Het arrest van de Litouwse advocaat en aanneming van werk: een nuancering van de gevolgen van een (oneerlijk) kostenbeding

Wanneer een consument een aanneemovereenkomst sluit waarbij in regie wordt gewerkt, is er sprake van een zogenoemd kostenbeding. Ook bij meerwerk kan er sprake zijn van een kostenbeding. Een kostenbeding kan onder omstandigheden als een oneerlijk beding worden beschouwd en daardoor worden vernietigd. In de tot op heden gepubliceerde jurisprudentie waarbij een kostenbeding is vernietigd, wordt doorgaans geoordeeld dat een consument dan niets meer hoeft te betalen voor de verleende diensten. Aan de hand van de criteria van het Europese arrest inzake de Litouwse Advocaat (HvJ EU 12 januari 2023, C-395/21, ECLI:EU:2023:14) onderzoeken de auteurs wanneer een kostenbeding in een aanneemovereenkomst op oneerlijkheid kan worden getoetst, wanneer het kostenbeding oneerlijk is en wat de gevolgen (moeten) zijn wanneer het kostenbeding beding wordt vernietigd. De auteurs zijn van mening dat een kostenbeding niet altijd op oneerlijkheid toetsbaar is. Dat is alleen het geval indien de aannemer onvoldoende transparant is geweest over de uiteindelijk te betalen prijs. Dan is het kostenbeding al snel oneerlijk. Wel dienen de gevolgen van (de vaststelling van) een oneerlijk kostenbeding te worden genuanceerd. De auteurs bepleiten een meer evenredige sanctie voor het onvoldoende transparant communiceren over de prijs. De aannemer heeft ook bij de vernietiging van het kostenbeding recht op betaling van een (groot) deel van de redelijke prijs van het werk.

Published: October 2024

Orde Baru adalah sebutan bagi masa pemerintahan Presiden Jenderal Soeharto di Indonesia. Orde Baru menggantikan Orde Lama yang merujuk kepada era pemerintahan Soekarno. Lahirnya Orde Baru diawali dengan dikeluarkannya Surat Perintah 11 Maret 1966. Orde Baru berlangsung dari tahun 1966 hingga 1998. Pada masa orde baru perekonomian di Indonesia mulai membaik, akan tetapi banyak keterbatasan yang dilakukan oleh penguasa, salah satunya adalah keterbatasan pers. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dinamika keamanan pers pada masa Orde Baru (1966-1998) di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka (library research)  dalam pengumpulan data di dapatkan dari literatur literatur terkait seperti buku, jurnal dan bahan bacaan lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keamanan pers pada masa Orde Baru sangat terbatas karena adanya tekanan dan intimidasi dari pemerintah. Hal ini tercermin dari banyaknya kasus penangkapan dan pengasingan wartawan yang meliputi tindakan penyiksaan dan pembunuhan. Namun, terdapat juga beberapa kasus di mana pers berhasil memperjuangkan kebebasan pers dan hak asasi manusia. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada pemahaman tentang dinamika keamanan pers pada masa Orde Baru dan implementasinya pada kebebasan pers di Indonesia saat ini.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: O câncer de colo de útero é um dos tipos de câncer com maior prevalência entre as mulheres, porém, ele apresenta um dos melhores mecanismos de rastreamento precoce, através do Papanicolau. Contudo, apesar de sua tamanha relevância, no Brasil, ainda há diversos fatores que impossibilitam realizar uma cobertura de rastreamento satisfatória sobre a população. Objetivo: Investigar os fatores que interferem na baixa cobertura do rastreamento de câncer de colo de útero na atenção básica. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, baseada em estudos científicos, na língua inglesa e portuguesa, publicados nos bancos de dados virtuais BVS, Google acadêmico e SciELO, entre 2016 e 2024, que retratavam os fatores que afligiam a cobertura do rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero. Os descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): “Programas de Rastreamento”, “Neoplasias”, “Colo do Útero”, “Teste de Papanicolau” e “Brasil” Resultados: Os fatores que interferem na baixa cobertura do rastreamento do câncer de colo de útero eram diversos, no entanto, estes encaixam em áreas mais gerais, como por exemplo a baixa escolaridade que desencadeava a desinformação e está intrinsicamente relacionada com as qualidades sociodemográficas dessa mulher. Conclusão: Em suma, estes fatores não estão necessariamente isolados como justificativa da baixa cobertura do rastreio, pois foi observado que, normalmente, muitos deles estão interligados e enraizados nos programas de saúde, visto que uma região que apresenta baixos níveis de escolaridade, também apresenta baixa infraestrutura nos estabelecimentos de assistência à saúde que, por conseguinte aliena tal população com a desinformação.

Análise de lubrificantes utilizados no processso de trefilação via cassetes e sua influência nas propriedades mecânicas de vergalhões de aço CA-60
Authors: Xavier Guilherme Candaten , Nunes Rafael Menezes
Published: October 2024

O processo de fabricação utilizado para a obtenção do vergalhão de aço CA-60 normalmente é realizado através da trefilação a frio com o emprego de dispositivos conhecidos como cassetes. Este inovador método de fabricação oferece inúmeras vantagens em relação aos métodos mais tradicionais, tais como: redução do atrito na interface ferramenta-material; redução do consumo de energia requerida no processo; aumento da velocidade de trefilação; redução do número total de passes de deformação; eliminação de tratamentos térmicos intermediários; dentre muitas outras. No trabalho proposto investigou-se a influência de 3 diferentes lubrificantes em forma de sabão (pó) utilizados no processo de trefilação a frio, denominados A, B e C. Esta investigação comparou principalmente a camada residual de lubrificante obtida na superfície dos vergalhões de aço após o processamento do material com os diferentes lubrificantes testados. Para o lubrificante do tipo A, três velocidades distintas de processamento (4m/s; 8m/s; e 12m/s) também foram utilizadas com o intuito de avaliar a influência desta variável na camada residual de sabão. Essa comparação foi realizada em um equipamento industrial de trefilação a frio por cassetes. No processo avaliado, o material de partida foi um fio-máquina ABNT 1010 com 7,0mm de diâmetro que foi transformado por deformação plástica em um vergalhão CA-60 com 5,0mm de diâmetro. Após finalizado o processo de trefilação, foram realizados ensaios para a determinação da camada residual de lubrificante e das propriedades mecânicas do material trefilado. Os resultados encontrados apontam uma diferença significativa na camada residual de lubrificante obtida com a utilização de diferentes tipos de lubrificantes, mantendo-se constante a velocidade do processo. Além disso, foi possível perceber que para o mesmo tipo de lubrificante o aumento da velocidade do processo favorece a obtenção de uma camada residual de lubrificante maior. Em termos de propriedades mecânicas, não houve diferenças significativas nas condições testadas para o material analisado.

Published: October 2024

The global society, full of uncertainties and challenges, requires that we educate for active citizenship, advocating a developmental process that strives for a participatory, critical, and active citizen. On the other hand, Positive Psychology, in the beginning of the 21st century, brings a paradigm shift in conceptualization and intervention by focusing the study on optimal functioning and positive development. With the goal of positive child development and endowing them with positive, resilient, and citizen skills, it is necessary to bring together institutions such as the School and the Family, individual traits, and subjective experiences. In Portugal, educational interventions have focused on remediation and neglected, in general, the optimal functioning of children. Thus, based on the principles of Positive Psychology and Active Citizenship, we have conceptualized the Positive Education Program "Psicidadania +", aimed at children in the 3rd grade of elementary school. Psicidadania + is a 14-session educational intervention program, focused on a positive education and citizenship strategy for the optimal development of students, through the planning and execution of pedagogical activities and positive human relationships. It focuses on five thematic modules: knowledge of self and others; interpersonal relations in the class; positive classroom space; leisure space (playground) as a citizenship space; the Positive School; and the environment. These thematic modules are articulated with the virtues/strengths to be achieved and with the curriculum of the aforementioned learning year.

No Brasil, a leishmaniose tegumentar (LT) é classificada como um complexo problema de saúde pública, destacando-se a região Norte em termos de risco de infecção pelo parasito. Fatores relacionados à urbanização recente e acelerada facilitam o contato direto com o vetor, e esse parâmetro é agravado pela inadequada notificação regional. Nesse contexto, este estudo tem como objetivo descrever a prevalência de casos de leishmaniose no município de Abaetetuba, Pará, Brasil, entre 2013 e 2022. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo-epidemiológico de corte transversal com abordagem quantitativa. O Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) para os casos notificados de leishmaniose tegumentar foi analisado quanto às variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. Para a análise foi utilizado o software BioEstat 5.3 em conjunto com o Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Como resultado, foram identificados 39 casos de leishmaniose, dos quais a maioria era do sexo masculino (89,7%) contra 10,2% do sexo feminino. A forma de apresentação clínica mais comum foi a cutânea em 97,4% (38/39) dos casos, com maior prevalência na faixa etária de 20 a 39 anos, com 41% dos casos. A partir disso, pode-se deduzir que há um perfil da doença LT em Abaetetuba entre 2013 e 2022 que acomete principalmente populações vulneráveis e segue o panorama nacional. Além disso, a apresentação desses indicadores locais e regionais é fundamental para a identificação de fragilidades e possíveis melhorias no controle da leishmaniose em Abaetetuba.

Published: October 2024

O selênio (Se) é um elemento benéfico para as plantas, porém essencial para os seres humanos e animais. Sua baixa disponibilidade no solo pode acarretar deficiência do elemento nos alimentos de consumidores, tanto humanos, como em animais. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a biofortificação dos grãos de milho com selênio e avaliar o efeito residual de Se quanto à sua disponibilidade para a soja. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2 x 4 com 4 repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos por: T1: controle sem aplicação de Se, T2: aplicação total de Se via tratamento de sementes (100% TS); T3: diluição da fonte de Se em água (50% TS) mais aplicação de selênio via pulverização foliar no estádio fisiológico V4 (50% AF) e T4: aplicação de selênio via pulverização foliar no estádio fisiológico V4 (100% AF). As avaliações realizadas no milho foram: altura de plantas, teores de macronutrientes e de selênio e índice de clorofila. As avaliações realizadas na cultura da soja foram estande inicial, alturas de plantas, teores de macronutrientes e de Se, índice clorofila, produtividade e massa de 1000 grãos e os teores de Se nos grãos. O Se foi fitodisponível pelas adubações apenas no cultivo do milho na dose de 500 g ha-1 de selenato de sódio exclusivamente via foliar, resultando em maior teor de Se nos grãos de milho. A aplicação de Se, independentemente do modo de aplicação, não deixou residual para o cultivo da soja a fim de biofortificar os grãos. Recomenda-se a ampliação das pesquisas sobre a biofortificação com selênio (Se) em uma maior diversidade de culturas de interesse agronômico, considerando diferentes condições edafoclimáticas, a fim de consolidar essa prática e potencializar seus benefícios.

Synthesis of clove essential oil-loaded chitosan-based edible films with different plasticizers
Authors: Zsivanovits G. , Milenkova S. , Marudova M. , Nikolova K.
Published: October 2024

Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide known for its excellent biodegradable, barrier and antimicrobial properties. Therefore, it is often used in the preparation of edible films. A vast variety of essential oils have been incorporated into the films to enhance their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Despite all the positive effects of chitosan in its application as food packaging, its films are fragile and brittle. Therefore, plasticizers are usually added to improve the chitosan's mechanical properties. The present article investigates the effect of different plasticizers, namely Glycerol, Polyethylene glycol, and Polyvinyl alcohol, on the physical characteristics of clove essential oil-loaded chitosan film (chitosan/CEO).Chitosan/CEO films are prepared using the casting method. The intermolecular interactions are determined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), the surface morphology is observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the mechanical properties are tested in tensile and puncture modes. The thermal stability and the compound physical state are investigated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Water adsorption isotherms and water vapour permeability are also determined.The addition of plasticizer is found to have a beneficial effect on the mechanical properties of chitosan films and does not change the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance, colour parameters, and thermal stability drastically. In such a way, the plasticized films are suitable for food packaging.Future research will investigate the effect of other environmentally friendly plasticizers on edible films made from chitosan/essential oils.Based on our knowledge, the present research investigates the effect of different plasticizers on the chitosan/CEO edible films for the first time.

Helsepersonelloven pålegger tannhelsepersonell i Norge å melde til barnevernet ved begrunnet mistanke om omsorgssvikt

I Den offentlige tannhelsetjenesten i Norge oppgir en tredjedel av tannleger og tannpleiere at de har unnlatt å utøve meldeplikten

Over halvparten av disse har unnlatt å utøve meldeplikten mere enn en gang

Samtidig oppgir over halvparten å ha positive holdninger til barnevernet, mens ett fåtall oppgir negative holdninger

Bekreftede årsaker til unnlatelse av meldeplikten som «usikkerhet på egne vurderinger» og «redsel for å ta feil», er hyppig rapportert særlig blant ansatte med negative holdninger til barnevernet

Kunnskapsnivået om barnemishandling og meldeplikt til barnevernet må styrkes i Den offentlige tannhelsetjenesten

Economic growth prioritizes building and strengthening sectors in the economic field by developing, improving and maximizing resources. West Java Province is one of the provinces that has a large economic contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The purpose of this study was to determine the agricultural sub-sector included in the leading sector (base) and to determine the shift of the agricultural sub-sector in West Java Province and the classification of Klassen typology in the economic sector in West Java Province. This study uses secondary data in the form of the value of the Gross Regional Domestic Product of West Java Province and the Indonesian Gross Domestic Product at constant 2010 prices by business field from 2019 to 2023. The data is processed using location quentient (LQ) analysis tools, shift share analysis (SSA) and Klassen typology analysis. The results of the location quentient (LQ) analysis show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries sector is a non-base sector in West Java Province. The results of shift share analysis (SSA) show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector has a positive influence on regional economic growth (Nij) of Rp. 12,925 billion, Industry Mix (Mij) of Rp. -5,183 billion and competitive advantage (Cij) of Rp. 910,074 billion. The results of the Klassen typology analysis show that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Sector is a developed but depressed sector, so it is hoped that the West Java Provincial Government will accelerate growth by increasing output and absorbing more labor.

Published: October 2024

Human resources play an important role for an organization or company. Employees as one of the drivers in achieving organizational goals must of course have their needs met so that these employees can provide good reciprocity to the organization. Employees as the main resource for the organization must also be considered for their quality in order to create superior and competent human resources. This study aims to determine the level of work from home and work life balance on job performance in employees and to determine the effect of work from home, work life balance and job performance on PT Rata Indonesia employees. The method used in this research is quantitative and then to describe the research results using descriptive data analysis techniques. The data collection method in this study was by distributing questionnaires. This study uses a Likert scale with a total of 30 statements. The population in this study amounted to 129 employees and the sample in this study used non-probability sampling with saturated sampling technique which sampled the entire population. The findings suggest that companies should support employees in achieving a healthy work-life balance and provide adequate resources for effective work-from-home arrangements to maximize productivity. This study contributes to the understanding of how work arrangements and work-life balance affect employee performance, providing insights for future research and practical implications for human resource management.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to examine the strategies for improving Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among teachers through strengthening servant leadership, work culture, mutual trust behavior, and job satisfaction. Utilizing a quantitative survey method, the study investigates the direct and indirect influences of these variables on OCB among teachers at private Islamic schools in Sukabumi Regency. The results show a significant direct influence of servant leadership, work culture, mutual trust behavior, and job satisfaction on teachers' OCB. Furthermore, the study reveals that mutual trust behavior and job satisfaction play mediating roles between servant leadership, work culture, and OCB. However, mutual trust behavior is not effective as a mediator between work culture and OCB, indicating that work culture can directly influence OCB without the need for mediation. This research contributes to the understanding of OCB improvement strategies and offers practical solutions for policymakers and educational leaders to enhance teacher performance and overall education quality.

Published: October 2024

The Powhatan Landscape breaks new ground by tracing Native placemaking in the Chesapeake from the Algonquian arrival to the Powhatan's clashes with the English. Martin Gallivan details how Virginia Algonquians constructed riverine communities alongside fishing grounds and collective burials and later within horticultural towns. Ceremonial spaces, including earthwork enclosures within the center place of Werowocomoco, gathered people for centuries prior to 1607. Even after the violent ruptures of the colonial era, Native people returned to riverine towns for pilgrimages commemorating the enduring power of place.
Atoms of Confusion in the Android Open Source Project: A Prevalence Study
Authors: Tabosa Davi , Viana Windson , Rocha Lincoln
Published: October 2024

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is the open-source project responsible for the Android operating system. In the AOSP, developers collaborate to add features, fix bugs, and improve the performance of a code base of more than 14 million lines written in different programming languages (e.g., C, Java, and Kotlin). This code must have minimum quality requirements to facilitate its maintenance and evolution. However, latent software quality problems can persist in such complex projects, leading to maintainability and evolution issues. An example of a latent problem is Atoms of Confusion (AC), small indivisible code fragments that cause comprehension difficulties. To shed light on this matter, we conducted an empirical study in the AOSP with twofold goals: (i) perform a prevalence and frequency analysis of ACs in this project, and (ii) relate ACs presence with Chidamber & Kemerer (CK) metrics suite. We found that 331 of the 370 AOSP repositories analyzed have at least one atom, with Logic as Control Flow being the most frequent and prevalent, with more than 110,000 occurrences found and present in 96% of the repositories with the presence of atoms. We also observed that the presence of ACs has a positive correlation with some CK metrics, such as WMC (Weighted Methods per Class) and RFC (Response for a Class), as well as the number of LOC (Lines of Code).

Published: October 2024

O desenvolvimento de videogames requer habilidades como, simulação de física e animação de objetos. O ensino dessas habilidades requer abordagens metodológicas que integrem teoria e prática, onde, a Aprendizagem Baseada em Projetos (PBL), se destaca. No entanto, há uma lacuna sobre o impacto do PBL na qualidade do código de jogos digitais, particularmente em relação aos “game smells”, que indicam problemas que afetam a manutenibilidade e a experiência de jogo. Este estudo avalia 201 jogos desenvolvidos por estudantes ao longo de seis anos, encontrando um aumento nos “game smells” à medida que os cursos progridem, uma alta incidência de “game smells” menos críticos e uma correlação significativa entre o tamanho dos jogos e a incidência de “game smells”.

Published: October 2024

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has introduced a new set of tools to support software developers in solving programming tasks. However, our understanding of the interactions (i.e., prompts) between developers and ChatGPT that result in contributions to the codebase remains limited. To explore this limitation, we conducted a manual evaluation of 155 valid ChatGPT share links extracted from 139 merged Pull Requests (PRs), revealing the interactions between developers and reviewers with ChatGPT that led to merges into the main codebase. Our results produced a catalog of 14 types of ChatGPT requests categorized into four main groups. We found a significant number of requests involving code review and the implementation of code snippets based on specific tasks. Developers also sought to clarify doubts by requesting technical explanations or by asking for text refinements for their web pages. Furthermore, we verified that prompts involving code generation generally required more interactions to produce the desired answer compared to prompts requesting text review or technical information.

Authors: Çömez Erkan , İnan Onur
Published: October 2024

This article evaluates the performance of regression algorithms used to estimate taxi-out times at Istanbul Airport. Artificial neural networks, random forest, gradient boosting, and decision trees algorithms were studied to determine the algorithms with the highest accuracy. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the data's dimensionality and improve model performance. The findings of the study provide valuable insights for more effective management of airport operations and reduction of flight delays. PCA-applied Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) emerged as the most successful algorithm, demonstrating the highest accuracy (R²: 95.89%) and lowest error margins (MAE: 0.016, MSE: 0.001) in predicting taxi-out times. This superior performance indicates that ANN can effectively capture the complex relationships and variability inherent in airport operational data. Following ANN, the PCA-applied Random Forest algorithm also showed commendable accuracy (R²: 94.89%), providing robust predictions with slightly higher error margins (MAE: 0.157, MSE: 0.044) compared to ANN. These results underline the potential of using advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the efficiency of airport operations, thereby minimizing delays and optimizing resource allocation. Overall, the application of these machine learning models, particularly ANN and Random Forest, offers a significant improvement over traditional methods. The study's outcomes suggest that incorporating these advanced algorithms can lead to more accurate predictions of taxi-out times, supporting better decision-making processes and operational strategies at airports.

This article comprehensively examines the use of machine learning algorithms to predict and reduce student dropout rates. These methods, developed to monitor and support student achievement in education, also aimed to enhance success rates in education and ensure more effective student engagement in the learning process. Big data analysis and machine learning models provide important contributions to the development of strategic solutions to the problem of school dropout by predicting student movements and trends. This study uses a dataset consisting of 4424 student data and has 37 features. The dataset is divided into three classes: "Dropout", "Enrolled" and "Graduate" according to the students' school dropout status. Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) competitions, which are frequently used in such training studies in the literature, are aimed at this dataset. According to the obtained operations, DT showed moderate performance with an accuracy rate of 70.1%. The RF algorithm showed higher success with an accuracy rate of 75.5%. The highest success was achieved by the ANN algorithm with an accuracy rate of 77.3%. ANN's flexible structure has produced superior results compared to other algorithms for this dataset, its ability provide successful classification in complex datasets. The article ultimately demonstrates how machine learning-based prediction models can have a significant impact on student achievement and offer a powerful tool for reducing school dropouts.
