Authors: Villegas Richard Ryan
Published: April 2022

The history of the Military Bases Agreement (MBA) between the US and the Philippines brings a dynamic view of Philippine foreign policy. The Philippine foreign policy has to change to respond to the changing needs of the changing times. Among the areas of foreign policy that is very significant is the military aspect as it provides social, economic advantages. This study aims to provide a historical overview of the MBA and its implication towards the adoption of a military foreign policy of the Philippines from 1947-1991. Explanations on how the MBA has shaped the Philippine foreign policies from 1947-1991 were provided. This historical study utilized the descriptive-analytical-narrative method and theory of military dependency. The following are the major findings of the study: 1) The Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union became a major factor in the establishment of military bases in the Philippines; 2) The massive task of rebuilding a war-devastated nation was aided by extensive American assistance. However, the Philippines faced a major problem of Communist insurgency dominated by the Hukbong Mapagpalaya sa Bayan (HMB) guerrillas; 3) The MBA had undergone several amendments during the administrations of Manuel A. Roxas to Corazon C. Aquino, and; 4) The MBA paved way for the signing of more recent military agreements such as the the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA).
First Mediterranean record of Micropilina minuta Warén, 1989 (Monoplacophora: Neopilinidae)
Authors: Giusti Francesco , Micali Pasquale
Published: April 2022

The lilliputian and elusive monoplacophoran Micropilina minuta Warén, 1989 is recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean basin upon various records of empty shells trawled between 270 and 700 m in the Tuscan Archipelago (northern Tyrrhenian Sea). Our data reveal that Micropilina minuta often co-occurs with the only other monoplacophoran previously recorded in the Mediterranean, Veleropilina reticulata (Seguenza G., 1876).Micropilina minuta Warén, originally described on material from Iceland, was later found in the lower Pleistocene of Archi (Reggio Calabria, Italy). Although some shells are definitely fresh, the absence of live collected specimens leaves open the possibility that the species is no longer living in the Mediterranean Sea.Micropilina minuta differs from V. reticulata for the more ovoidal outline, constricted toward the apex and the presence of about seven deep pits instead of shallow, not well-defined pits, on the apical cup.

ABSTRACTThis article aims to answer 1) why a breakthrough is needed to realize legal certainty in land registration; and 2) how a positive publication system can achieve legal certainty in land registration. Land registration has a high urgency because it is one of the elements in supporting the welfare of the people. This welfare is related to legal certainty and the fulfillment of governance needs which is manifested in guaranteeing legal protection for land management. However, there are still various problems related to land registration, especially the case of double certificates and the weakness of negative publications that create legal uncertainty. These various problems require changes in the publication system so that it becomes more secure in terms of legal certainty in terms of land registration. This article is normative using statutory, case and conceptual approach. The results show: (1) The urgency of the breakthrough to realize legal certainty in land registration is the number of cases of double certificates and negative land publications that are prone to errors; (2) Form of land registration with legal certainty through a positive publication system is realized by revitalizing the substance of land regulations with positive publications and improving the database of the land registration systemKeywords : land registration, positive publication

Introdução: A forma tradicional de educação, baseada em aulas expositivas, nas quais os professores são figuras protagonistas e o estudante é colocado na posição de espectador passivo, ainda é a mais utilizada pela maioria das instituições de ensino. Entretanto, alguns métodos podem transformar o estudante em ator diretamente responsável pela obtenção do seu conhecimento e demonstram ser eficazes ao incentivar autonomia e raciocínio. Ademais, durante a pandemia do Covid-19, houve a necessidade de modificação do método de ensino, sendo necessário o investimento em metodologias ativas e atrativas, como jogos eletrônicos, para garantir que a aprendizagem ocorra de forma satisfatória. Portanto, este relato objetiva descrever a experiência da elaboração de um jogo didático por estudantes de medicina para seus pares. Relato de experiência: A partir da proposta de um trabalho acadêmico do curso de medicina, houve a criação do jogo intitulado “Pâncrea Bit”, do tipo role playing game (RPG) storyteller, no qual houve a integração de conteúdos do curso médico (diabetes tipo 3C e pancreatite crônica) e a divisão de funções entre os 13 integrantes do grupo. Ademais, foi produzido um material didático com os assuntos abordados do jogo e animações em imagens complementares. Discussão: Apesar de não haver comprovação científica da eficácia do método ativo, através de jogos, em relação ao método tradicional, quando se trata de formar melhores profissionais, sabe-se que essa forma de ensino aumenta a satisfação do educando. Isso foi demonstrado com a participação maciça de outros estudantes na condução e resolução dos quizzes do “Pâncrea Bit”. Conclusão: A gamificação despertou interesse, motivação e introdução do aluno como protagonista, além de contribuir para a memória de longo prazo, mostrando-se um método válido e aplicável para a solidificação do conhecimento em diversos estágios de aprendizagem.

Неотъемлемым элементом национальной практики применения лишения свободы является учет требований международно-правовых актов в сфере исполнения и отбывания наказаний. Обеспечение условий изоляции осужденных, соответствующих потребностям гуманизации, правопорядка и безопасности, а также необходимой строгости карательного воздействия выступает гарантией эффективности уголовно-правового принуждения. Условия отбывания лишения свободы создают возможности лимитизированного объема удовлетворения важнейших потребностей осужденных, связанных с их жизнедеятельностью и развитием в условиях изоляции. При этом создается необходимая для применения наказания депривационная обстановка, формируются стимулы для исправления и формирования позитивной ресоциализационной направленности личности. Существенное значение для национальной пенитенциарной практики имеют рекомендации международно-правового характера, касающиеся оборудования жилых помещений, а также иных возможностей для поддержания здоровья в условиях изоляции. Они позволяют обеспечить психологическое и физическое благополучие осужденных, отбывающих наказание в исправительных учреждениях.

An integral element of the national practice of applying deprivation of liberty is taking into account the requirements of international legal acts in the field of execution and serving of sentences. Ensuring the conditions of isolation of convicts that meet the needs of humanization, law and order and security, as well as the necessary severity of punitive impact, are a guarantee of the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement. The conditions of serving of imprisonment create opportunities for a limited amount of satisfaction of the most important needs of convicts related to their vital activity and development in isolation. At the same time, the necessary diprivation environment is created for the application of punishment, incentives are formed for correction and the formation of a positive resocialization orientation of the individual. Recommendations of an international legal nature concerning the equipment of residential premises, as well as other opportunities for maintaining health in isolation, are of significant importance for national penitentiary practice. They make it possible to ensure the psychological and physical well-being of convicts serving sentences in correctional institutions.

A Consumer Law Perspective on the Commercialization of Data
Authors: Lech Franciszek , Durovic Mateja
Published: April 2022

Commercialization of consumers’ personal data in the digital economy poses serious, both conceptual and practical, challenges to the traditional approach of European Union (EU) Consumer Law. This article argues that mass-spread, automated, algorithmic decision-making casts doubt on the foundational paradigm of EU consumer law: consent and autonomy. Moreover, it poses threats of discrimination and undermining of consumer privacy. It is argued that the recent legislative reaction by the EU Commission, in the form of the ‘New Deal for Consumers’, was a step in the right direction, but fell short due to its continued reliance on consent, autonomy and failure to adequately protect consumers from indirect discrimination. It is posited that a focus on creating a contracting landscape where the consumer may be properly informed in material respects is required, which in turn necessitates blending the approaches of competition, consumer protection and data protection laws.
An exploration on stimulating game developers' engagement using sandbox game development environment in higher education design courses
Authors: Xian Tengfei
Published: April 2022

The motivation to stimulate college students to learn and participate in game development courses can be found from the following facts: learning itself is not always motivated. This paper presents a user experience method of creating game courses on sandbox game development platform. The core idea is that by making college students feel involved in creating games, they can stimulate their interest in game development. It is assumed that this method can improve college students' participation in game development and promote their understanding of learning perception. In order to test this hypothesis, this paper describes the experience of 71 college students' game development courses with ages between 19 and 21 years old. The results show that college student's satisfaction is significantly improved in this process. It can be concluded that the sandbox game development platform has the interest and motivation to stimulate the participation of college students or game developers.

Authors: Heilala Janne
Published: April 2022

The study discussed observations from 8-electrode brain-control interface (BCI) recordings and investigated its connectomic structure. The subject repeatedly controlled the operating system by concentrating creatively and producing recordable signals. The research problem was to understand recorded psychometric data and prove its validity. Sample observational size (n = 6’825) was selected using clustering sampling from successfully recorded stimulations (N >= 200’000) in a Virtual Reality (VR) development environment. The empirical Structural Equation Model (SEM) was modeled. Through SEM, rotated data was simplified with Factor Analysis (FA). Hypothesis testing reveals distinctions and correlation predictions in non-invasively placed electrodes on the cerebral hemisphere. In conclusion, the β-values of electrodes placed to the right instead predict adverse effects to the left electrodes during processing visual sensory inputs.

Nowadays, product design emphasizes to start from user experience, excavate us-er's own behavior characteristics, realize self-perception of people and environment, so as to better show the use experience of products. In this paper, based on the theory of affordance and behavior logic as the clue, through the analysis of the affordance matrix of home smart curtain, the possible affordance relationship be-tween components and people is extracted. Based on this, the whole cycle process of intelligent curtain is explored, and many problems of curtain in structure longi-tudinal and control panel are analyzed. Based on the design method, the hierarchical relationship and gap in the behavioral logic are reflected, and a behavior design method based on affordance is proposed, which is to identify the environment, improve the use process, find common characteristics, and enhance the hierarchical relationship of the perception of affordance. Through affordance, it is possible to form a good interaction relationship based on human-thing-environment and promote the iteration of product design.
Gait Analysis for Rehabilitation using Rigid and Flexible Exoskeletons
Authors: Dizor Robert , M Mizanoor Rahman S , Raj Anil
Published: April 2022

Diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems have afflicted humans since recorded history. Similarly, injuries and related trauma of one form or another have impaired human ambulation or even made it impossible to stand, walk, run or even to sit or squat. Stretchers, crutches, wheelchairs, and exoskeletons have been developed to help improve the mobility of these disabled individuals, but often require assistance from others to some degree, limiting patient autonomy. To ascertain which assistive devices might be better suited to a particular patient with an ambulation disability or weakness, the healthcare providers must perform an assessment of the individual’s gait to first under-stand the underlying symptomatic deficits, diseases, or injuries. This paper reviews how exoskeletons can with respect to the gait cycle assist the weak and elderly as well as patients with specific diseases or injuries that impact ambulation.
