The organic matter of rock phosphate has been the subject of numerous studies. The valuation and resolu-tion of some problems, such as fouling, encountered in the industrial production of phosphoric acid are of great interest, and enable better production yields of phosphoric acid. The solid deposits formed in the production of wet process phosphoric acid were characterized and revealed the malladrite, gypsum, trace metals, and the presence of organic matter. The identification of the organic matter was carried out in the fouling samples using FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies. The quantitative determination of the total organic matter content of the fouling samples was performed using the Walkley-Black and calcination methods. The knowledge of the organic matter in the fouling layers allows a better understanding of phenomena in processes.

This article contains a study on Yogyakarta literary agents’ strategies in producing a translated work from Indonesian into English (Indonesian-English literary work) entitled “Pilgrimage in the Land of Java”. Due to the development of literary studies based on the practice of its agents, this study aims to understand more the pattern and vision of agents in producing translated literary work in a particular context. In this case, the agents are a poet Iman Budhi Santosa, an indie publisher Interlude, and a translator Chrysogonus Siddha Malilang. This study adopts the Bourdieusian concept of strategy in cultural production as the framework of thought. Meanwhile, interview and document selection are two primary techniques to collect data for this qualitative research. This study reveals the strategies implemented by the three primary agents during the production of “Pilgrimage in the Land of Java”. Although running on the same track, it turns out that each of them had specific strategies based on the role that they possessed during the production. This study also discloses the significance of social capital in translation practice.
Writing the Self: Interior Voyage in 19th Century French Travel Writing
Authors: Mustofa Andi , Udasmoro Wening , Saktimulya Sri Ratna
Published: March 2023

Travel is a momentum to look inside that influences the travelers' existence, along with meeting and interacting with others. The self as a traveler experiences internal dynamics reflected in the travel writings. This paper analyzes five French travel writings to reveal the self-construction of travelers who explored the East in the 19th century. The analysis results show that travelers’ self-construction is divided into Enlightenment or Romantic subjects and true travelers or travelers as tourists. The Enlightenment subject prioritizes facts and empirical knowledge outside of the self for the broader interest. In contrast, the Romantic subject puts forward subjective and emotional attitudes in dealing with and narrating others used for personal gain. True travelers look for difficulties in other places to prove themselves in conquering the challenges. Travelers as tourists try to avoid the obstacles by seeking safety and comfort during the trip. The East as a travel destination is a space that offers difficulties in constructing and legitimizing the traveler's self-image with the attributes that society expects, such as courage and persistence. The five French travelers, both Enlightenment or Romantic subjects and true travelers or tourists, had various knowledge of the others due to factors such as the purpose of the trip, profession, social status, and duration of the trip. Knowledge of the others and self-disclosure narrated in travel writings manifest the French travelers’ power to control and manage themselves and represent the Other.

The use of agro-industrial residues of coffee ( Coffea arabica) for the removal of mercury from water
Authors: Tejada-Tovar Candelaria N. , Rocha-Caicedo María M. , Paz-Astudillo Isabel C.
Published: March 2023

Contamination of water bodies by heavy metals is a continuously growing environmental issue. High concentrations of mercury (Hg) in river waters are a recognized environmental problem, because it is one of the most toxic heavy metal ions as it causes damage to the central nervous system. Its negative impact has led to the development of different methods for the treatment of effluents contaminated with Hg(II). The aim of this article is to evaluate the use of coffee ( Coffea arabica) residues as adsorbent of Mercury in an aqueous solution. Four kinetic models, including intraparticle diffusion, pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Elovich kinetic models were applied to explore the internal mechanism of mercury adsorption. Results indicate that the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models could accurately describe the adsorption process. It means that chemical adsorption play an important role in the adsorption of mercury by activated carbon. Meanwhile, the external mass transfer process is more effective in controlling the activated carbon mercury adsorption according to the fitting result of the pseudo-first-order model. The fitting to Langmuir’s model suggested that the material surface is energetically homogeneous. The technique of contaminated biomass encapsulation proved to be safe for short-term disposal when metal recovery is not desired.
Straight Egyptian Arabian skull morphology presents unique surgical challenges compared to the Thoroughbred: a computed tomography morphometric anatomical study

Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to compare the skull morphology of the Straight Egyptian Arabian (SEAR) to the Thoroughbred (TB), using computed tomography (CT) in the context of surgical procedures commonly performed on the equine head.

ANIMALS

Measurements relating to surgical considerations of the equine head were taken from 29 clinically normal adult horses (15 SEAR, 14 TB).

PROCEDURES

A clinical prospective study. Standing skull CTs were performed. Fourteen gross and 10 CT measurements were taken.

RESULTS

Several variables showed a significant difference between groups, in all cases greater in TB. Head length (P < .001) and facial crest length (P < .001) were significantly shorter in SEAR than TB. The head length was shorter relative to body height in SEAR (P < .001). The lateral length of a virtual maxillary bone flap was shorter in SEAR (P < .001). SEAR had smaller craniofacial angles than TB (P = .018).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

SEAR skull morphology differs significantly from TB, making surgical approaches potentially more challenging. Compared with TB, the shorter facial crest in the SEAR group could contribute to poor surgical access to the maxillary sinus in SEAR due to shorter maxillary flap lengths. Significant differences in the craniofacial angles between SEAR and TB suggest similarities between SEAR and brachycephalic dog breeds, warranting further investigation.

Published: March 2023

The importance of early diagnosis is closely related to the fact that the possibility of predicting the disease suggested by a somewhat characteristic psycho-behavioral profile of the adolescent with schizophrenia could constitute the basis for suspecting the condition which would at act interventions to prevent or delay the disease. In support of this statement is the fact that from the sample of patients included in this study aged between 18 and 30 years, at the time of admission, 44% were already retired due to the disease. This fact is representative of the dramatic socio-professional consequences of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, especially considering the fact that in proportion they were with: high school (32%), vocational school (16%) and higher education (10%). From the patients diagnosed with schizophrenia included in the study 31 benefited from family support and 23 from the community they belong to. Studies show that in the absence of social or family support, the isolation of patients with schizophrenia can trigger depression with a higher in-cidence of self-aggressive behavior and suicidal tendencies.
Life Cycle Assessment of a Hybrid Self-Power Diesel Engine

Published: March 2023

In the present study, an attempt was made to simulate the hybrid self-power generation process from a diesel engine and propose sustainable power-share management for this self-power hybrid electrical-diesel platform from the viewpoints of environmental and economic aspects (life cycle perspective). This concept means that when the engine works at part-load condition, we need to bring the engine operating conditions to optimal load, and along with doing the necessary work, in parallel, the rest of the power be used to generate electricity to be stored in the battery for more consumption in addition to reducing pollution and reducing fuel consumption by moving towards sustainable energy production. This case study examines the differences between using a diesel engine at idle and maximum load conditions when less engine power is required and if using a diesel engine in a diesel-electricity hybrid cycle. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that to achieve the most negligible environmental impact, a lower share of generating power can be allocated to electricity generation in higher cycles than the share of generating electrical power in lower cycles. In other words, by increasing the engine speed, the amount of power consumption used to generate electricity relative to the power required from the diesel engine should be reduced so that the system suffers the most negligible environmental impact.

Published: March 2023

The article presents the results of studying the influence of tillage methods on the number of bacteria and fungi in the arable soil layer, nutrient indicators, and, consequently, the yield of Trifolium pratense. The purpose of the study is to determine how tillage affects the feeding regime and yield of Trifolium pratense. The research was conducted at the experimental field of the Educational and Scientific Research Center of Lviv National Environmental University. For the study of microorganisms in the arocenosis of meadow clover, soil samples were taken using a cylindrical drill from arable (0–20 cm) and sub-soil (20–40 cm) layers with an average weight of an individual sample of 300 g. For microbiological analysis, average samples from five individual samples were prepared. The isolation of the main agronomically useful groups of microorganisms from the soil was carried out by the method of microbiological sowing of soil extracts on solid nutrient media: for fungi – wort-agar, for bacteria – meat-peptone agar (MPA). The dilution of the soil extract for fungi and bacteria was, respectively, 1 : 1000; 1 : 100000. Microbiological seeding was performed in triplicate. The calculation of the total number of microorganisms in the soil was carried out by Tepper´s method. The yield of crops and the results of laboratory studies were processed by the method of variance analysis. The application of a tiered tillage allowed to increase the yield of Trifolium pratense green mass by 4.5 t·ha−1 (+17.0%) compared to the control (conventional plowing). It is established that tier ploughing with the PYA-4-40 plough promotes uniform distribution of nutrients in the arable soil layer and formation of homogeneous soil fertility. In such a soil environment, much more favorable conditions are created for the development of microflora and more intensive microbiological processes compared to the options of chisel and conventional (control) tillage, and, consequently, the formation of high yields of green Trifolium pratense.

Published: March 2023

Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is a rhizome plant that can benefit health, fitness and be used as a spice. The content contained in ginger can prevent and treat various diseases and act as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. The cultivation of ginger plants requires adequate nutrients and water for development and growth. Crop water requirements are influenced by crop coefficients which vary according to the plant growth stage. The crop coefficient values are needed for irrigation management and increasing irrigation efficiency. The main objective of the current study was to investigate the crop coefficient value of ginger by lysimeter. Lysimeter is a water balance device with the principle of mass conservation, where the input is rainfall and irrigation while the output is percolation and evapotranspiration. The rainfall during the investigated period was 0–62.82 mm·day−1, humidity 70.7–89.4%, and air temperature 23.7–32.9 °C. The crop coefficient of ginger increased during the vegetative growth period, i.e., 0.997 in the seedling stage, 1.072 in the tiller stage, and 1.138 in the advanced vegetative stage. The crop coefficient of red ginger was determined using a lysimeter quite accurately, with a coefficient of determination value (R
2) 0.950 and a significant value of F less than 0.05.

Materials and alloys usually possess distinct properties. In contrast to conventional materials, employment of bi-metal laminates allows achievement of better performance in various properties, such as light density, high strength, high corrosion and wear resistances. Moreover, considering the agriculture machinery and equipment, there is a growing demand for utilization of advanced materials with improved mechanical properties and durability. Bonding (RB) process is one of the new novel methods for production of bi-metal laminates. The study presented explores the asymmetric roll bonding for the purposes of fabrication of bi-metal Al/Br laminates with thickness reduction ratios 10–30% with mismatch speed ratios of 1 : 1.05, 1 : 1.1 and 1 : 1.15. Furthermore, finite element simulation of roll bonding process was investigated using ABAQUS software. Additionally, to improve the bonding strength, the effect of mismatch speed ratios was investigated. Finally, utilizing the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the bonding surface morphology of samples was studied.

Museums’ roles are diversifying considering their dynamic relationships with the present-day economy, society, and communities. Nevertheless, education is the main constant marketing museums’ complex activities. An important part of the educational mission of museums is designed with and for teachers and their students. Nevertheless, these partnerships are complex and they need more understanding for designing more effective educational programs. Having this in mind, the present study analyzes the way primary-school teachers in Bucharest, Romania, interact with museums and how they use their collections as educational resources in class. The qualitative investigation implemented shows that there is a high potential for partnership and teachers need more guidance and cooperation opportunities coming from museum educators and curators.
Crimes and Museums, but no Fiction: Portuguese Judiciary Police Museum’s Projects for the Protection of Cultural Heritage 1996-2022
Authors: Sá Leonor
Published: March 2023

This article presents three interdisciplinary and community-serving museum projects carried out by the Portuguese Judiciary Police Museum (Museu de Polícia Judiciária – MPJ), two of which are based on original ideas and unprecedented procedures. All three of them are ‘out of the walls’ crime prevention projects for the protection of Portuguese cultural heritage. The first project (starting in 1996) was dedicated to museums, the second (2003) to religious art in places of worship, and the third (2007) to the Portuguese unique and identitary Tile Heritage. The common genesis of the three projects is rooted on the one hand in two competencies of the Portuguese Judiciary Police (Polícia Judiciária, PJ) - crime prevention and crimes linked to cultural heritage – and on the other hand in museum concepts emerged in the last fifty years in museum studies - e. g. Declaration of Santiago do Chile 1972, ICOM Round Table; ‘Siena Charter’ ICOM Italy 2014; new museum definition ICOM Prag 2022. The three interdisciplinary projects – based on important partnerships from different academic areas and society sectors – are described in this article in terms of motives, implemented actions and results, and a final summary evaluation. Notwithstanding the severe financial conditions – all three projects had extremely small or even nonexistent budgets - and many not always surmountable obstacles, all three projects presented measurable positive results, and two of them received important national or international awards and were ‘exported’ to Brazil as models.
Metaphor and Metonymy in Public “Linguistic” Discussions: The Case of Female Surnames in Contemporary Czech
Authors: Římalová Lucie Saicová
Published: March 2023

Czech is a flective Slavic language that traditionally expresses gender in female surnames by suffixation. The formation of female surnames of Czech citizens is regulated by Czech law. The surnames and the related law repeatedly attract the attention of non-linguists and are discussed in the public arena. The study analyses metaphors and metonymies used in these discussions involving non-linguists. The data for the analysis are collected from public discourse, especially from newspapers and magazines. Although the main topic of the public discussions is “linguistic”, the material reveals much about Czech speakers’ understanding of other, non-linguistic topics, such as the role of the state, state legislation, and personal freedom of choice. The discussions show parts of the folk theory of language as well. The repertoire of metaphors and metonymies used in the discussions is rich and it concerns three main target domains (language; law and the state; discussion and argumentation). Many non-linguists who participate in this type of public discussion today tend to see individual freedom as more important than any linguistic tradition.
Attitudes Towards Gender-Inclusive Language Among Slovak, Czech, and Polish Speakers
Authors: Ivanová Martina , Kyseľová Miroslava
Published: March 2023

In this paper, the various arguments that have been presented with respect to usage of generic masculine forms and pair/feminine forms are discussed and analysed. The source of the data is provided by a questionnaire carried out in October 2019, including a sample of answers and comments from Slovak, Czech and Polish respondents. In the study, two dominant views on generic masculine forms, arbitrary and semantic, are introduced and discussed against empirical findings from many experiments and studies. The material from the questionnaire is qualitatively analysed with respect to the axiological reactions of the respondents. The language attitudes are further classified into eight categories: representation, offensiveness, addressing, economy, textual qualities, language naturalness, tradition and ideological markedness. The attitudes of participants from both “camps” are quoted to illustrate the argumentation process yielding to the acceptance or rejection of forms substantiating gender-inclusive language.
Language Discrimination in Polish Public Discourse (Example of Polish Football Fans Discourse)
Authors: Kowalski Paweł
Published: March 2023

In the urban space of Łódź, this paper studies some anti–Semitic aspects of discriminatory discourse of football fans. Its main goal is to present how anti-Semitic discriminatory meanings are formulated and spread in the urban space and how particular social groups (football fans) organize the urban discourse. In the multimodal material from the urban discourse, we scrutinize verbal and visual forms of discrimination captured on the walls of buildings, parks, or shopping centres in various stickers, posters, and flags. This paper implies that the language of particular social groups goes beyond closed internet communication or stadium discourse to a more open social sphere. A consequence of the social polarization found in the analysed data may be the radicalization and vulgarization of language in general.

Authors: Boguszewski Dariusz , Falkowska Magdalena , Adamczyk Jakub Grzegorz
Published: March 2023

Introduction
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a progressive stretching exercise programme on the functional limitations in physically active women.

Material and Methods
Thirty-six women took part in the study. All of them attended fitness classes (step, fat burning) at least twice a week. The study included women aged 19-26 who were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of women who performed a set of progressive stretching exercises twice a week for a period of two months after training sessions. Group 2 (the control group) included women who neither performed any exercises nor received any treatment after training sessions. On the first day of the study, each woman was subjected to the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), the Core Muscle Strength and Stability Test (CMS---amp---ST) and the Sit and Reach test (to the right and left side) before starting their fitness class. Afterwards, group 1 performed progressive stretching exercises as instructed, i.e. twice a week for approximately 20 minutes after classes, for a period of ten weeks. After ten weeks, all women performed FMS, CMS---amp---ST and Sit and Reach tests again.

Results
The overall FMS test scores of both groups before implementing the exercise programme were not significantly different. After ten weeks, the women from group 1 significantly improved their overall scores in FMS (p ---lt--- 0.001). There were no significant differences in the control group. Significant improvements in the Core Muscle Strength and Stability test scores were observed in both groups. For the Sit and Reach test, there was a significant improvement in performance in group 1 (p ---lt--- 0.001), while a regression was noted in group 2.

Conclusions
Stretching exercises can have a beneficial effect on minimising the musculoskeletal system’s functional limitations. It is advisable to include post-training complementary exercises to prevent injury.

Factors affecting reproductive health in women with disabilities, reproductive health problems and the role of the nurse Approximately15% of the world’s population lives with a physical, sensory, intellectual or mental disability, and 80% of these disabled individuals are in low– and middle-income countries. Women with disabilities are the group with the greatest difficulty in accessing and using information and services related to their sexual and reproductive health rights, which are the right of everyone around the world. The vast majority of women with disabilities do not have a say in sexual and reproductive health, they are accepted as genderless, they are evaluated as if they do not have reproductive rights, and they face obstacles. Factors such as people’s perceptions of disability, inaccessible health care facilities and equipment, discrimination, transportation barriers to accessing facilities, economic inadequacy, negative treatment from staff, unequal allocation of time and money within the household for their care prevent women from seeking, using and accessing health care. The barriers faced by women with disabilities in accessing reproductive health services can be grouped as national barriers related to the health system and individual barriers related to psychological, behavioral, social, physical, economic and education. Attention is drawn to issues such as education and care in reproductive health problems of disabled women, menstrual cycle and hygiene behaviors, sexual life, gynecological examination, family planning, parenting and fertility, sexually contagious infections. Among the health personnel, nurses are at a key point in solving the reproductive health problems of women with disabilities. For this reason, while giving care to disabled women, they should provide ethical and holistic care within the needs of disabled people, away from prejudice. In this review, it is aimed to guide in which areas women with disabilities have problems, the factors affecting them, and the nursing approaches developed for these problems.

Access to the femur triangle is often used in vascular surgery: virtually all operations on the venous system require access to the saphenofemoral junction, and if the arterial system is affected, access to the femoral artery is necessary for a significant number of surgical interventions. Classical descriptions of topographic anatomy and operative surgery characterize the area of the Scarp triangle, or the femoral triangle, as a region with a permanent topography of the vessels: under the superficial leaf of the broad fascia, within the femoral triangle, there are large femoral vessels surrounded by the vagina – a. and v. femoralis. Topographically, the artery is lateral, the vein is medial. They lie in the recess, which forms the muscles of the bottom of the femoral triangle – m. iliopsoas (outside) and m. pectineus (inside), covered with a deep leaf of the broad fascia. The main branches of these vessels at the subfascial level are a. and v. profunda femoris, leaving at a distance of 3-5 and 6-8 cm below the inguinal ligament from the main trunks. At the episfascial level, v. femoralis has another major influx – v. saphena magna, which passes in the fatty deposits of the medial surface of the thigh. In the femoral triangle, the vein penetrates the wide fascia of the thigh through hiatus saphenus, flows into the femoral vein from the medial surface, forming a saphenofemoral anastomosis. Inflows v. saphena magna on the thigh – v. epigastrica superficialis, vv. pudendae externae and v. circumflexa ilium superficialis – flow into it within the femoral triangle. In addition, there may be less permanent tributaries: v. saphena accessoria medialis and v. saphena accessoria lateralis. At the same time, in practice, there are variants of individual variability in the topography of the vessels in this area, which can create difficulties and lead to errors both in the course of diagnosis and in the following – when performing surgical interventions. In the article, the main variants of the topography of the femoral triangle vessels, revealed by ultrasonic duplex scanning of vessels, are presented in clinical examples. Keywords: Trigonum femorale Scarpae, variants of vessel topography..

Objective: To study methods of early detection of TB diagnosis, morbidity, and prevalence of combined infection of TB/HIV and mortality from TB among HIV-infected patients. Methods: The analysis of the detection, prevalence and mortality from tuberculosis among HIV-infected patients carried out according to official report data of the Republican Center for Protection of the Population from Tuberculosis for 2005-2017 years. Results: Reach people living with HIV (PLHIV) to detect (TB) in them remains at a low level despite the increase in this indicator from 18% in 2006 to 56% in 2017. The TB incidence rate in Tajikistan in 2007-2008 was 85.1-85.2 cases per 100 thousand of the population and in 2015-2016 it decreased to 60.6-58.6 cases per 100 thousand of the population. Prevalence rates of HIV infection in 2007-2008 amounted to 15.5-20.1 cases per 100 thousand of the population, and in 2015-2016 it increased to 106.0-115.1 per 100 thousand of the population, i.е. marked its growth by 15.1 times. The prevalence of combined infection of TB/HIV in Tajikistan in 2006 was only 12 cases, and in 2016, it reached 1227, an increase of 102 times. The lethality among PLHIV from TB in 2006 was 41.4%; in the future, it increased annually and in 2011 reached 71.2% of the total number of PLHIV. Subsequent years, this indicator gradually decreased to 45% in 2016 (reaching 26.2%). Conclusion: The obtained results testify that the detection and diagnostics of TB among HIV-infected persons in Tajikistan carried out in the modern level. The prevalence of TB/HIV remains tense. The mortality rate among PLHIV from TB for 2006-2016 decreased from 71.2% to 45%, i.e. by 26.2%. Keywords: Tuberculosis, prevalence, TB/HIV combined infection, mortality.

Objective: A comparative analysis of the frequencies of MTB strains with different types of drug resistance (DR) among different contingents of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Kyrgyz Republic for 2 years. Methods: The results of tests for drug sensitivity (TDS) of the TB agent have been studied according to the data of the National Reference Laboratory, bacteriological laboratories of Bishkek and Osh cities that conducted TDS for the regions of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2016-2017. Results: Among TB patients registered in 2017 in compare with 2016 year, statistically significant less frequently registered case (р<0,001, c², OR=1.237, 95% CI 1.13-1.63 vs. 1211 cases in 2016 year). MTB complexes using the Xpert-MTB/RIF method were identified in 2017 more (706/11.7% vs. 574/9.0%, р<0,001, c², OR=1.341, 95% CI 1.19-1.51), but the resistance of MTB to rifampicin was diagnosed 1.8 times less (299/52.1% versus 270/38.2%, р<0,001, c², OR=1.756, 95% CI 1.40-2.19). It was found that in 2017, sensitive strains were registered less often (1012/38.7% versus 1138/43.1%, p=0.002, c², OR=1.199, 95% CI 1.07-1.34) and more often strains of TB with XDR (127/4.8% versus 72/2.7%, р<0,001, c², OR=1.821, 95% CI 1.36-2.44) than in 2016. Reduction of strains with preserved sensitivity of MBT is observed due to their decrease among new ones (р<0,001, c², OR=1,183, 95% CI 1.04-1.35) and previously treated cases of TB (p=0.048, c², OR=1.439, 95% CI 1.00-2.06). The increase in strains of TB with XDR is 2.7 times higher among new cases (21/1.2% vs 8/0.4%, p=0.020, c², with Yates correction, OR=2.745, 95% CI 1.21-6.21), and among previously treated TB 1.5 times (p=0.028, c², OR=1.519, 95% CI 1.04-2.21). Conclusion: The results of the conducted studies indicate that the proportion of sensitive strains of TB tendency to decrease. The situation of MDR-TB in the country is unfavourable and has not changed in two years, moreover, in 2017 there was a 1.8-fold increase in strains of TB with XDR (p<0,001), especially 2.7 times in new cases (p=0.020) than in 2016.

Published: March 2023

Village development is a critical focus in the third Nawacita, outlined in the 2020-2024 RPJMN. However, uncertainties persist concerning administrative law, particularly in the areas of institutional authority and mechanisms for examining village financial management. The State Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (BPK-RI), as the principal financial auditor, lacks a clear mandate under the current State Finance Law to audit village governance and finances. This research utilized normative and empirical juridical analysis methods to identify the necessary audit model for village governments. It was framed using theories of state finance, state financial audits, and authority. The findings indicate a need for legislative alignment between the Laws on State Finance and the Laws on Village Governance. The research concluded that the current authority granted to BPK-RI over village finances carries risks of arbitrary actions and potential lawsuits against BPK-RI. Furthermore, interviews with the Nagari government in Solok Regency highlighted that BPK-RI's audits have positively impacted performance enhancements in village governance. It was suggested that BPK-RI should concentrate on SPI audit models and the performance of the Nagari government. Therefore, an integrated audit model emerges as the ideal approach for effective oversight of village finances.
PRETRIAL JUDGE’S AUTHORITY IN ADJUDICATING ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS BY THE DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF CUSTOMS
Authors: Effendi Erdianto , Yulia Rena
Published: March 2023

The Directorate General of Customs and Excise has both administrative and law enforcement authority, which judges commonly interpret as including investigative powers, leading to the approval of pretrial requests for administrative actions. This research utilizes normative legal research with a descriptive qualitative approach, using qualitative analysis techniques and a range of legal materials. It finds that interpretations of administrative authority among pretrial judges vary, with only two out of five considering it beyond pretrial scrutiny. This suggests a potential overreach in judicial interpretation regarding the administrative actions of Customs and Excise. The research recommends issuing a Supreme Court Circular or amending the Customs and Excise Law to clearly define and limit such authority, thereby preventing expansive judicial interpretation of enforcement powers.

Published: March 2023

This research examines the intersection of children's rights and the provision of special protections for minors involved in legal proceedings, specifically focusing on children who are offenders. The study is motivated by the heightened vulnerability of children to human rights violations when they engage with the criminal justice system. Employing an empirical juridical or sociological legal research method, this work scrutinizes both the relevant legal frameworks and their real-world application. Through a combined sociological juridical and statutory approach, the research evaluates all regulations pertinent to the legal issues at hand. Data were analyzed using descriptive and qualitative methods, alongside deductive and inductive reasoning to reach conclusions. The findings reveal that the enforcement of special protection rights for child offenders by both law enforcement agencies and the Ternate City Regional Government falls short of expectations. Despite some cases being addressed through restorative justice measures, there remains significant room for improvement. Efforts by the Ternate City Regional Government to meet the rights of child offenders and advance its status as a Child-Friendly City—including the provision of facilities and services tailored to the needs of child offenders such as specialized detention cells, recreational activities, social advocacy, and access to education, health care, and religious services—are hindered by both internal and external challenges. These include the absence of a Regional Regulation on Child Protection to serve as a legal foundation at the regional level, a lack of rehabilitation facilities for children with substance abuse issues, and a general lack of public awareness and understanding regarding the principles of restorative justice, which prioritize the best interests of the child.
