Infant mortality refers to deaths of children under one year of age, subdivided into neonatal mortality (early and late neonatal) and post-neonatal mortality, being considered an indicator for assessing the population's health situation. The study aimed at describing the infant mortality rates due to preventable causes, in children under one year of age and in the state of Alagoas, during 2017. A descriptive and cross-sectional ecological study was carried out, with a quantitative approach on mortality rates in the age group of children under one year old, based on secondary data available in the Mortality Information System, by the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde, [DATASUS]). This study was carried out from November to December 2019. During this period, in the state of Alagoas, 793 deaths due to preventable causes among children under five years of age were recorded in the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System. 83.98% (n=666) of these deaths corresponded to children under one year of age, with death cases in the early neonatal period being the most prevalent, followed by deaths in the post-neonatal and late neonatal periods. Among the cities in Alagoas, Maceió ranks first and Arapiraca is in second place in relation to the infant mortality rate.

Authors: Rosenje, Musharafa Olapeju  , Mr. Onyebuchi, Udochukwu Joel  , Adeniyi, Oluwatobi Peter
Published: August 2022

Recently, Africa has been labeled a theatre of war due to incessant terrorist attacks that plagued its landscape. This situation, among others, explains why the continent's development has been slow or stagnated in all spheres, and Africa has been accorded little recognition in the international arena. Against this background, this paper examined the effects of terrorism on the security of African nations. The descriptive method was adopted, and a secondary source of data collection was used in sourcing relevant data. At the same time, content analysis was utilized as a framework for analyzing the data. The paper revealed that though terrorism and insurgency have been issues rooted in history, they have recently become serious challenges to the security of African nations, impacting negatively on African nations and their development. The paper posited that religious prejudice, deprivations, and the feeling of neglect are the underlying factors breeding terrorism and insurgency in Africa. It further averred that though a lot of combative efforts have been made to checkmate the trend of these phenomena in Africa, such have, however, achieved limited success. It is due to a combination of factors ranging from weak leadership to confronting the phenomena, corruption, and the porosity of national borders, which encouraged illegal migration of people that form the core of terrorists'/insurgents militia, and accentuated arms proliferation, among others. The paper is a modest effort in order to arrest this unpleasant situation and extreme religious radicalism, which should be timely nipped in the mud. The security architecture of African nations needs to be re-engineered and directed towards generating employment opportunities for their increasing youth population. Also, collaboration in intelligence gathering and information sharing should be encouraged among African nations to ensure early response to such challenges.
Corporate Governance by South African State-Owned Entities (SOEs) – Contributing to Achieving Agenda 2063
Authors: Barry Ackers
Published: August 2022

Following centuries of institutional colonization, Africa remains in dire need of development and has failed to realize its potential to drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity. Despite the residual contribution of Africa’s colonial legacy to this malaise, it is suggested that African states should stop blaming coloniality for their failure to develop and accept responsibility for their own socioeconomic development. To arrest the downward spiral and provide the platform necessary to drive sustainable development across the African continent, the African Union launched Agenda 2063. To claim its rightful place in the global economy with a renewed focus on accountability, African states must change their development trajectory and address the economic, environmental, social, and governance interests of their legitimate stakeholders as they strive for sustainable development and their beneficiaries with added value. African states can no longer afford to remain passive participants in the process, providing raw materials for beneficiation by the Global North. The findings of this paper are based on the assertion that effectively governed state-owned entities (SOEs) represent vehicles available to states to leverage their drive for socioeconomic development in their respective countries, thereby contributing to achieving the Agenda 2063 goals. Despite relying on quantitative data to inform a corporate governance conformance matrix, purposively developed from the OECD Guidelines, World Bank Toolkit, and Agenda 2063, the study adopts an interpretative approach to thematically analyze the content of the published annual reports of South African SOEs. While the relatively high conformance scores achieved by the South African SOEs appear to suggest conformance with strong corporate governance practices. It belies the fact that several of these highly compliant SOEs are currently under investigation in relation to numerous instances of serious fraud and corruption. The incongruence of these public disclosures with the de facto situation implies that they do not represent a meaningful attempt by SOEs to discharge their governance obligations effectively. Instead, they may simply be an attempt to placate stakeholders that these SOEs were being effectively governed rather than to account to stakeholders meaningfully. The study concludes that merely imposing a regulatory, corporate governance framework will not be sufficient to ensure the effectiveness of governance in SOEs, but rather that effective processes must be established to monitor and enforce compliance with these frameworks, together with effective consequence management for non-compliance.

Published: August 2022

Didactical transposition plays a pivotal role in implementing reflective practice of a mathematics teacher community. Didactical transposition is a systematic approach to examine and enhance learning materials. Didactical transposition within reflective practice is conducted collaboratively between teacher trainers and teacher participants to produce an effective didactical design in encountering student learning obstacles. Thus, the objective of this study is to portray didactical transposition process accomplished by teacher trainers and teacher participants in the implementation of teacher reflective practice in the community. This study employed a methodological framework known didactical design research. Didactical design research in accordance with a reflective framework consists of four phases which are preparation, design/reflective planning for action, design/reflective implementation in action, and design/reflective evaluation and reflection after action. Research participants encompassed a teacher trainer, thirteen teachers, and thirty students. Data collection procedures were completed by employing observation and documentation. This study resulted in a didactical design which was obtained through a didactical transposition process performed by teacher and teacher trainer participants. The study discovered that didactical design developed collaboratively through didactical transposition within reflective practice in community was proven effective in overcoming the obstacles of student learning due to learning materials. Research findings are expected to be a model of professional learning for mathematics teachers in the community.
Uma análise do Evangelho de Nicodemos e sua relação com o artigo de fé da descida de Cristo à mansão dos mortos.
Authors: Da Silva Roberto Marcelo
Published: August 2022

O Evangelho de Nicodemos é certamente o modelo mais influente e mais difundido de uma narrativa da descida de Cristo aos infernos. Mesmo não sendo a única fonte de autores medievais que falaram desse evento na história da salvação, o Evangelho de Nicodemos não foi o menos importante seja direta ou indiretamente. A influência da narrativa da Descida de Cristo aos infernos que se apresenta no Evangelho de Nicodemos se faz frequentemente sentir e pode ser identificado através da presença de vários personagens, sequências e discursos específicos ou ainda por episódios característicos. O Evangelho de Nicodemos se apresenta com uma linguagem dramática, colorida na sua maior parte na terceira seção do Evangelho apócrifo.

Há uma empresa comum a todos os batizados, membros da ekklêsía: a missão que o Senhor lhes confiou. A missão consiste num movimento que, originando-se no Pai, extrapolou os “limites” da intimidade trinitária, com o derramamento do Espírito Santo e a encarnação do Verbo Eterno. Este movimento missionário, protagonizado pelo Espírito, vem ultrapassando as barreiras de espaço e de tempo e visa atingir toda a criação, para nela difundir a dinâmica da recriação que tudo faz convergir a Cristo, gerando comunhão. Considera-se que a sinodalidade é filha da comunhão e que a comunhão da Igreja culmina na missão. Koinonia remete a uma parceria com vistas a uma empresa comum. Visa-se com este artigo, apontar a sinodalidade como o modus operandi da comunhão na missão, para que ocorra a interação missionária, orgânica e corresponsável, de todas as forças carismático-ministeriais concedidas à Igreja.
A PROOF OF DIELS-ALDER EXO ISOMER MECHANISTIC SURPRISE
Authors: Olanrewaju A. O. , Adeosun N. O.
Published: August 2022

Critical analysis of published works shows that there is no evidence that any Diel- Alder reactions took place in a synchronous manner. The Diel-Alder reactions is a 4+2 cyclo addition of conjugated dienes and dinophiles which represents some mechanistic surprises of endo and exo products/isomers. Kinetically, endo product is more preffered to exo isomer because of its low activation energy. Therefore this experiment is carried out to support Diel-Alder exo-configuration product. The preparation of exo-cis-3,6- endoxotetrahydrophthalic anhydride (16.9g, 44.86%) with melting point 116.80c – 120.50c with IR 1781,1857 recorded on perkin elmer spectrum, Bx-FT IR system using KBr disk and 1Hr NMR(500MHz CDC13) using the Reichert Thermovar hot stage melting point apparatus by the reaction of furan(25g, 0.368mol) and maleic anhydride (22g, 0.224 mol) in diethylether. Preparation of bromolactonic acid and pseudo ester were also discussed. It was found out that the Diel-Alder product is exo-configuration as the literature of melting point of their exo-adduct is 1140c and for this experiment is 116.80c. Also, NMR spectrum of this experiment shows a signal for most proton and its absorption which is a proof. The IR spectrum shows that most functional groups behave as expected. It is then concluded that the product of this experiment is exo- isomer/product which is more thermodynamically stable as Diel- Alder exo-product indicated by the melting point and still remains significant and a major product.

Authors: Konne J. L. , Achiode A. C. , Hamilton-Amachree A.
Published: August 2022

Alginate (an extract from seaweed e.g. Sargassum fluitans) that finds applications largely in nanotechnology, industrial/pharmaceutical processes have not been produced locally. Sargassum fluitans harvested from Agbama Sea, in Andoni, Rivers State was dried, ground and reacted with CaCl2 (3.02g) in 300 ml of deionized water. The mixture was allowed to stand for 24 h before filtration and the residue reacted with 1 % HCl in 100 ml of distilled water for 1 h. The recovered residue was washed thrice with 300 ml of distilled water and reacted further with Na2CO3 (containing 9.66 g in 300 ml of distilled water) for 24 h before the addition of 250 ml of distilled water. This was allowed to stand for 1 h before filtration. The filtrate was then mixed with 1:1 (vol/vol) Ethanol/water and allowed to stand. The mixture separated into two layers and the denser bottom layer was collected with a separatory funnel and allowed to dry for 72 h to form a light brownish sodium alginate powder. Similarly, MgSO4.7H2O was extracted from brackish water, by reacting the evaporated salt with CaO to precipitate Mg(OH)2 which was further reacted with 0.1 M HCl and the mixture evaporated to yield MgCl2. The recovered MgCl2 was stoichiometrically reacted with (NH4)2SO4 to crystallize MgSO4.7H2O upon heating. It was tailored to nanoscale by adding 10 ml of alginate solution (0.1 g in 100 ml of water) to several volumes (10, 20, 30 and 40 ml) of 0.1 M MgSO4.7H2O mixed thoroughly, dried and ashed at 750 ˚C to eliminate the alginate residue. The resultant porous aggregate polycrystallites are shown on the Scanning Electron Microcopy (SEM) micrographs. Antimicrobial activity with Agar well diffusion method showed that the nanoparticles and the bulk sample both were non susceptible to pseudomonas aeruginosa being a known macronutrient. SEM, UV-Vis and FTIR analysis confirmed tailored differences with varied alginate gel volume used.

Identification of Different Shallow Foundations Using 3D Electrical Resistivity Modeling
Authors: Eissa Raad
Published: August 2022

The electrical resistivity method has been successfully used to detect shallow buried foundations, almost, by using 2D electrode arrays. Basic geometry foundations (e.g., buried walls) have been investigated, although, more complicated foundation designs (e.g., stepped footing, pile group with a pile cap) are widely used in the construction industry. Investigation of these complicated foundation types, and engaging 3D surveys, therefore, are required. Multiple 3D electrical resistivity forward modeling was used to simulate different foundations (isolated simple footing, isolated stepped footing, combined simple footings, and pile group with a pile cap). The generated data sets then inverted using a robust inversion algorithm where RES3DINVx64 was used to perform the inversion process for the 3D models. The results from the 3D inverse modeling, suggest the pole-dipole and dipole-dipole arrays for all the investigated foundations.

Published: August 2022

Source rock potentiality and reservoir characteristics of the Baluti Formation (Late Triassic), Northern Iraq were examined in order to determine the hydrocarbon generation potential and reservoir properties. A combination of geochemical analyses, stable carbon isotope, 1D-basin modeling and digital log data were used to evaluate the formation. The Total Organic Carbon ratios range from 0.39 to 0.61 wt%, while the quantity of free hydrocarbon and residual hydrocarbon are low (0.05-0.11, 0.40-0.90 mg/g respectively). The average of oxygen index is 318 mg CO2/g TOC, while the hydrogen index is less than 200 mg HC/g TOC, which indicates type III kerogen. The outcomes of the pristane/phytane and Pr/n-C17 with Ph/n-C18 ratios suggest that the formation was deposited under oxic environment. This conclusion is also supported by trace elemental data. According to the average of Ro% of 0.58 and Tmax of 430.1oC, the formation is in immature to early mature stage. From a plot of 1D-modeled Ro% versus time, it is inferred that the organic matter of the formation had reached early maturation in the Early Paleocene (63Ma). The Baluti is waxier formation and the degree of waxiness ranges from 1.99-2.55. Regarding to, Triterpanes (Tm/Ts) and regular sterane C27-C29 the studied formation has deposited in terrestrial environment with high terrigenous input with hot and arid to semiarid climates. This result is supported by stable carbon isotopic data and clay mineralogy. Porosity of the dolomite beds is 10-15%. Based on the cutoff results, the Baluti Formation has only 1.13m net pay of 72m thickness, which means that the formation has poor porosity and permeability in the reservoir beds.

Published: August 2022

The Mishrif Formation is among southern Iraq's most important reservoirs, which contains a third of the oil in the Cretaceous reservoirs, which is a broad carbonaceous succession in Iraq and the surrounding area. For detecting differences in the geochemical characteristics of crude oil, three crude oil samples were obtained from the Mishrif carbonate reservoir intervals in the Cretaceous at the Zubair, Halfaya and Buzurgan oilfields in southern Iraq. Analyses utilize API gravity, sulfur concentration, Gc, Gc/MS, and bulk carbon isotope compositions. The low API (23 to 28) and high sulfur content (4.45 to 5.36 wt%) of the oils studied can be linked to the deposition of a marine carbonate environment under sulfate-reducing environments. The anoxic, non-biodegradation, organic matter type II-S, marine carbonate depositional was indicated by the pristane/ nC17 (0.16 to 0.26), phytane/ nC18 (0.29 to 0.31), narrow Pr/Ph ratio range from 0.76 to 0.78, high C29/C30 hopane ratios of 1.01–1.71, and low C26/C25 tricyclic terpene ratios in the related source-rock. TAS3 (CR) ratios of 0.33 to 0.36, C27 Ts of 0.18 to 0.22, and 29 sterane 20S/20R sterane ratios all refer to early maturity. Biomarker parameters and bulk carbon isotope values in the oil analysis match those found in the Sulaiy and Yamama sources of the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous.
Health Related Challenges of Rural Elderly Living in Co-Residential Family Care Arrangements
Authors: Mefteh Kidus Yenealem
Published: August 2022

Family plays an indispensable role in the care and support of the rising number of older people particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia where the system of public transfer is minimal. Previous studies in Ethiopia focus on institutionalized and urban-dwelling elderly with little attention to the elderly in the informal care paradigm and rural areas. This study aims to explore the health-related experiences of dependent rural elderly who get care and support within a family setting. A phenomenology method was used, and in-depth interviews were employed to collect data from purposively sampled elders. Data were inductively coded and developed into themes. Physical health and psychosocial challenges of dependent elderly in rural areas include vision and mobility problems; loneliness, grief, and sadness; feelings of inferiority in the family; abuse and neglect; lack of meaningful activities; and the feeling of being a burden on the family. Families of elderly people often experience economic conditions that make it difficult for them to provide adequate care. The findings suggest actions policymakers and other stakeholders could undertake to enhance the wellbeing and welfare of rural elderly rural in Ethiopia, including improved access to supportive technologies, day care facilities that enhance social engagement and access to healthcare, and economic support for caregivers.

The aim of this work is to show the simulation of the nuclear decay of Iodine isotopes using the Mathematica software package. The nuclear decay of Iodine occurs most often during nuclear accidents in various types of nuclear facilities, during which radioactive isotopes are produced. Radioactive Iodine isotopes lead to the manifestation of harmful side effects, but with the development of science, it has been established that some of them can be used for diagnostic purposes and to detect certain types of carcinoma. The software package itself makes it possible to actively change the parameters in real time that are characteristic for the nuclear decay of Iodine. Graphically by displaying the exponential curves for decayed and non-decayed nuclei, the ratio of the number of undecayed nuclei as a function of the elapsed time can be directly calculated. The model can be implemented in classes and enables students to better understand nuclear decay in the undergraduate courses of Physics, Physics 2 and Computer simulation of physical phenomena.

is study was conducted to examine the influence of workplace spirituality on job satisfaction; workplace spirituality on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB); workplace spirituality on organizational commitment; job satisfaction on organizational citizenship behavior; organizational commitment on organizational citizenship behavior; and gender role as a moderating variable on the influence of job satisfaction, workplace spirituality, organizational commitment on OCB. The survey was performed in all public notary offices in Bangli Regency, with 76 permanent staff serving as respondents. The Partial Least Square (SEM PLS) strategy was utilized to analyze the data. Before the model is pronounced excellent, the results of the entire model assessment are based on the value of Q-Square Predictive Relevance (Q2), R-Square (R2) and Goodness of Fit (GoF). The test findings show that workplace spirituality (WPS) has a substantial beneficial impact on job satisfaction, indicating that the hypothesis is correct. The hypothesis is accepted because the test findings show that workplace spirituality (WPS) positively influences organizational citizenship behavior. The test findings show that workplace spirituality (WPS) has a substantial favorable influence on organizational commitment, indicating that the hypothesis is correct. The hypothesis is rejected because the test findings show that job satisfaction (JS) has no influence on OCB. The hypothesis is accepted because the test findings show that employee organizational commitment has a strong beneficial influence on organizational citizenship behavior. As a consequence of the hypothesis testing on gender as a moderator, it can be concluded that gender is not a moderator in the accepted model.

Authors: Kitta Pasrah , Indar Indar , Alwi Sabir
Published: August 2022

The hospital is a complex organization that regulates many things and has a high risk. Thus it requires rules that become the basis and guidelines for running medical services. The regulation is Hospital by Laws, an internal hospital regulation that includes internal corporate regulations and internal regulations for medical staff, which are compiled based on the conditions and needs of the hospital. Hospital by Law is an important legal instrument to improve good clinical governance carried out by the medical committee. However, there are obstacles to its implementation, especially in applying Hospital by Laws in several hospitals. This study aims to determine the application of Hospital Laws and the role of the medical committee in improving good clinical governance. This research was conducted using an empirical approach by discussing legal symptoms' social aspects. The analytical method is a qualitative analysis by analyzing data collected from interviews with several respondents and secondary data in legal literature. The results showed that Hospital by Laws in the three (3) hospitals studied had not been implemented optimally. It is indicated by the low level of understanding of the hospital stakeholders about Hospital Laws. In addition, it was found that to improve good clinical governance, the medical committee has not been able to carry out its role optimally.

The study aims to determine and analyze the application of corporate social responsibility accounting at PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero). This research is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach. The results of the study indicate accounting practices (recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure) of the costs of corporate social responsibility by PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) are under the Basic Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (KDPPLK). PT Kawasan Industri Makassar (Persero) already has a specific financial report that refers to SAK ETAP, which is oriented to the non-profit sector by establishing a Small Business and Cooperative Development Unit, which is now called the Partnership and Community Development Program Unit (PKBL) which has been edited by Public accounting firm. There are no normative rules related to the cost accounting for CSR and the importance of environmental and social factors, so the findings of this study have practical implications for other business actors who should have their own business units that focus on social and environmental aspects.
ON NONTRIVIAL SOLVABILITY OF ONE CLASS OF NONLINEAR INTEGRAL EQUATIONS WITH CONSERVATIVE KERNEL ON THE POSITIVE SEMI-AXIS
Authors: Khachatryan Khachatur A. , Hakobyan Alexander R.
Published: August 2022

The work is devoted to a special class of nonlinear integral equations on the positive semi-axis with conservative kernel that corresponds to a nonlinear operator, for which the property of complete continuity in the space of bounded functions fails. In different special cases this class of equations has applications in particular branches of mathematical physics. In particular, this kind of equations can be met in the radiative transfer theory, kinetic theory of gases, kinetic theory of plasma and in the $p$-adic open-closed string theory. Using a combination of special iterations with the monotonic operator theory methods, that work in defined conical segments it is possible to prove a constructive existence theorem of nonnegative nontrivial bounded solution that has finite limit at infinity. The asymptotics of the constructed solution will also be studied. It is also given an example of nonlinear equation, for which the uniqueness of the solution in the space of bounded functions fails. At the end of the paper will consider some classes of equations both applied and pure theoretical character.

ON AUTOMORPHISM GROUPS OF ENDOMORPHISM SEMIGROUPS OF FINITE ELEMENTARY ABELIAN GROUPS
Authors: Bayramyan Arman A.
Published: August 2022

In this article, we explore the automorphisms of endomorphism semigroups and automorphism groups of the finite elementary Abelian groups. In particular, we prove that $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathrm{End}(\Z_p\oplus\Z_p\oplus\cdots\oplus\Z_p))$ can be canonically embedded into $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathrm{Aut}(\Z_p\oplus\Z_p\oplus\cdots\oplus\Z_p))$ using an elementary approach based on matrix operations. We also show that all automorphisms of $\mathrm{End}(\Z_p\oplus\Z_p\oplus\cdots\oplus\Z_p)$ are inner.
IMAGING OF MICROWAVE NEAR-FIELD DISTRIBUTION OF GPS PATCH ANTENNA
Authors: Baghdasaryan Zhirayr A.
Published: August 2022

Microwave near-field distribution of the GPS patch antenna was visualized by a thermo-elastic optical indicator microscopy (TEOIM) technique at $1.575~GHz$. Visualization of the antenna radiation is realized to describe the electromagnetic field intensity and distribution depending on the distance from the antenna surface and optical indicator. Experimental data was compared and confirmed with simulation results, which are in good agreement. Possible applications of the TEOIM system were discussed.
Yaşlılarda Telerehabilitasyon

Tıp bilimi ve teknolojisindeki gelişmelerle birlikte küresel olarak beklenen yaşam süresinin uzaması, sağlık hizmetlerinin yaşlanan topluma sunulma şeklinin değiştirilmesini gerektirmiştir. Telerehabilitasyon, değerlendirme, teşhis ve tedaviyi içeren klinik rehabilitasyon hizmetlerini ifade eden özel bir telesağlık alanıdır. Kronik hastalığı olan ve sağlık hizmetlerine erişim zorluğu yaşayan yaşlı popülasyon için cazip bir seçenek haline gelmiştir. Egzersiz ve tedavi programlarının disipline edilmesi ve doğru yönlendirilmesi için yüz yüze yapılması gerekmektedir. Ancak rehabilitasyon almak isteyen yaşlıların rehabilitasyon merkezlerine veya hastanelere gitmesi gerekmekte olup, zaman ve maliyet gerektirmektedir. Sağlık hizmetleri açısından yaşlılara verilebilecek en etkili hizmetin, kişinin kendini rahat hissettiği kendi ortamlarında gerçekleştirilen hizmet olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ev tabanlı programların, özellikle uzun vadede egzersiz ve rehabilitasyon programlarına uyum açısından, yaşlı bireyler için merkez tabanlı programlardan daha üstün olduğu bildirilmiştir. 2019 koronavirüs hastalığı (Covid-19) pandemisi, yaşlılarda ciddi hastalık geliştirme riskini artırması nedeniyle, yaşlılara sunulan rehabilitasyon hizmetlerinin, özellikle de verilme şeklinin değiştirilmesini gerektirmiştir. Covid-19 pandemisi fiziksel aktivite ve psikolojik durumu olumsuz etkilemiştir. Pandemi sırasında, kontaminasyon riskini önlemek için zorunlu karantina ve sosyal izolasyon koşulları, yüz yüze hizmetlere sınırlı erişim ve ciddi akut solunum yolu sendromu koronavirüs-2'ye (SARS-CoV-2) potansiyel maruz kalma endişesi telerehabilitasyon gerekliliğini artırmıştır. Ek olarak, kurallarda, düzenlemelerde ve sigorta geri ödemesinde yapılan son değişikliklerle, telerehabilitasyonun kullanılması teşvik edilmiştir. Tıp bilimindeki değişme ve gelişmeler, kaçınılmaz olarak yaşlıların bakımı için yeni disiplinler arası araştırma modellerinin ve ürünlerinin geliştirilmesine yol açacaktır. Bu makalenin amacı, yaşlanan nüfusta telesağlık ve telerehabilitasyonun hizmetlerini ve uygulamalarını incelemektir.
The Indissolubility Principle In Saumlaki District Court Decision Number 21 / Pdt.G/2014/PN.Sml

Marriage within the Catholic church recognizes the indissolubility found in Canon 1141, which explains that Catholic marriages are consummatum, unbreakable marriages, cannot be cut off by any human power and for any reason, other than death. The Catholic church is the only religion that strongly rejects divorce and does not acknowledge the effectiveness of court rulings that dissolve the marriage of Catholic couples. This principle provides a consequence for married couples who are Catholic. Divorce is the only way when marital harmony is no more. The concept of divorce between religious teachings and the idea of national law differs especially from that of national law, for it provides an opportunity for a couple to divorce as long as there isa clear and valid reason for the congregation, while the Catholic faith says that only death can separate, since marriage is the sacrament and involves god in it. The kind of legal research conducted is normatif where the law is conceptually defined as what is written in the law law (law in books) and or the law is conceived as a code or custom by which human behavior is deemed feasible, the case approach (case approach) and the conceptual approach of approach (approach). Revered to this research we can see that the state approves divorce proceedings because the state merely wants to give its citizens legal certainty, since the state's job is to provide comfort and safety to its citizens. While this study sees the indissolubility principle harmonizes with the principle of difficulty divorce, however, it is still rarely found the application of the indissolubility principle in national law, since basically religious and state teachings cannot be harmonized.

This study aims to find out and examine how the land use of protected forest areas by the community in East Luwu Regency is used. This study uses an empirical juridical method, using a qualitative approach, on all legal principles/rules of law, both material law and how these provisions are confronted in a fact/reality that occurs in the field. The results of this study indicate that the use of protected forest areas by the community in East Luwu Regency is divided between customary law communities, local communities, and people from outside the area. There is injustice for indigenous peoples in fulfilling the quality of their economy, because they do not yet have a designated area, the existence of their customary forest is disturbed by looting and illegal logging carried out by people outside the area. Meanwhile, local communities often receive warnings when using forests because the boundaries of the areas they can use are not clear. Communities outside the area who encroach on protected forests which are unlawful acts. Community conflicts outside the area, in this case corporations, also conflict with the interests of indigenous peoples and local communities because their interests or rights are disturbed between one another.
