Authors: Prasetio Rizki Bagus
Published: October 2022

COVID-19 has had a broad impact in many sectors, including social welfare and legal certainty. During covid-19, in 2021 about 28,000 children being orphaned, and this continues to grow along with the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus in Indonesia. Constitutionally, state guarantees for children’s welfare are regulated in various laws and regulations, however, many children do not get care until they grow up, causing the child to be under trusteeship. In positive law, trusteeship has been regulated in the Civil Code, the Compilation of Islamic Law, Law 1 of 1974 and PP 29 of 2019. However, the extent to which these regulations can meet the need for trusteeship in Indonesia still needs to be studied. This paper includes the extent to which Orphan Chamber’s (Balai Harta Peninggalan or BHP) role in the trust can function correctly. This study used normative juridical research uses a statute approach through library studies. This study found and confirmed that every child is not only entitled to protection for himself. He is also entitled to protection for his property. However, some of these regulations still have various problems ranging from overlapping rules to problems in practice. Meanwhile, the existence of disharmony provisions causes the role of BHP as trustee of trustees and temporary trustees to be less than optimal. However, with the RUU BHP, the concept of trusteeship and the role of BHP institutionally and its duties and functions will be strengthened, although with various notes. Such is the case by optimizing his role as supervisory trustee in situations of natural or non-natural disasters such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

Authors: Jhody Puguh Setyawan Setyawan
Published: October 2022

Sentencing is a process of the criminal justice system which is seen as giving punishment to those who commit crimes or criminal acts. A convict who is serving a sentence in a prison is called a prisoner who must be given his rights in the context of the development process according to the correctional system. These rights are regulated by Law number 12 of 1995 concerning Corrections which has been delegated through government regulation number 99 of 2012. Until now, the regulation still invites controversy because its content is related to the rules for remission and parole for special prisoners. The author will examine the purpose of making regulation number 99 of 2012, where the study of legal politics. This study uses a qualitative legal research approach with sociological juridical research. The results of this study are when viewed from three legal politics criteria, namely: first, related to state policies regarding the application of law as a way to achieve state goals, namely protecting the entire Indonesian nation and all Indonesian bloodshed, as well as the goals of the correctional system. Second, related to the background of law enforcement because the granting of rights to prisoners of extraordinary crimes needs to be tightened to fulfill the community's sense of justice. Third, related to law enforcement that has been carried out has been going well because the tightening of the granting of these rights resulted in not all prisoners getting remission and parole.

Building a network of partnership in the management of educational institutions is one thing that is very important to be done by the managers of non-formal educational institutions that are managed independently by the community so that the purpose of establishing non-formal educational institutions can be achieved.  This study aims to explore how the views of non-formal education managers and the forms of partnership built by non-formal education managers build partnership networks and obstacles faced in building partnership networks. This research uses qualitative methods and data collection is carried out by observation in the form of direct observations to several non-formal educational institutions located in three regions of Jambi province, namely Batanghari, Merangin, and Muaro Bungo. Interviews were conducted with non-formal education managers in three regions, as well as documentation in the form of visions, missions of non-formal educational institutions, cooperation documents, and some literature related to the management of non-formal education. The data that has been collected is analyzed and tested for validity using the source data trianggulation technique. The results showed that the managers of non-formal education units have similar views on the importance of cooperating in the management of non-formal education units, and the form of cooperation carried out in the form of cooperation in terms of financing, borrowing facilities and infrastructure, as well as resource persons for training and learning activities. The obstacles faced come from within the manager himself, namely still passive and less proactive in building partnership networks with other parties. The results of this study show that the managers of non-formal education units view building partnership networks only limited to practical matters, namely financing, borrowing facilities, and resource persons only in accordance with current needs, it is hoped that the results of the research will be able to improve the quality of management of non-formal educational institutions managed by the community.

Published: October 2022

Introduction

A gonadectomy is currently recommended in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) and a 45,X/46,XY karyotype, due to a potential risk of gonadoblastoma (GB). However, the quality of evidence behind this recommendation is low.

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of GB, its characteristics, as well as its risk factors, according to the type of Y chromosomal material in the karyotype.

Methods

Our study within French rare disease centers included patients with TS and a 45,X/46,XY karyotype, without ambiguity of external genitalia. Clinical characteristics of the patients, their age at gonadectomy, and gonadal histology were recorded. The regions of the Y chromosome, the presence of TSPY regions, and the percentage of 45,X/46,XY mosaicism were evaluated.

Results

A total of 70 patients were recruited, with a median age of 29.5 years (21.0–36.0) at the end of follow-up. Fifty-eight patients had a gonadectomy, at a mean age of 15 ± 8 years. GB was present in nine cases. Two were malignant, which were discovered at the age of 14 and 32 years, without metastases. Neither the percentage of XY cells within the 45,X/46,XY mosaicism nor the number of TSPY copies was statistically different in patients with or without GB (P = 0.37). However, the entire Y chromosome was frequent in patients with GB (6/9).

Conclusions

In our study, including a large number of patients with 45,X/46,XY TS, the prevalence of gonadoblastoma is 12.8%. An entire Y chromosome appears as the main risk factor of GB and should favor early gonadectomy.

Significant statement

About 10% of patients with TS have a karyotype containing Y chromosomal material: 45,X/46,XY. Its presence is related to the risk of GB. Therefore, a prophylactic gonadectomy is currently recommended in such patients. However, the quality of evidence is low. Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of GB according to the type of Y-chromosomal material. We found a prevalence of GB of 12.8% in a cohort of 70 TS patients. No sign of hyperandrogenism was observed. The entire Y chromosome was the most frequent type of Y-material in patients with GB. As the prognosis of these tumors was good, a delay of surgery might be discussed.
Repurposing existing drugs as a therapeutic approach for the prevention of preterm birth

Published: October 2022

In brief

Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality; however, current therapies offer limited efficacy to delay birth and improve neonatal outcomes. This review explores the potential of repurposing drugs with known safety profiles to quench uterine contractions and inflammation, identifying promising agents for clinical trials.

Preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality globally. Despite extensive research into the underlying pathophysiology, rates of preterm birth have not significantly reduced. Currently, preterm labour management is based on optimising neonatal outcomes. Treatment involves administering drugs (tocolytics) to suppress uterine contractions to allow sufficient time for transfer to an appropriate facility and administration of antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation. Current tocolytics are limited as they are associated with adverse maternal and fetal effects and only delay delivery for a short period. There has been a serious lack of therapeutic development for preterm birth, and new approaches to protect against or delay preterm birth are urgently needed. Repurposing drugs for the prevention of preterm birth presents as a promising approach by reducing the time and costs associated with pharmaceutical drug development. In this review, we explore the evidence for the potential of therapies, specifically proton pump inhibitors, tumour necrosis factor inhibitors, prostaglandin receptor antagonists, aspirin, and statins, to be repurposed as preventatives and/or treatments for preterm birth. Importantly, many of these innovative approaches being explored have good safety profiles in pregnancy. We also review how delivery of these drugs can be enhanced, either through targeted delivery systems or via combination therapy approaches. We aim to present innovative strategies capable of targeting multiple aspects of the complex pathophysiology that underlie preterm birth. There is an urgent unmet need for preterm birth therapeutic development, and these strategies hold great promise for improving neonatal outcomes.

Viajes, éxodos y colisiones: reanimando las convicciones en un mundo global violento. aportes desde una ética intercultural/decolonial
Authors: Salas Astrain Ricardo Florentino
Published: October 2022

The article proposes to relocate the plural convictions of the cultures and Peoples of the Earth in the framework of a normative discussion linked to the planetary environmental crisis. In the systematic violence, displacement and exodus of human communities and endless destructive processes that the dynamics of Capital continue to carry out, a dialogue of axiologies is needed to advance in an intercultural/decolonial deontological ethics. From this intercultural/decolonial turn that defines part of current critical thinking, the serious environmental problems that affect the collision of convictions in interethnic territories and peripheral societies are analyzed, which means linking convictions with norms. For this reason, the idea of what the indigenous peoples carry out is defended, as they teach us other sapiential and material forms of Life, defining ethically, politically and legally the relationships with all living beings: human and non-human.

El texto presenta los cristianismos como un amplio conjunto de diversas tradiciones o movimientos eclesiales que se han construido y que, todavía se construyen a lo largo de su complejo devenir histórico mundial de más de veinte siglos. Hablando en plural, el autor argumenta que en la realidad histórica y social existen cristianismos no solamente diversos, sino también contrapuestos, desarrollados en muy diferentes contextos culturales y eclesiales. De esta forma, también las iglesias deben ser consideradas en sus diversidades, para reconocer y respetar la rica pluralidad manifestada en polimorfas estructuras institucionales, celebraciones litúrgicas y expresiones confesionales y magisterios.
The effect of cryogenic treatment on some chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of Thermowood® Oriental spruce
Authors: Aytin Ayhan , Uygur İlyas , Demirci Tuna , Akgül İrfan
Published: October 2022

Effects of cryogenic treatment on the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of oriental spruce wood, which was heat-treated with the Thermowood® method, were investigated in this work. Cryogenic treatment, which is a secondary process applied to industrially heat-treated ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials, was applied to Thermowood® Oriental spruce wood. For this purpose, Oriental spruce wood was first heat-treated at two different temperatures (190 and 212 °C), and then both Thermowood® and control samples were cryogenically treated at -80 °C. The effects on shrinkage and swelling pressure resistance parallel to fibers, and the elemental structure were examined. The findings revealed that the improvement in shrinkage and swelling continued with heat treatment, and there was an average increase of 18 and 14.5%, respectively, in the compressive strength parallel to fibers compared with control and heat-treated samples. The FT-IR analysis showed that the wood compound structure was mostly cellulosic. The difference between the carbon-oxygen ratio in the cryogenically-treated wood decreased compared to the percentage change in the three basic elements, and the amount of hydrogen increased proportionally.
The Construction of Lithuanian Prison Sentence Assumptions in Critical Criminology Perspective: an Analysis of the Goals of Imprisonment
Authors: Aleknevičienė Jolanta , Kalinauskaitė Ignė , Matačiūtė Loreta
Published: October 2022

The declared aims of custodial sentencing worldwide and in Lithuania are to protect society from crime and reduce recidivism; it is agreed that these aims can be achieved only when the duration of imprisonment is devoted to the prisoner’s gradual return to society (UNODC 2015). However, the newest Lithuanian strategic documents note that the sentencing system does not promote the change of prisoners’ criminal habits, offender resocialization is fragmented, and prison staff carries out offender protection and surveillance, not resocialization and social help (LR Vyriausybė 2021b). By building upon the ideas of social constructionism tradition (Berger and Luckmann 1999) and critical criminology (Christie 1999; Hulsman 1997; Quinney 2004; Mathiesen 2006), this paper analyzes the aims of custodial sentencing in the context of Lithuanian penal system’s reform and specifies possible implementational problems of declared aims of imprisonment. Document analysis showed that the raising and naming of imprisonment problems are conditioned by the commitment to international organizations and projects, as well as the cascading aims of the Lithuanian political agenda. In Lithuania, the purposes of custodial sentencing continue to be relatively general and instrumental. They are used to justify current and future means of reform while it is expected of correctional facilities to provide long-term positive influences on a person and fulfill quantitative indicators. We presume that resocialization and social integration ideas, as the main declared aim of custodial sentencing, are “imprisoned” in political discourse, which lacks critical analysis and does not provide much chance for success.

Authors: H Mamuya Simon , C Sabuni Epaphroditus
Published: October 2022

Background: Cement manufacturing is among the growing industry in Tanzania. It involves processes from blending, kiln burning, clinker, grinding and cement final production. All of these cement manufacturing processes generates cement dust which contain silica and other toxic materials which can potentially affect respiratory system of exposed workers. Methods: This cross sectional comparative study design was conducted at cement processing factory and Ndanda mineral water processing factory as control, all of these factories are located in Mtwara region in Tanzania. A total of 398 workers were selected randomly from these two factories. Data were collected using structured questionnaires for respiratory health symptoms, Checklists was used for the observational parameters. Dust sampling was done using Side Kick Casella (SKC) pumps and PVC filter on IOM cassettes was used to determine dust exposures. The analysis was done by SPSS program vers 20. The significant association between the dependent variable and the factors was registered when Pvalue was less the 0.05. Results: Packing and cleaner were the sections with higher total cement dust concentrations above Occupational Exposure Limit which were 33.24 and 15.39 mg/m3 respectively. Workers in cement processing factory were exposed to higher levels of total dust with AM 14.1033 mg/m3 (SD 4.357) than in mineral water processing factory AM 0.0867 mg/m3 (SD 0.035). The Prevalence of respiratory symptoms was higher among workers in cement processing factory (45.7%) than in mineral water processing factory (25%), this was statistically significant. Conclusion: Exposure to cement dust in a working environment causes the increase in work related respiratory symptoms and reduced lung function. A control measure to decrease the dust exposure level among cement workers in line with periodic medical examination is highly needed.
A cidade temperou a alma do morro
Authors: Gasparotto Lucas André
Published: October 2022

Este trabalho busca demonstrar a historicidade da construção do samba carioca como símbolo da nação brasileira analisando a obra Samba, sua história, seus poetas, seus músicos e seus cantores, de autoria de Orestes Barbosa, publicada em 1933. Inserida no contexto de intensa discussão acerca da definição dos elementos que poderiam ser considerados nacionais durante os anos 1920 e 1930, a obra é analisada enquanto formação discursiva nacionalista de inspiração romântica no âmbito da música. O discurso ali presente expõe uma tensão no interior do debate daquele contexto, observada através da articulação entre distintas temporalidades, que evocam a tradição ou a modernidade enquanto categorias de “tempo-espaço” qualificadoras do samba carioca como símbolo da nacionalidade. Contudo, mais do que se colocarem em posições diametralmente opostas, as temporalidades ali evocadas interpenetram-se como se estivessem em uma zona de intersecção. Ao sugerir que nos morros da cidade do Rio de Janeiro se preserva a pureza do samba, Orestes Barbosa transforma o gênero musical numa espécie de “folclore urbano”, já que idealiza um espaço da cidade como lócus da tradição, à semelhança das áreas rurais produtoras de manifestações folclóricas tidas como nacionais no contexto das décadas de 1920 e 1930.

El estudio histórico e histórico jurídico de los procesos por brujería y otros crímenes como la licantropía o el culto satánico son muy difíciles porque en algunos países, como Francia, las actas de los juicios eran quemadas junto al condenado. Además, la mezcla de hechos, ideas religiosas y supersticiones incrementa todavía más el número de los problemas que el estudio de estos juicios trae consigo.

En este artículo, partiendo del libro de Jean Wier De praestigiis daemonum, se analiza el juicio contra Pierre y Michel, dos hombres lobo de la ciudad de Besançon en la Francia del siglo XVI. Jean Wier escribió un extenso resumen de esas actas judiciales y estudió la verosimilitud de los cargos imputados. Jean Wier, un médico católico y un humanista que vivió en la Europa de las guerras de religión del siglo XVI, negó el valor de los juicios por brujería, licantropía y cultos satánicos, porque creía que los hechos imaginarios de las acusaciones muchas veces no eran más que invenciones de pobres e ignorantes campesinos.

Las demandas que plantean ecólogos y conservacionistas en cuanto al planeamiento urbano y arquitectura son muchas y variadas, algunas de ellas coinciden con el sentir mayoritario de nuestra sociedad. Es ahí donde arquitectos y urbanistas, que diseñan el medio urbano para permitir la supervivencia de la especie humana y su cultura, deben asumir su responsabilidad y, superando esa supuesta contradicción entre ciudad y territorio, definir una serie de pautas sobre cuáles son los crecimientos razonables y cómo deben realizarse, así mismo, es imprescindible tener en cuenta en el diseño una serie de criterios, casi todos ellos bastante sencillos, cuya adecuada combinación permitan hacer arquitecturas razonables, que además pueden y deben constituirse como aportaciones significativas desde el punto de vista del diseño.

Light quality is known to affects numerous plants’ physiological and metabolic processes during development period, including photosynthesis and morphogenesis. Light properties such as light wavelength has been optimized for several cultivated crops. In this study, the effects of LED light wavelengths blue and red on both photosynthetic performance and morphology of Gerbera jamesonii plantlets was investigated. The results showed the photosynthesis efficiency via the photo-pigment system and mediated regulation of rubisco activase encoding gene (RCA) mechanism was significantly enhanced by blue light. The expression of RCA was approximatly 2.7 times higher than those under red light. In contrast, chlorophyll contents, CO2 assimilation, total carbohydrate and RCA expression was reduced under red wavelength. However, both single-wavelengths caused a dramatically negative impact on G. jamesonii. Total chlorophyll/carotenoid value or higher carotenoid contents was lower under blue light; fragile petioles and drawrfism morphology was occurred under red and blue LED, respectively. The combination of blue and red light in the lighting spectrum significantly improved the limitations of single-wavelength. The supplement of blue light under red light background (at blue LED and red LED ratio = 1:4) improved plant photosynthesis while maintained the normal morphology of plants, although the expression of RCA and net photosynthesis of plants in BR LED was lower than in the control. Our results obviously provide the scientific evidences for requirement of LED light in micropropagation or canopy culture of G. jamesonii.
Creating an Epistemically Diverse Undergraduate Linguistics Curriculum
Authors: Bowles Tracy Nicole , de Vos Mark
Published: October 2022

This article outlines the implementation of a service-learning course, Linguistics and Community, in a linguistics combined, second- and third-year curriculum. Adopting a qualitative, textual-analytic methodology using Luckett (2001) as an analytical lens, supplemented by quantitative data, we set out to enlist service-learning as one useful means to attain an epistemically diverse linguistics curriculum with reciprocal benefits for both students and community partners. Using a purposive sample, we triangulated data from two data sources: students' reflective journals and an online questionnaire. Our findings showed that the Linguistics and Community service-learning course allowed students to engage in experiential learning, cross-cultural experiences, and become involved with issues related to community building. In doing so, the course exposed students to the relevance of linguistics in everyday life. We argue that a thoughtfully constructed disciplinary-based service-learning programme can be a useful tool in fostering epistemic diversity within a specific discipline such as linguistics and contribute towards the decolonisation of the discipline.
Effects of a systemic insecticide on stretching and production of wax in domestic bees Apis mellifera intermissa in Northen Africa (Algeria)

Imidacloprid is a well-known systemic insecticide which has a deleterious impact on honeybees. Beekeepers in the Tizi-Ouzou wilaya (Algeria) where the imidacloprid insecticide is used, report unusual losses and deaths of bee colonies. Even at sublethal doses, insecticid can impact the most crucial tasks of a bee colony such as comb building. This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of an imidacloprid based insecticide (Confidor®Supra) on the production of wax by the honeybee Apis mellifera intermissa. After the imidacloprid LD50 was determined in controlled conditions, three sublethal doses were tested. The mortality, the syrup consumption and the weight of the wax generated were recorded.

The imidacloprid insecticide LD50 at 48 hours was evaluated at 3.5 ng.per bee on 4 days old spring worker bees. We found that the three sublethal doses (0.175 mg.L-1, 0.087 mg.L-1 and 0.035 mg.L-1) had an impact on the syrup consumption and the wax production by adult bees. Bees exposed to sublethal doses of insecticide consumed less syrup and produced less wax that the control bees. A dose response was observed regarding the production of wax.

The reduction of wax production by bees caused by an exposure to an imidacloprid based insecticide ads up to the many other effects of imidacloprid described in the literature.  This kind of impact could have harmful consequences for bee colonies as wax production is the basis of nest building. The physiological causes of the reduction of wax production remain to be investigated.
