If the civil servant still keeps going on its track, as a bureaucracy devotee, then people’s civil rights must have been fulfilled.

Konstitusi Hijau Perancis: Komentar atas asas Kehati-hatian dalam Piagam Lingkungan Perancis 2004
Authors: Wibisana Andri G.
Published: July 2022

France is the first country that incorporates the precautionary principle into its constitution, via the 2004 Charter for the Environment. Based on the way the principle is formulated in the Charter,  this paper attempts to show whether such an incorporation of the principle into French Constitution should be welcome as a progressive move. In addition, the paper demonstrates how the precautionary principle has been developed and adopted in various international environmental agreements or declarations. The paper also compares the French version of the principle with the development of the precautionary principle in Indonesian environmental law. The papers shows that interpreting the precautionary principle as  risk assessment is not consistent with the intention of developing the precautionary principle, because risk assessment as currently conducted  is plagued with a technocratic approach. The practices of risk assessment have oversimplified the situation of incertitude as merely risk, and consequently, has the potential to ignore public opinion and participation in the decision making process. In this sense, the French version of the precautionary principle is not quite progressive. In contrast, one Indonesian interpretation of the precautionary principle has moved beyond the issue of risk assessment. Such an interpretation, stemming from the court rulings on the Mandalawangi case, combines the precautionary principle with strict liability, by imposing liability to those who fail to take precautionary measures against uncertain  damage.

The verdict of the Constututional Court (MK) regarding the rejection of Law Trial Number 1/PNPS/Year 1965 about the Prevention of Religion Violation and/or desecration through Indonesia’s Law of  Constitution year 1945 can be read as reinforcement through the juridical existence which is related to the right of religion freedom.

Konsep Negara Berbasis Hak sebagai Argumen Justifikasi Pengujian Konstitusionalitas Undang-undang
Authors: Kurnia Titon Slamet
Published: July 2022

This article argues that the concept of right-based State and right-based constitution are substantively the basis or justification for constitutional review of legislation or laws. The constitutionality of laws is determined by the idea that human rights are supreme or superior over the legislature and its legal product. Therefore, the legislature should respect human rights in law-making. This article also rejects the view that hierarchy of laws is the only basis for constitutional review of legislation or laws because this view only explains it formally. This argument cannot be applied to Britain or Israel which does not have a formal constitution.

Authors: Castelo-Branco Camil , Boada David , Reina María Fabiana
Published: July 2022

Objective: To highlight predisposing conditions to Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and to give tools to healthcare providers to deal with this scourge. Mechanism: A descriptive literature review. Findings in Brief: Nowadays, children and adolescents can be more easily affected by a wide variety of social contingencies that may predispose them to domestic and social violence, such as drug use, early pregnancy, offender behavior, peer violent situations, behavioral disorders, and school dropouts. CSA is not included yet in professional health teams’ training nor considered by authorities who are responsible for implementing preventive measures and public policies, even though presenting considerable magnitude in epidemiologic terms. Pediatricians, general physicians, and other specialists who deal with children and adolescents should incorporate a process of detection for signs and early symptoms of sexual abuse and social actors should put in motion preventive measures. Conclusions: CSA is a concern that should involve the whole society. Actions to reduce its incidence are required in three different targets: social awareness, comprehensive sexuality education, and acting on the predisposing factors.

Principles for using evidence to improve biodiversity impact mitigation by business
Authors: White Thomas , Petrovan Silviu Octavian , Bennun Leon , Butterworth Tom , Christie Alec Philip , Downey Harriet , Hunter Sara Bronwen , Jobson Benjamin , zu Ermgassen Sophus Olav Sven Emil , Sutherland William J
Published: July 2022

There is an increasing expectation on the private sector to address biodiversity impacts and contribute towards global conservation goals. Appropriate evidence use can help businesses avoid biodiversity losses and realise gains, reduce resources wasted on ineffective or suboptimal action, whilst minimising biodiversity-related risks and securing opportunities from engaging with biodiversity. We review the status of evidence-based action in the private sector, where previous studies have identified concerning trends, and explore the barriers that may currently be hindering evidence use. To learn from this, and improve evidence use, we propose a set of principles for evidence-based biodiversity impact mitigation. We outline tools and resources that can help businesses move towards evidence-based practice and achieve each of these principles. Meeting these principles would improve the biodiversity outcomes from business’ biodiversity related actions. However, for business action to contribute more fully to global conservation goals, broader political and socio-economic issues also need addressing.

Individual-level changes in religious/spiritual beliefs and behaviours over three decades in the parental generation of the ALSPAC cohort, UK
Authors: Smith Daniel , Halstead Isaac , Morgan Jimmy , Tohidinik Hamid Reza , Iles-Caven Yasmiin , Golding Jean , Northstone Kate
Published: July 2022

Longitudinal data on religious/spiritual beliefs and behaviours (RSBB) are essential for understanding both how religion shapes our lives and the factors determining religiosity. Despite this importance, there are few longitudinal studies with detailed and repeated RSBB data. Using data spanning nearly 30 years from the parental generation of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) based in the Southwest of England, we describe individual-level changes in various aspects of self-reported RSBB (religious belief, affiliation, and attendance, among others) measured on four occasions (pregnancy, plus 5, 9 and 28 years post-partum; approx. 3,600 mothers and 1,200 partners have data at all four time-points). Although RSBBs were generally consistent over time, a shift towards non-religiosity was observed; exceptions included Roman Catholic affiliation, which was remarkably stable over three decades, and religious attendance, which increased from pregnancy to 5 years, before declining at 28 years. Most changes in RSBB were minor, e.g., between ‘yes’ and ‘not sure’ regarding religious belief, rather than between ‘yes’ and ‘no’. We also provide a simple illustrative example of how these longitudinal data can be analysed. In addition to describing these longitudinal patterns, this paper will help inform future research using ALSPAC’s longitudinal RSBB data.
Differential expression of LIMK2 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding LIM domain kinase 2, LIMK2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. LIMK2 was also differentially expressed in the brain metastases of patients with brain metastatic breast cancer. LIMK2 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of LIMK2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with basal subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. LIMK2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Published: July 2022

Hypothesen aufstellen, Daten sammeln und Befunde kritisch diskutieren - was im realen Forschungsprozess Alltag ist, findet im Schulalltag selten statt. Eine Lernmethode, welche diese Prozesse in der Schule fördern kann, ist das Inquiry Based Learning oder auch forschendes Lernen genannt. Das digitale Medium PhET (Physics Education Technology), welches vom Nobelpreisträger Carl E. Wiemann entwickelt wurde, stellt eine Vielzahl an interaktiven Simulationen zur Verfügung und soll Schüler*innen beim forschenden Lernen unterstützen. Ein solcher mediengestützter Ansatz klingt in Zeiten der Digitalisierung vielversprechend, doch welche konkreten Achtungspunkte bei der Nutzung von PhET neben dessen Chancen und Herausforderungen zu berücksichtigen sind, soll in diesem Blogbeitrag diskutiert werden.

The Landscape of Antibody-drug Conjugate (ADC): Production, Mechanisms of Action (MOA), FDA approved-antibodies, and Functional assay
Authors: Cai Xiaolong
Published: July 2022

Antibody-drug Conjugates (ADCs), which offer the precise delivery of cytotoxic drugs to cancer cells, has been one of the most popular therapeutic modalities in anti-cancer drug discovery since the outstanding therapeutic effect of DS-8201 (a HER2-targeted ADC) was reported. ADC consists of antibodies, cytotoxic payloads, and chemical linkers. After ADC drugs enter the blood, their antibody part will recognize and bind to the surface antigen of target cells. Then cells internalize the ADC antigen complex through endocytosis, and the complex will be degraded by lysosomes and the payload will be released, so as to destroy DNA or microtubules, or exert the inhibitory effect of topoisomerase / RNA polymerase, resulting in cell death of the target cells. Beyond this “classical” pathway, ADCs can induce tumor cell death through the so-called bystander effect, which occurs when the cytotoxic warhead diffuses across the cell membrane to neighboring cells, thus inducing their apoptosis. Till now, over 100 ADCs have been investigated in clinical stages. In the future, more patents will profit from the rapidly growing ADC drug discovery.
Harm is Key to Judgments that Stealing is Immoral

Published: July 2022

Stealing is considered to be a typical moral violation, but is stealing immoral when it does not involve harm? To assess the role of harm in reasoning about stealing, 200 undergraduates with a range of political orientations (M = 3.81 on a 7-point scale, SD = 1.49) judged instances of taking resources without permission to benefit a third party. Participants judged vignettes that varied who took the resources (an authority or an individual), the need of the recipient, and the harm to the owner (left with not enough, enough, or more than enough). Labeling acts as stealing was weakly associated with evaluations of acts. Harm was key to judgments of stealing across political orientations: participants judged taking resources without permission as unacceptable when it harmed the owner but as acceptable when it helped others in need. In the absence of harm, stealing was not consistently seen as a moral issue.

Regional weather networks–also referred to as mesonets–are imperative for filling in the spatial and temporal data gaps between nationally supported weather stations. The North Carolina Environment and Climate Observing Network (ECONet) fills this regional role; it is a mesoscale network of 44 (as of 2023) automated stations collecting 12 environmental variables every minute across North Carolina. Measured variables include air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed, wind direction, total solar radiation, photosynthetically active solar radiation, soil temperature, soil moisture, leaf wetness index, and black globe temperature. All data undergo quality control procedures and are made freely available to the public via data portals hosted by the State Climate Office of North Carolina at North Carolina State University. This paper provides a technical overview of ECONet, including a description of the siting criteria, station maintenance procedures, data quality control procedures, and data availability. We also summarize unique aspects of ECONet data collection as well as innovative research and applications that rely on ECONet data. ECONet data are used by many sectors including, but not limited to, emergency management, natural resources management, public health, agriculture, forestry, science education, outdoor recreation, and research. ECONet data and data-powered applications offer valuable insights to local, regional, and federal partners yet opportunities to expand ECONet research and applications remain.
The neural correlates of Spanish whistle language: An exploratory EEG study

Published: July 2022

The human brain shows functional and structural hemispheric asymmetries for various cognitive functions such as language. One of the most replicated findings in behavioural laterality research is the so-called right ear advantage in the dichotic listening task, which is observed in 60 different languages and language families. However, it could not be replicated for whistle languages. Previous research on whistled Turkish has shown the absence of asymmetry on the behavioural level. Therefore, the current study focuses on the investigation of asymmetric electrophysiological processes to map the auditory processing as well as the comprehension of spoken versus whistled syllables. Electrophysiological recordings captured during dichotic listening were obtained from 117 participants consisting of proficient Spanish whistlers and two control groups from two different language families. The design of the study intended to generate potential novel insights into whistle languages’ unique neural aspects. While the right-ear advantage was replicated, an unexpected tendency towards faster right-hemispheric involvement was observed. Most importantly, the left hemisphere turned out to play a crucial function in the perception, processing, and comprehension of whistled syllables in Spanish whistlers. In light of its potential clinical value, future research in this field leveraging modern multimodal fusion approaches is needed to further elucidate the neuronal mechanisms underlying the functional and structural asymmetries of this communication method.
Differences in Studying: Quantitative Courses, Math Anxiety, and Study Strategies

Decades of research has demonstrated the negative influence of math anxiety on academic achievement in quantitative courses. However, the relationship between math anxiety and the study strategies that students utilize in quantitative courses has not been sufficiently explored in the existing literature. Experimental research on long-term memory has found consistent benefits of spacing study sessions over time, using retrieval practice/self-testing, and interleaving material on long-term retention. Survey research has been inconclusive on the direct relationship between Self-Regulated Learning strategies (SRL; e.g. rehearsal, elaboration, self-regulation, etc.) with some evidence for an indirect relationship between SRL strategies and math achievement when student have positive academic emotions. We surveyed 321 undergraduate students in a large midwestern university who completed a quantitative course within the last year. Study strategies were assessed by the SRL strategies portion of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire as well as measures of spacing, retrieval practice, interleaving, and various other study strategies. A series of basic math skills measures and well as self-reported last quantitative course grade were collected. Math anxiety was measured using the nine item Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale. Preliminary analysis showed that math anxiety was associated with increased use of cramming, rereading notes, avoiding studying, rehearsal, and time spent organizing materials. While it was associated with reduced use of elaboration, self-monitoring, self-regulation, help seeking, lower performance on basic math skills tasks, and lower course grades. However, only self-monitoring and self-regulation was positively associated with course grade. Our final analysis will consist of a structural equation model (SEM) assessing the pathways between math anxiety, study strategies, and course grade controlling for basic math skill. This study elucidates the relationship between math anxiety and study strategy use and is the first study we know of that measures a comprehensive list of study strategies from different literatures.
