On the Origins of Administrative and Judicial Discretion in Russian Administrative and Jurisdictional Activities
Authors: Schepalov S. V.
Published: September 2023

The article continues the discussion organized by the journal with the participation of professors Yuri P. Solovey and Petr P. Serkov on the problem of administrative discretion. The Author proposes to look at the difference between the internal content of administrative discretion and judicial discretion, which is evolutionarily incorporated in the proceedings on administrative offenses. The reader is invited to the conclusion that administrative responsibility has historically been imposed by government bodies for disobedience to the current management order. The authorized body acts on behalf of the public authority, and the responsibility imposed by it means the responsibility of a person to the government for disobedience to its internal policy. In Russia, it arose in the 1920s, when V. I. Lenin considered the people's courts weak in resolving issues of the application of public law penalties to persons who do not comply with the norms established by the Soviet government. The judicial order arose and evolved as a people's revision of the public authorities' initiative for administrative prosecution. Such a reform of administrative responsibility was carried out after the death of I.V. Stalin N. S. Khrushchev, who, trying to restore the lost trust of society in the authorities, believed that administratively punishable acts should cause condemnation not only of the authorities, but also of society. Some categories of cases of administrative offenses were assigned to the competence of the people's court. The court acts on behalf not of the public authority, but of the country as a whole. When imposing a punishment, the court declares the person guilty before the country not of an anti-government, but of an anti-social act. Administrative responsibility is evolutionarily connected with the discretion of the jurisdictional body. Its content is various social rules and values, including principles, as well as political considerations. Administrative discretion is dominated by managerial values: general prevention, ensuring public order, controllability of the masses, tax collection, implementation of state policy, etc. Judicial discretion, being realized on behalf of the country, reproduces the social norms and values of Russian society as a whole. Both legislative norms and managerial values are preserved, but become part of the general range of social norms and values, which is dominated by the universal principles of justice, reasonableness, proportionality and an adequate balance of private and public interests.
The Legal Concept of “Source of Increased Danger”
Authors: Algazin I. I. , Koryuchina I. A.
Published: September 2023

The work explores the concept of “source of increased danger”, the approaches to determining which, in the doctrine of civil law, are far from unambiguous. The article summarizes the existing approaches to the definition of the concept of “source of increased danger”. The reasons for the need to develop a definition of the concept under study and fix it at the legislative level are indicated. One of these reasons is the rapid complication of technologies, the introduction of innovations in all spheres of society. Despite the centuries-old discussion of civilist scientists, there is still no established, more or less unambiguous position on this issue. Due to the fact that there are no clear, specific explanations in the acts of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, we believe that changes in the law are long overdue due to the ambiguity of individual terms (namely, the guilt of the victim, the owner of a source of increased danger, activities that pose an increased danger to others) used in Article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The need to consolidate the concept of “source of increased danger” is thought by us as the most important goal of unifying terminology in all branches of Russian legislation. We proceed from subjective – objective conditioning of processes and phenomena, illustrating their interconnectedness due to forced close interaction. The Authors argue the need to adopt a separate federal law establishing the specifics of compensation for harm by activities that pose an increased danger to others. The development of new technologies, the activities of third parties, the behavior of the victim, the quality and characteristics of the causer of harm, conditions and conditions are the prerequisites for the situation itself as a source of increased danger. The generalization of judicial practice on the example of analyzing a specific case is an indicative example of the culprit of the incident avoiding responsibility and injustice of individual court decisions based on judicial discretion. Determining ways to improve the provisions of Article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in our opinion, will ensure uniformity of judicial interpretation and, as a result, optimization of law enforcement in the field under consideration. However, our work outlines the common features of research for a number of new scientific problems that require further research work.
Waste Pickers Are Part of the Solution to Solid Waste Management in Senegal
Authors:   WIEGO, Abizaid Olga , Diop Maguette , Soumaré Adama , Wilson Emilie ,   Institute of Development Studies
Published: September 2023

Waste pickers from the Bokk Diom organisation, working at Dakar’s Mbeubeuss landfill – in Senegal’s capital city –, continued to provide essential waste management services throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing to public health, reducing environmental harm, and mitigating greenhouse gases. As with many, their incomes were impacted by the pandemic, especially those of women. However, the greatest threat to their incomes and livelihoods is the transformation of the waste management system, a process which they are excluded from. Drawing on research carried out with Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) during the pandemic, Bokk Diom was able to advocate on behalf of waste pickers and obtain pledges of inclusion in solid waste management (SWM) from national authorities. Bokk Diom and WIEGO are continuing in their efforts to attain a just transition for waste pickers.

The aim of this research is to explain how the sustainabiliy of UNESCO Creative City Network predicate for Pekalongan City based on the actors involved and success indicators for Pekalongan City in order to mention the barriers appeared that associated with the continuity of the UCCN This research used Qualitative approach and supported by simple Quantitative method by collecting data technique using depth interviews, observations, document studies and questionnaire with 100 respondents. The research result shows that the sustainability of creative city in Pekalongan are in the state of suspended animation and still being ruled out because there are other things to be considered more important by Pekalongan Government. Tools and infrastucture are not available such as there is no creative room and abandoned technopark construction. Besides, the integrity of actor has not been tied together well because the differences of opinion and mindset. Pekalongan Creative City Forum (PCCF) has not been able to take the role maximally so thereby appeared the barriers along with the sustainability of the UCCN. To do so requires efforts to give socializations and knowledge transfer to the society, in addition to create tools and infrastucture to support the creative city especially in building a place where involved actors can gather together.
Problematika Legislasi dalam Sistem Pemerintahan Presidensial Multipartai
Authors: Ach. Faidi
Published: September 2023

This research raises the issue of legislation in the multi-party presidential government system in Indonesia after the amendment to the 1945 Constitution. In order to make this research more focused, the researcher proposes two main questions, namely; How exactly are the legislative problems that occur in a multi-party presidential government system? Likewise, how are the efforts to resolve the legislative problems in a multi-party presidential government system?. To answer these two problems, the researcher uses several approaches in this normative research. Among these approaches are the statutory approach, the conceptual approach, the historical approach and the case approach. Based on the results of the discussion in this study, the researcher concludes two main conclusions related to the problematics of legislation in the multi-party presidential government system in Indonesia after the amendments to the 1945 Constitution. namely, the weakening of the president's power in terms of legislation due to the increasing influence of the DPR's power in the legislative process, even though the president has double role. Furthermore, the legislative problem that occurs in the multi-party presidential system of government in post-amendment Indonesia is the waning spirit of upholding the principle of checks and balances in the formation of legislation.
Mekanisme Pemakzulan Presiden Sebelum Dan Sesudah Terbentuknya Mahkamah Konstitusi Di Indonesia
Authors: Rohmah Elva Imeldatur , Dewi Kartika Sari
Published: September 2023

Indonesia is a republic in which the presence of a president is very crucial. From nomination until he takes office, a President must have characteristics and actions that reflect the contents of the law. If a President during his tenure is proven to have violated the provisions of the law, then the President can be impeached in various ways that have been regulated in the law. In the history of the Indonesian state administration, there have been impeachment of the President which was carried out without proof through the Constitutional Court. Because at that time the Constitutional Court had not yet been formed. Impeachment carried out on the basis of political judgment alone. In contrast, after the Constitutional Court was formed, the indictment against the President must first be proven in the Constitutional Court. This research is normative legal research, using a statute approach and a historical approach. The research sources come from primary legal materials consisting of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law no. 24 of 2003 concerning the Constitutional Court. Secondary legal materials consist of books, journals, articles related to the research theme. The results showed that there were differences in the ratio legis used in impeaching the President before and after the establishment of the Constitutional Court. Before the Constitutional Court was formed, the legislative ratio used was based on Article 4 of the Decree of the MPR RI No. III/MPR/1978. Meanwhile, after the Constitutional Court was formed, the ratio legis used was Article 7A of the 1945 Constitution. The mechanism for impeachment was different between before and after the Constitutional Court was formed. Impeachment before the Constitutional Court was formed was based solely on political judgments. However, after the Constitutional Court was formed, impeachment was not only based on political judgment factors, but had to be judicially tested by the Constitutional Court.
Law Enforcement Revitalization In Indonesia
Authors: Iswandi
Published: September 2023

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to observe and see the law enforcement process and its implications for the state. Law enforcement has shown a negative trend towards indexation of democracy, which is getting worse because law enforcement is not right on target and enforcement does not consider the ethics of law enforcement. This research is normative research. This study only departs from the literature in accordance with the research as a source of information. The results of this study are that law enforcement that its image towards the community does not show the ethics of law enforcement and considers the position of Human Rights (HAM) so that the law enforcement process has implications for non-compliance with applicable norms and codes of ethics.

Countering Far-Right Anti-Government Extremism in the United States
Authors: Robinson Kaitlyn , Malone Iris , Crenshaw Martha
Published: September 2023

The far-right anti-government extremist movement poses a significant threat in the United States. The January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol illustrates the capacity of this movement to plan and mount violent attacks against government targets and democratic institutions. In this article, we explore how the organisational and tactical characteristics of the far-right anti-government movement in the United States enable it to thrive despite the dangers it poses to the public. We argue that its deep-seated ideological roots, fluid organisational structure, and mix of violent and nonviolent tactics make the movement difficult for federal and state authorities to proscribe, prosecute, and ultimately eliminate. US policymakers need to develop an informed response that accounts for the fluid, decentralised, and public-facing nature of anti-government extremism, as well as the pervasive distrust of federal authority that it reflects. We suggest that this approach will likely differ from the modern counter-terrorism tools that were initially designed to combat terrorist threats emanating from abroad, such as those posed by Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. We ground our arguments in evidence from cases of anti-government extremist groups and followers active in the United States over the past three decades.
Breaking (with) the System: Exodus as Resistance?
Authors: van Buuren Jelle
Published: September 2023

Anti-government extremism is frequently characterised by its violent potential such as harassment and violence against politicians, government officials, experts, and journalists. Although understandable from the perspective of radicalisation and terrorism scholars, another tendency within the fluid anti-government movements is sometimes overlooked: ‘internal migration’, in which parallel enclaves are created in order to escape the perceived repressive order of the system. It signals attempts to build ‘free zones’ within society on the base of a discourse denying the legitimacy of the political order. In this article the author will assess whether or not exodus as a distinctive, usually nonviolent form of anti-government politics should be understood as relatively harmless or as the forerunners of more confrontational practices, such as deliberately undermining the liberal order by fuelling anti-system sentiments or preparing for resistance in a later stage, that in the long term could have security implications. This article will propose an initial, tentative analytical model to answer these questions, and then the Dutch political party Forum for Democracy will be used as a case to demonstrate the argument and explore the strengths and limitations of the proposed model.
Compréhension de la gestion de classe : Étude qualitative sur la professionnalisation des enseignants non-qualifiés du primaire à Madagascar
Authors: Raharijaona Onja Tiana
Published: September 2023

Cette étude porte sur la compréhension de la gestion de classe par les enseignants non-qualifiés, et ce, à l’égard de leur professionnalisation. Son contexte se situe au niveau de l’enseignement primaire à Madagascar. 16,9% des enseignants du primaire ont une qualification professionnelle initiale. D’après le discours scientifique, la gestion de classe constitue un aspect non compensable de la qualité de l’enseignement à côté de la connaissance de la matière. La majorité des recherches empiriques sur cette thématique sont issues des données provenant de pays développés et se concentrent sur les enseignants ayant une formation théorique avant d’entrer dans la pratique. De ce fait, cette étude qualitative se focalise sur les perceptions de la gestion de classe par les enseignants non-qualifiés, en rapport avec leur professionnalisation. Les données ont été collectées auprès d’un échantillon de 30 enseignants non-qualifiés du primaire en utilisant la méthode d’interview semi-structurée via une méthodologie qualitative. Suite à une analyse de contenus, trois types idéaux émergent de l’exploration du matériau de recherche à savoir la gestion de classe basée sur une autorité hiérarchique en vue d’une organisation stricte ; la gestion de classe basée sur les expériences de l’enseignant en vue d’une vie tranquille et la gestion de classe basée sur l’implication des élèves en vue d’un apprentissage. Ces résultats sont discutés à la lumière des théories de la qualité de l’éducation, du développement de la société et de la théologie protestante. Enfin, les réflexions sur les résultats empiriques obtenus engendrent une série de recommandations vis-à-vis de la recherche et de la pratique éducative.
Panorama, vantagens e desafios da orçamentação em BIM no cenário brasileiro
Authors: Albuquerque Larissa Polli da Costa de , Miceli Junior Giuseppe , Pellanda Paulo César
Published: September 2023

Este artigo se propõe a investigar os principais ganhos e dificuldades encontrados na adoção e uso do BIM (Building Information Modeling) como ferramenta de auxílio para o gerenciamento de custos de projetos nos escritórios brasileiros de arquitetura e engenharia. O estudo foi conduzido a partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, contemplando a análise de 34 artigos publicados no Brasil entre 2011 e 2021. Houve um crescimento no interesse por esse tema, tendo havido uma maior recorrência de publicações em anais de congresso do que em periódicos. O Estudo de Caso e o Design Science Research (DSR) foram os métodos de pesquisa mais adotados; e o software Revit®, a ferramenta mais empregada. Os principais ganhos elencados para a orçamentação em BIM foram a extração automática de quantitativos, a melhor visualização proporcionada pelo modelo virtual e a facilidade em testar hipóteses construtivas. Por outro lado, a dificuldade de definição de um nível de detalhamento e de qualidade do modelo adequados à elaboração do orçamento foi o obstáculo mais citado. No que concerne particularmente ao sistema referencial de custos SINAPI, foi identificada a necessidade de adaptações para melhor integrar este sistema com o BIM. A principal conclusão é que, caso sejam pré-estabelecidas as diretrizes de modelagens, o BIM pode contribuir significativamente para maior assertividade em processos de orçamentação.

Published: September 2023

Pesquisas evidenciam que está em curso um aquecimento global irreversível até o fim deste século. Tal elevação de temperaturas do planeta aumenta ainda mais a necessidade de resfriamento de ambientes internos em edifícios, onde deve se empregar tecnologias mais efetivas em termos de consumo de energia. Neste contexto, métodos de arrefecimentos passivos devem ser investigados. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade da aplicação de termossifões bifásicos como estratégia para resfriamento de ambientes internos. Para isso, por meio de um estudo experimental, foi utilizada uma célula-teste, integrada com uma serpentina de cobre que simulou a seção evaporadora de um termossifão. A temperatura da serpentina foi mantida prescrita e uniforme ao longo de seu comprimento por um banho de temperatura controlada. No geral, pôde-se observar que o dispositivo se mostrou capaz de extrair calor de forma passiva do ambiente, reduzindo significativamente a temperatura do ar interno. Grande parte do calor foi extraído na primeira hora e, em alguns casos, na primeira hora e meia de testes.  Contudo, a transferência do calor interno foi deficiente em situações em que a diferença de temperaturas entre a serpentina e a célula foi igual ou inferior a 7°C. A distribuição da temperatura do ar interno mostrou ser similar para todos os ensaios realizados, sendo mais alta nos quadrantes superiores da célula. Além disso, velocidade de estabilização das temperaturas das superfícies internas reduziu quando a temperatura da serpentina de cobre aumentou.
Poesia & filosofia na poesia de Orides Fontela
Authors: Alves Nathaly Felipe Ferreira
Published: September 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar relações entre poesia e filosofia na obra de Orides Fontela. Para tanto, refletimos sobre como a filosofia não é somente entrada temática nos poemas, mas, sobretudo, matéria em sua fatura composicional. É assim que apresentamos a noção de experimentum linguae poético oridiano, já que, devido ao caráter especulativo e criativo dos poemas, percebemos que a linguagem, ao investigar o mundo, experimenta a si mesma, em uma espécie de “poética fenomenológica”. Também pensamos como a ordem afetiva, da experiência sensível, relaciona-se à formulação das metáforas, algo que redefine a relação entre imagem poética e experiência de mundo.
An early intersemiotic translator of Milton in Brazil
Authors: Sá Luiz Fernando Ferreira , Andrade Miriam Piedade Mansur
Published: September 2023

This article provides the commented English translation of an ode (“To Milton”, composed of twelve stanzas) by the 18th-century Brazilian poet, Claudio Manuel da Costa. Our interpretation of the translated poem problematizes the fact that da Costa did not translate Milton’s works, but that he wrote an intersemiotic translation of Milton’s contributions to literature as a whole. “To Milton” concentrates and expands on themes related to Paradise Lost (hell and heaven, heavenly muses and earthly glory, civil wars and epic battles). Although there were no translations of Milton’s works into Brazilian Portuguese then, the ode illustrates the principles of intersemiotic translation, through which semantic expansions occur in the exercise of da Costa’s choices to invite Milton to participate in a nascent literary tradition; he approaches Milton as an author comparable to Camões and Torquato Tasso. Furthermore, we address the following questions: what does the commented translation reveal about Milton’s poetry that has not been as readily visible or legible? What was accomplished by bringing Milton into 18th-century Brazilian Portuguese?  How is Milton accommodated to 18th-century Brazil and how is this new environment, prospectively or actually, different for having Milton in it?
Agrarian conflict and split recognition: The middle way for recognition of the Mapur Bangka Tribe in Indonesia
Authors: Zulkarnain Iskandar , Cholillah Jamilah
Published: September 2023

Since the New Order regime, access to tin mines has been a disaster for the Mapur Tribe. The desire to live in prosperity from tin mining led to a prolonged structural agrarian conflict and problems of political recognition. This study aims to analyze agrarian conflicts and the recognition debates that surround them and analyze the visibility of discourses on the recognition that is adaptive to the interests of indigenous peoples. Through qualitative research with case studies, this study found that structural agrarian conflict gave rise to social rupture and acts of mutual exclusion between groups. The counter-movement can unite the group and continue the resistance. After the agrarian conflict, indigenous peoples were faced with debates about the legal product of recognition through sectoral laws which gave rise to different interpretations at the Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) level. This condition gave rise to the phenomenon of split recognition, due to the lack of political will to include the agenda for recognition of Indigenous Peoples (MHA) in regional planning policies. A comprehensive law with a general function is needed as a middle ground for the unification of arrangements regarding MHA.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of classmates andstudent-faculty interaction on the relationship between college students' academic self-efficacy andcollege adaptation. To this end, a survey was conducted targeting 188 students of G Universitylocated in G City. As for the analysis method, correlation analysis was first performed to find outthe correlation between the variables, and then the mediating effect between the variables wasinvestigated using a parallel multiple mediation model. According to the results of the study, first,academic self-efficacy was positively correlated with classmates, student-faculty interaction, andcollege adaptation. In other words, it was found that academic self-efficacy was related toclassmates, student-faculty interaction, and college adaptation. Second, academic self-efficacy notonly had a direct effect on college adaptation, but also had a mediating effect through classmatesand student-faculty interactions. This means that college students' academic self-efficacy directlyaffects college adaptation and at the same time indirectly affects college adaptation throughinteractions with classmates and faculty. In view of these results, it is suggested that developingclass strategies or educational programs that increase academic self-efficacy and strengtheninginteraction with classmates and students-faculty can help improve college adaptation.

The design and operation of post-settlement governance entities. A management contribution
Authors:   Massey University, Cribb Miriama Jordan , Mika Jason Paul ,   The University of Waikato
Published: September 2023

Post-settlement governance entities (PSGEs) are an outcome of the Treaty of Waitangi settlement process. Their role is to hold, manage and be responsible for the collective assets received on behalf of claimant groups, most often represented by iwi. However, many PSGEs serve wider purposes, including social, cultural, environmental and other iwi-defined purposes. This article seeks to answer the following research question: What factors influence the design and operation of PSGEs? Through analysing literature and data collected from the experiences of three PSGEs, we find that challenges PSGEs tend to encounter are not a result of their design. Instead, they are attributed to their operationalisation— that is, their management. We argue that there is more to their management than what is currently understood, and we seek here to contribute meaningfully to knowledge of the design and operation of PSGEs as contemporary forms of Māori organisation.
Whenua ki te whenua. Indigenous naming of the land and its people
Authors:   The University of Waikato, Rameka Lesley , Berryman Mere ,   The University of Waikato, Cruse Diana ,   The University of Waikato
Published: September 2023

This article reports the findings of the second stage of a three-year Marsden-funded research project entitled “Languaculture within Te Ao Māori: Learning from Infants, Whānau and Communities” and undertaken with Māori hapū in Aotearoa New Zealand. In the title of this article, we have used the phrase “whenua ki te whenua”, which refers to a Māori precolonial practice following childbirth of returning the whenua (here meaning “placenta”) to the whenua (here meaning “land”) through burial (Berryman et al., 2022). In this research project, we have found that the resurgence of this tikanga—making direct connections, whenua ki te whenua—is becoming increasingly common with the new generation of Māori babies. Both metaphorically and in practical terms, the whakapapa of the child to the land is also being honoured and maintained through the process of naming. The article begins with a brief overview of the first arrivals in Aotearoa and how settlement in these new lands established a process of reclaiming or developing new localised narratives and namings.
High-achieving Māori students' perceptions of their best and worst teachers
Authors:   The University of Auckland, Turner-Adams Hana , Rubie-Davies Christine M. ,   The University of Auckland, Webber Melinda ,   The University of Auckland
Published: September 2023

This qualitative study explored high-achieving Māori students’ perceptions of their best and worst secondary school teachers. Participants (N = 96) were Year 12 or 13 students at English-medium secondary schools in Aotearoa who had attained certificate endorsement at Level 1 or 2 in the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). Findings showed that Māori students’ best teachers had high expectations for their achievement. They spent class time teaching students and discussing their learning, whereas students’ worst teachers had low expectations and restricted their access to high grades in NCEA. A key finding from this study was that although positive teacher–student relationships were important, they needed to be accompanied by effective teaching practices. A teacher who had a positive relationship with Māori students but did not teach them well was not considered their “best” teacher.
Public Aspirations for a decolonised city. Food security and "re-storytelling"

In 2017, the Imagining Decolonised Cities (IDC) competition sought submissions for the public’s visions of a decolonised Porirua. The IDC competition was an opportunity for Ngāti Toa Rangatira to solicit utopic ideas for their city post-settlement. This article presents an analysis of the 40 entries, exploring how participants understand decolonisation enacted in an urban setting. We identified two overarching themes from the submissions that can be linked to wider theories of decolonisation, particularly Corntassel’s (2008) theory of sustainable self-determination. The first theme identified was food security, demonstrated through participant designs of community gardens, seafood harvesting stations, and larger food transportation systems. The second theme identified was “re-storytelling”, a centring of Māori identities and stories. While these efforts alone will not result in the decolonisation of Porirua, they represent tangible initiatives at the flax roots level that provide space for Māori to be Māori, and a point from which communities can drive larger decolonising initiatives.
Te Kupenga. A woven methodology for collecting, interpreting, and stor(y)ing Māori women’s knowledges
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Heke Deborah
Published: September 2023

This article explores the use of an intersecting methodology termed Te Kupenga as a philosophical approach to gathering, interpreting, and storing mātauranga wahine. The research aimed to understand the ways of being and doing of physically active wāhine Māori and relate them to characteristics of atua wāhine. A kupenga is a type of open weave net used for fishing or gathering food. In this research, it represents the weaving together of three approaches: Whakapapa, Mana Wahine theory, and physical activity. While each offers a unique way to view the world and your position in it, their intersections offer important shared qualities that purposefully shape the research, its philosophy, and its methods. As a type of interfacing methodology, Te Kupenga weaves together philosophies and methods—keeping what is needed and allowing what is not required to pass through the gaps in the weave.
Creating a hā habit: Utilising Māori innovations in breathwork
Authors:   Tiaki Consultants NZ, Waretini-Karena Rawiri , Wikeepa Julia ,   Hā Habit NZ
Published: September 2023

This article begins by identifying and defining a range of debilitating disorders— trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalised anxiety—and their symptoms before presenting a statistical analysis to give scope to the impact of the disorders. The article then explores the science behind breathing and breathwork as a valuable antidote to these disorders. The whakapapa of the concept of Hā, and how the Hā tool was developed, is then described. The article then describes how the creation of a Hā habit through intention, purpose, mindfulness and presence alleviates traumatic experiences and acts as both an intervention strategy and a preventative strategy to build resilience against poor mental wellbeing. Finally, the development of a new wellbeing measuring tool called Tū and Rongo is described, and positive feedback from users of the Hā tool is presented.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as vivências intersubjetivas de sofrimento no trabalho de mulheres no setor automotivo. A pesquisa foi baseada em um estudo de caso com 24 trabalhadoras de uma indústria automotiva localizada no interior de São Paulo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e aplicação de questionário online, sendo que os dados foram tratados por meio de Análise de conteúdo e articulados às contribuições teóricas da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho. Quanto aos resultados, evidenciou-se que a empresa totaliza uma força de trabalho majoritariamente masculina (92%) que reforça uma clara divisão social e sexual do trabalho na cadeia de trabalho automotiva. A dinâmica organizacional culmina na dificuldade das mulheres conciliar trabalho produtivo e reprodutivo para continuar se desenvolvendo na carreira. Questionamentos sobre a competência, sobretudo em relação às mulheres que ocupam cargos de liderança e formas assédio moral foram visualizados na pesquisa.  Aproximadamente 68,4% das trabalhadoras, independentemente da função que ocupavam, mencionaram igualmente sentir estresse e ansiedade, ou seja, manifestações de sofrimento no trabalho. Enquanto mecanismo de defesa, a pesquisa demonstrou que as trabalhadoras desenvolvem estratégias e comportamentos para serem aceitas e provar que são capazes o suficiente para ocupar seus cargos na organização.

Como muchos otros contaminantes que alteran la calidad de los cuerpos de agua, el cobre y el flúor, representan un riesgo para los ecosistemas y la salud de las personas. Para mitigar este problema diversos materiales adsorbentes se utilizan como una alternativa económica y eficiente en procesos que buscan remover estos elementos de aguas contaminadas. Si los materiales adsorbentes son biodegradables, como es el caso de la cáscara de cacahuate, el proceso será también amigable con el ambiente. El objetivo principal del presente proyecto es la aplicación de la cáscara de cacahuate como material adsorbente en procesos de remoción de cobre y su posterior reúso en la remoción de fluoruros. Para ello, la cáscara de cacahuate se utiliza primero para la remoción de cobre, el material con el cobre adsorbido se seca y se utiliza nuevamente para la remoción de fluoruros. Por medio de modelos matemáticos se determinó que la adsorción se llevó a cabo por una combinación de procesos físicos y químicos, en ambos casos. La capacidad de remoción, de acuerdo con el modelo de Langmuir, fue de 31.1 mg/g para el Cu2+ mientras que para la remoción de F– fue de 1.6 mg/g. La cáscara de cacahuate se caracterizó por medio de microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB) y espectroscopía de fotoelectrones de rayos X (XPS) antes y después de los procesos de adsorción.

Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) have gained significant attention due to their ability to modify the surface morphology of materials at the micro-nanoscale and show great promise for surface functionalization application. In this study, we specifically investigate the formation of LIPSS in silicon substrates and explore their impact on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) applications. This study reveals a stepwise progression of LIPSS formation in silicon, involving three distinct stages of LIPSS: 1) integrated Low-Spatial-Frequency LIPSS (LSFL) and High-Spatial-Frequency LIPSS (HSFL), 2) principally LSFL and 3) LSFL at the edge of the irradiated spot, elucidating the complex interplay between laser fluence, pulse number, and resulting surface morphology. Furthermore, from an application standpoint, these high-quality multi-scale periodic patterns lead to the next step of texturing the entire silicon surface with homogeneous LIPSS for SERS application. The potential of LIPSS-fabricated silicon substrates for enhancing SERS performance is investigated using thiophenol as a test molecule. The results indicate that the Au-coated combination of LSFL and HSFL substrate showcased the highest enhancement factor (EF) of 1.38 × 10^6. This pronounced enhancement is attributed to the synergistic effects of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) and Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs), intricately linked to HSFL and LSFL characteristics. These findings contribute to understanding LIPSS formation in silicon and their applications in surface functionalization and SERS, paving the way for sensing platforms.
The Ensemble of Text Convolutional Neural Networks and Multi-Head Attention Layers for Classifying Threats in Network Packets

Using traditional methods based on detection rules written by human security experts, there is a significant challenge in accurately detecting many network threats that are increasingly becoming sophisticated. In order to deal with the limitation of the traditional methods, network threat detection techniques utilizing artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning are being extensively studied. Research has also been conducted on analyzing various string patterns in network packet payloads through natural language processing techniques to detect attack intent. However, due to the nature of packet payloads containing binary data as well as text data, a new approach is needed that goes beyond typical natural language processing techniques. In this paper, we study a token extraction method optimized for payloads using n-gram and byte pair encoding techniques. Furthermore, we generate embedding vectors that can understand the context of the packet payload using algorithms such as Word2Vec and FastText. We also compute the embedding of various header data associated with packets, such as IP addresses and ports. Given the combination of these features, we ensemble a text 1D-CNN and a multi-head attention network in a novel fashion. We validated the effectiveness of our classification technique with the CICIDS2017 open dataset and over half a million data collected by The Education Cyber Security Center (ECSC) currently operating in South Korea. The proposed model showed remarkable progress compared to previous studies, demonstrating a highly accurate classification performance with an F1-Score of 0.998. Our model can also preprocess and classify 150,000 network threats per minute to help security agents in the field divert their time to analyzing more complex attack patterns.

Biodegradable poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and its composites or blends have gotten a lot of attention in the last decade because of their potential applications in human life and environmental remediation. As a result, there is a growing interest in the synthesis of PCL-composites/blends and their applications. Greater efforts have been made to develop biodegradable chemical materials as adsorbents that do not pollute the environment in order to replace traditional materials. Among the numerous types of degradable materials, PCL is currently the most promising, the most popular, and the best material to be developed, and it is referred to as the "green" eco-friendly material. Membranes and adsorbents for water treatment, packaging and compost bags, controlled drug carriers, biomaterials for tissues such as bone, cartilage, ligament, skeletal muscle, skin, cardiovascular and nerve tissues are just some of the applications of this biodegradable polymer (PCL). The goal of this review is to present a brief overview of PCL, its properties, syntheses of PCL, PCL composites, and PCL blends, but to provide a detailed investigation into the utility of PCL/PCL-based adsorbing agents in the removal of dyes/heavy metal ions.
