Authors: Latinović Luka , Banjac Aleksandar , Stojić Nemanja
Published: December 2023

The proportion of waste generated by demolition activities is substantial. Furthermore, there is a minuscule fraction of this waste that undergoes the process of recycling. With the exception of steel, the majority of materials, such as crushed concrete, are typically disposed of in wild landfills, a common problem in Serbia. Simultaneously, it is noteworthy that conventional concretes, extensively utilized in the construction sector, exhibit several shortcomings. The implementation of breakthrough technologies in the field of chemistry has the potential to significantly transform the approaches to permanent disposal of construction waste while also broadening the scope of potential applications for waste materials. This paper presents a comprehensive literature analysis to offer a novel perspective on the feasibility of utilising demolition waste in the manufacturing process of polymer concretes, a highly promising materials for underground constructions. This is due to its chemical composition and ability to provide effective waterproofing. The findings of this study suggest that demolition waste possesses significant potential as a viable raw material for the manufacturing of polymer concrete. However, it is evident that further advancements in recycling technology are necessary to enhance the cost competitiveness of polymer concrete derived from demolition waste in comparison to conventional concrete.

Information security is a key aspect of organizations' operations in today's digital age. This paper aims to analyze the importance of information security for organizations, investigating its impact on preserving the integrity, confidentiality and availability of data. Organizations are increasingly faced with complex challenges in explaining cyber threats, which emphasizes the necessity of implementing effective information security strategies. Effective data protection is the key to maintaining the trust of clients and partners, reducing financial losses and preserving the organization's reputation. In addition, information security has a significant impact on maintaining a competitive advantage, allowing organizations to innovate without fear of data loss or privacy breaches. A secure infrastructure also provides a foundation for compliance with regulatory requirements, thereby reducing the risk of legal consequences. Considering the rapid development of technology and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, organizations face the constant challenge of adapting their security strategies. Employee education is becoming a key component of the overall information security system, and organizations that invest resources in training and security awareness have a better ability to respond to potential threats. Information security is becoming a necessary pillar of modern business, protecting organizations from cyber risk, enhancing their reputation and providing the foundation for long-term success.
Investigating the credibility of online travel reviews adoption in trip planning intention among Indian travellers
Authors: Kaur Jasveen , Kaur Jobanjeet
Published: December 2023

Travelers evaluate online travel reviews usage through their argument quality and credibility of the source. As a result, travel marketers such as hoteliers, destination marketers and travel agency websites managers should set up mechanisms to assess tourists' concern to avoid unfavorable experience from social media reviews. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a scale and validate the modified Information Adoption Model (IAM) in the tourism context, while studying the impact of online review usefulness on its adoption. Secondly, the mediation role of travelers' attitude toward online reviews between review usefulness and its adoption is determined. Further, the credibility of online travel review adoption on the behavioral intentions of travelers has been assessed. This paper adapts the modified IAM given by Abedi et al. (2019) to develop scale and provide a comprehensive model in the tourism context. The study used 284 travelers who use online travel reviews from social media for their trip planning to evaluate the proposed model through SmartPLS software. The results show that online travel review usefulness significantly affects online travel review adoption. Secondly, the relationship between online review usefulness and its adoption is fully mediated by the mediating variable (attitude towards online travel reviews). Hence, this empirical paper intends to add to the research on online travel review adoption by travelers for their trip planning, considering the forwarding of information as one of the behavioral intentions along with purchase intentions, which depicts the novelty of this paper.
Resocialización del reo fuera de la sociedad para su reinserción a una sociedad excluyente, en el Perú
Authors: Castro Huamán José David , Vargas Luis Carmen Marleni
Published: December 2023

La resocialización del interno es un principio constitucional pendiente que coloca en tela de juicio al poder judicial. Las políticas aplicadas por el Poder Judicial (PJ), Ministerio Público (MP) y, el Instituto Nacional Penitenciario (INPE) y toda la logística del Estado, marcan una brecha entre el inicial peligroso estado de delincuente y el logro final de la resocialización del reo para el reingreso a la sociedad. El objetivo del artículo fue analizar el logro del principio de la resocialización del reo en los penales del Perú para su reinserción segura y pacífica a la sociedad. La metodología del estudio consistió en aplicar una encuesta con 5 preguntas dirigida a ex reclusos y a los familiares que visitaron con frecuencia el penal, luego, consultar información en fuentes validadas, organizar los resultados, aplicar el pensamiento crítico-complejo y comparar los resultados de las investigaciones con la realidad social nacional. Se utilizó el método de análisis jurídico. La lucha del Estado con todos los mecanismos legales y el potencial logístico, no ha logrado los subprincipios constitucionales de la reeducación, rehabilitación y reincorporación del excarcelado a la sociedad a pesar de disponer de un presupuesto económico elevado. Por otro lado, la misma sociedad haciendo corriente de opinión repudia al delincuente, pero permite el delito. La excarcelación sin lograr la reinserción a la sociedad, vulnera el principio de derecho constitucional de administración de justicia que la sociedad peruana reclama con justa razón porque genera una sociedad convulsionada por la delincuencia común y la corrupción de algunas esferas de la administración de justicia, postergando el desarrollo del país. Finalmente, se proponen algunas medidas que permitirán un cambio hacia una mejora sustantiva del sistema de administración de justicia. Se trata de la realidad de los penales que son fríos y aislados hacia penales dinámicos del modelo escuelas-fábricas, es decir, de penales consumidores hacia penales productores; logrando la resocialización y transformando de una sociedad excluyente a una incluyente. Para ello, en las resoluciones judiciales se debe plasmar la ruta de los subprincipios: reeducación, rehabilitación y reinserción para lograr el principio constitucional de la resocialización del interno.

Authors: Muhammad Aryo Dwinanda Mukti  , Kayus Kayowouan Lewoleba
Published: December 2023

The advocate's code of ethics also binds advocates to behave to maintain the dignity and good name of their profession. Violations of the code of ethics by well-known advocates such as Hotman Paris are a clear example that violations of professional ethics can harm the good name of the advocacy profession as a whole. This research uses normative juridical research methods with literature study. This research uses a case approach, namely cases of violations of the code of ethics committed by Hotman Paris. The results of the research show that even though they are free and independent law enforcers, advocates are still bound by the advocate's code of ethics which sets ethical and moral standards in carrying out their profession. The heavy disciplinary sanctions received by Hotman Paris reflect the seriousness of this violation of the ethical norms of the advocate profession. Even though Hotman Paris left the Indonesian Advocates Association, disciplinary sanctions remain in effect because they are related to violations of the advocate's code of ethics involving the Supreme Court.

But over time, they switched roles to become beggars, reflecting significant social change. The researcher found that the behavior carried out by the Awe-awe actors is a reflection of the Dramaturgy theory proposed by Erving Goffman. In their daily lives, awe-awe actors have a role that they play on the front stage. While on the other hand, they also hide their real life on the backstage. This research reveals the complexity of their social life, the reasons they choose this job due to economic limitations, and how they use various strategies to maintain the role of beggars. The research method used is qualitative with an ethnographic approach, using observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study provide insight into the social interactions of Awe-awe actors on the front stage and back stage of their lives.

Authors: Portilla Katherine , Pilatasig Ana Lucía , Camacho M. Alejandra
Published: December 2023

In Ecuador, studies of parasitic bat flies are scarce and biased towards the family Streblidae: reports indicate the existence of 50 species, five of them on the western lowlands. In this study, in addition to Streblidae, we include information of the family Nycteribiidae that has not been studied in Ecuador. Both families are associated with bats in several localities of the western lowlands of the country. We used samples from the associated collection of parasites of the Mammalogy Section of the Museo de Zoología at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (QCAZ-M), as well as the database of the collection that allowed obtaining information on the host taxa. Thus, 145 individuals of bats of 22 species of the families Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae and 424 individuals of 29 species of parasitic flies are reported. Of these, five species are new in Ecuador, 19 are confirmed records in the west and the geographic distribution was extended for species previously reported in this region. Trichobius joblingi was the most abundant parasitic fly species and together with Speiseria ambigua were associated with the greatest number of bat species. Species of the genus Carollia were the most abundant and harbored the greatest diversity of flies. The study constitutes the first extensive review of Diptera (Streblidae and Nycteribiidae) in the area and, therefore, contributes to expanding the knowledge of the diversity of ectoparasites of bats in Ecuador.

Trump e o Ocidente
Authors: Araújo Ernesto
Published: December 2023

O presidente Donald Trump propõe uma visão do Ocidente não baseada no capitalismo e na democracia liberal, mas na recuperação do passado simbólico, da história e da cultura das nações ocidentais. A visão de Trump tem lastro em uma longa tradição intelectual e sentimental,que vai de Ésquilo a Oswald Spengler, e mostra o nacionalismo como indissociável da essência do Ocidente. Em seu centro, está não uma doutrina econômica e política, mas o anseio por Deus, o Deus que agena história. Não se trata tampouco de uma proposta de expansionismo ocidental, mas de um pan ‑nacionalismo. O Brasil necessita refletir e definir se faz parte desse Ocidente.

The result of this research is that the character of respect has an important value for students and also for the teacher himself. Besides making the class more active, students' confidence becomes more confident in expressing their opinions. In the independent curriculum, the application of respect character values is easier to do with the implementation of problem-based and project-based learning models. With group work, students can directly apply the character of respect apart from getting the theory given by the teacher. Not to forget, the teacher must also conduct an evaluation on the emotional realm so that the application of the character of respect is more embedded in the chest of participants in the curriculum.

A casa comum: o bem de toda humanidade
Authors: Santos Benedito Tadeu dos
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo tem como proposta provocar uma reflexão sobre a casa comum, a oikos, e como a temática tem sido contemplada pelas diferentes tradições cristãs ao longo da história. Nunca se fez tão urgente um olhar retrospectivo e a busca por uma espiritualidade que seja ecumênica e ecológica. Para tanto, faz-se necessária uma nova chave hermenêutica diante da teologia da criação, tendo a pessoa humana não como dominadora ou destinada a consumir e usufruir dos bens naturais, como se fossem infinitos, como propõe o espírito capitalista. Mas, sim, encontrar no humano um cuidador de toda a espécie viva com a responsabilidade de deixar a casa comum como legado às gerações futuras. As referências usadas apresentarão o pano de fundo que traz a questão ecológica para o centro da discussão teológica, levando-nos à compreensão de que a casa comum foi usurpada como casa particular. Seus limites, quando explorados com toda a intensidade, geram o lucro de poucos e o extermínio de muitos, principalmente dos mais frágeis, desafiando o pensamento teológico, principalmente na América Latina e no Caribe a ser uma voz profética, numa perspectiva ecumênica e inter-religiosa que proclame que a casa comum é um bem para toda família humana.

O artigo visa apresentar a inter-relação possível entre o mandato cultural e o papel do sujeito ecológico. O mandato cultural é considerado um dos princípios fundamentais do sistema de crenças teísta. Ele objetiva que o ser humano atue como o seu promotor a partir da ótica da mordomia, visto que sua diretriz envolve uma ordem específica, a saber: a responsabilidade e o cuidado na preservação e conservação da criação. Neste sentido, busca-se responder a seguinte questão: se o ser humano compreende o mandato cultural como sua missão principal, por que é preciso legislar sobre sua responsabilidade com relação ao cuidado com a criação? Reconhece-se que a desordem e o caos produzidos ao meio ambiente podem ser considerados como uma distorção da missão confiada ao ser humano, por isso que ele se torna responsável direta e indiretamente por sua degradação, o que interfere no processo de preservação e conservação para as futuras gerações. Diante disso, a pesquisa parte de uma revisão bibliográfica de natureza descritiva por meio de aportes teóricos selecionados. A finalidade é contributiva, no sentido de constituir-se como mais um instrumento de alerta e conscientização. Afinal, a responsabilidade do sujeito ecológico, que envolve o olhar e o fazer diante do cuidado e do desenvolvimento sustentável, é sinal legítimo da voz profética a ser exercida.

The identification for skeletal remains is one of roles of forensic medicine. For this purpose, dating, i.e., estimating the birth year and death year is expected as useful, however has not yet been practically applied. A dating method using radiocarbon analysis was recently introduced and related studies have been reported. In this study, we tried to confirm the applicability of radiocarbon dating for the identification of skeletal remains and to develop formulas to estimate the death year. Thirty-four autopsy cases from the National Forensic Service, from December 2014 to July 2022, with known death year were selected for inclusion. For each case, two samples were taken: the spongy bone of the femur head, and the compact bone of the femur midshaft. For each sample, radiocarbon analysis was carried out and the corresponding femur year were calculated using the bomb peak curve. The differences between the femur year and the death year were determined and analyzed on the influence of variables. A formula for estimating the death year was developed and the applicability of the formula was determined. The results showed that the difference between death year and femur head year was 14.2 years on average. In male, the difference between death year and femur head year increased with age, however, it did not show any difference according to age in female. The estimation formula of death year was as follows: (In male) Death year=0.993×(Femur head year)+0.288×(Age)+15.061, (In female) Death year=0.769×(Femur head year)-0.218×(Age)+489.676. The formula for male had relatively high explanatory power (adjusted R2=0.710), however, the formula for female had low explanatory power (adjusted R2=0.588). This study is meaningful because it is the largest single study of its kind, to date, and uses specific and identical skeleton (femur head/femur midshaft) to increase the accuracy of the death year estimation. We expect that the results of this study will be supplemented through additional research in the future.

The number of migrant workers is increasing worldwide every year, and their number and role in Korean society is also increasing. However, the poor conditions faced by migrant workers often become a social issue, and it is not uncommon for them to be the subject of forensic autopsies. This study aimed to investigate the current status of medicolegal autopsy on migrant workers in Korea. We collected data of medicolegal autopsies on migrant workers conducted in Korea from 2016 to 2020 by requesting data from the institutions performing medicolegal autopsy. We calculated the autopsy rate and analyzed manner of death and cause of death. The medicolegal autopsy rate for foreign deaths was 16.4%, which was more than five times higher than the autopsy rate for Korean deaths. By manner of death, 43.7% were natural death, 6.4% were homicides, 8.5% were suicides, 23.6% were accidental deaths, 2.7% were undetermined unnatural deaths and 15.0% were unknown. These results showed a high rate of homicide, accidental death, and unknown death compared to Korean. And the proportion of industrial accident deaths and sudden manhood death syndrome were high. Through this study, it was confirmed that medicolegal autopsies are performed at a relatively high frequency when migrant workers die, and the characteristics related to the deaths of migrant workers were identified.
Education and Training of Clinical Forensic Examination in the Management of Child Abuse in Korea: Comparison with Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States of America

A physician is crucial in the early recognition and reporting of suspected child abuse cases to avoid fatal outcomes. In 2021, the reported rate of suspected child abuse by healthcare providers in Korea was only 1.1%. It appeared that the low reported rate by physicians are mostly due to lack of confidence in diagnosis. Clinical forensic examination by trained physicians is essential on the first physical examination on suspected cases of child abuse, focusing on documentation of injuries and preservation of evidence for legal processing. While Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States of America have their own education and training system of clinical forensic examination stressed on undergraduate medical students and physicians, the concept of clinical forensic medicine remains insufficiently known in Korea. To effectively implement the clinical forensic examination in the management of child abuse, it is essential to understand the current status of the curriculum for medical students and physicians. A more practical and integrated education program for medical students should be developed based on real cases incorporated by the experiences of forensic pathologists. Considering the overall shortage of forensic pathologists, pediatricians, and emergency medicine physicians concerned with child abuse, postgraduate training should be focused on securing a small number of clinicians and forensic pathologists specialized in clinical forensic examination to seize the referred cases of child abuse.

A death certificate (DC) can be considered a legal document and in terms of societal use, it is a public document. A DC includes facts such as the time and place of death, as well as judgments as to the cause and manner of death. Whether it pertains to facts or judgments, recording false information results in a false DC. According to the National Association of Medical Examiners (NAME) in the United States, it is acknowledged that there are varying opinions and approaches when it comes to classifying the manner of death. Therefore, it may require a final judgment, including input from the legal system. Generally, deaths resulting from complications that occur during drug administration or medical procedures are classified as natural deaths, while deaths due to unforeseen complications that occur suddenly, are categorized as accidental deaths. Applying this classification by NAME to the principles and legal precedents related to the duty of explanation and medical lowas of the Korean Medical Association, it is reasonable to classify deaths resulting from complication, during medical care, as natural death. However, if the death occurs due to injury or poisoning during medical care, it falls under external causes, according to the principle of following the primary cause. In conclusion, it is considered reasonable to classify complications that occur during medical treatment as natural deaths when they are foreseeable and within the accepted range of complications determined by medical standards at that the time.
