Published: December 2024

Introduction: This article discusses the position of the Constitutional Court (MK) in Indonesia in the context of the attempts to weaken it and its impact on law and democracy.Purposes of the Research: This research identifies several factors that contribute to the Constitutional Court's challenges, such as political interference, corruption, and legislation that harms the institution's independenceMethods of the Research: Using literature methods, this research analyzes various secondary sources, including books, academic articles, and official reports relating to constitutional and judicial issuesResults of the Research: Weakening of the Constitutional Court (MK) can be divided into two categories: external and internal. External factors include the lack of strengthening authority in the Constitutional Court Law, political efforts in appointing judges, and the removal of judges by the DPR without legal basis. Meanwhile, internal factors come from ethical violations of judges affiliated with politics and inconsistencies in decisions. Strengthening the Constitutional Court institution is needed through a transparent judge selection process and supervision from the Judicial Commission, concluding that efforts to strengthen the Constitutional Court are very important in maintaining justice and democracy in Indonesia. Recommendations are proposed to increase the independence and accountability of the Constitutional Court, including the need for structural reform and strengthening supervisory mechanisms. Thus, this research contributes to understanding the importance of the role of the Constitutional Court in a healthy legal system and democracy.
From early methods for DNA diagnostics to genomes and epigenomes at high resolution during four decades – a personal perspective
Authors: Syvänen Ann-Christine
Published: December 2024

In the 1980s, my research career begun with microbial DNA diagnostics at Orion Pharmaceutica in Helsinki, Finland, where I was part of an innovative team that developed novel methods based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the biotin–avidin interaction. One of our key achievements during this time was the invention of the solid-phase minisequencing method for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the 1990s, I shifted focus to human genetics, investigating mutations of the ‘Finnish disease heritage’. During this period, I also developed quantitative methods using PCR and minisequencing of mitochondrial mutations and for forensic analyses. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, microarray-based SNP genotyping became a major topic for my research, first in Helsinki and later with my research group at Uppsala University in Sweden. By the mid-2000s, I began collaborating with leading clinicians on genetics of autoimmune disease, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus and later worked on the classification and clinical outcome of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, when large-scale genomics and epigenomics emerged. These collaborations, which focused on integrating genomics into clinical practice, lasted almost two decades until I retired from research in 2022. In parallel with my research activities, I led the SNP/DNA Technology Platform in the Wallenberg Consortium North program from 2001 to 2006. I continued as Director of the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform, which expanded rapidly during the 2010s, and became part of Science for Life Laboratory in 2013. Today (in 2024), the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform is one of the largest units of the Swedish National Genomics Infrastructure hosted by SciLifeLab. The present article provides a personal perspective on nearly four decades of research, highlighting projects and methods I found particularly exciting or important.
Effect Of Yogic Practices On Spiritual Intelligence Of Prospective Teachers
Authors: Sharma Sunil , Samita
Published: December 2024

Background: Spiritual intelligence (SI) refers to the ability to access higher meanings,  values, and purposes in life, influencing personal development and professional  effectiveness. In the context of education, SI is vital for prospective teachers, as it enhances  emotional regulation, self-awareness, and a deep connection to teaching practices.  Previous studies suggest that yogic practices can contribute to the development of SI by  promoting self-reflection, mindfulness, and emotional balance. This study investigates  the impact of a structured yoga intervention on the spiritual intelligence of prospective  teachers. Aim: The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of an eight-week structured  yoga intervention on the spiritual intelligence of prospective teachers at the Government  College of Education, Chandigarh. Materials & Methods: A total of 60 prospective teachers were randomly assigned to  either the experimental (n = 30) or control (n = 30) group. The experimental group  participated in an eight-week yoga intervention, while the control group received no  intervention. Spiritual intelligence was measured using the Spiritual Intelligence Scale  developed by Dr. Dhar S. and Dr. Dhar U. (2010) at two points: before (pre-test) and after  (post-test) the intervention. Discussion and Conclusion: The study concludes that Yogic practices significantly  enhance spiritual intelligence among prospective teachers. These findings support the  integration of Yoga into teacher education programs to foster personal growth and  improve emotional and spiritual development. Future research could explore the long term effects of such interventions and their impact on teaching efficacy and student  outcomes.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Ayurvedic therapies in managing  chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a 46-year-old female patient with stage five CKD.  The patient presented with polyarthralgia for three years and acute worsening of CKD over two months, along with symptoms of joint discomfort, bilateral pedal edema,  constipation, facial swelling, dyspnea on exertion, and disrupted sleep. Despite being  advised to undergo dialysis by her nephrologist, she opted for Ayurvedic treatment,  including Panchakarma therapies, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and Ayurvedic  medicines. Significant improvements were observed in clinical symptoms such as  reduced edema, relief from joint pain and constipation, improved sleep, and reduced  dyspnea, alongside better biochemical markers. These findings suggest that Ayurvedic  therapies may effectively manage CKD and improve patient outcomes. However,  further research is needed to substantiate these results and explore the potential of  Ayurvedic treatments as an alternative or complementary approach to conventional  CKD management.
Advantages of Nasal Drug Delivery System
Authors: Mr. Sunil Uttam Sakhare  , Mr. Vishal Singh Solanki
Published: December 2024

The nasal drug delivery system has received a lot of interest as a non-invasive and effective way to provide medications. Its distinct benefits include quick absorption due to the nasal mucosa's extensive vascularization, bypassing first-pass metabolism, and increased bioavailability when compared to oral administration. This approach is especially useful for administering medications that have little gastrointestinal stability or are destroyed by hepatic enzymes. The nasal route offers an alternative to systemic medication administration, particularly for individuals who have difficulties swallowing pills or injections.
Furthermore, the nasal cavity's closeness to the brain makes it an appealing alternative for treating central nervous system problems, as medications can traverse the blood-brain barrier via the olfactory and trigeminal pathways. Nasal administration is also simple, patient-friendly, and inexpensive, with minimum pain. Advances in formulation technology, such as nanoparticles and mucoadhesive compounds, have improved medication retention and effectiveness. Despite its potential, issues including mucosal irritation and low medication volume must be addressed. Overall, the nasal medication delivery system is a potential tool for increasing treatment results and patient compliance.

Os “hooligans” brasileiros e algumas práticas antidemocráticas atuais
Authors: Oliveira Wagner Vinícius de
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa algumas das práticas antidemocráticas brasileiras contemporâneas notadamente no espaço temporal de 2018 até 2022. Tem-se por objetivo central diagnosticar um dos principais equívocos que ainda ressoa no imaginário social brasileiro: que nesse período o ocupante temporário do Executivo federal jogava dentro das “quatro linhas da constituição”. Para compreender essa fábula desenvolvem-se (i) a teoria da ignorância racional (Brennan, 2016), que fornece as bases teóricas para as análises; (ii) o argumento de que o neoliberalismo econômico possui uma faceta incompatível com o Estado democrático de direito, embora apresente um “verniz democrático”; (iii) um exemplo concreto sobre os limites da democracia no enfrentamento das práticas antidemocráticas no inquérito n. 4.781/DF, ainda em tramitação no Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Para tanto, utiliza-se a pesquisa teórica documental conjugada com a técnica de revisão sistemática de literatura para fundamentar a absoluta incompatibilidade entre certas ideias e práticas com o Estado democrático de direito. Um dos resultados encontrados pelo artigo permite afirmar que o neoliberalismo econômico possui parcela significativa de responsabilidade sobre as práticas antidemocráticas jogadas dentro das “quatro linhas da constituição”. Em conclusão, sustenta-se que o mencionado inquérito oferece respostas institucionais necessárias, porém, insuficientes para superar essa fábula que ainda paira no tempo presente.

Sobre a possibilidade de uma interpretação representacionalista da epistemologia tomista
Authors: Lima Rodrigo , Costa Marcos
Published: December 2024

A complexa natureza da epistemologia tomasiana se deve em parte ao fato dela ser o ponto de convergência de teses de múltiplos segmentos. Tradicionalmente sua teoria é vista como sendo realista, ou seja, o mundo e o intelecto mantém entre si uma relação direta. Assim, aqueles que defendem tal relação são comumente designados como realistas. Duas teses subjazem a sua teoria; 1) a experiência sensível do sujeito cognoscente diz respeito à objetos singulares que lhe são externos; 2) o intelecto conhece as coisas de modo imaterial e universal, ou seja, transcendendo àquelas instâncias singulares, o ato cognitivo visa a qüididade dos objetos. Neste contexto é legítimo perguntar como os objetos da percepção, experienciados enquanto particulares e concretos sejam dados ao intelecto de modo imaterial e universal? O que faz o conteúdo mental corresponder à coisa que ele pretende conhecer? As respostas oferecidas dividiram os intérpretes em duas correntes, os realistas diretos e os representacionalistas. Enquanto os realistas defendem uma relação diádica na qual o pensamento alcança o seu objeto diretamente, os representacionalistas, defendendo haver uma relação triádica, acreditam que o intelecto conhece a coisa por meio de um terceiro item mental (imagem, semelhança, representação). Assim, nosso objetivo consistirá em analisar brevemente os argumentos utilizados pelos seus respectivos defensores, e defender a possibilidade de uma interpretação representacionalista.

Published: December 2024

Ageing has been considered as an important policy issue worldwide because of the large proportion of elderly people. Despite efforts to improve access to healthcare and social services, the elderly in Tanzania still face challenges such as limited access to quality healthcare. Despite efforts to improve access to healthcare and social services, little is known on the extent to which elderly people have been accessing health services for enhancing social protection in Tanzania. The effectiveness of NHIF in promoting social protection among elderly individuals in Tanzania, especially in Kinondoni, remains underexplored. This study assessed the effects of the NHIF on the wellbeing of elderly populations in Tanzania, focusing on the Kinondoni Municipal Council. The study population for this research comprised elderly individuals residing in selected wards in Kinondoni Municipal Council. A total sample size of 394 elderly people was purposively sampled from the study district. Data were collected using questionnaires, in-depth interviews, document reviews, and focus group discussions. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse quantitative data. Conversely, content analysis was used to analyse qualitative data from interviews and FGDs. The study revealed that about 73% of the elderly respondents in Kinondoni Municipal Council reported minimal improvement in their overall well-being since enrolling in the NHIF, while 27% noted positive changes, with only 23% reporting health improvements. However, qualitative interviews highlighted significant enhancements in healthcare access and psychosocial benefits, underscoring NHIF's role as a critical social safety net despite the quantitative findings. These results demonstrate the impact of NHIF on the wellbeing and health of the elderly in Kinondoni. The study recommends targeted awareness campaigns, streamlined NHIF enrolment, financial assistance, community involvement, robust monitoring systems, and health literacy programs to improve access for elderly people under the NHIF.

Published: December 2024

The study addressed the challenge of improving human resource performance within Local Government Authorities (LGAs), particularly in Kinondoni Municipality, where inefficiencies and limited technological integration have hindered effective governance and service delivery. Recognizing the potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to transform organizational processes, the study explored its contributions to human resource performance, focusing on the policy and legal framework governing ICT use, its influence on efficiency and effectiveness, and the challenges of adoption. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which emphasizes the role of perceived ease of use and usefulness in technology adoption, the study targeted employees and stakeholders, including human resource officers, IT personnel, administrative staff, and community leaders. Using a sample of 100 respondents selected through purposive and stratified random sampling, data were collected through interviews and questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistics and thematic analysis for qualitative insights. Findings showed that ICT policies are well-established (mean = 4.2, SD = 0.75) and that ICT improves efficiency, accessibility, and data integrity, with record-keeping identified as a significant benefit (40%). Offices were well-equipped with internet-connected computers (mean = 4.3, SD = 0.75), though Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) adoption was moderate (mean = 3.9, SD = 0.85), reflecting limited utilization. Key challenges included inadequate training and insufficient integration of ICT into human resource practices. Despite these obstacles, ICT was found to significantly enhance human resource performance, supporting governance and service delivery. The study recommended increased investments in infrastructure, continuous training, implementation of e-governance initiatives, and the establishment of impact evaluation frameworks to maximize ICT’s potential.

Abstract. For several types of diseases, such as meningitis or oral cancers, the simultaneous diagnosis and measurement of the tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) immune-modulating biomarkers, with respect to both quality and quantity, are important. For example, although meningitis is generally caused by bacteria or viruses, the differences between viral and bacterial structures can be problematic for medical doctors to distinguish, as laboratory data assay techniques for the two are often similar and can overlap; moreover, in such cases, distinguishing between virial and bacterial structures is especially problematic following the use of antibiotics prior to cerebrospinal fluid testing. In this work, we simultaneously evaluated the precision of both TNF-α and IL-1β for the diagnosis of disease. In this research area, twin electrochemical biosensors have been designed as strong tools for the wide-spectrum assessment of biomarkers, thereby aiding in the screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of pathologies and treatment performance. In this research, we present a sensor platform model that can enable one to detect biomarkers quickly; specifically, this platform can be used to detect TNF-α and IL-1β in saliva. A two-peptide recognition element was created and designed using the phage display technique. This element selectively binds TNF-α and IL-1β to an electronics-based metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor/electrolyte-gated transistor (MOSFET/GT) bio-detector device and label-free biosensor, allowing for the rapid, simultaneous detection of both biomarkers. These bio-affinity recognition methods have been successfully implemented to realize the experimental twin-model sensor, based on electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) and semiconductor field-effect transistor (ZnO-SFET) biosensors, to test for these two disease biomarkers, both individually and simultaneously, with high performance. In summary, we developed a sensor platform that can be used for rapid oral cancer signature analysis of biomarkers in multiple bio-fluids of saliva. This system works by arraying metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), with each targeting a biorecognition element (BRE) specific to one of these two important biomarkers. This system can also be extended upon to aid in a wide variety of cancer research applications.

Mediterranean Mobilities Between Migrations and Colonialism
Authors: Montalbano Gabriele
Published: December 2024

This edited volume gathers contributions by young scholars interested in migratory flows and minorities in the southern and eastern Mediterranean between the 19th and 20th centuries. Without claiming to be exhaustive, it aims to deepen our understanding of the variations of the colonial hierarchy, studying the spaces of contact between the populations involved in the Mediterranean colonial system. Political refugees, marginalised people and foreigners connected cities like Istanbul, Alexandria, Tunis and Melilla. These connections shaped regional networks beyond national, colonial and imperial borders, too often considered self-sufficient categories of analysis. A look at mobility in the imperial Mediterranean sheds light on the connection between migration and colonialism.
La metonimia en la conceptualización de algunas partes del cuerpo externas en español: los casos de cara, cabeza, boca y mano
Authors: Soto Nieto Almudena , Morras Cortés Javier
Published: December 2024

El artículo contiene un estudio basado en corpus de algunas de las principales conceptualizaciones de las partes del cuerpo externas cara, cabeza, boca y mano, y su manifestación lingüística en español. El objetivo es, por un lado, exponer algunos de los diferentes conceptos asociados a las palabras correspondientes a ellas y, por otro, describir el importante papel que realiza la metonimia conceptual en su motivación. En la descripción de las metonimias se han aplicado tres criterios diferentes: jerarquización, relación entre metonimia y metáfora, y relación con otras metonimias (Barcelona, 2011; Blanco-Carrión et al., 2018). Los dos últimos permiten diferenciar procesos en los que la metonimia interviene de manera exclusiva o en interacciones con otras proyecciones metonímicas (cadenas metonímicas) y/o metafóricas. Los resultados revelan los dominios meta hacia los que estas partes corporales se proyectan, entre los que destacan los relacionados con la funcionalidad y la actividad de estas.
El viaje del simbolismo provinciano: de las novelas a las películas provincianas
Authors: Viñuales Sánchez Antonio
Published: December 2024

El simbolismo provinciano ha sido reconocido exclusivamente por los estudiosos en su etapa de eclosión decimonónica al presentarse como novela de perfil urbano. Está tras célebres obras de Balzac, Flaubert, Galdós y Clarín, entre otros. La posterior evolución de la novela provinciana con su expansión hacia el espacio rural y el trasvase de todas sus variantes al ámbito cinematográfico son fenómenos menos estudiados. Nos proponemos iluminar el último de estos capítulos en el que lo provinciano se ofrece como género cinematográfico buceando primero en las raíces culturales de su simbolismo, sentando las bases de su género y ejemplificando sus ramificaciones fílmicas mediante el análisis de películas del ámbito español que, mayoritariamente, adaptan novelas provincianas.
La disputa por el futuro: el caso de la ciudad de Madrid
Authors: Gómez de Póo Antonio
Published: December 2024

Desde la consideración del giro espacial en ciencias sociales, se pretende persuadir mediante un estudio de caso (intervención urbanística en la ciudad de Madrid) de la conveniencia de incorporar una perspectiva espacial a los estudios sociales sobre el tiempo, en nuestro caso centrados en los imaginarios de futuro. Así, se someten a análisis visiones enfrentadas de un futuro en disputa. En la estela de los efectos de homología, se busca identificar la ocupación de determinadas posiciones sociales (así como determinados espacios físicos) con la actitud a favor o en contra de la intervención en cuestión. Para ello, llevamos a cabo entrevistas con 5 perfiles a favor y otros 5 en contra de la intervención, tratando de explicar cómo y por qué se oponen sus criterios. A partir de las entrevistas, se proponen 4 tipos ideales de agentes sociales por actitud ante el futuro, distribuidos a su vez a modo de tipos polares.
Se declare no ser obligada: negociación y agencia de las mujeres casadas en la emigración americana, siglo XVI
Authors: Almorza Hidalgo Amelia
Published: December 2024

Después de veinte años participando en distintas campañas de conquista en Perú y tras conseguir una encomienda en Quito, en 1560 Diego de Arcos envió a llamar a su mujer, Catalina de Palma, que había permanecido en Sevilla. Sin embargo, su esposa se negó a viajar. Esta situación puso en riesgo la posesión de la encomienda, por lo que el marido presionó a Catalina de Palma aprovechando la normativa sobre vida maridable que obligaba a la reunificación matrimonial, hasta el extremo de llegar a su encarcelamiento. Las situaciones de abandono y separación matrimonial eran frecuentes en el contexto de la emigración transatlántica del siglo XVI. Este caso de estudio permite analizar el proceso de negociación que se establecía entre los matrimonios separados por la emigración, y la evaluación de los riesgos y beneficios que sopesaban las mujeres que decidían (o no) viajar. Así, es posible poner el foco en el activo papel que ejercieron las mujeres en la toma de decisión en el contexto de la emigración transatlántica, lo que explica en parte la alta presencia de españolas en la colonización americana. Por último, esta investigación permite vislumbrar la reconfiguración de las relaciones intrafamiliares como consecuencia de la emigración transatlántica.
