»Ein paar militärisch-knappe Zeilen an die Rekrutierungsbehörde«
Authors: Fischer Malte
Published: May 2024

Anhand zentraler bundeswehrpolitischer Debatten der mittleren 1960er bis frühen 1970er Jahre und der Zuschriften aus der Bevölkerung, die Helmut Schmidt zuerst als Verteidigungsexperten der SPD und dann als Verteidigungsminister der Bundesrepublik erreichten, spürt dieser Aufsatz den Erwartungen »gewöhnlicher« Bürger und Soldaten nach, die diese zu den Debatten um die Reform der Bundeswehr und zum Zustand der Streitkräfte äußerten. Der Aufsatz fragt, wie westdeutsche Bürgerinnen und Bürger den verschlungenen Prozess der Demokratisierung der Bundeswehr wahrnahmen und wie sie die Bundeswehr, die ein präsenter Teil des Alltags vieler Menschen war, mit ihren politischen Erwartungen an Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik und an das Verhältnis von Bürgern und Staat in der liberalen Demokratie verbanden. Die Fallstudie versucht so, das Verfassen von Briefen an Politiker als politische Praxis in der westdeutschen Demokratiegeschichte zu verorten.
Zur neueren Militärgeschichte Chinas als Forschungsgebiet: Bestandsaufnahme und Perspektiven
Authors: Messingschlager Stefan
Published: May 2024

Die chinesische Geschichte ist von Gewalt und Kriegen geprägt; einschlägige Forschung zur Militärgeschichte Chinas gibt es allerdings erst seit wenigen Jahrzehnten. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, einen vertieften Einblick in die Entstehung und Entwicklung dieses Forschungsgebiets zu eröffnen. Der Autor zeigt unter anderem, wie sich die militärhistorische Forschung ab den 1990er Jahren zu einem eigenständigen Forschungsgebiet entwickelte – dass der internationale Fachdiskurs dabei allerdings bis heute dominant angloamerikanisch geprägt ist. Die Militärgeschichte Chinas hat sich aber nicht nur als wissenschaftliches Teilgebiet etabliert, militärhistorische Perspektiven sind heute integraler Bestandteil der Forschung zur chinesischen Geschichte. Mit Blick auf die künftige Forschung plädiert der Autor abschließend für einen dezidierten Fokus auf die Geschichte der Volksbefreiungsarmee seit 1949 und hier vor allem auf ihre Modernisierung seit den 1980er Jahren als Ergebnis von Austausch und Transfer.
Militär darf Gewalt?!
Authors: Reichherzer Frank
Published: May 2024

Der Essay beginnt mit der Frage nach der Legalität militärischer Gewaltanwendung und endet mit dem Blick auf das komplexe Management und die Dosierung militärischer Gewaltsamkeiten. Militär als ein Gewaltdispositiv zu begreifen, das unterschiedliche kollektive Gewaltsamkeiten bündelt, organsiert und zur Anwendung bringen kann, verweist auf die Notwendigkeit eines breiten, integrativen Gewaltverständnisses, das Abstand von scharfen, aber einschränkenden Definitionen nimmt.

Published: May 2024

In unserem Essay fragen wir danach, welche Einsichten die soziologische Gewaltforschung momentan für militärgeschichtliche Untersuchungen bereithält. Ausgehend davon, dass sich Angehörige beider Forschungsgebiete typischerweise aus entgegengesetzter Richtung auf das »Problem der historischen Zeit« (Simmel) zubewegen, sehen wir einen Punkt, den wir als Gesellschaftsgestaltung skizzieren möchten.
The Worldview-Open Society, the Worldview-Controlling State and Non-Profit Welfare Actors: Norway as a Case
Authors: Haugen Hans Morten
Published: May 2024

Diaconal actors, constituting the main share of health and caring institutions within the non-profit sector in Norway, face challenges as well as opportunities. The article analyzes the political framework that diaconal actors do operate under. Opportunities include strong political acknowledgements of the societal role of non-profit actors, decisions on increasing the overall share of their service provision, tender competitions reserved for non-profit actors, and the Norwegian emphasis on a worldview-open society. The authorities do also emphasize diversity as positive. The article demonstrates different understandings of requirements for being termed non-profit. Not only the actor itself must specify in its articles of association that profits must be reinvested to promote social purposes; recently the government has emphasized that also the owner(s) of actors must an establish such a non-profit social purpose in their articles of association. Specific examples are given of how Norwegian authorities act as promoters of a worldview-open society and a worldview-controlling state.
Finite-dimensional perturbation of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation
Authors: Berikkhanova Gulnaz
Published: May 2024

The biharmonic equation is one of the important equations of mathematical physics, describing the behaviour of harmonic functions in higher-dimensional spaces. The main purpose of this study was to construct a finite-dimensional perturbation for the Dirichlet boundary value problem associated with the biharmonic equation. The methodological basis for this study was an integrated approach that includes mathematical analysis, algebraic methods, operator theory, and the theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a boundary value. The main tool is a finite-dimensional perturbation, which allows for examining the properties and behaviour of boundary value problems in as much detail as possible. In the study, descriptions of correctly solvable internal boundary value problems for a biharmonic equation in non-simply connected domains were considered in detail. The study is also devoted to the search for solutions and the analytical representation of resolvents of boundary value problems for a biharmonic equation in multi-connected domains. Within the framework of the study, theorems and their consequences were proved, and a finite-dimensional perturbation was constructed for the Dirichlet boundary value problem. Analytical representations of resolvents of boundary value problems for a biharmonic equation in multi-connected domains were also obtained. The examination of a finite-dimensional perturbation of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for a biharmonic equation has expanded the understanding of the properties of this equation in various contexts.

Published: May 2024

This study focuses on converting iron particles from grinding sludge, after removing impurities, into Fe-nanoparticles using high-energy ball billing. The goal is to examine the corrosion behaviors and mechanical properties of these Fe-nanoparticles. Nanostructured Fe-powder was synthesized through a process involving 10 h of high-energy ball milling, followed by conventional hot pressing and sintering. Structural and microstructural properties were thoroughly examined using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and elemental diffraction spectroscopy. Upon sintering, SEM and TEM analyses unveiled the formation of a nanostructured alloy within the samples. Notably, the milled sample exhibited high hardness value, measuring at 155 HV. However, it is noteworthy that the un-milled sample demonstrated superior compression strength compared to its milled counterpart. Furthermore, the corrosion behavior of the samples was evaluated through electrochemical corrosion studies. Interestingly, the sample subjected to 10 h of milling (coin number 5) displayed a significantly lower corrosion rate, measuring at 1.3921 mm/year, suggesting enhanced corrosion resistance attributed to the nano structuring process.
The power of naming students-as-partners practices
Authors: Casey Alison
Published: May 2024

Involving students in the design of their educational experience is increasingly being understood by higher education institutions to enhance learning, to build a better culture, and to foster inclusivity amongst a host of other benefits. Accordingly, institutions are trialling a wide range of Students as Partners practices. There is currently huge variation in the nature and scale of these practices. This paper proposes a taxonomy that will allow Students as Partners practices to be consistently described, and therefore compared and mapped. This is a vital next step in the development and widespread adoption of this transformational set of practices.

Design thinking and shared ignorance as a framework for student-faculty partnerships
Authors: Bolstad Torstein , Strømberg Anders , Amberg Sven , Bjørnevik Ida
Published: May 2024

This case study describes and discusses how student-faculty partnerships can be strengthened through design thinking and the establishment of shared ignorance, i.e., an awareness of how none of the involved parties understands the problem or knows the optimum solution of the partnership project. As a case, we use a student-faculty project that aimed to develop course material for an electrical engineering course based on project work involving wicked problems. This project illustrates, through student and faculty reflections, how design thinking and shared ignorance can be used to subvert implicit power structures and strengthen the partnership and project outcomes.
Ways of Knowing in the Life Sciences and Connections to the NGSS Practice-Crosscutting Concept Pairs and Groups
Authors: Oatman Kara C. , Price Nancy A.
Published: May 2024

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) engage students in the epistemic, or knowledge building, components of science through three-dimensional learning. Each scientific domain has its own epistemic aspects that result from different social groups going about science in different ways to conceptualize different bodies of knowledge; education researchers recommend that these be included in science education. While the Science & Engineering Practices and Crosscutting Concepts of the NGSS apply to all sciences, they can be combined in ways that reflect the domain-specific aspects of the life sciences. In this paper, we define and describe simplified epistemic themes, or ways of knowing, within the life sciences for educators to use as a guide when creating lessons and units. Then, we outline example Practice-Crosscutting Concept pairs and groups that curriculum developers can use in learning performance statements to reflect these ways of knowing.
Utilizing the Power of Cooperative Learning to Teach Controversial Topics such as Genetically Modified Organisms
Authors: Abrie Amelia L.
Published: May 2024

Some topics are controversial and, as a consequence, difficult to teach. I describe a cooperative teaching and learning strategy that combines the “Jigsaw method” with the “Six thinking hats” of de Bono. This allows students to work together in expert groups while investigating the topic from different perspectives. Students then provide feedback to each other, where all perspectives are shared in the home group.
The Power of Linking Organ Systems
Authors: Fraley Amber D. , Kang ChulHee , Vilchiz Victor H. , Lee Cathy
Published: May 2024

Understanding the body’s homeostasis through interactions among the eleven organ systems is an essential foundation for pre-professional undergraduate students studying human anatomy and physiology. This knowledge enables students to understand the pathophysiology of various disease states that result from non homeostatic conditions. We created an organ systems-based applied learning module containing the signs and symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), which can assist in increasing student engagement while making connections between normal conditions and disease states. The purpose of this module was to encourage students to use critical thinking skills and apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations.

Anatomy and Physiology II students at Gordon State College first learned about four major organ systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, and urinary. Students completed each lesson and the corresponding assignment containing the basic functions of each organ system. Students then identified the organ systems’ physiological contributions to the signs and symptoms of DKA, such as hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, ketonuria, hypokalemia, and osmotic diuresis. At the end of the semester, the students presented posters summarizing their overall understanding of the eleven organ systems’ involvement with the signs and symptoms of DKA. This learning module with the DKA poster project offered an innovative way for students to apply their classroom learning to real-world situations relevant to their potential future careers.
Decoupling with(out) outsourcing? Quantifying emissions embodied in BRI trade with implications for climate policy
Authors: Li Yuan , Khan Jamal
Published: May 2024

We empirically examine the trade-related environmental impacts of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) using a novel technology-adjusted consumption-based accounting in addition to traditional accounting schemes and data from the Eora Global database from 1995 to 2015. We find that BRI trade accounted for 3-quarters (5.01 Gt) of global traded emissions in 2015. BRI countries account for 60%–75% of (non-BRI) developed-world consumption-based emissions. While developing (BRI) countries import 8%–42% of their consumption needs from China, they account for half of the China’s imported emissions. Our analysis reveals that technological adjustments in export sectors significantly alter the magnitude of outsourcing and emission responsibility assigned to both BRI and non-BRI countries. This leads to a notable shift in net trade balance emissions. We find that developed (BRI and non-BRI) countries have reduced emissions primarily through decoupling and outsourcing. Our findings demonstrate that BRI trade has diverse environmental effects; exports from more carbon-efficient (BRI and non-BRI) developed countries are likely to reduce (or avoid) emissions in developing (BRI) countries and vice versa. An important implication of these findings is that China’s BRI-led outsourcing and investments have the potential to yield significant environmental benefits by accelerating the transition to renewable energy in developing countries participating in the initiative.
Arctic phytoplankton microdiversity across the marginal ice zone: Subspecies vulnerability to sea-ice loss
Authors: Ribeiro Catherine Gérikas , Lopes dos Santos Adriana , Trefault Nicole , Marie Dominique , Lovejoy Connie , Vaulot Daniel
Published: May 2024

Seasonal phytoplankton blooms are important Arctic phenomena, contributing to global primary production and biogeochemical cycling. The decline in sea-ice extent and thickness favors a longer open-water period with impacts on phytoplankton dynamics. Arctic net productivity is influenced by microalgae living associated with sea ice, with distinct species thought to be favored by ice-covered and ice-free waters. In this study, we investigated the phytoplankton community structure in Baffin Bay, a semi-enclosed sea where Arctic and North Atlantic water masses interact. We compared communities from the ice-free Atlantic-influenced eastern, the marginal ice zone, and the ice-covered Arctic-influenced western Baffin Bay. The community was characterized using 18S rRNA high-throughput amplicon sequencing and flow cytometry cell counting, and compared to environmental data collected during the Green Edge campaign. We sampled 16 stations grouped by sectors according to sea-ice cover. In the sectors associated with sea ice, phytoplankton formed a highly diverse community of smaller taxa, which contrasted with a low-diversity community in ice-free sectors, dominated by larger centric diatoms and Phaeocystis pouchetii adapted to high light/low nutrient conditions. Several phytoplankton species were flagged as indicators for the under-ice and marginal ice zone sectors, including ice-associated taxa such as the diatoms Melosira arctica and Pseudo-nitzschia seriata, but also subspecies representatives of the early-blooming alga Micromonas polaris and the cryptophyte Baffinella frigidus. The strong association of certain taxa with under-ice and marginal ice zone sectors, including Pterosperma sp., Chrysochromulina sp., Micromonas polaris, and B. frigidus, suggest that they might be indicators of diversity loss due to ongoing sea-ice changes in Baffin Bay. We report new intra-species variability of Micromonas polaris suggesting that seasonal specialists could wax and wane over the bloom and non-bloom periods, highlighting the need for detailed year-long studies and the importance of microdiversity when assessing the diversity and distribution of polar phytoplankton.

In this work, the gas sensing properties of ZnS/Porous silicon heterostructures have been investigated. . Zinc sulfide(ZnS) with high gas sensing performance is successfully synthesized over the Porous silicon substrate by the spray pyrolysis method. The properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform spectrum (FTIR) and optical properties. The results reveal that the properties of the ZnS/Porous silicon heterostructures enhanced when the when the ZnS concentration is increased. The performance ZnS/Porous silicon as a gas-sensing show that the maximum sensitivity is found to be 5.11 at ZnS concentration of 0.5 M and etching time of 15 min compared to the other sensitivities. The ZnS-PSi heterojunction based gas sensor may be used for UV-light photo-detectors due to a valuable properties such as high sensitivity and fast response.

The obtaining and study of semiconductor materials have been topics of interest for decades. However, alternatives that allow greater versatility at the time of their application have yet to be explored, such as the inclusion of some transition metals. In this work, we report the obtaining of GaAs and GaAs/Cr/GaAs layers, which were prepared by r.f. magnetron sputtering on a Si (100) substrate by varying the deposition time of the intermediate Cr layer for t = 5 min and 10 min, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy in cross-section was carried out to determine the growth mode of the GaAs and GaAs/Cr/GaAs films. The percentage of the elements in the GaAs/Cr/GaAs thin films was determined through energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in cross-sections along the entire layer thickness. X-ray diffraction and micro-Raman spectroscopy at room temperature were measured to analyze the formation of CrAs and GaCr binary phases by diffusion across interlayers. Finally, we conclude on the possible use of this technique to obtain semiconductor alloys with Cr inclusion.
Highly expressed lncRNA H19 in endometriosis promotes aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation

Published: May 2024

In brief

Abnormal glucose metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study identifies that highly expressed H19 leads to increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels in endometriosis.

Previous studies from our group and others have shown increased IncRNA H19 expression in both the eutopic endometrium and the ectopic endometriosis tissue during endometriosis. In this study, we use immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and protein quantification to determine that levels of aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation are increased in endometriosis tissues. In human endometrial stromal cells, we found that high H19 expression resulted in abnormal glucose metabolism by examining the levels of glucose, lactate, and ATP and measuring protein levels of enzymes that participate in glycolysis. At the same time, immunofluorescence and western blotting demonstrated increased histone lactylation in H19 overexpressing cells. Altering aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels through the addition of sodium lactate and 2-deoxy-d-glucose demonstrated that increased aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels resulted in enhanced cell proliferation and cell migration, contributing to endometriosis. To validate these findings in vivo, we constructed an endometriosis mouse model, demonstrating similar changes in endometriosis tissues in vivo. Both aerobic glycolysis and histone lactylation levels were elevated in endometriotic lesions. Taken together, these data demonstrate elevated expression levels of H19 in endometriosis patients promote abnormal glucose metabolism and elevated histone lactylation levels in vivo, enhancing cell proliferation and migration and promoting the progression of endometriosis. Our study provides a functional link between H19 expression and histone lactylation and glucose metabolism in endometriosis, providing new insights into disease mechanisms that could result in novel therapeutic approaches.

El Pacto de Ochomogo: metáfora histórica en la construcción de la modernidad costarricense
Authors: Hernández-Castro Gustavo , Pineda-Campos Sergio
Published: May 2024

The authors analyze the “Pacto de Ochomogo” (Ochomogo Agreement) -1948 Civil War in Costa Rica- from the point of view of witnesses of this historical event and the different historiographical stories. Their hypothesis is that the ”Pacto de Ochomogo” became a historical metaphor in Costa Rican modernity. In other words, XXIth Costa Rica is the result of a historical event that, according to the winners of the war, it’s an agreement that never existed (a written document). Through the method of hermeneutics, the authors examine intratexts related to people who participated in the historical event and historiographic data collected by different researchers.
A Historiographical Study of Ekphrastic Poetry: A Rendezvous of Minds
Authors: Barquero-Vargas Ana Patricia
Published: May 2024

The present work aims at exploring the roots of ekphrastic poetry: the convergence of graphic art and its verbal representation. In the light of this tradition, this ambitious historical endeavor prances through centuries, from Homer’s description of the making of the shield of Achilles in the Iliad to modern ekphrastic poetry in order to have a better understanding of this practice, so old yet so unconversant. It will focus on the ekphrastic custom of prosopopoeia as a means of unsilencing the gazee and in which its narrativity will both speak out and pour the poet’s verbality. The ekphrastic poem becomes a junction of painter, poet, reader, and work of art in order to bring the signifier into being in this rendezvous of minds.
Deconstrucción parcial de la masculinidad hegemónica en el cuento “Los hombres no lloran” (1972) de Fabián Dobles
Authors: Alonso-Chacón Paula
Published: May 2024

This article examines hegemonic or traditional masculinity in the protagonist of the short story titled “Los hombres no lloran” (Men do not cry) (1972) by the Costa Rican writer Fabián Dobles. Once Mr. Damián’s masculine identity has been characterized, the reason and the process by which a partial deconstruction of his masculinity occurs in the private is described. As an opposing character to Mr. Damián, Mr. Leandro Carpio appears in the text as a representative of the new masculinity, with which Dobles (1972) illustrates not only the silent suffering of “real men”, but also an alternative to exercise a masculine identity in a more harmonious way with himself and the family.
¿Espera y silencio? De las Penélopes de la Odisea (I. 358-360, II. 104-105 y XIX. 149-150) a las Penélopes costarricenses
Authors: Arroyo-Carvajal Yordan
Published: May 2024

This paper analyzes, from a selection of poems written by seven Costa Rican women authors, two mythemes (waiting and silence), of the mythological figure of Penelope, which arise from narrative tensions in the Odyssey. Approaches are developed around this character and on the terms “poetry and postmodern poets”, “literature written by women” and “mythemes”, which serve as support for the final discussion. As part of the conclusions, just as in the Odyssey there was not a single version of Penelope, neither was there a single version in the poetry written by Costa Rican women

Published: May 2024

Valid and reliable methods are needed to assess the difficulties young people often face in making career-related decisions. A cross-sectional study was conducted to test the psychometric characteristics (internal consistency, discriminant, convergent and structural validities) of the Lithuanian version of the Career decision-making difficulties questionnaire (Gati et al., 1996) in a sample of Lithuanian students (N = 255). The results revealed that the Lithuanian version of Career decision-making difficulties has good internal consistency. Adequate convergent validity was confirmed by finding statistically significant positive relationships with indecisiveness, and discriminant validity was confirmed by finding statistically significant negative relationships with career self-efficacy. Finally, structural validity was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis, which revealed that a 10-factor structure was the most appropriate. The results of the research showed that the Lithuanian version of the Career decision-making difficulties questionnaire is a suitable measurement tool, but further studies on the evaluation of the scale are needed.

Authors: Sarıipek Doğa Başar , Peker Zahide , Cerev Gökçe
Published: May 2024

Housing stands as a fundamental human right, acknowledged by numerous international bodies and statutes. Despite this recognition, only a handful of nations ensure adequate housing for their populace. This research endeavors to forge a connection between housing rights and social policy through a comprehensive literature review. Drawing from data provided by the Turkish Statistical Institute and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the study addresses the escalating housing concerns among university students in Turkey. With an increasing student population and insufficient accommodation facilities, the issue has reached a critical juncture. Most students are compelled to reside in state dormitories, which lack the capacity to meet demand. Moreover, economic hardships and a dearth of financial aid exacerbate the housing crisis. The findings underscore the urgent need for the development of policies and solutions tailored to address the housing predicament faced by university students in Turkey.

Fababean and barley intercropping promotes efficient use of land, and minimize the agricultural inputs. Legume intercropped with cereal fixes molecular nitrogen from air. Understanding this, fababean and barley experiment was conducted at Debre Birhan University Research Station, Ethiopia. The treatments were sole barely (control),Sole fababean (control), 1 row barley with 1 row fababean, 2 row barley with 1 row fababean and 1 row barley with 2 row fababean. The design of the experiment was randomized block design. The result showed that tiller number of barley plant was statically significant in control, 3, and 5 treatments. Similar trend was observed in 1, 3 and 5 treatments for spike length. There was highly significant correlation between fresh and dry weight of barley and it was high in 3 and 5treatments. Similar trend was observed on tiller number and plant height in treatments 3 and 5. Significant mean difference was recorded for fresh weight in 2, 3, 4 and 5 treatments. Fababean branching was significant in treatments 2, 3 and 4.Correlation between fresh and dry weight of fababean, branch, and pod and root nodules numbers showed statistically significant differences. Branch number of fababean correlates significantly with pod and root nodules numbers. Fresh and dry weight of fababean in treatment 2 was the highest of all treatments.

Assessing community reforestation projects for biodiversity improvement and poverty alleviation
Authors: Black Simon A , Opfer Kerstin
Published: May 2024

Biodiversity loss through deforestation and poverty are major global issues and their combined mitigation has become an important political objective. Integrated conservation and development projects (ICDP) like community-based reforestation projects aim to both conserve biodiversity and alleviate poverty. It is debatable, however, whether ICDP, and in particular community-based reforestation projects, achieve this effectively and systematic assessment of multiple studies using a common organisational framework is still missing. The Conservation Excellence Model (CEM) allows analysis of the linkage between biodiversity management, community interventions, and their influence on both community outcomes and biodiversity improvements, so could be a suitable framework for ICDP. CEM assessment provides field-based evidence from multiple and balanced perspectives and an understanding of organisational processes to inform understanding of ICDP effectiveness. This review calls for CEM assessment and comparison of community-based reforestation projects in areas that are biodiversity hotspots and also characterised by high levels of rural poverty. There is a strong argument that the assessment of such community-based reforestation projects would provide a globally-relevant model for effective ICDPs and give insight into effective practices.

The author examines a variety of documents about contracts, acquisitions, and document-based communication in this article. The author concurs that truthful consumers must be conscious of purchasers' challenges during transactions and that legal considerations and data transfer must be factored into mortgage and real estate transactions. Therefore, consumers must guarantee compliance with these provisions in good faith or at the very least, have confidence in their compliance. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study examines statutory regulations and the literature. According to the conclusion, legal repercussions may result from resale agreements with debtors (consumers) who engage in dishonest conduct during pandemic transactions or contracts. They remain perpetually if they are associated with a transaction; they cannot renegotiate or redeem the debt security.

Investigations into the termination of preliminary criminal investigations traditionally encompass two forms: closing a criminal case and concluding the preliminary investigation through an indictment for prosecutor transfer. Prior research has examined these processes, emphasizing the importance of procedural correctness and legal compliance. However, existing studies fall short in elucidating the investigator's actions concerning harm compensation during preliminary investigation termination. The purpose of this study was to explore the investigator's actions to ensure compensation for harm caused by a criminally punishable act during the termination of the preliminary investigation. The authors employed a holistic approach, including the general scientific method, systematic analysis, synthesis, and comparative legal analysis. The results revealed that regardless of the form of termination, measures for compensating victims of criminal acts must be taken. These include appealing against unlawful decisions, and preparing claims for rights protection and compensation in civil proceedings. Compensation for harm remains a priority throughout pre-trial proceedings, even after termination.

The emergence of Web 2.0 has had an immense impact on the worldwide communication system, including the media. Therefore, traditional media outlets have shifted their focus exclusively to digital platforms. As a blessing of the rise of social media platforms, presses have been able to disseminate information swiftly, solicit reader criticism, and engage in two-way contact. However, gaining literacy, media, and digital media literacy competencies are crucial to benefiting from these information technologies. Besides, by acquiring these literacy skills, citizens of a developing country such as Bangladesh can significantly impact that country's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, these competencies can help a country's citizens be more aware of fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and malformation. In this regard, the main objective of this article is to give an overview of digital media literacy in Bangladesh. For this purpose, the secondary data analysis method has been used to shed light on the digital inclusion process and development of information and communication technologies (ICT) in Bangladesh. Also, a literature review has been conducted on existing research on digital media literacy in the country. Finally, this research concluded that although the digital Bangladesh process has achieved great success in the short term, the supply of reasonable access to ICT for all the country's citizens will need more time. Thus, Bangladesh's government and non-government organizations and citizens need to go the extra mile to minimize this digital divide. Therefore, some potential components considered in the digital divide are citizens' position in rural vs. urban areas, literacy and income status gaps, and age range.
