Published: December 2024

Sustainable global development calls for a circular economy society with green skills. Farmers and related stakeholders play a crucial role in moving towards a society based on a circular economy, and in line with this position the study focuses on green skills for farmers and related stakeholders managing rural change within the framework of a circular economy society. The aim is to investigate the green skills necessary for Lithuanian farmers and related stakeholders to successfully implement circular economy principles within the agricultural sector. Empirical survey background was formatted from literature review, the data for the empirical survey was collected using a questionnaire survey of Lithuanian farmers and related stakeholders and focus group with Vytautas Magnus University Faculty of Bioeconomy Development academic community and student discussions. The data were collated, synthesised and modelled in order to identify the green skills needed for farmers and related stakeholders to implement the principles of the circular economy in rural society and to be active circular economy society members. The findings explored the significance of developing cognitive, technological, social, and action green skills for farmers and related stakeholders through a whole institution approach (WIA). The links between green skills move in a circle: when cognitive green skills change, technological, social and action green skills change also. The pinnacle of circular economy society green skills lies in action prowess, empowering farmers to not only use, but also to innovate green technologies.

Latent fingerprint identification is an important aspect in forensic science that helps in revealing criminals. Latent fingerprint visualization methods continue to develop to improve their effectiveness and safety. This study aims to synthesize and map ZnO nanoparticles using celery leaf extract (Apium graveolens L.) and test its effectiveness in latent fingerprint identification. Celery leaf extract is used as a reducing agent and stabilizer in the biosynthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. Characterization of ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using FTIR and SEM-EDS. The characterization results showed that ZnO nanoparticles have a good crystal structure and uniform particle size. Application testing on porous and non-porous surfaces showed that ZnO nanoparticles were able to significantly increase the visibility of latent fingerprints compared to conventional methods. On non-porous surfaces, fingerprint visualization showed clearer results compared to porous surfaces. Thus, this study provides an environmentally friendly and effective solution for latent fingerprint identification in forensic applications, as well as expanding the potential use of natural materials in nanoparticle biosynthesis

“Wening”: Towards a Contemplation of Javanese Women’s Self-Identity in The Painting of Dyan Anggraini Rais through an Art Criticism Approach
Authors: Handayani Ayu Puji , Marianto Martinus Dwi
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the artwork of Indonesian Woman Artist Dyan Anggraini Rais in The International Art Exhibition Dewantara Triennale 2023 #2 “Social Engagement & Sustainability at Jogja Gallery entitled “wening” as a medium for contemplation of the form of representation of Javanese Women’s self-identity through the Art Criticism approach as a form of appreciation and evaluation of the artwork through reading the interpretation of the visual semiotic code on the artwork. It is found that the Contemplation of Javanese Women’s Self Identity in Wening painting represents the character of Javanese Women’s identity which is seen as a meek figure, good character, nrima, manut, not messing around, but also firm and principled. This is visualized in the symbolization of the meaning of Dewi Sekartaji’s mask. These values have also been exemplified by Kartini’s struggle through women’s emancipation to demand justice for women through the realm of the public sector, especially in the field of education. These noble values should remain inherent and become a living representation for women in contemporary times, where at this time it is very possible for women’s accessibility to be able to enter the public sector to express themselves and build their identity through the various potentials that exist in women to continue to develop and be appreciated. The artwork “Wening” by Dyan Anggraini Rais is a form of self-reflection needed by each individual in this era, especially women, to get to know themselves better and realize the social construction that has shaped them so far. Artikel ini membahas karya seni lukis Perupa Perempuan Indonesia Dyan Anggraini Rais dalam Pameran Seni Rupa Internasional Dewantara Triennale 2023 #2 “Social Engangement & Sustainability di Jogja Gallery yang berjudul “wening” sebagai media perenungan bentuk representasi identitas diri Perempuan Jawa dengan menggunakan pendekatan Kritik Seni (Art Criticism) sebagai bentuk apresiasi dan evaluasi terhadap karya seni tersebut dengan cara membaca pemaknaan terhadap kode semiotika visual pada karya seni lukis tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kontemplasi Identitas Diri Perempuan Jawa dalam lukisan Wening merepresentasikan karakter jati diri perempuan Jawa yang dipandang sebagai sosok yang lemah lembut, berbudi pekerti luhur, nrima, manut, tidak main-main, namun juga tegas dan berprinsip. Hal ini divisualisasikan dalam simbolisasi makna topeng Dewi Sekartaji. Nilai-nilai tersebut juga telah dicontohkan oleh perjuangan Kartini melalui emansipasi wanita untuk menuntut keadilan bagi kaum perempuan melalui ranah sektor publik, khususnya di bidang pendidikan. Karya seni “Wening” karya Dyan Anggraini Rais merupakan salah satu bentuk refleksi diri yang dibutuhkan oleh setiap individu di era ini, khususnya perempuan, untuk lebih mengenal dirinya sendiri dan menyadari konstruksi sosial yang telah membentuk dirinya selama ini.

Applying environmentally friendly technology in melon cultivation aims to create sustainable agriculture. Nutrient and plant growth regulators management are simple to apply and have a relatively rapid effect on melon fruit production. Water footprint assessment in melon cultivation is crucial for ensuring sustainable agricultural practices and efficient water use. This study aimed to evaluate the electroconductivity of nutrient solutions and GA3 concentration in increasing fruit production and water footprint efficiency. This research was conducted from June to September 2022 at Tefa SGH Polije. This research used a completely randomized design with treatments that consisted of nine combinations of nutrient solution electrical conductivities (2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 mS cm-1) and GA3 concentrations (0, 60, and 120 mg L-1). Observation variables were fruit diameter, edible part thickness, fruit sweetness level, fruit weight, and water footprint. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT. Applying 2.8 mS cm-1 nutrient solution (NS) + 60 mg L-1 GA3 was the best treatment according to fruit diameter, edible part thickness, and fruit sweetness level. Although statistically, it had no significant effect, 2.8 mS cm-1 NS + 60 mg L-1 GA3 increased fruit weight by 18.75% and water footprint efficiency by 15.48% compared to control.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To evaluate the application of anodic oxidation (AO) for the degradation of paracetamol and propranolol, in aqueous solution and synthetic effluent.
 
Theoretical Framework: Pharmaceuticals are persistent contaminants, requiring more complex technologies for their complete degradation, such as advanced electrochemical oxidative processes.
 
Method: The following electrodes were tested: graphite and copper; and electrolytes: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, odium sulfate and ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and the following variables were evaluated: distance between the electrodes, depth in the solution and voltage. In addition to the degradation kinetics and toxicity tests with lettuce (Lactuca Sativa), carrot (Daucus carota) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seeds.
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained for the aqueous solution of the drugs were satisfactory in graphite-copper systems with NaCl and KCl, with complete degradation for paracetamol after 75 min. While for propranolol, degradations of 81.28% (NaCl/214 nm) and 72.97% (KCl/214 nm) and 85.92% (NaCl/288 nm) and 81.95% (KCl/288 nm) were identified after 150 min. In the synthetic effluent, a small reduction in degradation was observed, being 84.53% for paracetamol and 62.95% (214 nm)/52.78% (288 nm) for propranolol. Toxic effect was observed for all evaluated seeds.
 
Research Implications: This research shows that even the simplest EAOPs, such as AO, are efficient and applicable in degrading pharmaceutical contaminants efficiently.
 
Originality/Value: This study reiterates the efficiency of AO in degrading two different pharmaceutical contaminants, and the maintenance of this efficiency, even when increasing the complexity of the matrix studied.

Authors: Ingelmo Raquel María Guevara , Alonso Fernando Gónzalez , Litago José David Urchaga , Moro Esther Sánchez
Published: December 2024

Objective: to investigate from the perspective of parents, the benefits derived from the methodological changes used by schools used to respond to the confinement situation.
 
Theoretical framework: the interruption of school classes during the lockdown caused by COVID-19, led us to improvise a new online methodology considered as “emergency remote teaching” (Hodges et al., 2020). With the intention of ensuring continuity and not interrupting the educational process (Muñoz-Moreno & Lluch-Molins, 2020), learning went from the classroom to the home with the accompaniment of families, to what has recently been called "home base learning" (Zainuddin et al., 2020).
 
Method: Through the survey technique and using an ad hoc questionnaire as an instrument, information was collected from a total of 1390 parents with school-age children.
 
Results: the families valued some benefits obtained from the methodological change that the confinement entailed.
Discussion: the study contributes to the knowledge of the benefits that could derive from the changes at a methodological level, raised from the perspective of turning a situation of adversity such as that experienced with the pandemic of 2020, into a learning opportunity for all.
Measuring The Level of Social Conflicts in Local Governance: Methodological Aspects and Application For United Communities
Authors: Stadniichuk Roman , Garafonova Olga , Stasovska Galyna , Gliebova Nataliia
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop and apply a Social Conflict Index (SCI) to assess the level of social tension within United Territorial Communities (UTCs) in Ukraine. The index aims to provide a reliable measure for identifying and addressing social instability, supporting strategic planning and preventive management.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in theories of social cohesion and conflict, integrating social, economic, and institutional indicators to define the categories influencing stability and cohesion within communities. It draws from frameworks on decentralization and public administration to address the unique challenges of local governance in Ukraine.
 
Method: A weighted-average approach was applied to evaluate the significance of various indicators, including social tension, economic factors, and institutional metrics. Each indicator was assigned a weight based on its relative importance in assessing social conflict. Data was collected through surveys, statistical analysis, and reviews of public petitions and complaints. The SCI was calculated using a standardized formula, allowing for the classification of conflict levels from low to critical.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings demonstrate that the SCI is an effective tool for quantitatively assessing social tension in UTCs. The index identifies problematic areas, enabling local authorities to determine vulnerable groups and design targeted tension-reduction programs. The SCI scale provides a clear framework for classifying conflict levels, from low to critical, with implications for strategic planning. The study highlights the index’s adaptability for use in monitoring changes in social conflict, particularly under decentralization, and its potential for integration into digital platforms for real-time tracking.
 
Research Implications: The SCI offers a practical tool for local authorities to enhance governance efficiency, supporting adaptive management strategies in the context of decentralization. The methodology is particularly valuable for addressing social inequality and economic challenges in larger communities. Future research could explore regional adaptations of the SCI, the development of digital monitoring platforms, and the modeling of preventive management strategies to enhance social stability.
 
Originality/Value: This study advances local governance by presenting an innovative methodology for measuring social conflict tailored to the socio-political landscape of Ukraine. The SCI’s comprehensive framework integrates multiple indicators into a single measure, providing actionable insights for local governments. Its application contributes to the development of systematic approaches to social conflict management, aligning with the broader goals of decentralization and community stability.

Charge as A Discursive Practice of Sustainability
Authors: Souza Vaneide Gomes de , Souza Mariluce Paes de
Published: December 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the discourse on sustainability in the textual genre of cartoons.
 
Theoretical framework: The study is based on the concepts of discursive formation of Pêcheux (1997), Foucault (1997) and Fernandes (2005), where three cartoons selected from the electronic media were analyzed, whose discussion involves aspects related to the theme of sustainability, characterizing its political and aesthetic constituent elements, demarcating and analyzing the ideological and persuasive conditions of the cartoon in its communicative aspect in the most diverse social environments.
 
Method: This is qualitative research, carried out through bibliographical review and subsequent discourse analysis.
 
Results and discussion: In the cartoons analyzed, political, social and economic discursive practices were observed producing the senses of subjectivity. The news presented was broadcast on the internet, intensifying events related to sustainability in the electronic media, through cartoons.
 
Implications of the research: Reading the news allows the reader to infer what the cartoon says, since he/she already has prior knowledge and/or is aware of the current situation in the social context.
 
Originality/value: Cartoons have been used by experts as a textual genre full of implicit discourses that integrate a set of basic and specific knowledge for their understanding. Reading the cartoon has the function of awakening in the reader a critical view within his/her own experienced social context, and also develops the reader's reflective and critical capacity on social themes addressed in everyday life, such as sustainability.
Julien Green – amerykański Brytyjczyk z Paryża: tożsamość transkulturowa?
Authors: Rybicka Dorota
Published: December 2024

Julien Green was an American with insular roots, born in Paris, where he spent most of his life.Throughout his life, he experienced a sense of alienation, which could be attributed to the clash within his personality of elements stemming from various national cultures. Julien Green did not develop the new rationality proposed by transculturalism, which would allow for the integration of elements from different cultural systems into a unified whole. A closer examination of the differences between Green’s works written in or set in the United States and those written in or set in France reveals that his American heritage manifested as faith based on direct experience, his French heritage as a need for rational answers, his British heritage as an ironic sense of humor, and his Irish-Scottish heritage as a sensitivity to mystery. These elements cannot be synthesized into a new whole, yet the place Green found for them in his life suggests that this inability to integrate them was not the cause of his alienation.

« Français par la forme, Polonais quant à la pensée ». Les idées théâtrales de Christien Ostrowski et leurs réalisations
Authors: Chomiszczak Tomasz
Published: December 2024

L’objet de cet article est l’idée littéraire, surtout théâtrale, de Christien Ostrowski, né Krystyn Piotr Celestyn Józef Ostrowski le 19 mai 1811 à Ujazd et mort le 4 juillet 1882 à Lausanne. Cet homme de lettres, journaliste et politicien polonais, émigré en Europe Occidentale après l’échec de l’insurrection varsovienne de novembre 1830, après son service militaire dans l’armée belge de 1832 à 1836 et de retour en France, a publié à Paris de nombreux articles pour soutenir la cause polonaise. Pourtant, il était également – et surtout – connu pour son œuvre littéraire, comprenant de la poésie et des pièces de théâtre, ainsi que pour son travail comme traducteur (il a traduit en français des œuvres de Mickiewicz, et en polonais quelques pièces de Shakespeare) et comme propagateur de la culture polonaise (fondateur de la Société du musée national polonais de Rapperswil, auteur du livre guide 'La Pologne historique, littéraire, monumentale et pittoresque'). Après avoir présenté le profil de l’écrivain, l’auteur de cet article se concentre sur les sujets et conceptions littéraires, et surtout dramaturgiques, d’Ostrowski, proposant une approche textuelle de ses drames, en majorité construits selon la forme classique de la tragédie; il s’agit surtout d’une « trilogie guerrière » 'Jean III Sobieski' suivie d’une pièce historique 'Edvige de Pologne ou les Jaghellons' – toutes deux évoquant les temps anciens de la Pologne, mais aussi précédées de préfaces polémiques intéressantes par Christien Ostrowski.

Malaquais, la floraison du temps
Authors: Nakach Geneviève
Published: December 2024

Malaquais (1908–1998) occupe une place originale dans l’esthétique du roman parlant en France. Au lieu de chercher la simplicité pour rendre compte de la réalité sociale qu’il connaît, il va s’emparer de la langue dans toute sa richesse, allant jusqu’à la raffiner, jusqu’à pratiquer une forme de préciosité à fleur de peau. La construction de ses romans, la segmentation d’une narration qui joue et se joue de tous les registres expriment sa conception internationaliste du monde dans une langue lyrique qui donne autant à sentir qu’à voir, reflète la révolte, traduit les émotions jusqu’à l’incohérence. À l’instar d’un Montaigne qui cherchait par son style à approcher le plus possible la complexité de son temps, Malaquais va réécrire ses œuvres dans les années 1980, poursuivant son exigence d’une écriture constamment en mouvement qui suive la marche du monde.

Background: Remission of asthma can occur as part of the natural history of the disease; however, the use of biologics can result in disease remission in some patients. Objective: In this post hoc analysis of the RELIght study, we aimed to evaluate clinical
remission in real life among patients treated with mepolizumab, to detect possible differences between “remitters” and “nonremitters,” and to evaluate possible predictors of remission. Methods: Clinical remission was defined as the absence of asthma
exacerbations, discontinuation of oral corticosteroids (OCS), achievement of asthma control (Asthma Control Test [ACT] ≥ 20), and stable or improved lung function. Results: A total of 146 patients were evaluated; remission was achieved in 40 (27.4%) and 29 (22%) after
12 and 24 months, respectively. At 12 months, the patients in remission had a better baseline ACT score (17.0 [14.0‐19.0] versus 15.0 [12.0‐17.0]; p = 0.027), were more rarely using OCS (35% versus 62.2%; p = 0.004), and required a lower baseline dose
of OCS (5.0 mg/day [5.0‐10.0 mg/day] versus 10.0 mg/day [5.0‐15.0 mg/day]; p = 0.042) at baseline, whereas, at 24 months, they less frequently carried a baseline diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (10.3% versus 32%; p = 0.031) and
used lower doses of OCS at baseline (5.0 [1.0‐5.0] versus 10.0 [5.0‐15.0]; p = ≤0.001) versus nonremitters; 52.5% of patients had sustained remission, whereas 42.5% experienced relapse. These patients more frequently had GERD versus patients with sustained remission (52.9%
versus 4.8%; p = 0.002). Finally, regression analysis has shown that GERD was the only predictor of relapse. Conclusion: Remitters had better asthma control and needed lower doses or no maintenance OCS at baseline, whereas GERD seems to be an important factor
that affects remission and relapse.Clinical trial NCT04084613, www.clinical trials.gov
Idiopathic non-mast cell angioedema: Treatment insights from global experts
Authors: Christiansen Sandra C. , Zuraw Bruce L. , for the 2023 International HAEA/HAEi Symposiu
Published: December 2024

Background: Idiopathic non‐mast cell angioedema (INMA) is a rare disease typified by recurrent attacks of cutaneous and subcutaneous swelling. Every attack carries the potential for severe morbidity and, in the case of laryngeal involvement, mortality. Whereas therapies
approved for hereditary angioedema (HAE) have been used in the care of patients with INMA, little is known with regard to their efficacy for the treatment of this disease. Objective: The objective was to gather evidence from global experts, ranking their assessment of on-demand
therapy (ODT) and long-term prophylactic (LTP) treatment efficacy for INMA. Methods: A survey was developed and distributed to international experts invited to attend a 2023 symposium. INMA was diagnosed by standardized criteria. Linkert scales were used to rate the efficacy
for ODT and LTP therapy. Enrollment was closed after 1 month and the data were analyzed. Results: Surveys were distributed to 31 experts from 16 countries with a 77% response rate (n = 24) reporting on 300 patients with INMA. Efficacy rankings of ODT were the following:
icatibant (14 experts with 93 treated patients), 46.2% high and 38.7% moderate; and plasma-derived C1 inhibitor (C1INH) (13 experts with 31 treated patients), 32.3% moderate and 45.2% mild. Efficacy rankings of LTP were the following: antifibrinolytics (11 experts with 52 treated patients),
23.1% high and 38.5% moderate; lanadelumab (5 experts with 19 treated patients), 21% high and 79% moderate; and subcutaneous C1INH (3 experts with 19 treated patients), 21.1% moderate and 79.0% mild. LTP efficacy was also recorded for berotralstat and progestin. Conclusion:
Icatibant (ODT) and either antifibrinolytics or lanadelumab (LTP) were ranked as the most efficacious treatments for the patients with INMA (among medications with at least five treated patients) by the expert physicians. Progestins, berotralstat, and plasma derived C1INH each demonstrated
a favorable prophylactic effect; however, broader experience will be required to formulate overall recommendations.

Published: December 2024

Angkutan umum merupakan alat transportasi yang digunakan oleh masyarakat secara bersama, untuk memindahkan masyarakat dari satu tempat ke tempat lainnya. Angkutan umum sendiri memiliki standar yang telah diatur oleh pemerintah untuk memastikan angkutan umum yang digunakan masyarakat lebih nyaman dan aman. Namun, terdapat fenomena pelanggaran standar kelayakan kendaraan oleh angkutan umum yang terjadi di Kota Bandung yang disebabkan oleh berbagai macam faktor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap hal apa saja yang mendorong fenomena ketidakpatuhan bisa terjadi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan menerapkan pendekatan fenomenologi transendental, untuk mendalami pengalaman yang dialami oleh partisipan. Untuk menganalisis data, hasil wawancara yang telah dilakukan diolah dengan mencari pernyataan signifikan dari setiap jawaban partisipan, lalu pernyataan tersebut diberi kode, dan dikelompokkan ke dalam tema-tema. Setelah dikelompokkan ke dalam tema-tema, setiap tema tersebut dijelaskan. Setiap tema yang sudah dijelaskan tersebut akan diberikan deskripsi tekstural dan deskripsi struktural untuk menjelaskan keterkaitan antar tema, kemudian dilakukan deskripsi komposit untuk menghubungkan deskripsi tekstural dan struktural, untuk menemukan esensi dari pengalaman partisipan pada fenomena yang diteliti. Dari hasil penelitian, fenomena ketidakpatuhan terhadap standar kelayakan ini muncul karena persaingan usaha angkot dengan transportasi online yang berdampak pada pemasukan pengusaha angkot, sehingga membuat penegakkan hukum maupun sosialisasi yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah menjadi tidak efektif. Akhirnya angkot yang beroperasi menjadi tidak aman dan sesuai standar.

This research aims to examine the implementation of rural electrification policies in Desa Semembang and Desa Sanglar, Kecamatan Durai, Karimun, as well as the influencing factors. The research employed a descriptive approach with a qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews and documentation. Research informants included the Head of the Electricity Sector, members of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of the Kepulauan Riau Province, the Secretary of UP3 Manager and UP2K Manager of PLN Tanjungpinang, Village Heads, Village Consultative Council (BPD) members, youth representatives, and community leaders in Desa Semembang. Data analysis was conducted in reference to the policy implementation theory by Van Meter and Van Horn. The research findings indicate that although electricity development in Desa Semembang and Desa Sanglar has been initiated, its implementation has not reached its maximum potential. This is attributed to various challenges, including: 1) a policy shift from acquiring new machines to machine relocation, 2) transportation challenges in the machine relocation areas, 3) a limited number of available operators for the operational area, 4) financial resource constraints due to budget refocusing during the COVID-19 pandemic, 5) communication misunderstandings between the Department and the villages, and a lack of political support from the Legislative bodies of the Province and District within the sub-district's electoral district.
Dimensi SERVQUAL Pada Kualitas Layanan Satpol PP Kota Dumai Dalam Penertiban ODGJ
Authors: Rusnita Widya Cancer , Persada Adlin
Published: December 2024

Dumai City is one of Indonesia’s strategic regions, characterized by complex social dynamics, including the management of people with mental disorders (ODGJ). This study aims to analyze the service quality of the Dumai City Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), motivated by the increasing number of ODGJ disrupting public order, particularly in strategic locations, and the challenges faced by Satpol PP in addressing these issues. This research employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques, including observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study utilizes the SERVQUAL approach, which encompasses five dimensions: reliability, responsiveness, tangibles, empathy, and assurance. The findings reveal that in terms of reliability, while Satpol PP has consistently responded to public reports following established procedures, the absence of standardized operational procedures (SOP) and specialized training presents significant challenges. Regarding responsiveness, the unit demonstrates commendable responsiveness; however, limited personnel and the absence of personal protective equipment (PPE) hinder operational efficiency. The tangibles dimension highlights that while operational facilities, such as vehicles, are adequate, supporting equipment like restraints and PPE remains highly limited. The empathy dimension shows that persuasive and humane approaches have been applied, although training related to empathy is insufficient. Finally, the assurance dimension indicates effective inter-agency coordination, albeit not optimal during non-working hours.The study recommends enhancing the quality of Satpol PP services in managing ODGJ through the development of clear SOPs, increased training programs, improved inter-agency collaboration, and better resource allocation. These improvements are expected to enable Satpol PP to handle ODGJ effectively, safely, and humanely, thereby increasing public trust in government institutions
El desarrollo cerebral de la responsabilidad penal juvenil: perspectivas emergentes sobre la maduración cognitiva y su repercusión en la capacidad de culpabilidad
Authors: Da Nóbrega Janna
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo subraya la apremiante necesidad de reconsiderar el modelo tradicional de responsabilidad penal de menores, el cual se basa en un criterio biológico-cronológico, proponiendo un paradigma alternativo que lo sustituye por una perspectiva mixta, en la que se incorpora la evaluación del grado de madurez cerebral. A través del uso de herramientas avanzadas de neuroimagen y algoritmos de aprendizaje automático y profundo, se busca obtener una medición más precisa de las capacidades cognitiva y volitiva de los menores infractores, considerando no solo su edad cronológica, sino también la variabilidad neurobiológica originada por factores tanto genéticos, como ambientales. Este enfoque permitiría una aplicación más personalizada del proceso decisional relativo a la sujeción a dicho sistema, adaptándolo a las características singulares de cada individuo. La publicación en cuestión inaugura un conjunto de estudios que explorará en detalle las implicaciones teóricas, jurídicas y éticas que conlleva la integración de los avances neurocientíficos en el ámbito de la responsabilidad penal juvenil.
