Heat loss is a major health hazard for divers. It can lead to hypothermia, organ damage, unconsciousness, and eventually death. Hence, thermal protection is essential for diver safety. Typically, protection is provided by wetsuits made of bubbled neoprene. However, neoprene shrinks with depth and loses thermal insulation capability, while thick neoprene suits make swimming exhausting. Herein, a proof-of-concept is presented for a solution to both problems: a ‘K-suit’ made of thermally-resistive composite segments attached to a thin neoprene suit. The segments are made of hollow glass microspheres embedded in carrier polymer thermally cured in 3D-printed molds based on 3D-scans of the diver’s body. The K-suit was compared in field trials with a 7 mm commercial neoprene suit by diving in pairs, while automated dataloggers registered pressure and temperature inside and outside both suits. The K-suit demonstrated +4ºC higher temperature difference than the 7 mm neoprene. Also, divers reported that the K-suit had the ergonomics of a 3 mm neoprene suit. These preliminary results represent a proof-of-concept for the K-suit and promise further improvements with potential impact on diver safety.
Legal Analysis of Current Indonesia's Marine Protected Areas Development
Authors: Nugraha Adrian
Published: September 2021

This paper aims to conduct a legal analysis of the development of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Indonesia. This article discusses the international legal framework and national legislation related to MPAs, progress and control, and problems in developing MPAs in Indonesia and its solutions. The international legal frameworks discussed include the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982, the Convention on Biological Diversity 1992, and Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries 1995. Subsequently, the Indonesian legislation analyzed includes the Act on Conservation of Living Resources and their Ecosystems, the Act concerning Fisheries, the Act concerning the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands, and the Act on Marine Affairs. The progress and control of the establishment of MPAs in Indonesia have now reached the target area of more than twenty million hectares. Apart from the success of these achievements, Indonesia also has problems in developing MPAs. Current problems related to MPA development include dualism of permits, conflicts over zoning and regional spatial planning, multiple interpretations of penal sanctions, and overlapping management authorities between government agencies. The solutions offered to solve these problems include synchronizing marine tourism permits, integrating zoning and spatial plans into one regional government regulation, imposing the most severe criminal sanctions for perpetrators of destroying marine ecosystems, and transfer of full authority over the management of seven marine protected areas to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

Published: September 2021

This study aimed to analyse a shifting paradigm of Dominus Litis (judge activeness) in the Indonesian state administrative justice. This principle emphasises that judges expand the paradigm that judges are not limited to being used in processes regulated in law. However, judges need to actively develop the paradigm to make legal discoveries oriented towards substantive justice and expand the paradigm from merely resolving disputes positivistically to resolving conflicts with paradigms. Legal realism and sociological jurisprudence to create substantive justice. This paper uses the normative research method, with a statutory approach and case approach by analysing two decisions of state administrative court judges. The result showed that Dominus Litis in the dispute's accomplishment is not limited to the implementation of juridical-legal positivism factors, but on how judges use their mindset to provide ideal decisions and conduct legal reasoning use socio-legal and socio-cultural paradigms. The development of demands for justice has also experienced a paradigm shift of justice. It requires the principle of an active judge who always follows developments in public policy, such as the principle of sustainable development related to environmental and natural resource issues, and finding the legal material truth.
Rethinking Indonesian Legislation on Wildlife Protection: A Comparison between Indonesia and the United States
Authors: Febrian Febrian , Apriyani Lusi , Novianti Vera
Published: September 2021

In Indonesia, a crime against wildlife is still not well controlled. Several reasons are the fact that certain wildlife is still considered a threat by the community and the lack of implemented criminal sanctions. This paper compares the application of sanctions to perpetrators of wildlife crimes between Indonesia and America. Based on the Indonesian Law, Article 40(2) of the Law on Conservation of Living Natural Resources and their Ecosystems, a person who commits a crime against individual wild animals can be imprisoned for a maximum of five years and a maximum fine of one hundred million rupiahs. Meanwhile, the United States Law, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), charges wildlife criminals with criminal and civil penalties. In § 1540(a)(1) it provides that anyone who takes, imports, exports, transports or sells endangered species can be fined not more than $ 25,000. If the species is threatened in the group, the offender can be subject to a sentence of not more than $ 12,000. Also, additional criminal sanctions were imposed to revoke federal licenses, lease permits and hunting permits. This study aims to analyse criminal sanctions' enforcement in criminal cases against protected animals in courts in Indonesia and the United States to find best practices using normative legal research methods. The results show that the criminal sanctions against wildlife crimes in Indonesia have never reached the maximum sentence so that it is not sufficient to provide a deterrent effect for the perpetrators. Unlike in America, the imprisonment sanction for criminal sanctions for protected animals is still relatively weak, but fines and civil sanctions can be maximally applied.
Abuse of Rights by Majority Shareholders in Indonesian Family-Owned Company: Is It Likely?
Authors: Kohar Fiona Priscilia , Dewi Yetty Komalasari
Published: September 2021

The familial relations entwining the ownership and management of a family-owned company creates a significant opportunity for majority shareholders to exercise their rights to others' detriment. Various jurisdictions have addressed such issue by projecting the concept of abuse of rights by majority shareholders (abus de majorité). The concept aims to detect which behaviour could be considered an abuse and provide legal protection for minority shareholders and companies. In Indonesia, however, such a concept has not been explicitly adopted nor discussed at length.  This work examines what behaviour which could be considered as a form of abuse of rights by majority shareholders under the Indonesian company law, and how the protection and practice of Indonesian private company law against such behaviour. This work is a normative legal research using conceptual, comparison, statutory, and case-law approaches. The comparison and case-law approaches will be utilized to examine the universal concept of majority shareholders abuse of rights by examining the adoption of the concept in various jurisdictions and examine several relevant cases brought to the Indonesian court. As a result, it concludes that there are still problems surrounding the legal measures available, as this behaviour is still prevalent, especially in Indonesia's family-owned companies. Hence, more stringent rules are needed to protect minority shareholders and the Indonesian Company's interests effectively.
Nurses’ Knowledge on Delirium Prevention and Detection in Hospitalized Adults: A Quality Improvement Project
Authors: Deery Kayla
Published: September 2021

Delirium, recognized as a medical and psychological emergency, is a symptom of an acute medical condition. Despite the prevalence of delirium in the hospital setting, it continues to be unrecognized, resulting in poor patient outcomes, and exorbitant healthcare cost. Patients with dementia who are chronically ill, as well as patients previously diagnosed with delirium, represent a vulnerable population and require closer surveillance due to their predisposing factors. This quality improvement project goal is to increase nurses’ knowledge and understanding of delirium. This was completed through providing education to medical-surgical nurses on the causes of delirium (predisposing and precipitating factors), prevention, use of the confusion assessment method (CAM) screening tool, and detection of delirium. The change in knowledge was measure through an investigator created, 10-question multiple choice, pretest-posttest measurement model.

Of the 58 nurses, nine responded and completed the pretest (N=9, 15.5%), while seven

completed the educational intervention posttest (N=7, 12%). Results of the quality

improvement project yielded a 22.1% increase in nurses’ knowledge after the educational

intervention. Despite the low participation rate, this project revealed a positive correlation

between the educational intervention and nurses’ knowledge.

Authors: Franco Brenna
Published: September 2021

Environmental greenness is often associated with improved psychological outcomes, but the use of green space as a protective factor for maintaining physiologic health is understudied. However, growing evidence exists on the benefit of greenness on physiologic health. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of green space on the physiologic function of the adult. Cohort studies were searched for that had all elements of inclusion criteria. Six final studies were included in this systematic review utilizing PRISMA guidelines and CASP tool for cohort studies. Data from the studies was collected and a cross study analysis was conducted to compare all studies and assess for themes in study outcomes. Results of this review demonstrate that green space has a protective effect on physiologic health. Areas with higher levels of greenness are associated with lower prevalence of central obesity, diabetes mellitus, and self-reported rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke as well as decreased rates of mortality from cancers, and kidney and respiratory diseases. Implications of this study include the importance in understanding risk factors for development of disease. Awareness of a patient’s environment that includes natural spaces should be identified as a potential risk factor for the development of cardiovascular illness, obesity, and diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Gomes Rosivaldo , Santos Paulo Herculano Ribeiro
Published: September 2021

O artigo apresenta uma análise de atividades propostas no Livro Didático de Língua Portuguesa do sexto ano a partir do uso de tiras como mecanismo para as práticas de análise linguística e reflexão dos usos linguísticos. Para embasar nossos estudos abordamos as discussões sobre Análise Linguística a partir de Bezerra e Reinaldo (2013) e Mendonça (2006); os estudos sobre as teorias de Gênero de Bakhtin (2003[1952/53/1979]) e Bronckart (1999) e a explanação sobre o gênero tira com base em Ramos (2017). A metodologia consiste em abordagem qualitativa interpretativista (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008), com técnica de análise documental que possibilitou analisar como as práticas de Análise Linguística de vertente epilinguística e metalinguística são aplicadas no livro didático. Nossos resultados mostraram que há divergências quanto às abordagens de Análise Linguística em relação às propostas de exercício voltadas para gramática e ainda convergências quanto ao uso reflexivo através das práticas de Análise Linguística na construção de conceitos. Concluímos que no livro analisado há propostas de reflexão linguística, mas é preciso avançar mais ainda quanto a abordagem.
A AUSÊNCIA DE POLÍTICAS LINGUÍSTICAS PARA O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: De Andrade Camila Souza
Published: September 2021

O ensino de língua inglesa é inserido cada vez mais cedo nos anos de escolarização, pois vivemos em uma sociedade globalizada que está em constante contato com diversas culturas e línguas. Nesse contexto, a língua inglesa, que é tida como língua de comunicação universal, tornou-se pré-requisito para muitas tarefas e oportunidades de emprego. Diante disso, muitos responsáveis têm buscado cada vez mais escolas que ofertem o ensino de inglês a partir da Educação Infantil. Contudo, mesmo diante das expansões da oferta do ensino de inglês nas séries iniciais, no Brasil, ainda não tem política linguística que norteie esse ensino. Desta forma, a criação de uma política linguística voltada para o ensino de línguas para as séries iniciais é de suma importância para que o ensino dessas novas línguas aconteça de forma adequada e para que a aprendizagem dos estudantes seja alcançada.  Por fim, o presente estudo pode contribuir para futuras pesquisas sobre políticas linguísticas e para implementação de futuras ações de políticas linguísticas para o ensino de línguas nas séries iniciais.

Authors: Yousif Taqwa , Naje Asama
Published: September 2021

In this work, wide band range photo detector operating in UV, Visible and IR was fabricated using carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs, SWCNTs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). Silicon was used as a substrate to deposited CNTs/Ag NPs by the drop casting technique. Polyamide nylon polymer was used to coat CNTs/Ag NPs to enhance the photo-response of the detector. The electro-exploding wire technology was used to synthesize Ag NPs. Good dispersion of silver NPs achieved by a simple chemistry process on the surface of CNTs. The optical, structure and electrical characteristic of CNTs decorated with Ag NPs were characterized by X-Ray diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy.  X-ray diffraction patterns of Ag NPs exhibited 2θ values (38.1°,44.3°) corresponding to the Ag nanocrystal, while the XRD pattern of MWCNTs and SWCNTs /Ag NPs peaks appeared at 2θ = 26.2° corresponding to the (002) and at 2theta=44° which corresponds with miller indices (100) for CNTs and (200) for Ag NPs. The optical properties measured by UV-Vis. Spectroscopy. Broad and strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak was detected at 420 nm, for Ag NPs. The absorption of CNTs/Ag NPs increased significantly from UV to near IR region (300-1000 nm).  Ag NPs decorated CNTs without any impurities, according to field mission scanning electron microscopy examination, with typical particle sizes of (50-80nm) for Ag-NPs, 44nm for MWCNTs/Ag-NPs, and 30nm for SWCNTs/Ag NPs. ֹThe I-V characteristics at forward bias voltage (0.5-10) volt were studied. The figure of merits (responsivity, photocurrent gain, NEP and detectivity) after coating with polymer of the detector were measured in the dark and after illumination with UV LED (365 nm), Tungsten lamp (500-800 nm) and Laser diode (808 nm).

Psychologie als interpretative Wissenschaft
Authors: Straub Jürgen
Published: September 2021

Jürgen Straub eröffnet und erläutert zentrale Perspektiven einer zeitgemäßen Handlungs- und Kulturpsychologie. Seine theoretischen Reflexionen machen Leserinnen und Leser mit einem komplexen Kulturbegriff und exakten Modellen der verstehenden Handlungserklärung bekannt. Grundzüge einer psychologischen Anthropologie werden ebenso skizziert wie die Idee eines dezentrierten Subjekts, das seine Autonomie und Kreativität keineswegs schon ganz an »anonyme Strukturen« und eine »undurchschaubare Macht« abgegeben hat. Dieses soziale Subjekt lebt und handelt in einer kulturellen Welt von Bildern, Texten und Diskursen, denen sich die kulturpsychologische Forschung mit großer Offenheit und unbändiger Neugierde zuwendet.

Das erste Buch versammelt anthropologische Grundlagen und elementare Orientierungen. Im zweiten Buch widmet sich der Autor Erklärungsformen, der Handlungs- und Subjekttheorie sowie dem Homo narrator und Homo pictor in der psychologischen Erzähl- und Bildtheorie.

This study uses an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to investigate the role of incomes, relative price competitiveness, and substitution prices in tourism demand from Indonesia’s six largest countries of origin from 2007Q1 to 2019Q4. Income level, competitive prices, and substitution prices significantly impact the demand for tourism in Indonesia. Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Japan, and India are income elastic, signaling that tourism is a luxury good, but China (normal good). Malaysia and China are price elastic while Japan, India, Singapore, and Australia are less affected by changes in relative prices. Substitute prices may drive tourist to other destinations if the change in prices is large.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new viral illness that affects not only the respiratory system but also leads to multiorgan involvement. Till now, no curative treatment is available; prevention is the only way to reduce the number of infected cases. Low serum level of vitamin D has been implicated in increased susceptibility to coronavirus infection and disease severity. However, there is no conclusive evidence as regards the role of vitamin D in COVID-19 infection and outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the serum level of Vit D in patients with COVID-19 and highlights its prognostic significance. A total of 109 COVID-19 patients' medical records were selected and retrospectively analyzed from Ohoud Hospital in Medina. Data collection was done in the period between 1/4/2020 and 22/2/2021 followed by statistical analysis. The median age for COVID-19 patients was 54 years old. The level of Vit-D was low in patients with COVID-19 with a median of 15.2 ng/ml. Serum ferritin was high in all COVID-19 patients with a median of 720.9 ng/ml. There was a significantly higher rate of developing severe forms of COVID-19 in males compared to females, P-value < 0.001. Serum vitamin D level was significantly lower in patients with COVID-19 compared to control with P-value < 0.001. More reduction in Vit-D level was detected in the severe form of COVID-19 (P-value 0.042). There were significantly lower levels of vitamin D and higher levels of ferritin in the server covid-19 cases, P-values of 0.018 and 0.001, respectively. Low serum Vitamin-D level was significantly associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 infection and a more severe form of the disease that may end by death. Vitamin D supplementation will provide a sufficient serum level of the vitamin that can prevent infection and or minimize COVID-19 severity. Keywords: COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency.
Critical review on arsenic: Its occurrence, contamination and remediation from water and soil
Authors: Meghana K M , Sayantan D
Published: September 2021

With the increasing pollution in today’s world, importance is being given to solve a problem and do it in a sustainable, eco-friendly manner. Arsenic is a class-1 carcinogen and also causes many other side effects to humans, plants and animals. The utilization of arsenic as wood preservatives, pesticides, or its historical overuse by some military units for rice killing operations has led to the increase in the toxic effects of arsenic like its carcinogenicity, decreased immune response etc. Although conventional methods like coagulation, lime softening, adsorption, membrane technology are effective, they have their disadvantages like additional waste generation, causing increased pollution and are expensive. The better alternative is phytoremediation. Appropriate plants like Brassica juncea, Hydrilla verticilata, Pteris vittata L., Vallisneria natans,  can be chosen based on the method of the remediation like phytoextraction, phytostabilization and phytofiltration or phytovoltalization. This review provides the list of a few plants which can be likely chosen for the purpose of both water and soil remediation. Advancements are occurring in bioremediation studies with the development of transgenic plants like transgenic tobacco, transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana for better phytoremediation.  Understanding the mechanism employed by the plant for its uptake/detoxification can aid in the enhancement of the process of remediation with the external supply of phosphorus. Along with this, the proper and safe disposal of plants is crucial for the remediation process. In addition, awareness of this solution to the general public is to be made for its effectiveness.

Land use change resulting from anthropogenic pressure on land has led to degraded soil quality, especially in the hilly tropical regions where ecosystems are generally fragile and susceptible to soil degradation from cultivation. Hence, sustainable land uses and management practices are crucial for agricultural production and ecological balance, particularly in these regions. The present study investigates the impact of various hill land uses (Natural forest-NAF, Jhum fallow-JF, Home garden-HG, Acacia pennata plantation-AP and Current Jhum-CJ) on soil exchangeable nutrients in steeply sloping agro-ecosystems of Mizoram, North-east India. Soil samples were collected from three different depths (0-10, 10-20 & 20-30 cm) and analyzed for pH, Pavail, Na, K, Mg, Mn and Ca. Our results indicated that land use and soil depths had a significant impact on soil pH, Pavail and soil exchangeable cations (p<0.05). Conversion of native forests for cultivation negatively affected soil properties as indicated by the reduced soil exchangeable cations in cultivated lands (AP & CJ) in relation to the natural forest (NAF) and  Jhum fallow (JF). Soils under longer periods of fallow (>12 years) led to increases in soil available nutrients indicating the role of vegetation cover in conserving and enhancing soil available nutrients and vice-versa. In addition, Home garden (HG) showed moderately higher available soil nutrients signifying the role of sustainable management practices such as the addition of organic amendments and mixed cropping, leading to increased soil available nutrient content.

Salinity stress affects plant growth and development and underlying metabolisms. To mitigate the effects of the stress, plants responded by changing their physiological and biochemical activities and withstand the stress. The present study aimed to determine barley's (Hordeum vulgare L.)  physiological and biochemical response to salinity stress conditions for 7 days and 14 days. Six barley cultivars (Alfa93, DWRB73, DL88, NB1, NB3, NDB1173) were grown under controlled conditions, and different level of salinity stress was applied. In addition, seedling growth, physiological and biochemical parameters, plant leaves RWC, and electrolyte leakage were analyzed. The overall seedling growth, RWC, and electrolyte leakage in salt susceptible lines Alfa93 and DWRB73 were low than the salt-tolerant barley lines (DL88, NB1, NB3, and NDB1173). Electrolyte leakage was 26.0 and 20.6% in Alfa93 and DWRB73, whereas it was 17.6, 14.6, 15.3, and 10.4% in DL88, NB1, NB3, and NDB1173, respectively at 300 mM salinity stress.  The loss of photosynthetic pigments under salt stress was high in susceptible lines, salinity treated (300 mM NaCl) Alfa93 plants exhibit 49.5% and 59.5% of Chl-a than control plants after 7 and 14 days of treatment, respectively. However, at 300 mM stress level, NB1 (ST) showed less Chl-a loss after 7 days, whereas NDB1173 showed less reduction in Chl-a after 14 days.  Antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, POX, CAT, and APX activities in susceptible line Alfa93 and DWRB73 were lower than tolerant lines. PCA analysis demonstrated a positive correlation between antioxidant enzyme activities and genotypes under salinity stress. PCA analysis described DL88 as the most tolerant, and DWRB73 was the most salt susceptible genotype among the studied barley genotypes. The present findings suggest that barley cultivars' physiological and biochemical activities under salinity stress conditions may be used to screen salt-tolerant crops.

Soil test crop response (STCR) correlation studies under Integrated Plant Nutrition System were conducted in the western agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu during 2020-2021 to devise the fertilizer prescription equations for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)  under drip fertigation on an alfisol. The equations were derived by following Ramamoorthy’s Inductive cum targeted yield model. The nutrient requirement of N, P2O5 and K2O for producing one quintal of tomato fruit was found to be 0.22, 0.11, 0.27 kg respectively. The per cent contribution of nutrients were 37.93, 46.73 and 29.53 of N, P2O5 and K2O from soil (Cs) and 47.84, 31.12 and 74.13 of N, P2O5 and K2O from fertilizers (Cf) respectively. Two organic sources were applied viz., FYM (Farm Yard Manure) and Biocompost and the per cent contribution of nutrients from FYM were 38.36, 13.22 and 52.17 of N, P2O5 and K2O and from biocompost were 43.34, 10.90 and 57.00 of N, P2O5 and K2O respectively. Fertilizer adjustment equations were formulated for STCR-NPK alone, STCR-IPNS (FYM) and STCR-IPNS (Biocompost) by applying the basic parameters such as NR, Cs, Cf, Cfym, Cbiocompost. A ready reckoner of fertilizer doses for a set of soil test values at yield targets 80 and 90 t ha-1 was computed. The findings also showed that the adoption of STCR-IPNS could save more fertilizers.
Countering Islamic State And Al Qaeda’s Ideological Doctrines
Authors: Bandopadhyaya Suvojit
Published: September 2021

This paper discusses the ideological differences between the Islamic State (IS) and Al Qaeda (AQ) and their differential media strategies that were existing from 2014 to 2017. This paper emphasises the interpretation of Qutbism and the unification of Ummah which led to the divide and disintegration of AQ of Iraq later becoming IS. This ideological difference emanates from practice and theological understanding of Salafism by IS and AQ and perception of the near and far enemy by both the terrorist organizations. Both terrorist organizations’ ideological doctrines are also influenced by the use of information and communication technologies catering to their respective audience. Considering the ideological differences and differences in IS and AQ media strategies, this paper proposes counter-terrorism strategies to fight IS and AQ online propaganda.

With the Present days increasing demand for the higher performance with the application developers have started considering cloud computing and cloud-based data centres as one of the prime options for hosting the application. Number of parallel research outcomes have for making a data centre secure, the data centre infrastructure must go through the auditing process. During the auditing process, auditors can access VMs, applications and data deployed on the virtual machines. The downside of the data in the VMs can be highly sensitive and during the process of audits, it is highly complex to permits based on the requests and can increase the total time taken to complete the tasks. Henceforth, the demand for the selective and adaptive auditing is the need of the current research. However, these outcomes are criticised for higher time complexity and less accuracy. Thus, this work proposes a predictive method for analysing the characteristics of the VM applications and the characteristics from the auditors and finally granting the access to the virtual machine by building a predictive regression model. The proposed algorithm demonstrates 50% of less time complexity to the other parallel research for making the cloud-based application development industry a safer and faster place.
PATOLOJİK PATERNALİZM: PATERNAL DEVLET VE ‘İYİNİYETLİ’ İYİLİKSEVERLİK DESPOTİZMİ ÜZERİNE

Devlet paternalizmi, devletin egemenlik hakkı ve yetkisine dayanarak kendi topraklarında yaşayan insanların kendilerine, ailelerine ve başkalarına verecekleri zararları ortadan kaldırmak; sağlık, huzur, mutluluk ve refahlarını arttırmak gayesiyle onların rıza ve onayını almaksızın davranış, karar ve tercihlerine “zorla” (cebren) bazı sınırlamalar ve yasaklar getirmesi ve bu yönde yasal düzenlemeler ve uygulamalar yapmasıdır. Paternalizm felsefesi üzerine eleştirel bir yazı olarak kaleme alınan bu çalışmada anarşi ve Leviathan arasında meşruiyeti sağlam bir optimal (yasal) paternalizme mutlaka bir yer olduğu; fakat Leviathan kontrol edilmezse, haddini ve sınırlarını bilmezse o zaman patolojik paternalizmin kaçınılmaz olacağı düşüncesi savunulmaktadır. Hiçbir kimse ve hiçbir otorite bir kişinin kendine ait olan yaşamını yönetme ve onun seçim yapma hakkını elinden alamaz ve almamalıdır. Kendi yaşamını istediği şekilde yönetme ve tercihlerini belirleme hakkının ancak ve ancak haklılaştırılmış gerekçelerle sınırlandırılması sözkonusu olabilir ki, bu genel ilkeyi aşan bir devlet paternalizmi patolojiktir ve despotizmden başka bir şey değildir. Bu çalışma paternalizmin felsefi temelleri üzerine bir değerlendirme yazısı olarak kaleme alınmıştır.
