A equiparação da homofobia ao crime de racismo no Brasil análise à Luz do voto do Ministro Celso de Mello
Authors: Oliveira Kelvi da Silva
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho examina a relevante decisão de equiparar a homofobia ao crime de racismo no contexto jurídico brasileiro, com especial atenção ao voto proferido pelo Ministro Celso de Mello. O estudo analisa as bases legais e conceituais dessa equiparação, destacando como a homofobia, segundo o entendimento do Ministro, transcende a esfera individual e configura uma forma de discriminação que atenta contra princípios fundamentais da sociedade. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma análise abrangente e aprofundada sobre a equiparação da homofobia ao crime de racismo no Brasil, focalizando especialmente o voto proferido pelo Ministro Celso de Mello. Do ponto de vista metodológico, este estudo adota uma abordagem qualitativa, sendo caracterizado como descritivo e explicativo. Utiliza o método de estudo de caso único, focando em aspectos subjetivos relacionados aos fenômenos sociais. A análise crítica desse posicionamento considera a interseção de duas categorias essenciais: discriminação e igualdade social. Ao reconhecer a homofobia como crime de racismo, busca-se não apenas a punição de atos discriminatórios, mas também a promoção de uma transformação social que valorize a diversidade e repudie práticas discriminatórias. Como resultados e conclusões, foi possível compreender que os indivíduos LGBT+ têm moldado suas próprias narrativas e estilos de vida devido à sua condição de serem percebidos como uma minoria na sociedade. Esses sujeitos enfrentam uma batalha contínua pela conquista de direitos, garantias e uma representatividade mais significativa. Essa luta se torna essencial para alcançar espaços sociais que promovam a inclusão e o respeito, especialmente à luz das implicações legais decorrentes da mencionada decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), conforme discutido no voto do Ministro Celso de Mello.

Introdução: A saúde mental é essencial para o bem-estar da população e um componente estratégico da Atenção Primária
à Saúde (APS) no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Este estudo aborda a gestão da saúde mental na APS, considerando
desigualdades sociais, limitações de recursos e a necessidade de estratégias sustentáveis que garantam acesso equitativo e
cuidado integral. A pandemia de COVID-19 agravou as condições de saúde mental, evidenciando lacunas nas políticas
públicas e na integração dos serviços. Objetivo: Analisar as estratégias de gestão da saúde mental na APS, com foco na
integração de tecnologias, capacitação de profissionais e fortalecimento de políticas públicas, identificando práticas eficazes
e desafios enfrentados no SUS. Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica exploratória e descritiva em
bases de dados como SciELO, PubMed e Google Scholar. Foram utilizados os termos: “saúde mental no SUS”, “atenção
básica”, e “políticas públicas inclusivas”. Os critérios de inclusão abrangeram artigos publicados entre 2018 e 2024 em
português. Após triagem, 6 artigos foram analisados. Resultados e Discussão: A Lei no 10.216/2001 priorizou a
desinstitucionalização, promovendo os Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS), mas desafios como a fragmentação dos
serviços e a escassez de recursos permanecem. A Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS) ampliou a integração entre
dispositivos de cuidado, porém enfrenta dificuldades de articulação. A Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (PNAB) reforça

o papel da APS, mas a sobrecarga de trabalho e a falta de capacitação limitam sua implementação. Tecnologias como o e-
SUS apresentam potencial, mas carecem de infraestrutura adequada. Conclusão: O fortalecimento da APS na saúde mental

é essencial para consolidar um SUS mais inclusivo e eficiente. Superar barreiras como a falta de recursos, o racismo
institucional e a carência de políticas inclusivas requer articulação entre tecnologias, capacitação e estratégias de equidade.

This study investigated the idea of using pyrolysis to convert plastic waste into an alternative fuel oil. The thermal and catalytic conversion of polypropylene waste plastic to fuel oil was investigated. The catalyst used was aluminum chloride on activated carbon. The experiment was conducted in two different phases. The first phase was done without a catalyst, and 83.10 cm3 of oil was produced at a maximum temperature of 300 °C and a reaction time of 3 hours. The oil yield was 41.55%. The second phase was done using aluminum chloride on an activated carbon catalyst, and 108.46 cm3 of oil was obtained at a maximum temperature of 300 °C and a reaction time of 2 hours. The oil yield was 54.23%. The amount of char product was also determined to be 0.3 g for the experiment done without a catalyst and 0.2 g for the experiment done with a catalyst. From the results, catalytic pyrolysis is more efficient than purely thermal pyrolysis. The fuel properties of the fuel oil were also investigated, and a comparison was made with the properties of diesel oil. The fuel oil showed similar characteristics to diesel oil. The study concluded that applying catalytic pyrolysis at a given temperature produced more oil products and that the degradation of plastics began at a lower temperature than with thermal pyrolysis alone. In light of this, the study suggested that pyrolysis be used as an alternative to combustion and incineration since it is known to create fewer hazardous byproducts and may also be used to recover fuel and other valuable raw materials.

Published: January 2025

Achieving sustainable consumption and production (SCP) patterns is crucial for realizing sustainable development, aligning with the sustainable development goals 2030. However, the absence of comprehensive and unified metrics detailing SCP strategies poses a challenge, and current literature often lacks SCP-specific dimensions, merging them with broader sustainability concepts. Furthermore, existing sustainability models lack clarity on responsible actors and their role in balancing these dimensions. This research addresses these gaps by scrutinizing current sustainability and sustainable development models. It introduces the ‘womb approach,’ proposing distinct dimensions for sustainable development and SCP patterns. The study also formulates a unified strategy list adaptable to organizations of varying sizes and types, facilitating SCP pattern implementation.

Published: January 2025

The development of high levels of mathematical competence at an early age is a good predictor of academic success at higher levels of the education system. In this sense, the initial training of primary school teachers and, in particular, the achievement of high levels of self-regulation when solving mathematical problems is crucial to achieve this goal. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a teaching-learning proposal based on the principles of cooperative learning on the level of self-regulation exhibited by primary education students when faced with mathematical problems. The study was carried out on a sample of 117 students in the first year of the University of the Basque Country’s primary education degree using a scale validated for this purpose with good psychometric properties as an instrument for measuring levels of self-regulation. The results obtained show that the students’ level of self-regulation improves significantly after implementation. Likewise, differences are observed from the perspective of the gender of the participants in relation to the attitude towards the statement of a mathematical problem and the ability to ask for help.

Published: January 2025

The application of heat-treatment-free cast aluminum alloys in automotive structural parts is increasing, but their weldability is still unclear. This paper explores the resistance spot welding (RSW) of the heat-treatment-free die-casting aluminum alloy C611 utilizing an innovative welding electrode integrated with preheating and postheating techniques. The single pulse, preheating, and postheating pulse processes were designed. Moreover, the effects of the welding procedure on the weld’s morphology, microstructure, and properties were compared and analyzed. Results showed that the single pulse welding process was prone to generating weld defects such as internal porosity and expulsion, and the joint strength was relatively low. By applying proper preheating and postheating pulses, welding defects could be effectively suppressed, and the width of the columnar fine grain zone could be reduced, which improved the performance of the equiaxed grain zone (EGZ) by 20%. The weld’s tensile shear performance and energy absorption were increased by 11.7% and 38.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the optimized electrode’s unique shape helped stabilize the size of the nugget’s EGZ.

Published: January 2025

AISI 422 martensitic stainless steel with superior hightemperature performance (oxidation resistance and strength) is under evaluation for replacing current heavy-duty piston crown materials, AISI 4140 martensitic steel and microalloyed steel (MAS) 38MnSiVS5, to fabricate a multimaterial piston (Refs. 1, 2). This multimaterial piston concept further improved power density and fuel economy by allowing heavyduty diesel engines to operate at higher temperatures and pressures (Ref. 3). Joining AISI 422 steel piston crowns with AISI 4140 steel piston skirts is a key manufacturing step for this multimaterial piston. However, the significant differences in strength, elevated temperature flow stress, alloy chemistry, and temper resistance between these two martensitic steels cause some weldability issues (cracking) and metallurgical challenges (alloying element migration/segregation) when using conventional fusion-based welding processes (Refs. 4–6). Rotary inertia friction welding (RIFW), a solid-state welding process, has been the preferred method to join 4140 crowns to 4140 skirts (and MAS crowns to MAS skirts) in high-volume production of current heavy-duty diesel engine pistons. It has been used to join these two materials with relatively comparable alloy chemistry to fabricate pistons with MAS skirts and 4140 crowns. Meanwhile, RIFW has also been a preferred method of dissimilar metal welding (Refs. 7, 8). However, RIFW of dissimilar high-strength martensitic steels has yet to be widely pursued. The interfacial microstructure complexities created by the thermomechanical process and highly nonequilibrium phase transformations during RIFW are a significant challenge for understanding and predicting their joining behavior and have not been reported in detail. In this work, defect-free AISI 422 steel-AISI 4140 multimaterial pistons were successfully fabricated using the RIFW process. The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of dissimilar 422/4140 steel RIFW in the as-welded condition were experimentally studied in detail. The results provide critical baseline information for understanding RIFW mechanisms and guiding subsequent postweld heat treatment (PWHT) practice.

Foliar application of metal nanoparticles represents a promising strategy for enhancing both yield and nutritional quality in horticultural crops. This study focused on the foliar application of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) across a range of concentrations (0, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 mg L-1) and assessed their impact on the yield and nutraceutical profile of melon fruits. Our findings revealed specific effects at different concentration levels: lower concentrations (150 mg L) improved yield and biophysical quality; intermediate concentrations (250 mg L) enhanced enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants; while higher concentrations (300–350 mg L) resulted in reduced yield and enzymatic activity, accompanied by elevated Zn concentration in melon pulp. The utilization of ZnO NPs presents a viable avenue for enhancing both the biophysical quality and antioxidant content of melon fruits. However, it is crucial to note that their effects are dose-dependent, capable of inducing either beneficial or inhibitory outcomes. Consequently, further comprehensive investigations are warranted to elucidate optimal application dosages and maximize the potential benefits of ZnO NPs in horticultural production.

Published: January 2025

Una de las propiedades destacadas en un sustrato es el pH, el cual debe controlarse para mantener niveles entre 5,3 y 6,5 y así posibilitar la producción platines de calidad. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron evaluar estrategias para que el pH del sustrato a base de compost de corteza de pino (SCCP) se mantenga en el rango adecuado y comprobar su efecto sobre la calidad de plantines de yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.). Se conformaron seis tratamientos: T1= SCCP con pH corregido y aplicación de suspensión dolomítica (SD) durante el cultivo; T2= SCCP con pH sin corrección y aplicación de SD durante el cultivo; T3= SCCP con pH corregido y aplicación de nitrato de calcio (NC) durante el cultivo; T4= SCCP con pH sin corrección y aplicación de NC durante el cultivo; T5= SCCP con pH corregido y T6= SCCP con pH sin corrección. Al finalizar el ensayo se midió la masa seca aérea (MSA) y radical (MSR), longitud y diámetro del tallo, elementos minerales en hoja, conductividad eléctrica y pH del sustrato. T1, T3 y T5 se mantuvieron dentro del rango adecuado de pH hasta el final del ensayo. T2 y T4 tuvieron un pH inicial bajo (4,13), pero sólo T2 finalizó dentro del rango deseado (5,34). Las variables morfológicas de los plantines de T6 tuvieron los menores valores. La MSA fue mayor en T1 (2,52 g) y T5 (2,61 g), en coincidencia con el mayor contenido de Ca y Mg foliar. Corregir el pH del SCCP con dolomita antes de su uso y aplicar SD al SCCP no corregido durante el cultivo fueron estrategias efectivas para producir plantines de yerba mate de buena calidad.

Published: January 2025

The Ethiopian agriculture sector, supporting over 85% of the population's livelihood, has been severely impacted by armed conflict, disrupting nearly every element of its value chain. Key direct impacts of conflict include the destruction of essential assets like farmland, livestock, crops, seed reserves, and critical infrastructure. This study aims to evaluate the war’s effect on agricultural inputs, management practices, and services in selected districts within South Wollo, northeastern Ethiopia, and to propose viable mitigation strategies. Both primary and secondary data were gathered, with primary data collected through surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews with key informants. Quantitative data were analyzed using SAS software, while qualitative data were examined through descriptive and narrative methods. The conflict has damaged agricultural inputs, management practices, infrastructure, and services, including irrigation canals, farmer training centers, veterinary services, and nursery sites, significantly exacerbating food insecurity. Agrochemical supplies were impacted for 53% of respondents, while 66.5% reported disruption in livestock management practices. Total irrigation infrastructure and agricultural institution damage in South Wollo was estimated at 17,988.90 million Ethiopian birrs (ETB). Therefore, immediate actions for the restoration of damaged agricultural infrastructures, institutions, and services are necessary, along with reinstating agricultural inputs, capacity building and community engagement, monitoring and evaluation, and networking and partnerships. These recommendations should be tailored based on the local context, existing conditions, and available resources. Engaging with communities to understand their unique needs and preferences is essential in making these initiatives effective and sustainable.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of different levels of maize silage on feed utilization efficiency and nitrogen (N) balance in dual-purpose cows during the dry season. Nine crossbred cows with live weight of 423±12 kg were used. The treatments were: T1= 2 kg DM of maize silage + 3.9 kg DM of sorghum stubble; T2= 4 kg DM of maize silage + 1.8 kg DM of sorghum stubble; T3= 6 kg DM of maize silage. Additionally, all cows consumed Panicum maximum cv. Mombasa grass, supplemented with poultry manure and commercial concentrate in doses of 2.0, 2.9 and 2.3 kg DM, respectively. Data comparison was performed by ANOVA, and the experiment was conducted using a completely randomised mathematical model with three replicates. No significant differences (p >0.05) were observed for any of the variables evaluated. N intake reached 279.8 g day–1 of which 8.5% was excreted in milk, 42.1% in faeces and 41.2% in urine. Milk production was 4.4 kg cow–1 day–1, with 33.1 g kg–1 fat and 34.4 g kg–1 crude protein (CP). N balance was 27.5 g cow–1 day–1, while utilization efficiency reached 8.6%. A higher inclusion of maize silage increased CP and N contents of the diet supplied to the cows, but it did not result in higher milk production. Feed utilization efficiency was limited even in the treatment with the lowest N content in the ration (T1). Further research is required to evaluate the economic and productive viability of the dietary inclusion of different silages, as a feeding strategy to cope with the low availability of forages during dry periods in low-scale milk production systems.

Published: January 2025

The development of the times has made many changes in society. If in the past music was considered contrary to the surrounding culture, the situation is different now. At this time the existence of music is very important, because it can provide stimulation for children to be creative through the art of music. The use of music will make children more free in expressing or expressing their feelings. Schools are also starting to provide music learning materials, although in practice this is not free from the challenges they face. Whether it's from teachers who don't have a music background, or the process of digesting children or students who are different. Therefore, to start piano learning activities, a warm-up is carried out using major and minor scale techniques. The aim is for each child to practice their piano playing, while also flexing their fingers; wrist; elbow; as well as shoulders. Qualitative methods were used to study this problem. So we came to the conclusion that the role of warming up using major and minor scale techniques is to support their learning process when studying music

Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the integration of traditional Lombok music, particularly the "Selober," into modern music through a unique composition titled *Lagu Hakikat Cinta* by Prof. Madya Azam Sulong. Employing a practical-based research design supported by document analysis, this project is structured into two main phases to achieve a coherent blend of traditional and contemporary elements. In the initial phase, the distinctive sounds of the Selober instrument were recorded and inputted into the digital audio workstation software *Sample One* to preserve its authentic timbre. Following this, in the second phase, the Selober sound was transformed and layered into four distinct tracks: Track Selober Transpose-12, Track Selober Delay, Track Selober Reverse, and Track Selober Snare. Each track reflects a different aspect of musical adaptation, allowing the traditional tones to harmonize with modern music elements. This method enabled the creation of a dynamic fusion, merging Selober’s traditional tones with digital sound effects, resulting in a distinctive piece that embodies cultural heritage within a modern musical framework. The final output, available in mp3 format, highlights the potential of digital technology in revitalizing traditional music and underscores its adaptability within contemporary musical landscapes.

Authors: Purnomo Raafi Akbar Putra , Hasanah Yeti Rusmiati , Damajanti Neni
Published: January 2025

The high consumption of fruit flesh from the snake fruit is not in line with the utilization of fruit peels, which are often considered organic waste that goes to waste. The lack of optimal utilization of fruit peels as organic waste can open up opportunities to develop other alternatives, such as using fruit peels as a source of pectin. The extraction of pectin from fruit peels is carried out using the maceration extraction method with citric acid as the solvent. This research aims to determine the effect of the solvent material ratio and solvent concentration, as well as to understand the characteristics of the resulting pectin product. The results of this study indicate that among the variations in the ratio of materials and solvents, the highest %yield was achieved at a ratio of 1:40 (gr/mL) with a %yield value of 13.15%. In the variations of solvent concentration, the highest pectin %yield was at a concentration of 10% with a %yield value of 17.5%. The characteristics of the produced pectin were the highest equivalent weight of 114.94 mg, the highest methoxyl content of 9.92%, and the highest galacturonic acid content of 1063.04%. Functional group analysis using FTIR showed the presence of the O-H functional group at a wavelength of 3255 cm-1, the aliphatic C-H functional group at a wavelength of 2808 cm-1, the carboxyl (C=O) functional group at 1838 cm-1, and the methyl C-H functional group at a wavelength of 1442 cm-1. Therefore, the best research results were found at 1:40 and a solvent concentration of 10% with the highest %yield, equivalent weight, methoxyl content, and galacturonic acid content
Developing the Field of Behavioral Nonprofit Management
Authors: Qu Heng , Mason Dyana
Published: January 2025

We define behavioral nonprofit management as the study of the micro-foundations of nonprofit management through analyzing the behavior and attitudes of individuals and groups in the context of nonprofit organizations. While nonprofit management research traditionally relies on administrative or survey data and is primarily concerned with organizational and environmental variables at the meso- and macro- level, the behavioral approach focuses on individuals, such as donors, volunteers, employees, managers, board members, and recipients/clients working either individually or collectively. This article reviews the current status of behavioral research in the interdisciplinary field of nonprofit, voluntary action, and philanthropic studies, and argues that nonprofit scholarship would benefit from engaging more explicitly in behavioral approaches for theoretical development and empirical testing. We recommend using experiments and other methods to advance theories through understanding the behavioral foundations of nonprofit organizations and voluntary actions. We envision the goal of behavioral nonprofit management informing not only nonprofit management practice but also public policies that aim to increase individual, community and societal well-being.
Compliance Spending Aversion
Authors: Samahita Margaret , Lades Leonhard
Published: January 2025

Charities are increasingly required to spend more resources on administrative tasks to comply with regulations. Given previous findings on donors’ overhead aversion, namely that donors avoid giving to charities with a high ratio of overhead relative to program spending, we investigate whether donors also penalize charities that spend high shares of donations on administrative compliance tasks, despite these tasks being outside the charities’ control. The results of an incentivized online experiment with a nationally representative sample from Ireland (n=1,032) suggest that donors are averse to compliance spending and that this aversion is almost as strong as the aversion to other types of overhead. Our findings indicate that well-intended regulations may have the unintended consequence of reducing charitable giving. They also suggest that reducing administrative burden for charities might increase donations. Quantifying how much charities spend on administrative compliance tasks may provide useful insights to inform decisions about the optimal level and process of charity regulation.
Public administration meets artificial intelligence: Towards a meaningful behavioral research agenda on algorithmic decision-making in government
Authors: Alon-Barkat Saar , Busuioc Madalina
Published: January 2025

Our contribution aims to propose a novel research agenda for behavioural public administration (BPA) regarding one of the most important developments in the public sector nowadays: the incorporation of artificial intelligence into public sector decision-making. We argue that this raises the prospect of distinct set of biases and challenges for decision-makers and citizens, that arise in the human-algorithm interaction, and that thus far remain under- investigated in a bureaucratic context. While BPA scholars have focused on human biases and data scientists on ‘machine bias’, algorithmic decision-making arises at the intersection between the two. In light of the growing reliance on algorithmic systems in the public sector, fundamentally shaping the way governments make and implement policy decisions, and given the high-stakes nature of their application in these settings, it becomes pressing to remedy this oversight. We argue that behavioural public administration is well-positioned to contribute to critical aspects of this debate. Accordingly, we identify concrete avenues for future research, and develop theoretical propositions.
Short and sweet: Measuring experiences of administrative burden
Authors: Jilke Sebastian , Bækgaard Martin , Herd Pamela , Moynihan Donald
Published: January 2025

Emerging research on administrative burden has highlighted the need for survey measures that capture people’s experience of government as onerous. Such indicators can connect research and practice, and fulfill government mandates to identify and reduce burdens. This study presents a measure of experienced administrative burden, based on a survey of social welfare users. Using psychometric scale development techniques and a split sample approach, we develop both a single-item and three-item scale that can be applied in user surveys for both research and practitioner purposes. We use predictive validity tests to assess both measures, finding that people are more likely to report burden when they have poorer health, lower education, financial scarcity, are younger and have less program-specific experience. We also provide evidence to demonstrate how the measure captures burden distinct from the customer experience indicators used by the US federal government, while also being shorter and thus less burdensome for respondents.
Decreasing compliance costs using behavioral interventions: An evaluation of lead testing in Chicago
Authors: Souders Sarah , Lopoo Leonard , Mirpuri Sheena , Schwer Patrick , Cardon Emily
Published: January 2025

Exposure to lead is a well-documented public health concern. One source of exposure is water transported via lead pipes. As the city with the most lead service lines, Chicago offers at-home lead testing. However, at-home testing is a multi-step process with considerable compliance costs for residents who choose to engage with the city’s service. This study has two components designed to reduce compliance costs: a randomized control trial (RCT) testing the effectiveness of a text message reminder on lead test kit returns and a pre/post evaluation of the redesign of instructions for completing the lead testing kit. Results show the text reminder increased test kit returns by more than 200 percent and the redesigned kits increased use by 20 percent. Subsequent analyses show that the text message intervention was equally effective across the income distribution. These large, universal effect sizes indicate the usefulness of behavioral interventions to reduce resident compliance costs in multi-step processes at the local level.

Development of Competence Component in Course of Training of Forensic Experts with Consideration to Psychological Analysis of the Expert’s Activities
Authors: Kharlamova O. A.
Published: January 2025

The introduction of modern technologies requires an expert to improve his knowledge, skills and abilities which is not possible without qualified development of his expert knowledge and competence. The analysis of literature sources has shown that the majority of scientists adhere to the opinion that the knowledge and competence of an expert should be developed in the process of professional training. As a rule, this position is only justified from the point of view of the forensic examination theory, while the psychological aspect of knowledge and competence of an expert remains without due attention. Thus it is important to study the psychology of forensic activities in terms of developing the expert competence.

As part of the educational process, future experts study the psychology of professional activity, but the information received is not sufficient to develop professional skills. During training there is no immersion in the specific nature of psychological knowledge about forensic activities and therefore, from our point of view, this educational process needs to be revised. For a good insight into pshycological features of the expert’s activities, the trainees should study them taking into account psychological knowledge and paying attention to mutual influence of two academic disciplines (psychology and forensic science) as well as to the psychological structure of a forensic expert personality, its structural components and psychological interaction with other participants in the process, simultaneously developing an expert way of thinking and inner conviction. This training process should result in acquiring the relevant knowledge and subsequent development of skills related to the competence component of the expert’s activities.
Forensic Analysis of Marijuana: Approaches to Establishing Belonging to Previously Separated Plant Mass
Authors: Khokh A. N. , Voskanyan P. S. , Petrosyan A. A.
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of the studies of dried and crushed marijuana using nearinfrared spectroscopy and spore-pollen analysis for solving an expert task of establishing the affiliation to previously separated plant masses. The recording of near-infrared spectra of expert samples has been carried out. The possibility of interpreting spectral data using discriminant analysis of projections on latent structures is shown. The taxonomic composition of 8 435 pollen grains and spores has been determined, as well as the quantitative content of each taxon.

 According to the results of the conducted research, it was concluded that the application of a complex of independent and complementary methods allows to obtain the necessary and sufficient number of matching signs that can be recognized as unique for identification. The proposed research scheme can be also applied to other narcotics of plant origin.
Shoeprints on Shoe covers Obtained Using Special Thermal Devices as Objects of Traceological Forensic Examination
Authors: Latyshov I. V.
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the issues of traceological forensic examination of shoeprints generated while putting shoe covers upon shoes using special thermal devices, and during subsequent walking in shoes. A sole surface shoeprint appears on the shoe as a result of transfer of dust, oil and other substances’ layering on the shoe sole from road surfacing. The peculiarity of the formation mechanism of these traces points to the heating of the polyvinyl chloride film of the shoe cover at the time of the shoeprint formation on the shoe cover, as well as to the fact of wearing shoes with shoe covers on. While wearing shoes, after the shoeprint formation on the shoe covers, the sole of the shoes repeatedly contacts with the shoe covers and, accordingly, with the shoeprints already being on them. The contact frequency is determined by the time of walking and the number of steps taken while wearing the shoes. It is noted that the repeated contact interaction of the shoe sole and the surface shoeprint on the shoe cover leads to chafing and trampling of the shoeprint and to deterioration of its quality. This results in reducing the sharpness (blurring) of the outline elements of the shoeprint pattern, changing their contour shape and fading of most of the sole surface microrelief features in the shoeprints. When solving the issue of identity of the shoe which formed the shoeprint in the shoe cover, it is proposed to pay special attention to the signs of the shoe sole wear, visualized in the shoeprints in the form of scuff zones. They are exactly the ones selectable for distinction of the final shoeprint pattern blurred by the multiple contact of the sole with the shoe cover. To increase the effectiveness of comparing shoeprints on the shoe covers with experimental shoeprints, it is recommended to use the technique of constructing templates – the geometric patterns taking into account the signs of localization, shape, size of wear zones, and the relative location display of these zones in the shoeprint.
Modern Expert Technologies for Detection and Examination of Crime Traces
Authors: Nikitina I. E.
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes modern expert technologies for detection and examination of traces of crime in complex investigative circumstances. The expediency of developing the topic is determined by the fact that the modern expert technologies indicated by many authors are not widespread enough, and a systematic approach to the detection and examination of traces has not been implemented. It is necessary to familiarize researchers and practitioners with a wide range of capabilities of the modern approach to working with traces using world-class innovations and technologies.

The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fact that, based on an empirical approach, the state-of-theart technical and theoretical developments have been identified in the field of expert technologies, which are not yet widely used neither in theoretical recommendations nor in practical activities of investigators. The methodology and the technique of the examination are based on the deductive model of the scientific method and consist in observation, synthesis, analysis, systematization and deduction, followed by formalization done within the framework of practical activities.

What are students’ thoughts on their activities and thinking skills in learning science?
Authors: Pranata Ogi Danika , Novalia Rifyal
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to analyze and correlate students’ perceptions of their activities and thinking skills in learning science, as well as compare these perceptions based on school levels. Using descriptive, correlational, and comparative methods, data were collected from 127 students from senior high school and university through a questionnaire containing 52 statements. Descriptive statistics provided an overview of the data, while Pearson’s test analyzed the relationship between students’ perceptions of their activities and thinking skills. An independent sample t-test compared data based on school levels. The results indicated that students perceived their activities as active (mean value of 3.52) and their thinking skills as experienced (mean value of 3.51). A perception of learning activities was correlated with a more perception of thinking skills, although the relationship was not strong (r = 0.357, ρ = 0.000). University students generally had higher perceptions across most activities compared to high school students, suggesting that high school educators might consider adopting some university-level strategies, particularly for motor, emotional, and visual activities, to enhance student engagement and perception. However, there were no significant differences in average perceptions of thinking skills between high school and university students, except for a significant result in likelihood and uncertainty analysis, which highlights a specific area for further investigation. Understanding students’ perceptions of their thinking skills can help educators focus on specific areas for improvement and comprehend how educational transitions impact students’ views on their thinking abilities.
Transformative professional learning: Critical affinity groups for veteran K-12 Teachers of Color
Authors: Gonzalez Kimberly Ann
Published: January 2025

As teachers gain experience beyond the first one third of their career (approximately 7 to 10 years), students not only make academic gains, but they also make non-academic gains such attendance improvements, fewer disciplinary offenses, increased time spent on reading for pleasure, and decreased time needed to complete homework. When students are taught by Teachers of Color (TOC) not only are these academic and non-academic gains experienced, but they are also particularly increased in Students of Color (SOC). However, TOC leave the profession at higher rates than their White counterparts. As such, if educational institutions want to continue supporting their SOC, they must consider implementing strategies known to support experienced TOC. One way to keep TOC in the profession is to offer these educators targeted professional learning (PL) opportunities in the form of racial affinity groups. Racial affinity groups support TOC because they affirm TOC goals, values, racial identities and humanity, while also providing mentorship and a sense of community that ultimately retains TOC in the profession. This study examines the PL experiences of six experienced TOC participating in a racial affinity group. Through semi-structured interviews, these TOC educator shared how participation in a racial affinity group as a PL experience transformed their teacher identities.
