Experts have concerns about emergency powers and digital privacy. Experts worry that some of the powers available to the Government through the Coronavirus Act 2020 are incompatible with human rights legislation. They note that appropriate explanations were not provided by the Government for why it required all the powers granted. They are concerned the in the long-term, strategies to suppress the outbreak could breach the Equality Act 2010. Experts are also concerned about the compromise of digital privacy. Contact tracing apps could breach digital privacy legislation and experts question whether privacy laws will be relaxed to allow a rollout of these apps. Beyond that experts are concerned that mismanagement of private data could damage public trust, empower large data-processing firms and normalise increased surveillance.

The use of forensic DNA evidence in the criminal justice system in Indonesia faces various challenges, especially related to regulations that are not fully aligned with international standards. Law No. 8 of 1981 concerning the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), especially Articles 184 and 186, does not provide specific guidelines regarding the procedures for collecting, testing, and using forensic DNA evidence in the criminal evidence process. This study aims to analyze the regulations and procedures governing forensic DNA evidence in Indonesia and propose legal solutions to strengthen the regulations to comply with international standards. This study uses a normative legal research method, focusing on the analysis of relevant laws, legal doctrines, and court decisions. Discussions center on the harmonization of national regulations with international standards, strengthening the capacity of forensic institutions, and reforming legal procedures related to DNA evidence. The research findings indicate that Indonesia needs more comprehensive regulatory reforms related to the use of forensic DNA evidence, especially regarding the accreditation of forensic laboratories according to international standards such as ISO 17025 and the development of transparent and legally accountable evidence collection procedures. In conclusion, although DNA evidence has great potential to strengthen convictions in the criminal justice system, regulatory reform and strengthening of forensic institutions are needed for the Indonesian justice system to adopt higher international standards. Thus, the use of forensic DNA evidence can contribute significantly to justice in criminal law enforcement in Indonesia.

Authors: Lindholm Paul F. , Saluja Rasleen K. , Long Thomas , Coulter Suzanne , Blond Barbara J. , Perrotta Peter L.
Published: November 2024

Context.—

Opportunities to improve transfusion safety occur at lower hemoglobin (Hgb) thresholds and single-unit transfusions. Efforts to improve compliance with transfusion guidelines and single-unit transfusion practices reduce transfusions and lead to improved outcomes.

Objective.—

To evaluate demographic and practice characteristics associated with lower Hgb thresholds and single red blood cell (RBC) unit transfusion practices.

Design.—

This study used the College of American Pathologists (CAP) Q-Probes format with the recent 2020 and 2017 surveys of participating institutions.

Results.—

High rates of transfusion review and compliance were observed with institutions reporting RBC transfusions meeting institutional guidelines. CAP inspection participants and those with a formal policy to encourage single-unit transfusions showed a trend toward greater compliance. Comparison of 2020 and 2017 survey results showed favorable downward trends in the Hgb threshold for transfusion compliance review and pretransfusion and posttransfusion Hgb values. Institutions reporting initiatives to decrease transfusions, teaching hospitals, and those with updated guidelines in alignment with recent literature reported lower pretransfusion Hgb levels in both studies. The 2020 study showed greater single-unit transfusion use among hospitals with patient blood management programs, larger institutions, and those training pathology residents. Single-unit transfusion rates varied by hospital service, with highest rates reported within hematology/oncology (99 of 138 [71.7%]), intensive care (147 of 215 [68.4%]), and medicine (419 of 666 [62.9%]) services.

Conclusions.—

Transfusion practice improvement programs to decrease RBC transfusions include the use of single-unit transfusions and lower institutional pretransfusion Hgb thresholds. Opportunities to lower transfusion thresholds and increase single-unit transfusions exist in surgical and obstetrics services.

Gesture, ostension, and relevance: pragmatics of semantic gesture
Authors: Gvoždiak Vít
Published: November 2024

Semantic gesture is considered one of Jan Mukařovský’s key conceptual contributions to the theory of (artistic) communication. It is also a contribution that is still commented on and further expanded upon today. As a semantic-synthetic principle of dynamic unification of a work of art, the mechanism of semantic gesture defies reduction to pure intention, content or simply coded meaning. This paper develops the view that semantic gesture represents a pragmatic mechanism with potential for elaboration within the framework of a pragmatic theory of relevance. In the first part, it attempts to substantiate the view that semantic gesture exhibits a distinctly pragmatic character, as it is both (i) dependent on the under-determination of linguistic input and (ii) applicable outside the domain of artistic texts. The second part attempts to define the context of relevance theory as a suitable field for further exploration of semantic gesture beyond traditional semiological boundaries, especially by pointing out two types of dynamism and by relating the notion of semantic gesture to the pragmatic mechanisms of poetic effects.

Authors:   Lieutenant and Legal Officer with the Nigerian Navy, Okpong Dennis Edet , Antai Godswill Owoche ,   Lecturer and Head of Department, Post-Graduate and Diploma, Kampala International University, Kampala, Uganda.
Published: November 2024

The separatist movement in Eastern Nigeria advocating for the creation of the state of Biafra, remains one of the serious challenges to national stability, unity, and security within the region and Nigeria. The movements have sparked off civil unrest, violent clashes, and socio-political tensions, thus intensifying the set of accrued and unattended grievances in the region and aspersions on the sovereignty of Nigeria. The research explores intelligence-driven strategies as a veritable way of stemming the increasing civil unrest and fostering national unity. This study makes use of a doctrinal research approach in looking at intelligence gathering, analysis, and operational tactics as it pertains to the combatted separatist activity in seeking methods through which these tools might better control a conflict and prevent violence while setting up a dialogue process between the government and the separatist factions. The research also examines how local perspectives can be factored into socio-economic factors within the intelligence framework for lasting peace. It draws on case studies of successful intelligence-based interventions both within and outside Africa, drawing important lessons for Nigeria’s current efforts to confront secessionist challenges. This research proposes a strategic and non-military approach where security imperatives will be balanced with inclusive national policies for consolidating unity in Nigeria and promoting long-term peace in Eastern Nigeria. Keywords: Separatist movement, Biafra, Sovereignty, Eastern Nigeria

Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: Degree-based graph invariants are a type of molecular descriptor that represent the connectivity of atoms (vertices) in a molecule through bonds (edges). They are used to model structural properties of molecules and provide valuable information for fields such as physical chemistry, pharmacology, environmental science, and material science. Recently, novel degree-based molecular structure descriptors, known as Sombor index-like graph invariants, have been explored from a geometrical perspective. These graph invariants have found applications in network science, where they are used to model dynamic effects in biological, social, and technological complex systems. There is also emerging interest in their potential military applications. Among these descriptors is the KG-Sombor index which is defined using both vertex and edge degrees. Methods: The study uses combinatorial graph theory to identify and analyze extremal graphs that either maximize or minimize the KG-Sombor index. Results: The extremal graphs are characterized concerning the KG-Sombor index, with a particular focus on trees, molecular trees, and unicyclic graphs. Conclusion: This research advances the theoretical understanding of Sombor index-like graph invariants.

Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: The present work utilizes a numerical and analytical approach to predict the likelihood of interlaminar fracture in Mode I of a composite structure under the peel test Methods: The finite element approach, which incorporates the Virtual Crack Closure (VCCT) method, is utilized to examine the delamination of the composite structure. The research investigated the effects of many aspects, including dimension, fiber alignment, and composite properties. Results: The numerical results significantly concur with the analytical solution recorded in the current body of literature. The Monte Carlo technique predicts the distribution function of composite damage. As previously stated, the probability of structural failure is assessed by considering both the model's uncertainty and the statistical uncertainty linked to the essential variables. Conclusion: The probability density function (pdf) is derived by fitting specific theoretical models to the histogram. The durability of composite structures is primarily dependent on their mechanical properties.

Influence of confinement by transverse reinforcement on the nonlinear behaviour of reinforced concrete structures
Authors: Ourabah Adnane , Bouafia Youcef , Iddir Abdelkader , Kachi Mohand
Published: November 2024

Introduction/purpose: Structural design and calculation are based on the behavior of concrete and steel separately, without taking into account the contribution of stirrups in concrete confinement. The influence of confinement in structural modeling can be used to better approximate real behavior. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a non-linear model for the behavior of reinforced concrete structures, taking into account concrete confinement. Methods: A 3D finite element model is used to analyze framed structures. This model takes into account shear deformations. The cross-section of the beam is discretized into trapezoidal layers, while each layer is assumed to be uniaxially stressed. Non-linear constitutive laws are applied to the materials. For concrete confinement, the material's ductility is considered using the relationships proposed by Bouafia et al. These models are implemented in a computer program. The software monitors the behavior of column-beam structures under variable loads until reaching their loadbearing capacity. Results: The results are compared with experiment results, focusing on maximum strength and deformability. The comparison shows very satisfactory results. In addition, the use of transverse reinforcement for concrete confinement significantly impacts the global behavior of reinforced concrete structures by influencing the contribution of ductility. Conclusion: The consideration of confinement in structures provides the best possible approach to the real behavior of structures. In contrast to existing calculation codes, concrete behavior laws do not take into account the contribution of confinement by transverse reinforcement.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the importance of open and honest communication in personal and professional relationships and its impact on group dynamics, team effectiveness, and individual well-being. Through literature review and empirical analysis, it was found that openness in sharing feelings, thoughts, and concerns is key in maintaining healthy and harmonious relationships. Couples who regularly discuss important issues report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationships. Active listening, where full attention is given without distraction, also increases understanding and emotional closeness between couples. However, the study also identified communication challenges such as misunderstandings and conflicts that often trigger disputes, especially among young couples who face difficulties in conveying messages clearly and understanding emotional context. Emotion management during conflict is a major challenge, as many couples find it difficult to remain calm and rational in situations that trigger negative emotions.
 overcome this challenge, strategies such as using humor and spending quality time together have proven effective. Humor can ease tension and improve mood after conflict, while quality time without technological distractions strengthens bonding and communication. The influence of technology in couples' communication is also reviewed, with an emphasis on the importance of setting boundaries for technology use to avoid misunderstandings and loss of emotional nuance. Social support from family and friends was found to play an important role in helping couples overcome conflict and strengthen their relationship. Couples who had a strong support network felt more confident and optimistic about the future of their relationship. In addition, the evolution of communication in relationships suggests that couples learn to communicate more effectively and efficiently over time, with improved communication skills such as empathy, emotion management, and constructive problem solving.
