Arubaanse natuurrechten

Aruba heeft een consultatievoorstel gepubliceerd om de Arubaanse Staatsregeling aan te vullen met erkenning van de rechten van de natuur. Dit voorstel is bijzonder omdat het de natuur constitutioneel rechten toekent, waarbij de natuur wordt erkend als rechtssubject en drager van deze rechten. De relatie tussen mens en natuur staat centraal, met een vergelijking tussen de antropocentrische en ecocentrische benadering. Naast wetgevingstechnisch commentaar op het voorstel worden ook de Gaia-theorie en de juridische argumentatie voor het toekennen van rechten aan natuurobjecten besproken. Tot slot wordt de vraag gesteld of deze aanpak effectief bijdraagt aan de bescherming van de Arubaanse natuur.

De lege huls van de aanwijzingsbe­voegdheid van de koninkrijksregering

In deze bijdrage heb ik uiteengezet dat de juridische mogelijkheden voor de koninkrijksregering om aanwijzingen te geven aan de Gouverneur zeer beperkt zijn. Uit de praktijk blijkt dat de koninkrijksregering de hiervoor geldende juridische grenzen consequent overschrijdt. Om die reden heb ik een aantal aanbevelingen gedaan om de reikwijdte van de aanwijzingsbevoegdheid te verruimen.

Interregionaal beslagverlof: is het mogelijk en onder welke voorwaarden?

Kan een Caribische rechter verlof verlenen op een verzoek tot het leggen van conservatoir beslag in Nederland, en in de omgekeerd situatie? Dit artikel bespreekt in welke gevallen er sprake is van een interregionaal beslagverzoek en de voorwaarden die bij de beoordeling in aanmerking komen, zoals de vraag naar de (interregionale) bevoegdheid van de Caribische/Nederlandse beslagrechter. Ook wordt ter vergelijking kort gekeken naar het recht van de Verenigde Staten (Florida) dat net als het Koninkrijk een meervoudig rechtstelsel heeft, en daarmee gevallen van interregionale of interstatelijke beslaglegging kent.
Hoe de liefde voor het delinquente kind verdween

The vanishing affection for the delinquent child – A reflection on the shifting political sentiment towards minors in juvenile justice

This article examines the history of the declining affection for juvenile delinquents. An analysis of four legislative debates on juvenile criminal law reveals that political affection for the delinquent child has changed significantly over time. Around 1900, a pastoral sense of care was still evident, whereas in recent years, society itself seems to have become the object of protection under juvenile criminal law, rather than the child. The article concludes, drawing on the thinking of Hannah Arendt, by arguing that lawmakers must dare to understand delinquent youth as a surprise rather than a threat.

Algemene aspecten van de Wet vereenvoudiging formeel verkeer Belastingdienst

In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op het wetsvoorstel Wet vereenvoudiging formeel verkeer Belastingdienst, dat door de staatssecretaris van Financiën in de zomer van 2013 is ingediend bij de Tweede Kamer. Het voorstel bevat twee componenten: een wijziging van de procedure voor het opleggen van een aanslag en de rechtsbescherming daartegen en de invoering van verplicht digitaal verkeer tussen de belastingplichtigen en de Belastingdienst. De voorstellen hangen met elkaar samen: digitaal verkeer vraagt om een eenvoudiger aanslagprocedure, die meer ruimte voor ‘informele’ correcties biedt. Beide voorstellen hebben bredere betekenis voor het bestuursrecht. De auteur gaat in op hun merites, zowel voor de fiscaliteit als voor het algemene bestuursrecht.

Nutrient deficiency is a major cause of different health disorders in human beings. Malnutrition has become more alarming in under-developed countries and might affect more than 3 billion people in the world. Supplementation and food fortification of vegetable crops with minerals can address the issue of adequate nutrition security. Current study was focused to assess the nutritional status of vegetables after supplementation of different macro and micronutrients. The trial was conducted in growth room, Department of Horticulture, University of Layyah, Layyah. Seed of spinach was procured from a certified agency and directly sown in the trays (2 inches deep). This study employed a total of twenty four treatment conditions, comprising three distinct nutrient treatments (including Fe, Zn, and Ca) as well as a control treatment. Every nutrient was applied in three different concentrations following two application methods, constituting six treatments of individual nutrient. Each treatment was replicated three times, each replication containing 1 tray. The end produce was analyzed for different attributes like morphological parameters, biochemical parameters (Total soluble solids, Vitamin C, acidity, carotenoids, chlorophyll contents, lipophilic antioxidant (LPA), starch contents, amino acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic contents and ionic contents (Fe, Zn, and Ca) . Our results indicated that supplementation of 200ppm Zn, Fe @1.5mM and 200ppm calcium concentration is optimal for maintaining the normal growth of plants and to promote the major Zn, Fe and Ca concentration in the edible part of spinach. Thus, it could be proposed that the growth of spinach under 200ppm Zn, Fe @1.5mM and Ca @200ppm increased the intake of these nutrients and other beneficial compounds for the human health.

Background: Chalcone synthesis is an important organic chemistry project with wide-ranging effects on drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, and material science, Chalcones serve as an intermediary product in the synthesis of a number of active substances, including aurones, isoflavonoids, and flavonoids

Objective: To learn more about the impacts of particular substituents, the relationships between the synthesized compounds' characteristics and molecular structures were examined. . The study also clarifies the mechanistic elements of the Claisen-Schmidt condensation processes that are necessary for the synthesis of chalcones

Methods: Using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, a series of chalcones (1a-1e) were effectively and synthesized by combining acetophenone as the ketone component and different aromatic aldehydes as the carbonyl donors. It was possible to create a library of chalcone derivatives with unique chemical properties by looking at the effects of various aldehydes on the final molecules. Their antioxidant activity was evaluated using the nitric oxide free radical scavenging assay in vitro. Characterization was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC).

Results: Our newly synthesized compounds (a1-e1) chalcone derivatives show various degrees of antioxidant and free radical scavenging effect. The presence of electron-donating or withdrawing groups significantly affected the biological activity.

Conclusion: In this research, we have manufactured several compounds derived from chalcone by Claisen-Schmidt condensation and after testing them, they showed excellent effectiveness for antioxidant effect and free radical scavenging, However, further in vivo studies such as human pharmacological effect were needed to develop new antioxidant and free radical scavenging drugs in the future.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyse the effect of work environment, work motivation, and work discipline on teacher performance in Tanralili Sub-district, Maros, both partially and simultaneously. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires to 191 respondents, and data were analysed using multiple linear regression method. The results showed that the work environment has a significant positive effect on teacher performance, especially through aspects of work facilities and communication that create a conducive work atmosphere. However, work motivation, measured through physical needs such as rewards in the form of salary, shows a negative influence on teacher performance, indicating that financial motivation alone is not enough to optimise performance. Work discipline, measured through attendance and vigilance indicators, also has a negative influence on performance, although it remains an important factor in supporting performance improvement. Simultaneously, these three variables contribute 9.5% to teacher performance, while the remaining 90.5% is influenced by other factors such as competence, leadership style, or social environment. The F test results show a significant joint effect of these variables on teacher performance. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of performance improvement strategies through improving the work environment, providing more thorough motivation, and improving discipline holistically

Published: February 2025

Accurate estimations of species abundance are crucial for effectively conserving endangered species. Estimating the population of snow leopards, a cryptic species living in remote and harsh habitats, based on camera trap photos is not easy but can still be useful for baseline estimations. In this study, we used camera traps to estimate the number of snow leopards in Lapchi Valley in Gaurishankar Conservation Area (GCA), Nepal. The study area spanned roughly 280 square kilometers, and for 25 months, we used 26 camera traps (CTs) strategically placed in 16 locations based on potential snow leopard activity. CTs captured a total of 39 snow leopard events. Seven peer observers independently and jointly identified six adults and two sub-adults using fur coloration, spot patterns and unique differences including one individual with an eye abnormality. Two individuals were accompanied by cubs, one of which was later observed with abdominal injuries. We observed seasonal variations in snow leopard activity, with higher occurrences in cold season and absence from May to October. The study area's high snow leopard density and seasonal concentration highlight the importance of Lapchi Valley as a crucial habitat for conservation. In addition, Lapchi Valley connects directly to the Tibetan plateau, so there is a potential for transboundary movement. This research contributes valuable insights for snow leopard conservation strategies, considering the species' elusive nature and the challenges in accurate population estimation.

While the study of carnivore ecology has made significant progress, our knowledge of small cats remains limited. For some species, even their distribution remains unknown. We report the first photographic evidence of the Pallas’s cat in Himachal Pradesh, India. Of the 56 camera traps placed for snow leopard population estimation across Kinnaur region between March-May 2024, we recorded Pallas’s cat in three camera traps. These captures were at an elevation of 3900–4100 meters in rocky habitats largely dominated by boulders and cliffs. Sympatric carnivores captured were snow leopard (Panthera uncia), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), stone marten (Martes foina) and free-ranging dogs. This discovery contributes to the range extension of Pallas’s cat distribution. We emphasize the need for more dedicated and concerted research to better understand the population status of Pallas’s cat in the region, and study the threats faced by the species, especially given the presence of free-ranging dogs.

Uranium is present in most underground water sources and it properties as a heavy metal and radioactive elements can determine the safety of such water when consumed. Consumption of elevated uranium as a heavy metal and a radioactive element in drinking water can lead to non-cancer. The activity concentrations of Uranium in 20 well and 20 borehole water in Saki around mining site were measured using Sodium Iodide detector. The results obtained were used to calculate chemical and radiological risk over lifetime consumption by the population in the area. The mass concentration values in the borehole water samples ranged from 139.84 to 378.40 Bql-1 and that of well water samples ranged from 233.73 to 367.12 Bql-1. Both the mass concentration values of borehole water and well water samples exceeded the recommended safe limit of uranium in drinking water of agencies like WHO and USEPA. This shows a chemical risk associated to the consumption of the water samples. The excess cancer mortality risk of the samples investigated ranged from 2.02x10-4to 5.41 x10-4 for the borehole and 3. x10-4to 5.32 x 10-4 the well water  while the excess cancer morbidity risk of uranium in the samples are 3.06 x 10-4 to 8.30 x 10-4 and 5.13 x10-4 to 8.15 x10-4 for borehole and well water respectively. Both its excess mortality and morbidity risk fell below the permissible value of 10-3. Therefore the water samples are radiologically safe for drinking and pose no radiological hazard to the consumers.

Published: February 2025

The present study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the ichthyofaunal diversity, abundance, and conservation status of fish species in the Longnit River, Karbi Anglong, a relatively less documented region with limited studies on its biodiversity.  An extensive survey was conducted from November 2020 to June 2021, in two distinct catchment areas of the river using standard methodologies. A total of 23 species belonging to 14 families and 6 orders were identified, with Cyprinidae being the most dominant family. Notable genera, such as Botia, Crossocheilus, Garra, Glyptothorax, Labeo, and Psilorhynchus, were recorded, which are characteristic of such fast-flowing hillstream ecosystems. Although continuous monitoring is essential to assess potential threats, the IUCN conservation status assessment revealed that the majority of species fall under the Least Concern category. Diversity indices reveal a high level of species richness and evenness with the Shannon Diversity Index (H') = 3.0, The Simpson's Index of Dominance (D) = 0.05, and Simpson's Index of Diversity (1-D) = 0.95 indicating a rich diversity and low dominance by any one species. As a preliminary study, these results on the fish diversity and abundance of Longnit River provide fundamental data for the development of targeted conservation strategies to preserve the aquatic hill stream fish fauna of this underexplored ecological zone.

Salah satu upaya dalam menekan biaya produksi dalam pemeliharaan udang vaname adalah menggunakan pakan protein rendah dengan penambahan suplemen dalam meningkatkan kualitas pakan. Hasil samping pengolahan ikan patin Siam dalam bentuk silase memiliki kelebihan seperti aroma yang khas dan daya serap nutrisi yang cukup tinggi. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui penambahan silase hasil samping pengolahan ikan patin Siam pada pakan terhadap pertumbuhan dan kelangsungan hidup udang vaname. Perlakuan yang diuji meliputi penambahan silase hasil samping ikan patin Siam pada pakan berprotein 25% dengan dosis 10% (A), 20% (B), 30% (C), 40% (D) per kg pakan. Udang uji (bobot 2,30±0,19 g) diberikan pakan perlakuan sebanyak 5% dari bobot tubuh dengan frekuensi pemberian sebanyak 5 kali sehari. Pemeliharaan dilakukan selama 7 minggu dalam akuarium berukuran 30×25×25 cm3 yang berisi air sebanyak 12 L. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pertumbuhan tertinggi diperoleh pada penambahan silase hasil samping ikan patin dengan dosis 40% (2,81 g) dan terendah pada dosis 10% (2,00 g) (p<0,05). Rasio konversi pakan terendah pada perlakuan dosis 30% (2,93) dibandingkan dengan dosis 10% (4,09). Kelangsungan hidup yang diperoleh untuk semua perlakuan berkisar 86,7-93,3%. Penggunaan silase dalam pakan untuk mendapatkan pertumbuhan dan kelangsungan hidup serta rasio konversi pakan yang rendah pada udang vaname dapat dilakukan dengan menambahkan silase dengan dosis 30%/kg pakan.

Ikan mola-mola (Mola spp.), atau ocean sunfish, merupakan spesies bertulang terbesar di dunia yang berperan penting dalam ekosistem laut dan memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi sebagai daya tarik wisata bawah laut. Namun, spesies ini menghadapi berbagaia ancaman seperti perburuan tidak sengaja, pencemaran laut, dan perubahan iklim yang memengaruhi distribusi serta reproduksinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi masyarakat terhadap konservasi mola-mola melalui kajian literatur dan data media sosial. Kajian dilakukan dengan analisis literatur ilmiah dengan VOSviewer serta mengumpulkan data media sosial khususnya di Tiktok menggunakan web scraper dan menggunakan metode machine learning berbasis Support Vector Machine (SVM) untuk analisis sentimen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi masyarakat didominasi oleh sentimen positif (45%) terkait daya tarik unik mola-mola, meski masih terdapat sentimen negatif (30%) akibat kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pentingnya konservasi. Studi ini mengungkapkan perlunya pengelolaan habitat berkelanjutan dan kolaborasi berbasis komunitas untuk meningkatkan kesadaran konservasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa edukasi masyarakat dan kolaborasi antara pemerintah, ilmuwan, serta komunitas lokal sangat penting untuk mengurangi ancaman terhadap mola-mola, termasuk dampak perubahan iklim dan perburuan ilegal. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa strategi berbasis komunitas dan pendekatan multidisiplin mampu meningkatkan efektivitas konservasi mola-mola serta memastikan keberlanjutan ekosistem laut di Indonesia.

Education as one of the fields that is also affected, adapts to the rapid advancement of technology, ranging from curriculum changes to the use of various learning resources and technology-based learning media. One of the innovations that has emerged is the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as a learning medium. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of AR in improving students' memory of learning materials.  The method used in this study is the Kurl Lewin model action learning research method with a qualitative experimental approach that positions teachers to play an active role in implementing learning problem-solving interventions that occur in the learning of grade V students of SD Negeri Panjang Wetan 03 Pekalongan. The findings of this study show that AR media can facilitate students in understanding and remembering science material. In addition, AR is also effective in describing abstract concepts that are difficult to practice or observe directly. The implications of this research can be the basis for educators, policy makers, and learning media developers to implement AR technology more widely in the learning process, in order to improve the quality of education and enrich the learning experience of students.

Mathematics learning at the elementary school level has a crucial role in students' cognitive development. Although it is often perceived as a boring and difficult material, especially in understanding the concept of multiplication, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning model (PBL) combined with the P4 basket media in improving students' problem-solving skills, understanding of mathematical concepts, and cognitive thinking skills. This study uses a quasi-experimental design by involving grade III students at SDN Kanigoro 03 Blitar Regency as a control and experimental group. The purposive sampling method was applied to select 26 students from class IIIA as the control group and 26 students from class IIIB as the experimental group. The instruments used in this study include observation sheets to monitor the learning process and cognitive ability tests consisting of 25 questions, consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions and 10 short-fill questions. The results show that the application of the PBL model supported by the P4 basket media can improve students' learning outcomes in multiplication materials, improve their understanding of mathematical concepts, and improve analytical thinking skills. These findings indicate that PBL can be an effective approach in teaching mathematics at the primary school level.

El análisis expone las conductas omisivas de diversas autoridades del Estado de Durango, en México, a través de distintas Administraciones Públicas locales que infringen el deber de retención del 5 al millar (0.5%) de las facturas por pagar a los proveedores de ciertas compras gubernamentales, en favor de los niñas, niños y adolescentes con cáncer y sin acceso a la seguridad social, sostenido por la Ley de Compras Gubernamentales aplicable, cuyo valor se calcula (en un simulacro) en más de 59 millones de pesos, con base datos oficiales, lo que representa violaciones graves a derechos constitucionalizados en favor de esta población como el derecho a la salud, el derecho al ejercicio lícito de recursos públicos, el derecho a la buena administración, el interés superior del menor, el principio de no regresividad o progresividad en materia de derechos humanos, cuyo efecto potencial incluso, alcanzaría a producir responsabilidad internacional del Estado, bajo el principio de unidad. El estudio demuestra la taxonomía de una teoría del caso para realizar un litigio estratégico en favor de dicha comunidad, así como los mecanismos judicializados para su reparación integral, con la precisión de las autoridades de fiscalización superior que no advirtieron estas omisiones. Se patenta la deficiente interacción entre áreas que produjo el problema, así como breves consideraciones en favor de los servidores públicos involucrados para esbozar algunos excluyentes de responsabilidad administrativa. El autor, aspira a través de esta exposición a ilustrar, con sencillez, que el Derecho Constitucional por naturaleza, es la domesticación del poder.
