Legal Politics Of Criminal Responsibility In Reform Policy
Authors: Juita Subaidah Ratna , Junaidi Muhammad - , Supriyadi Supriyadi -
Published: March 2024

Law Number 1 of 1946 established the Criminal Code (KUHP), which was once a translation of Wetboek van Strafrecht and will remain in effect until the end of 2022 with all of its changes. The fundamental ideal that the entire Indonesian people strives for—liberation from all notions of colonialism—is carried out through the dialectical process of the Criminal Code in legislative actions for 60 (sixty) years. Therefore, the adoption of Law Number 1 of 2023 respecting the Criminal Code expresses the concepts of decolonization, recodification, democratization of criminal law, and adaptive harmonization. This study focuses on the legal politics of criminal responsibility from the standpoint of national criminal law reform. It seeks to address the following issues: (1) What is the legal politics of criminal responsibility in current positive criminal law?; and (2) What is the criminal responsibility law's political reform policy at the national level? This study compares criminal culpability under the old and new Criminal Codes using a comparative approach and a juridical-normative approach as its primary methodology. The primary focus of this study is secondary data, which encompasses both primary and secondary legal resources. Qualitative analysis techniques were used to analyze the data in the interim. The study's findings demonstrate that the fundamental tenet of criminal law reform—the principle of balance—is a fresh approach to the legal politics of criminal responsibility in the context of national criminal law reform. This approach is motivated by the Pancasila balance values, which are defined as Godly, Human, and Community values.

Published: March 2024

The goal of this research was to find a scientific explanation for the issue of women and teenagers being involved in violent theft crimes that have already started, as well as to find and construct theoretical justification based on current theories, including sources from books and research journals. This study employed a qualitative research design in conjunction with a literature review. According to the findings of research, women are viewed as potential home educators of their children and should be given recognition and equality, while teenagers are viewed as the country's future generation, potential leaders, and catalysts for community and national development. rather than feeling scared by his family or other societal members, he feels adequate in the social system of society. He thus isolates himself by creating an exclusive group, which prompts him to take illegal and/or violent acts, such as muggings and thefts, in violation of both community standards and the law.

Published: March 2024

The aim of the research is to describe apartment units associated with investment in the property sector for ownership of apartment units for foreign citizens in Indonesia by paying attention to land rights in Indonesia, so that there is no disharmony with positive law in Indonesia. The research method uses a normative juridical legal research type. The approaches used include the statutory approach, conceptual approach, analytical approach. An analytical approach is carried out by analyzing legal material to find out what is contained in the terms used in a legal regulation conceptually, as well as understanding the regulation in practice. The results of the research are that in the UUPA there are several types of land rights, namely: (1) Ownership rights; (2) Cultivation rights; (3) Building use rights; (4) Use rights; (5) Rental rights; (6) The right to open land; (7) The right to collect forest products; (8) Other rights which are not included in the rights mentioned above will be determined by law as well as temporary rights as stated in Article 53 of the UUPA. After the enactment of Law 11/2020, the regulation of ownership of condominium units for foreigners is specifically regulated in Part Four of Land Paragraph 3 Condominium Units for Foreigners, as intended in the provisions of Articles 143 to 145. In its development to implement Constitutional Court Decision Number 91/PUU-XVIIl2020, improvements need to be made by replacing Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation (Letter f, Considering section, Law Number 6 of 2023), as promulgated in Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Determination of Regulations The Government Substitutes Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation into Law (hereinafter referred to as Law 6/2023)
Quantum Non-separability, Consciousness, Negentropy and a New Concept of Gravity
Authors: Pletcher Arthur
Published: March 2024

This article proposes a novel analogy between the escalating polarization which occurs between rational agents, and the emergence of spacetime in quantum decoherence. The former occurs within a framework of reinforcement loops of recursive information exchange between agents, and translates through scales (local, regional, national and international) of polarization. The latter occurs on a neurological scale within the split consciousness of the single observer, and thus a particle evolution becomes determined, as the particle becomes entangled with the polarized state of the observer and the observer's local environment. THE PREMISE OF THIS ANALOGY IS MATHEMATICALLY SUPPORTED. A modified Stern Gerlach experimental is proposed as a proof. A radical concept of gravity is a corollary.

Published: March 2024

This article explores non-surgical treatment options for hemorrhoid symptoms caused by dysentery. The study aims to assess the possibility of fully recovering from dysentery induced hemorrhoid symptoms. Grade III and IV prolapsed hemorrhoids can potentially be managed through dietary changes, such as incorporating pomegranate and reducing the use of chemical medications. Patients should also avoid certain foods during treatment. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, including determining the optimal dosage and timing.
A Comparative Analysis of Advertising in the 2020 Presidential Elections & Phoenix Mayoral Elections using Natural Language Processing
Authors: Wang Jun
Published: March 2024

This language model examines advertisements used for political campaigns, specifically the 2023 Phoenix mayoral election. Political microtargeting looks at the tone of content throughout Instagram and Facebook ads during the 8 months leading up to the election. Through various processing techniques, both written and spoken language within ads was collected and used Facebook ad API, associated with a target demographic or group within the platform. This allows campaigns to send targeted messages to voters based on factors like location, media preference, associated political beliefs, age, and other critical variables.

This data was then compared to a peer-reviewed study by the University of Amsterdam, that studied Facebook and Instagram ads 8 months before the 2020 US Presidential election. Media companies often offer paid advertisements to a targeted audience, and during highly polarized world events such as an election, uncivil negative ads can be pushed to groups to which the shown ideology appeals. (Votta, F.)

The question posed by Votta in the comparative study was:

“TO WHAT EXTENT IS POLITICAL MICROTARGETING USED BY POLITICAL ADVERTISERS TO DELIVER TOXIC CAMPAIGN MESSAGES?”

To study whether this optimization was occurring, the advertisements were run through a multilevel ordinal regression(Votta [https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/CCR2023.1.001.VOTT] et al., 2023). They took ads from official political campaigns and compared them to third-party groups. They then analyzed the size of the desired audience and compared the size of the audience to the verbal tone of the listed advertisement.

Our results indicate that while traditional media remains an important part of electoral voting, show out, and postage signs and campaign events serve a purpose in reaching a wide, unrestricted audience, social media advertising presents a valuable resource in targeting specific groups of individuals who will be most susceptible to guided advertisement. Last, we analyze the implications of our findings in the 2020 Phoenix mayoral election, how city elections differ from a presidential election, and how micro-targeted advertisements might affect voter behavior.
Enhancement of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) Germination through Seed Priming Techniques
Authors: Balchhaudi Anil
Published: March 2024

The presence of a hard seed coat, coupled with various abiotic stresses during germination, can result in delayed and erratic crop establishment of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.). Seed priming offers an efficient and cost-effective method to improve the emergence of okra seeds. A laboratory experiment was conducted to assess the effect of various priming methods on germination parameters. The investigation was laid out in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with six levels of seed priming methods viz. priming with 200 ppm GA3 solution, priming with 80% H2SO4 solution, priming with 0.3% KNO3 solution, priming with 5% PEG-6000 solution, priming with tap water, and control (without priming). The experiment was replicated four times. The effect of various priming methods on physiological and biometric parameters, i.e., germination percentage, mean days to germination, seed vigor index, root length, and shoot length, was investigated. The research results revealed that seed priming methods significantly influenced all the recorded parameters. Priming with GA3 recorded a significantly higher germination percentage (73.75%), root length (114.5 mm), shoot length (85 mm), and seed vigor index (14719 mm). Furthermore, priming with GA3 took significantly fewer mean days to germinate, requiring a mere 5.42 days. Priming with H2SO4 was as effective as priming with GA3 in terms of germination percentage, mean days to germination, seed vigor index, root length, and shoot length. The study concluded that priming with GA3 and priming with H2SO4 can be an effective method to expedite seed germination, enhance germination percentage, and increase the seed vigour of okra. In the absence of GA3 and H2SO4, hydropriming can be a felicitous alternative to combat poor crop emergence in an eco-friendly and cost-effective manner.

This study aimed to determine the Effect of using stevia leaves as a natural sweetener on dried sweets of Padang Sidempuan's snake fruit. The method used in this study was the factorial Complete Randomized Design (CRD) method with two factors, namely the amount of stevia leaf powder (0,20%: 0,25%; 0,30%; 0,35%) and drying time (4, 6, 8 and 10 hours). The tests carried out were moisture content, ash content, total sugar, total dissolved solids, total microbes, acidity (pH), and organoleptic tests of colour, flavour, taste, and texture. This study's results showed a highly significant effect exerted by the amount of stevia leaf powder on moisture content, ash content, total dissolved solids, total sugar, total microbes, acidity (pH), and an organoleptic test of colour, flavour, and taste. Drying time significantly affected moisture content, ash content, total sugar, total microbes, total dissolved solids, and texture organoleptic test. The interaction between the amount of stevia leaf powder and the drying time had a highly significant effect on moisture content and a significantly different effect on total microbes and organoleptic colour. The amount of stevia leaf powder is 0,35%, and the drying time of 8 hours results in the best treatment on dried sweets of Padang Sidempuan's snake fruit.

Published: March 2024

Bananas are a type of climateric fruit that undergoes post-harvest ripening, so bananas are easily damaged and have a short shelf life. Kepok banana flour is one of the food diversification products that can increase add value of kepok bananas. The production of kepok banana flour produces brown flour, so the appearance of flour is less attractive. Research aimed to improve quality of kepok banana flour using citric acid. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments given were citric acid concentrations of 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, and 0.8%(w/v). The results obtained were whiteness index values of 75.07%-78.20%, water content of 3.05%-3.55%, reducing sugar of 0.03%-0.012%, color of 1.76-2.16, aroma of 2.00-2.80, and overalls of 2.68-2.92. Increase in the citric acid concentration may increase the reducing sugar, whiteness index, and water content kepok banana flour. The best treatment in the study was a concentration of 0.8% among others.

Published: March 2024

Biochar is widely used for water and soil remediation due to its local availability and low production costs. However, its effectiveness depends on the physicochemical properties related to the raw material and pyrolysis temperature, as well as the environmental conditions where it is used. Additionally, biochar is susceptible to natural aging caused by changes in soil or sediment moisture, which can alter its redox properties and interactions with contaminants such as arsenic. Therefore, we are interested in conducting fundamental research on raw materials from grass types and their influence on the growth and production of QPM corn plants. In this research, we carried out laboratory content tests and field experiments. The treatments were: p0 control, p1 = 3 tons ha-1 biochar, p2 = 6 tons ha-1 biochar, p3 = 9 tons ha-1, p4 = 12 tons ha-1, p5 = 15 tons ha-1. The experimental results showed that the administration of biochar made from Arundo Spp. 12 tons Ha-1 can increase the effective growth and production of corn plants

ШЛЯХИ МІНІМІЗАЦІЇ ВМІСТУ ПОЛІЦИКЛІЧНИХ АРОМАТИЧНИХ ВУГЛЕВОДОРОДІВ У КОПЧЕНИХ КОВБАСНИХ ВИРОБАХ

Published: March 2024

В результаті проведення досліджень було зроблено висновок щодо можливостей мінімізації вмісту ПАУ у варених ковбасах гарячого копчення димом, що утворюється від тління тріски. При цьому зниження вмісту ПАУ не обов’язково має бути пов’язане з низьким вмістом бажаних фенольних сполук, оскільки між вмістом ПАУ та фенолом взаємозв’язок не встановлений. Параметром, який найбільше впливає на зміст ПАУ, є Температура утворення диму. Вона має бути нижче 6000С. Однак, для отримання необхідного кольору копченого продукту потрібно триваліший час копчення, що може бути пов’язано з високими втратами маси продукту. Температура копчення повинна опускатися нижче 5000С, оскільки за таких умов колір і смак копченого продукту будуть слабкими виражені. Цілеспрямоване зволоження тріски не призводило до зниження вмісту ПАВ у м’ясопродуктах гарячого копчення, оскільки взаємозв’язок між вологістю тріски та вмістом ПАУ у продукті встановлена не була. Застосування целюлозної оболонки, що знімається, значно знижувало вміст ПАВ у м’ясопродуктах гарячого копчення, оскільки більша частина ПАУ (BaP: 77%; ПАУ4: 61%) залишалося в оболонці і не проникало у внутрішні шари м’ясного продукту. На відміну від цього фенольні сполуки, що мають велике значення для утворення бажаного аромату продукту, майже повністю (приблизно 99%) проникали у продукт. Порівняння сосисок «Віденські» у баранячих черевах та колагеновій оболонці показало, що сумарний вміст п’яти фенольних сполук у сосисках у баранячих черевах майже вдвічі вищий, у той час як вміст ПАУ при застосуванні обох типів оболонки знаходився майже на однаковому рівні. Зниження вмісту ПАУ можна досягти шляхом зменшення вмісту жиру в рецептурі варених ковбас гарячого копчення. Незважаючи на більш високі втрати маси у ковбас зі зниженим вмістом жиру вміст ПАУ в таких продуктах низький. Причиною цього явища може бути зменшення ліпофільних властивостей на поверхні м’ясопродуктів за рахунок зниження кількості шпику хребта в рецептурі. Однак цей ефект слабше виражений у сосисок, що коптили димом високої щільності, з високим вмістом ПАУ (ПАУ4>2,5 μг/кг). Для таких ковбас значне зниження вмісту ПАВ було встановлено при зменшенні вмісту жиру з 20% до 10%. У сосисок із вмістом жиру 20%, 30% та 39% вміст ПАУ знаходився на однаковому рівні. У сосисок «Віденські» з низьким та середнім вмістом ПАУ кількість ПАУ можна знизити шляхом зниження вмісту жиру з 30% до 20%. Однак нижчий вміст жиру в сосисках «Віденські» не призводило до зменшення вмісту фенолу, оскільки в цих продуктах з різним вмістом жиру було встановлено таку ж кількість фенольних сполук.
ВПЛИВ ЦИТРУСОВОГО ПЕКТИНУ НА ЯКІСТЬ БОРОШНЯНИХ КОНДИТЕРСЬКИХ ВИРОБІВ

Харчування – один з найважливіших факторів, що впливає на здоров'я. Раціональне та здорове харчування є важливою складовою здорового способу життя. Воно запобігає хворобам, продовжує життя і створює умови для належної адаптації людини до навколишнього середовища, яке має значущий вплив на здоров’я людей. Питання забруднення навколишнього середовища важкими металами було проблемою не одне десятиліття, а з початком повномасштабних військових дій на території нашої країни воно стало більш гострим. Під час вибуху і згоряння вибухових речовин і вибухових пристроїв утворюються азот, сажа, вуглеводні, діоксид свинцю, а також виділяється значна кількість газів. Крім того, під час бойових дій використовуються бойові машини з двигунами, що працюють переважно на дизельному паливі, при згорянні якого викидається значна кількість різних забруднюючих речовин. На основі аналізу забруднювачів довкілля під час бойових дій можна зробити висновок, що одними з найпоширеніших забруднювачів є сполуки свинцю, які потрапляють у навколишнє середовище в результаті стрільби з вогнепальної зброї та використання самохідних машин. Основний шлях, яким сполуки свинцю потрапляють в організм з навколишнього середовища – інгаляційний. Залежно від вмісту свинцю в повітрі, розміру і форми частинок в аерозолі та стану легеневої вентиляції, 35–60% від загальної кількості затримується в легенях і лише 5–10% потрапляє в організм через шлунково-кишковий тракт. З метою профілактики негативного впливу важких металів, що виділяються під час проведення бойових дій, на організм військовослужбовців пропонується здійснити удосконалення продуктів харчування. Удосконалення проводиться на прикладі борошняного кондитерського виробу «Галети». На основі аналізу літературних джерел, присвячених теоретичним та практичним підходам до удосконалення технології борошняних кондитерських виробів з метою надання детоксикуючих властивостей, встановлено, що актуальним є використання цитрусового пектину. Проаналізовано вплив пектину на якість готового виробу, встановлено зміну органолептичних показників. Описано вплив доданого компоненту на кислотність готового виробу та показники окисно-відновного потенціалу.

Застосування віртуалізації та контейнеризації в хмарі, створює рівень абстракції між апаратними ресурсами та програмними компонентами, спрощуючи управління ресурсами та підвищуючи їх ефективність. Усі ці фактори підкреслюють важливість впровадження додатків у хмарі, як фундаментальної стратегії сучасних організацій, що прагнуть зберегти конкурентоспроможність та адаптивність в умовах постійних змін та зростаючих вимог інформаційного ринку. Метою роботи є дослідження методів та реалізація технологій для розгортання програм у контейнері. Об'єктом дослідження є процес реалізації системи розгортання програм у контейнері із використанням Google Kubernetes Engine, Terraform та Tekton. Предметом дослідження є моделі, методи та засоби реалізації системи розгортання програм у контейнері. Виходячи з того, що контейнери є самодостатніми віртуальними середовищами, які містять додатки та їх залежності, маємо можливість ефективно створювати, розгортати і керувати контейнерами для різних хмарних додатків і сервісів, забезпечуючи гнучкість та оптимальне використання ресурсів. Цей підхід сприяє швидкому масштабуванню додатків і забезпечує їх єдність у різних середовищах хмарного обчислення. Само розгортання застосунків, пов’язане з використанням інтерфейсів і стандартів взаємодії між частинами системи, розташованими в хмарі, що потребує підтримки обміну даними та ресурсами через мережу, використовуючи методи балансування та віртуалізації. Тому важливим є створення модульних та незалежних компонентів, які є масштабованими і розгортаються окремо. Також, балансування завантаження є методом, що використовується в інформаційних системах та комп'ютерних мережах з метою розподілу запитів, завдань та трафіку між різними серверами або ресурсами для досягнення найкращої продуктивності, надійності та доступності системи. А віртуалізація є технологією, яка дозволяє створювати віртуальні версії обчислювальних, мережевих, та інших ресурсів, забезпечуючи абстракцію між апаратними ресурсами та програмними засобами або сервісами, які їх використовують.

Thinking about representations of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting is an exciting project in the contemporary context. Positioned in an era when traditional and historical constraints on representations of these life events have been unsettled, we find ourselves facing a shifting landscape. We are, furthermore, also confronted by evolving economies of cultural production and consumption; not only are we encountering new images, but we are continuing to witness changes in the systems of generation and circulation by which they are produced and consumed.
Echoes of Terror(ism): The mutability and contradictions of countering-violent extremism in Québec
Authors: Millett Kris , Ahmad Fahad
Published: March 2024

Our paper examines the latest frontier of the “War on Terror,” countering violent extremism (CVE), non-coercive approaches that aim to prevent “radicalization” that may lead to “violent extremism” or terrorism. We look at the recent implementation of CVE in Québec’s education sector. Based on an analysis of key policy documents and interviews with CVE practitioners, we find that: (1) teachers are responsibilized to safeguard society from the risk of terrorism through being expected to “know the signs” of radicalization and to build “resilience,” (2) students are responsibilized as agents who can influence their peers against violent extremist messaging and toward “prosocial” behaviour, and (3) elements of school curriculum are responsibilized, especially social studies education, to provide students with “critical thinking” skills thought to be lacking among those at risk of radicalization. We highlight the inherent contradictions in CVE, which, in Québec, claims to foster pluralism and inclusivity to combat Islamophobia, but as a modality of the “War on Terror” also targets and stigmatizes Muslim communities. Critical discussion of CVE’s social implications are needed to initiate critical dialogue in Canada over the impact of CVE in social services provision and the risk of securitizing the education sector in Québec.
World of statues: the “war on terror,” memorialisation, and colonial violence
Authors: Ahmad Fahad , Monaghan Jeffrey

As the “war on terror” expands to new frontiers, we reflect on how it is memorialised through statues and monuments that serve to erase the imperialist and racialised violence it has embodied (and continues to embody). We write this essay as the government of Canada is developing plans to build a new memorial in its capital city, Ottawa, to commemorate its protracted and costly participation – as “empire’s ally” – in a U.S.-led militaristic campaign in Afghanistan in the name of combatting “terrorism” (Albo and Klassen 2012; Brewster 2021). Canada withdrew its troops from Afghanistan a decade ago and the U.S. government plans to withdraw its troops by September 2021 (Ryan and DeYoung 2021). While the Americans have been forced from Afghanistan mere weeks before the withdrawal that was to mark an end to the 20-year military campaign against terrorism and, with what appears to be a long period of instability ahead, the current moment can be considered within the ongoing mutation of the “war on terror” from a war (in Muslim countries) overseas to a war (against “dangerous” Muslims) everywhere.
Community philanthropy as practice: A case study of Thousand Currents
Authors: Ahmad Fahad , Khadse Ashlesha
Published: March 2024

As philanthropy has emerged to play a prominent role in supporting community well-being efforts, important critiques have been raised about the undemocratic nature of philanthropy that appears to privilege private interests over community needs. In response to these concerns, Community Philanthropy (CP) has emerged as a philanthropic model that prioritizes community asset-building, agency, and trust in order to “shift power” to beneficiary communities. Despite its promise, questions remain about how CP can practically achieve the goals of sharing power, building trust, and showing solidarity toward community self-determination for well-being. To address these gaps, we examine the case of Thousand Currents, a public foundation that has pioneered a CP inspired grantmaking model. Thousand Currents provides long-term unrestricted grants to grassroots partners (grantees), learns about partner concerns, acts upon partner feedback, and is self-reflexive about its positional power as a funder. The foundation achieves its grantmaking objectives by taking deliberate fundraising and staffing decisions. Our case study showcases how other foundations can take steps towards actualizing CP.

This study focuses on the dynamic changes of pika and rabbit populations in Sanjiangyuan National Park and its impact on grassland degradation. The Sanjiangyuan region, as an important part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has a unique ecosystem and rich biodiversity. As a key species in the area, the pika's activities play an important role in loosening the grassland soil and retaining moisture. However, due to the dual impact of climate change and human activities, the excessive growth of the pika population has led to the severe degradation of the grassland ecosystem and the formation of “black soil beaches”, which not only destroys the natural recovery ability of the grassland but also affects the livelihood of local herders had a negative impact. In the context of global sustainable development, this study proposes a series of scientific and reasonable management measures, including the implementation of dynamic rotational grazing, returning grazing to grassland, forage planting, and green prevention and control of pikas, etc., to achieve the goal of realizing cattle, sheep, and pasture and ecological coordination among pikas. At the same time, the study emphasizes the in-depth understanding of the role of pikas in the ecosystem and their relationship with grassland degradation through scientific research, providing a scientific basis for formulating effective ecological protection and restoration strategies. In addition, the study also puts forward suggestions for establishing a sound legal and regulatory system, strengthening protected area management institutions, and promoting public participation, publicity, and education. These measures aim to ensure that ecological protection work in Sanjiangyuan National Park is effectively implemented and to promote the sustainable development of local communities. The case of Sanjiangyuan National Park has important reference significance at the global level, demonstrating how to achieve a balance between economic development and environmental protection through ecological protection and restoration work. This has a guiding role for other regions around the world facing similar ecological problems and will help promote the implementation of the global sustainable development agenda. In short, the ecological protection and management of Sanjiangyuan National Park requires the joint efforts of the government, scientific research institutions, local communities, and the international community to achieve long-term ecological security and sustainable development.

Renewable energy has been the alternative source to global energy scarcity which involves renewable resources as more emphasis been put to prospective ways of converting agricultural wastes into energy to meet both the local and global demands.This work analyzed the use of sugarcane bagasse as substrate in biogas production as well as its codigestion with cow dung and chicken droppings. Seven digesters each of 2.5 litres capacity were charged in a ratio of 1:3 solids to liquid for a retention period of 30 days within a temperature range of 25-32 oC was used. Digester A contained 100 % bagasse, B contained 100 % cow dung, C 100 % chicken droppings, D contained 50 % bagasse and 50 % cow dung, E contained 50 % bagasse and 50 % chicken droppings, F contained 70 % bagasse and 30% cow dung and 70 % bagasse and 30 % chicken droppings for digester, G. Proximate and microbial analysis of the spent slurry were carried out. The result shows that sample C has the highest volatile solids and protein content of 56.68 % and 10.01 %. Biogas production was observed to be higher in digester C with cumulative gas yield of 3228.3 cm3 then digester B with 2816.6 cm3 and Digester A had the least gas yield of 681.4 cm3. Lightening test was observed by passage over limewater which result in catching fire except on digester C. Methane and other traces of gases test using gas analyzer shows 61.3 % methane with the least having 46.7 % methane on digester B and C. Pseudomonas spp, Entrobacter aerogenes and Staphylococcus aureus were found to be dominant in almost all the digesters. Further research is required to investigate large volume production and to improve gas storage techniques.

Resistivity methods have been increasingly used for aquifer characterisation due to their high level of effectiveness.  In this study, electrical resistivity survey was carried out at the Proposed Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Teaching Hospital Lapai Niger State Nigeria in order to study the groundwater potential with a view of determining the depth to the bedrock and thickness of the overburden protective capacity. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using Schlumberger array was used to occupy thirty (30) VES stations using ABEM Terrameter (SAS 300) for the acquisition of apparent resistivity data. The field data obtained was analysed using computer software (IPI2win) which gave the secondary geoelectric parameters of depth, layer thickness and layer resistivities. The results revealed heterogeneous nature of the subsurface geological sequence comprising top soil (clayey-sandy and sandy-lateritic), weathered layer, partly weathered (fractured basement) and fresh basement. The resistivity value for the topsoil layer varied from 20Ωm to 600Ωm with thickness ranging from 0.5 to 7.2 m. The weathered basement had resistivity values ranging from 15Ωm to 593Ωm while the thicknesses varied between 2.75 and 33.04m. The fractured basement had resistivity values ranging from 201Ωm to 835Ωm and thicknesses having values between 11 and 20.4m. The fresh basement (bedrock) had resistivity values ranging from 1161Ωm to 3115Ωm with infinite depth. The depth from the earth’s surface to the bedrock surface varied between 2.5 to 47.75m. The VES 10, 11 and 19 had very good overburden protective capacity and can serve as good sites for borehole drilling.

Kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) herb is a typical South Kalimantan plant containing bioactive substances that can serve as antioxidants. It can be formulated into nanoemulsions to increase bioavailability in the skin. This study aimed to determine the ratio of pine oil and Smix (tween 80 and glycerin) as the optimal base for nanoemulsion based on the highest percent transmittance and to determine the physical characteristics of the S. palustris herb extract nanoemulsion with variations in the amount of extract. Bases of nanoemulsion formula were optimized using a ternary phase diagram and D-Optimal Mixture Design. Nanoemulsion contained three extract concentrations: 0.1; 0.25; and 0.5%, respectively, and nanoemulsion was tested for physical characteristics. The results of this study were a light yellow to light brown, clear, and transparent, with a characteristic weak-strong odor, forming an O/W nanoemulsion. Increasing the concentration of the extract significantly increased the viscosity and decreased the pH and percent transmittance. This study concluded that variations in extract concentration affected the percent transmittance, organoleptic, pH, viscosity, and the optimal ratio of nanoemulsion components was 1% pine oil, 9% Smix, and 90% water.
Iron-Overload Conditions: Manifestations to the Kidney Organs – A Review

Published: March 2024

Excess iron is a risk factor for organ dysfunction and damage resulting in various organ diseases such as liver, heart, and kidney, diabetes mellitus, and neurodegenerative diseases. Iron overload in some individuals is caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition such as genetic hemochromatosis, repeated transfusion of red blood cells, and parenteral iron administration in conditions of transfusion-dependent anemia. A disturbance in the globin gene in diseases such as β-thalassemia major causes an imbalance of the globin chain, resulting in chronic anemia in the sufferer. It has been reported that the human body does not have a mechanism for eliminating excess iron levels. Routine transfusion has become a solution to overcome chronic anemia so that patients can maintain hemoglobin levels, and the result of this transfusion repetition is the accumulation of iron in various organs, such as the heart, liver, endocrine glands, pancreas, lungs, and kidneys. Excess iron can be toxic to the body due to the formation of harmful free radicals that can damage cells and tissues. An increase in excessive ROS can result in the saturation of the antioxidant system. The presence of free radicals can lead to damage and the occurrence of filtration dysfunction in the glomerulus.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition characterized by an inflammatory condition and neuron demyelination, leading to a significant deterioration in the patient's quality of life as the disease progresses. The immune system reactivity in this pathology is mainly mediated by reactive T lymphocytes against myelin. The harmful substances production and proinflammatory cell infiltration occur. Currently, there is no cure, so treatment focuses on reducing the development of the individual's long-term disability by addressing symptoms, acute exacerbations, and slowing progress. The traditional treatment includes immunosuppressive substances such as corticosteroids and interferons. However, an approach to more specific, highly effective therapies such as monoclonal antibodies is currently being sought. Ofatumumab, ocrelizumab, alemtuzumab, and rituximab are commercialized monoclonal antibodies. Likewise, therapies in the research phase, such as ublituximab, inebilizumab, GNbAC1, and elezanumab, can be found. Therefore, research must continue to have more information to increase the availability of therapeutic options for patients.
