Pengaruh Paham Positivisme dalam Perkembangan Ilmu Hukum di Indonesia
Authors: Afifi Guntur
Published: March 2024

Salah satu pilar utama reformasi 1998 di Indonesia adalah menegakkan supremasi hukum. Tetapi sejumlah pihak mengakui bahwa kondisi hukum kita saat ini masih sangat memprihatinkan. Salah satu kritik utama yang dilontarkan oleh pemikiran postmodernisme tentang hukum adalah bahwa kebenaran hukum bukanlah sesuatu yang pasti, mutlak, satu, dan objektif, melainkan relatif, plural, konsensual. Perkembangan teori dan paradigma dalam semua disiplin keilmuan, tidak terlepas dari epistemologi yang berkembang dalam filsafat ilmu seperti terbentuknya paradigma positivistic dalam hukum, yang kini berangsur menuju pergeseran kepada post-posivistik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh paradigma positivisme dalam perkembangan ilmu hukum di Indonesia. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut penelitian dilakukan dengan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa paham positivisme yang dikemukakan oleh August Comte telah berhasil melakukan perubahan yang signifikan dalam perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan, yangmana hal ini mempengaruhi perkembangan ilmu hukum. Tampak jelas adanya dalam hukum Indonesia, secara konsep, pembentukan hukum maupun dalam praktik hukumnya. Postmodernisme hukum menolak pandangan modernism tentang hukum sebagai sesuatu yang sepenuhnya rasional, objektif, pasti, netral, dan universal dan sebagai gantinya menekankan ketidakpastian, inkonsistensi, subjektivitas,  konstruksi sosial, lokalitas, pluralitas, bahkan juga diskriminatif dan manipulatif.

Published: March 2024

Saat ini perkembangan teknologi memiliki kemajuan yang sangat cepat. Salah satu perkembangaan teknologi tersebut adalah adanya cryptocurrency sebagai mata uang virtual yang dapat dijadikan alat tukar resmi, namun cryptocurrency tersebut belum memiliki kepastian hukum yang jelas dalam mengatur kegiatan transaksi virtual tersebut sehingga dapat menimbulkan permasalahan hukum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau regulasi cryptocurrency khususnya terhadap tidak pidana di Indonesia. Untuk mecapai tujuan tersebut metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil penelitian pengadaan aktivitas pembayaran di Indonesia diatur oleh Peraturan Bank Indonesia Nomor 18/40/PBI/2016 tentang Penyelenggaraan Pemrosesan transaksi pembayan, dimana peraturan belum terdapat regulasi terkait penggunaan cryptocurrency sebagai alat pembayaran. Sehingga cryptocurrency belum memiliki perlindungan hukum.
Protection of Globally Renowned Brands Which Not Registered in Indonesia
Authors: Natasha Daniella , Rusdiana Shelvi
Published: March 2024

The protection arrangements for unregistered globally well-known brands are not explained in detail regarding their protection from passing off in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how the protection of well-known marks that have not been registered in Indonesia and to prove that internationally registered marks that have not been registered in Indonesia must still be protected in Indonesia. This research is legal research that uses normative juridical research methods by emphasizing argumentation and uncovering meaning by interpreting existing laws and regulations based on the legal system relating to trademark protection. The results of the research show that Article 83 (2) of Law No. 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications (hereinafter referred to as the MIG Law) does not protect brand indications other than the indications regulated in Article 1 paragraph (1) of the MIG Law. Furthermore, with the argument that a lawsuit can only be filed after the lawsuit for cancellation has started indicates that Article 83 (2) only covers violations of the transfer of well-known marks that are not registered through third-party registration. Meanwhile, the violation of passing off by using an unregistered name without legal rights is not covered in this article. In addition, the enactment of Article 83 (2) does not fully accommodate passing off lawsuits in Indonesia.

Published: March 2024

This research examines the operation of a passively Q-switched erbium-doped all-fibre laser (EDFL) using a silver (Ag) based saturable absorber (SA) by comparing the output characteristics of the Q-switched laser with those of continuous wave all-fibre lasers. A study was done on how the laser's Q-factor is modified and affects the rate at which pulses are repeated, as well as their output power, width, and energy. The results showed that high-energy Q-switched pulses were successfully generated at the essential 1.5 µm wavelength within the pump power range of 83.6 mW to 171.7 mW, with repetition rates ranging from 33.46 kHz to 77.96 kHz. The EDFL generated a pulse with a width of 4.033 µs and an energy of 2.82 nJ at a pump power of 171.7 mW. The results indicate that Ag may potentially be a good SA for pulse production in the 1.5 µm wavelength area as well as for use in a wide range of applications.

Published: March 2024

Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks, and data management systems that enable the secure, effective, and dependable distribution of power while also delivering enhanced capabilities to energy consumers. The system also can measure power usage, connect, and disconnect service, detect tampering, identify and isolate outages, and monitor voltage automatically and remotely, which were previously unavailable or required user intervention. This article focuses on AMI and effectively integrating renewable energy sources (RES). However, the study also recommends smart metering for renewables such as solar photovoltaic (PV), hydropower, anaerobic digestion (ad) metering, and renewable energy storage, in which AIM thoroughly supervises the energy utilized by users' appliances. With the prediction of new ancillary services connected with contestability, related regulation, the sufficiency of consumer protection, and safety issues, the magnitude of renewable energy sources in the AMI is an almost unprecedented problem for consumers. The present energy management problems include reducing the power supply-demand gap and boosting power supply dependability. Implementing AMI with distributed renewable energy resources might be a viable strategy for lowering power consumption, improving power supply management, and maximizing management resource use.

Authors: Fitria Vany , Mardiani Desika Putri , Aderibigbe Abdulsalam
Published: March 2024

Waria also known as transgender women, despite consistent exclusion from society, are becoming increasingly visible in Indonesia during the era of globalization. In recent years, they have gained more popularity by leveraging the rapid development of social media. This study aims to critically examine public perceptions of transgender, using the case of one of Indonesia's most famous transgender figures, Lucinta Luna. The researcher analyses Instagram users’ comments on her account, as a representation of how the public responds to Luna's identity as a transgender. This study utilizes a qualitative approach and thematic analysis as the analytical method. To analyze the data, this research uses Computer-Aided Qualitative Analysis Software (CAQDAS) NVivo 12. Furthermore, this study adopts Hall's theory of 'the other' to critically examine how Indonesians respond to transgenders. This research found that two significant themes emerged from overall Instagram users' comments on Luna's identity, which are negative and positive public perceptions. In both themes, three sub-themes emerged: sarcasm, religious criticism, and sexual harassment in the negative theme, and admiration, comedy, and a supportive attitude in the positive theme.
Creating places of distinction: spatial conditions for climate policies in Flanders
Authors: Salet Willem , Coppens Tom
Published: March 2024

Climate-related challenges are forcing a systemwide spatial reorganisation of Europe’s metropolitan areas. The region of Flanders is an excellent example of this mission. This article explores opportunities for a new mode of spatial organisation in an extremely sprawled urban region. The challenges for a climate-neutral built environment, energy supply and accessibility can be addressed more effectively by integrating mobility and transport policies in a polycentric interconnected urban system of distinct places. Although this article discusses the Flemish case and its historical particularities, our recommendations also benefit other sprawled regions in Europe.
Optimization of position and rating of shunt and series connected FACTS devices for transmission congestion management in deregulated power networks
Authors: Alagapuri Vengadesan , Radhakrishnan Ashok Bakkiyaraj , Padaiyatchi S. Sakthivel
Published: March 2024

Transmission congestions are caused by electricity trading between generators and distribution companies in a deregulated environment. Power system operation and security in liberalized scenarios are maintained by removing branch overloads. A flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) controller is installed in a suitable location to redistribute the power flow among the transmission lines so that the power flows are brought within the capacity of the lines. In this work, series-connected thyristor-controlled switched compensators (TCSCs) and shunt-connected Volt-Ampere reactive (VAR) static compensators (SVCs) are installed in appropriate locations to alter the power flow patterns and to remove overloads. It is proposed to reduce the overload of transmission lines by locating series and shunt connected FACTS devices at proper locations. The size and location of TCSC and SVC devices greatly affect their ability to meet a congestion management goal. An optimization process optimizes the location and size of these devices to maximize the congestion mitigation benefits of the TCSC and SVC controllers. In this work, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used to optimize the value of the objective function by appropriately choosing the location and size of the FACTS controllers. This algorithm has a few parameters that are tuned to give the best overall results. A WOA-based method is proposed to optimize the size and location of the FACTS devices and is implemented on the IEEE-30 bus test case. The results were compared and found to be improved with those of other algorithms such as the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and the firefly algorithm (FFA).

Vehicle detection in Remote Sensing Images (RSI) is a specific application of object recognition like satellite or aerial imagery. This application is highly beneficial in different fields like defense, traffic monitoring, and urban planning. However, complex particulars about the vehicles and the surrounding background, delivered by the RSIs, need sophisticated investigation techniques depending on large data models. This is crucial though the amount of reliable and labelled training datasets is still a constraint. The challenges involved in vehicle detection from the RSIs include variations in vehicle orientations, appearances, and sizes due to dissimilar imaging conditions, weather, and terrain. Both specific architecture and hyperparameters of the Deep Learning (DL) algorithm must be tailored to the features of RS data and the nature of vehicle detection tasks. Therefore, the current study proposes the Intelligent Water Drop Algorithm with Deep Learning-Driven Vehicle Detection and Classification (IWDADL-VDC) methodology to be applied upon the Remote Sensing Images. The IWDADL-VDC technique exploits a hyperparameter-tuned DL model for both recognition and classification of the vehicles. In order to accomplish this, the IWDADL-VDC technique follows two major stages, namely vehicle detection and classification. For vehicle detection process, the IWDADL-VDC method uses the improved YOLO-v7 model. After the vehicles are detected, the next stage of classification is performed with the help of Deep Long Short-Term Memory (DLSTM) approach. In order to enhance the classification outcomes of the DLSTM model, the IWDA-based hyperparameter tuning process has been employed in this study. The experimental validation of the model was conducted using a benchmark dataset and the results attained by the IWDADL-VDC technique were promising over other recent approaches.

La démarche Capdroits a été initiée à la suite de l’interpellation suscitée par la Convention relative aux Droits des Personnes Handicapées (CDPH de l’ONU) et les controverses qu’elle a engagées. Elle a pour objet de recherche les droits humains et le handicap. Elle est basée sur la participation des personnes directement concernées par les situations de handicap à la démarche de recherche. Elle donne une importance particulière à leurs expertises d’usage et expérientielles, en mettant en œuvre une méthode de « mise en problème public de l’expérience ». Entre 2019 et 2022, nous nous sommes engagés dans une phase de recherche qui porte sur les conditions d’appropriation de l’article 19 de la CDPH et de son Observation générale n° 5 qui invite à développer des « stratégies et plan de désinstitutionnalisation ». Nous avons inscrit cette question de la « désinstitutionnalisation » et des institutions dans une réflexion plus générale sur l’autonomie de vie et avons formulé une prise de position sur la “désinstitutionnalisation” que nous proposons de mettre en perspective et d’approfondir dans cet article.
« Un grand dégénéré physique et mental ». Étude du parcours de vie de Maxence C. dans la Belgique du XXe siècle
Authors: Dal Zilio Samuel
Published: March 2024

Cette contribution emprunte les outils de la microhistoire et de l’histoire par le bas pour interroger l’expérience d’un individu confronté aux institutions de prise en charge des personnes vulnérables et à la marge dans la Belgique du XXème siècle. Par l’examen d’un corpus d’archives jusque-là inexploitées dans une recherche scientifique, cet article retrace ainsi le parcours de vie sur des temps longs d’une personne, Maxence C., qui, qualifiée à la fois de malade mental, d’handicapé et de délinquant par les autorités administratives, médicales et judiciaires, entame dès son enfance un parcours institutionnel de plus de soixante années. Cette étude de la trajectoire de Maxence C. permet de constater, d’une part, que les oppressions associées à l’assignation d’une identité marginale n’empêchent pas l’émergence de formes de résistance et la mise en place de stratégies de la part des individus marginalisés et, d’autre part, que la spécialisation croissante des institutions chargées de prendre en charge les personnes vulnérables au cours du XXème siècle donne lieu à des situations d’errance institutionnelle pour des cas complexes et des profils multiformes tels que celui de Maxence.
Une inclusion qui fédère, une institution qui divise ? Pour une lecture ancrée, pragmatique et graduelle de la désinstitutionnalisation
Authors: Hachez Isabelle , Marquis Nicolas
Published: March 2024

Cet essai part de l’idée selon laquelle un débat sain et apaisé sur les notions d’institution et de désinstitutionnalisation dans le champ du handicap ne peut se faire ni sans clarifier conceptuellement celles-ci, ni sans les relier à l’arrière-fond d’idées-valeurs (inclusion, autonomie) qui les sous-tendent, en particulier dans le contexte des sociétés individualistes. Après avoir éclairé le statut de notre propos, trois temps rythment celui-ci. La première partie expose succinctement le système de la Convention onusienne relative aux droits des personnes handicapées (c’est-à-dire la Convention elle-même et l’interprétation qu’en propose le Comité des droits des personnes handicapées) à partir de trois couples de notions structurantes : handicap et égalité, institution et désinstitutionnalisation, autonomie et inclusion. La deuxième partie propose un décentrement du système de la Convention d’abord en revenant au texte, puis en élargissant la focale aux droits d’autres acteurs ainsi qu’à d’autres interprétations juridiques. La troisième et dernière partie prend le risque de la prospective, en proposant une approche non pas radicale, mais pragmatique, graduelle et ancrée de la désinstitutionnalisation, qui prenne au sérieux les indéterminations attachées aux mots et la diversité des situations vécues. En bref, en tentant de formuler questions et pistes, cet essai vise à renforcer et rendre praticable la poursuite d’un horizon normatif essentiel : la lutte contre toute forme inacceptable de ségrégation et d’intervention sur autrui.
A unifying inclusion, a divisive institution? For a grounded, pragmatic and gradual reading of deinstitutionalisation
Authors: Hachez Isabelle , Marquis Nicolas
Published: March 2024

This essay starts with the idea that a healthy and calm debate on the notions of institutionalisation and deinstitutionalisation in the field of disability cannot be achieved without first clarifying these conceptually, nor without linking them to the background of the underlying ideas/values (inclusion, autonomy), in particular in the context of individualistic societies. We will begin our discussion by clarifying our position, we will then divide our subject into three parts. The first part gives a succinct overview of the system of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (that is, the Convention itself and the interpretation suggested by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) based on three pairs of key concepts: disability and equality, institutions and deinstitutionalisation and autonomy and inclusion. In the second part we suggest putting the Convention system into perspective, first by returning to the text and then by expanding the focus to include other legal interpretations in addition to the rights of other actors. In the third and final part, we consider the future by proposing an approach to deinstitutionalisation that is not radical but pragmatic, gradual and grounded, and that seriously considers the indeterminacies attached to words and the diversity of situations in which people live. In short, by attempting to formulate questions and avenues, this essay aims to strengthen and make practicable the pursuit of an essential normative horizon: the fight against all unacceptable forms of segregation and intervention in the lives of others.
Prévenir et agir sur les violences à caractère sexuel : lorsque la qualité des soins de santé dédiés aux personnes concernées se heurte au déficit de crédibilité
Authors: Vallée-Ouimet Sandrine , Labrecque-Lebeau Lisandre , Pariseau-Legault Pierre , Bujold Audrey
Published: March 2024

Le Québec tend vers la reconnaissance des violences à caractère sexuel (VCS) comme un enjeu de santé publique considérant la gravité de leurs conséquences sur la santé des victimes. Cette reconnaissance s’inscrit dans le contexte de vagues de dénonciation (ex. #Metoo de 2017). L’échec de l’intelligibilité du phénomène a pour effet d’atteindre injustement la crédibilité des victimes de VCS, qui ne sont souvent pas prises au sérieux par les institutions publiques. Plusieurs auteures ont étudié l’impact de ce déficit de crédibilité en contexte judiciaire, mais peu se sont intéressées au processus institutionnel inhérent aux établissements de santé. À partir d’une recension systématique des écrits s’intéressant aux pratiques soignantes auprès des victimes de VCS, cet article vise deux objectifs. Nous souhaitons contribuer à la réflexion collective portant sur la prévention et les soins des victimes de VCS afin de mieux comprendre les injustices épistémiques (IE) vécues par celles-ci. Ensuite, nous souhaitons proposer des pistes de réflexion pour le personnel soignant afin de les sensibiliser aux IE et favoriser l’accompagnement des victimes et la prévention des VCS.
L’Académie Populaire de la Santé, une formation en promotion de la santé par et pour les personnes concernées : proposition d’une meilleure prise en compte des principes de justice épistémique
Authors: Quesnay Paul , Margat Aurore
Published: March 2024

Parmi les réponses pour lutter contre les inégalités sociales et territoriales en santé, les éducations en santé apparaissent comme un moyen de travailler à une redistribution plus équitable des rôles, des pouvoirs et des ressources entre les différentes parties prenantes. C’est le cas lorsque ces éducations sont pensées comme un outil au service de la promotion de la santé. Dans une logique de justice épistémique, il s’agit de prendre en considération le savoir des personnes qui vivent ces injustices et de se fier à leur expérience vis-à-vis de la santé pour proposer des solutions répondant à leurs besoins. Cet article vise à décrire le parcours de formation que constitue l’Académie Populaire de la Santé, ancré dans le territoire de la Seine-Saint-Denis. L’ensemble des éléments pédagogiques sont analysés au regard du cadre des injustices épistémiques et amènent à discuter les repères structurants d’une formation promotrice de santé, s’appuyant sur les principes de justice épistémique.

Abstract. The recent excavations at the site of Aḥihud uncovered the remains of an Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B village on the bank of Nahal Ḥilazon (Acre valley, Israel) tributary channel. The site is in an ecotone between the western Galilee hills and the northern coastal plain. The lithic assemblage from the site includes typical PPNB arrowheads (about a third are El-Khiam and Helwan types) as well as hundreds of sickle blades. The fauna include evidence to the hunting of large and small game as well as small predators. The flora from the site shows evidence for an intensive legume crop agriculture. Thousands of legume seeds were concentrated in two silos. The vast majority are broad beans (Vicia faba) that predate the earliest evidence for an established cultivation of legumes in the Southern Levant. Other finds attest to the acquisition of exotic goods such as various green stones and obsidian from the Northern Levant or shells from the Red Sea.
`Ainab 1 and the Eastward Expansion of Early PPNB Traditions: Unveiling Neolithic Connections between the Levant and Arabia through the Lenses of Chipped Stone Industry
Authors: Štefanisko Denis , Purschwitz Christoph , Gebel Hans Georg K.
Published: March 2024

Abstract. `Ainab 1, situated in southeastern Jordan near the Saudi Arabian border, represents a unique archaeological site discovered by H. G. K. Gebel. This small open-air hunting encampment encompasses 11 structures, with structure A selected for excavation during the 2014 season. The excavations yielded over 5,000 chipped industry specimens, complemented by fragments of animal bones and ground stones. The camp’s dating to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (EPPNB) era relies on the exclusive presence of diagnostic Helwan points, Hagdud truncation and bidirectional blade technology. As such, `Ainab 1 signifies the farthest known EPPNB outpost boasting structures in Transjordan and the Arabian Peninsula. This research paper presents the findings from spatial, technological, typological, and raw material analyses of all chipped stone artefacts procured from structure A’s surface and excavation. The comparative investigation of technical, typological, and spatial patterns has facilitated the reconstruction of the chipped industry’s chrono-spatial patterns. These results illuminate new perspectives on the dialogue between the Levantine core area of the Fertile Crescent and peripheral Jordanian regions and further provide fresh insights into the spread of Neolithic into the Arabian Peninsula.
Using Soundscape to Design Branded Environments
Authors: Ciaburro Giuseppe , Kumcu Elif Hasret
Published: March 2024

This study examines the implementation of soundscape in shopping centers for amplifying the branding experience, generating a distinctive and immersive atmosphere dubbed Brandscape. Visual aesthetics historically influenced commercial venue layout and branding, but recent discussions emphasize sound's impact on consumer attitudes and buying behaviors. Integrating soundscape elements into shopping centers provides a distinctive approach to creating a memorable brand identity. By purposefully crafting the acoustic atmosphere, vendors can evoke emotions, reinforce brand ideals, and cultivate a deeper connection with their target customers. Our study delves into the key principles of effective Brandscape design through the integration of soundscape in shopping centers. The study examines the psychological effect of sound on consumer behavior and investigates how different auditory stimuli can impact mood, arousal, and attention. Furthermore, it emphasizes the significance of preserving coherence between the brand's visual identity and the chosen soundscape, resulting in a unified and all-encompassing sensory encounter for consumers.
Artificial Neural Networks for Classification of Pathologies Based on Moments of Cardiac Cycle
Authors: Queiroz Jonathan Araujo , Sousa Gean , Rocha Priscila Lima , Magalhões Yonara Costa , Barros Filho Allan Kardec
Published: March 2024

The advancement of cardiac pathology quantification hinges on the utilization of computer algorithms. To transform this vision into reality, these algorithms must distinguish among the most prevalent cardiac disorders. While some studies have leveraged the R-R interval for data extraction from ECG signals to diagnose various arrhythmias, this approach falls short in measuring changes in other ECG waves, like distortions in the P wave indicative of atrial fibrillation. This chapter introduces a new metric bi-level based on Shannon entropy to gauge the information within cardiac cycles, accounting for both the events themselves and their momentary decomposition. Experimental results reveal the method's high accuracy in classifying four distinct cardiac signal types (including one healthy signal and three pathological ones), achieving a classification rate ranging from 97.28% to 100% when employing a multilayer perceptron neural network. It holds great promise in aiding the diagnosis of cardiac pathologies.

Authors: Mendonca Felippe , Mattos Paulo , Sudo Felipe Kenji
Published: March 2024

Although it has now been accepted that most individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain symptomatic in adulthood, the idea that the condition may persist in those aged 60+ has only recently garnered consideration from clinicians and researchers. Consequently, little is known about how the condition manifests in late life, and diagnosis is challenging in those in this age group. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of knowledge on ADHD in old age, shedding light on its epidemiology, diagnostic challenges, clinical manifestations, comorbidities, and treatment options.
An Overview of Machine Learning Algorithms on Microgrids
Authors: Kanimozhi G. , Jain Aaditya
Published: March 2024

The concept of microgrid (MG) is based on the notion of small-scale power systems that can operate independently or in conjunction with the larger power grid. MGs are generally made up of renewable energy resources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage devices (batteries). Overuse of non-renewable resources causes depletion of the ozone layer and eventually leads to global warming. The classical techniques are not sufficient to solve the problem and require modern solutions like machine learning (ML) algorithms—a subset of artificial intelligence, and deep learning -a subset of ML algorithms. Though MGs have many advantages, they also have issues like high costs, complex management, and the need for better energy storage. ML can predict energy demand, optimize power flow to save money, improve energy storage management, enhances cybersecurity, and protects MGs from hackers. The chapter presented here provides a review of different ML techniques that can be implemented on MGs, their existing problems, and some improvised solutions to overcome the grid issues.

Published: March 2024

Depression, stress, anxiety, or other mental illnesses are crucial problems today in this society. Because of these problems, anybody can lose interest in general routine activities and attempt suicide. That's why it is a very serious problem. Nobody wants to discuss with doctors or anybody else their personal problems that are the major reasons of these issues. So, there is a need for an automated system for different age groups that can help in detecting these types of problems. No studies have been proposed in this regard to detect these types of problems.

Even as we celebrate women's knowledge today, their true empowerment globally still lags behind. Women continue to face suppression and minority treatment in workplaces, a consequence of gender inequality and narrow mindsets among humans. From physical assaults and domestic abuse to sexual harassment, trafficking, and gender-based crimes, women face a spectrum of threats solely because of their gender. Women are often being objectified, leading to both physical and psychological harm, a disturbing reality that persists in society. Safeguarding women's rights and dignity is an urgent priority that requires immediate attention. Despite the availability of various technologies aimed at women's safety, they lack efficacy and fail to provide timely assistance when needed. This goal is to create AI-driven predictive algorithms with probabilistic models that proactively alert women before potential dangers, ensuring their safety by anticipating and preventing potential harm.

Published: March 2024

Em meio às diversas redes sociais, como Instagram, Facebook, Twitter e outras, existe uma construção de identidades mediadas por relações pessoais, sociais e tecnológicas. Pautados em como artistas criam seus autorretratos utilizando como forma de divulgação e inspiração a #meettheartist, o seguinte artigo analisa as ilustrações de Breeze Spacegirl (Flávia Borges) e Marco ByM. Com o aporte bibliográfico de Judith Butler, Erwin Panofsky, Karl Erik Schøllhammer dentre outros, busca-se refletir como tais artistas se apresentam enquanto pessoas pretas e não heteronormativas em suas ilustrações ligadas à hashtag no ambiente do Instagram.
O autorretrato na fotografia contemporânea e a negociação de um novo repertório visual sobre a amamentação
Authors: Beserra Elisa Elsie , Pavan Maria Angela , Costa da Silva Josimey
Published: March 2024

As fotografias das obras "Você está morta" e "O leite do fim" conduzem a escrita ao revelarem novas representações visuais artísticas sobre a amamentação na contemporaneidade a partir de autorretratos. Três fotografias de cada ensaio foram escolhidas por suas conexões visuais com a produção de leite pelo corpo humano. As obras produzidas por artistas visuais, mães, visibilizam uma ação reservada ao espaço íntimo e tensionam o regime de representação dominante sobre o aleitamento materno, possibilitando a negociação de construção para um novo repertório visual. Autoetnografia e etnografia são reconhecidas como metodologia científica crítica e servem de instrumento para a pesquisa.
Do íntimo ao êxtimo do sexo: discussões sobre performances de si no projeto audiovisual Sem Capa
Authors: Vieira Filho Maurício João , Ramalho Procópio Mariana
Published: March 2024

João Pedro Sa, conhecido como Sa João, desenvolveu o projeto audiovisual Sem Capa na plataforma Xvideos para apresentar temáticas associadas às relações sexuais entre homens, homossexualidade e corpos em um espaço sem limitações de exibição. Ancorados na proposta metodológica do paradigma indiciário, objetivamos entender como experiências de vida se configuram na afirmação de um lugar que possibilita ensinar espectadores do Sem Capa. Assim, apresentamos referenciais conceituais sobre extimidade, espaço biográfico e vigilância para tensioná-los ao Sem Capa. Como resultados, especialmente, Sa João é central na configuração do dispositivo da sexualidade acionado pelo projeto, lançando-se como referência biográfica para homens gays.
Nino Cais’ Aesthetic: European vs Brazilian identity - deconstructing colonial icons
Authors: Lambert Maria de Fátima
Published: March 2024

Nino Cais is approached as an aesthetic case study: how stereotyped colonial iconography can be subverted through a staged visual irony? In late past, European artists travelled to Brazil fulfilling anthropological missions: to register and make known the "New World", fulfilling political, scientific and/or pragmatic purposes. Cais conceives exotic iconographies that disable colonial political dogmatisms; he assumes a deep identity, opposing uniformity of taste, patterns of behaviour, proposing racial counter-movements and social criticism. He pursues cultural themes, interacting for strong convictions, subverting stereotypes by staging a new iconography – presenting himself as a singular 'projected/introjected' self-portraits; deconstructs decolonial stereotypes, thus ensuring an aesthetic and ideological precision without shackles.

This research aimed to improve the thermo-physical properties of plam oil with NaA zeolite. Palm oil was selected for heating oil due to its high flash point and environmental friendliness compared to synthetic or mineral oil. The effect of NaA zeolite concentration suspended in palm oil was investigated in terms of the specific heat capacity (Cp), viscosity (μ), viscosity index (VI), thermal analysis (TGA) and density (ρ) of palm oil. The NaA zeolite was synthesized by crystallization technique, and X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to determine NaA zeolite crystallinity. The size of NaA zeolite was measured using a particle size analyzer. The average size of the synthesized NaA zeolite was 4767 nm. After grinding process for 180 min, the average size of zeolite decreased to 632 nm. An average 632 nm NaA zeolite particle size was added to palm oil at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 wt%. The results showed that when the NaA zeolite concentration increased, the nanofluid’s viscosity at 40 °C and 100 °C was increased. The addition of 1 wt% NaA zeolite resulted in the nanofluid having a maximum viscosity of 41.31 and 8.47 cSt at 40 °C and 100 °C, respectively. The highest viscosity index was 195 cSt when added with 0.5 wt% NaA zeolite. The density of palm oil slightly increased with increasing NaA zeolite concentrations. The specific heat capacity of palm oil increased when NaA zeolite was added. The results showed that NaA zeolite allowed palm oil to store heat energy better than palm oil, enabling it to release and absorb more heat during heat transfer. Thermogravimetric analysis, palm oil initiated to degrade at 263 °C, while the addition NaA zeolite in palm oil indicated that palm oil initiated to degrade at 350 °C. The shift in the degradation curve demonstrated that the nanofluid could withstand high temperatures. Adding NaA zeolite to palm oil showed that palm oil could endure more heat and has a long service life.

We demonstrate the enhancement of light extraction efficiency of surface-emitting white Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) by incorporating micro/nano-metric structures on the outer surface of the 3-layer substrate (SiO2-Si3N4-SiO2). To enhance light extraction efficiency of the OLEDs, various light scattering structures including plano-convex & plano-concave micro-lens array, flat-top & round-top nano-pillars array, and wavy structures were engraved on the outer surface of the substrate layer. For optimization, we varied the thickness of the internal layers of the OLEDs, and height, width, period, and radius of the micro/nano-scale structures. The performance of the micro/nano-structured OLEDs was simulated and analyzed using Lumerical FDTD and GPVDM simulators. We examined the far field light intensity, transmitted power, angular distribution of light, photon escape probability, photon density, internal & external quantum efficiency, and current-voltage curve of the designed OLEDs. We investigated the results in different locations, especially after the substrate layer: Far Field-1 (0 μm), and Far Field-2 (2.5 μm). Compared to conventional OLEDs, the micro/nano-structured OLEDs showed higher external quantum efficiency. The highest external quantum efficiency of 67.304% (Far Field-1) was detected in the round-top nano-pillars array engraved white OLED having structure period of 1.2 μm. We strongly believe that, the proposed micro/nano-structured white OLEDs are suitable for lighting applications.
