Resumo Descrições anatômicas dos sacos aéreos de perdizes da espécie Rhynchotus rufescens são escassos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os sacos aéreos desta espécie. Foram coletados dez espécimes cadavéricos de perdizes adultas, com aproximadamente 1 ano de idade, e utilizada perfusão de látex para solidificação do material. O saco aéreo cervical na perdiz de asa vermelha é menor e tem uma conformação mais irregular do que outros sacos aéreos. Os sacos aéreos torácicos são simétricos e os sacos aéreos torácicos craniais são menores que os caudais. Os sacos aéreos abdominais são assimétricos e os maiores estendem-se até a cloaca. Foi encontrado apenas um saco aéreo clavicular, com três subdivisões: direito, esquerdo e medial. Além disso, foram encontradas porções extratorácicas direita e esquerda, passando sob a clavícula. Em um dos animais foram encontrados úmeros preenchidos com látex e em outras três costelas estavam presentes divertículos vertebrais. Não há uma relação clara entre taxonomia e biologia versus quantidade e conformação dos sacos aéreos, pois diferentes animais com proximidade taxonômica apresentam diferenças. Este estudo aumenta o conhecimento anatômico específico desta espécie de perdiz.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the implementation of the Kangaroo Method in a tertiary maternity hospital in the city of Recife. Method: Evaluative research analyzing the implementation of the 2nd and 3rd stages of the Kangaroo Method. Conducted between November 2021 and May 2022. A logical model of the Kangaroo Method and the respective matrix of indicators were developed, validated by the Delphi technique, referring to the structure, process, definers of the degree of implementation (implemented/partially implemented/incipient), and the outcomes. Professionals from the Kangaroo Unit (n=9), discharge clinic (n=2), basic health units (n=15), municipal manager (n=1) and parents (n=18) were interviewed; medical records were checked along with direct observation. Plausibility relations were established using a deductive approach based on the logical model to compare the degree of implementation of the Kangaroo Method with its outcomes. Results: The 2nd stage was partially implemented (79.2%), as was its integration with the 3rd stage (78.0%). The implementation of the 3rd stage was incipient (58.4%). The mothers adhered to the recommended care and a strengthened bond with their babies (100%). The children were followed up at the discharge clinic (100%), but only 38.8% are in primary health care. Professionals were trained in the maternity ward (90%) and in primary care (37.5%). Conclusion: The Kangaroo Method was partially implemented, showing greater fragility in follow-up after hospital discharge.

Published: January 2025

RESUMO Objetivou-se analisar como a leitura da configuração atual do karatê pode auxiliar a entender o estágio do processo civilizador em que estamos inseridos. Para a compreensão e interpretação das percepções e significados atribuídos aos cotidianos da academia de karatê, utilizou-se da etnografia e, em seguida, a análise configuracional, as quais produziram dois elementos de reflexão: a configuração do karatê e os elementos pedagógicos que transformam a configuração. Ao analisarmos o karatê, estamos pensando onde estamos nesse processo civilizador. No que se refere ao karatê como lazer, entendemos que ele está mais conectado com um espectro que transita entre a tradição e o novo, entre a espontaneidade e a autoconsciência.
REQUALIFICAÇÃO DE “VILAS URBANAS” E GOVERNANÇA COOPERATIVA NA QUESTÃO HABITACIONAL PARA POPULAÇÕES FLUTUANTES: EVIDÊNCIAS DE GRANDES CIDADES CHINESAS
Authors: Jin Xizan , Chen Lili , Zhou Jiale , Zhou Qinlong , Wang Song
Published: January 2025

RESUMO As vilas urbanas são um tipo de área urbana em declínio na China, marcada por aluguéis de baixo custo e por sua localização favorável a uma população flutuante. No entanto, essas vilas apresentam condições de habitação inferiores, externalidades negativas substanciais e um elevado potencial que motiva os governos a desenvolverem ações de requalificação urbana. Este estudo explora o modelo de governança cooperativa entre a requalificação de “vilas urbanas” e a habitação da população flutuante, centrando-se no bem-estar de tais populações por meio de um estudo de caso utilizando dados de entrevistas e análise de cenários. Os resultados observados no estudo de caso mostram que um modo de requalificação adequada tem o potencial de reduzir as dificuldades habitacionais das populações flutuantes, tais como poupar até 154 minutos de tempo de deslocamento por dia de trabalho e 150 dólares em custos mensais de habitação para cada migrante. Finalmente, sugere-se que o modo de requalificação inclusivo seja adotado para todas as futuras intervenções nas vilas urbanas. Considerando as diferentes características dessas vilas e os desejos dos proprietários, o governo pode seguir o modo de requalificação que envolve “requalificação abrangente + locação unificada + gestão de propriedade” ou “aluguel governamental + sistema de previdência social + locação de habitação pública para arrendamento”.

Changing Disability Status and Changes in Health, Participation Restrictions and Activity Limitations in Denmark: Does the Choice of Measure Matter?
Authors: Amilon Anna , Christensen Mads Lybech
Published: January 2025

Significant proportions of individuals respond inconsistently over time to disability questions in surveys. However, it is unclear why such changes in disability status arise. This study is the first to explore the prevalence and determinants of changes in disability status for two internationally recognized and widely used disability survey measures: the Washington Group Short Set on Functioning (WG-SS) and the Global Activity Limitation Indicator (GALI). We use Danish longitudinal survey data collected in 2016 and 2020 on 10,586 respondents aged 16–64 to systematically compare within-person changes in disability status. For both measures, changing disability status is more prevalent than consistent disability status. Moreover, changing disability status is associated with the corresponding changes in health, participation restrictions and activity limitations. Individuals with consistent disability status are in a more disadvantaged situation than individuals with changing disability status. Including questions about duration of disability in surveys may help identify respondents affected by accumulated disability-related disadvantage.
Optimization of chromium precipitation from ferrochrome leach solutions
Authors: Nyangadzayi T.V. , Ntuli F.
Published: January 2025

Chromium green is an essential metal with various applications in the paints, construction, electronics, and aerospace industries. The main source of chromium green is the carbo-thermic reduction of chromite ores, however, chromite ores are being heavily depleted on a global scale, hence the need to find alternative or secondary sources for the chromium. In order to meet the global demand for chromium there is a need to implement principles of the sustainable circular economy to keep chromium within the material loop. Ferrochrome slag and stainless steel slags are secondary resources that are potential sources of chromium. In this work, recovery of chromium from ferrochrome slag was investigated. The ferrochrome slag was alkaline leached using sodium hydroxide- sodium hypochlorite solution to reduce the use of potent reagents that have a potential negative environmental impact.
The leachate produced by oxidative alkaline leaching of ferrochrome slag contained hexavalent chromium, which was used to recover the extracted chromium through a two-stage process involving reduction and precipitation. Reduction of hexavalent Cr to trivalent Cr was investigated using anhydrous FeSO4 at concentrations of 5 g/L, 10 g/L, and 15 g/L. Precipitation was conducted by dosing the reduced leach solution with 1 M sodium hydroxide at dosages of 5 ml/L, 10 ml/L, and 15 ml/L. The experiments were designed using the Taguchi (L9) orthogonal array and analysed according to the ANOVA, general linear model. The optimized conditions for the reduction step were ferrous sulfate dosage of 5 g/L with a pH of 12, and for the precipitation step, 1 M sodium hydroxide at a dosage of 15 ml/L with a setting time of 90 minutes and pH of 7. Physical changes were observed during the two-step chromium recovery, with solution changing from a yellowish colour to dark green colour indicating completion of the reaction. The chromium recovery was found to be 93.3%.
DESAFIOS DA DISSEMINAÇÃO INTERESTADUAL DE POLÍTICAS EDUCACIONAIS NA FEDERAÇÃO BRASILEIRA
Authors: Cardoso de Araujo Gilda , Andreon Saulo
Published: January 2025

Based on the scenario of a low degree of national coordination in the educational policy of the Brazilian federation, the article aims to identify and discuss the challenges, mechanisms and contexts that motivated, in 2016, the decision by the government of Espírito Santo to adopt and institutionalize the Pact for Learning (PAES) inspired by the collaborative regime program of the state of Ceará. To achieve the proposed objective, this case study was based on exploratory research with qualitative bibliographic and documentary studies, linked to the concept of public policy diffusion. The results showed that the adoption of the program was consolidated through cooperation and learning mechanisms and that the policy adopted had, in its conception, a certain structural rigidity that disregarded local contexts and factors. The discussions emphasized the central role played by the National Council of Education Secretaries and third sector institutions in fostering a network of horizontal interaction that encouraged the spread of ideas and successful public policy models. It was concluded that the adoption of the program was an isolated government decision and that social protagonism was not taken into account in the policy formulation and construction stages. Finally, it was inferred that the lack of a National Education System compromises articulation and cooperation between education systems.
A comprehensive evaluation of ai techniques for air quality index prediction: RNNs and transformers
Authors: Buestán Andrade Pablo Andrés , Carrión Zamora Pedro Esteban , Chamba Lara Anthony Eduardo , Pazmiño Piedra Juan Pablo
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Transformer-based models in predicting the Air Quality Index (AQI). Accurate AQI prediction is critical for mitigating the significant health impacts of air pollution and plays a vital role in public health protection and environmental management. The research compares traditional RNN models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks, with advanced Transformer architectures. Data were collected from a weather station in Cuenca, Ecuador, focusing on key pollutants such as CO, NO2, O3, PM2.5, and SO2. Model performance was assessed using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the Coefficient of Determination (R2). The findings reveal that the LSTM model achieved superior performance, with an R2 of 0.701, an RMSE of 0.087, and an MAE of 0.056, demonstrating superior capability in capturing temporal dependencies within complex datasets. Conversely, while Transformer-based models exhibited potential, they were less effective in handling intricate time-series data, resulting in comparatively lower accuracy. These results position the LSTM model as the most reliable approach for AQI prediction, offering an optimal balance between predictive accuracy and computational efficiency. This research contributes to improving AQI forecasting and underscores the importance of timely interventions to mitigate the harmful effects of air pollution.
Convolutional neural networks for diabetic retinopathy detection

Published: January 2025

The early detection of diabetic retinopathy remains a critical challenge in medical diagnostics, with deep learning techniques in artificial intelligence offering promising solutions for identifying pathological patterns in retinal images. This study evaluates and compares the performance of three convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures ResNet-18, ResNet-50, and a custom, non-pretrained CNN using a dataset of retinal images classified into five categories. The findings reveal significant differences in the models' ability to learn and generalize. The non-pretrained CNN consistently outperformed the pretrained ResNet-18 and ResNet-50 models, achieving an accuracy of 91% and demonstrating notable classification stability. In contrast, ResNet-18 suffered severe performance degradation, with accuracy dropping from 70% to 26%, while ResNet-50 required extensive tuning to improve its outcomes. The non-pretrained CNN excelled in handling class imbalances and capturing complex diagnostic patterns, emphasizing the potential of tailored architectures for medical imaging tasks. These results underscore the importance of designing domain-specific architectures, demonstrating that model complexity does not necessarily guarantee better performance. Particularly in scenarios with limited datasets, well-designed custom models can surpass pre-trained architectures in diagnostic imaging applications.

Authors: Carboni Solange Cristina , Okimoto Fernando Sérgio
Published: January 2025

The permacultural planning at EEEI Professor Arlindo Fantini School proposes guidelines and concrete measures aimed at transforming the school environment into a space for integrated practices with nature. The curricular contents can be experienced within the school itself, and external visits may be considered merely supplementary. The use of the permacultural methodology by FERREIRA; OKIMOTO; PAIVA (2024) will allow for the efficiency of activities and alignment with the school's natural and anthropic processes. Agroecology and bioconstruction in a dialogical relationship with social technologies will enact a systemic approach to sustainability in the planet's consumption, seeking not only to create a fairer, adaptable, and sustainable environment but also to promote a positive change in the way the school interacts with the environment and its members. This permaculture project aims to create a space that is not only productive but also resilient, sustainable, and educational. It is concluded that integrating the principles of permaculture into the school's experience and consumption should promote a harmonious coexistence between the school community and the environment.

Published: January 2025

The transformation of the planning structure of the city of Chernihiv, starting from the 10th century, is analyzed. The peculiarities of the development and construction of the city in the 17th-20th centuries are considered. The main reasons that led to the replanning, reconstruction, expansion of the city, implementation of measures for the improvement of the territory in certain periods of Chernihiv development are outlined. The main features of the modern functional and planning structure of the city are presented. The dangers associated with changing the appearance of the urban space were analyzed, and priority directions for further optimization of the planning structure of Chernihiv were emphasized.

The growth of the population, the deepening of their influence on the environment and the scientific and technological revolution caused the emergence of new complex tasks associated with the progressive development of cities. Among them: the acceleration of the rate of urbanization, environmental pollution, changes in the structure of the city's economy, infrastructure complications, an increase in resources and costs to meet the needs of the population, a significant number of potential threats, etc. The relevance and socio-economic value of the study of urban territories contributed to the integration of many scientific disciplines in the direction of creating urban concepts for optimizing the space for the life of the population.

The purpose of the article is a historical-geographical analysis of the transformation of the planning structure of Chernihiv. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were selected in the study: consider the transformations of the planning structure of Chernihiv starting from the 10th century; reveal the features of the development and construction of the city in the 17th-20th centuries; outline the main reasons that led to the re-planning, reconstruction, expansion of Chernihiv in different periods of development; find out the main features of the modern functional and planning structure of the city.
A model for exploring modernist novellas in training pre-service secondary school teachers
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Bashkyrova Olha
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Teaching methodology experts have long recognised the significance of applying literary terminology in analysing fiction texts in schools. Students often face difficulties using terms due to the mechanical approach to learning these concepts and the lack of proper systematisation. There is a pressing need for education majors to systematically and consciously incorporate the main categories of literary theory into classroom practice. A crucial aspect of their professional training involves mastering a coherent and logical framework for analysing literary works, particularly modernist novellas.

Research objectives. The aim of this article is to establish a model for practically implementing a technology for analysing modernist novellas through a structural and stylistic approach. The analysis is based on Volodymyr Vynnychenko's novella, "The Moment." This particular work was chosen to test the analytical model due to the significant challenges that modernist literature presents in educational settings.

Methodology. The educational model for analysing modernist novellas is based on structural and stylistic approaches. The purpose of this model is to identify the aesthetic dominant of the author's work while considering its correlation with the leading trends of the epoch and the literary movement to which the author belongs. To support this, methods of analysis and synthesis are utilised to uphold the principle of the integrity of a literary work. Comparative and typological methods highlight the artistic specificity of short fiction genres. Comparative and historical methods allow for comparing the worldview and aesthetic foundations of both realist and modernist writing. For the practical implementation of this analytical model, the leading instructional methods include heuristic conversations and posing problematic questions.

Results and discussion. The model under discussion consists of several key components. It involves ideological and aesthetic elements of an individual author's style, specific artistic techniques employed by the author, the genre features of a work, and the characteristics of the artistic movement to which the writer belongs. The model is based on several guiding principles, including the recognition that a work of fiction is the primary component of the literary process and that the work must be viewed as an aesthetic whole formed by the interaction of all its elements. The anticipated outcomes of using this model in school education include a thoughtful and informed use of literary studies terminology, an appreciation for the significance of individual works of art in literary progress, and a comprehensive understanding of the multilevel nature of literary works.

Published: January 2025

This paper presents an original mathematical model for determining thermobaric parameters of gathering lines, accounting for convective heat transfer and turbulent core formation within the gas gathering pipeline cavity. The presented mathematical model characterizes heat transfer, heat exchange, and turbulent core behavior through two dimensionless coefficients. Additionally, the work introduces a novel equation for natural gas moisture content determination, enabling more precise calculations of methanol inhibition processes in gas gathering lines (field pipelines). The inhibitor calculation methodology presented herein can be applied for hydrate elimination upon their formation in gas gathering lines. The methodology incorporates considerations of gas-hydrate phase transition, pipeline operating conditions, flow rate parameters, pressure variables, temperature metrics, and inhibitor concentration factors. Methodology verification was conducted utilizing field data obtained from an operational gas field in the Krasnodar region.
Formation of the Area of Initial Conditions for Aerial Launches of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Authors: Kim N.V. , Pokhodenko M.V.
Published: January 2025

The air launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transported by an aircraft carrier is considered. It is shown that in order to perform an acceptable start with the specified initial conditions for the height and speed of the carrier, it is necessary to pre-launch the autopilot parameters, which ensures the limitation of the angular velocities of the UAV during the passage of the interference layer formed around the carrier. The adjustable parameters are the coefficients of the PID controllers in the UAV angular velocity stabilization circuits. The calculation of the required coefficients is performed by the developed algorithm based on the method of differential evolution. Test modeling of transients confirms the operability and applicability of the proposed approach. The evaluation of the results of calculating the desired coefficients of PID controllers by the differential evolution algorithm showed the possibility of significantly expanding the range of initial conditions of air launches compared with the initial conditions calculated by a human operator.
Responsibility for Bad Beliefs and Moral Relativism
Authors: Komar Olena
Published: January 2025

In this article, I argue in defense of responsibility for bad beliefs from the perspective of ethics of belief and cognitive science, providing a classification of bad beliefs into three types. I also present arguments in support of the regulative value of truth.

Metaethical moral relativism alters the understanding of the basic tenets of the ethics of beliefs and also undermines the idea of truth as a fundamental epistemic good. There are potential epistemic pitfalls associated with moral relativism, including its use to support bad beliefs, where truth becomes relative to the benefit of a group or those in power, thus undermining the very concept of truth. Although Clifford’s classic principle is overly demanding, moral responsibility should be required for the way beliefs are acquired, since epistemically ill-formed beliefs tend to become morally and epistemically bad under unfavorable social conditions.
Lituanistic Motifs in the Writings of the Secondary School Teachers of the Kingdom of Poland
Authors: Kula Ewa Teresa
Published: January 2025

This paper presents the profiles of ten pedagogues teaching between 1833–1915 in secondary schools of the Kingdom of Poland, who had authored texts testifying to their interest in the history and culture of Lithuania, or had announced such works in progress. The depolonisation process initiated on the territories of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the territories of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth both incorporated into Russia after the November Uprising at the end of the 18th century meant the Russification of these lands. Among the many restrictions, it meant enforcing the conversion of the Latin alphabet to Russian as well as banning the publication of any Lithuanian prints using the former throughout the Russian Empire. The teachers featured in this paper contributed to the development of Lithuanian studies and culture as well as their dissemination, moreover these works were published in the Kingdom of Poland in Polish, Lithuanian and German.

Zhu Sheng’s Tale (주생전) by writer Gwol Pil (권필) is one of the next long-term novels of the Korean medieval legend genre of the late 16th and early 17th centuries (after the opening calculation of Tales of Mount Geumo and Strange Tales from a Korean Studio). Choosing the topic of love between a man, an actor. and a woman, a beautiful woman, the writer sought to let the characters challenge the constraints of feudal rites, and aim to praise and affirm the personal aspect of humanity, thus, the main focus is romatic relationship between men and women. The plot organization combines nonfictional and fictional factors, with a single line, but there are more events and the narrative is more diverse than previous works of the same type. Although the character system is not much, the personalization aspect is given more attention. This contribution is profound in Korean medieval legends that we set and explain in this article.

Published: January 2025

Gao Xingjian (1940- ) and Nguyen Huy Thiep (1950-2021) can be considered as two writers of the same generation. Both of them observed similar social alterations and events in their own countries which happened for half of the century, from the 1950s of the 20th century till the first two decades of the 21st century. Despite being a universal experience across several generations, these events created incomparable impacts and consequences. Therefore, any “coincidences” that are either inevitable or coincidental between two distinct individuals working in the same field are truly fascinating. This essay highlights the prominent aspects of life, career and writing concept that appear to be quite identical between the two writers – two unique literary phenomena in the end of the 20th century.

Nowadays, the wave of globalization has influenced every field, encouraging the extension of the domestic literature which was previously confined within their philosophy to the global literature. Through the interdimensional exchange of cultural products via publication and translation, several trends of writing, authors, and literary works were widespread. This circumstance also brings various non-literary effects of other art forms into the literature, which deepens the internal relationships of literary dynamics in their own country while forming new relationships between the literature and other cultural elements. These relationships might be well analyzed and researched by Comparative literature (Littérature comparée). East Asian countries such as China and Japan, whose cultures are representatives of the continent’s culture and are ”bridgeheads” of the East-West interaction, can be considered note-worthy cases in the history of World Literature, particularly in the history of Comparative Literature. This essay affirms the significance of Comparative Literature and focuses on tracing the formation and development of this literary research field in China.

This article delves into the traditional antithesis in Yi Mun-yol's (이문열) short story Garuda through narrative discourse analysis. It explores the discursive strategies Yi Mun-yol employs to establish traditional antithesis, including poetics of character, reinterpretation, and contextual shift. The author portrays the struggle between the new and the old through the conflicts within the character system. The strategy of reinterpretation provides a different understanding of traditional discourse. Meanwhile, contextual shift creates an intersection between the past and the present. These discourse strategies offer a unique literary space, promoting creativity. The study emphasizes that Yi Mun-yol's works contribute to the restructuring of traditional values, enriching the contemporary Korean literary landscape.

Rhetorical narratology was introduced in W. Booth's research work titled The Rhetoric of Fiction (1961), opening up a new tendency for studying narratives. In the rhetorical aspects of this theory, the narrator exists as an important code in the author's coding process and, at the same time, becomes an implied author's main tool in creating his artistic world and persuading readers about a certain issue. Based on the rhetorical theory of the narrator, a crucial factor in the rhetorical narratological framework, the paper aims to examine Nguyen Binh Phuong's novel A Mediocre Example, which focuses on decoding the phenomenon of the diversification of narrators. From there, we can recognize Nguyen Binh Phuong's contribution to narratological methods in the field of narratology in Vietnam and the development of contemporary Vietnamese literature.

Social integration is an issue of concern for disadvantaged groups, including orphans at social assistance facilities. Social work with the functions of prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation plays an important role in supporting social integration for orphans at social assistance facilities. The research was conducted at SOS Children's Villages and Birla Hanoi, the survey sample included 174 orphan children and 16 officials and employees conducted from 2018-2021. The results show that social work activities in supporting social integration for orphans including educational support and career guidance; health care and medical support; and psychological and social support are provided regularly, in many forms, and meet the needs of children. However, there are still some limitations such as not paying attention to the differences of each group of children, and not promoting children's potential and capacity in social integration. Therefore, there is a need for solutions to improve the effectiveness of social work activities such as professionalizing and specifying support activities, strengthening connections, and mobilizing resources in supporting orphans.

After the French colonialists fundamentally completed the military pacification in Vietnam, they began to exploit the colony. Vietnamese villages played an important role in social life as long-standing autonomous and self-contained entities. Therefore, the colonial administration implemented the "Administrative Reform” policy with the ambition to intervene and control the internal affairs of the villages. The administrative reform underwent three phases, starting in 1921 and ending in 1945 in most localities in Tonkin, including Cam Khe district, Phu Tho province. The French colonialists forced the villages to change their management apparatus according to the decrees and general pattern of the village conventions they issued. However, each village had its customs and practices. Hence, this article will focus on introducing the village management apparatus, clarifying three customs in the village conventions: marriage, honour celebration, and funeral, through the reformed village conventions.

Authors: Ngoc Tru Pham
Published: January 2025

This research proposes strategic solutions for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to develop eco-industrial parks in the Red River Delta region through 2030, with a vision for 2050. The author's proposed solutions are grounded in a comprehensive analysis of the current status and developmental trends of eco-industrial park models, forecasted impacts of international and domestic contexts on FDI flows, and the competitive advantages of the Red River Delta region in attracting FDI specifically for eco-industrial parks. Regarding the development plan, the research focuses on proposing spatial distribution strategies across two sub-regions, the optimal number of industrial parks, and parks as well as the orientation to attract key industries in eco-industrial parks. To enhance FDI attraction effectiveness for eco-industrial park development, the author proposes concentrated implementation of solutions in three critical areas: infrastructure modernization, specialized development support policies, and regional linkages in promoting foreign direct investment.
On the Cause of US’s Abstaining from Voting for UN Security Council Resolution 2728 (2024)
Authors: Maulana Muhammad Alfian
Published: January 2025

This study examined the rationale behind the United States (US) abstention from UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2728, March 25, 2024, which called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict. This research used the Politics of Absence theory to explain the motives behind the abstention. The framework drew on Suzanne Dovi's Typology of Absence, which provides a foundation for understanding strategic objectives such as protection, protest, and partition, which explain state abstention in international voting. With a qualitative approach, this study found that the US decision was driven by the protection of national interests, dissatisfaction with the failure of the resolution to condemn Hamas, and an inclination to explore alternative conflict resolution mechanisms.

Secondly, symbolic politics involves using symbols and stories to influence public opinion and policy through various campaigns and slogans on social media. Third, leverage politics was used to pressure the Pakistani government through documentary films and appointing public figures as Goodwill Ambassadors. Finally, accountability politics focuses on monitoring the honor-killing phenomenon by implementing the principles of CEDAW. Then, there is a decrease in the number of honor killings, although not too significant, but it is the beginning of efforts to overcome honor killings in Pakistan. UNWOMEN's efforts aim to provide support and encouragement to the government and Pakistani society to jointly commit to eliminating honor killing. This article makes an important contribution to the role of international organizations in combating human rights violations in Pakistan.
