Administrative Law and the Regulation of Informal Sector Enterprises in Uganda
Authors: Besigomwe Kenneth
Published: December 2024

This research explores the role of administrative law in regulating Uganda's informal sector, which plays a crucial role in employment and economic inclusivity. Despite its significance, the sector faces numerous challenges, including difficulties in formal registration, inconsistent enforcement of regulations, and limited monitoring. These barriers prevent many informal businesses from transitioning to the formal economy, restricting their potential for growth and access to essential services.
The study examines the regulatory framework governing the informal sector, focusing on initiatives aimed at simplifying processes such as business registration, tax compliance, and licensing. It emphasizes the importance of legal recognition and protection for informal businesses, which enables access to financial services, social security, and intellectual property rights. However, issues like administrative discretion, corruption, and inconsistent enforcement by regulatory authorities hinder the sector’s development and create an unequal playing field for informal entrepreneurs.
Additionally, the research investigates how administrative law contributes to financial inclusion, facilitating access to microfinance, mobile money, and banking services for informal businesses. By improving financial inclusion, administrative reforms can help integrate informal enterprises into the formal economy. Through case studies, the research highlights both successful and unsuccessful regulatory efforts, providing key insights into the challenges faced and the lessons learned which are essential for shaping future reforms that support sustainable economic growth in Uganda.
The effect of modifications to DNA structure on the architecture of bacterial DNA condensed with a nucleoid-associated protein
Authors: Zheng Kevin , Walker Azra , Meyer Anne S.
Published: December 2024

Bacteria are adaptive organisms that have developed various protective mechanisms to respond to a range of environmental stressors like nutrient deprivation. One distinct protective mechanism in Escherichia coli that will be discussed further involves the overproduction of a nucleoid-associated protein called DNA-binding protein (Dps) from starved cells. The high concentration of Dps protects the bacteria’s genetic material by binding to the DNA and forming a Dps-DNA condensate. The morphology of these Dps-DNA condensates in an in-vitro system will change under different environmental conditions. To better understand how altering Dps-DNA interactions independent of environmental stressors affects the resulting morphology of the Dps-DNA condensate in an in-vitro system, fluorescence microscopy imaging was utilized to examine the characteristics of the condensate in response to different DNA features. Upon varying the length of linear DNA fragments incubated with Dps protein, the lengths of the DNA did not change the morphology/structure of the condensate. However, incubation with linear 5k DNA fragments resulted in a greater amount for and larger sized condensate formation. When Dps was incubated with DNA fragments that were either supercoiled or relaxed, minimal differences were observed in the size and structure of condensates. These findings demonstrate that Dps can bind to and condense multiple DNA conformations, helping better explain the function of Dps in organisms other than E. coli.
An experience-based sampling approach to examining prior experience in adaptive speech perception
Authors: Cutler Seth H. , Xie Xin , Gu Yuting , Eclevia Bella , Kurumada Chigusa
Published: December 2024

Prior experience is a powerful mechanism for many types of learning. In speech, listeners draw on their prior experience to perceive sounds, predict words, and determine the likely sentence structure intended by the speaker. However, the impact of listeners’ long-term linguistic experiences understanding novel talkers’ speech and their accents remains unexplored. Researchers have attempted to quantify and assess prior experience, but their efforts are tainted by shortcomings related to recall and self-reporting biases. The goal of this thesis is to develop a means of assessing prior experience, as it relates to accents, by combining multiple different metrics to provide a holistic view on prior experience. Specifically, this paper proposes and validates a new mobile-based experience-based sampling survey of nonnative accent perception (SNAP). Combined with a perceptual experiment, the SNAP survey provides an individualized predictor of listeners’ accent-comprehension capabilities. The paper discusses how multiple research instruments including SNAP can provide sufficient evidence to be able to conclude that prior experience does play a role in facilitating accent adaptation.
Enhancing Vocational Education in Primary Schools Evaluating Teacher Training Effectiveness in Ilala Municipality, Tanzania
Authors: Msangi Jabu , Mwila Prospery M.
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of teacher training programs in enhancing the teaching and learning process of vocational skills education in primary schools within Ilala Municipality, Tanzania. Using the Kirkpatrick Model of Training Evaluation, the research examined current pedagogical practices, assessed training program effectiveness, and identified challenges in vocational skills instruction. The mixed-methods approach involved 360 participants, including teachers, heads of schools, pupils, and education officers, with data collected via structured questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document reviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Findings revealed that teacher training programs often emphasize theoretical over practical teaching methodologies, with limited resources and follow-up support exacerbating the challenges. Recommendations include tailored professional development programs, improved resource allocation, and systemic reforms to ensure alignment with vocational education goals. The findings underscore the need for an integrated approach to bridge the gap between curriculum requirements and classroom practices.

Authors: Baguio Jenilou A. , Detalla Jhon Honeylouv T. , Fineza Detchie Mark L. , Galindo Neil Ian W. , Cuevas Jr Jose F.
Published: December 2024

The study aimed to explore the experiences of barangay officials in handling libelous cases. Using an interview guide, the researchers gathered data from 10 barangay officials in Ozamiz City. The study utilized the qualitative research method using the Moustakas data analysis approach to obtain meaningful themes. The findings revealed five themes: encountering financial disputes as triggers for libel cases, navigating the impact of cyber libel and social media platforms, facing challenges during mediation efforts, engaging in the mediation process and its results, and gaining personal and professional growth upon members. The barangay officials shared their insights into how debt disputes often lead to libelous accusations, highlighting the emotional and financial stress involved. They also described the challenges of mediating cases where emotions run high and the need for patience and empathy to ensure fair resolutions. The researchers recommend that barangay officials should undergo regular training on handling libelous cases, including strategies for emotional management and the role of social media in conflicts. The researchers also suggest that barangay officials work closely with community members to promote awareness about respectful communication and the potential consequences of libelous behavior, thereby reducing the frequency of such disputes.
A tale of Aliağa: Transformation from a farm to an industrial hub
Authors: Erdem Umut , Karataş Neslihan , Baycan Tüzin
Published: December 2024

Within capitalist production relations, industrialization processes and policies change and transform settlements socially, economically and spatially. This change and transformation also change the hierarchy and gradation system between settlements, which are described as urban systems. In this context, Aliağa is an important settlement located in İzmir, the third largest metropolis in Turkey, and has been referred to as an industrial zone since the 1960s and has strategic importance as a national and international import and export port. While it was a rural settlement where farm and farm workers lived, it has been transformed into a settlement where macro-scale investment decisions such as special industrial zones, organized industrial zones, industrial areas, energy conversion facilities, thermal power plants, ports, railways and highways are located. While this process is still dynamic, it has become an important settlement chosen by large capital integrated into international production and value chain networks. While industrial areas have increased more than 3-fold in the district between 1990 and 2018, capital accumulation continues to accelerate with new investment decisions. Today, the fact that it hosts the country's largest foreign-capital companies (PETKİM, TÜPRAŞ, HABAŞ, SOCAR, NEMPORT, STAR Rafineri, etc.) and that the ship dismantling facilities, which are the only ship recycling facilities in the country, are located here, carries the district to an important position. When examined in terms of İzmir cargo regimes in 2020 (export, import, cabotage and transit), having one of the most important ports of the country with a share of 75.1% (İzmir Development Agency; 2022) has also brought the district to the forefront, and the settlement has entered a rapid change and transformation process. This study analyzes the historicity of the industrialization, capital concentration and spatial transformation processes of Aliağa district using qualitative (examination of studies on the historicity of Aliağa) and quantitative data-based (ISO 1000 company ranking, satellite images, plan studies) methods. It analyzes the "growth" adventure of a village settlement that has a population of over 100 thousand at the end of a 70-year period and has become an industrial city with industrial zones, ports and energy infrastructures, and the growth process initiated by public investments guided by development plans, which accelerated and transformed with the impetus of private sector investments, by analyzing the periodic development of capital accumulation and industrialization dynamics. This study differs from the literature by analyzing the spatiality of capital accumulation cycles and contributes to the literature by analyzing how the tendency of capital accumulation affects its spatial change and transformation in the example of Aliağa district.
The evolving landscape of Istanbul's coffee shops: Navigating disruption in a changing urban environment
Authors: Dökmeci Vedia , Önem Ayse Buket , Arslanlı Kerem Yavuz
Published: December 2024

During the final quarter of the last century, Istanbul experienced rapid population growth with increases in income, an expanded free trade economy, and the influence of greater globalization. Together, these stimulated an increase in the demands for new services. One of these demands was answered by an influx of coffee shop chains, and this effected both the growth patterns of traditional coffee houses and introduced a new lifestyle. Despite the closure of many businesses due to economic crises, coffee shops are increasing in number. This paper investigates the spatial distribution of coffee shops with respect to the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of several selected districts by using regression analysis. The number of coffee shops is taken as the dependent variable and the social life index and the proportion of the population aged over 65 are used as independent variables. These were chosen through an evaluation of several characteristics of the districts under discussion. According to the results, the location of coffee shops in Istanbul is affected more by a district’s social life index and by the proportion of its population which is aged over 65 than the other characteristics of the districts. The impact of the multi-center development on the distribution of coffee shops is explained. the balanced distribution of coffee shops with respect to other small businesses is suggested for further research.

Lugares que estamos, mas não podemos existir: a formação da experiencia de si em um sujeito surdo no ensino superior
Authors: De Oliveira Lima Carlos Roberto
Published: December 2024

A educação de sujeitos surdos em nível superior constitui-se em um desafio. São espaços que, por direito assegurado, estes devem ocupar, entretanto, o que fazer quando tais lugares não os permitem existir? É pensando nesta problemática que o objetivo deste artigo se respalda: analisar nos discursos de um sujeito surdo as construções de subjetividades e as experiências de si produzidas dentro de uma instituição educacional de nível superior para problematizar como tais conduções de condutas se convertem em formas de vidas surdas heterogêneas. Servindo de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de análises a partir do referencial foucaultiano, percebeu-se uma formação de subjetividades surdas interseccionadas com outros marcadores da diferença que, ao imbricarem-se, produzem sujeitos surdos que sentem a obrigação de registrar em sua memória que possuem uma alteridade e, necessitando conviver no ambiente educacional de nível superior, inscrevem-se, negativamente mediante as produções de normas sociais.
Nervo exposto: a experiência na comunidade quilombola de Algodoalzinho em Curuçá (PA)
Authors: AZEVEDO THIAGO
Published: December 2024

O projeto Nervo Exposto surgiu com a proposta de desenvolver uma fotoetnografia da comunidade Quilombola de Algodoalzinho na Ilha de Fora situada na Reserva Extrativista Mãe Grande de Curuçá-PA. Através de um processo de vivência com a comunidade, pode-se desenvolver um olhar participante do cotidiano dessa comunidade. Ela possui em seu modo de vida, aspectos dos saberes tradicionais oriundos das influências Afro-indígenas, através do trabalho com a terra, da pesca e da tiração de caranguejo. Apesar da maior parte da comunidade pertencer ao espectro evangélico, o imaginário da relação com as matas e mangues por meio de encantados e oiaras, permanece vivo na mente dos moradores. Além do trabalho, pode-se perceber também as dinâmicas sociais dessa comunidade que tem como base que a sustenta uma perspectiva matriarcal por meio das mulheres mais velhas que forma o eixo central das famílias que habitam o local.
Desvio e normatização na peça “Navalha na carne”: um estudo de interacionismo simbólico
Authors: Barboza Garcia Ana Flávia
Published: December 2024

Neste estudo, investigamos os processos de normatização e rotulagem de desvio na obra "Navalha na Carne" (1967) de Plínio Marcos. A peça retrata a marginalização cujo estigma transcende o teatro, impactando fortemente os espectadores conservadores. O objetivo é compreender como uma parcela da sociedade recebia a obra, utilizando conceitos da Antropologia Social, especialmente a perspectiva de interacionismo simbólico de Howard Becker. Após exposição e análise das fontes, foi possível entender que não apenas os órgãos de censura agiam deliberadamente com o intuito de proibir a peça, mas também um determinado segmento social, em especial, instituições católicas. Além disso, os processos de normatização impostos por essas instituições demonstraram como os personagens e suas práticas eram percebidos como desviantes, representando uma ameaça à ordem social.
Excesso, sociedade e sofrimento: novos ideais de conduta sob a ótica da teoria sociológica e da psicanálise
Authors: Cruz Ricardo Luiz
Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é olhar para os novos ideais de conduta em vigor atualmente, sob o ponto de vista de um conjunto de textos do campo da sociologia e da psicanálise. Essa literatura nos ajuda a entender as atuais conexões entre, de um lado, o exercício do trabalho e a procura da satisfação, e, de outro, os modos como nos relacionamos e costumamos sofrer nos dias de hoje. Mas ela também nos auxilia na compreensão das resistências a uma ideologia do excesso que coloca num segundo plano a construção de relações com base no respeito, confiança, amor, dignidade e solidariedade.

Existir no neoliberalismo: reflexões sobre subjetivação e sofrimento psíquico no contemporâneo
Authors: Dos Santos Alves Isadora , Tavares Cavalcanti Liberato Mariana , Pereira Barros João Paulo , Dos Santos Jucá Vládia Jamile
Published: December 2024

Mais que uma política econômica, o Neoliberalismo opera seu funcionamento sobre modos de subjetivação orientados pelo individualismo e por relações sociais pautadas na concorrência. Tal panorama afeta e atravessa o campo de vivência e compreensão do sofrimento e da saúde mental. Este artigo visa refletir sobre as incidências do neoliberalismo na subjetividade, no sofrimento e nos seus modos de gestão no contemporâneo. Trata-se de um estudo teórico, construído por referenciais da Psicologia Social, em interface com a Saúde Coletiva e as Ciências Sociais.

Pode o pássaro voar sob o enlace da serpente? Sustentando a atenção psicossocial em meio às ruínas neoliberais
Authors: Ribeiro de Oliveira Camila , Nascimento Oliveira Marta Clarice , De Freitas Costa Araújo Levi , Tavares Cavalcanti Liberato Mariana , Pereira Barros João Paulo
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho visa discutir de que modos o neoliberalismo impacta na produção de cuidados na atenção psicossocial ao produzir uma saúde cada vez mais individualizada e biomédica, que mercantiliza o sofrimento psíquico e destrói as bases de políticas públicas de saúde conquistadas pelos trabalhadores, usuários, familiares e movimentos populares no processo da reforma psiquiátrica brasileira e da luta antimanicomial. Diante da necessidade de discussão e reinvenção que este contexto coloca, apresenta-se algumas pistas para pensar a produção de resistências tomando a arte como um caminho possível.
"Como sobreviver a tantas adversidades?" Neoliberalismo, precarização da vida e gestão dos sentimentos na experiência de conselheiros tutelares
Authors: Pereira Rabelo Thiago
Published: December 2024

No escopo deste artigo, propomos discutir como o contexto neoliberal estabelece “formas obrigatórias de expressar os sentimentos” que estão relacionadas com a (im)produtividade individual no exercício da peculiar função de conselheiro/a tutelar. As formas pelas quais os conselheiros tutelares expressam os sentimentos que emergem do cotidiano de trabalho nos encaminham para pensar um processo generalizado de precarização da vida, experimentado principalmente através da solidão, da impotência e da frustração. Consideramos que as emoções não são apenas respostas individuais, mas também são moldadas socialmente para servir aos interesses neoliberais. Observando as molduras narrativas pelas quais eles expressam seus sentimentos, iluminamos a dimensão mais capilar e cotidiana da funcionalização do sofrimento enquanto dispositivo de reprodução e reificação das novas fronteiras de exploração capitalista, nos moldes de um “controle das afetividades” tipicamente colonial que se aproxima da necropolítica.

Conservative therapy of scaphoid waist fractures
Authors: Vlček Martin , Štefanisko Stanislav , Pech Jan , Veigl David
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The goal of this work is to determine, using the analysis of our own patient group and current professional publications, in which cases fractures of the scaphoid waist can be treated conservatively by short-term plaster fixation with a low risk of non-union developing.
Material and method: A group of 19 patients (17 men and 2 women) with the mean age 31 years (range 20–43, SD 7.3) with fractures of scaphoid waist were indicated for conservative treatment. The diagnosis was made on the basis of X-ray and CT examination. Conservative therapy consisted of applying plaster fixation of the wrist and thumb for a minimum of 6 weeks in completely non-dislocated fractures (mean 6.4 weeks, range 6–10 weeks). The other fractures were immobilized with a plaster cast for a total of 9 weeks. All patients were followed for at least 6 months.
Results: At 6 months after the injury, 2 of the patients reported mild pain at rest (1× with healed fracture, 1× with a non-union). Pain during movement occurred in 5 patients with a developed non-union. Good healing of the fracture in the anatomical position was observed in 10 patients (53%), in 2 cases (11%) an angular dislocation occured during healing, and in 7 patients (37%) the result of treatment was a non-union.
Conclusion: Conservative therapy is suitable for fractures of the scaphoid waist without dislocation and with dislocation of bone fragments up to 1.5 mm. In these fractures, conservative therapy has a low risk of non-union developing. X-ray imaging is insufficient. In case the fracture line does not appear on the X-ray and there is a significant clinical finding, especially in the group of patients with a typical occurrence of a fracture of the scaphoid waist, i.e. in young men aged between 25 and 40 years, CT examination must be performed. The decision on the type of treatment must always be based on the CT scan.
Aplicación de los SIG en el mapa nacional topográfico parcelario de mitad de siglo XX: relaciones territoriales de los molinos aceiteros preindustriales de Écija (Sevilla)
Authors: Moya Muñoz Jorge
Published: December 2024

El pueblo sevillano de Écija ha sido uno de los máximos exponentes en la comercialización del aceite durante siglos, para lo que fue necesario edificar un gran número de molinos aceiteros. La continuada actividad oleícola dio como consecuencia una organización territorial que perduró hasta el cambio de paradigma del campo de mitad de siglo XX. Investigaciones recientes han abordado la relación entre los molinos y el olivar histórico astigitano. No obstante, queda por profundizar en la relación entre los molinos aceiteros y el resto de elementos existentes en el agro ecijano. El objetivo del presente artículo es el de generar conocimiento sobre la relación entre los molinos y el resto de la infraestructura agropecuaria, imprescindible para entender la configuración territorial íntegra del municipio a partir de los SIG. Para ello se ha utilizado como base gráfica el Mapa Nacional Topográfico Parcelario de los años 50 del siglo XX.
Forma, construcción y restauración de bóvedas tabicadas en el monasterio de Santa María de Piedra, Nuévalos (Zaragoza)
Authors: Gómez Navarro Belén , Estepa Rubio Antonio
Published: December 2024

Este artículo pretende documentar la solución constructiva aplicada para cubrir el espacio de la escalera ejecutada durante la ampliación del siglo XVI del monasterio de Santa María de Piedra, mediante la ejecución de bóvedas tabicadas. Presentamos un estudio sobre el desarrollo constructivo de la solución empleada, así como un análisis formal del modelo geométrico sobre el que hubo que intervenir para recuperar y rehabilitar el espacio de la escalera. En comparación con las bóvedas realizadas en cantería, la eficacia de las tabicadas es patente en cuestiones como la economía de medios, la rapidez de ejecución o la ligereza y todo ello ha supuesto que este sistema sea valorado y puesto en práctica en diversos periodos de la historia de la construcción.
Una mirada al levantamiento arquitectónico desde educación secundaria: el barrio en el que habito. La geometría del Cabanyal
Authors: Ontiveros Llorens Irene
Published: December 2024

El barrio del Cabanyal-Canyamelar en Valencia, España, es un ejemplo destacado de arquitectura vernácula y modernista, influido por su relación histórica con el mar y la pesca, consolidándose como Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC). Sin embargo, ha enfrentado amenazas urbanísticas y gentrificación. Este estudio lo aborda como un laboratorio educativo, destacando el levantamiento gráfico arquitectónico como herramienta pedagógica para la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO). Mediante proyectos en Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual (EPVA), que incluyen diseño cerámico y técnicas de grabado, los estudiantes desarrollan competencias técnicas, creativas y críticas, fortaleciendo su identidad cultural y su vínculo con el entorno. El artículo concluye que estas prácticas promueven la sensibilidad hacia el patrimonio y propone su inclusión sistemática en la educación artística para revitalizar contextos culturales como el Cabanyal-Canyamelar.

Actualmente, las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, el internet de las cosas y la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) se posicionan como herramientas tecnológicas educativas innovadoras de frente a los nuevos retos, la globalización y hacia una nueva sociedad educativa. Sin embargo, existe muy poca implementación al área del Derecho. Este artículo presenta como objetivo principal el análisis de los procesos cognitivos en el momento en que se implementa un simulador con realidad virtual y apoyo de la IA en la enseñanza-aprendizaje, a una rama del derecho, que son los Medios Alternos de Solución de Conflictos (MASC) en México. La metodología empleada en el análisis estadístico es aleatoria, teórica documental y empírica. El simulador fue elaborado bajo la metodología de desarrollo de software del modelo ADDIE y su programación en UNITY. Para la inmersión se utilizaron los lentes OCULUS QUEST 2. La metodología utilizada en la enseñanza-aprendizaje fueron los Modelos Teóricos Locales (MTL) y la recopilación de datos fue a través de cuestionarios, entrevistas, estudios de casos, observación, videos, etc. Como resultado, se encontró que el simulador es útil para presentar escenarios, casos reales de MASC, un videojuego con evaluación y retroalimentación, etc. Asimismo, el alumnado de derecho o MASC puede interactuar y estar inmerso con dicho simulador y de esta manera se estimularán las emociones, los procesos cognitivos, el aprendizaje situado, individualizado, colaborativo y significativo.
Reflexiones en torno a la menstruación: un acercamiento al ixiptla, tlacuilo, amoxtli y su reactualización por medio del audio-visual
Authors: Castillo Valderrama Almendra Sheira
Published: December 2024

Para los antiguos pueblos mesoamericanos, el concepto de imagen iba más allá de su representación. Esta se entendía como una envoltura que contenía las fuerzas/energías/deidades que nos rodean. Estos personificadores podían ser tanto objetos, pinturas o personas que portaban los atavíos simbólicos de la energía en cuestión. El material de elaboración era muy importante y el proceso en sí mismo les iba dotando de esa fuerza. Les tlacuilo eran algunes de les productores del ixiptla, por medio de pinturas en los llamados amoxtli. Manuscritos que tenían la característica de leerse a través de la verbalización o actuación de quien los iba leyendo, primando la oralidad de la palabra. En este texto, además, expongo dos propuestas de montaje desde el audiovisual, en un afán por reactualizar estos soportes en la contemporaneidad, a partir del estudio e intento de encarnación de Xochiquetzal, Zotz y la Tlahuelpuchi, energías vinculadas con la menstruación. Así, esta propuesta intenta crear una red multidisciplinaria que se teje desde una interseccionalidad epistémica.

Intimismo y narrativa textual: una nueva perspectiva del fotolibro contemporáneo
Authors: Amador Garduño Alba , Espinosa de los Monteros Clavijo Erika
Published: December 2024

Este artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo ahondar en la percepción del fotolibro desde una perspectiva intimista en el que el texto se integra como complemento fundamental de la imagen, configurando así un nuevo tipo de narrativa. A partir del análisis histórico del fotolibro y el álbum familiar, se plantea la aparición de un fotolibro personal que diluye las fronteras entre lo público y lo privado.  A su vez, la inclusión del texto como acompañante de la imagen, cada vez más frecuente en las últimas décadas, permite reconfigurar el fotolibro como una pieza artística completa, con el potencial de extenderse más allá de las galerías y el coleccionismo limitado, llegando así a todo tipo de espectadores. En este contexto, este estudio explora las últimas tendencias que perfilan el nacimiento de un nuevo fotolibro que acumula estas características fundamentales y que se mueve en un limbo aún dudoso entre el fotolibro y el libro. Pese a ello, se encamina con certeza a un nuevo método que invita a los artistas a convertir lo cotidiano y lo personal en un mecanismo para acercarse más al lector.

Happy Family Education Curriculum From the Perspective of Manba'ussa'adah Book by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir
Authors: Maslahah Siti , Idawati Khoirotul
Published: December 2024

Family, as the primary educational institution, plays a crucial role in shaping individuals, and its harmony is essential for the well-being of all members. This study explores the concept of family education from the perspective of Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir's Manba'ussa'adah, focusing on maintaining family harmony. The research employs library research methods, utilizing two primary sources: Manba'ussa'adah by Faqihuddin Abdul Kodir and Menyelami Telaga Kebahagiaan. Data collection was conducted through documentation, and analysis was carried out using descriptive techniques. The study reveals that the curriculum for happy family education outlined in Manba'ussa'adah emphasizes providing fundamental knowledge to family members, particularly the husband and wife, to guide the family toward happiness. Faqihuddin presents three key stages in achieving family harmony: the first stage focuses on fulfilling basic physiological needs, such as proper nutrition, rest, and sexual fulfillment; the second stage involves establishing good relationships through principles like mutual acceptance (taraadhin), marriage contracts (mistsaqan galidzan), and effective communication (tasyawur); the third stage highlights reproductive health, including hygiene, pregnancy preparation, and joint responsibility in raising children. This framework offers valuable insights into maintaining a harmonious family life, fostering an environment where every member can thrive.
Pengembangan Media Gambar Berseri untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbahasa Indonesia Siswa Kelas III pada Pembelajaran Daring di SDN 102025 Rambung Sialang Sawit
Authors: Antika Rindi , Bahri Samsul
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kemampuan siswa dalam memilih  Berbahasa mengembangkan kalimat, dan menggunakan ejaan dalam  Berbahasa masih sangat kurang. Hal ini ditunjukkan dengan ketercapaian KKM dari 22 siswa yang bisa mencapai KKM hanya 22% dalam berbahasa, sedangkan yang belum mencapai KKM 78%.

Getúlio Vargas e o Estado Novo: possibilidades do uso do conceito de ‘estetização da política’
Authors: Dos Santos Carolina Machado
Published: December 2024

Compreendendo que o Estado Novo (1937-1945) comandado por Getúlio Vargas se utilizou de influências nazifascistas para organização do seu aparato propagandístico, este artigo objetiva explorar as possibilidades de entendimento do regime a partir do conceito de ‘estetização da política’ cunhado por Walter Benjamin. Além disso, também propõe abrir uma reflexão no que tange o reconhecimento da fotografia pública enquanto um instrumento da ‘estetização da política’.

Congenital anomalies of gut fixation, such as intestinal malrotation, are predominantly asymptomatic, and their true prevalence in the general population remains unclear. Symptomatic cases are rare and often present with a wide range of atypical clinical manifestations, leading to delayed diagnosis or detection only after complications arise. We report two cases of intestinal malrotation to raise medical awareness of this condition. Case 1: A 12-year-old boy presented with multiple episodes of vomiting and abdominal pain over the previous 24 hours. His history revealed recurrent, non-periodic episodes of abdominal pain, some accompanied by vomiting, over the past three years. During one such episode, he had undergone an appendectomy. Case 2: An 11-month-old girl was admitted with recurrent, prolonged episodes of vomiting over the past three months. Despite a good appetite before and after these episodes, they were initially misdiagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease. In both cases, malrotation was also suspected based on clinical presentation. Radiological investigations confirmed the diagnosis, which was subsequently managed surgically. However, diagnostic delays were observed in both instances. In conclusion, a high index of suspicion for intestinal malrotation is warranted in patients with unexplained, recurrent episodes of vomiting and/or abdominal pain to prevent complications and facilitate timely intervention.
On the Armenian Death Toll and Demographic Impact of the 1909 Adana Massacres
Authors:   Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Foundation, Tatoyan Robert
Published: December 2024

This article examines the Armenian death toll and the demographic impact of the 1909 Adana massacres. It analyzes statistics on the number of Armenians who perished in these massacres and the distribution of casualties across various regions of Cilicia, using primary source evidence. Additionally, the article explores discrepancies between Ottoman and Armenian statistical data on the number of victims, noting that the figures reported by the Ottoman government are approximately 4 to 5 times lower than those reported by Armenian ecclesiastical authorities.
The comparison of Ottoman and Armenian statistics before and after the massacres reveals that these killings did not result in a relative decrease in the permanent Armenian population within the Adana Vilayet—the region most severely affected by the massacres. This outcome can be attributed to the following factors:
1. Based on the most reliable data, it is estimated that approximately 15,000 to 18,000 Armenians were killed during the 1909 Adana massacres. Of these, at least one-third—between 5,000 and 7,000, though estimates may range from 8,000 to 10,000, constituting up to half of the total death toll—were labor migrants. Consequently, the demographic impact of the massacres affected both the Armenians of Cilicia and those who had migrated to Cilicia from Western Armenia and other regions of the Ottoman Empire.
2. Following the massacres, Adana and other regions of Cilicia quickly returned to a relatively normal economic activity, thanks to substantial foreign investments in infrastructure (notably the Berlin-Baghdad railway), industry, trade, and agriculture. The population loss in the city and Sanjak of Adana—the areas most affected by the massacres—was rapidly offset by a new influx of Armenian labor migrants.

Published: December 2024

Following the IEC 61508 standard, this paper presents a combined "HAZOP-LOPA-FTA" method for evaluating the safety level of a High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) which is a type of SIS. The technique combines hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP), layers of protection analysis (LOPA), and fault tree analysis (FTA). This paper aims to confirm that a safety instrumented system achieves the intended safety integrity level as per IEC 61508. If not, suggest upgrading the safety instrumented system to lessen the effects of the scenario under study. The technique was used in the C-63 distillation column at RA1K Skikda refinery. HAZOP identified important causes and effects. According to LOPA, a minimum safety level was determined. The real SIL rating was calculated using the Tree module in the GRIF software.
