LEGISLATIVE CHANGES RAGARDING TRAFFICKING AND EXPLOITATION OF VULNERABLE PERSONS – EVOLUTION AND CURRENT JUSTIFICATIONS
Authors: Constantin Eduard
Published: February 2025

The intensification of the phenomenon of exploitation of vulnerable people, the serious ways in which this phenomenon manifests itself, and its cross-border character have led the legislator to intervene on the normative content of some crimes regarding the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable people in the current Criminal Code, by changing the amount of punishments and by introducing new assimilated variants and aggravating elements – the latest amendments were introduced by Law No. 217 of 10 July 2023, Law No. 202 of 26 June 2024, and Law No. 269 of 30 October 2024.
The justification for these legislative amendments referred to the high rate of human trafficking, the large number of children abused and sexually exploited by being forced into prostitution or into acts specific to child pornography, in the online environment, but also to the cross-border nature of human trafficking. Other reasons were also presented, such as: the significant proportion of other forms of exploitation (forced labor, begging); very lenient sentences compared to the seriousness of the crimes of trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons; the need to restrict the scope of application of the provisions on the suspension of the execution of the sentence under supervision in the case of slavery, human trafficking and minors trafficking; the lack of differences between the social danger of pimping in its aggravated form and human trafficking; non-uniform judicial practice.

Hobbels en oneffenheden in de Pikmeer-rechtspraak

Deze bijdrage laat zien dat en – vooral – waarom de Pikmeer-rechtspraak over de strafrechtelijke immuniteit van lagere overheden nog steeds vragen oproept. Dat geldt in de eerste plaats voor de uitleg van het Pikmeer II-criterium. De daarin figurerende termen ‘bestuursfunctionarissen’ en ‘(desbetreffende) gedragingen’ zijn voor verschillende interpretatie vatbaar. Daarnaast zijn er vragen omtrent de vervolgbaarheid van personen op grond van leidinggeven en eigen daderschap. Het ligt op de weg van de Hoge Raad over deze fundamentele kwesties meer duidelijkheid te verschaffen.

Onwaardig te erven door strafrechtelijke veroordeling. Beschouwing over voorstellen tot uitbreiding van artikel 4:3 BW

Uitbreiding van de erfrechtelijke onwaardigheidsregeling (art. 4:3 BW) voor gevallen waarin een verdachte niet strafrechtelijk is veroordeeld maar wel terbeschikkingstelling is bevolen, is ongewenst en onnodig. Het voornemen van de minister – dat in de literatuur instemming heeft ontmoet – strookt niet goed met de grondslagen van de onwaardigheidsregeling, roept (in zijn huidige vorm) talrijke uitwerkingsvragen op en sluit niet goed aan op het strafrechtelijke sanctiearsenaal. Uitzonderlijke probleemgevallen zoals de zogeheten Beuningse martelmoord kunnen – zo blijkt ook uit het arrest van de Hoge Raad van 6 december 2024 – in voorkomende gevallen via de band van de (derogerende werking van de) redelijkheid en billijkheid passend en aansprekend worden opgelost.

Over de overdracht en uitwinning van de bevoegdheden van een legitimaris

In deze bijdrage beargumenteert schrijver waarom artikel 4:92 lid 3 BW achterhaald is. Zo deze bepaling al niet voor niet geschreven mag worden gehouden, dient zij restrictief te worden uitgelegd en toegepast. Dit brengt onder meer mee dat aangenomen dient te worden dat artikel 4:92 lid 3 BW geen betrekking heeft op de uitwinning van de bevoegdheden van een legitimaris door een schuldeiser. Schrijver bestrijdt een aantal door prof. mr. J.W.A. Biemans in Tijdschrift Erfrecht 2024, afl. 4 (p. 62-71) ingenomen stellingen.

Over het WODC-rapport Draagvlak voor de legitieme portie

Onlangs verscheen, op verzoek van het Ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid, een WODC-rapport over het draagvlak voor de legitieme portie voor kinderen vanaf 21 jaar. Uit het rapport blijkt dat het grootste deel van de Nederlandse bevolking de huidige forfaitaire legitieme portie omarmt. Slechts 19% is in het algemeen tegen de legitieme portie. Een alternatief als een som ineens voor behoeftige kinderen kent relatief weinig draagvlak; gelijke behandeling van kinderen wordt gewaardeerd. De uitslag is verrassend, omdat in de rechtsliteratuur de afgelopen decennia vaak anders werd gedacht. De bijdrage gaat in op het onderzoek, de resultaten en de aanbevelingen.

This study addresses the challenge of detecting Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) in corporate networks by developing a hybrid multi-modal detection framework. We combine traditional machine learning models, deep learning architectures, and transformer-based models to improve the detection of sophisticated and stealthy cyber threats. A comprehensive dataset, consisting of network traffic and event logs, was processed through rigorous data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model development. The results show that the hybrid ensemble model, integrating Gradient Boosting and Transformer-based architectures, outperforms all other models, achieving 98.7% accuracy, 98.3% precision, and 97.9% recall, while maintaining a false positive rate below 1%. The model demonstrated exceptional performance in real-world simulations, detecting over 98% of malicious activities. Our findings highlight the importance of combining the strengths of classical and advanced machine learning techniques for effective APT detection and mitigation, providing a reliable, scalable solution for real-time cybersecurity.
Critical path method utilization for optimal scheduling of production activities
Authors: Wofuru-Nyenke Ovundah King
Published: February 2025

Critical Path Method (CPM) is a useful method for scheduling activities involved in a project. CPM is suitable for large and complex projects in which many tasks are involved and the interrelationships among these tasks must be taken into account. Its efficacy can easily be transferred to the optimal scheduling of production engineering activities in order to save time involved in the project. It helps in identifying the sequence of jobs that determines the earliest possible completion date for the project. The knowledge of the critical jobs can aid in eliminating the fairly common and costly practice of rushing all jobs to reduce the total project time. Meanwhile, rushing only the critical jobs will have the desired effect of decreasing the total project time. In this study, the critical path method was utilized in scheduling activities involved in the production of a new product by a metalworks manufacturing company. The project activities involved making an initial market study which took 25 days, developing promotional ideas which took 22 days, estimating promotional costs which took 16 days, conducting initial pricing study which took 29 days, preparing a detailed design which took 30 days, manufacturing prototypes which took 14 days, making design changes which took 12 days and determination of the final selling price of the product which took 15 days. The critical path analysis revealed that the minimum allowable time and earliest possible completion date for the project is 96 days. This research provides a procedure for implementing the Critical Path Method for production activities scheduling.
Scale and implementation of the possible solar-hydrogen system for island communities
Authors: Tran Minh
Published: February 2025

As technology progresses, there is an increase in possibilities of designing an independent and self-reliant energy source for small communities. Island and remote communities often have to rely on fuel transportation and main grid development for energy supply. By using renewable energy as an alternative choice for energy sources, small communities can remove hazardous emissions while saving money on fuels and shipping costs. Solar-to-Hydrogen (StH) microgrid is a system of solar panels and hydrogen energy systems that can capture and store solar energy for daily usage without fear of energy disruption during nighttime. Despite the initial high capital investment, the concept can be explored and implemented as the long-term economic benefits are present when the cost of electricity is high for remote locations. This study is dedicated to researching and designing a microgrid that can sustain a small community without the presence of 3rd energy source for these communities.

Saudi Arabia's national interests in military intervention policy in Yemen against Iranian involvement
Authors: Bahein Najm Al-Dain S.M.
Published: February 2025

The Yemeni Civil War, which has been ongoing since 2015, has attracted significant international attention due to its complex dynamics and severe humanitarian consequences. Among the main actors involved, Saudi Arabia’s intervention played a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of the conflict. This study analyzes Saudi Arabia’s intervention’s motivation, nature, and impact, especially in its geopolitical rivalry with Iran and broader national interests. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data was collected through various scholarly sources and empirical data. The study evaluates the military, political, and humanitarian dimensions of Saudi Arabia’s involvement as well as its regional and global implications. The findings of this study reveal that Saudi Arabia’s intervention was primarily driven by security concerns, economic interests, and the pursuit of regional dominance rather than solely in response to Iranian influence. However, the protracted nature of the conflict and its humanitarian consequences highlight the challenges Saudi Arabia faces in achieving its objectives. By contextualizing these results within a broader socio-political framework, this study provides a deeper understanding of the Yemeni crisis and the role of external actors, particularly Saudi Arabia, in shaping its development.

Published: February 2025

O conceito de livro variou ao longo dos anos, seu novo formato é o livro digital. Inicialmente surgiu o ebook e, recentemente, o audiobook. No contexto desta pesquisa o audiobook é caracterizado como uma Tecnologia Assistiva para Pessoas com Deficiência Visual, pois os cegos, por terem visão comprometida, não possuem acesso aos livros escritos, e dessa forma, podem ouvir os áudios gravados. O objetivo da pesquisa foi observar um dia de gravação de um audiobook e analisar as dificuldades enfrentadas, observando a qualidade das gravações e o uso por pessoas com deficiência visual. O processo da gravação do audiobook teve algumas dificuldades, tais como: os equipamentos do estúdio não eram de boa qualidade, o estúdio não era próprio para gravação de audiolivros, houve necessidade de troca da mesa de gravação, e o ruído do microfone foi ajustado por software para melhorar a qualidade da gravação. Os resultados da avaliação foram positivos, apesar dos problemas na gravação, o depoimento dos cegos demonstrou que a qualidade não foi comprometida, ou talvez a qualidade de outras gravações que eles já ouviram tenham sido piores.

Published: February 2025

O déficit hídrico provocado pela estiagem resulta em alterações morfológicas no milho, principalmente na fase inicial de desenvolvimento. Este trabalho objetivou verificar o desenvolvimento de quatro híbridos de milho sob diferentes frações de água no solo. Portanto, as cultivares de milho B2620 PWU (CA), AG8701 PRO 4 (CB), P3808 VYHR (CC) e DKB360 PRO 3 (CD) foram submetidas a um delineamento em blocos ao acaso (DBC) em esquema fatorial 4 x 2 x 5, com 4 repetições, sendo 4 híbridos de milho (CA, CB, CC e CD), 2 reposições hídricas (100 e 50% da evapotranspiração da cultura) e 5 épocas de avaliação (15, 22, 29, 36 e 43 dias após a emergência – DAE). Foram avaliados o crescimento por meio da altura de planta (AP), diâmetro do colmo (DC), número de folhas (NF), número de entrenós (NE) e área foliar (AF); a produtividade liquida por meio da massa seca foliar (MSF), massa seca da raiz (MSR) e a massa seca do colmo (MSC). A germinação foi avaliada por meio do percentual de germinação (PG) e do índice de velocidade de emergência (IVE). Os resultados mostraram que o híbrido DKB360 PRO 3 apresentou o menor desempenho nas variáveis analisadas e o híbrido com melhor crescimento, acúmulo de biomassa e emergência foi o AG8701 PRO 4. Independente do híbrido avaliado, observou-se que as maiores reposições hídricas favoreceram o crescimento e o acumulo de biomassa das plantas.

Published: February 2025

Este estudo analisou o perfil epidemiológico dos nascimentos na região Norte do Brasil em 2020 e 2021, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações de Nascidos Vivos (Sinasc). Foram examinadas variáveis como idade materna, escolaridade, tipo de parto, peso ao nascer, idade gestacional e escore de Apgar. Registraram-se 301.635 nascimentos em 2020 e 309.362 em 2021, com o Pará concentrando 44% desses eventos. Houve aumento nos escores de Apgar elevados (8 a 10), especialmente nos estados do Amazonas e Pará, indicando melhorias nos cuidados neonatais. No entanto, foi identificado um crescimento de 11,7% nos escores críticos (0 a 2), destacando desafios no manejo de complicações perinatais. Problemas como prematuridade e baixo peso ao nascer foram prevalentes, relacionados a desigualdades no acesso ao pré-natal de qualidade. Esses achados ressaltam a necessidade de investimentos em políticas públicas para reduzir as disparidades regionais no cuidado pré-natal e neonatal. Apesar de avanços na recuperação neonatal, persistem desafios em áreas com infraestrutura hospitalar limitada, afetando negativamente a saúde perinatal. Conclui-se que, embora melhorias tenham sido observadas, a desigualdade no acesso aos serviços de saúde ainda compromete o pleno desenvolvimento neonatal na região.

Published: February 2025

Seed germination, essential for plant survival—particularly under adverse conditions—starts with imbibition, which reactivates metabolic functions. In semi-arid regions, water availability is critical, making seeds' ability to withstand water restrictions vital. This study investigated the effects of pre-germination treatments on Spondias tuberosa seeds using different osmotic solutions to optimize germination under water scarcity. Seeds were immersed in polyethylene glycol (-0.2 MPa), mannitol (-0.2 MPa), glucose (-0.2 MPa), and water (control) for 24 to 120 hours. Water absorption, germination, vigor, dry mass, and seedling length were evaluated using a precision scale and a millimeter ruler. The seeds required 168 hours and 0.46 g of water absorption to initiate germination. Seeds in the polyethylene glycol solution germinated effectively, while other treatments did not significantly improve germination speed or uniformity. The control group achieved an average germination rate of 65%, with seedlings reaching an average shoot length of 5.27 cm and root length of 7.98 cm after 19 days. This study emphasizes the importance of identifying optimal treatments for seeds to adapt to restrictive conditions, which is crucial for establishing effective seed banks in semi-arid environments and for setting future thresholds in physiological studies.

Published: February 2025

As vulvovaginites são inflamações do trato genital feminino que afetam a vulva e a vagina, causadas por infecções bacterianas, fúngicas ou virais, além de fatores não infecciosos. Esta revisão bibliográfica objetiva caracterizar as vulvovaginites, descrevendo epidemiologia, diagnóstico e tratamento, com foco na candidíase vulvovaginal (CVV). A CVV recorrente (RCVV) é definida por quatro ou mais episódios anuais, sendo a Candida albicans responsável por 70% dos casos, enquanto espécies não albicans (NAC) estão associadas a infecções mais graves e refratárias a tratamentos com azólicos. A revisão foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Google Scholar, incluindo publicações até 2024 e diretrizes de organizações de saúde. Os resultados mostraram que 75% das mulheres terão pelo menos um episódio de CVV na vida, e 9% apresentarão RCVV. A patogênese envolve desequilíbrio da microbiota vaginal e fatores genéticos ou predisponentes do hospedeiro. O diagnóstico baseia-se em critérios clínicos e exames complementares. O tratamento inicial inclui fluconazol por 10 a 14 dias, seguido de terapia de manutenção por seis meses. A CVV é um problema significativo de saúde pública, exigindo manejo eficaz para minimizar recorrências e melhorar a qualidade de vida das pacientes. O controle de fatores predisponentes e o uso adequado de terapias prolongadas são essenciais para evitar complicações e agravos desnecessários.
Paradiplomacia ambiental: desafios e contribuições para a governança climática no século XXI
Authors: Dias Reinaldo
Published: February 2025

A paradiplomacia ambiental representa uma abordagem inovadora para enfrentar os desafios climáticos globais no século XXI. Governos subnacionais, como estados, municípios e regiões, têm se destacado como atores relevantes na governança climática, complementando e, por vezes, superando as limitações das políticas nacionais. Este estudo investiga o papel da paradiplomacia ambiental na formulação e implementação de políticas climáticas globais, utilizando uma revisão sistemática da literatura e análise de dados secundários. Exemplos como a liderança da Califórnia em políticas climáticas e a escolha de Belém como sede da COP30 ilustram como governos subnacionais podem influenciar agendas internacionais e promover soluções locais inovadoras. Redes transnacionais, como o C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, demonstram o potencial da colaboração global em escalar ações locais para alcançar impactos globais. No entanto, desafios permanecem, como desigualdades socioeconômicas e conflitos entre níveis de governança. A pesquisa conclui que a paradiplomacia ambiental é essencial para enfrentar a crise climática, mas requer maior coordenação entre atores globais e locais e uma integração mais profunda de justiça ambiental às práticas existentes. O estudo destaca a necessidade de ampliar o reconhecimento e o apoio a governos subnacionais na governança climática global.

Partículas finas representam um grande desafio para os métodos tradicionais de processamento mineral, visto que as mesmas tendem a serem perdidas nos rejeitos. Isto se aplica a partículas de ouro livre, que mesmo possuindo massa específica muito superior à ganga, se alinham com o fluxo de água e deixam os equipamentos de concentração com os rejeitos. A flotação se apresenta como uma técnica capaz de concentrar tais partículas. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar testes de caracterização tecnológica com amostras da alimentação da flotação da Ero Brasil unidade Xavantina/MT, de modo a investigar a possibilidade de recuperar partículas de ouro livre finas com o uso de um concentrador de laboratório Falcon L40, visto que este tipo de equipamento tem uma boa performance na empresa para partículas grosseiras. Em um teste foi possível obter uma recuperação metalúrgica de aproximadamente 28% de Au com razão de enriquecimento de 5,9. Já para o segundo teste foi possível obter uma razão de enriquecimento de aproximadamente 28,8, mas com recuperação metalúrgica de 18,64%. Os resultados obtidos sugerem para a adoção de um concentrador centrífugo antes da flotação pode trazer ganhos reais para o processo industrial.

Realizar uma síntese de química orgânica em um laboratório escolar pode ser uma tarefa complexa. A síntese do gás acetileno é uma prática experimental de fácil aplicação, mas requer vidrarias adequadas e exige um manuseio especial, por se tratar de um gás inflamável, limitando a experiência do aluno com o experimento. Pensando nisso, foi elaborado um kit de fácil obtenção e manuseio, que contém, predominantemente, materiais alternativos, tais como: câmara de ar de pneu, mangueiras de látex, parte de bureta com torneira e carbureto. Com o armazenamento do acetileno no interior da câmara de ar, é possível ter maior controle e segurança nos testes de combustão e técnicas de detecção do acetileno. O kit de síntese de acetileno oferece diversas vantagens em relação à técnica convencional, tais como facilidade no manuseio, maior segurança operacional e maior capacidade para realização de testes químicos relacionados com o gás acetileno. Desse modo, o kit experimental proposto pode favorecer uma melhor compreensão da química orgânica em sala de aula.
