NOTHING GOOD EVER COMES OF VIOLENCE
Authors: Ghosh Sheenjini
Published: June 2024

Toni Morrison's seminal work, "The Bluest Eye," has been a subject of extensive critical analysis, with scholars exploring various aspects of the narrative. However, a discernible gap exists in the comprehensive examination of gendered violence within the novel. While existing critiques touch upon psychic and gendered violence inflicted by Whites upon the Black community, this paper aims to address the underexplored dimensions of violence within domestic settings and trace its broader implications. The exploration spans physical, sexual, verbal, and psychological forms of violence, delving into the intricate manifestations and consequences of each. Drawing on definitions from the World Health Organization and other scholars, the paper establishes a framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of violence. It also highlights the interconnectedness of different forms of violence and their impact on the psyche. Through a meticulous examination of instances within "The Bluest Eye," the paper elucidates the gendered nature of violence within households, dissecting physical altercations, sexual exploitation, verbal abuse, and psychological trauma. The analysis underscores the cyclical pattern of violence, affecting characters individually and contributing to the disintegration of families. Moreover, the paper explores the intricate relationship between physical and psychological violence, emphasizing how societal notions of beauty contribute to the characters' internal struggles. The work of scholars such as Wilfred D. Samuels and Clenora Hudson-Weems is referenced to illuminate the psychological toll of violence on characters like Pecola Breedlove. The exploration extends beyond gender dynamics, examining how violence operates in colonial and non-colonial societies, and how it is often a tool for control and demoralization. Drawing parallels with real-world violence, the paper connects the characters' experiences to broader societal issues. The paper presents a poignant observation of violence as a pervasive theme in "The Bluest Eye," resonating with Martin Luther King's insight that violence begets more violence. By unraveling the layers of gendered violence within the novel, this analysis not only contributes to the understanding of Morrison's work but also prompts reflection on broader societal challenges.

Published: June 2024

The demand for power is quite significant on a global scale. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) Technology may be used to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and to provide alternative sustainable energy sources. MFC Technology uses microorganisms to produce power using the organic matter found in the environment. MFC is a biofuel cell, that generates electricity by converting organic material into electricity. Due to its ability to use wastewater as a substrate and to not require a metal catalyst, it can be taken into consideration as a more sustainable alternative for traditional fuel cells. Waste material are first transformed to chemical energy and then, after being treated to the desired level to electrical energy. An anode, cathode and a separation membrane are the basic components of MFC. MFC technology has the potential to become a more environment friendly fuel cell alternative. Despite being viewed as a promising technology, MFC is not yet commercially viable for usage on a large scale due to its poor current generation per unit cost and high internal resistance. More study should be conducted on the creation of more efficient electrode materials and the development of resilient microorganisms as biocatalysts in order to boost the viability of MFC technology.

INTERACTIONS OF LEAD, ZINC AND NICKEL TOXICITY IN THEIR EFFECTS ON GROWTH RESPONSES OF CICER ARIETINUM L. AND BRASSICA NIGRA L
Authors: P Leela , Meena P Karthiga
Published: June 2024

Heavy metals are most available in the soil and aquatic ecosystems, with small amounts present in the atmosphere in the form of particles or vapours. Low doses of heavy metals can be attributed to a wide range of activities and the metals are non-degradable and persistent, thereby affecting the survival of plants and the level and pattern of biodiversity. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of potentially toxic elements of lead, zinc, and nickel on morphological and biochemical parameters in Cicer arietinum and Brassica nigra. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of chickpea and mustard seedlings to lead, zinc and nickel at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, ppm concentrations. It affected all growth parameters (germination, seedling growth, biomass, vigour index, biochemical constituents such as pigments, protein, carbohydrates and enzymes) studied in the test crop compared to the respective control. The lower concentrations of 10 ppm of heavy metals showed stimulatory effects on Chickpea and Mustard seedlings. The extract showed more inhibitory effect at 50ppm than at 10ppm concentration on germination, morphological and biochemical parameters of Chickpea and Mustard seeds. It may be due to the influence of different concentrations of heavy metals. The toxicity also slows down the speed of germination. This heavy metal also retards several developmental events in the crucial stages of test crops at the seedling stage. Lateral roots are essential for the successful establishment of seedlings and it is significant to note that the development of this root is affected by the heavy metallic ions. Similarly, toxicity increases with an increase in concentration. The germination percentage, protein, carbohydrate, shoot and root lengths, and photosynthetic pigments including carotenoids and chlorophyll a and b were all significantly decreased by seedlings. In Proline, a reversal of the trend was seen. From the experiment, it was noticed that lead is the least toxic of all the three heavy metallic ions studied, and it affects the germination of seeds and reduces root development. Heavy metals interfere with plant metabolism, resulting in the inhibition of plant growth and yield. The study suggests that the cultivation of crops like chickpeas and mustard in metal-polluted soils should be avoided or appropriate control measures be adopted to maintain the heavy metal content of the soil.

Authors: Amir Mahmud
Published: June 2024

Mangroves almost grow evenly across the coastal areas of Madura Island and its groups of islands, although the conditions vary (bad and good) based on the land cover of each location. From an ecosystem services perspective, mangroves have an important function for humans and nature in terms of provisioning, regulating and maintaining, and culture. The aim of this study is to describe the forms of land use for mangrove in district spatial planning and the practices of land tenure for mangrove in four districts on Madura Island. By relying on literature review methods and being complemented by observations and interviews, the data was elucidated analytical descriptive. The result of the study shows that the use of mangrove ecosystems tends to be emphasized in regulating and maintaining services (disaster prevention) and less in cultural services (tourism); however, the restraining implementation of space use did not work adequately to control the land conversion threat. In terms of land tenure, mangrove-covered land was controlled by parties depending on location, namely individuals, communities, companies, and government agencies that manage natural resources. Mangroves have great opportunities based on ecosystem services whose development needs to be increased while preventing and stopping threats to the existence and sustainability of mangroves.

Introduction: Stunting, a form of chronic malnutrition, remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, with high prevalence rates among young children. Dietary diversity has been identified as a crucial factor influencing the nutritional status and risk of stunting in this population. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary diversity and the risk of stunting in young children in Indonesia. Materials & Methods: Literature searches were conducted on electronic databases such as PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Articles that meet the inclusion criteria will be analyzed narratively. Results: The findings demonstrate a significant inverse relationship between dietary diversity and the risk of stunting. Children with higher dietary diversity were found to have a lower likelihood of being stunted compared to those with lower dietary diversity. The results also suggest that dietary diversity can serve as a proxy indicator for nutrient adequacy in this context. Conclusions: Promoting increased dietary diversity among young children and their mothers emerges as a key strategy to address the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. Interventions focusing on improving access to and consumption of a diverse range of nutritious foods, such as nutrition education, food production diversification, and food distribution programs, are recommended to contribute to the reduction of stunting in the country.

Published: June 2024

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) poses a significant public health challenge, necessitating innovative preventive strategies. This prospective study investigates the impact of maternal oral health initiatives initiated during pregnancy and their sustained influence through the postnatal period on ECC prevention.
Methods: A cohort of 312 pregnant women was randomly assigned to intervention (n=156) and control (n=156) groups. The intervention included structured oral health education during pregnancy. Postnatally, maternal oral health knowledge and practices were assessed. ECC outcomes in infants were monitored for 12 months. SPSS 26.0 was used for analysing data.
Results: Maternal education during pregnancy resulted in a significant reduction in ECC incidence and severity among infants in the intervention group compared to controls. Sustained maternal oral health knowledge correlated positively with improved postnatal practices, including increased prevalence of breastfeeding, contributing to lower ECC rates.
Conclusion: Maternal oral health initiatives, spanning from pregnancy to the postnatal period, demonstrate a substantial impact on ECC prevention. Targeted education during pregnancy and continuous support postnatally significantly reduce ECC prevalence. These findings advocate for the integration of maternal oral health programs into routine prenatal care to optimize oral health outcomes for both mothers and infants.

Published: June 2024

Background – Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting millionsglobally, with symptoms including wheezing, chest tightness, and shortnessof breath. Regular physical activity can mitigate these symptoms; however,the effectiveness and safety of HIIT for asthmatics remain underexplored.This study addresses this gap by examining HIIT's impact on asthmaticindividuals, focusing on pulmonary function, FeNO levels (an inflammationmarker), and exercise tolerance.Materials and MethodsFourteen adult males, divided into asthmatic (n=7) and healthy control (n=7)groups, underwent a two-week HIIT protocol. Pulmonary function wasassessed using peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC), andforced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1/FVC ratio). FeNO wasmeasured with a portable device, and exercise tolerance was evaluatedthrough a progressive exercise test on a cycle ergometer to determine peakoxygen uptake (VO2peak), carbon dioxide output (VCO2peak), ventilation(VE), and time to exhaustion (TTE). Statistical analysis was performed usingANOVA with repeated measures.ResultsThe results indicated significant differences between groups in FeNO, VO2peak, TTE, and peak work rate (WR), with no significant changes inpulmonary function measures. Asthmatics showed a marked improvement inTTE and peak WR post-HIIT, with mean FeNO levels and pulmonaryfunction measures remaining unchanged from baseline. Specifically, postHIIT, asthmatics achieved higher VE, VCO2, TTE, and peak WR,demonstrating improved exercise tolerance and ventilation withoutexacerbating lung inflammation.ConclusionHIIT was well-tolerated by individuals with asthma, leading to significantimprovements in exercise tolerance and ventilation without negativelyimpacting pulmonary function or increasing lung inflammation. Thesefindings suggest HIIT as a safe and effective exercise modality for asthmatics,potentially aiding in better asthma management through enhanced physicalfitness and exercise capacity.
On Gods, Heroes and Men. A Comparison of Tolstoy and Vico's Philosophies of History
Authors: Crosa Marco
Published: June 2024

While proceeding toward the end of War and Peace a reader can find itself startling and struggling to understand what kind of work is actually dealing with. The fictional narration is not yet concluded when L. Tolstoy (1828–1910) starts to lose himself in philosophical discussions regarding the nature of history as a science. Suddenly words such as god, heroes and men start to fill the pages recalling in the mind the language of a philosopher with at his back a history of long oblivion, the Italian G. Vico (1668–1744). The common terminology is only the triggering point for approaching a possible comparison between two authors that are so distant for time, context, interests, life and styles. A deep reading of their works however reveals some points of contact especially in a critique of their contemporary historicism, in their common interests on history as an objective science, on the analyses of events recollection and invention of tradition, in their overlapping instances of heterogeneity of ends and their reference to divine providence. A specific and different investigation might be necessary in order to understand whether those concepts somehow traveled along about one century and half from one to the other or whether they are just floating ideas of historical discourse. Nevertheless, starting from their commonalities the paper offers a clue on their inevitable divergences and a possible development of some of their central concepts. Being Tolstoy a writer of the ungraspable and indeterminate, concepts related to complex thinking will emerge during the reading.
Política de aguas y planeamiento urbanístico
Authors: Bustillo Bolado Roberto O.
Published: June 2024

Tanto en Europa como en nuestro Estado, la política de aguas tiene por finalidad proteger el agua como recurso para, con ello, asegurar las necesidades humanas de suministro y el desempeño de su función en los ecosistemas naturales. Pero ninguna política pública se basta por sí misma para conseguir sus objetivos, pues es necesario articular jurídicamente su relación con otras políticas y otros sectores del ordenamiento jurídico. En este artículo se analizan las relaciones en España entre la política de aguas y el planeamiento urbanístico; en dichas relaciones (aunque presididas por el principio de coordinación y el respeto a los ámbitos competenciales de todos los niveles de poder territorial del Estado), el principio constitucional de sostenibilidad, la política de aguas de la UE y la puesta en valor del urbanismo ecosistémico inclinan doctrinal y jurisprudencialmente el punto de equilibrio hacia la prevalencia (con matices y límites competenciales) de los instrumentos jurídicos en los que se plasma la política de aguas.
Criminal Acts Against the Judicial Process (Contempt of Court) According to the New Criminal Code about the Right to Immunity of Advocates in Court
Authors: Andriani Agustini
Published: June 2024

The birth of the new Criminal Code brought nuances of renewal in the world of justice in Indonesia. However, it also caused upheaval and differences of opinion regarding regulating several aspects of criminal law, including regulating Criminal Acts Against the Judicial Process (Contempt of Court). The regulation of Contempt of Court actions in the new Criminal Code raises pros and cons in society, including advocates who often intersect with the judicial world.  The existence of several articles regulating multi-interpretive contempt of court actions is considered to threaten the existence of the Advocate's Right to Immunity in Court. This study aims to analyze the regulation of the Contempt of Court criminal acts regarding the right to immunity of advocates in Court. The research method used is normative legal research using an analytical descriptive approach. This study found that the articles of Contempt of Court in the new Criminal Code, which are multi-interpretive, can limit the space for advocates to express opinions and defend themselves before the court. If these articles are not interpreted properly and correctly, they can become a medium for criminalization by specific individuals against advocates in court.
Administrative Sanctions Against BPJS Kesehatan Independent Membership Reviewed from a Human Rights Perspective
Authors: Erawati Lusy
Published: June 2024

Health services, obtaining social security, and public services are human rights of all Indonesian people, and statutory regulations protect their implementation. Membership in BPJS Health is mandatory for Indonesian people. The government will give administrative sanctions through written warnings and fines and not receive certain public services to independent participants if they do not participate in the BPJS Health program. These sanctions cause certain problems because getting public services is a constitutional right of society and a very important need in society's activities to develop itself. The research method used in this research is normative juridical with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the analysis and discussion show that the government is responsible for providing quality health and public services to the community. Administrative sanctions for independent participants for not registering as BPJS Health members are not in line with human rights.
On a Recent Attempt to Derive Positive Duties from Kant’s Formula of Universal Law
Authors: Kahn Samuel J. M.
Published: June 2024

According to the positive duties objection, it is not possible to derive positive duties from Kant’s Formula of Universal Law (FUL). However, in his recent “Deriving Positive Duties from Kant’s Formula of Universal Law”, Guus Duindam tries to answer this objection. More specifically, Duindam tries to show how both a duty of benevolence and a duty of self-perfection can be derived from the FUL. I critically examine Duindam’s arguments. I maintain that Duindam’s argument for the positive duty of benevolence is ambiguous and that this ambiguity exposes him to a fatal dilemma: on one horn, Duindam faces the same objection that he concedes to be effective against other attempts to answer the positive duties objection; on the other horn, the procedure he recommends cannot be based on the FUL (because it does not evaluate actions on the basis of their corresponding maxims). In addition, I maintain that Duindam’s benevolence argument rests on a procedure that is, in general, intractable and, in this particular case, foredoomed (because it can be shown that there are no positive duties of the kind he tries to derive). From there, I turn to Duindam’s argument for the positive duty of self-perfection. I explain that Duindam’s derivation of the duty of self-perfection, even if successful, does not answer the positive duties objection. This is because Duindam never appeals to the FUL in his derivation of the duty of self-perfection (the derivation is based, rather, on instrumental reasoning from the second-order end to accomplish our first-order ends). I elaborate on this by comparing and contrasting Duindam’s argument with Oliver Sensen’s interpretation of how to apply the FUL in the latter’s recent “Universal Law and Poverty Relief”.
WATER USE RIGHTS IN THE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES OF PRUSSIAN CONDITIONAL LANDOWNERS IN THE 13—14th CENTURIES

Local conditional landholding, which bolstered the rule of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, involved the utilisation of land parcels with diverse landscape characteristics, spanning from well-cultivated arable lands to less fertile areas covered with woods and shrubs. To ensure the stable existence of households, the Prussians were granted rights to fish and build watermills on their plots, along with cultivating the land. These rights, explored in this study within the chronological framework of 1242—1370, were universally applicable. A total of 308 persons of different property status, duties and juridical status enjoyed these rights. Most of them, 213 individuals, were lieges obligated to serve in the military, pay taxes or do both. Another 95 persons were lokatoren required to organise settlements on the plots granted by the Order or the Church. The fishing right was regulated by permitting the use of tools (hooks, gigs, fishing rods, waders and nets, except the seine, termed collectively ‘small gears’), sometimes accompanied by leave to build a barrage across the river. The right to build a watermill applied to erecting a one- or two-wheeled structure, typically encompassed by a plot of land measuring 0.5 to 2 huffen and subject to taxation ranging from two to three marks.
PEASANT HORSE BREEDING IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19th — EARLY 20th CENTURY: THE HISTORIOGRAPHICAL ASPECT
Authors:   St. Petersburg State Agrarian University, Melnikova Darya A.
Published: June 2024

This study is an attempt at a historiographical analysis of research works into the history of peasant horse breeding in the Russian Empire in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. The work delineates historiographical periods, identifies the focal points covered in the literature and outlines avenues for future exploration. Monographs, dissertations and research articles reporting findings on peasant horse breeding served as sources of the study. Pre-Soviet, Soviet and modern historiographical periods are distinguished. Although the first works on the issue appeared in the pre-Soviet period, most were opinion pieces. In the Soviet period, the Marxist-Leninist ideology prompted historians to delve into the peasant economy. Yet, horse breeding by peasant farms was considered only in passing in works whose geographical scope extended to the entire territory of European Russia or groups of several regions. Modern historiography of the issue features studies emphasising the regional features of peasant horse breeding in provinces of the Russian Empire in the s period. However, the state of the peasant horse breeding economy in many provinces of Russia has received little scholarly attention in the country, alongside comparative analysis of peasant horse breeding across regions or exploration of how central departments, zemstvos and public organisations contributed to the modernisation of the industry.
New AkademieNL rule: No disinformation

In the run up to the European elections, I received a moderation report for a post that contained misleading polling information on the Mastodon server I am responsible for. As a result, AkademieNL now has a new server rule, as formulated above. This blog post dives a bit into the need for this rule and how I came to it. The reported post contained misleading election information.
Multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of suitability the location intended for construction the solar power plants on the area of a mining waste dump

By analyzing the world's best practices, the mining waste dumps can be turned into suitable land for location the renewable and clean energy power plants. There are several advantages that characterize these locations: they are characterized by the environmental conditions that are not acceptable for commercial or residential development. Generally, they are located near the existing roads and energy transmission or distribution infrastructure. They can be adequately zoned for renewable energy sources, provide the opportunity for employment in the urban communities and to promote cleaner and more cost-effective energy technologies, reduce the impact of energy systems on the environment (e.g. reduce the emission of harmful gases). As the solar power plants are usually built on large areas, which can lead to the changes in geological and geotechnical conditions along the project site, it is extremely important to design the appropriate geotechnical investigations to reduce or limit the geological uncertainty and determine the suitability of site for construction. In these cases, the geotechnical studies are very complex, striving for a multidisciplinary approach in analyzing the site in question for construction a solar power plant, respecting the current legislation , regulations, norms and standards.
