Objetiva-se demonstrar os impasses e contradições na aplicação de políticas públicas voltadas para processo de reinserção da pessoa egressa da prisão no retorno ao convívio em ambiente extramuros prisionais. Considerando essa condição, pretende-se também apresentar problematizações para uma grave questão social na atualidade: a criminalidade e a exponencial prática de encarceramento. O método científico aplicado foi o bibliográfico e histórico-dialético com o sentido de observar o constante movimento dos fenômenos históricos e sociais no que tange à aplicação de penas, em termos de suas mudanças ao longo da história, sendo incialmente o seu objetivo, aplicar castigo, dor e, por muitas vezes, a morte aos que se voltavam contra os ditames dos regimes monarquicos e eclesiásticos. Sendo esse processo de punição considerado demasiadamente desumano, muitas críticas foram lançadas. A grande mudança ocorreu quando a pena se configurou com fins de correção e controle social para as pessoas ditas delinquentes. O presente estudo analisou ainda informações obtidas de institutos de pesquisa que confirmaram o aumento vertiginoso da prática de encarceramento, no Brasil, posicionando-se na contramão da grande maioria dos países. Contraditoriamente, em nosso país, as instituições prisionais não têm estrutura para comportar a massa carcerária produzida, além do que, as assistências à saúde, material, jurídica, educacional, social e religiosa, garantidas pela Lei de Execuções Penais, em menor ou maior grau são parcialmente cumpridas, quando o são. Enfim, constata-se que este ciclo de encarceramento em massa, se repete, tendo o condão de aumentar, ao invés de diminuir a violência na sociedade e que nos segmentos mais vulneráveis à violência  encontramos a população negra, pobre, jovem e periférica, estigmatizada por critérios puramentos ideológicos, econômicos, geográficos e raciais.
Atividade in vitro de óleo de Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata Jacq.) em formas evolutivas de Giardia lamblia
Authors: Camargo Amanda Rodrigues , De Oliveira Heliana Batista
Published: February 2024

A giardíase é uma infecção parasitária causada pelo protozoário Giardia lamblia que acomete mais de 300 milhões de pessoas por ano mundialmente. É uma doença de grande importância global em saúde pública e sua forma de transmissão dificulta os meios de controle e prevenção da mesma. As manifestações clínicas dessa parasitose variam entre infecções assintomáticas e sintomáticas, sendo os casos de doenças crônicas gastrointestinais e diarreicas os mais graves entre crianças e pessoas imunocomprometidas, pois pode causar distúrbios no desenvolvimento infantil ou levar à morte nos casos onde há alta carga parasitária. O tratamento convencional utilizado para a giardíase é o metronidazol, medicamento que apresenta eficácia contra o parasito, porém seu uso oferece efeitos adversos aos pacientes. Além disso, a administração frequente de fármacos para tratar a doença tem levado a quadros de reinfecção, persistência à terapêutica e resistência do parasito aos medicamentos, o que torna necessário a busca por tratamentos alternativos. Compostos naturais como extratos e óleos de origem vegetal têm demonstrado atividades antiparasitárias em estudos laboratoriais e, portanto, esses se mostram como opções promissoras de agentes potenciais no tratamento de parasitoses. A macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), palmeira presente em todo o Brasil, se apresenta como opção de uso para o tratamento de parasitoses, pois seus frutos produzem substâncias que têm propriedades anti-inflamátorias conhecidas e outras características que precisam ser descobertas porque podem ter potencial terapêutico para serem usados para tal finalidade. Diante disso, o objetivo deste projeto foi avaliar o potencial giardicida dos óleos obtidos da macaúba através de teste experimental in vitro. Os trofozoítos de G. lamblia foram transportados em tubo Falcon contendo em meio TYI-S-33, segundo Diamond et al. (1968), modificado por Keister (1983), a temperatura ambiente. A viabilidade dos trofozoítos após a viagem foi confirmada observando a amostra em microscópio invertido. Confirmada a viabilidade, foram realizados protocolos para repique e expansão dos trofozoítos e protocolo para congelamento. Os resultados após análise quantitativos e qualitativos dos trofozoítos permite inferir que o cultivo de G. lamblia foi padronizado no LaBioMol/UFCAT. O efeito giardicida do óleo obtido da macaúba, seja da castanha ou polpa dos frutos, em concentração ainda desconhecida, será o resultado que complementará o principal objetivo deste projeto.

Authors: De Oliveira Júnior Antonio Martins , Nejaim Vinicius Marques , Santos Fernanda Oliveira
Published: February 2024

This study addresses the complex relationship between copyright and digital music platforms in the digital era. As digital platforms become the primary means of music distribution, significant challenges arise concerning the protection and fair compensation of authors. The article explores the evolution of the music industry, from the early days of the phonograph to modern streaming platforms, highlighting the technological changes that have shaped the relationship between music and technology. The copyright system in Brazil is also discussed, influenced by the French dual protection model, encompassing both economic and moral rights. The text also analyzes the role of the Central Office for Collection of Copyright (ECAD) and its seven Associations in the collective management of copyright, as well as the issue of transparency in the distribution of economic rights. One point of debate is whether music transmission through streaming platforms should be considered public or private performance, directly impacting copyright revenue collection. Therefore, this study aims to present the relevant panorama of this new context of copyright associated with digital music platforms (streaming). Adopting a deductive methodology with exploratory research, the article concludes that the landscape of copyright in Brazil and its relationship with digital music platforms is a complex and challenging topic that requires careful consideration and appropriate regulation to ensure authors are adequately protected in a constantly evolving digital environment. It emphasizes the need for greater transparency and clarity in the collection, calculation, and distribution system of economic rights by digital music platforms.

Published: February 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate the martensitic transformation behavior of a Ti-Ni alloy subjected to a laser welding process. Materials characterization techniques were used to analyze the influences of this welding procedure on the phase transformation behavior. This study can provide valuable insights for the improvement of Ti-Ni alloy welding processes used for technological applications, such as in the aerospace industry. In this study, samples were prepared under three conditions: thermal treatment at 400°C, thermal treatment at 500°C, and as-received. The characterization techniques used were: Optical Microscopy (OM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Electron Dispersion Spectroscopy (EDS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Vickers Microhardness (HV). The results allow for analysis of thermoelastic martensitic transformation and variations in the compositions of the alloy elements. The research, in general, aims to repurpose welding waste in Ti-Ni alloys for the production of mini sensors. The enthalpy was higher for the alloy treated at 500°C and welded. The research findings led to the observation of martensitic phase transformation in the laser-welded Ti-Ni alloy, which suggests that it can be used as a sensor/actuator.

Authors: Hasan Moh. Abdul Kholiq , Mujahid Dhestina Religia , Santoso Rochmat Budi , Musthofa Wakhid , Kuswaya Adang
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This article explores the transformation of former terrorists' understanding of jihad verses to promote non-violence and disengagement.   Method: The research uses a qualitative, narrative-phenomenological approach to analyze this shift. Data collection techniques with interviews (in deph interview), observation, and documentation. The depth of the data was obtained by searching for additional informants with snowball sampling techniques.Conventional content analysis techniques for open coding in this study. Open coding is obtained from the narration of informants.   Result: The findings indicate a change in perception among former terrorists, but it does not completely eliminate their desire for holy war. Instead, they now view global jihad as defensive rather than offensive, and the law of jihad has shifted from an individual to a collective obligation. Former terrorists have replaced acts of terror with peaceful, humanistic actions. This transformation occurs during the process of indoctrination and later reflection on their perceived jihad actions. The informants' reflections are influenced by holistic interpretations of jihad verses, considering the impact of terror acts and social interactions with outgroups, family, and humanity. Ultimately, the research recommends a contextual examination of jihad verses to form the basis of deradicalization programs. Providing ongoing support to former terrorists during their reflection is crucial.   Conclusion: Based on previous discussions, it can be concluded that a shift in understanding the meaning of jihadi verses occurred in all informants in this study. The shift in understanding of global jihad to defensive jihad; the law of jihad from fard 'ain (individual obligation) to the law of fard kifayah (collective obligation); jihad with acts of terror to jihad with peaceful and humanist action. This shift in understanding occurs in two stages, namely when the process of indoctrination of terror and when they reflect on actions that have been believed to be jihad.

Published: February 2024

A new cell line HGF was developed from fin tissue of Epinephelus merra Bloch, 1793. The cell line was maintained in Leibovitz’s L-15 supplemented with 15% FBS and cells have been subcultured 45 times. The HGF cell line consists predominantly of fibroblastic-like cells. The cells were able to grow at temperatures between 25° and 32°C with optimum temperature of 28°C. The growth rate of fin cells increased as the FBS proportion increased from 2 to 20% at 28°C with optimum growth at the concentrations of 15 or 20% FBS. After confluence, the cells were sub-cultured with a split ratio of 1:2. The cells showed fibroblastic-like morphology and reached confluence on the fourth day after subculture. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI indicated identity of these cell lines with those reported from this animal species, confirming that the cell lines were of honeycomb grouper origin. The cells were successfully cryopreserved and revived at passage numbers 10, 20 and 30. The bacterial extracellular products from Vibrio cholerae MTCC 3904 was found toxic to this cell line.

Published: February 2024

The measurement of the density of woven fabrics based on the vision method has been widely developed. This study used a photometric stereo method to measure the warp and weft density of woven fabrics based on the 3D surface structure. Six 2D images of the fabric were recorded, each with a different lighting direction. The six images were then reconstructed using the unbiased photometric stereo algorithm to produce the three-dimensional surface structure. The reconstructed image was used to detect and correct the skew angle with the Hough transform. For each image, a depth profile was made toward the x-axis to get the weft curve and towards the y-axis to get the warped curve. The two depth curves were filtered using a locally weighted smoothing (LOESS) filter. This study successfully measured the density of woven fabric with an average error for warp and weft of 0.64% and 0.45%, respectively.

Berdasarkan pengamatan di lapangan masalah yang didapatkan yaitu khususnya pada Kompresor Nitrogen yang diakibatkan oleh akumulasi air endapan yang masuk kebagian Compressor Screw.Tindakan atau strategi yang tepat adalah memodifikasi jalur pipa yang sering terakumulasi air, lalu ditambahkan beberapa komponen perpipaan agar air yang berada dalam pipa dapat disalurkan keluar dan tidak masuk ke bagian kompresor screw. Adapun tujuan dilakukannya penelitian yaitu untuk mengetahui sambungan-sambungan pada sistem perpipaan dan menemukan solusi air akibat kondensasi di kompresor N2 yang masuk ke komponen/part kompresor sehingga merusak komponen. Metode yang digunakan untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut adalah metode Fishbone Diagrams  (Diagram Tulang Ikan). Hasil yang didapatkan dengan metode tersebut adalah penyebab terjadinya kerusakan pada kompresor dry nitrogen disebabkan oleh alat yaitu drainnase pada perpipaan terlalu kecil dan kontruksi pipa yang memungkinkan air dapat masuk langsung ke screw, sedangkan penyebab dari manusia yaitu tidak menguras terlebih dahulu air sebelum kompresor running dan penyebab dari lingkungan yaitu tingkat humidity di lapangan 80%. Sehingga penyelesaian yang didapatkan yaitu membuat desain pipeline agar dapat mengurangi kelebihan air endapan dalam pipa, sehingga kemungkinan air masuk ke bagian kompresor dapat dikurangi.
Before Westphalia: Imagining An Alternative Asian Globalization
Authors: Noor Farish
Published: February 2024

The world order as it is known and understood today was built upon the foundations of imperialism and colonialism. It must be acknowledged that the very epistemologies and vocabularies that we use in the domains of diplomacy, international relations and politics are part of the legacy of Empire as well. This paper asks, is it possible for us to rethink and/or re-imagine an alternative global system that reconnects with the realities of socio-economic and socio-political life across the Asian continent and the world of the Indian Ocean prior to the arrival of Western imperialism? And, if that is indeed possible, would this also open up new opportunities for us to imagine the manner through which we – as postcolonial Asian and African scholars and subjects – represent ourselves and the ‘Western Other’?

This fourth edition of our journal is dedicated to discussing topics of international relations. This focus is timely, as the international community is grappling with seismic changes in humankind’s societies, politics, and economies. The Western world is facing a downward trajectory of human development due to aging populations, stagnant economic growth, and the rise of social and religious extremisms that threaten systems of democracy and meritocracy. All these changes are shaping not only government policies, but also the lives of billions of people across the world, and hence, their developments are necessary to follow. The Muslim world is not immune to the changes and must also adapt to the changes that occur both within the Muslim world and in the West. Some Muslim majority countries, such as Indonesia, continuously try to find their right position in the global world.

Published: February 2024

En diciembre de 2019, la enfermedad SARS-CoV-2, conocida como COVID-19, se descubrió como un virus transmitido por zoonosis a los humanos. Inicialmente, se creía que el virus podría ser contenido dentro de China. Sin embargo, la pandemia transformó la vida de millones de personas a nivel mundial, llevando a un cambio en las actividades diarias y a la adopción generalizada de la educación a distancia. En Chiapas, el estado más pobre de México, las carencias de servicios básicos, como la conexión a internet y la cobertura de telefonía celular en zonas rurales, dificultaron enormemente la conectividad de los estudiantes. La enfermedad afectó diversas actividades económicas, incluyendo el turismo en San Cristóbal de las Casas, limitando el desarrollo económico de la ciudad. La transición a la educación virtual fue especialmente desafiante en Chiapas. Los profesores se enfrentaron a nuevas plataformas electrónicas, como Google Classroom, Zoom, Mijtsi, videoconferencias Telmex, BlueJeans, Signal y WhatsApp. Esta diversidad de herramientas requirió un aprendizaje intensivo y la gestión de hasta seis plataformas simultáneamente. Este artículo busca reflexionar sobre los impactos, cambios y transformaciones principales derivados del cambio de la educación presencial a la virtual. Se destaca la dificultad significativa que representan los problemas de acceso y conectividad para los estudiantes, especialmente en regiones con limitaciones de infraestructura.

Η Μουσική και Νοερή Απεικόνιση (ΜΝΑ), η οποία αποτελεί μέρος του Συνεχούς Μοντέλου της Καθοδηγούμενης Νοερής Απεικόνισης και Μουσικής (ΣΜΚΕΜ), είναι μια δεκτική μουσικοθεραπευτική μέθοδος που αναπτύχθηκε από τη Lisa Summer (1999) ως προσαρμογή της Μεθόδου Bonny της Καθοδηγούμενης Νοερής Απεικόνισης και Μουσικής (ΚΝΑΜ). Η εκπαίδευση στη ΜNA ξεκίνησε περίπου το 2005, και ως εκ τούτου είναι ένα σχετικά νέο φαινόμενο στη μουσικοθεραπευτική πράξη και έρευνα. Η ΜΝΑπεριλαμβάνει και τάσσεται υπέρ της χρήσης της προτεινόμενης μουσικής των πελατών κατά τη θεραπεία. Μια περιεκτική βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση πραγματοποιήθηκε για να διερευνηθεί το πώς οι πελάτες βίωσαν τις συνεδρίες ΜΝΑ.

AN ARDL ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECT OF OIL PRICE INSTABILITY ON FOREIGN RESERVE IN NIGERIA (2015-2022)
Authors: ABENG LUCY ENANGHA
Published: February 2024

The paper employed auto regressive distributive lag (ARDL) model to examine the effect of oil price instability on foreign reserve in Nigeria using recent monthly time series data over the period of 2015-2022. The results of ARDL Bound cointegration indicated a presence of cointegration in the model which confirms an existence of long run relationship between oil price instability and foreign reserve. The findings of ARDL long run analysis show that oil price instability have negative and significant effect on foreign reserve. Likewise, inflation rate has a negative and significant effect on foreign reserve. On the other hand, oil revenue is found to have a positive and significant effect on foreign reserve. Furthermore, the ARDL short run estimates indicate that an existence of a short run relationship between oil prices and foreign reserve. From the findings, the coefficient of error correction term indicates that about 30% of the discrepancy between the actual and the long run or equilibrium value of foreign reserve is corrected or eliminated each month. Furthermore, the results of granger causality test indicate a unidirectional causality between oil price instability and foreign reserve. Based on the empirical findings, the paper suggests the need for the policy makers to adopt policy framework that will get rid of corruption and ensure macroeconomic stability. Policymakers should also take steps to mitigate the negative effects of oil price fluctuations on foreign reserve in Nigeria.
An Analysis of Causes Related to Human Factors in Maritime Accidents

Published: February 2024

Safety is the most critical job of any Mariner. Recently, the maritime industry has embedded automated systems onboard ships to reduce workload and improve safety. This study explores several recent marine incidents generated by human errors resulting from improper use of technology and the loss of situational awareness. Accidents within three categories of vessels illustrate findings, small passenger vessels, a container ship, and military vessels, using the official accident reports and agency findings. The results indicate that three categories of errors were identified: competence-based, regulatory-based, and perception-based. By sharing this information, Governments, Educators, Mariners, Admiralty Lawyers, and vessel owners can work together to improve maritime safety. This research article proposes academic Maritime Education and Training (MET) strategies and administrative systems to recognise the deficiencies between human factor errors and digital innovation to prevent such accidents from reoccurrence.
Structural Challenges of Low-Emission Vessels: A Review
Authors: Souppez Jean-Baptiste
Published: February 2024

Increasing regulatory pressures to reduce shipping emissions have led to the design of low-emission vessels. These may rely on more sustainable propulsion and/or resistance reduction to reduce fuel consumption. However, the structural implications of such design strategies remain to be fully ascertained. This paper presents a review of the recent literature to identify the structural challenges associated with the next generation of sustainable vessels and tackles a range of available design options intended to reduce emissions. The results suggest that structural design has a fundamental role to play in enabling the application of low-emission design strategies on both small crafts and ships, but further developments in rules and regulations are necessary. It is anticipated these findings may support future regulatory advancements and may contribute to improvements in the design of sustainable vessels.

The Baltic dry index (BDI) is not only one of the most important indicators of shipping costs but is also an important barometer of global trade and manufacturing sentiment. The BDI is highly volatile and subject to complex factors, which make it difficult to predict. In this paper, a neural network model-based BDI forecasting system was proposed to effectively forecast the BDI. We used the gray relational degree analysis method to select seven factors with higher correlation from 15 factors affecting the variation of BDI index to be used as input indicators for the bi-directional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model to forecast BDI. From the experimental results, the prediction model proposed in this paper had an excellent prediction effect on the BDI. The mape value of the prediction result was 9.19%. The accuracy was better than the common machine learning models SVR and REG and the neural network model LSTM. In addition, in order to further optimize the prediction performance of the combined model GRA-BiLSTM, this paper introduced the MIV method to conduct an in-depth analysis of the contribution of each variable to the prediction results. Rice price, Shanghai securities composite index and crude oil price were found to be the three most relevant indicators to the prediction accuracy of the model.

Background: Given the importance of scorpion stings and poisonous creatures that cause casualties and fatality to humans and located in the city of Lendeh (in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province) in the tropical zone, this study has been conducted. Objectives: The results can be used in the prevention, control, and treatment programs and for research purposes in the country. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 59 samples were collected from five rural areas of Lendeh county in the summer of 2020. The samples were transferred to the entomology and parasitology laboratory of the Behbahan Faculty of Medical Sciences. They were identified using stereomicroscope-based diagnostic key scorpions in Iran. Results: In this study, 59 samples from five villages in the summer 2020 collection, including 5 species of 2 families, were identified Buthidae and Liochelidae. Mesobuthus eupeus with 30 samples (50.8%), the dominant species and species Hemiscorpios lepturus with 16 samples (27.1%), Compsobuthus matthiesseni with 10 samples (16.9%), Simonoides farzanpay with 2 cases (3.3%) and any Hottentata schach 1 sample (1.6%) had the lowest reported among the species identified. Conclusions: Considering the importance of scorpion stings in Iran, identifying the fauna of Scorpions seemed necessary. Observation of Hemiscorpius lepturus species in this area as the main cause of death due to scorpion stings in Iran; it can be dangerous for the residents of these areas. Therefore, the present research can be an introduction to continue the work and complete the research on the scorpions of this region.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: One rare cause of appendicitis is mucocele, which may have a neoplastic or non-neoplastic source. Simple appendectomy or right hemicolectomy may be necessary; sometimes, medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms. In this study, we reported a rare case with mucocele of the appendix managed by antibiotic therapy and a simple appendectomy. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old female with a seven-month history of right lower quadrant pain. A physical exam showed tenderness and rebound tenderness in the McBurney’s point. Her CT-scan tubular mass, measured 105 * 37 mm in RLQ, is suggested for mucocele appendicitis. Appendectomy was performed through a McBurney incision, and the pathology was a mucocele of the appendix with mucin-secreting mucosal hyperplasia. Conclusions: Malignancy of the appendix is extremely rare. Appendiceal tumors have a low prevalence, but due to the nature of these tumors, which can also be malignant, they should be given importance, and careful follow-up is mandatory. Patients must remain informed and proactive as the surgical community continues to learn more about this condition. The mucocele appendix can be successfully managed and treated with timely diagnosis and treatment.
