Word Attention for Sequence to Sequence Text Understanding
Authors: Wu Lijun , Tian Fei , Zhao Li , Lai Jianhuang , Liu Tie-Yan
Published: November 2022

Attention mechanism has been a key component in Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) based sequence to sequence learning framework, which has been adopted in many text understanding tasks, such as neural machine translation and abstractive summarization. In these tasks, the attention mechanism models how important each part of the source sentence is to generate a target side word. To compute such importance scores, the attention mechanism summarizes the source side information in the encoder RNN hidden states (i.e., h_t), and then builds a context vector for a target side word upon a subsequence representation of the source sentence, since h_t actually summarizes the information of the subsequence containing the first t-th words in the source sentence. We in this paper, show that an additional attention mechanism called word attention, that builds itself upon word level representations, significantly enhances the performance of sequence to sequence learning. Our word attention can enrich the source side contextual representation by directly promoting the clean word level information in each step. Furthermore, we propose to use contextual gates to dynamically combine the subsequence level and word level contextual information. Experimental results on abstractive summarization and neural machine translation show that word attention significantly improve over strong baselines.
An Interpretable Generative Adversarial Approach to Classification of Latent Entity Relations in Unstructured Sentences
Authors: Hsu Shiou Tian , Moon Changsung , Jones Paul , Samatova Nagiza
Published: November 2022

We propose a generative adversarial neural network model for relation classification that attempts to emulate the way in which human analysts might process sentences. Our approach provides two unique benefits over existing capabilities: (1) we make predictions by finding and exploiting supportive rationales to improve interpretability (i.e. words or phrases extracted from a sentence that a person can reason upon), and (2) we allow predictions to be easily corrected by adjusting the rationales.Our model consists of three stages: Generator, Selector, and Encoder. The Generator identifies candidate text fragments; the Selector decides which fragments can be used as rationales depending on the goal; and finally, the Encoder performs relation reasoning on the rationales. While the Encoder is trained in a supervised manner to classify relations, the Generator and Selector are designed as unsupervised models to identify rationales without prior knowledge, although they can be semi-supervised through human annotations. We evaluate our model on data from SemEval 2010 that provides 19 relation-classes. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art models, and that our model is capable of extracting good rationales on its own as well as benefiting from labeled rationales if provided.
Placing Objects in Gesture Space: Toward Incremental Interpretation of Multimodal Spatial Descriptions
Authors: Han Ting , Kennington Casey , Schlangen David
Published: November 2022

When describing routes not in the current environment, a common strategy is to anchor the description in configurations of salient landmarks, complementing the verbal descriptions by "placing" the non-visible landmarks in the gesture space.  Understanding such multimodal descriptions and later locating the landmarks from real world is a challenging task for the hearer, who must interpret speech and gestures in parallel, fuse information from both modalities, build a mental representation of the description, and ground the knowledge to real world landmarks.  In this paper, we model the hearer's task, using a multimodal spatial description corpus we collected.  To reduce the variability of verbal descriptions, we simplified the setup to use simple objects as landmarks.  We describe a real-time system to  evaluate the separate and joint contribution of the modalities. We show that gestures not only help to improve the overall system performance, even if to a large extent they encode redundant information, but also result in earlier final correct interpretations. Being able to build and apply representations incrementally will be of use in more dialogical settings, we argue, where it can enable immediate clarification in cases of mismatch.
Persuasive Influence Detection: The Role of Argument Sequencing
Authors: Hidey Christopher , McKeown Kathleen
Published: November 2022

Automatic detection of persuasion in online discussion is key to understanding how social media is used. Predicting persuasiveness is difficult, however, due to the need to model world knowledge, dialogue, and sequential reasoning. We focus on modeling the sequence of arguments in social media posts using neural models with embeddings for words, discourse relations, and semantic frames. We demonstrate significant improvement over prior work in detecting successful arguments. We also present an error analysis assessing novice human performance at predicting persuasiveness.

Assessment of Small-Scale Farmers' Perceptions Towards the Sustainability of Soybean Production in Nkangala District Municipality of the Mpumalanga Province
Authors: Mthombeni V , Khwidzhili R , Zwane E , Mmbengwa V
Published: November 2022

To achieve the FAQ's goals of increasing global agricultural productivity and soybean production by 2050, understanding small-scaler farmers' perceptions of the sustainability of soybean production is crucial. This study involved a sample size of 204 participants, randomly selected from a population of 433. Correlation and regression analyses assessed small-scale farmers' perceptions of factors affecting soybean production sustainability in Nkangala District Municipality in Mpumalanga Province. This was achieved by examining the influence of participants' perceived factors and attitudes towards soybean production's sustainability. The inferential findings revealed that farming, economic, extension and education, social, and policymaking factors affected participants' perceived attitudes towards the sustainability of soybean production in the study area. This suggests that any unit increase in these factors is associated with an increased probability of the participants' perceived attitudes towards the sustainability of soybean production. Future studies may focus on socioeconomic factors affecting participant's perceived attitudes towards the sustainability of soybean production. The paper concludes by recommending that these factors should be considered by the government and policymakers when implementing programs to improve soybean sustainability through the inclusion of small-scale farmers.
Public health community engagement with Asian populations in British Columbia during COVID-19: towards a culture-centered approach
Authors: Pringle Wendy , Sachal Sukhmeet Singh , Dhutt Gurvir Singh , Kestler Mary , Dubé Ève , Bettinger Julie A.
Published: November 2022

Objectives

COVID-19 has posed significant challenges to those who endeavour to provide equitable public health information and services. We examine how community leaders, advocates, and public health communication specialists have approached community engagement among Asian immigrant and diaspora communities in British Columbia throughout the pandemic.

Methods

Qualitative interviews with 27 participants working with Asian communities in a healthcare, community service, or public health setting, inductively coded and analyzed following the culture-centred approach to health communication, which focuses on intersections of structure, culture, and agency.

Results

Participants detailed outreach efforts aimed at those who might not be reached by conventional public health communication strategies. Pre-existing structural barriers such as poverty, racial disparities, and inequitable employment conditions were cited as complicating Asian diaspora communities’ experience of the pandemic. Such disparities exacerbated the challenges of language barriers, information overload, and rapidly shifting recommendations. Participants suggested building capacity within existing community service and public health outreach infrastructures, which were understood to be too lean to meet community needs, particularly in a pandemic setting.

Conclusion

A greater emphasis on collaboration is key to the provision of health services and information for these demographic groups. Setting priorities according to community need, in direct collaboration with community representatives, and further integrating pre-existing bonds of trust within communities into public health communication and engagement strategies would facilitate the provision of more equitable health information and services. This mode of engagement forgoes the conventional focus on individual behaviour change, and focuses instead on fostering community connections. Such an approach harmonizes with community support work, strengthening the capacity of community members to secure health during public health emergencies.
Public health communication in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Lowe Maya , Harmon Shawn H. E. , Kholina Ksenia , Parker Rachel , Graham Janice E.
Published: November 2022

Objectives

Communication is central to the implementation and effectiveness of public health measures. Informed by theories of good governance, COVID-19 pandemic public health messaging in 3 Canadian provinces is assessed for its potential to encourage or undermine public trust and adherence.

Methods

This study employed a mixed-methods constant comparative approach to triangulate epidemiological COVID-19 data and qualitative data from news releases, press briefings, and key informant interviews. Communications were analyzed from January 2020 to October 2021 in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Alberta. Interview data came from 34 semi-structured key informant interviews with public health actors across Canada. Team-based coding and thematic analysis were conducted to analyze communications and interview transcripts.

Results

Four main themes emerged as integral to good communication: transparency, promptness, clarity, and engagement of diverse communities. Our data indicate that a lack of transparency surrounding evidence and public health decision-making, delays in public health communications, unclear and inconsistent terminology and activities within and across jurisdictions, and communications that did not consider or engage diverse communities’ perspectives may have decreased the effectiveness of public health communications and adherence to public health measures throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion

This study suggests that increased federal guidance with wider jurisdictional collaboration backed by transparent evidence could improve the effectiveness of communication practices by instilling public trust and adherence with public health measures. Effective communication should be transparent, supported by reliable evidence, prompt, clear, consistent, and sensitive to diverse values. Improved communication training, established engagement infrastructure, and increased collaborations and diversity of decision-makers and communicators are recommended.
Contextualization to Enhance Students’ Writing Ability

Published: November 2022

The current study used a qualitative methodology to elicit data from ten EFL teachers of Irbid private schools in order to ascertain the responses to the research questions. The researcher gathered data from participants prior to the study using a convenience sample drawn from the public. Convenience sampling is used in research to acquire a decent approximation of the truth, and it gives valuable information Interviews and observations were used to acquire data for this investigation. Additionally, the present research made use of a technology for non-participant observation. When an observer visits a place and takes notes without being engaged in the activities of the participants, this is referred to as a non-participant observation. To ensure the study's authenticity and trustworthiness, a member check was conducted by presenting data from classroom observations and interviews. Participants had access to their audiotaped interviews as well as their written transcripts, classroom observation instructions, and field notes. As a result, this study's data was acquired through observations and interviews. Qualitative data analysis entails ascribing meaning to texts and visuals in order to address research concerns. The majority of the participating teachers were convinced that teaching students how to write in context and from the context of actual life was important. They supported the use of teaching in context in promoting students’ EFL writing creativity.
The Relationship Between Chinese EFL Learners’ L2 Motivational Self System and Willingness to Communicate
Authors: Zhou Chengchen
Published: November 2022

This study explores the relationships between the L2 motivational self system (L2MSS)—Ideal self, Ought-to self, and Learning experience—and the willingness to communicate (WTC) based on the results of a questionnaire survey of 120 freshmen from English majors (English, Business English, Translation). The results demonstrate that: (1) in the L2MSS, the ideal self has the greatest mean of 3.83, and the WTC has a mean of 3.74. Overall, each value is in the upper-middle range. (2) The ideal self, the ought-to self, and the learning experience are positively correlated with the WTC in a significant way, among which the correlation coefficient of the learning experience is the largest one, being 0.593. (3) In the L2MSS, the ideal self and the learning experience can significantly predict the learners’ WTC. The study suggests that it may be more effective in motivating students’ WTC if teachers can guide students to establish a positive ideal self and build a good teacher-student relationship in the teaching process.

Experiments are often considered as the way to find rational heating modes at manufacturing enterprises. Unlike experimental methods, modern calculation methods use mathematical modeling of physical and chemical processes in heating furnaces. It allows to reduce the time of the research and it is less resource intensive. A mathematical model is proposed to find rational operation modes of thermal furnaces according to the specified criterion. The model considers the porosity of the heated material and the flow of the furnace atmosphere through it. Finite difference method and the zonal method to calculate complex heat transfer is used for numerical implementation of the model. A mathematical model of the thermal operation of a thermal furnace to heat bulk cages has been developed, considering the filtration of combustion products. The developed mathematical model is designed to find new modes of thermal operation of the heating furnace, which provide a specified quality of the final product with a minimum fuel consumption or maximum furnace productivity according to the given fuel consumption rate.
Seismic activity of the San Francisco Bay region
Authors: Bakun William H.
Published: November 2022

Moment magnitude M with objective confidence-level uncertainties are estimated for felt San Francisco Bay region earthquakes using Bakun and Went-worth's (1997) analysis strategy for seismic intensity observations. The frequency-magnitude distribution is well described for M ≧ 5.5 events since 1850 by a Gutenberg-Richter relation with a b-value of 0.90. The seismic moment rate ΣM0/yr since 1836 is 2.68 × 1018 N-m/yr (95% confidence range = 1.29 × 1018 N-m/yr to 4.07 × 1018 N-m/yr); the seismic moment rate since 1850 is nearly the same. ΣM0/yr in the 56 years before 1906 is about 10 times that in the 70 years after 1906. In contrast, ΣM0/yr since 1977 is about equal that in the 56 years before 1906. 80% (1σ = 14%) of the plate-motion moment accumulation rate is available for release in earthquakes. The historical ΣM0/yr and the portion of the plate-motion moment accumulation rate available for release in earthquakes are used in a seismic cycle model to estimate the rate of seismic activity in the twenty-first century. High and low rates of future seismic activity are both permissible given the range of possible seismic-cycle recurrence times T and the uncertainties in the historical ΣM0 and in the percentage of plate motion available for release in earthquakes. If the historical seismic moment rate is not greater than the estimated 2.68 × 1018 N-m/yr and the percentage of the plate-motion moment accumulation available for release in earthquakes is not less than the estimated 80%, then for all T, the rate of seismic moment release from now until the next 1906-sized shock will be comparable to the rate from 1836 to 1905 when M 6 1/2 shocks occurred every 15 to 20 years.
Inversion of travel-time data for earthquake locations and three-dimensional velocity structure in the Eureka Valley area, eastern California
Authors: Asad A. M. , Pullammanappallil S. K. , Anooshehpoor A. , Louie J. N.
Published: November 2022

We develop an earthquake travel-time inversion methodology suitable for determining three-dimensional velocity structure and fault-plane orientation for an area with limited a priori information. Using a cascaded combination of a nonlinear simulated annealing optimization and linearized inversion, we investigate local three-dimensional compressional velocity structure and estimate the orientation of a fault plane in the Eureka Valley area of eastern California. We inverted travel times recorded at 20 permanent and 8 portable stations from an M 6.1 mainshock and a few hundred aftershocks for P-wave velocity and hypocentral coordinates. Using the velocity model obtained by the nonlinear optimization as an initial model for linearized inversion, we relocated the hypocenters and further fine-tuned the model. The relocated hypocenters define a north-northwest-trending fault dipping steeply westward. The final crustal velocity model features a low-velocity trend along the strike of the Eureka Valley and a high-velocity block southwest of the valley. Compared with a fully linearized inversion, our scheme demonstrates independence of the final results on the initial model and the potential of avoiding local minima.
Disrupting interruptions

Published: November 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education systems globally which resulted in swift shifts to online and remote education. In Bolivia, it was recognized that large populations of the country would not be able to effectively implement virtual education. Rather than moving forward with only a portion of the country having access to virtual education during the pandemic, the government issued a 'pass by decree' measure where, despite having only completed two months of the school year, all K-12 students automatically passed onto the next grade level. This of course meant one group of students had their final year of high school suddenly cut short, and many of them entered university the following year in an unfamiliar remote education environment. Bolivia, like many developing countries, invests heavily to provide free or subsidized higher education to their citizens. With such a large investment, it is necessary to ensure that their students are persisting to graduation despite the effects of such interruptions. The events of the pandemic were unique in their longevity, but interruptions to education are relatively common in Latin America due to civic strikes. Regardless of the reason, these interruptions result in large groups of students suddenly going days or weeks without school. After a global shift to virtual education during the pandemic, governments will utilize these measures during future interruptions. Emergency interrupted education deserves attention at all grade levels. This study, however, examines how students transition to higher education after periods of interrupted education while in a remote learning environment. This study uses student integration theory to ground the unique transition of first year students to a Bolivian public university. The study examines how students experienced and navigated the academic and social transition to a remote campus after a period of interrupted education. Related to interruptions, classroom observations and interviews with first year students showed that students experienced stressors related to inconsistent pacing, difficulty managing self-regulated learning, and development of career maturity. Related to the transition to remote education, the study showed that students do not prioritize peer relationships in a remote environment though professors can play a key role in facilitating these relationships. This study extends current research on student integration to the context of interrupted education in remote environments.

Este estudio se centra en identificar los factores que influyen en la percepción de la calidad del consumidor en restaurantes de servicio a mesa en el pueblo mágico Real del Monte, Hidalgo, México. La metodología se basa en dos perspectivas, en primer lugar, en el análisis de los factores más importantes de los resultados de una encuesta de 22 ítems por medio de redes neuronales artificiales aplicada a 320 comensales y, en segundo lugar, en la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a ocho comensales. Los hallazgos muestran que los aspectos fundamentales que influyen en la percepción de los consumidores son la capacidad del personal para responder preguntas, la música de fondo, así como la calidad y el sabor de los alimentos.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Future Pensions of the Peruvian Pension System
Authors: Olivera Javier , Valderrama José A.
Published: November 2022

We study the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pension policy response on the private and public pension systems of Peru. We find that the policies allowing early withdrawals from the private pension balances imply a significant reduction in expected pension wealth by about 40 people, yet there are important heterogeneous effects: the losses are larger for males, for affiliates at the bottom of the distribution of income or pension wealth, and for older people as they have less time to rebuild their pension pots. We detect that the excess of mortality due to the pandemic will reduce the actuarial net liability of the public pension system by about 2.4 percent, even after accounting for new survival pensions and a drop in contributions. The effect is largely driven by savings due to the anticipated deaths of pensioners. Moreover, a new set of reduced pension benefits implemented in the public pension system during the pandemic could cost about 4 percent of the actuarial net reserve.

Régimen patrimonial de los matrimonios internacionales. Ley aplicable y pactos permitidos en el derecho internacional privado
Authors: Delgado Menéndez María del Carmen
Published: November 2022

El creciente número de matrimonios «internacionales», con nacionalidades, domicilios y patrimonios que vinculan a los esposos con diversos países y que generan relaciones patrimoniales tanto entre los cónyuges como con terceros, pone en evidencia la importancia del tema relativo al régimen económico patrimonial de dichos matrimonios. Esta situación reclama nuestra atención hacia las normas de derecho internacional privado en base a las cuales ha de determinarse cuál es la ley aplicable a este régimen, pues es precisamente esta ley la que definirá, entre otros, cuál es el régimen patrimonial que lo rige, cuáles son sus efectos, cuáles son los pactos permitidos y cuáles son las vías legales para que los esposos puedan cambiar el régimen vigente. En este artículo nos referimos particularmente a lo que deben tener en cuenta los matrimonios internacionales para determinar cuál es la ley aplicable a su régimen patrimonial, cuáles son los regímenes económicos patrimoniales de mayor vigencia en el mundo y cuáles son las principales similitudes y diferencias entre dichos regímenes. Ilustramos la importancia de este tema relacionándolo a circunstancias, cada vez más frecuentes, en las que los esposos cambian repetidamente el lugar del domicilio conyugal, involucrando diversos Estados y generando interrogantes respecto a la ley que habrá de aplicarse para determinar su régimen patrimonial, las principales características y efectos del régimen económico que los ha de regir y las vías legales a las que los esposos pueden recurrir para modificar dicho régimen. A modo de ejemplo, recurrimos al supuesto de un matrimonio internacional que vincula a España y a Perú, por tratarse de cónyuges que tuvieron su primer domicilio en Madrid, España, pero que hoy residen en Lima, Perú. Indicamos cuál es el factor de conexión previsto en las normas peruanas de derecho internacional privado para determinar cuál es la ley que regula el régimen patrimonial de un matrimonio internacional. Nos referimos, asimismo, a los regímenes patrimoniales de los matrimonios previstos en la legislación peruana y en la española, incluyendo sus características y efectos y las vías legales existentes para que los esposos puedan modificar dicho régimen. Finalmente, se formulan algunas propuestas específicas de modificación normativa que permitiría que el Perú cuente con un marco normativo que brinde mayor previsibilidad y seguridad jurídica a los regímenes patrimoniales de los matrimonios internacionales.

Authors: Sireesha K. , Seshaiah Ch. , Sudhakar K. , Kumar D.S. , Vinoo R.
Published: November 2022

Background: Parasitic infestation is a major constraint in sheep husbandry and this condition results in over usage of antihelminths leads to drug resistance and presence of residues in meat. To counteract this problem use of tanniferous leaves is promising approach both in terms of health of animals and in decreasing the economic burden on farmer. Methods: A total of 30 Nellore brown lambs aged 3-4 months with a mean live weight of 12.10±0.31 kg, tested positive for parasitic infestation were selected and randomly divided into five groups (NC, C, T1, T2 and T3) of 6 animals each in a completely randomized design.Treatment groups were fed with complete diet incorporated with Tanniferous Leaf Meal Mixture at different levels and both control groups were fed with complete diet without Leaf Meal Mixture.Body weights, ADG, FCR and faecal egg count were observed at fortnight intervals. Result: The mean final body weights were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in C group compared to treatment and NC groups. Among the treatment and NC groups, the mean final body weights were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher in T2 group, while the difference was not significant among other groups. The mean faecal egg counts (Egg per gram) on day 120 of the experiment were reduced by 66.67%, 85.85% and 71.63% in T1, T2 and T3 groups, respectively, when compared with the day one of the experiment.
Drawing As A Method To Facilitate Conceptual Change In Earth Sciences Education
Authors: Arthurs Leilani A. , Kowalski Chelsie M. , Elwonger Justin M.
Published: November 2022

Communicating even fundamental scientific concepts can be challenging. Furthermore, student mental models are often difficult to uncover even by the most talented teacher or researcher. Drawing is a universal process skill widely used by scientists to refine their conceptions about a wide range of topics, communicate ideas, and advance scientific thought in their disciplines. Just as drawing is useful to scientists for refining their conceptions, it has the potential to be useful for revealing misconceptions when teaching from a conceptual change perspective of science students’ mental models. Using a design study methodology and framed within the knowledge integration perspective of conceptual change, this longitudinal study investigates the efficacy of a delimited-sketch activity on the conceptual change of novices’ mental models about groundwater residence. A delimited-sketch activity, the focal case of this study, involves (i) students drawing to expand upon a provided partially-drawn concept sketch and then (ii) collectively debriefing the ideas communicated in the completed student-expanded concept sketches. The activity’s efficacy at facilitating conceptual change is tested with two different sample populations at two different large public universities in the USA. The first population is drawn from an introductory-level college geoscience course designed for non-science majors and the second population is drawn from a similar course designed for science majors. The activity has a large significant impact on moving students away from novice-like toward more expert-like conceptions of groundwater residence. The impact is observed even two months after the activity concludes.

Western Theories of the Contemporary Community: Focusing on Inoperative Community and the Coming Community
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Kim Dae Joong
Published: November 2022

This essay aims to explore genealogy of community in the contemporary western theories focusing on two major European scholars’ theories of community: Jean-Luc Nancy’s ‘the inoperative community’ and Giorgio Agamben’s ‘the coming community.’ In the history of contemporary theories, Georges Bataille, a French philosopher, contextualizing communication and community, first proposed the idea of ‘Unavowable Community’ which influenced Jean-Luc Nancy’s idea of inoperative community. The inoperative community refuses identity politics and immanence to delineate a community where singular subject, going through desubjectification, take part in unrecognizable community expurgating any violence or drive for death. Nancy metaphysically critiques limit of the idea of community and suggests inoperative community as a metaphysically fundamental community. Though sounding purely ethical, Nancy’s community is product of the collapse of communism and resistance against totalitarian or capitalistic desire for unified community. In turn, the essay delves into complicated ideas of coming community in Giorgio Agamben’s The Coming Community. Agamben, inheriting as well as critiquing Nancy’s inoperative community, proposes ‘potentiality’ and ‘ease’ as the key elements of coming community in which political theology and ethico-ontology center the idea of community of singularity and coming politics.
Pembentukan Peradilan Khusus Penyelesaian Hasil Pemilihan Kepala Daerah dalam Pelaksanaan Pemilu Serentak Nasional

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe urgency of establishing a special court for resolving election disputes because this special court is an order of Law Number 8 of 2015 which must be formed before the implementation of the national simultaneous regional elections in 2024. Although, in its development, The Constitutional Court Decision Number 85/PUU-XX/2022, the Constitutional Court has the authority to examine and adjudicate cases of disputes over election results are no longer limited to “until the establishment of a special judicial body”, but will be permanent, because such a special judicial body will no longer be formed. However, this is considered less than ideal. This study aims to outline the urgency of a special judiciary for the resolution of regional head election results in the implementation of national simultaneous elections using conceptual and statutory approaches. The results showed that it is necessary to establish a special judicial model for national simultaneous elections, which is a special judiciary that is ad hoc under the general judicial environment of the Supreme Court. For the seat of the special judiciary for dispute resolution, the regional elections are placed on the High Court to resolve disputes over the results of elections in the province as is the model of the corruption court based in the provincial capital so that the budget for the establishment and management of this special judiciary is not too large.

In addition, the message behind the warning of a child has not been conveyed properly, especially regarding the nature and meaning and its relationship to the best interests of the child. This causes the imposition of a warning against children that can injure child protection efforts as contained in the SPPA Law. Using normative research methods, this research will explore the nature of the warning punishment as the main crime and its implementation against children.
Keywords: Criminal Warning; Child Protection; SPPA Law.
AbstrakSalah satu hal khusus yang diatur dalam UU SPPA ialah mengenai pidana peringatan kepada anak, permasalahan hukum penjatuhan pidana peringatan belum optimal lantaran tidak ada aturan teknis untuk aparat penegak hukum. Selain itu, pesan dibalik pidana peringatan anak juga belum tersampaikan dengan baik, khususnya tentang hakikat dan makna serta hubungannya terhadap kepentingan terbaik bagi anak. Hal ini menyebabkan Penjatuhan Pidana Peringatan terhadap anak dapat menciderai usaha perlindungan anak sebagaimana terdapat dalam UU SPPA. Menggunakan metode penelitian normatif, penelitian ini akan menggali hakikat dari pidana peringatan sebagai pidana pokok serta implementasinya terhadap anak.
Kata Kunci: Pidana Peringatan; Perlindungan Anak; UU SPPA.

Le projet Life Artisan a pour objectif de renforcer la mobilisation nationale autour de la thématique des Solutions fondées sur la Nature pour l’adaptation aux changements climatiques (SafN). Il s’adresse à un large éventail d'acteurs locaux, régionaux, nationaux et européens (collectivités, entreprises, associations, gestionnaires d’espaces naturels, etc.). Parmi les participants au premier forum Artisan organisé le 15 mars 2022 à Lille, deux de ces acteurs nous expliquent leur positionnement vis-à-vis de cette thématique et leurs attentes pour le futur. Le premier de ces acteurs accompagne les porteurs de projets de SafN dans les territoires et le second mobilise des outils financiers d’assurance pour sécuriser et amplifier les projets.

Monkeypox virus (MPXV), causing zoonotic diseases in humans, is a member of Orthopoxvirus under Poxviridae family. The virus was first reported in monkeys in 1959 in Denmark and in humans in 1970 in the Congo. Outside Africa, the virus first appeared in the USA in 2003 and since then occurred sporadically. The virus reemerged in 2017 and now spreading globally. African wild rodent mammals are thought to be the reservoir of MPXV. Exotic trade of animals and international travel favors the dissemination of MPXV. Genetic analysis shows two clades of the MPXV. Smallpox vaccine shows cross-protection and people who never in contact with Orthopoxvirus affected more than exposed ones. Fever, muscle pain, headache, and vesicle formation are the dominant clinical sign. Guarnieri-like inclusions and Ballooning degenerations are important pathognomic lesion of MPXV. It may produce case fatality rate up to 11%. Genetic materials alterations may favor the reemergence of the virus. The continuing occurrence over 73437 cases in 109 countries shows that MPXV can spread among humans competently and can be a serious issue of global public health concern. Here, we summarize the existing knowledge about re-emergence and insights into MPXV which will be of useful to curb its occurrence.

Ternate Island is a volcanic island resulting from the activity of the Gamalama Volcano which is located in the northern Maluku archipelago, Indonesia. Ternate Island is famous as the only island that produces special spices and is the zero point of the world's spice route because the main producer of cloves is here. As a small island, Ternate Island has several limitations including the availability of water resources. Given the scarcity of surface water on the island of Ternate, groundwater in shallow aquifers and deep aquifers is the main source of fresh water which is important for irrigation activities, tourism, services and supporting urban and industrial infrastructure, as well as drinking water needs for people who live densely and are concentrated in the east. and the southern part of the island which is now the city of Ternate. The phenomenon of groundwater utilization in Ternate City is generally massively carried out to support economic activities in the city of Ternate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential and quality of groundwater resources which are an important part of water management on the island of Ternate by microzoning the quality of groundwater for the sustainability of the city which is famous as the world's spice city based on its groundwater potential. Determination of groundwater samples as many as 67 wells distributed on the island of Ternate, 58 well sample points were categorized as free aquifers (MA-SG) and 7 points of depressed aquifers (SB). Ternate island area of ​​102 km2 with volcanic geology in 3 rock categories. Geological distribution also affects the hydrogeological potential and groundwater quality on the island of Ternate. Piper's trilinear diagram and stiff diagram methods were adopted for the assessment of the main ion quality of groundwater and the distribution of groundwater potential was interpolated with cubic splines to obtain correlations between sample points based on basic parameters of volcanic hydrogeology. The total potential for groundwater recharge is 1,291 million m3/year, there are 5 groundwater quality zones spread among 67 sample points with 76% distribution of elements Calcium Bicarbonate (CaCO3), Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO₂), magnesium bicarbonate Mg(HCO3)2 and widely distributed on the island of ternate, while 25% magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and potassium chloride (KCL) are scattered locally on the island of ternate. On an ongoing basis the bicarbonate facies micro-zonation is hydrogeochemical with local flow interactions in volcanic deposits, where infiltration tends to be close to the groundwater sample point, while the chloride facies is a groundwater zone that is correlated with flow patterns from upstream to downstream and has interacted with magma or was intruded. seawater is characterized by high Ca and TDS.
