Aragonesi e Borboni a lezione da Giovanni Pontano
Authors: Sciancalepore Margherita
Published: December 2024

In the history of the tradition and fortune of Giovanni Pontano’s many and varied works, a still little-studied area concerns the first translations, carried out as early as the fifteenth century, and the translations subsequently made to confirm the humanist’s fame. Interesting are those of De principe and De fortitudine published in Naples in the eighteenth century by Michelangelo Grisolia, abbot and professor of ethics and politics at the Reale Convitto Ferdinandiano alla Nunziatella. Between 1784 and 1787, in fact, he printed I doveri del principe, Il principe eroe and L’eroe domestico, respectively dedicated to Queen Maria Carolina of Austria, King Ferdinand IV of Bourbon, and the heir Francis, the future Francis I. These publications present various points of interest not only for their historical and cultural context, namely the most turbulent years of the Italian Southern Enlightenment, but also for the ideological purpose behind the choice of both the two ethical-political treatises and their illustrious addressees. The paper investigates how these works were read, interpreted, and re-proposed by Grisolia for the education of members of the royal family, confirming the universality of Pontano’s teaching ad institutionem principis, whose validity has spanned the centuries, proving capable of addressing past generations of sovereigns as well as modern ones.
Neo-Latin Studies in Catalonia (ca. 1830–ca. 1960)
Authors: Coroleu Alejandro
Published: December 2024

As with other parts of Europe, in Catalonia attention to Neo-Latin literature has increased exponentially in the last five decades. Research groups related to the field are proliferating, the discipline has been incorporated into undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, and in recent years new translations of key Neo-Latin texts have also been appearing in a steady stream, aimed both at a scholarly audience and a broader readership. This interest has an important precedent in the period from 1830 to 1960, when several studies on Catalan Neo-Latin were produced and a considerable numer of Catalan versions of local, Italian and northern European Neo-Latin poets and prose writers were published. In this essay the author attempts to demonstrate that interest in Neo-Latin literature during those one hundred and thirty years had a broader significance and that attention to the Catalan Neo-Latin corpus as well as translations of, and studies on, Petrarch, Poggio Bracciolini, Johannes Secundus, Erasmus, Thomas More and Juan Luis Vives issued at the time should be regarded as a further contribution, however modest, to the construction of cultural identity in modern Catalonia. This is a little-studied topic which has gone unnoticed to scholars of both Neo-Latin studies and modern Catalan literature.

Czy Magdalena Hofdemel miała romans i nieślubne dziecko z Wolfgangiem Amadeuszem Mozartem oraz inne dygresje na temat niemoralnego prowadzenia się kompozytora
Authors: Zonenberg Sławomir
Published: December 2024

The article focuses on the alleged affair between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) and Magdalena Hofdemel (nee Pokorny, 1766 – after 1804), a Czech pianist and violinist, which purportedly resulted in her becoming pregnant and giving birth to an illegitimate child. onsequently, Magdalena’s husband, Franz Hofdemel (circa 1755–1791), a Viennese lawyer and court chancery clerk, out of jealousy, is said to have poisoned Mozart. This issue has long animated Mozart lovers. The community of writers on this topic can be divided into four groups. Some question the affair and thus Mozart’s poisoning. Conversely, others support the idea, with some even presenting intriguing additional information. Meanwhile, a third group argued that neither confirmation nor denial is possible, while some simply report the event without taking a stance. It can be said that the discussion presented in the article between supporters and opponents is often emotional, and evidence is generally not provided. It must be mphasized that there is no evidence for either the alleged affair or Mozart’s poisoning by Hofdemel.
Spadkobranie nieślubnych dzieci w Polsce Ludowej – od dyskryminacji do równouprawnienia
Authors: Szewczak-Daniel Mariola
Published: December 2024

In the early years of People’s Poland, the field of inheritance was governed by the legislation of the partitioning states, as the legislative efforts on civil law, including inheritance law, undertaken in the Second Polish Republic, did not yield the expected results. The first legal act regulating inheritance issues in People’s Poland was the Decree on Inheritance Law from 1946. According to this decree, illegitimate children could inherit under the same rules as children born within marriage if they were entitled to inheritance as a result of their parents’ marriage, recognized as such or the equivalent of such. The significant change in the legal status of illegitimate children in inheritance matters came with the adoption of the Family Code in 1950, which took effect on October 1, 1950. Consequently, illegitimate children and children born within marriage were granted equal rights in the field of inheritance. From then on, an illegitimate child had the same inheritance rights as children born within marriage from both their mother and father, as well as their relatives. The Civil Code of 1964, currently in force, does not differentiate the legal status of children based on whether they were born within or outside marriage. Illegitimate children inherit under the same rules as children born within marriage.
Tormented and Glorified Body – The Example of St. Adalbert and St. Stanislaus
Authors: Starnawska Maria
Published: December 2024

The two medieval patron saints of Poland, St. Adalbert and St. Stanislaus, both suffered martyrdom. The tradition of the life and the martyrdom of St. Adalbert developed from the end of the tenth century until the late Middle Ages. On the contrary, the tradition of St. Stanislaus’s martyrdom arose at the turn of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and had a fully developed form. Information about the details of the martyrdom of both saints are contained in various types of sources: hagiographical, historical and liturgical poetry. In the accounts of martyrdom there are mentions of gestures made by three subjects: the martyr, the killers and God. As a result of these acts, the body is martyred and destroyed, but the soul of the martyr is glorified. Numerous marks on the martyr’s body visible during martyrdom confirm the glory achieved by his soul.
Look Underneath, Look Above, and Look Beside. On Three Wise Men, Kings and Priests Gazing at the Infant's Genitali
Authors: Jakóbowska Agata
Published: December 2024

The theme of this article focuses on a specific group of visual artworks created during the late Middle Ages. This group is characterised by the use of the Adoration of the Three Kings iconography, with the key aspect of the composition being the act of gazing at the genitals of the Infant Jesus. The article has reviewed the medieval cultural and theological model of thinking about the naked body of the child as both sexless and male. The origins of Christian views on the biological nature of man can be traced back to Hebrew and ancient culture and the concept of Logos. The relationship between creation, male sexuality, and the ideal of physical perfection was vividly taken up by medieval theologians, and also reflected in fine art works. The formation of the iconography of representations of the Adoration and the understanding of how secular rulers and representatives of the clergy were viewed is also an important theme. The group of depictions in question seems to serve to explain the origins of power and to indicate moral standards. The use of the depiction of the naked body of the Child to demonstrate the genesis of earthly, secular, and clerical authority was specific to the late Middle Ages.
Comparative Law and Dialogues between Legal Cultures
Authors: Burckhart Thiago
Published: December 2024

Given the academic and political relevance that comparative law has assumed in recent decades, alongside the ongoing debates over comparative legal methods, this article aims to critically analyse interculturality as a methodological tool for comparative law, through the lenses of “intercultural dialogues between legal cultures”. The hypothesis to be analysed suggests that interculturality can serve as a tool that drives the revision of classical methods of comparative law. In this regard, it seeks to evidence that the approach of interculturality and intercultural dialogues between legal cultures can be conceived as a remarkable instrument for: 1) mutual understanding between different legal cultures and legal systems; 2) the suitability of the circulation and movements of legal sources; and, 3) to foster dialogues that can effectively enrich two or more legal systems and legal cultures. The article is methodologically inscribed in the field of legal theory, precisely on the theory of comparative law, in a fruitful and critical dialogue with cultural studies. It adopts a hypothetical-deductive methodological perspective combined with an analytical-critical approach, aiming to explore the intersections between law and culture in a nuanced and interdisciplinary manner. The research is conducted through a bibliographical and analytical approach, and is divided into three topics: I – Globalisation and comparative law methods; II – The circular movement of law; III – Intercultural dialogues between legal cultures.
The Imperative of Sustainability in the Business Models of the XXIst Century
Authors: Almășan Adriana
Published: December 2024

Sustainability has become a mandatory requirement in the business models of this century, with the aim to reverse the recent trends in economy. In the era of disruptive economies, the optics of what constitutes added value has significantly shifted towards a more inclusive approach. The waste effect, the greed in conducting business, the ignorance of the impact of business development’s impact over the environment, the use of certain technologies, despite the insufficient knowledge of how they work, and bureaucracy threaten the very existence of humanity. Yet, none of these perils are properly addressed from the legal perspective, nor are they prone to be mitigated in a blurred legislative system. The paper discusses the necessity of a broader understanding of sustainability, with a view to business models, as well as integrated legal solutions, at the level of European Union legislation.
The Interpretation of the Norms of the 1922 Constitution of Lithuania by the Supreme Tribunal
Authors: Lytvynenko Anatoliy A. , Machovenko Jevgenij G.
Published: December 2024

There were six constitutions in the Republic of Lithuania during the period of 1918-1940: three provisional ones (enacted in 1918, 1919, and 1920) and three permanent ones (enacted in 1922, 1928, and 1938). A body of constitutional control, such as a constitutional court or a distinct highest administrative court did not exist those days. The surviving factual material gives grounds to assert that it is necessary to systematize the interpretation of the norms of the Constitutions that were in force in the Republic of Lithuania in the period of 1918-1940 mainly owing to the judgments and rulings of the Supreme Tribunal of the Republic of Lithuania, which carried out the interpretation of the norms of the Constitution and laws either in the context of solving civil, administrative and criminal cases, cases on issues of disciplinary liability of lawyers, and in rulings on requests for interpretation of the Constitution and laws by state institutions and courts. The first provisional Constitution (1918) established (in Article 24) that "In areas where the State of Lithuania has not issued new laws, those that existed before the war are temporarily left, as long as they do not contradict the basic laws of the Provisional Constitution". Applying the pre-war law, the Supreme Tribunal checked its constitutionality every time, which means it interpreted both the law and the constitution. Therefore, it can be said that the practice of the court in the interpretation of the constitution is very abundant. However, the Supreme Tribunal very rarely publicly interpreted the constitution, i.e., expressed his opinion expressis verbis, addressed it to other courts. The Supreme Tribunal could not strike down a law that contradicted the Constitution, but the refusal to apply the law was a message to other state institutions (but only the lower courts had to follow the Supreme Tribunal's position, and the executive authorities and parliament could have a different opinion). The paper represents an analysis of the cases, which were adjudicated by the Supreme Tribunal of the Republic of Lithuania in 1923-1928, where the Court discussed the application of the norms of the Constitution and their interpretation according to some peculiar legal disputes.
Balancing Democracy and Human Rights
Authors: Muharemović Mahir , Nurkic Benjamin
Published: December 2024

The paper examines the tension between democracy, human rights, and power-sharing constitutional arrangements in multi-ethnic states, focusing on the Kovačević v. Bosnia and Herzegovina case and contrasting it with recent Latvian cases before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). It analyses the significance of the Kovačević judgement, which found Bosnia’s ethnic-based power-sharing system discriminatory, and the Latvian cases, where the ECtHR accepted ‘constitutional identity’ as a legitimate aim for differential treatment. The paper discusses the concept of constitutional identity, its recognition by the ECtHR, and the potential challenges it poses to the protection of human rights. It explores the balance between respecting democratic choices, constitutional identities, and upholding individual rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Playing with Fire at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the Challenges for International Nuclear Law in Central Europe
Authors: Novotná Marianna , Handrlica Jakub
Published: December 2024

Since the start of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station has been at the centre of heavy combat. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station, which is both the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and the tenth largest nuclear power plant in the world, has been targeted by various weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades and drones. The fact is that a potential nuclear accident in this installation may have tremendous transboundary impacts on the whole region of Central Europe. In this respect, the question arises of whether international law provides an appropriate reaction to these realities. Having outlined this question, one must bear in mind that since March 2022, the Ukrainian executive has lost effective control over the nuclear power plant, which has been controlled since then – in strict contradiction with the rules of international law - by the Russian Federation since then. This article analyses the potential applicability of three international agreements - the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident, the Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency and the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage - and will respond to a potential accident in this nuclear power plant. This article is written from the perspective of the states of Central Europe, whose territories are most likely to be affected by a nuclear incident that occurred at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station.
ICJ: Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, Advisory Opinion
Authors: Mareček Lukáš
Published: December 2024

The International Court of Justice advisory opinion addresses several complex legal questions. The Court examined whether these policies violate international law, particularly erga omnes obligations. Israel's actions were found to violate international law through the annexation of large parts of Palestinian territories. The Court explored the relationship between occupation and annexation, clarifying that while occupation is lawful if temporary and necessary, Israel's extended presence goes beyond this and amounts to annexation. The advisory opinion further addressed claims of racial segregation or apartheid, concluding that Israeli policies toward Palestinians demonstrate systematic discrimination and a policy of separation. This potentially may meet the legal definition of apartheid. The Court emphasized that all states and the UN have a duty not to recognise annexation and other violations for jus cogens. This opinion reaffirms the rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination and criticises the prolonged occupation for undermining those rights.
The Recent Transgender Court Decision in Czechia
Authors: Sabján Nikolas , Meteňkanyč Olexij M.
Published: December 2024

The present commentary examines the recent transgender court decision by the Czech Constitutional Court (CCC). In this decision, the CCC held that compulsory sterilisation and/or castration in the context of legal gender reassignment constitute a violation of human rights. This could be considered as a significant development in the Central and Eastern European context. Nevertheless, the commentary also addresses some of the more problematic aspects of the CCC’s decision. It begins by providing factual background and describing the Court's conclusions. Subsequently, the core part of the commentary aims to critically analyse the decision itself, both from internal and external legal perspectives. The commentary concludes by underlining the fact that on balance, the decisions is a step in the right direction and might serve as an inspiration for other constitutional courts in the region.
Balancing Resource Exploitation and Conservation: Indigenous Practices in Bintuni Bay, West Papua
Authors: Saefullah Rifki , Sandi S Renda , Azkiyah Hilda
Published: December 2024

West Papua is recognized as one of the regions with the highest biodiversity globally. Alongside this natural richness, the indigenous communities in areas such as Bintuni Bay have developed traditional ecological knowledge that has allowed them to manage the environment sustainably. These practices are passed down through generations and are reinforced by customary laws, taboos, and cultural rituals that remain relevant in modern times. However, increasing pressures from modernization, land clearance for plantations, mining, and infrastructure projects are posing significant threats to these traditional practices and ecological sustainability. This study explores the role of indigenous knowledge in environmental management, examining the balance between resource exploitation and conservation, disaster mitigation strategies, and the protection of cultural heritage.

This research was conducted in Islamabad, an urban city in Pakistan, to determine the effect that seniors living in older homes had on their biopsychosocial wellness. The research also determined the different factors based on the three components of the biopsychosocial model as well as the correlation of mental health with other important socio-demographic variables. The objectives of this study were based on: the ways in which the mental health of the people had been affected; the reasons behind depression and sadness; and the effect on the mental health of senior citizens residing in old homes. The sample size of the research was comprising 35-40. The sampling method used was “Non- Probability Sampling”. The reason for choosing a 35-40 sample was because our data had reached its saturation point and we had to stop data collection. The Inclusive Criteria was that the individual had been living in old house. The required age limit for senior citizens was above 50 years. While the Exclusive Criteria: Age not less than 50. The research was based on qualitative measures. Research used “interviews” as a mean of research instrument.

The 1D and 2D Model of Petroleum System Analysis for the Ratawi Oil Field by PetroMod Software
Authors: Al-Tarim Haider , Alhaidary Hiba , Salman Noor , Zaidan Rusul , Alkhafaji Ranya , Hijazi Yara
Published: December 2024

The Ratawi Oilfield is located in the southeastern part of Iraq within Basra Governorate, it is 70 km west of the Basra City center and towards west about 12 km from the North Rumaila Oilfield. The PetroMod software was used in the research and two models were created. 1D model through which the elements and processes of the petroleum system were determined, and 2D model through Rt-1, Rt-2, and R-172 oilwells, hybrid migration type was chosen between Darcy and Flowpath. The results showed the migration pathways for each of the Butmah, Sargelu, and Sulaiy formations to the main reservoirs of the Ratawi Oilfield, which are the Mishrif, Mauddud, Nahr Umr, Zubair, and Yamama formations. The results of laboratory tests and studies showed that the oils from the reservoirs of the Ratawi Oilfield were generated from more than one source rock. Therefore, this indicates the presence of a fault system that penetrates the Gotnia Formation, which is characterized by high thickness, and that these faults are of an open type that leads to the migration of the oil from the source rocks below the Gotnia Formation to the upper reservoir units in this field. This conclusion was made by creating 2 scenarios: The first scenario/possibility of the presence of hydrocarbons with absence of a fault. The results of the petroleum system analysis in the study area showed the hydrocarbon accumulation in the reservoir’s formations with a percentage of 15.7% associated gas and 84.3% of oil generated from the source rocks represented by the Sulaiy Formation. The second scenario/possibility of hydrocarbon accumulation-the presence of a fault shows the possibility of an open fault that cuts through a high-thickness of the Gotnia Formation. Therefore, the migrated oil through the fault to reservoir’s formations (Mishrif, Mauddud, Nahr Umr, Zubair, and Yamama) came from the source formations (Butmah, Sargelu, Sulaiy).
Understanding Heterogeneities in a Mixed Carbonate-Siliciclastic Reservoir of the Perth Basin, Australia
Authors: Adhari Muhammad , Marwan Marwan , Husin Husni , Ismail Nazli , Ghani Azman
Published: December 2024

The heterogeneities of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic reservoirs are not well understood, despite the importance of this type of deposit as a proven hydrocarbon reservoir in many oil and gas fields. This study aims to advance our understanding of the heterogeneities of the mixed carbonate-siliciclastic reservoir with three main objectives: (1) to characterize sedimentary facies and depositional environment of the Beekeeper Formation; (2) to better understand the mixing of siliciclastic and carbonate materials; and (3) to better understand the main influences on the development of a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic reservoir. Integrated geological analyses (sedimentary logging, acetate peels, acid digestion, and petrographic) have been conducted to achieve the aim and objectives of this study. Results show that the Beekeeper Formation consists of seventeen facies grouped into carbonate-dominated facies group, siliciclastic-dominated facies group, and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic facies group, and was deposited within a ramp type platform. Both compositional and stratal mixing were identified as present within the Beekeeper Formation. The mixing of carbonate and siliciclastic materials/minerals within this formation occurred at three different scales, which are small scale (mm to cm scale), moderate scale (cm to a few m scale), and large scale (a few m to >100 m scale). The presence of fracture systems, highly varied facies, and the mixing of carbonate and siliciclastic materials/minerals are evident in the evolution of the Beekeeper Formation which was strongly influenced by tectonic activities, climatic conditions, eustasy, sea-level fluctuations, rate of carbonate production, and terrigenous influx.

ÖZ:
19. yüzyıl sonlarında Erzincan sancağının en büyük kazası olan Kemah, Erzurum’u Sivas’a bağlayan Fırat vadisindeki tarihi ticaret yolu kenarında kurulmuş eski bir yerleşim merkeziydi. Malazgirt zaferinden sonra fethedilmiş, 1515’de de Osmanlı hakimiyetine bağlanmıştı. 19. yüzyıl sonlarında 4-8 arasında değişen nahiyesi, 55-75 arasında değişen köyleri ile toplam 17.000-18.000 arasında bir nüfusa sahipti. Bunun %20-23’ünü Ermeniler, geriye kalan %77-80’nini Müslümanlar oluşturuyordu. Eğitim-öğretime gelince; Kemah’ta 3 medrese, 1 Rüştiye, 3 iptidai, 40’ı Müslümanlara, 8’i Ermenilere ait 48 civarında sıbyan ve 2 adet misyoner mektepleri eğitim veriyordu. Kemah, eski yol güzergâhında bulunmasından dolayı ulaşım ve haberleşme alanında Abdülhamit devrinde yolları tamir edilmeye çalışılırken Harput ve Sivas’a kadar uzanan telgraf hatları döşenmiş ve halkın katkılarıyla postaneler inşa edilmiştir. Halkın başlıca geçim kaynakları tarım ve hayvancılığın yanında geleneksel dokumacılığın yapıldığı el tezgâhları oluşturuyordu. İklimi ve elverişli arazisi sebebiyle hububat ve çok çeşitli meyve ve sebze üretiliyordu. Bunun yanında bazıları daha sonra keşfedilen zengin kömür, bakır, altın madenleri ve yüzyıllardır bölgenin tuz ihtiyacını karşılayan tuzlalarıyla da meşhurdu. 19. yüzyılın sonlarında kıtlıklar, salgın hastalıklar ve eşkıyanın baskın ve talanları ile Ermeni ayaklanmaları bölge üzerinde ekonomik sıkıntılara sebep olmuşsa da devlet güvenliği sağlamak için askeri operasyonlar yapmış, bazen doktor ve ilaç göndererek salgın hastalıkları durdurmaya çalışmış, bazen de yoksul halka gerekli yiyecek yardımlarını yapmıştı.

Perluasan Kompetensi Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara dalam Mengadili Tindakan Faktual Pemerintah
Authors: Penu Stephanie Angela , Likadja Jeffry A. Ch. , Helan Yohanes G. Tuba
Published: December 2024

Keputusan dan ketetapan sebagai instrumen hukum pemerintah dalam melakukan tindakan hukum sepihak, dapat menjadi penyebab terjadinya pelanggaran hukum bagi warga negara, dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1986 tentang Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara dan perubahannya, dalam undang-undang tersebut dijelaskan yang menjadi objek sengketa tata usaha negara ialah yang berisi tindakan hukum yang dapat menimbulkan akibat hukum bagi seseorang atau badan hukum perdata, setidaknya ada kemudahan bagi masyarakat untuk menggugat pemerintah dan meminta pembatalan keputusan yang telah dibuat oleh pemerintah, namun karena adanya perluasan objek tersebut yang dimana pada Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2014 Pasal 87 huruf (a) mencantumkan penetapan tertulis, mencakup tindakan faktual. Oleh karena itu perumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah pengadilan tata usaha negara berkompeten mengadili tindakan faktual pemerintah yang merugikan masyarakat, bagaimana perlindungan hukum bagi masyarakat yang dirugikan oleh tindakan faktual pemerintah. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan undang-undang, konseptual, historis serta doktridal yang berlaku untuk mengetahui keseluruhan peraturan hukum. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa Perluasan kompetensi Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara untuk mengadili tindakan faktual pemerintah tidak berkompetensi sebab tidak dapat menimbulkan akibat hukum karena tidak sejalan dan bertentangan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1986 tentang Peradilan TUN dan Perubahannya, masyarakat tidak mendapat perlindungan hukum melalui pengadilan tata usaha negara sebagai akibat tindakan faktual dari badan/pejabat TUN.  Saran dari penelitian ini yaitu seharusnya tindakan faktual di hapus atau dihilangkan dari kompetensi pengadilan tata usaha negara dan tidak perlu ada lagi perluasan objek sengketa TUN, bagi masyarakat yang merasa dirugikan sebagai akibat dari tindakan faktual badan/pejabat TUN, seharusnya melakukan gugatan perbuatan melawan hukum ke pengadilan negeri.
Designing and Developing a Plastic Bottle Shredding Device with an RFID-Based Waste Management System at Jakarta Global University Campus
Authors: Arlince Meishin , Jaenul Ariep , Putri Arisa Olivia
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the measurement of plastic waste, commonly found in public areas such as the Global University of Jakarta campus, using both manual and automated weighing systems. This research aims to compare the accuracy of a manual scale and an automated load cell system, with a monetary conversion of 1 gram equating to IDR.3. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) design where experimental tests were conducted to measure plastic waste weight with both systems. The first test revealed a weight range of 6.5–9.5 grams using the load cell, compared to 6.7–9.7 grams on the manual scale. The second test showed a range of 16.5–21.1 grams for both systems, while the third test showed 31.8–36.3 grams on the load cell and 32–36.8 grams on the manual scale. The error margin between the two systems remained below 3%, indicating a high level of accuracy in the automated system. The findings demonstrate that the automated system reliably approximates manual measurements, with each gram of plastic waste valued at IDR.3. To enhance the system's performance, future research should focus on incorporating a specialized cutting mechanism for plastic bottles to reduce vibrations, optimizing load cell placement for precision, and constructing the prototype from durable materials such as stainless steel to ensure both safety and measurement accuracy. These improvements could further advance the system’s efficacy in plastic waste management.

Plastic waste has become a major problem that affects the environment because it is not easily biodegradable. The amount of plastic waste increases every year as the population grows. One solution to reduce the quantity of plastic is to recycle it and turn it into useful products. If plastic is not recycled, it ends up in landfills and littered on land. Utilizing plastic waste in concrete mixtures can not only improve the compressive strength but also offer a new method for managing plastic waste, which is a significant environmental concern. This study investigates the utilization of recycled plastic waste as a fine aggregate in concrete. The study employed a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 for concrete and replaced a portion of the fine aggregate with recycled plastic waste at varying percentages of 2.5, 7.5, 12.5, 17.5, and 22.5. The results of the study were focused on analyzing the workability and compressive strength of the concrete to determine the most suitable percentage of recycled plastic waste to be used. It was observed that as the percentage of recycled plastic waste increased, the workability of the concrete decreased. The optimal percentage for enhancing compressive strength through the incorporation of plastic waste was determined to be 7.6% for a 2.5% plastic waste replacement. Overall, recycled plastic waste can be suggested to use with precautions due to its ability to enhance strength when used optimally.

Good user experience (UX) design is critical for the success of websites and applications. However, translating user needs into functional UI designs poses challenges for many development teams, often resulting in misinterpretations, discrepancies in objectives, and increased costs. According to the Nielsen Norman Group, poor usability can result in the loss of up to 50% of potential users, highlighting the paramount importance of effective design practices. A wireframe serves as a crucial visual blueprint that conveys a UI's hierarchy, structure, and functionality, emphasizing usability and fostering alignment and communication among stakeholders. Despite their significance, wireframes are often underutilized or poorly executed, leading to design inefficiencies. While wireframes have long been employed as a design method, this research will focus on their role in the design process, examining whether they truly facilitate collaboration and enhance user experience.

Punarnavadi Ghrita, a traditional Ayurvedic formulation, is used in the management of Madatyaya (alcoholism). It comprises Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Godugdha (cow's milk), and Goghrita (cow's ghee). The present study focuses on the analysis of this Ghrita as per the general guidelines for drug development of Ayurvedic formulations. This formulation was prepared following the general procedure of Bhaishajya Kalpana, ensuring the authenticity and quality of raw ingredients through rigorous organoleptic assessment. Physicochemical analyses were conducted to determine parameters such as optical rotation, iodine value, saponification value, specific gravity, and free fatty acid content. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, and terpenoids. HPTLC analysis at 254nm and 366nm wavelengths identified multiple peaks, indicating a complex profile of active compounds. Heavy metal, pesticide residue, and microbial contamination tests confirmed the safety of the formulation, with no harmful contaminants detected. The findings offer a comprehensive profile of Punarnavadi Ghrita, establishing quality benchmarks for its therapeutic use and providing a reference standard for future research.
