98 [?]) and Ḫocazāde (d. 893/1488)
Authors: Balıkçıoğlu Efe Murat
Published: March 2023

This book is a reconstruction of a previously unedited fifteenth-century court debate between two prominent Ottoman scholars, Mollā Zeyrek and Ḫocazāde, on the philosophers’ formulation of God’s unicity. The debate was a celebrated court event organized around the year of 871/1466, which continued for a week in the presence of the Ottoman Sultan Meḥmed II, his grand vizier Maḥmūd Paşa, and the jurist Mollā Ḫüsrev, most probably at the Sultan’s palatine library. This study includes the first annotated edition of this debate in Arabic along with its translation, analysis, and contextual significance in post-classical Islamic intellectual history, covering a wide range of perspectives on Arabic disputation etiquette, the method of scholarly verification, Meḥmed II’s patronage and universalism, and Ottoman philosophical discussions on unicity, existence, and necessity.
3 • Tratti evolutivi di una transizione necessaria
Authors: Stocchetti Andrea
Published: March 2023

In questo capitolo si cerca di dare una lettura sistemica alla transizione verso la trazione elettrica, cioè una lettura che metta in luce come l’aspetto tecnologico e quello strategico contribuiscano insieme a rimodellare il settore automotive in modo ben più radicale di quanto non avverrebbe se l’innovazione avesse impatti esclusivamente sulla tecnologia di prodotto. L’ipotesi di partenza è che sebbene il cambiamento di paradigma che il settore automobilistico sta vivendo non sia solo un effetto dell’innovazione nei propulsori, ciononostante quest’ultima rappresenta l’elemento catalizzatore di una opportunità strategica, e cioè il poter ripensare radicalmente sia il concetto di veicolo sia il modello di business complessivo, ben oltre la semplice elettrificazione del gruppo propulsore. In questa chiave di lettura il passaggio dell’elettrico da soluzione di nicchia a tecnologia di massa è una esperienza dalla quale, a parere di chi scrive, si possono trarre nuovi insegnamenti in merito ai processi di diffusione delle innovazioni.

Problems that are often experienced by preschool-age children include maladjustment, egocentric, aggressiveness, anxiety, and tend to withdraw from society so that it can cause behavioral problems that reduce social-emotional development. If this problem is not addressed immediately, it can have a negative impact on the health and behavior of children in adulthood. Provision of effective role playing encourages social emotional development of children where through fun playing activities, children get rich experiences so that they can improve social emotional development. This study aims to conduct a literature review review related to the influence of the role playing method on the social emotional development of preschool-aged children. The method used is SLR (Systematic Literature Review). Data collection was carried out by identifying, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages. A total of 15 articles used in this study were obtained from the PubMed, Ebsco, Sage, and Science Direct databases. The results show that role play affects children's social emotional development. The role playing method can be the right solution for educators and parents in improving children's better social emotional development

Published: March 2023

Pay-for-performance (P4P) programs offer financial incentives to healthcare providers to improve the quality of care and patient safety. Various modifications of P4P approaches have been thrust into almost all medical specialities, including radiology, despite being a referral speciality. This article introduces a performance-based premium pay system for radiology personnel implemented in the radiology departments of a private health group in Turkey. The main purpose of the system is to enable the radiology personnel (i.e. technicians, rapporteurs and supporting staff) to earn more in parallel with the increase in their workload, to eliminate the imbalance between wages, to increase the institutional loyalty and commitment of radiology personnel, to ensure ownership of their tasks and equipment, to build up a team awareness, to encourage further training and specialization, and consequently, to improve the overall quality of radiology services.

Sleep differentially and profoundly impairs recall memory in a patient with fornix damage

In March 2020, CT, a kind, bright, and friendly young woman underwent surgery for a midline tumor involving her septum pellucidum and extending down into her fornices bilaterally. Following tumor diagnosis and surgery, CT experienced significant memory deficits: CT’s family reported that she could remember things throughout the day, but when she woke up in the morning or following a nap she would expect to be in the hospital, forgetting all the information that she had learned before sleep. The current study aimed to empirically validate CT’s pattern of sleep-dependent memory loss and explore its neurological underpinnings. On two successive days, CT and age-matched controls watched an episode of a TV show and took a nap or stayed awake before completing a memory test. Although CT performed numerically worse than controls in both conditions, sleep profoundly exacerbated her memory impairment, such that she could not recall any details following a nap. This effect was replicated in a second testing session. In high-resolution MRI scans, we observed evidence of the trans-callosal surgical approach’s impact on the mid-anterior corpus callosum, showed that CT had perturbed white matter particularly in the right fornix column, and demonstrated that CT’s hippocampal volumes did not differ from controls. These findings suggest that the fornix is important for sleep-dependent consolidation of episodic memories. As the primary output pathway of the hippocampus, the fornix may ensure that specific memories are replayed during sleep, maintain the balance of sleep stages, or allow for the retrieval of memories following sleep.
Vicarious processing of affective touch: an electroencephalography (EEG) study
Authors: Pereira Ana Rita , Sampaio Adriana , McGlone Francis , González-Villar Alberto J.
Published: March 2023

Affective touch is a somatosensory modality involved in forming and consolidating positive social interactions. It is transduced in our skin presumably through C-Tactile mechanoreceptors, which are preferentially activated when touch is performed at speeds around 3cm/s (or CT-optimal speed). This increased activation, in turn, is related to greater pleasantness feelings. Given its social relevance, the observation of the affective touch can cause high empathic resonance in the observer. However, little is known whether the observation of CT-optimal touch is processed differently in our brain than at other CT-suboptimal speeds. In the present study, we evaluated the pleasantness ratings and the electroencephalogram of 30 healthy participants while they watched videos of affective touch at 3 speeds: static, slow (CT-optimal), and fast touch. We found that CT-optimal touch received higher evaluations of pleasantness and was related to a higher amplitude of the P3 component and desynchronization of beta activity compared to static or fast touch. Other frequency bands, such as theta and alpha, showed increased modulation to slow and fast touch compared to static touch, but did not allow us to distinguish between slow and fast conditions. Our results suggest that vicarious processing of affective touch at the optimal speed for CT receptors involves more processing resources and higher activation of somatosensory areas, evidencing that this modality of touch is a prioritized type of information.
Nierówności społeczne a kształtowanie tożsamości. Lektura powieści "Ma być czysto" Anny Cieplak
Authors: Janoszek Laura
Published: March 2023

Celem artykułu jest szczegółowa analiza porównawcza postaw i zachowań dwóch bohaterek powieści Ma być czysto autorstwa Anny Cieplak, Julii i Oliwki. Na problemy poruszone w tekście patrzę przede wszystkim z perspektywy literaturoznawczej, niemniej staram się wykorzystywać również liczne konteksty socjologiczne i psychologiczne. Wychodzę z założenia, że moment transformacji dziecka w dorosłego ma szczególne znaczenie w procesie kształtowania się tożsamości. Bywa jednak trudny, a nastolatki nierzadko wymagają w tym czasie wsparcia rodzinnego czy instytucjonalnego. Zwrócę uwagę na możliwości oferowane przez środowisko, w którym wychowują się dziewczyny, starając się wyeksponować jeden z głównych tematówksiążki – nierówności społeczne i ich wpływ na rozwój indywidualny nastolatek.
