Authors: Son Aloisius Loka , Talan Maria Rosalinda , Mone Ferdinandus
Published: February 2024

The School Literacy Movement (SLM) is a program designed to facilitate the acquisition of student literacy competencies. Schools that implement this government program will undoubtedly have an impact on the literacy abilities of their students, including reading literacy, scientific literacy, digital literacy, numeracy, and so on. This forms the basis for conducting research with the aim of describing the implementation of SLM in Junior High Schools throughout the Kefamenanu Sub-District. The respondents in this study include school principals, SLM administrators, library heads, Mathematics teachers, and Indonesian Language teachers. Data collection techniques employed are interviews and observation. Subsequently, data is analyzed using the flow model by Miles and Huberman, which involves data reduction, data presentation, data verification, and conclusion drawing. Findings from the research indicate that junior high schools in the Kefamenanu Sub-District have implemented SLM from the habituation stage to the development and learning stages; however, the implementation is inconsistent and not yet optimal. Thus, the execution of SLM requires maximum attention from stakeholders, involving teachers, parents, alumni, and community members.

Aspects of restitution in cases of sexual violence against children: a review of criminal law and its impact on victims
Authors: Sinaga Hasudungan
Published: February 2024

This article investigates aspects of restitution in cases of sexual violence against children, focusing on criminal law review and its impact on victims. Sexual violence against children is a severe problem that requires careful legal and judicial attention. One aspect often overlooked is the issue of restitution, which is an effort to compensate for the losses suffered by victims. This research aims to identify issues related to restitution in cases of sexual violence against children and analyze the impact on victims. This study uses a criminal law approach and analyzes various legal provisions relating to restitution in the context of sexual violence against children. We also reviewed previous research on this issue and interviewed legal experts experienced in handling cases of sexual violence against children. The research results show that restitution is often ignored in the judicial process and does not receive the attention it deserves. Victims of sexual violence against children often experience severe physical, emotional, and psychological harm. Therefore, it is essential to consider the role of restitution in helping victims recover and obtain fair compensation for their losses. This study also discusses several challenges in implementing restitution in cases of sexual violence against children and provides recommendations to improve the protection and recovery of victims.

Analyze when owed levies on the acquisition of rights to land and/or buildings (BPHTB) for buying and selling transactions
Authors: Salsabila Fahira , Musyafah Aisyah Ayu
Published: February 2024

The Acquisition Duty of Right on Land and Building, commonly known as BPHTB, is a tax levied upon the acquisition of land and/or building rights. This study scrutinizes the circumstances under which BPHTB becomes payable in sale and purchase transactions regulated by the HKPD Law and investigates their misalignment with the practical realities of the property market. Employing the constructivism paradigm method and a qualitative approach, the research reveals that the criteria stipulated in the HKPD Law for paying BPHTB need to harmonize with the actual dynamics observed in property transactions. Notably, the study underscores that the timing outlined in the HKPD Law for BPHTB payment needs to align with the foundational philosophy of BPHTB as a tax designed to facilitate the transfer of asset ownership. The incongruities identified prompt critical reflections on the current regulatory framework. The study contends that the misalignment between the HKPD Law and the essence of BPHTB necessitates reevaluating the legislation to ensure its responsiveness to the real-time intricacies of property acquisitions. The findings advocate for a more coherent and aligned approach to the stipulations of BPHTB payment, emphasizing the need for adjustments that better encapsulate the intended purpose of this tax, which is the seamless transfer of asset ownership in property transactions.

Authors: Putri Gessy Andrina , Putrijanti Aju
Published: February 2024

The main building construction permit is an ownership right that can be owned by the developer and cannot be owned by individuals. Generally, limited companies only have a Main Building Permit and cannot directly become property rights because they cannot become objects of property rights. If it is to be sold to consumers, the building permit will be split into separate building permits. This research was conducted through direct interviews with sources and supported by a literature study. The research method used is qualitative, with data analysis carried out qualitatively. The legal sources used include primary legal and secondary legal materials. The research results show the distribution of permits to build the main building for the residential area of ​​PT. Rahman Abadi Sejahtera Tasikmalaya Regency by applicable regulations. The main obstacles to distributing permits to construct the main building include a long process and inaccurate land boundaries when measuring, which results in discrepancies between the results of building measurements and the location of residential plots.

The aim of this research is to analyze the application of diversion in restorative justice in the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. The type of research carried out is descriptive research with a normative legal research type related to the application of diversion in restorative justice in the criminal justice system. The results of the research show that the implementation of diversion in restorative justice in the system of implementing diversion for children who are in conflict with the law in the juvenile justice system, is the implementation of a system in restorative justice to provide justice and legal protection to children who are in conflict with the law without ignoring the child's criminal responsibility. Diversion is not a peaceful effort between children in conflict with the law and their victims or families, but rather a form of punishment for children in conflict with the law in an informal way. The recommendation in this research is that law enforcement officers, in carrying out their duties of investigation, prosecution, examination and determining case decisions at court hearings, should prioritize the application of diversion as an alternative to the application of imprisonment. There needs to be massive outreach regarding diversion to the community. The government should provide diversion facilities and infrastructure in order to guarantee protection for children.

Ein Urgroßvater aus Zentralasien für eine Tochter der Republik. Kollektivbiographische Perspektiven auf die Nachkommen des Propheten am Beispiel der Memoiren von Saffet Tanman (1912-2012)
Authors: Henning Barbara
Published: February 2024

Der Beitrag lotet am Beispiel ausgewählter Episoden aus den zweibändigen Memoiren der türkischen Unternehmerin Saffet Tanman (1912-2012) und der Geschichte ihrer osmanischen Çerkesşeyḫīzāde-Familie aus, welche Potenziale ein kollektivbiographischer Zugang für die Untersuchung der Lebenswelten osmanisch-imperialer Eliten und insbesondere der Nachkommen des Propheten Muhammad im Übergang zwischen spätosmanischer und postimperialer Zeit bietet. Bei der Lektüre und Kontextualisierung der Memoiren Saffet Tanmans werden unterschiedliche, untereinander nicht vollständig kompatible kollektive und individuelle soziale Verortungen der Autorin sowie die mit ihnen jeweils verbundenen Statusansprüche und narrativen Vermittlungsstrategien deutlich. Die mit dieser Überlagerung unterschiedlicher sozialer Referenzsysteme einhergehende Ambivalenz erlaubt es Saffet Tanman, eine hervorgehobene und besonders privilegierte Position in der sozialen Hierarchie in unterschiedlichen Kontexten auch in türkisch-republikanischer Zeit zu behaupten und für verschiedene Adressatenkreise verständlich und anschlussfähig zu machen. Die Auswertung der Memoiren trägt zu einem differenzierteren Verständnis der osmanischen und postimperialen sozialen Hierarchiegefüge bei, zeigt exemplarisch Kontinuitäten, aber auch Umdeutungen und Übersetzungsmomente auf und schreibt sich damit in eine Forschungsdiskussion ein, die den Prozesscharakter und die Polyvalenz der postosmanischen Transformation unterstreicht.
Erkenntnisse aus der digitalen Auswertung der „Listen ziviler Dienstränge“ aus dem späten Zarenreich
Authors: Tondera Benedikt
Published: February 2024

Ein hohes Maß an beruflicher Mobilität gilt als ein Merkmal professioneller Eliten – in zeitgenössischen Gesellschaften ebenso wie in den Großreichen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die vorliegende Untersuchung nimmt dieses Phänomen am Beispiel der hohen Beamtenschaft im Russländischen Reich genauer unter die Lupe. Denn aus den überlieferten Autobiographien der ranghöchsten Staatsdiener der zarischen Autokratie geht hervor, dass diese ihre häufigen und weiträumigen Ortswechsel keineswegs nur als Privileg, sondern auch als Last empfanden. Das Klagen über eine als Zwang empfundene Mobilität zeichnet dabei insbesondere jene Beamten aus, die einen Großteil ihrer Laufbahn weit entfernt von Peterburg an den Peripherien des Zarenreichs ableisteten. Vor diesem Hintergrund nutzt der vorliegende Beitrag das Visualisierungstool nodegoat, welches besonders dafür geeignet ist, biographische Ortswechsel im zeitlichen Verlauf darzustellen. Mithilfe von nodegoat lassen sich die kollektiven Bewegungsmuster verschiedener Beamtenkohorten miteinander vergleichen. Einerseits werden hierfür diejenigen Beamten zusammengefasst, die einen Großteil ihrer Karriere in Moskau und Petersburg absolvierten und eine Art „Elite innerhalb der Elite“ darstellten; andererseits jene, die hauptsächlich in den polnischen Gebieten des Zarenreichs aktiv waren. Auf diese Weise soll untersucht werden, welches Mobilitätsregime bei den an der Peripherie eingesetzten Beamten ein Gefühl der Überforderung erzeugte und wie sich räumliche Hierarchien auf Rotationsmuster im russländischen Verwaltungsapparat auswirkten.
Establishment of competition in the market of seed and planting material certification services in Ukraine
Authors: Buniak Nataliia , Shpychak Oleksandr
Published: February 2024

The quality and varietal purity of seeds is one of the crucial factors in determining the consumer value of any end product. Sowing with high-quality seeds ensures a successful harvest in the future. The purpose of this study was to determine the state (formation and development) of competition in the market for certification of plant variety seeds. The main methods used in the study are statistical analysis, comprehensive assessment, deduction, abstraction, forecasting, historical, and tabular methods. This study investigated the state of competition of subjects of appraisal activity by six objective indicators, analysed their material and technical base, and human potential. The market for seed certification services is a market with limited access and should be characterised as an oligopoly. This market is represented by entities of different forms of ownership and management, it is competitive in determining seed quality and virtually monopolistic in determining varietal properties. Fluctuations in the cost of services are insignificant (15%) and are not currently the main criterion for seed producers when choosing an organisation that conducts seed certification. The present paper was the first to determine the total market capacity in terms of volume and value, and to present possible ways of its growth, which is the practical value of this study. The data presented in this study can be used by other researchers in their scientific work related to this market or agriculture. The findings may also be required by government officials or businesses operating in the market.

Published: February 2024

En Colombia, país de corriente legal romano-germánica, los derechos de autor se dividen en patrimoniales y morales. En el caso de los derechos morales, cuando se cometen infracciones que recaen sobre estos, existen algunas dificultades para tasar los perjuicios extrapatrimoniales, pues su naturaleza de innegociables e inalienables dificulta determinar su cuantificación. Este artículo presenta las principales barreras que existen en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano para la tasación de los perjuicios extrapatrimoniales por infracciones a derechos morales de autor y propone algunas recomendaciones sobre cómo debería ser dicha tasación, tomando como referencia la ley y jurisprudencia española.
Breast cancer: epidemiology, molecular classification, diagnostic and therapeutic management
Authors: Kaleta Paulina , Rzepka Zuzanna , Janus Magdalena , Wrześniok Dorota Małgorzata
Published: February 2024

Rak piersi jest jednym z najczęstszych typów nowotworów występujących w populacji kobiet. Szacuje się, że powoduje nawet do 15% zgonów związanych z chorobami onkologicznymi. Mimo rozwoju medycyny, wciąż brakuje skutecznych metod leczenia raka piersi szczególnie w zaawansowanym stadium choroby. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi opracowanie wybranych, aktualnych informacji z zakresu epidemiologii, etiologii i diagnostyki raka piersi. Ponadto, opisano klasyfikację molekularną oraz dostępne strategie terapeutyczne wykorzystywane u pacjentek z nowotworem gruczołu sutkowego.
Najważniejszym krokiem w prewencji raka piersi jest zwiększenie świadomości pacjentek w kwestii samobadania i diagnostyki. Natomiast w przypadku terapii raka piersi wyróżnia się szeroką gamę rozwiązań, jednak wiele zależy od podtypu molekularnego nowotworu oraz stadium zaawansowania choroby. Podstawowym wyborem w przypadku wykrycia zmian wczesnych jest operacja oszczędzająca pierś lub mastektomia. Dla uzupełnienia zasadniczej terapii (tj. zabiegu chirurgicznego i radioterapii) stosuje się terapie adjuwantowe, do których należy chemioterapia, hormonoterapia i terapie celowane molekularnie. Dodatkowo w przypadku raka piersi potrójnie ujemnego stosuje się immunoterapię z wykorzystaniem przeciwciał monoklonalnych, którymi są inhibitory receptora programowanej śmierci 1 lub blokery antygenu 4 związanego z limfocytami T cytotoksycznymi. Zainteresowanie w kontekście wykorzystania w leczeniu pacjentek z rakiem piersi potrójnie negatywnym wzbudzają też inne metody immunoterapii takie jak terapia z wykorzystaniem chimerycznych limfocytów T oraz szczepionek przeciwnowotworowych. Najgorzej rokującą postacią raka piersi jest zmiana dająca przerzuty do tkanek. W takich przypadkach rekomendowane leczenie systemowe obejmuje różne metody (terapię celowaną molekularnie, chemioterapię, hormonoterapię) stosowane samodzielnie lub w skojarzeniu.
Stosunkowo rzadszą sytuacją jest wystąpienie raka piersi w populacji mężczyzn. Niemniej jednak należy obserwować wszystkie niepokojące zmiany, gdyż późne rozpoznanie uniemożliwia efektywną terapię, która jest oparta o metody wykorzystywane w chorobie gruczołu sutkowego u kobiet.
Pomimo wielu strategii terapeutycznych obecnie stosowanych w lecznictwie, odsetek zgonów wśród pacjentek z zaawansowanym rakiem piersi wciąż jest niepokojąco wysoki. Problemem jest brak reakcji na leczenie, działania niepożądane oraz występowanie przerzutów i nawrotów choroby.

Sztuczne sieci neuronowe (ANNs) pojawiły się jako wartościowe narzędzie ułatwiające projektowanie syntezy i kierowanie kolejnymi eksperymentami biologicznymi w systematycznym poszukiwaniu nowych środków przeciwbakteryjnych. W niniejszej pracy zaprojektowano dwie sieci neuronowe typu perceptron wielowarstwowy (MLP), aby przewidzieć aktywność biologiczną związków na podstawie ich właściwości fizykochemicznych i struktury. To podejście zostało przetestowane na szczepie bakterii Enterococcus faecalis, wykorzystując serię 140 pochodnych imidazolu. Zastosowanie czwartorzędowych soli amoniowych w tych badaniach wynika z ich uznanej zdolności do działania jako środki antyseptyczne i dezynfekcyjne. Ponadto uznano je za obiecujące w zwalczaniu różnych mikroorganizmów, w tym bakterii Gram-dodatnich. Zaprojektowany model regresji dokładnie przewidział minimalne stężenie hamujące wzrost E. faecalis. Współczynnik korelacji wartości rzeczywistych z przewidywaniami sieciowymi dla zbioru uczącego wyniósł R=0,91, dla zbioru testowego R=0,91, a dla zbioru walidacyjnego R=0,97. Dodatkowo model klasyfikacyjny skutecznie kategoryzował badane związki jako aktywny lub nieaktywny wobec docelowego mikroorganizmu (dokładność klasyfikacji: 92,86%). Analiza wrażliwości wyróżniła konkretne deskryptory molekularne pochodzące z bloku Molecular Properties, takie jak log P, współczynnik załamania światła, masa cząsteczkowa i liczba atomów, jako kluczowe czynniki wpływające na konstrukcję modelu. Podsumowując, powyższe odkrycia podkreślają praktyczność modeli sztucznych sieci neuronowych w prognozowaniu skuteczności przeciwbakteryjnej czwartorzędowych soli amoniowych wobec E. faecalis. Zastosowanie ANN w analizie danych pozwala na skuteczną optymalizację i redukcję kosztów poprzez usprawnienie procesu syntezy związków w kierunku osiągnięcia pożądanych właściwości. Wykorzystując moc obliczeniową ANN, badacze mogą skutecznie zawęzić pulę potencjalnych związków, przyspieszając w ten sposób odkrywanie obiecujących substancji przeciwdrobnoustrojowych.
[Commentary] On the Existence of Mem (מ)
Authors: Gamper Johan
Published: February 2024

We define a set of things of one singular kind as the set of all things that can causally affect one another. To enable causal interaction between such sets, we define a thing that is of a _non_-singular kind as consisting of more than one singular kind. Such a thing of a non-singular kind supervenes on things of singular kinds and is open to causally intervene between sets of things of different singular kinds without violating the definition of a set of things of one singular kind. With the empty set as a set of things of one singular kind, we define _Mem_ as ‘either the smallest element of intervening sets in the indefinite set of sets of things of a singular kind and the intermediate supervening sets, or, if nothing exists, the empty set’. Thus, Mem exists. _Comment_. The argument focuses on a definition of a supervening set of things of a non-singular kind. Besides that, it really only claims that if we define Mem as some set of existing things or the set without elements, Mem exists. That, though, is tautological. The argument, thus, can only be interesting if anything besides the empty set exists. That only the empty set would exist, however, is refuted by this very claim.

Blueberry bushes prefer well drained, acidic soils with high organic matter content. These soil characteristics are not common in many parts of the world. Thus, blueberries are traditionally grown in soils amended with pine bark and elemental sulfur. The need to create optimum conditions for the roots of blueberry bushes has recently led to blueberry cultivation in containers filled with soilless substrates. The intended audience for this publication is commercial blueberry growers. The purpose of this publication is to complement existing information sources by introducing the materials and practices used for blueberry cultivation on container-based farms.
Phytophthora Root Rot on Southern Highbush Blueberry in Florida
Authors: Flor Norma C. , Phillips Douglas A. , Harmon Philip F.
Published: February 2024

Roots serve the vital function of water and nutrient uptake for plants. Healthy roots provide the foundation for productive blueberry bushes and require the right horticultural inputs and soil environment to thrive. Less-than-ideal conditions can result in unhealthy, rotten roots, sometimes caused by disease. The most common and destructive root rot disease of southern highbush blueberry (SHB) in Florida is Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. Oomycetes, or “water molds,” favor water-saturated environments. The distinction between oomycetes and fungi is important for disease management, because many fungicides work for only one group, not both. Worldwide, P. cinnamomi is a devastating pathogen of approximately 5,000 woody plant host species. For blueberry growers in Florida, PRR is a persistent problem that is currently managed through careful site selection, preparation, and routine Phytophthora-specific fungicide applications.
Effects of Urban Fertilizer Ordinances on Water Quality
Authors: Reisinger Alexander J. , Dukes Michael , Iannone III Basil V. , Unruh J. Bryan , Smidt Samuel J.
Published: February 2024

Originating from environmental or humans sources, too much nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) in water bodies can degrade water quality. In an attempt to reduce the contribution of human sources of N and P to local waters, urban fertilizer ordinances have been adopted in at least 35 counties in Florida and 97 additional Florida municipalities. Despite this work, the efficacy of fertilizer ordinances are debated by end users. The purpose of this publication is to summarize a peer-reviewed, scientific article that investigated impacts of fertilizer on long-term water quality trends in Florida lakes (Smidt et al. 2022) and is intended to be used by UF/IFAS Extension faculty and/or regulatory officials considering adopting or modifying an urban fertilizer ordinance. We encourage green industry professionals and concerned community members to share the effectiveness of fertilizer ordinances.

Published: February 2024

Theoretical concepts and applied possibilities concerning the feasibility of introducing resource-saving technologies in a construction company under the influence of an unstable market environment and limited resources are determined. The article considers the dependence of construction production on many factors of the external and internal environment: natural and climatic, engineering and geological, economic, suppliers, sub-suppliers. This leads to the existence of a variety of projected cost and time indicators for a given construction project. This is due to the impossibility of obtaining accurate information on the conditions of project implementation. In the authors’ opinion, the limited availability of raw materials and the threat of their depletion are the reason for the constant rational use of raw materials and the search for new energy sources. The authors argue that in an unstable market environment and with limited resources, introducing resource-saving technologies can have a significant economic impact. Economic benefits, reduction of negative impact on the environment, improvement of the company’s image and status are the main advantages of introducing such technologies. It is necessary to compare the economic benefits of implementing resource-saving technologies with the costs of their installation and operation in order to determine the economic feasibility constant. Economic benefits include increased productivity, reduced costs due to resource savings and improved product quality. Costs are related to the installation of new technology, replacement of equipment, staff training and other factors. Economic feasibility is an economic assessment that helps determine whether introducing resource-saving technologies is economically viable. It can help construction companies make decisions about investing in new technologies in the context of an unstable market environment and limited resources. The article gives examples of the use of cost-effective resource-saving technologies: the reconstruction of Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) – the use of inventory shuttering in the complex use of softeners and chemical additives to concrete; the rationale for types of individual housing construction using recycled materials and the introduction of energy-saving technologies; the concept of “smart building”; the use of recycled materials such as bottles, paper, plastic and other materials in the construction of buildings. The article concludes that the use of resource-saving technologies can be an effective tool for ensuring the competitiveness and sustainable development of a construction company in an unstable market environment and with limited resources.
