Authors: Sari Nurwita Mustika , Martono Dwi Nowo , Koestoer Raldi Hendrotoro Seputro , Kushardono Dony
Published: January 2025

Most of the global population lives in urban areas, which also serve as hubs of economy, industry, and government activities. Various factors that affect the quality of cities have been studied in different locations. This article reviews various papers that examine environmental quality indicators in urban areas that can be extracted from remote sensing data. The first aspect is vegetation cover, which is known from the vegetation index normalized difference vegetation index (NVDI), and the second aspect is surface temperature, which is known from land surface temperature (LST). In this work, urban environmental conditions in various countries are compared with urban conditions in Indonesia based on these indicators. It is found that NDVI and LST are indicators from remote sensing that are widely used to analyze urban environmental conditions. The vegetation index has a negative correlation with surface temperature. High surface temperature creates discomfort in urban quality of life and brings mental stress to residents living in those areas. Based on bibliometric analysis and network map, it is known that there are 30 most relevant words or terms to the keywords “urban remote sensing” and “remote sensing environment indicator” with the highest frequency of occurrence and relevance. This study can serve as input for the government as policymakers and urban planners to formulate spatial planning policies oriented towards sustainability and to research current topics related and relevant to remote sensing-based urban environmental quality indicators.

Authors: Pena Alvarez Zulema Izamar , Pena Alvarez Sonia Jannet
Published: January 2025

This paper analyses the difference between teaching and practicing listening and reading skills in the context of learning English as a second language (ESL). A systematic literature review examines recent studies published within the last five years on pedagogical approaches. The results indicate that active teaching, which includes keyword identification and inference strategies, is significantly more effective than repetitive practice, allowing students to apply these skills more effectively in real-life situations. It is concluded that structured instruction is key to fostering deep learning, while unguided practice may limit the effective development of these skills.
ON THE FEASIBILITY OF PROGRESSIVE DIGITALIZATION OF DOMESTIC CRIMINAL PROCEEDING
Authors: RAMALDANOV KH.KH. , ZAITSEV N.I.
Published: January 2025

This article discusses issues related to the digitalization of certain parts of criminal proceedings. Evidence and proving in criminal proceedings perform fundamental functions aimed at establishing the truth in a criminal case. Therefore, it is necessary to improve them to meet modern realities, saturating them with the results of scientific and technical achievements. In the course of the research, the authors used general scientific, statistical, logical, as well as a number of other methods of scientific cognition: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization and description. The authors, using official statistical data on the number of crimes committed, through the use of the Internet information and telecommunications network, call for the need for timely digital transformation of criminal procedural evidence. In this article, the authors have attempted a digital transformation of individual means of proof. The scientific works of Russian scientists who propose to use artificial intelligence to perform the tasks of the criminal process are analyzed. The positive aspects of using artificial intelligence technology for the needs of criminal proceedings are substantiated. The paper proposes to abandon filling out statistical cards manually by the subjects of proof, making this process automated by using artificial intelligence technology. The authors argue the position related to recording the progress and results of the investigative action using tablets.
MAIN DIRECTIONS OF FOREIGN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF CRIMINOLOGICAL FORECASTING
Authors: ULYANOV M.V.
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the development of foreign scientific approaches to forecasting in the field of criminal law regulation. The materials of the main scientific works of foreign scientists related to the problems of forecasting in the USA, Great Britain and Canada are used. It is established that initially the study of forecasting tools was in demand by the penitentiary system for making decisions on parole. The earliest and most famous works appear as early as the 1920s. They initiated the use of actuarial forecasting techniques in the criminal justice system. Another area of research was the projection of the prison population, which was due, inter alia, to the problem of overcrowding. Later, works devoted to predictive policing and the use of analytical methods for predicting crime began to appear. This was due to the experience of successful implementation of special software in police practice. A great demand for scientific research on predictive analytics arose after the terrorist attacks of 2001, when research teams began to receive additional funding. It was necessary to develop modern computing systems for risk assessment and spatio-temporal analysis in order to counter crime, including terrorism. In addition, the increase in the scale and level of detail of data available to law enforcement agencies and the automation of their collection contributed to the intensification of scientific activity. Foreign researchers have borrowed forecasting methods that have found their application in other sciences or fields of activity. The expediency of using certain methods is the subject of a broad scientific discussion, which currently concerns, first of all, the admissibility of obtaining personal data and the problems of algorithmization of activities.
CRIMINOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF EXTREMISM AMONG YOUTH AT THE PRESENT STAGE OF SOCIETY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: YUZIKHANOVA E.G. , KORSIKOVA N.A.
Published: January 2025

Extremist offenses are considered as the most socially dangerous acts, often causing a public outcry, because as a result of their commission, first of all, the constitutional human right protected by law, provided for in the norms of Article 19 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, to protect “the equality of his rights and freedoms regardless of gender, race, nationality, language, is affected of origin, property and official status, place of residence, attitude to religion, beliefs, membership in public associations, as well as other circumstances”. Worryingly, in this case, the penetration of extremist manifestations and views with their projection onto society serves as a catalyst for the substitution of foundations in society - traditional cultural values are being destroyed, and there is also a slow denial of already existing values in society. The article is devoted to the social and criminological analysis of extremist crimes, with the definition of criminological indicators of extremism among young people, the study of the criminological characteristics of personality and the determinants of extremism at the present stage of society development. The issues related to the study of the concept, essence and main forms of extremism among young people, taking into account the modern realities of society development, are touched upon.

CRIMINAL LAW AND OTHER FEATURES OF THE LAWS OF HAMMURABI
Authors: TROFIMOVA T.S. , DUDCHENKO L.V.
Published: January 2025

The presented scientific article is devoted to the analysis of the development and formation of the legislative monuments of Ancient Mesopotamia, in particular, the laws of Hammurabi. Being the oldest source of law, the norms under study contribute to the formation of a legal picture peculiar to that time. The features of the formation of citizenship in society, the legislative regulation of emerging legal relations, both between members of society and with the state, are considered. Despite the wide range of legal regulation in the field of economic relations, considerable attention was paid to offenses, including in the above-mentioned area. Special attention was paid to crimes related to the violent theft of property, the penalties for which were emphasized to be cruel. The most common punishment of the above-mentioned historical period was the death penalty, which left a certain imprint on the legal system of subsequent civilizations, not only in the East, but also in Greece and Rome. It is appropriate to note that despite the indicated uncompromising sanctions policy on the part of the state towards violators of legislation in various fields, the prosecution’s arguments were based not only on the witness base, but also supported by other material evidence, namely various documentary evidence. The presence of legal regulation not only in the criminal sphere, but also in civil law, further emphasizes the undoubted progressiveness of the legislation under study at that time.
CORRUPTION IN THE FIELD OF STATE AND MUNICIPAL PROCUREMENT (HISTORICAL AND LEGAL DIGRESSION)
Authors: GORYUNOV V.E. , YEGOROV O.N.
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the consideration of corruption in the implementation of state and municipal procurement (hereinafter referred to as “public procurement”, “procurement” etc.) as a complex socio-social phenomenon. Contractual relations, including to meet the needs of the state, have been known since the time of the Roman Empire. Information has been preserved about the bidding process more than a thousand years ago in Veliky Novgorod. In the chronicles we find the Decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich of 1595. Since the time of Peter the Great, government contracts have been conducted on the principles of transparency, equality of participants, and responsibility of the parties. Anti-dumping measures were used. During the Soviet period of the development of our society, the planned economy of the country, and the legal regulation of various spheres of life, anti-corruption was successful, except perhaps in the last years of the Soviet Union. In modern Russia, the issues of combating corruption in the field of state and municipal procurement are of pronounced relevance. Thus, modern “high-profile” cases, presumably related to the personal enrichment of major military officials in public procurement for the Russian army, emphasize the relevance, even the topicality, of this scientific work.
INCREASED BLANKET NATURE AS A PROBLEM OF QUALIFICATION OF TAX CRIMES
Authors: WALTER A.V.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the features of blanket norms in the context of tax offenses provided for in Articles 198-199.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The main attention is paid to the legal uncertainty and difficulties in interpreting these norms associated with reference to tax and other civil legislation. The systemic connections between criminal and tax law are analyzed, terminological and semantic problems that complicate law enforcement are identified. The need for unification of terminology and simplification of syntactic constructions to increase the level of legal certainty is particularly emphasized. The article also touches upon the issues of introducing modern technologies, including machine-readable law, to optimize the analysis of legal texts and improve the understanding of norms by all participants in the law enforcement process.

Published: January 2025

This study assessed health information managers’ perception of the quality of health information management system implementation in selected hospitals in Ogun State, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was employed, and data were collected from 214 health information managers using a structured questionnaire which was validated through the Cronbach’s alpha test. High alpha coefficients of 0.8 was obtained, indicating a reliable and internally consistent questionnaire. Data gathered for the study were analysed using frequency counts, percentage distribution, mean and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings revealed a significant level of dissatisfaction among the respondents, with a grand mean score of 1.93 (on a 5-point Likert scale) indicating widespread disagreement with statements related to the quality of health information management system implementation. A one-way ANOVA test was conducted to examine the differences in perception among Health Information Managers from primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare institutions in the selected State. The results showed a statistically significant difference in the perception of service quality [F(2, 211) = 23.764, p = .001]. Post hoc analysis using the Tukey HSD test further revealed that primary Health Information Managers had a significantly more negative perception of service quality compared to their counterparts in secondary and tertiary healthcare settings. However, no significant difference was found between secondary and tertiary healthcare information managers. The study's findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to address the disparities in the perceived quality of health information management services across different levels of the healthcare system. Strategies to improve service quality should consider the unique challenges and needs of each healthcare setting, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among health information managers to enhance the overall quality and consistency of health information management services.

Authors: Umar Abubakar , Abba Tukur , Shuaibu Umar
Published: January 2025

This study was aimed at investigating the influence of information literacy skills on the use of library resources among postgraduate (PG) students of Gombe State University (GSU). The researcher adopted a survey research design to study a sample of three hundred and forty of the students. The respondents (students) were selected using a convenience sampling technique, and relevant data were collected from them using a self-administered questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. Findings from the study showed that the overwhelming majority of the students use library resources in GSU to conduct research (98.5%), for reading purposes (99.2%), to explore new resources (94.2%) and 94.2% of them borrow the library’s Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) to augment their study resources. Moreover, the study uncovered that 76.4% of the respondents have a high level of literacy skills to define their information needs in the University, while 83. 8% of them apply information obtained from the library for any assignment given to them to make constructive academic decisions. Also, 85.3% of the respondents affirmed that literacy skills equip them with the ability to define their information needs, 91.4% said it enables them to read different information sources to form specific ideas, and 87.1% admitted it assists them in limiting search strategies. The foregoing notwithstanding, this study highlighted that there between 1.5%-14.7% of the respondents indicated not frequenting the use of library resources. Overall, a one-way ANOVA test showed that information literacy skills significantly influenced the use of library resources (F=8005.648, P=0.000) among the students. Hence, it can be concluded that the influence of information literacy skills on the use of library resources cannot be overemphasized. It is therefore recommended that updated journals, textbooks, e-journals, reports, magazines, and online databases should be made available in libraries as they are good information sources suitable for information seekers. Librarians should be receptive to students; encouraging them to use the library frequently. Finally, students should be sensitized to information literacy through various means such as lectures and seminars.

Impact of Nanoparticles on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Pathways in Human Prostate Cancer
Authors: Abbood Sharara Fadhil , Fakhri Faten Hadi , AlKhafaji Qatar-Al-Nada M.M
Published: January 2025

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among men and is fueled by oxidative stress and inflammation that drive tumor progression and resistance to therapy. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokine such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) establish a pro-tumor microenvironment. Iron oxide nanoparticles are believed to be promising micro/nano therapy agents because NPs such as ferric oxide (Fe2O3) play a critical role in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory events. Herein, we examine influences of NPs on oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways in prostate cancer models. NP treatment was used for cells exposed to oxidative and inflammatory stressors. We measured a variety of key markers including ROS, MDA, GSH, and activities of antioxidant enzymes (catalase [CAT] and superoxide dismutase [SOD]). The levels of inflammatory cytokines were determined by widely used biochemical methods and spectrophotomedically. This resulted in significant reduction in ROS and MDA (oxidative damage markers) and significant elevation in the reduced GSH levels and these results were supported by the increased levels of antioxidant enzymes namely catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in NP-treated. Moreover, NPs also inhibited inflammation by downregulating the release of cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-6. These effects suggest that NPs are capable of restoring oxidative homeostasis and suppressing inflammation, ultimately leading to a more tumor-hostile microenvironment. Abstract Nanoparticles that alleviate oxidative stress and overwrite inflammation pathways synergistically offer two critical blockade points in prostate cancer therapy to counter plasma phase-induced cellular malfunctions required for tumor progression. These results reinforce the prospect of NP as complements to cancer therapy. Optimizing NP formulations could improve their efficacy and safety for potential clinical applications in the future and provide new approaches for improving prostate cancer treatment.

Published: January 2025

This research analyzes the implementation and performance of RT/RW Net Internet networks utilizing MikroTik and OpenWrt in Simalidu Koto Salak, Dharmasraya, addressing the significant challenges posed by the region's telecommunications infrastructure. The primary objective is to evaluate critical Quality of Service (QoS) parameters that greatly influence user experience, specifically focusing on bandwidth, throughput, delay, jitter, and packet loss. Employing a systematic methodology, the study begins with site surveys to assess geographical and infrastructural contexts, followed by the deployment of a Point-To-Point network system designed to ensure optimal signal quality and efficient user management through MikroTik devices. Findings reveal that QoS in the RT/RW Net network is considerably affected by both technical configurations and the quality of the signal, culminating in a QoS score of 3.5, which corresponds to a 75% performance rating. These results indicate that, while the implemented network solution meets basic connectivity needs, further optimization is crucial to enhance user satisfaction and overall performance. Consequently, the study offers several recommendations aimed at improving internet service quality in similar environments, highlighting the necessity of continuous evaluation and adaptation of network configurations to meet the evolving demands of users. Furthermore, it suggests that future research could delve into advanced technologies and methodologies to further enhance network performance and user experience, particularly in rural areas, thereby effectively addressing connectivity challenges and ensuring that the benefits of reliable internet access are widely distributed among local communities.

Published: January 2025

Assessing or evaluating the Lecturer's Performance, presented through the Lecturer Performance Index, is a crucial element in the university system that impacts the quality of The University's Three Main Purposes, which include teaching, research, and community service. To ensure objective and accurate evaluations, methods that can accommodate various relevant criteria are needed. One increasingly popular approach is the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method, which allows for evaluating and comparing alternatives based on multiple criteria. This research compares several MCDM methods, namely Weighted Product (WP), Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), and Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA), used to assess the lecturer's performance at Dipa University Makassar. The WP method can handle criteria with different units, SAW is simpler and easier to apply, while MOORA offers a more comprehensive analysis. This study also identifies challenges in assessing the lecturer's performance, such as the influence of students' subjective evaluations that may lead to bias, as well as the addition of several of the lecturer's performance evaluation criteria such as teaching innovation, student mentoring, international and national journal publications, internal publications, and book publications. Additionally, self-development criteria based on academic fields are considered. The findings of this research are expected to provide insights into effective MCDM methods for the lecturer's performance evaluation and offer recommendations for educational institutions to choose the appropriate and transparent evaluation method. By using MCDM, the objectivity and accuracy of the lecturer's performance evaluations can be improved, biases can be reduced, and contributions can be made toward developing more fair and systematic evaluation standards.

The Main Branch Post Office (Kantor Pos Cabang Utama, KCU) Madiun, as part of the Pos Indonesia network, plays a key role in managing parcel deliveries, document handling, and financial transactions in Madiun and surrounding areas. The delivery process includes three main stages: First Mail, Middle Mail, and Last Mail. In the First Mail stage, mail and parcels are collected at counters from various sources such as post offices, mailboxes, or customers. In the Middle Mail stage, items are sorted by officers based on their final destinations. Finally, in the Last Mail stage, parcels are sorted again by specific routes or locations within the city before being delivered directly to recipients by couriers.This research focuses on evaluating and improving the user interface of the "Tracking System," a digital tool used to monitor shipments across these stages. To measure its usability and user-friendliness, the System Usability Scale (SUS) method was employed, involving 10 statements for respondents, who were selected from system users. The study's findings reveal that the tracking system is categorized as "OK" in adjective ratings and "Marginal" in terms of acceptability. These results highlight areas for improvement in the system to better support the growing demands of digital postal services while ensuring user satisfaction.

Bunga merupakan salah satu komponen estetika yang penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Di Indonesia, terdapat berbagai jenis bunga dengan karakteristik unik, seperti warna dan bentuknya. Anggrek adalah famili terbesar dalam tumbuhan berbunga, yang mencakup sekitar 7-10% dari seluruh spesies berbunga di dunia, dan di Indonesia diperkirakan ada sekitar 4.000-5.000 jenis anggrek. Beberapa penelitian telah dilakukan untuk mengklasifikasikan bunga menggunakan metode pembelajaran mesin, namun pengklasifikasian anggrek menghadapi kendala karena adanya variasi warna yang luas dan kemiripan bentuk antar spesies, sehingga masyarakat sulit membedakan jenis anggrek yang berbeda. Keunikan anggrek yang menjadi daya tarik bagi penggemar tanaman hias terutama terletak pada bunga dan warna bunganya yang beragam. Pengklasifikasian secara manual saat ini dilakukan berdasarkan ciri mahkota bunga dan susunannya dengan cara pengamatan langsung, yang kurang efektif dan memerlukan waktu serta tenaga yang besar jika dilakukan dalam jumlah banyak. Dari berbagai metode deep learning, metode Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) adalah yang paling sesuai untuk penelitian ini, karena CNN dianggap sebagai model unggul dalam menangani masalah object detection dan object recognition. Oleh karena itu, dikembangkanlah aplikasi yang dapat mengatasi masalah ini melalui pengambilan citra bunga, didukung oleh teknologi berbasis deep learning dengan metode convolutional neural network sebagai solusi untuk mengklasifikasikan berbagai jenis tanaman bunga sebagai langkah dalam mendeteksi jenis bunga. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan model CNN yang dapat mengklasifikasikan jenis anggrek berdasarkan kecocokan gambar input dengan dataset yang tersedia. Berdasarkan simulasi yang telah dilakukan, model ini berhasil mencapai rata-rata akurasi sebesar 94,28%.

One of the texts with nuanced meanings is an advertisement.  When discussing how to effectively convey messages in advertisements, the complexity of meaning encompasses both written and visual components.  To understand the power and meaning of a text that contains multiple modes, such as verbal, visual, and aural, a multimodal analysis of an advertisement is necessary to understand the complexities of meaning. The research aims to examine the multimodal resources in the Loreal x Cinta Laura Khiel advertisement on YouTube based on five semiotic multimodal systems proposed by Anstey &Bull (2018). This research utilizes both qualitative and descriptive techniques. The information was obtained as a picture derived from a screenshot of a YouTube commercial. The outcome depicts five components of the multimodal system in this advertisement: verbal, visual, auditory, gestural, and spatial. These five factors are mutually beneficial for communicating messages from the Loreal advertisement on Loreal Official YouTube and advertising and marketing this smart application.

A Comparison Study on the Rhetorical Structures of Abstracts in Two Disciplines Indexed Journals
Authors: S. Nurhayati , Fadilah Fadilah
Published: January 2025

Abstracts offer a concise summary of a study, helping readers determine whether to read the full article, as they serve as the initial point of access to knowledge and are among the first freely available "mini-texts" online (Huckin, 2001). This study aimed to compare the rhetorical structures and their occurrence in abstracts from IT journals and Language, Literature, and Education (LLE) journals, as well as to assess how well writers adhere to abstract writing guidelines. The study analyzed 60 abstracts—30 from each journal type—using Hyland’s (2000) model. The analysis revealed 19 different move structures, with six abstracts following the same patterns and 13 displaying varied structures. The most common move structures were M1-M2-M3-M4-M5 and M1-M2-M3-M4. There were instances of merging and repetition in moves 2 and 3, and the average awareness of using all move structures was higher in LLE (93%) compared to IT abstracts (87%). Hyland's (2000) five-move model provides a framework for maintaining consistency in abstract organization by emphasizing the significance and order of each move. The study found that certain structures included repetitive or cyclical moves, indicating the importance of offering clear textual guidance on the correct sequence.

Published: January 2025

Using digital tools such as Google Forms and Microsoft Forms has transformed the landscape of English language assessment, offering features like instant feedback, multimedia integration, and automated grading. However, despite their widespread adoption, limited research has systematically compared their effectiveness across critical dimensions, including usability, engagement, and feedback quality, as well as their suitability for assessing specific language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This study aimed to fill this gap by evaluating the strengths and limitations of these platforms through a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected from surveys involving 100 students and 15 educators, while qualitative insights were derived from semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Statistical analyses were used to assess platform-specific performance, including paired t-tests and ANOVA. The results revealed significant differences in skill-specific effectiveness: Google Forms was better suited for reading assessments (p = 0.014) due to its simplicity and ease of use, while Microsoft Forms excelled in writing (p = 0.001) and speaking (p = 0.047) tasks, owing to its advanced features like branching logic and multimedia capabilities. Both platforms were equally effective for listening assessments, reflecting their shared strengths in multimedia support. Regarding usability, Google Forms was favoured for its mobile-friendly design, whereas Microsoft Forms offered superior customization but presented a steeper learning curve. Engagement levels were comparable, with multimedia integration and instant feedback highlighted as key motivators. Feedback quality was effective on both platforms but required further refinement for open-ended tasks. This study concluded that educators should align platform selection with the specific assessment objectives, using Google Forms for receptive skills like reading and listening and Microsoft Forms for productive tasks like writing and speaking. These findings provide practical recommendations for leveraging digital tools to enhance language assessment practices.
