Authors: Rifanka Irma Naura , Panjaitan Ruqiah Ganda Putri , Tenriawaru Andi Besse , Li Liangyue
Published: December 2024

The rapid advancement of technology enables the development of technology-based learning media that can visualize concepts clearly, such as learning videos. These videos can be developed based on various sources, including research findings. Therefore, this study aims to develop a learning video on the topic of the circulatory system for high school students in the eleventh grade, based on the hemostatic activity test of sungkai leaves extract (Peronema canescens Jack.). The development process follows the Research and Development (RD) approach, which includes analyzing potential issues, gathering information, designing the product, validating the design, making improvements, and producing the final product. The video contains nine learning objectives organized into five sessions. The validity of the learning video is assessed based on four aspects: format, content, linguistic, and presentation. According to the validation results from the validators, all aspects received a very valid rating, with average scores of 0.96 for format, 0.95 for content, 0.93 for linguistic, and 0.95 for presentation. Overall, the average score for all four aspects is 0.95, indicating a very valid rating. This suggests that the developed video is suitable for use as a learning media.

Published: December 2024

Cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common opportunistic infection of the central nervous system during HIV infection in Europe and Africa. The diagnosis is made by a set of clinical, radiological, serological, histological, molecular arguments as well as the response or not to the anti-toxoplasmosis treatment. We report the case of a 52-year-old HIV-infected patient, CD4 count at 11 / mm3, who presented a month before admission with fever and weight loss amounting to 15 kg, headache, memory problems, without signs of deficit or signs of intracranial hypertension. A lumbar puncture (LP) was performed after elimination of contraindications showed isolated hyperproteinorrachia, cerebral computed tomography scan (CT scan) was performed after its availability showed an image of abscess, anti-toxoplasmosis treatment was started, further brain MRI confirmed the abscess image, and toxoplasmosis serology was requested twice and came back negative, PCR for Toxoplasma gondii was requested in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and returned positive. The outcome was good clinically and radiologically. A control CT scan performed 3 months after showed almost total disappearance of the lesion. The diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis must be made in HIV- infected patients in front of any neurological manifestations with suggestive radiological images even with negative serology.

Published: December 2024

The Minangkabau community, known for its devout religiosity, is unique in its adherence to a matrilineal kinship system, which differs from the patrilineal teachings of Islam. This article explains the relationship between customary law, Islam, Minangkabau society in Hamka's works.The findings not only show how the relationship between customs and religion manifest themselves in Minangkabau society, as shown in the works that are the subject of this study, but also include a critique of this relationship. Hamka argues through his works that the relationship embodied in the Minangkabau concept, namely syarak bersanding adat, adat bersanding kitabullah (religion alongside custom, custom alongside the Book of Allah), is not yet an ideal concept because it is not dominated by Sharia. As a result, the customary system still leads to discrimination, not only against outsiders but also among community members themselves, regarding the regulation of marriage and inheritance

Breastfeeding (BF) is an optimal nutrition and a strong epigenetic factor in the metabolic programming of the child's health. The purpose of this research was to determine the predictors for successful BF that contribute to further formation of breastfeeding dominance and its implementation during the lactation period. Materials and methods used: a single-center cross-sectional survey study included 6,263 mothers with experience of breastfeeding their full-term child from more than 500 settlements overall Russia. Questionnaires were received in both paper and electronic versions. The influence of 38 factors on the risk of lactation cessation determining the successful BF was assessed using multivariate analysis. Results: predictors influencing the successful BF were determined (p<0.05) as follows. Predictors that increase the risk of BF cessation include cesarean section (OR=1.16 [95% CI 1.02; 1.31]), introduction of infant formula (IF) after discharge from the maternity hospital (OR=5.07 [95% CI 4.52; 5.69]), supplementary feeding with IF during the first six months of life (OR=1.49 [95% CI 1.30; 1.71]) and BF suggestions from nurses during lactation (OR=1.21 [95% CI 1.08; 1.37]). Predictors that reduce the risk of BF cessation include co-sleeping with the child (OR=0.59 [95% CI 0.52; 0.66]), BF suggestions from nutritionist consultants during lactation (OR=0.61 [95% CI 0.55; 0.67]), information on the BF benefits obtained from the Internet (OR=0.77 [95% CI 0.69; 0.87]) and maternal age over 28 y/o (OR=0.97 [95% CI 0.96; 0.98]). Conclusion: the successful BF determined by the lactation duration is positively affected by co-sleeping with the child, BF suggestions that come from nutritionist consultants during lactation and information on the BF benefits from the Internet.

Autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs) are a group of rare disorders characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation with neither infectious nor autoimmune nor neoplastic trigger. The AIDs pathogenesis is based on mutations in genes that lead to uncontrolled and excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines. Authors represent current views on the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of the most studied monogenic AIDs. New therapeutic approaches based on targeted blockade of key inflammatory mediators are described as well.

Leptin is an energy homeostasis marker synthesized by cells of adipose tissue (adipocytes) and gastric mucosa. The search for clinical and anthropometric parameters associated with energy homeostasis disorders in excess body weight (BW) and obesity is necessary for stratification of patients at risk for early implementation of energy homeostasis disorders. The purpose of this re-search was to evaluate the relationship between serum leptin concentration and anthropometric parameters reflecting the topography of subcutaneous fat in adolescents of different ethnicities with excess BW and obesity in order to identify the most informative anthropometric parameters of energy homeosta-sis disorders. Materials and methods used: a single-center cross-sectional study of 362 adolescents aged 11 to 17 y/o residing in the
Republic of Buryatia and the Irkutsk Oblast of Russia was conducted in 2015-2016 that included the participants as follows: 186 Caucasians (46 boys/140 girls) and 176 Mongoloids (96 boys/80 girls); 136 adolescents in the control group (38%) and 226 adolescents with excess BW and obesity (62%). All par-ticipants had their linear height, BW, waist (WC) and hip (HC) circumference, skinfold thickness measured as well as the body mass index (BMI, in kg per m2) calculated. The concentrations of glucose, total cholesterol, high-density, low-density and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and in-sulin were determined. The HOMA index was calculated. Serum leptin was de-termined by enzyme immunoassay using DBC Leptin ELISA kit (Diagnostics Biochem Canada Inc., Canada) with detection using BioTek Elx808 Microplate Spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA). Results: a strong posi-tive correlation was found between serum leptin levels and SDS BMI and trip-onderal BMI in adolescents of both ethnic groups: in Caucasian boys r=0.747 (p<0.001), r=0.767 (p<0.001), in Caucasian girls r=0.687 (p<0.001) and r=0.695 (p<0.001); in Mongoloid boys r=0.765 (p<0.001), r=0.852 (p<0.001), in Mongoloid girls r=0.612 (p<0.001), r=0.667 (p<0.001), respectively. Ac-cording to the results of ROC analysis, AUC WC/height showed good diagnos-tic significance for detecting hyperleptinemia (AUC=0.8-0.9) in adolescents from all the studied groups. Conclusion: the triponderal index and the WC/height ratio are informative anthropometric indicators for energy metabo-lism disorders and hyperleptinemia in Caucasian and Mongoloid adolescents of both genders with excess BW and obesity.
Wonder, Wandering, Mystery: Ricoeur on Sexuality and Eroticism – With a Brief Comparison to Marion and Levinas
Authors: KEREKES Erzsébet
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we aim to introduce and analyze a lesser-known text by Paul Ricoeur, “La merveille, l’errance, l’enigme”, which was originally written as an introduction to the November 1960 issue of the journal Esprit, dedicated to the theme of sexuality.  Along the two paths of sexuality—tenderness and eroticism—what becomes evident is that sexuality, fundamentally, proves impenetrable to reflection and remains inaccessible to human dominance.
After presenting Ricoeur’s reflections on sexuality and eroticism, this paper will also briefly compare his views with those of Jean-Luc Marion and Emmanuel Levinas, highlighting the distinctive contributions of these philosophers in relation to the themes of love, eroticism, and the self-other dynamic.
For a Hermeneutic Phenomenological Approach to Teacher Observation
Authors: COSTACHE Adrian
Published: December 2024

The present paper describes an alternative mode of doing teacher observation meant to overcome the limitations of the common approach in use today. To this end, the paper first draws upon the hermeneutic theory of perception developed by Graeme Nicholson and establishes the fundamental principle that ought to govern didactic observation and the conditions of possibility of this endeavor. Subsequently, taking Lester Embree’s description of phenomenological observation as model, the paper describes the basic rules to be followed. The paper ends with a series of logistic recommendations designed to increase the pedagogical gains of the process.
Commentaire de l’article 2 du Credo : le Fils, de la même nature que le Père ou le Fils consubstantiel au Père ?

Commentary to Article 2 of the Creed: The Son, of the same Substance with the Father or the Son - Consubstantial with the Father? The Trinity's dogma of consubstantiality established at the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, in 325 AD, is a fundamental truth of the Christian faith. It guarantees the divine identity of Christ, the perfect and substantial unity of the Holy Trinity, but also the identity of the Church which has a Trinitarian origin and mission. If the Greek and Latin text created at the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea is unchanged, the French version of the Faith Symbol was changed in 1964. The expression “Son, of the same substance as the Father” was changed to another expression which does not underline enough the divinity of Christ “Son, of the same nature as the Father”. The philosophy's exam proves that the term nature is ambiguous, because it can be applied to human being, to the entire creation and to God. Beginning with the first Sunday of the Advent 2019, the French version of the Faith Symbol will reinstate the term used since 325, “Son, of the same substance as the Father” (homoousios). The testimony of the Trinitarian faith cannot be changed in its basis, it supposes an exact terminology.

The Aristotelian Theos and The “Thomistic” God: On the Natural and Su-pernatural Revelation. If in Aristotle, the first mover unmoved (πρῶτον κινοῦν ἀκίνητον), which represents God in the strict sense, never leaves its absolute autarchic state, being, at the same time, coeternal with movement and matter, in Thomistic the-ology, based predominantly on Supernatural Revelation, God is the only timeless, eternal one. Although the universe was created by Him, ex nihilo, His relationship with the world and, in particular, with people it was, it is and it will be a personal one, based on the being (esse) given to each thing through participatio, but also on His eternal love („amor Dei aeternus est”).

The Pedagogy of the Interval – Toward a Model of Divine Pedagogy (edu-cating for freedom – interval as divine pedagogy). This study is an attempt to substantiate human pedagogy on the model of divine pedagogy - the pedagogy of “the interval”, whose symbolic image might be “the empty space” existing between the Cre-ator and Adam in Michelangelo's fresco Creation of Adam. It is the antinomic struc-tural space par excellence, the space of freedom and lack of freedom, of order and dis-order, that make the flowering of the human creativity possible, according to the logic of a harmonious life seen as a whole. Freedom includes, as a spiral of the opposites, the aspiration for freedom (the good, truth, beauty, justice, etc.) and the run away from freedom (disharmony, disorder, injustice, malice, etc.). Without the acceptance of this dramatic antinomic dynamics of pathos - passion, joy - suffering, death - life, there can be no evolution, no progress, no real foundation for a viable human pedagogy.

Seneca, Quintilian, and Pliny the Younger, Exceptional Personalities of Roman Culture from the 1st Century AD. In the first century AD. Roman culture managed to give the universal heritage exceptional personalities, who thru their writ-ings influenced both contemporaries and those of the next generations. Thus, thru his vast work, Seneca will remain one of the great personalities of his time. In his writings he pursued, with priority, the improvement of moral life and therefore he managed to be over time a source of inspiration for many cultural and philosophical personalities, but also for some of the Church Fathers and Christian moralists. Quintilian is a peda-gog-practitioner, who shows the means of training a good speaker, but, at the same time, builds a pedagogy with rich nuances and pragmatic openings. Quintilian’s per-sonality was appreciated not only by his contemporaries, but also by future genera-tions. Saint Jerome (347-420 AD), Rufinus of Aquileia (345-410 AD), as well as Cassi-odorus (490-580 AD), quoted from Quintilian’s work. In the correspondence between Pliny the Younger and Emperor Trajan are two letters, dated 112 AD, which are im-portant for the history of Christianity, because here we have some information about the moral life of Christians, but also about Christian worship and the Eucharistic as-sembly practised on Sunday.

Liturgical-Identitary Reflection Regarding the Building of The Tent of Meeting. Textual Criticism of Exodus 25-40. The pursuit of God's presence stands as a paramount objective in the observance of sacred rituals. The Tent of Meeting, meticulously crafted at the behest of divine command, serves as the locus where the Almighty dwells amidst His people. The conclusion of the Book of Exodus lays the foundational stones of divine worship and liturgical tradition. Chapters 35-40 of Exodus offer a vivid portrayal of the construction of the sanctuary, ordained by YHWH to signify His abiding presence amidst the children of Israel. Even a superficial perusal of these concluding chapters reveals notable disparities between the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint. Thus, what becomes of the assertion, “they did everything just as the Lord had commanded”? The allure of Holy Scripture lies precisely in its myriad versions and translations, which have flourished across diverse historical and cultural landscapes. However, the existence of one rendition does not preclude another. The Hebrew original does not nullify the Septuagint, for instance, in the pursuit of a standardized, singular version. The pristine manuscript is now a relic of antiquity. Instead, we are bestowed with copies, translations, interpretations, and textual divergences. This inquiry aims to scrutinize these various sources, discerning and dissecting their similarities and disparities. We cannot focus solely on one textual variant and disregard all others in order to formulate our overarching conclusions regarding the sacred text.

Promises, Ecumenical Openings and Risks in the Sacramental Theology of Alexander Schmemann. This article explores the sacramental theology of Alexander Schmemann, outlining a peculiar vision which is both liturgical and cosmical, in which the world itself is seen as a revelation and manifestation of God’s presence, corrupted by the Fall, restored in Christ and celebrated in the liturgy. I regard the proposal of the Russian American liturgical scholar as a worthy challenge against the secular vision of reality, yet its ecumenical outreach and philosophical framework may necessitate further interconfessional and interdisciplinary analyses.

Dano moral coletivo no ambiente de trabalho: a responsabilização do empregador pela falta de banheiros e assistência mínima
Authors: Pereira Semião Pedro , Toporoski Elizeu Luiz
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo geral refletir sobre a configuração de dano moral coletivo em virtude da não disponibilização de banheiros e condições mínimas de trabalho aos empregados em atividades externas. Trata-se de violação à Norma Regulamentadora nº 24 do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, que busca assegurar condições sanitárias adequadas e conforto no ambiente de trabalho. Com esse propósito, tem-se a intenção de estabelecer uma conexão entre o Direito do Trabalho e a dignidade humana, além de explorar os danos morais individuais e coletivos resultantes da transgressão dos direitos fundamentais dos trabalhadores. E, também, pretende-se examinar como a jurisprudência aborda a viabilidade do dano moral coletivo quando um empregador omite a oferta de condições sanitárias adequadas e mínimas para aqueles que exercem suas atividades em ambientes distintos da sede do empregador. Metodologicamente o estudo classifica-se como dedutivo, descritivo e bibliográfico. Constata-se que a inobservância às normas que asseguram acesso a sanitários adequados e assistência mínima para proporcionar um ambiente de trabalho sadio gera danos de natureza extrapatrimonial, que transcendem a esfera individual. Por isso os Tribunais brasileiros vêm reconhecendo que a violação à NR 24 gera danos coletivos, pois ao não ofertar condições sanitárias adequadas e condições mínimas de laborar aos trabalhadores, mormente aqueles que estão em atividade externas, viola a dignidade do trabalhador, atingindo toda a coletividade.
Guerra Rússia X Ucrânia: um desafio contemporâneo à comunidade internacional

Published: December 2024

O presente artigo traz como ponto de partida o conceito de guerra ao longo da história e sua transformação de opção legítima para resolução de controvérsias até sua completa ilegalidade independente dos motivos. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica em livros e artigos, bem como matérias jornalísticas, traz o cenário atual posto como desafio a comunidade internacional em virtude do mais recente conflito em solo europeu envolvendo Rússia e Ucrânia. Com os meios pacíficos de solução de controvérsias distantes no horizonte, as forças russas seguem em busca de seus objetivos com a chamada Operação Militar Especial e os ucranianos resistem e buscam expulsar o inimigo de seu território com o auxílio do Ocidente. Todavia o que constata-se é o sofrimento da população e desrespeito aos direitos humanos, atrelados com o medo de escalada no conflito, que será resolvido com verdadeiros esforços e ação coletiva dos países para afirmação dos princípios e regras do direito internacional.
Responsabilidade civil por abandono de idoso e o dever de indenizar
Authors: Veiga Natasha Alves da , Bueno Mariza Schuster
Published: December 2024

A presente pesquisa visa analisar a responsabilidade civil por abandono afetivo de idoso causado especificamente pelo abandono por parte dos familiares que deveriam assegurar todos os seus direitos. Os objetivos específicos abordam a proteção legislativa ao idoso, com especial atuação do Ministério Público na proteção de seus direitos; elencar no Estatuto da Pessoa Idosa a garantia dos direitos da pessoa idosa; identificar a responsabilidade civil e o dever de indenizar na legislação pertinente; e, por fim, o abandono afetivo inverso e a possibilidade da responsabilidade civil por parte dos filhos. A metodologia é qualitativa através do método dedutivo, pela leitura e posterior fichamento de obras doutrinárias e artigos científicos, bem como a análise documental em códigos normativos, especialmente a Constituição Federal e o Estatuto do Idoso. Conclui-se que não há decisões judiciais que concedem o direito a indenização por danos materiais e morais decorrente do abandono de pessoa idosa, apenas decisões que reconhecem a responsabilidade civil por abandono afetivo paterno-filial. Doutrinadores defendem que as duas formas de abandono afetivo merecem o mesmo reconhecimento de responsabilidade civil. Ainda, há impasse judicial sobre quando o afeto se caracteriza como princípio e quando se trata apenas de valor jurídico. A maior possibilidade para que ocorra a indenização por danos morais é por meio da aprovação do Projeto de Lei n. 4294/08.
A prática de sexting mediante a utilização da internet suas perspectivas penais
Authors: Volkman Helimar , Boldori Marcelo José
Published: December 2024

O sexting é um fenômeno que vem ocorrendo em plena Era Digital, sendo motivado principalmente pela facilidade de se criar relações através das redes sociais e aplicativos, proporcionando assim, uma comunicação entre pessoas de maneira instantânea. A palavra “sexting” pode ser caracterizada como mensagens de textos, fotografias, vídeos e/ou qualquer tipo de forma que apresente conteúdo sexual (erótico). O objetivo geral do presente, foi estudar as especificidades e conceitos que caracterizam as ações de sexting, e seus reflexos jurídicos e penais dentro do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro.A problemática evidenciada no estudo, se apresenta na seguinte questão:Como o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro tem enfrentado o sexting, por se tratar de uma modalidade muito recente de crime sexual, diante de suas especificidades e características?Os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados no estudo, foram caracterizados pela pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa qualitativa, pesquisa descritiva e exploratória. Os resultados encontrados no estudo buscam trazer maior compreensão a um tema contemporâneo, e que necessário se faz, proporcionar um maior conhecimento diante da recente onda digital que é o sexting. Conclui-se que o sexting apresenta variados riscos em si, tais como: difamação e injúria, violência psicológica e crime digital. O Código Penal busca defender as pessoas que são vítimas da prática do sexting, tal prática resulta em transtornos psicossociais com quadros de depressão, que podem em alguns casos levar ao suicídio. A utilização de mídias sociais de maneira inadequada, podem sim acarretar em abalos nas relações sociais, afetivas e emocionais. Dessa forma, o Estado busca defender as pessoas acometidas por tal ato.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a negligência estatal em relação à saúde mental no Brasil, abordando a falta de investimento, estrutura e profissionais capacitados no sistema de saúde mental. A negligência viola os direitos fundamentais à vida, saúde e conquista da pessoa humana, garantidos pela Constituição Federal. As doenças sentidas, como depressão, ansiedade e bipolaridade, impactam a vida profissional e acadêmica, prejudicando a produtividade e o bem-estar das pessoas. O acesso aos serviços de saúde mental e tratamento adequado é um desafio, devido à falta de recursos e longos filas de espera. A pesquisa sobre a negligência estatal na saúde mental é relevante para a conscientização, desenvolvimento de políticas públicas e melhoria do sistema de saúde, garantindo a inclusão e proteção dos direitos das pessoas com doenças mentais. O presente artigo adotará uma abordagem no método dedutivo hipotético, uma abordagem lógica é empregada para explorar as possíveis consequências da ausência de políticas públicas efetivas na área da saúde mental.

Published: December 2024

Observa-se que a Lei n. 14.230, de 25 de outubro de 2021, acabou trazendo alterações na Lei de Improbidade Administrativa que vigora no Brasil. Para tal, dentre as principais modificações no texto, encontra-se a exigência do dolo por parte dos agentes públicos, que é caracterizado pela intenção de cometer um crime de improbidade. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral do estudo foi estudar a nova Lei de Improbidade Administrativa e sua aplicabilidade aos agentes públicos, analisando suas perspectivas legais dentro do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Logo, para melhor compreensão do funcionamento da atual Lei de Improbidade Administrativa, bem como, das consequências para quem comete um crime de improbidade administrativa, o estudo traz a seguinte pergunta problema: Com as mudanças trazidas pela Lei nº 14.230/2021 como é responsabilizado os agentes públicos quando no cometimento de crime de improbidade? Os procedimentos metodológicos foram compreendidos pela pesquisa bibliográfica, qualitativa, descritiva e documental. Os resultados apontados no estudo demonstraram que a fundamental modificação legal foi compreendida pela exigência de dolo (intenção) para que os agentes públicos sejam responsabilizados. Conclui-se que a nova Lei de Improbidade Administrativa pode ser entendida como um marco importantíssimo na garantia do combate à corrupção sistemática nos poderes públicos e em entidades privadas, e de seus respectivos agentes públicos.

The use of data-driven performance management systems is claimed to make the performance appraisals fairer and more transparent to the worker, and their supposed objectivity is used to justify their deployment in the workplace as instruments of remote surveillance. This paper presents insights from the case study of a performance management system that was installed at an Indian IT services organisation following the transition to remote work. Despite its mobilisation around greater accuracy and objectivity in performance appraisals, the paper demonstrates that techniques of quantification in the system generated information that was empty of any managerial value. The dichotomous understanding of productivity encoded in the system also entrenched the subjective interests of managers into performance appraisals, creating conflicts of interest in supervision that eroded the interests of the workers. As the system misread and distorted the everyday realities of work, the workers governed by it were compelled to engage in “meta work” (Maggiori 2023) that effectively undermined their productivity. By staging the empirical insights from this case study within the politically fraught character of digital Taylorism, the paper seeks to understand why the performance management system failed to meet the sanguine promises of the digital that are often marshalled around data-driven management. Based on evidence from the Indian IT sector, it argues that the translation of worker activities into egregiously oversimplified productivity data, and the eventual normalization of the data using statistical techniques, enabled the organisation to translate the worker population into a fleet of disposable human capital. This, it further argues, has been a strategy that has been in place not only to control alienated labour but also to protect the IT industry’s ability to arbitrage labour costs amidst the vagaries of informational capitalism.
Squeeveillance: Performing Cuteness to Normalise Surveillance Power
Authors: Benjamin Garfield
Published: December 2024

Cute videos are everywhere online. Many of these videos increasingly come from footage taken by doorbell cameras. Amazon’s Ring, and related connected camera devices, introduce new sociotechnical relations into domestic environments. First, I outline “squeeveillance” as the affective and performative dimensions of cuteness within surveillance. I explore the Ring surveillant assemblage and why it needs the power of cuteness. Then, I examine squeeveillance as the use of cuteness in the way Ring operates. I use the TV show Ring Nation (2022–present) to discuss the remediation of cute footage from doorbell cameras onto other media, before discussing the ways in which cuteness is performed as a normalisation of surveillance power. The article draws on theories of cuteness in conjunction with surveillance studies of power relations. In presenting squeeveillance as a lens through which to assess the expanding scope of Ring, I offer a discussion of the interconnected role of surveillance in contemporary domestic and media settings and its relation to current forms of power in surveillant assemblages.
Abstracting Injustice

In this paper, we explore how the neorepublican concepts of domination and antipower can contribute to the surveillance studies literature and a more democratic and participatory approach to technology development and deployment within the criminal justice system. We frame the neorepublican approach as an alternative to the predominant liberal paradigm, arguing that normative surveillance studies scholarship should emphasize the dominating potential of surveillance practices rather than merely trying to limit actual interference in peoples’ lives. To illustrate, we focus on the use of surveillance technologies that capture images of individuals within the US criminal justice system for recognition and/or identification. Facial or other biometric recognition technologies (FRTs) are increasingly built on artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms (“AI”). Often seen as a faster, more accurate, and less labor-intensive alternatives to human cognition, AI-powered biometric and facial recognition and other image capture technologies have become widely used within public law enforcement agencies around the world. The deployment of these technologies within the US criminal justice system has produced significant forms of injustice, including faulty identification and the subsequent arrest, detention, and incarceration of innocent individuals. These forms of data injustice are often opaque, hidden behind secretive law enforcement practices or commercial secrecy agreements. We draw from neorepublican conceptions of domination and antipower to frame this legal and technological opacity as an abstraction of injustice. We argue that handing important criminal justice decision-making over to code and algorithms designed, owned, and maintained by private interests exacerbates the potential for the public deployment of unjust systems that subject individuals and communities to unwarranted, arbitrary, and uncontrolled state power. Such government interference represents clear forms of data injustice and domination.
Understanding Attitudes Toward Police Surveillance: The Role of Authoritarianism, Fear of Crime, and Private-Sector Surveillance Attitudes
Authors: Conrey Camille , Haney Craig
Published: December 2024

Public attitudes toward domestic police surveillance have important implications for its political salience and regulation. An increasing number of jurisdictions have sought to regulate law enforcement surveillance, in part due to growing concerns over issues related to privacy, civil liberties, and the potential for bias (Beyea and Kebde 2021; Chivukula and Takemoto 2021; Smyth 2021). This study explores what factors help to predict and shape public attitudes toward police surveillance. Two groups of participants (n = 131 and n = 299) completed measures of authoritarianism, fear of crime, consumer surveillance technology use, and attitudes toward private-sector surveillance (such as surveillance by private companies, employers, or citizens) and police surveillance. Demographic factors (age, race/ethnicity, education level, gender, and political leaning) were also examined. Of these factors, legal authoritarianism, level of interaction with surveillance-related consumer technology, and attitudes toward private-sector surveillance were positively associated with the acceptance of police surveillance.
Synthetic Data: From Data Scarcity to Data Pollution
Authors: Wiehn Tanja
Published: December 2024

The increasing development and adaptation of synthetic data raises critical concerns about the perpetuation of datafication logics. In examining some of synthetic data’s core promises, this dialogue paper aims to uncover the potential harm of further de-politicizing synthetic data. With synthetic data, technological opportunities are introduced that promise to resolve a growing demand for data needed to train AI models. Furthermore, models trained on synthetic data are praised as more precise and effective while bring cheaper than collected data (Zewe 2022). With this dialogue paper, I aim to nuance the ways in which synthetic data complicate a critique directed at AI-driven technologies. I build my argument on two elements fundamental to the debate on the promises and perils of synthetic data. The first is the notion of data scarcity—often leveraged to argue for the implementation and further development of synthetic data to train bespoke models. Second, I discuss the concerns of data pollution and contamination with synthetic data. Through these entry points, I argue that synthetic data re-ignites issues previously raised by scholars in the field of critical data and surveillance studies. Therefore, the aim of this dialogue paper is to call for a critical understanding of synthetic data as living information, much like collected data, and to account for synthetic data and the conditions of its generation in the context of simulated environments.

Objective: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between BMI changes post-renal transplantation and clinical outcomes, including changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, and graft rejection.
Methods: A total of 629 adult kidney transplant recipients were analyzed between January 2016 and January 2024 at King Abdulaziz Medical City under the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. Baseline demographics, BMI measurements (recorded at baseline and 1-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month post-trans plant, and clinical outcomes (patient survival, graft survival, and complications) were collected through a comprehensive chart review.
Results: Significant weight gain was observed (median BMI increase: 26.1-28.7 kg/m², p < 0.001), particularly in patients with baseline BMI < 30 (p-value < 0.001). Weight changes did not significantly impact graft rejection or mortality. However, weight loss was associated with improved glycemic control overall (p-value = 0.020) and in people with diabetes (p-value = 0.011). Systolic blood pressure decreased post-transplant (p-value < 0.05), with a more significant reduction in the BMI < 30 group (p-value = 0.023).
Conclusion: There was a tendency toward weight gain after kidney transplantation, especially in patients with lower baseline BMI. At 24 months following transplantation, patients with less than 30 BMI had a more significant reduction in systolic blood pressure compared to people with higher BMI. Worsening glycemic control was noticed regardless of BMI change.

While Dr Roland Staples (FAU Nuremberg) raised the fundamental question at the preconference seminar of this year's DKVF as to whether the initiators of the innovation fund were using the wrong definition of the term innovation, Prof. Dr Holger Pfaff (IMVF Cologne) and Prof. Dr Jochen Schmitt (ZEGV Dresden) presented their findings. Dr Jochen Schmitt (ZEGV Dresden) presented a proposal for a new evidence-based approach in healthcare policy in the 'State of the Art' session by explaining how to move from 'theoretically best to practically best evidence'.

As part of the early benefit assessment, the added benefit of new medicinal products protected by documentation is assessed in comparison to the appropriate comparator therapy (ACT). At the request of the pharmaceutical company (MAH), the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) discusses the documents to be submitted and the ACT. The G-BA can adjust the zVT determined in the course of a consultation over time. This can also be done after the start of a benefit assessment. In this paper, examples are presented that show how the change of the zVT in the ongoing benefit assessment procedure can lead to a usable randomised controlled trial (RCT) not being considered by the G-BA, which in turn leads to an unproven added benefit. Results: In this analysis, four practical cases were presented in which the manufacturer was confronted with the situation of an unsuitable study comparator due to a zVT amendment in the ongoing benefit assessment procedure. For example, drugs for the treatment of head and neck tumours, multiple sclerosis or chronic rhinosinusitis were denied the additional benefit initially determined by the Institute for Efficiency and Quality in Health Care (IQWiG) in the procedure in the final G-BA decision due to short-term changes to the zVT.
Ein „Outcome driven Care”-Modell für Deutschland?

Siemens Betriebskrankenkasse, the largest company health insurance fund in Germany with more than one million people insured with it, has not only dedicated itself for two decades to the task of constantly developing the fund with the help of surveys of insured persons, but has also been analysing benchmarks in neighbouring European countries for several years in order to learn how they manage and improve their healthcare systems from the patient's perspective - with the help of PREMs and PROMs. We began by looking at the UK, followed by Denmark and, most recently, the Netherlands. The topic of the latest SBK online workshop was: 'Who actually asks the patients? - More quality with the Dutch model'.
