Published: December 2024

Perbuatan melawan hukum, sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 1365 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata, adalah tindakan yang melanggar hukum, menyebabkan kerugian bagi orang lain, dan mengharuskan pelaku bertanggung jawab atas ganti rugi. Penelitian ini menganalisis sengketa tanah di Maluku berdasarkan Putusan Nomor 6/Pdt.G/2024/PN Drh, yang melibatkan klaim kepemilikan antara Maryam (penggugat) dan Darwis Siompo (tergugat) atas tanah warisan seluas 2.840 meter persegi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan hukum tertulis untuk mengkaji dasar pertimbangan hakim, penerapan asas plurium litis consortium, dan konsep perbuatan melawan hukum. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tindakan tergugat, berupa penyerobotan tanah dan penggunaan dokumen tidak sah, dikategorikan sebagai perbuatan melawan hukum karena melanggar hak penggugat dan menyebabkan kerugian material. Hakim juga mengabulkan eksepsi kekurangan pihak, tetapi keputusan tersebut menimbulkan ketidaksesuaian dengan kompetensi absolut Pengadilan Negeri. Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya konsistensi pertimbangan hukum untuk memastikan perlindungan hak atas tanah dan mendorong penyelesaian sengketa agraria yang lebih jelas dan adil di Indonesia.

Community Based Protection UNHCR In Realizing Community Security, Rohingya Refugees in Malaysia 2018-2021
Authors: MUNTU Efraim William , SEBA Roberto Octovianus Cornelis , WIBISONO Indra Wisnu
Published: December 2024

The Rohingya refugees face significant challenges in seeking protection and security, both in their country of origin and in the countries where they seek refuge. In this context, the Community-Based Protection approach, promoted by UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) in Malaysia between 2018 and 2021, plays a crucial role in creating a protection system based on community involvement in the design and implementation of policies. This approach emphasizes the importance of community security, which relies on state structures and involving refugee communities in safeguarding their safety. From the perspective of Institutional Liberalism, the international system, driven by multilateral institutions like UNHCR, can play a key role in ensuring effective protection for refugees by facilitating cooperation between countries and other international actors. This study aims to analyze how the community-based and community security approach to the safety of Rohingya refugees can enhance their sense of security and trust within the larger system. It also explores the relationship between the theory of Institutional Liberalism and the policies implemented by UNHCR to protect this vulnerable group.
Exploring Teaching Perspectives Embraced by Teachers in Teaching Agricultural Sciences in Secondary Schools in South Africa
Authors: Nduku Nonhlanhla Fortunate
Published: December 2024

The South African Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) document stipulates that in teaching Agricultural Sciences (AGRIS), teachers should cement their pedagogical practices in three aspects: knowledge, skill, and values/attitudes. The statement contends for the interwoven prescriptive (knowledge), communal (skills), and habitual (values/attitudes) perspectives, which are apropos of balancing three aspects of teaching AGRIS. The study, therefore, explored teachers’ perspectives when teaching AGRIS in secondary schools. The study was grounded in the Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), shaped by Vygotsky. From the critical paradigm, the study employed reflective activities, interviews, observations, and focus groups as data generation methods through action research. Six participants were purposefully selected to bring an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. The findings exhibited that teachers embrace the prescriptive perspective when teaching AGRIS in secondary schools. On the one hand, teachers impart content knowledge during AGRIS teaching. On the other hand, the CAPS document is silent about how teachers should instill skills and values/attitudes in learners. It is recommended that the AGRIS curriculum developers amend the enactment of skills and values/attitudes driven by communal and habitual perspectives. Nonetheless, the researcher calls for aligning prescriptive, communal, and habitual perspectives for teachers to impart knowledge, skill, and values/attitudes successfully. This alignment may balance the quality of the AGRIS South African curriculum.

Constraining the Protoliths of the Apollo Granulite Suite
Authors: Pernet-Fisher J. F. , Joy K. H. , Nottingham M. , Hartley M. E. , Tartèse R.
Published: December 2024

The Apollo granulite suite represents the metamorphosed products of impact-contaminated polymict and monomict lunar breccias. We combine bulk and mineral major and trace element systematics with noble gas isotopes to constrain the highland lithologies that contributed to the feldspathic granulite suite protoliths. Ferroan anorthosites dominate the protolith of the ferroan granulite subtypes, whereas a KREEP-poor Mg-rich lithology dominates the protolith of the magnesian granulite. This magnesian lithology, while compositionally similar to Apollo Mg-suite rocks in major elements, is comparably poor in incompatible trace elements. Similar magnesian lithologies have been identified from granulites sampled by lunar meteorites and at the Chang’e 5 landing site. This adds to the body of evidence that a KREEP-poor Mg-suite lithology represents an important rock type within the lunar crust that was not sampled in a pristine form by the Apollo missions. Granulites have a range of noble gas systematics with contributions from solar wind and cosmogenic sources. Samples with a strong solar contribution indicate that they were formed from regolith-rich protoliths with components that had spent significant time at the lunar surface. Solar-wind-poor samples either indicate a protolith with contribution from regolith with limited exposure to the lunar surface or were sourced at depth where such regolith components are absent. There is no correlation between ferroan/magnesian subtypes and near-surface exposure duration. This indicates that granulites were formed from a range of protoliths and highlights the importance of the granulites for expanding the range of lunar highland lithologies, helping to place important constraints for lunar differentiation and crust building.
Institutions as a determinant of foreign direct investment inflows into the Southern African Development Community
Authors: Nubong Gabila
Published: December 2024

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Southern Africa has been one of the drivers of infrastructure development and economic growth, especially in mining, agriculture, energy, information, and communications technology (ICT). Some of the SADC countries have undertaken serious economic and institutional reforms to encourage the inflow of FDI, particularly to low-income countries of the region, but these efforts have not so far led to the expected increases in investment: the overall amount of FDI remains low, it is concentrated in very few countries and mostly goes to the extraction of natural resources.

Institutions and infrastructure development typically have a positive effect on FDI inflows as they improve investment climate. To examine their role in boosting the FDI flows to the SADC countries, the paper uses panel data econometric analysis with OLS and PCSE. Its results show that the quality of governance, together with the level of economic development, market size, and openness to international trade are the main factors that determine the amounts of FDI flowing into the SADC countries. For some areas, however, the primary need is to combat the rampant corruption and reduce political instability.

Authors: Ganeeva Lyubov , Nikiforova Alexandra
Published: December 2024

The paper explores the potential for cooperation between the BRICS+ countries in digitization of international sports; it seeks to identify the most promising ways of joint action to advance the use of digital tools for the development of the Olympic movement. The research objective is to determine forms of digital diplomacy for the BRICS+ members that may assist Russia in promoting its Olympic activities. Based on the data from the United Nations’ “e-Government Knowledge” (United Nations, 2022), the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia, Federal Statistics Service and Higher School of Economics (Anisimov et al, 2023) have established four broad categories of indicators to measure the development of digital economy and society. These indicators are expected to become a valuable tool of advancing the Russian Olympic movement. The authors have identified the leading countries in digital development within the BRICS+ association and pointed out the most significant benefits of cooperation within this alliance that should contribute to the development of Olympic education, marketing and information support.
The Bart-based Model for Scientific Articles Summarization
Authors: Ülker Mehtap , Özer A. Bedri
Published: December 2024

With the development of deep learning techniques, many models have been proposed for abstractive text summarization. However, the problem of summarizing source documents while preserving their integrity persists due to token restrictions and the inability to adequately extract semantic word relations between different sentences. To overcome this problem, a fine-tuning BART-based model was proposed, which generates a scientific summary by selecting important words contained in the text in the input document. The input text consists of terminology and keywords from the source document. The proposed model is based on the working principle of graph-based methods. Thus, the proposed model can summarize the source document with as few words as possible that are relevant to the content. The proposed model was compared with baseline models and the results of human evaluation. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms the baseline methods with a 37.60 ROUGE-L score.
Electrospun polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers in membrane distillation applications
Authors: Defor Charles , Chou Shih-Feng
Published: December 2024

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fully fluorinated linear polymer with a (CF2-CF2)n backbone. High molecular weight PTFEs are chemically inert while possessing excellent hydrophobic surface properties attributed to their low surface energy. These characteristics make PTFE an excellent candidate for membrane distillation application among all other hydrophobic polymers. In this review, the electrospinning processes of PTFE fibers are discussed in detail with a focus on various electrospinning effects on the resulting fiber morphologies and structures. Due to the high chemical resistance and low solvent solubility, PTFE is typically electrospin with a polymer carrier, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and/or polyethylene oxide (PEO), using emulsion electrospinning followed by a sintering process. The amount of PTFE in emulsion, types of polymer carriers, electrospinning parameters, and sintering conditions have interconnected effects on the resulting morphological structures of PFTE fibers (e.g., beading or continuous fibers). In addition, electrospun PTFE fibers are further functionalized using methods of co-electrospinning with other hydrophobic polymers as well as incorporations of metallic (ZnO) and inorganic particles (POSS) to improve their performance in membrane distillation. Water contact angles, permeation fluxes, salt rejection rates, and hours of operations are reported for various functionalized electrospun PTFE fibrous membranes to demonstrate their feasibility in membrane distillation applications. In general, this article provides a scientific understanding of electrospun PTFE fibers and their engineering application in membrane distillation.
The role of the burrow structure in the characterisation of trap door spiders Nemesia Audouin, 1826 (Araneae, Mygalomorphae)
Authors: Pertegal Cristian , Rodriguez-Castilla Ginés
Published: December 2024

Three new species of the trap-door spider genus Nemesia Audouin, 1826 are described from southern Portugal, namely Nemesia bonali sp. nov. from Portimão and Alvor, Nemesia molerobaltanasi sp. nov. from Castelão (Loulé), and Nemesia rebellis sp. nov. from Odeleite. These species have specific morphological and/or behavioural similarities with N. athiasi Franganillo, 1920, N. fagei Frade & Bacelar, 1931, and N. ungoliant Decae, Cardoso & Selden, 2007, but are easily distinguishable if attention is paid to all details including the size, the prosoma shape and the burrow structure. The available literature on N. fagei is discussed and the need to consider the burrow as a possible character for diagnosis when describing and identifying species of the genus Nemesia is illustrated. Finally, a few guidelines are proposed to aid in the study of these spiders, both at the species level and for the general understanding of spiders of this genus.
Remettre en acte des extraits d’ethnographie
Authors: Mazzella di Bosco Marie
Published: December 2024

Reprendre ses données ethnographiques avec l’ambition de (re)créer non pas une scène qui serait jouée comme au théâtre, mais les conditions propices à une expérience proche de celle qui a été ethnographiée est riche d’enseignement sur les données elles-mêmes, mais aussi sur leurs modalités de production et le positionnement du chercheur. Entre autres apports, le processus de remise en acte — dans le sillage des réflexions sur le reenactement — permet de faire émerger de façon saillante un ensemble de savoirs et savoir-faire incorporés par l’ethnographe, qui excèdent les carnets de terrain et autres matériaux collectés. L’article fait le récit d’une expérimentation consistant à mettre en pratique, avec des collègues et étudiants volontaires, des parties de matériaux issus d’un terrain sur les « danses libres en conscience », afin de revenir sur leur description et leur analyse avec d’autant plus d’acuité, puis propose un retour réflexif sur les bénéfices heuristiques, dialectiques et démonstratifs d’une telle remise en acte.

Between paternalism and autonomy
Authors: Wegscheider Angela , Forstner Matthias
Published: December 2024

This paper examines Austria’s disability policy regarding sheltered work as outlined in regional disability laws. The analysis is supported by three theoretical models of social service relationships – paternalist, libertarian, and social relational – focusing on the interactions in the triangle of service providers, state actors, and the individual receiving services. Through this lens, an in-depth content analysis of laws, regulations, and reports was carried out. The paper highlights that paternalist and dis/ableist perspectives on disabled persons predominate in federal state disability laws, with only limited emphasis on support services that foster education and skills development for deinstitutionalised work or supported employment measures in the open labour market. Most support services involve lifelong pocket-money jobs without employment rights, confined to segregated substitute labour markets. The results show that while legislation often contains progressive rhetoric promising greater self-determination and inclusion, these promises are largely rhetorical, masking austerity policies and paternalism that fail to deliver the person-centred support necessary to secure gainful employment in the open labour market. As a result, the legal system perpetuates unnecessary, i.e. pathogenic vulnerability for disabled persons.
Science-fiction et traduction en Chine continentale : d’outils pour le progrès à outils de soft power

Published: December 2024

Cet article se propose de mettre en lumière, en s’appuyant tout d’abord sur la théorie du polysystème puis sur la notion de patronage de Lefevere, le rôle qu’a joué la traduction, premièrement dans la popularisation du genre en Chine continentale, son évolution et sa définition, afin d’explorer comment un genre « importé » a été continuellement remanié et mis en avant à chaque époque ; et dans un second temps, en tant qu’outil permettant de « réexporter » le genre, désormais plutôt bien assimilé, de la Chine populaire vers l’étranger, avec la mise en avant par le gouvernement chinois de la science-fiction comme outil de soft power voué à conter les « lendemains radieux » du pays.
Organisation du travail : le retour. Quelles interprétations ? Introduction
Authors: Mias Arnaud , Ughetto Pascal
Published: December 2024

La sociologie du travail a connu dans les années 1970 et 1980 d’intenses débats à propos de l’organisation du travail et des modèles alternatifs qu’elle était susceptible de porter. L’intérêt pour ce thème de réflexion était partagé avec les acteurs d’entreprises. Il s’agissait de s’interroger sur la portée, les limites et les possibilités de dépassement du taylorisme. Dans les années 2010, autour d’une curiosité pour l’entreprise libérée, le mode agile, le design thinking ou les new ways of working, les entreprises ont été le lieu d’un retour en force de la réflexion sur les modèles à suivre en matière d’organisation du travail. Elles ont cultivé le débat sur les modes de fonctionnement et les modèles managériaux. La sociologie s’est cependant tenue à distance de cette réflexion et de ces débats. Ce dossier thématique, qui réunit quatre articles, permet de donner un aperçu des contributions possibles à un éclairage sociologique du regain d’intérêt des entreprises pour la question de l’organisation du travail et de ses modèles. L’introduction qui les précède retrace les grandes phases, des années 1970 à la période actuelle, de l’intérêt que la discipline porte aux modèles organisationnels, expose les orientations des réflexions qui ont surgi en entreprise durant la décennie 2010 et présente les articles et leur apport au dossier.

Enhancing NGO Effectiveness Through Ethical Leadership and Accountability Towards Beneficiaries
Authors: Noor Nurul Hidayana Mohd
Published: December 2024

This study aims to unravel the accountability mechanisms that contribute to the effectiveness of NGOs. Although many past studies have shown a significant relationship between ethical leadership style and behavior, an explanation still needs to be provided. Therefore, this study was conducted to test the direct relationship between accountability to beneficiaries and NGO effectiveness and indirect relationships through mediating variables of ethical leadership. The research was conducted using an online questionnaire on 276 NGO staff, including volunteers and social workers in Malaysia. Hypothesis testing was done using Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS software. The study shows the significant role of accountability to beneficiaries in predicting NGO effectiveness, as well as the role of ethical leadership as a mediation mechanism. This study suggests that NGOs embrace the characteristics of ethical leadership in the employee training and development program.
Cultivating Disruptive Innovators
Authors: Whitacre Michelle P. , Leavitt Lynda
Published: December 2024

This chapter explores the critical intersection of disruptive innovation and educational leadership, focusing on how Doctor of Education (EdD) programs can cultivate innovative thinking in school leaders. Drawing from Clayton Christensen's disruptive innovation theory, the chapter examines how educational leaders must move beyond traditional paradigms to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving educational landscape. It discusses the systemic challenges that impede innovation in schools and offers six evidence-based strategies for developing educational leaders capable of driving disruptive change: experiential learning, entrepreneurial skills, interdisciplinary learning, communities of practice, technology integration, and fostering emotional resilience. Anchored in their experiences redesigning an EdD program centered on design thinking and innovation, the authors highlight the successes and challenges of equipping leaders with the creative, visionary, and risk-taking skills necessary to transform education.

Introduction: Plastics have woven themselves intricately into the fabric of human existence, manifesting in myriad forms across daily life. From the convenience of single-use items like bags and bottles to the structural integrity of complex machinery components, plastics have no doubt revolutionized industries and consumer habits, rendering them indispensable in multiple sectors, especially routine household items, kid’s toys, and healthcare, where they enable sterile packaging and life-saving medical devices. Their omnipresence has also generated environmental challenges; hence, reuse-recycling is encouraged. Plastic recycling plants have grown like mushrooms in the industrial belts of Delhi, the capital city of India, too. An accidental explosion in one such plant was life-threatening to three people and injured six. Cases of such demystifying explosions are rare, and therefore, forensic investigation into the incident is of utmost importance to understand the origin and cause of the explosion.Case History: This case report details an atypical incident involving a sudden blast within a manufacturing facility in a plastic recycling unit. Forensic scene of crime examination, conducted meticulously and comprehensively, revealed no indications of external ignition sources or any incendiary materials. Chemical analysis of exhibits performed at a forensic laboratory confirmed the presence of butane, consistent with findings from cigarette lighter’s fuel, using HS-GC-MS instrumentation.Conclusion: The clear resolution of this enigmatic explosion was achieved by forensic investigators through a thorough scene of crime investigation, careful co-relation of all pertinent evidence, and applying the basic scientific principles of physics and chemistry. Instances of malpractice, lack of awareness, and negligence in recycling procedures have posed significant risks to individuals present in the vicinity of factory premises.

Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the age of young adults within the age group of 18-25 years using radiological examination of the iliac crest of the iliac bone. It also aimed to determine the age range with the mean within this study group. The sample size consisted of 200 participants, with equal representation of males and females.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using radiological examination of the iliac crests of the iliac bones. The study participants were aged between 18 and 25 years, with no history of significant trauma or skeletal abnormalities.Results: The mean age of the study population was calculated. The minimum and maximum ages were determined as well. Data were analyzed separately for males and females to assess any gender-specific variations. The mean age of fusion of the iliac crest was calculated to be 22.25 ± 1.36 years, with a median age of 22.41 years for males whereas for females, the mean age was 21.96 ± 1.5 years, with a median age of 22.04 years. The fusion started at the earliest 19-<20 years in males and 18-<19 years in females.Conclusion: Radiological examination of the iliac bone is a reliable method for estimating the age of young adults within the age group of 18-25 years. This study provides valuable information on the mean age, minimum age, and maximum age within this age group, which can contribute to forensic investigations, medical assessments, and population studies. Further research should focus on expanding the age range and including larger sample sizes to enhance the accuracy and generalizability of age estimation techniques.

The application of biomarkers in TBI management remains underutilised with paucity of data in Asian populations. This study investigated the correlation between UCH-L1 and GFAP with TBI severity and patient outcomes in a Malaysian tertiary centre. The study was conducted at Universiti Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from February 1, 2017, to November 30, 2019. GFAP and UCH-L1 were measured in 61 TBI cases and 19 controls. Correlations between biomarkers and TBI severity, as well as patient outcomes, were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. GFAP/UCHL1 showed significant correlation with Marshall CT classification (r=0.437, p<0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale on arrival (r=-0.444, p<0.001), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHEII) score (r=0.501, p<0.001). GFAP demonstrated fair-to-good accuracy in predicting TBI severity and outcomes. A consistent cut-off value of 0.01845 ng/mL for GFAP and 0.01960 for GFAP/UCHL1 predicted TBI severity, with high sensitivity (72.2-100%) and acceptable specificity (38.8-80.0%). GFAP and GFAP/UCHL1 showed promising utility in predicting TBI severity and patient outcomes in the Asian population. The findings underscore the potential clinical significance of biomarker assessment in TBI management, though further validation in larger cohorts is warranted.

Published: December 2024

Background: Parents of Deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children are faced with a plethora of overwhelming decisions concerning their children, particularly during the early stages of development. Among these decisions are those concerning assistive devices and the modes of communication for their child.Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of parents of DHH children towards the various modes of communication for their children within the South African context.Method: The study adopted a Q-methodology research design. Participants rated statements according to what they least and most agree with and then answered follow-up questions concerning the statements. Participants were also invited to participate in a live, one-on-one, semi-structured interview with the researcher. Data were analysed through both qualitative and quantitative statistics. Thematic analysis was adopted to analyse the qualitative data, while factor analysis through Ken-Q analysis was used for quantitative data.Results: Although 66% of participants thought that sign language allows DHH children to communicate more freely, 88% agreed that a DHH child should always learn to speak if they can. In terms of decision-making, 88% reported the issue of stigma or marginalisation and 88% cited the lack of Deaf schools as barriers in their decision-making.Conclusion: The study’s findings provide valuable insights into the complex interplay of factors influencing communication mode decisions for DHH children in South Africa.Contribution: These insights are crucial for developing inclusive and effective communication strategies that consider individual needs, societal norms and access to support services.
