Published: June 2024

The benefit of using Big Data in uncovering criminal cases is its ability to trace the digital footprint of criminals. The purpose of this paper is to find out the use of big data in criminal cases by the Indonesian National Police. A digital footprint is a physical copy of photos, voice posts, and a criminal event that can be traced to reveal the perpetrator’s crime. Indonesian Police investigators do not need to spend a lot of time searching and verifying digital footprints because Big Data can be used to collect such information for analysis to find both the criminal events and the perpetrators. The use of big data in disclosing a crime has not been institutionalized in the investigation process carried out by the Indonesian Police investigators, due to the influence of the Negatief Wettelijk Bewijsleer-based proof system applicable in the proof system of the Criminal Procedure Code. The problem of this paper is how to uncover criminal cases by utilizing Big Data. A doctrinal approach was used to answer the problem. The results of the study indicate that the use of Big Data by the Indonesian Police investigators has not been followed by a regulation in the form of a criminal policy in the framework of evidence based on the Criminal Procedure Code. Digital evidence in the legal system in Indonesia has been regulated in the Law on Electronic Information and Transaction, but it has not been followed by an integrated coherence in the criminal proof system in the Criminal Procedure Code.

Authors: Al-Jabra Ali , Al-Afaishat Muneer , Arabyat Mohammad
Published: June 2024

Jordanian society has grown concerned as the number of children with unknown parentage has gradually increased. It is important to note that when we refer to a foster child, we really mean a child whose parents are unknown and who is nurtured, raised, protected, and supported by an alternative family known as a foster family. These families have various commitments and responsibilities to uphold. For example, fosterers shall not give their family name to the foster child as a member of their natural family, placing him in endangerment, neglecting him, or abusing him. In the case that a child was a victim of such crimes, the legislator mandated that he have many guarantees, including being represented by the Public Prosecution office, quick decision of the crimes committed against him, and being transferred to a safe location. The current study aimed to shed light on the areas of criminal protection established in the Jordanian legislation, to show the extent of its adequacy and integration, and the success of the legislator in deciding adequate legal protection for the child in custody. The first chapter presented the concept of criminal protection for the foster child, its definition, and its reasons. The second topic dealt with the objective and procedural aspects of criminal protection for the foster child. Finally, the last chapter includes the results, conclusion, and recommendations.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Adolescent girls with self-harming behavior experience difficulties in emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility. One of the approaches that can be effective in this regard is self-compassion training. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion training on emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility in adolescent girls with self-harming behavior. Methods and Materials: The research method was quasi-experimental, using a pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up design. The statistical population consisted of adolescent girls with self-harming behavior who referred to counseling centers in District 16 of Tehran in 2022. Through purposive sampling, 30 eligible participants were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups of 15 each. They completed the Garnefski and Kraaij (2016) Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the Dennis and Vander Wal (2010) Cognitive Flexibility Inventory at three stages. The Gilbert (2014) self-compassion training program was conducted in eight 60-minute individual sessions for the experimental group, and data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Findings: The results indicated that self-compassion training significantly increased positive emotion regulation strategies and cognitive flexibility while reducing negative emotion regulation strategies in girls with self-harming behavior. This effect persisted at the follow-up stage (P<0.001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that self-compassion training increases the likelihood of using positive emotion regulation strategies and cognitive flexibility in girls with self-harming behavior while reducing the likelihood of using negative emotion regulation strategies. Self-compassion training enhances individuals' mindfulness and prevents the process of over-identification. This profound experience leads individuals to cease self-judgment and self-criticism, experience self-acceptance, and gain greater awareness of their thoughts and emotions.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Disability of any type and in any form often leads to mental crises by causing anxiety, worry, reduced self-confidence, and psychological difficulties. The present study aimed to predict mental health and self-esteem based on perceived social support in youth with physical disabilities in Tehran. Methods and Materials: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population consisted of youth aged 20-35 with physical disabilities from seven centers for individuals with disabilities in Tehran in 2023, totaling approximately 1500 individuals. Of this population, 400 were accessible samples (characteristics of the samples included: having only physical disabilities and being aged 20-35), of which 250 were male, and the rest were female. From this number, 196 young people, both male and female, were randomly selected and participated in the tests according to the Morgan table. The research instruments included the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support by Zimet et al. (1988), the General Health Questionnaire by Goldberg (1972), and the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (1967). Data analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis with SPSS version 27. Findings: The results of the study showed that the components of family, others, and perceived social support could predict mental health. The findings indicate that perceived social support (b=2.170) was identified as the strongest predictor of mental health. Additionally, perceived social support and its components could not predict self-esteem, and thus the second hypothesis was not confirmed with 95% confidence. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that perceived social support can predict mental health.

Authors: Issa Kazeem , Sulaiman Murtala H. , Olabamidele Esther , Abdullahi Ayinde M.
Published: June 2024

In this article, the Galerkin-Vieta-Lucas scheme is presented to find an approximate solution to the generalised delay integro-differential equation using the Vieta-Lucas polynomial as an approximation. The Galerkin approach transforms the delay integro-differential equation into a set of n × (n + m) algebraic equations, which, together with the attached conditions, give (n + m) × (n + m) equations. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed technique were tested on some existing examples in the literature, and obviously, the results obtained justify the accuracy of the proposed scheme.
Los años sesenta y setenta en Bolivia: el indianismo y el cristianismo de liberación como formas de impugnación a las dictaduras
Authors: Kovalskis Melisa Yael
Published: June 2024

El trabajo aborda dos corrientes de pensamiento y acción que tuvieron un desarrollo importante en la década de los sesenta y setenta en Bolivia y formaron parte de un movimiento más amplio de resistencia e impugnación a las dictaduras: el indianismo (en su período formativo) y una fracción del cristianismo de liberación, la que se involucró con el sector campesino indígena, como los jesuitas nucleados en el Centro de Investigación y Promoción del Campesinado (CIPCA) o los sacerdotes oblatos. Así, se considera que Bolivia no fue ajena a un clima de época latinoamericano donde florecieron las ideas de liberación y revolución social, pero estas tuvieron un desarrollo particular que se explica por la estructura social de un país con un gran porcentaje de población campesina indígena y que había vivido una revolución en la década anterior. La intención del trabajo es establecer vínculos, entrecruzamientos y tensiones entre las dos corrientes mencionadas y ubicarlas en el amplio espectro de las ideas de la época, muchas de las cuales formaron parte del movimiento que resistió a las dictaduras.

This study investigated the potential of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as a delivery platform for etodolac to improve its efficacy and mitigate these adverse effects. ZnO NPs possess several attractive properties for drug delivery applications, including low toxicity, biodegradability, and the ability to target specific tissues. In this study, etodolac was successfully loaded onto ZnO NPs, and the resulting nanocomposites were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FT-IR analysis confirmed the successful loading of etodolac onto the ZnO NPs. Additionally, SEM images revealed morphological changes on the surface of the nanocomposites compared to pure ZnO NPs, further indicating successful drug loading. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of developing etodolac-loaded ZnO NPs as a promising approach for targeted drug delivery. Further studies are warranted to investigate the vivo efficacy and safety of these nanocomposites, paving the way for their potential clinical application.

Background: One of the leading causes of female infertility is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Adiponectin is one of many adipokines adipose tissue releases that affect insulin resistance (IR).
Objective: To measure PCOS participants' IR, adiponectin, and serum insulin levels.
Materials and Procedures: a case-control study involving 80 patients with PCOS (40 obese and 40 nonobese) and 80 controls (40 obesity and 40 nonobese). Adiponectin was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, while serum levels of insulin and FBS were measured using a chemiluminescent automated immunoassay system (ECL).
Results: Regardless of body mass index and PCOS, women had lower levels of adiponectin and higher levels of blood fasting glucose, insulin, and IR compared to the relevant with a p-value of ≤0.001 for controls. Conclusion: According to weight, blood adiponectin levels inversely correspond to IR. It can, therefore, act as an indicator in PCOS-affected women.

Background: A chronic inflammatory process of the airways is a common characteristic of asthma, representing a primary health problem. This disease can infect people of all ages, about 3.5-20 % of the population, but it usually begins in childhood. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between interleukin-15 and pediatric asthma severity.
Methods: The current study is a case-control study that includes 60 asthmatic participants as the patient group and 60 non-asthmatic participants as the control group. Sandwich ELISA using an ELISA kit can be used for the measurement of IL-15 and IgE serum levels. Results: Elevated serum level of IgE in the patients group compared with a control group with significant (P= 0.005) was a result of this study, and there were no significant differences between patients and control about IL- 15 serum levels with (P= 0.968) in asthmatic children.
Conclusions: According to the present study, there was a non-significant association between the severity of asthma and the serum level of IL-15 in children.

Background: Fibrocystic breast disease is the most typical benign breast disease, which is seen in women worldwide with features of pain and feeling of nodules. Its diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound, mammography, and in doubt cases, biopsy is indicated. For assessment of the breast, we clinically examined the breast, axilla, and both supra and infraclavicular regions for lymph node assessment, followed by ultrasound examination. Detection of lesions in any breast quadrant assessed by BIRADs, Breast Imaging Reporting, and Data System grouped in five brackets. Scanning by sonography using B-mode and Doppler study was improved for detecting and characterizing benign and malignant lesions.
Objective: To assess a breast lesion by ultrasound with features suggestive of a benign or malignant nature. Method: This study included 210 women aged 20 - 45 who visited a clinic from October 2020 to April 2022 and were examined by ultrasound machine Samsung HS50 (KOREA) with an LA3-14AD probe. B-mode images obtained detection of the lesion, and we also used Doppler ultrasound for assessment of the vascularity of the lesion. The BI-RADS system was used for the categorization of all findings.
Result: In 210 women, complaints of lumps were involved in our study. Imaging by B-mode ultrasound using the Doppler study assesses the vascularity of the lesion and provides more characterization of benign and malignant lesions. By B–mode imaging, 99 patients had regular ultrasound study, and 79 patients had simple cysts that appeared well defined, had familiar outlines, and had an anechoic rounded or oval shape with posterior enhancement. Twenty-eight patients with fibroadenoma visualized as round or oval-shaped hypoechoic lesions horizontally oriented to the planes of the breast with lateral shadowing. 2 patients had complex cysts that appear as well-defined, irregular outlines, rounded shape, a thick wall with internal echoes with posterior enhancement. 2 patients have a malignant lesion that appears ill-defined rough outline vertically oriented with breast planes and show posterior shadowing. Conclusion: Ultrasound was established as the most suitable imaging modality for the categorization of breast lesions and exclusion of malignancy, which is helpful for evading unnecessary biopsies.

The association of heart diseases with type 2 diabetes, especially myocardial infarction, calls for a search for biomarkers that have a relationship between the two. Which facilitates the process of reducing the development of myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes. The most prominent of these associations is long-term inflammation and its first and largest factor is interleukin 6, and its close association with A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM-17) and its inverse relationship with type 2 diabetic patients with and without myocardial infarction. This study aims to investigate the role of ADAM-17 in the pathogenesis of diabetic type 2 Iraqi men patients with and without MI by comparing them with a apparantely helthy as control group and to see their association with interleukin-6 levels and other biomarkers. The current study was conducted on 90 Iraqi men between Ja., 2023 and Aug. 2023, 60 samples with T2DM with or without MI and the remaining 30 as apparently healthy control. The patients were selected from the visitors of the coronary care unit (CCU) and Al-Hassan Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology in Kerbala, and they were diagnosed clinically and by laboratory investigations. Various biomarkers such as ADAM-17 and IL-6 have been determined by different biochemical techniques. As a result The highest ADAM-17 and IL-6 level in type 2 diabetes without myocardial infarction was seen as comparison serum levels of IL-6, and ADAM-17 for T2DM (with or without myocardial infarction) with the control group. The correlation between IL-6 and ADAM-17 is strong in type-2 diabetes without MI and between IL-6 and electrocardiogram represented by the two types STEM and NSTEMI in type-2 diabetes with MI. In conclusion, The current study found that ADAM-17 and IL-6 have a negative effect on chronic inflammation as in T2DM without MI is more severe than acute inflammation as T2DM with MI , du to elevation of ADAM-17 and IL-6 levels in type 2 diabetic patients without MI than type 2 diabetic patient with MI.
