Voorbij de hokjes, naar de kern: ‘Gij zult een ander niet schaden’

Beyond the boxes, to the core: ‘Thou shalt not harm another’

In this article I respond to a number of contributions from issue 1 of this volume of the Journal of Restorative Justice. In it I show that in my view restoration is not the same as punishment, as long as in the latter concept the retribution of evil with evil has a place, concretely: the aim of harming the offender. The equating of punishment with retribution in the sense of the intentional addition of suffering – whether or not in disguised form – is, in my view, anything but a caricature or artificial given current theory and practice. That is why I disapprove of punishment for the time being and see restoration as something fundamentally different and better. Furthermore, I show that restoration is partly in line with both consequentialist and deontological thinking and that restoration is primarily about justice, not just decency. Also, in my view, a criminal law based on restorative justice can also be called humane, because it puts the human being first and serves to restore and preserve that human being through the retribution of evil with good. In the retribution of evil with good comes an awareness and attitude that are invariably aimed at repairing and preventing damage. Beyond all the boxes lies the core of what I think it should be about: ‘Thou shalt not harm another’, because: ‘Treat another as you would like to be treated yourself’. No matter what a reaction to injustice that underlies this core is called… The rose will be recognized by its scent.

Being allowed to do your story: Recovery thinking as a thread of Narrative Criminology and Victimology Report of the 4th Narrative Criminology Congress in Antwerp (2-4 July 2023)

This article reports on the 4th Narrative Criminology Conference held in Antwerp in July 2023. Questions like: ‘how to do justice to the lived reality of victims and offenders?’, ‘how to empathize with subjects’ sense of victimization when they have been convicted of abhorrant acts?’ and ‘how to put into words experiences that subjects cannot adequately describe?’ all relate to and are significant for restorative thinking. Keynotes, presentations and masterclasses showed the transformative power of storying experiences of crime and victimization. Even though restorative justice was not explicitly addressed, the importance of defining the self and the other in order to restore their relationship was well-represented during the conference. In this article, we report on a variety of presentations that were given during the conference, e.g., keynotes on narrative victimology, masterclasses in analysing the unsaid and conversations on visual criminology.

Published: December 2023

As Lesões Cervicais Não Cariosas (LCNCs) são um desafio odontológico comum, resultantes de múltiplos fatores como erosão, abrasão e abfração. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a efetividade de abordagens conservadoras no tratamento de LCNCs, focando na preservação do tecido dentário e no controle da sensibilidade pós-operatória. Utilizando uma metodologia de revisão da literatura do recorte temporal dos últimos dez anos (2013-2023), foram exploradas as tendências atuais em diagnóstico e tratamento. Foram analisadas as técnicas de diagnóstico, com destaque para as limitações de acessibilidade de métodos avançados como a tomografia de coerência óptica, e estratégias de tratamento, priorizando o uso de resinas compostas e ionômeros de vidro. O estudo identificou que as restaurações com resinas compostas se mostraram eficazes a longo prazo, oferecendo adesão, estética e funcionalidade. No entanto, a adoção de tecnologias de diagnóstico avançado permanece limitada por fatores como custo e disponibilidade. A conclusão enfatiza que a gestão adequada das LCNCs requer uma abordagem integrada que combine precisão técnica, materiais de alta qualidade e uma forte ênfase na educação do paciente e prevenção. A sustentabilidade do tratamento e a manutenção da saúde oral a longo prazo são altamente dependentes do compromisso contínuo entre dentistas e pacientes para seguir práticas de prevenção e assegurar um acompanhamento odontológico regular.

Published: December 2023

Context: Alcohol gel (70% ethanol, AG) and 2% chlorhexidine foam (CF) are hand antiseptics recommended by the World Health Organization. Although both are effective, it is unclear if one is superior to the other in a hospital setting. Aims: To evaluate the disinfectant ability comparing AG and CF by analyzing microbial reduction on the hands of nursing staff from two hospitals in Northern Peru. Methods: The nursing staff was randomly assigned to the AG and CF treatment groups. Before and after antisepsis, samples were taken by inserting the hands into a sterile self-closing bag containing peptone water. A sample of the liquid medium was plated on agar and used to calculate the CFU/mL of the peptone water. Participant data was analyzed in aggregate or according to hospital, profession, or service. Results: Both AG and CF were significantly effective in reducing CFU/mL. In aggregate, CFU/mL reduction was 80.9% for AG and 91.3% for CF, but the difference was not statistically significant. However, a small statistically significant difference in favor of CF was observed in the surgical center of both hospitals. These results are confirmed with multivariate analysis. Conclusions: AG and CF are both effective in hand antisepsis, but other factors are important when deciding which agent is appropriate for a specific healthcare setting.

The country certainly cannot be separated from the name of international trade. ASEAN, which is an organization of countries in Southeast Asia, is interdependent with each other. Cooperation between ASEAN countries covers various fields such as economics, politics, socio-culture, security and education. However, the main motive for this interdependence is motivated by economic and political factors. This interaction can be created well because it is influenced by the national interests of each country. Economic growth is also one of the goals that every country always wants to achieve. There are several indicators of the theoretical framework in the economic growth of ASEAN countries, including Foreign Direct Investment, results of exports and imports or international trade, as well as the country's per capita income (GDP per capita). A single direct investment or capital investment from one country to another can also make a major contribution to a country's development, through the transfer of assets, technology and managerial skills to increase the country's economic growth. Meanwhile, imports and exports can increase state income and the state's financial circulation can circulate well. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is also an important indicator as proof of whether a country is progressing or not. Therefore, this research functions to analyze the impact or influence of free or international trade and economic growth in the ASEAN region in 2017-2021. The data used in this research is secondary data, obtained from the results of literature studies, journals, books and official sites or websites. The method used in this research is the multiple regression analysis method (OLS). Based on the known methods used, supported by the data obtained, it can be seen that international trade factors have a major impact on regional economic growth in the ASEAN region.

Aportes de la deconstrucción a la investigación educativa actual
Authors: Zavaleta Reyna de Ascoy María del Pilar , Valverde Zavaleta Silvia Ana
Published: December 2023

La deconstrucción se inicia como un pensamiento filosófico propuesto por Jacques Derrida. Esta propuesta surge como una oposición a la lectura que asume una interpretación única impuesta a los grupos marginales y busca resignificar las narraciones a través de la interpretación de los fenómenos ocultos que contienen los hechos contados. Esta propuesta, posteriormente, es adaptada como una metodología de investigación y brinda dos grandes aportes a la investigación educativa: el primero, la deconstrucción genera la transformación de la práctica pedagógica debido a que se indaga en los mismos hechos narrados para reconocer los constructos que sustentan dicha práctica y generar propuestas de mejora en base a la realidad encontrada; lo que constituiría una transformación desde el interior; el segundo porque desarrolla el pensamiento crítico del investigador, debido a que el proceso de deconstrucción demanda la movilización de procesos de alta demanda cognitiva.

Published: December 2023

Background: Sepsis is one of the most dangerous neonatal infections. Bacterial causes of neonatal septicemia are different. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic resistance pattern of microbial agents causing preterm neonatal sepsis. Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 1000 infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units 1 and 2 and the neonatal ward of Al-Zahra Medical Center in Tabriz, Iran, from March 2019 to June 2020. Sampling was completed through the convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire after evaluating its validity and reliability. The questionnaire included personal information of neonates, causes of infection, antibiotic use, hospitalization time, and medication resistance pattern. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion technique according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: Among all studied neonates, 78 cases (7.8%) had positive blood cultures. The most common cause of neonatal infection was preterm birth (80.8%), and the most common bacterial causes of sepsis were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (46.15) and Klebsiella pneumonia (28.2%). The highest antibiotic susceptibility of Gram-positive (coagulase-negative Staphylococcus) and Gram-negative bacteria was to ceftriaxone (47.3%) and piperacillin/tazobactam (100%), respectively, and the highest antibiotic resistance was to ampicillin and gentamicin (nearly 100%). Conclusions: Resistance to antibiotics used to treat sepsis has increased, which will cause irreparable problems in the treatment of preterm neonates if not addressed. Due to different microbial agents and drug resistance patterns in distinct regions, annual surveys should be conducted to determine drug resistance patterns, emphasizing preventive measures.
Cognitive Load as a Predictor of Depression among Undergraduates in Nigerian Universities
Authors: Ossai Osita Victor , Etta Martha Ejor
Published: December 2023

In spite of increased mental health care resources at universities, depression rates continue to rise. This study examined cognitive load as a predictor of depression among undergraduate students at Nigerian universities. A correlational survey paradigm was utilized. A total of 1026 first-year students of the Faculty of Education and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Nigeria were included in this study. In the study, 300 undergraduate students [100 males and 200 females] from Nigeria's University of Nigeria were surveyed. The study collected data using the Cognitive Load Questionnaire (CLQ) and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). CLQ had a reliability coefficient of 0.93, while BDI had a reliability coefficient of 0.90. Two research assistants administered the instruments to respondents. Simple regression was utilized for the research questions. A Fisher Z-test was used to test hypothesis two, while A linear regression t-test was used to test hypothesis one. In Nigerian universities, cognitive load does not significantly predict depression among undergraduates. Among Nigerian undergraduate students, 2.2% of their depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive load as a result of their gender. Other factors that influence depression among undergraduates in Nigerian universities, such as stress, need to be identified and appropriate measures taken to ameliorate the increasing trend of depression among undergraduates.

Authors: Odeh Ammar , Al-Haija Qasem Abu , Aref Abdullah , Taleb Anas Abu
Published: December 2023

Phishing via URLs involves cyber attackers crafting deceptive websites or emails, mimicking genuine entities like banks or social media outlets. The objective is to dupe users into divulging personal data, such as their passwords or card numbers. This study assesses the potential of machine learning in identifying phishing domains by constructing and contrasting three distinct models. These models, crafted using CatBoost, XGBoost, and LightGBM techniques, are then juxtaposed against prior solutions documented in academic literature. We employed the UCI phishing domains dataset, sourced from URLs, as a performance benchmark for our models. Findings indicate that the model built on CatBoost outperforms its counterparts and also surpasses earlier documented methods.

The proliferation of Internet and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has ushered in a period often referred to as Industry 5.0. The subsequent development is accompanied by the healthcare industry coining Healthcare 5.0. Healthcare 5.0 incorporates the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling medical imaging technologies to facilitate early diagnosis of diseases and enhance the quality of healthcare facilities' service. Nevertheless, the healthcare sector is currently experiencing a delay in adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data technologies compared to other sectors under the umbrella of Industry 5.0. This delay may be attributed to the prevailing concerns about data privacy within the healthcare domain. In recent times, there has been a noticeable increase in the use of Machine Learning (ML) enabled adaptive Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) systems with different technologies for medical applications. ML is an essential component of the IoMT system, as it optimizes the trade-off between delay and energy consumption. The issue of data fraud in classical learning models inside the distributed IoMT system for medical applications remains a significant research challenge in practical settings. This paper proposes Federated Learning and Blockchain-Enabled Privacy-Preserving (FL-BEPP) for Fraud Prevention and Security (FPS) in the IoMT framework. The system incorporates numerous dynamic strategies. This research examines the medical applications that exhibit hard constraints, such as deadlines, and soft constraints, such as resource consumption, when executed on distributed fog and cloud nodes. The primary objective of FL-BEPP is to effectively detect and safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of data across many tiers, including local fog nodes and faraway clouds. This is achieved by minimizing power use and delay while simultaneously meeting the time constraints associated with healthcare workloads.
