Implementation of the Regulation of the Minister of ATR/BPN No. 14 of 2024 in the Registration of Customary Land Rights of Customary Law Communities
Authors: Rohyani Rigen Is Sumilat
Published: January 2025

The implementation of Permen ATR/BPN No. 14 of 2024 represents a strategic move in the recognition of hak ulayat (communal land rights) for Indonesia’s indigenous communities. This regulation responds to the long-standing issues of complex and non-transparent registration processes that have marginalized indigenous people from formal land registration. Despite previous reforms, data from the Indonesian Land Agency (BPN) in 2022 indicates that only 30% of ulayat land has been officially registered. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the policy, particularly in addressing challenges such as legal uncertainty, conflicts over land claims, and administrative bottlenecks.
The study employs a normative juridical method with a comprehensive legal analysis of relevant regulations, including Permen ATR/BPN No. 3 of 2023 and Permen ATR/BPN No. 21 of 2020, alongside secondary data sources such as legal literature and empirical case studies on land conflicts involving indigenous communities. The analysis focuses on how the Permen ATR/BPN No. 14 of 2024 aligns with broader land management reforms and the technological innovations introduced by Permen 2023, which facilitates electronic land registration.

Introdução: A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) é um modelo essencial no sistema de saúde, com foco na promoção da saúde e na prevenção de doenças, incluindo o combate às Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis (DSTs). No contexto da saúde sexual e reprodutiva, a APS é uma estratégia crucial para melhorar o acesso e a conscientização da população sobre a prevenção de DSTs, promovendo comportamentos sexuais seguros e a detecção precoce de infecções, como o HIV. Diante disso, o presente estudo visa explorar como a Atenção Básica pode transformar a saúde sexual e reprodutiva, reduzindo a incidência de DSTs e promovendo a equidade em saúde. Metodologia: Este estudo utilizou uma metodologia de pesquisa bibliográfica e análise de dados epidemiológicos. Foram selecionados artigos científicos publicados nos últimos dez anos em bases como PubMed e Google Scholar, com foco na relação entre atenção básica e prevenção de DSTs. Adicionalmente, foram coletados dados através do DATASUS, Resultados: Os dados coletados revelam que, embora as notificações de HIV no Brasil permaneçam significativas, houve uma diminuição nas taxas de infecção nos últimos anos, possivelmente devido às ações de prevenção e conscientização da APS, como a oferta de testagens rápidas e a distribuição de preservativos. Considerações Finais: A Atenção Primária à Saúde tem se mostrado um pilar na promoção da saúde sexual e reprodutiva e na prevenção de DSTs, sobretudo em populações vulneráveis. Para um enfrentamento efetivo, é essencial ampliar os programas educativos, fortalecer a capacitação dos profissionais de saúde e garantir que as políticas públicas sustentem uma estrutura robusta e acessível de atendimento.

Authors: Posokina Natalia , Zakharova Anna , KURBANOVA M
Published: January 2025

The aim of research is to find an approach to control the quantitative germination of microbial spores in food systems. Tasks: to determine the presence of calcium ions in the suspension of germinated spores; to establish the dependence of the concentration of calcium ions on the number of germinated spores. The Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 strain was used as the object of the study. The determination of the biological concentration of Bacillus subtilis in the spore suspension was performed by seeding successive tenfold dilutions of the Bacillus subtilis suspension in sterile distilled water, followed by seeding the suspension and its successive dilutions in Petri dishes with a solid nutrient medium. The suspension was heated at a temperature of 95±1°C for 20 minutes. After heating, the suspension titer and Ca2+ concentration were determined. Determination of the Ca2+ concentration was carried out by capillary electrophoresis according to the method M 04-52-2008 on the device Kapel-105M (Lumex, Russia). The obtained dependence of the Ca2+ concentration on the titer of microorganisms makes it possible to determine the number of germinated spores even at their minimum content, which makes it possible to quantify germinated spores in food systems by an analytical method. This approach to controlling the quantitative germination of spores showed its applicability for this type of study, since the method of capillary electrophoresis used in the study makes it possible to determine the mass concentration of calcium cations from 1.0 to 500 mg/dm3.

Published: January 2025

Brewer's grain is a by-product of beer production, has a high biological potential due to dietary fiber and beta-glucan, which help animals to modulate the balance and activity of microbial populations in the intestine, so its use in combination with a mineral complex can increase the productivity of poultry. The paper discusses the effect of feeding complex feed additives based on processed brewer's grains as part of complete feed on the productivity, safety and control slaughter of quail-laying quails of the Texas white breed. The experiment was carried out in the vivarium of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Krasnodar Scientific Center for Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine on Texas white laying quails from 42 days of age to the 222nd day of rearing. The content of the bird was cellular in one tier. The conditions of detention corresponded to generally accepted zootechnical standards, the groups were formed by the method of pairs-analogues of 20 animals each. The first group was the control group and received a balanced complete feed (CF). For feeding the second group, CF was used with the addition of 1.5 % of the developed complex feed additive № 1 by weight of the feed. The third group received a complete mixed feed with the addition of 1.5 % complex additive № 2 by weight of the feed. It has been established that the use of the studied additives has a positive effect on the egg production of birds, increasing the gross collection of eggs by 3.17 and 3.82 % in the groups that received the studied additives. In the experimental groups, the slaughter qualities of laying quails improved. Thus, the weight of the gutted carcass increased by 8.30 % (P≤0.01) in the second group, and by 9.08 % (P≤0.001) in the third experimental group in relation to the control one. The use of complex additives based on processed brewer's grains contributed to an increase in production profitability by 3.22 and 3.24 % and additional profit per head by 11.9 and 12.6 % in the second and third groups, respectively, compared with the control group.

Published: January 2025

Abstract:
Political, cultural, economic and historical account of the Indian tradition explain that women have been marginalized after the advent of Islamic invasion and the British colonial rule in India. Women have been denied of their economic, social and cultural rights. Under the control of British colonialism, capitalism and materialism, the body of the women became a site of political debate. Body which has its origination in the biological realities, in the process of its becoming, it attains the valency of power structure. The power structure inscribes its codes and oppressive rules through the process of signification on the body of the women. This ecriture on the body translates the biological body into a cultural object. The oppressive reality of capitalism transforms the essence of the body into an object or a finished commodity. The paper in the context intends to examine the reality of body politics in Shashi Deshpande’s Roots and Shadows.

Who is a reviewer? The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly phenotypes
Authors: Picano Eugenio
Published: January 2025

By offering their expertise, reviewers help authors improve their work and also support editors in selecting high-quality studies, thereby reinforcing the integrity of scientific literature. Much like in a Sergio Leone film, your manuscript encounters three possible types of reviewers on its editorial journey: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The Good Reviewer is, for reasons unknown, favorably disposed toward both you and your manuscript. They find it “well-written, with literary and enjoyable style”, “original and timely”, and addressing a topic that is “scientifically and socially relevant”. Their comments are respectful, constructive, and focused on minor but meaningful improvements. Unfortunately, the Good Reviewer is as rare as a white unicorn; some researchers reach the end of their careers without ever encountering one, leading them to question their very existence. The Bad Reviewer is both bad at reviewing and a bad influence on your work. They reject your manuscript, but their reasons are vague and unconvincing. Their objections are often asinine, and when you respond thoroughly and decisively, they counter with even more nonsensical arguments. They may pressure you to cite irrelevant literature—often their work or that of their colleagues. In the end, your once-solid and cohesive manuscript emerges in a far worse state than the original. None of this would have been possible without the Bad Reviewer, who, unleashed by a negligent editor, exerts their detrimental influence on your article. The Ugly Reviewer appears with unsettling regularity—at least once a month. They believe your article is truly terrible, and often, they are right. The Ugly Reviewer, though harsh, is no fool. Their critiques are brutal and unforgiving, yet accurate. Years later, you may find yourself grateful to them for preventing you from publishing work that, in hindsight, would have irreparably tarnished your already modest scientific reputation.
Pumping Power Dependence of OTEC Systems
Authors: Aresti L. , Onoufriou T. , Michailides C. , Christodoulides P.
Published: January 2025

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems use seawater pipes to harness the natural temperature difference between the surface water and the deep seawater mainly for electricity generation; they also have the potential tof generate by-products. The temperature of seawater fluctuates according to the geographical location but also depends on factors such as ocean depth and proximity to the coastline. This paper examines several scenarios for the pumping power affected by various factors related to the cold-water pipe and the warm-water pipe. A parametric analysis is performed on factors such as the size of the cold-water pipe, the mass flow rate, and the distance from shore. The results could potentially be used to identify the positioning of an OTEC systems, in terms of onshore or offshore placement.

El proyecto tuvo como objetivo comparar una pieza de repuesto original con una genérica, analizando su composición química, resistencia mecánica y dureza. Para lograrlo se realizaron pruebas metalográficas siguiendo las normas ASTM E3:2011 y ASTM E407:2007, mientras que la composición química se determinó utilizando ASTM E1085:2016 y las pruebas de dureza se realizaron según ASTM E18:2022. Los resultados mostraron que la pieza de repuesto original tiene una estructura de ferrita, mientras que la genérica tiene martensita fina. La composición química de ambos pistones incluye una matriz de hierro con diversos elementos aleantes como cobre (Cu), níquel (Ni), cromo (Cr), manganeso (Mn), silicio (Si), molibdeno (Mo), titanio (Ti), zinc (Zn), circonio (Zr) y plomo (Pb). El repuesto original presenta como aleante el circonio permitiéndole resistir altas temperaturas y mantener la estabilidad estructural. Los resultados de la prueba de dureza indicaron que la pieza de repuesto genérica es más dura y frágil, mientras que la pieza de repuesto original tiene una dureza moderada lo que la convierte en un material con propiedades dúctiles. En general, el estudio concluye que la pieza de repuesto original tiene una composición química superior, una dureza moderada y mejores propiedades mecánicas

Este artículo analiza la metodología para la creación de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje (EVA) para la mecánica automotriz en la educación superior, enfatizando la necesidad de integrar estrategias tecnológicas y pedagógicas para un aprendizaje óptimo. La introducción destaca la importancia de los EVA en la era digital, considerando la experiencia del COVID-19 y el potencial de la realidad virtual (RV), el modelo de aceptación tecnológica (TAM) y otras estrategias pedagógicas. La metodología, basada en una revisión sistemática de 30 artículos de bases de datos indexadas, empleó palabras clave específicas y el método PRISMA para seleccionar y analizar estudios relevantes. Los resultados y la discusión revelaron la predominancia del aprendizaje basado en proyectos (23%) y la gamificación (13%), pero también la necesidad de mayor integración de simulaciones realistas (10%), RV (16.6%) y plataformas de gestión del aprendizaje (LMS) (20%) adaptadas a la mecánica automotriz. Se identificó una brecha en la investigación sobre la usabilidad de la interfaz (6.6%) y la accesibilidad (10%), así como en la evaluación rigurosa del impacto de los EVAs en el rendimiento académico. Finalmente, la conclusión enfatiza la importancia del aprendizaje práctico en mecánica automotriz, destacando la necesidad de que los EVAs repliquen la experiencia sensorial del taller, complementando, no reemplazando, la práctica real.

Christian existential anarchism by N.A. Berdyaev: originality and paradoxes
Authors: Рябов П.В.
Published: January 2025

Николай Бердяев по своим политическим и социальным воззрениям был левым либералом и персоналистическим социалистом. Однако его религиозно-философское мировоззрение можно с уверенностью охарактеризовать как христианский экзистенциальный анархизм. Абсолютная свобода личности, отрицание любых авторитетов и власти (Государства, Нации, Церкви и даже Бога) – вот главный мотив его творчества. Сам Бог, по его убеждению, не властен над человеческой свободой и ожидает от человека не подчинения, но творчества. И само христианство он понимал как эмансипацию личности. При этом к классическим формам социального анархизма Бердяев относился критически. Его анархизм носил ярко выраженный персоналистический и эсхатологический характер.

Nikolai Berdyaev, according his political and social views, was a left-king liberal and a personalist socialist. However, his religious and philosophical views were Christian existential anarchism. The absolute freedom of the individual, the negation of any authority and power (State, Nation, Church, even God) is the main motive of his works. God himself, in his opinion, has no power over human freedom and expect him not to obey but to create. And he understood Christianity as the emancipation of personality. At the same time, Berdyaev was critical of the classical forms of social anarchism. His anarchism was personalistic and eschatological in nature.

в статье на примере результатов социологического исследования жизненных целей, ориентиров, стратегий российской молодежи, проведенного в октябре 2023 года, авторами выделены и проанализированы основные профессиональные и карьерные установки респондентов. В исследовании принимали участие респонденты в возрасте от 14 до 35 лет, представляющие все федеральные округа Российской Федерации, объем выборки составил 1800 респондентов, являющихся студентами педагогических вузов и колледжей. Для большинства респондентов работа и карьера являются значимыми ценностями, что подтверждается высокими оценками ценностей «Работа» (4,5 балла) и «Карьера» (4,6 балла). Находясь в ситуации выбора между хорошо оплачиваемой и интересной работой, респонденты в большинстве своем предпочтут интересную работу, но при этом работа явно не является для них терминальной ценностью – большинство молодых людей не считает, что работа должна стоять у них на первом месте. В пользу того, что для опрошенных работа скорее инструментальная, чем терминальная ценность, говорит и то, что треть опрошенных согласились с вариантом, что они не работали бы, если бы такая возможность у них была. Половина молодых людей не хочет постоянно ездить на работу, предпочитая работу на дому, которая не связывает опрошенного обязательствами перед организацией. Большинство респондентов предпочитает искать себя через работу, а не строить традиционную карьеру, предполагающую затраты времени и сил в одной области.

in the report, using the example of the results of a sociological study of life goals, guidelines, and strategies of Russian youth, conducted in October 2023, the authors identified and analyzed the main professional and career attitudes of the respondents. The study involved respondents aged 14 to 35 years, representing all federal districts of the Russian Federation, the sample size was 1800 respondents who are students of pedagogical universities and colleges. For many respondents, work and career are significant values, which is confirmed by high ratings of the values "Work" (4.5 points) and "Career" (4.6 points). Being in a situation of choosing between a well–paid and interesting job, most respondents will prefer an interesting job, but at the same time, work is clearly not a terminal value for them – most young people do not believe that work should be in their first place. In favor of the fact that for the respondents, the work is more instrumental than terminal value, it is also said that a third of the respondents agreed with the option that they would not work if they had such an opportunity. Half of young people do not want to travel to work all the time, preferring to work at home, which does not bind the interviewee with obligations to the organization. Most respondents prefer to look for themselves through work, rather than building a traditional career that involves spending time and effort in one area.
