National Policy on Particularly Sensitive Sea Ares: Step Towards Indonesian Marine Protection and Sustainable Shipping
Authors: Hartanto Dhimas Rudy
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study examines Indonesia’s challenges in protecting its marine environment due to intensive shipping activities in high-traffic maritime routes. It evaluates the alignment of Indonesian regulations with international standards, focusing on the Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas (PSSA) framework under IMO Resolution A.982(24).
Study Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs a qualitative legal-normative approach to analyze Indonesia’s regulatory framework in comparison with international maritime conservation standards. It assesses national policies, including Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management and Law Number 17 of 2008 on Shipping, identifying regulatory gaps, institutional limitations, and coordination challenges that hinder effective PSSA implementation.
Findings: The study finds that Indonesia’s existing regulations lack specific provisions to implement PSSA standards effectively, leading to weak enforcement and ineffective marine protection. Additionally, poor inter-agency coordination, limited institutional capacity, and low stakeholder awareness hinder sustainable maritime conservation efforts. The absence of advanced environmental monitoring technologies and public engagement strategies further reduces marine ecosystem resilience.
Originality/Value: This research provides a critical legal analysis of Indonesia’s PSSA-related policies, offering practical recommendations for regulatory improvement. By proposing revisions to national laws, strengthening inter-agency coordination, integrating advanced maritime monitoring technologies, and increasing public awareness, this study contributes valuable insights for policymakers, maritime authorities, and environmental advocates. The findings support Indonesia’s compliance with international obligations, ensuring long-term marine resource preservation and sustainable maritime development.

CIDADANIA ATIVA NA ERA DA TRANSPARÊNCIA: PARTICIPAÇÃO POPULAR E O DIREITO DE ACESSO À INFORMAÇÃO
Authors: Lins Maria Elizabeth , Oliveira Ana Carolina Gondim de Albuquerque , Lima Linaldo de Oliveira , Da Costa Célia Virgínia Almeida
Published: January 2025

O acesso à informação sempre foi um instrumento estratégico de poder, frequentemente utilizado como ferramenta de controle social pelo Estado e seus agentes. No entanto, com a positivação dos direitos humanos fundamentais, o acesso à informação adquiriu novo status, passando a figurar como uma garantia intrinsecamente relacionada com o exercício da cidadania. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve como objetivo discutir a relação existente entre o direito de acesso à informação e o efetivo exercício da cidadania. Para tanto, o estudo se classificou como bibliográfico, através de pesquisa em livros, artigos e publicações sobre o tema, empregando o suporte digital como fonte de pesquisa. Os achados evidenciaram que, além de representar um dos aspectos necessários para a concretização do princípio da publicidade na Administração Pública, o direito à informação também é corolário do princípio democrático, favorecendo o exercício da cidadania através de ferramentas que permitem ao cidadão fiscalizar os governantes e seus atos, pressionar por políticas públicas, questionar gastos injustificados e exercer o controle da moralidade administrativa. Em outras palavras, o acesso à informação representa um dos pressupostos para o pleno exercício da cidadania, uma vez que a efetiva participação popular nos assuntos de interesse público depende de uma compreensão mínima sobre os atos dos governantes e as suas consequências para a coletividade. Ademais, a ausência de circulação ampla e irrestrita de ideias e informações impossibilita o cidadão de formular opiniões fundamentadas sobre questões como a atuação do governo, o desempenho de representantes eleitos, a aplicação dos recursos públicos, as políticas públicas e outros assuntos de interesse coletivo, cuja limitação compromete diretamente o exercício pleno da cidadania e, como consequência, enfraquece os pilares da democracia.

Radiation Therapy for Basal Cell Skin Cancer
Authors: Natelauri Eter , Jghamadze Anna
Published: January 2025

Radiation therapy significantly treats basal cell carcinoma (BCC), offering effective tumor control and favorable cosmetic outcomes. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, and radiation therapy is indicated in cases where surgery is not feasible or for high-risk features. External beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, proton therapy, and electronic brachytherapy are the treatment modalities employed in BCC management. Tumor control rates with radiation therapy for BCC are generally high, with excellent local control achieved. Toxicities associated with radiation therapy for BCC include acute effects on the skin and adjacent structures, such as radiation dermatitis and hair loss. Minimizing toxicities and optimizing patient comfort involve advanced treatment planning techniques, appropriate skin care, and supportive care measures. Ongoing clinical trials and future perspectives in radiation therapy for BCC focus on targeted therapies, immunotherapies, hypofractionation, and advanced radiation techniques. These research efforts aim to improve treatment outcomes, personalize therapy, and enhance patient satisfaction. This chapter provides a concise overview of radiation therapy for BCC, highlighting its indications, techniques, outcomes, toxicities, and future perspectives.
AHP/ANP Amplifies Human-Centered Organizational Transformation Journey in VUCA Environment
Authors: Peniwati Kirti
Published: January 2025

The current business landscape is marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), compelling organizations to adapt their paradigms. Successful companies demonstrate a commitment to human-centered principles, fostering a culture of continuous learning and excellence. The Analytic Hierarchy/Network Process (AHP/ANP) is a well-established priority measurement theory with diverse applications across varying contexts and complexities. This scientific approach offers significant potential to enhance organizations on their journey toward becoming human-centered. Utilizing ratio scales and derived priority scales (0–1), users have the flexibility to organize their models and elicit judgments, provided that all axioms are respected to ensure valid outcomes. Alignment in group thinking is crucial when aggregating judgments to obtain group coherence. IBM Rochester exemplified the effective use of AHP, which contributed to its achievement of the 1990 Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award. This success highlights the necessity of incorporating all critical elements into the model and iterating processes as needed. Approaches such as balancing team roles, appreciative inquiry, and Theory U, when integrated with AHP, can further enhance its application. Decision Lens is successfully commercializing AHP, amplifying its value in modern organizational contexts.

This chapter discusses innovations in herbicide bioremediation as a sustainable solution for agricultural soil contamination. Modern agriculture, essential for global food security, faces significant environmental challenges due to the excessive use of herbicides, which can accumulate in the soil and negatively impact ecosystems and human health. Bioremediation emerges as a promising alternative, utilizing living organisms such as microorganisms and transgenic plants to degrade or transform these toxic compounds. This study explores how advances in genetic engineering and nanotechnology have enhanced the efficiency of these processes, making soil decontamination more effective and less harmful to the environment. Furthermore, it is acknowledged that, although this technology offers significant benefits, such as reducing environmental impacts and economic viability, challenges remain particularly in adapting to different climatic conditions and managing increasingly complex herbicides. With a focus on promoting safer and more sustainable agricultural practices, this study contributes to building agriculture that balances productivity with environmental preservation, emphasizing the importance of innovative solutions that can mitigate the damage caused by agrochemicals and protect ecosystems and public health.

Published: January 2025

The current critical global climate situation, which is due to greenhouse gas emissions, has led society to look for ways to preserve the environment. One of these is the use of renewable energies, including wind power. This energy uses the wind to operate. Based on this, this work seeks to design and produce wind blades using polymeric materials in an additive manufacturing process, in this case, with a 3D printer. The materials used were ABS, PETG, PLA and Tritan. The shapes developed were straight, curved and curved tip for the Tritan polymeric material, while for the other materials, the shape designed was straight. Once manufactured, the blades were subjected to performance tests with a wind turbine coupled to an alternator consisting of a tripod turbine. During the experiments, the construction materials, the shapes and the angle of attack as a function of the linear wind speed generated by a wind tunnel were changed so that the analysis was consistent. The results obtained were compared to identify the best combinations of the parameters analyzed.

This book chapter initially shows the actions of anthropogenic activities on climate change and how this future scenario can cause water stress in fruit plants, notably through the reduction in water availability caused by drought. Thus, only through advanced knowledge of fruit tree physiology is it possible to apply water in a controlled manner, lowering costs and increasing yield, thereby reducing the water footprint (L per kg of fruit) and improving agronomic and economic water use efficiency, as well as fruit quality. After the introductory part, the basic concepts of water availability in soil, plants and air are shown, as well as methodologies for measuring water status in the soil–plant-atmosphere system. Furthermore, the chapter addresses the effects of water limitation associated with reduced availability of water in the soil and air on the photosynthetic process, the phytohormonal imbalance associated with abscisic acid (ABA), and hydraulic conductivity on the productivity and quality of fruit plants.

Published: January 2025

Drug repurposing involves identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs, offering a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative to traditional drug discovery against cancer. Key approaches include computational, experimental, and drug-centric strategies, which have demonstrated success in targeting specific cancer types such as colorectal cancer with aspirin and BCC with itraconazole. Additionally, repurposing has shown potential in combination therapies, enhancing treatment efficacy, preventing metastasis, disrupting metabolic processes in cancer cells, improving cancer immunotherapy, and overcoming resistance mechanisms. Despite its benefits, drug repurposing faces significant obstacles, including cancer’s biological complexity, clinical trial design challenges, intellectual property barriers, biases affecting repurposing outcomes, and access to knowledge. Cancer heterogeneity complicates the development of universally effective therapies, while high costs and regulatory hurdles of clinical trials hinder rapid advancement. Furthermore, limited patent incentives reduce industry interest in repurposing projects. AI is revolutionizing drug repurposing by identifying new therapeutic targets and predicting drug interactions, yet challenges related to data quality, interpretability, and computational requirements necessitate careful integration. To overcome these barriers, collaboration between academia, industry, and regulatory bodies, alongside innovations in bioinformatics and clinical trial methodologies, is critical for advancing drug repurposing as a viable strategy for cancer treatment. This chapter explore the advantages, impacts, and challenges of drug repurposing in oncology, emphasizing its potential to accelerate the development of effective therapies while navigating obstacles such as data quality, regulatory challenges, and the necessity for comprehensive clinical validation.

Chemicals are widely used in daily activities and various industries. While they may seem harmless, they can actually have significant adverse health effects when they come into contact with the body or are used for prolonged periods of time. Occupational diseases (ODs) are illnesses contracted as a result of exposure to harmful factors in the workplace. The International Labour Organization (ILO) categorizes ODs into four principal groups: diseases caused by exposure to agents associated with work activities (e.g., chemical, physical, and biological agents); diseases targeting specific organ systems; occupational cancers; and other work-related diseases. Among these, chemical agents represent the most prevalent occupational hazards contributing to the development of ODs. This chapter will explore the toxicity of various chemicals, how they can enter the body, and the health effects they can cause. It will specifically focus on occupational diseases and cancers caused by chemical agents. Additionally, the chapter will discuss the importance of preventive measures in the workplace to reduce these risks. Understanding the mechanisms of toxicity and implementing effective preventive strategies are essential to decreasing the incidence of chemical-related occupational diseases.
Contemporary Ecopoems Reimagine What the ‘Literary Landscape’ Is
Authors: Schmidt Peter
Published: January 2025

The ancient belief that landscape is more than geography is embodied in the concept of a “genius loci,” “the spirit(s) of the place.” What happens to “nature poetry” if the connection between landscapes and deities decays? Especially if that decay is caused by humans, and nature becomes soiled by the atrocities of history? We do not have genius loci now, but rather genocide loci. How can poetry address that? Ecopoesía as a term appears to have been a major presence in the Spanish-speaking world approximately a decade or so earlier than its English equivalent became familiar. I present three hypotheses about how some contemporary ecopoetry is evolving, focusing on the work of three poets: A. R. Ammons, Jane Hirshfield, and Mayra Santos-Febres.
