Reformulation of Decision Execution and Honorary Council Position of Constitutional Court After Decision Number 604/G/2023/PTUN.JKT
Authors: Wili utama Alif , Anna Erliyana
Published: January 2025

Abstract: This research analyzes the strength of the Decision of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court Number 2/MKMK/L/11/2023 and its execution after Decision Number 604/2023/PTUN.JKT questioning the Appointment of Constitutional Judge Suhartoyo in the object of a state administrative dispute in the form of Constitutional Court Decree Number 17 of 2013. This type of research is a doctrinal research that examines literature sources and statutory studies. Furthermore, this paper uses a conceptual approach and comparative approach that combines the concept of legal certainty and comparisons of several countries in terms of seeing a broader prototype of Ethics Institute arrangements comprehensively. After conducting an analysis, it can be concluded that the Decision of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court Number 17 of 2013 which contains ethical sanctions for violations of Constitutional Judge Anwar Usman is constrained by legal uncertainty in its execution. This is because there is no mechanism for the dismissal of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court after the imposition of ethical sanctions and there is a potential dualism in the ethical enforcement system that can be convoluted. The uncertainty of the execution of the Constitutional Court Honor Council Decision which has the potential to be convoluted with the involvement of the State Administrative Court in adjudicating the Decision a quo should be a reflection to distinguish the authority of law enforcement and ethical enforcement and their scope. This can be encouraged by strengthening the status of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court in its position as a Supervisory body as well as the arrangement of the Supreme Advisory Council in the Armenian Constitution.

The Absurdity of The Law In The Enforcement of Criminal Acts Fisheries (Illegal Fishing) in Indonesia
Authors: Muhammad Fauzi Ramadhan  , Airlangga Putera  , Miftahul Jannah
Published: January 2025

This research explores legal absurdities in Indonesian law enforcement for illegal fishing, focusing on the forms of absurdity and their impact. The author uses normative legal research to determine that the current legal absurdity in Indonesian law enforcement is due to the ratification of Law no. 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation in the Maritime and Fisheries Sector, which disharmonizes norms with previous fisheries laws and regulations. This legal absurdity is evident in the unclear phrase "small fishermen," which creates confusion for law enforcement officials and causes unrest in small fishing communities regarding ship administration. The author suggests that the government should prioritize public interests over certain parties' interests in legislation and explore moral values in environmental management, particularly in the maritime sector, to prevent legal absurdities in law enforcement for illegal fishing crimes in Indonesia.

The implementation of Zakatnomics To Improve The Prosperity of Zakat Recipients (Mustahik) in the City of Makassar
Authors: Jamaluddin  , Baharuddin Semmaila  , Andi Sumardin
Published: January 2025

This study aims to reveal another side of the utilization of zakat through the concept of zakatnomics. Zakatnomics is a combination of zakat and economics. This concept is based on four pillars, namely; religious spirit, productive culture, economic justice, zakat institutions, infaq, alms and waqf. In short, zakatnomics has two welfare motivations, spiritual and material welfare which are human needs in the world. This study is qualitative and uses informant data sources. The results of this study indicate that the religious spirit of mustahik who receive zakat funds can be said to be good or increasing. In contrast, in the productive culture category, it has not increased effectively because the results of the productive efforts carried out only cover daily needs. The pillar of economic justice has been implemented well by mustahik where the profits obtained are distributed to meet all family needs. Likewise, the institutional category of zakat, can be said to have run well, although it is necessary to improve services and carry out socialization on an ongoing basis.
The Impact of Cyber Attack to the Performance of Indonesia's Sharia Bank Stocks in 2023
Authors: Hamdan Ardiansyah  , Arie Noviana  , Aip Zaenal Mutaqin
Published: January 2025

Cyberattacks on the financial sector, including Islamic banks, pose serious threats that can impact market stability and performance. This includes Bank Syariah Indonesia, the largest Islamic bank in Indonesia, where such risks may affect stock performance. This research aims to analyze the impact of cyberattacks on the stock performance of Bank Syariah Indonesia, both before and after the cyberattack incident. The methodology employed is quantitative analysis with comparative tests. The data used is secondary data obtained from Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and Yahoo Finance. The sample was taken from the stock return data of BSI with the stock code BRIS for the year 2023, before and after the cyberattack. Data testing utilized normality tests and comparative tests using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicate a significance value above 0.05, specifically 0.852, suggesting that the stock returns before and after the cyberattack did not experience a significant difference. This indicates that BSI’s stock returns remained stable despite the cyberattack, with the market tending to focus on fundamental performance and long-term prospects of BSI’s stock. Thus, the occurrence of the cyberattack did not affect the stock return, which is part of the stock performance.
Improvement of Nicotiana tabacum L. for low conversion of nicotine to nornicotine and its effect on morphological traits and chemical composition
Authors: Trojak-Goluch Anna , Koziara-Ciupa Marta
Published: January 2025

Nornicotine is a secondary metabolite formed in tobacco leaves by the oxidative N-demethylation (conversion) of nicotine. Its high level is undesirable because this alkaloid is a precursor of N-nitrosonornicotine, which has been shown to have carcinogenic properties. The aim of the study was to assess the nicotine and nornicotine content in four successive generations of ten tobacco cultivars/breeding lines. The possibility of reducing potentially harmful compounds in the cultivars/breeding lines was also determined. The study was conducted as field experiments between the years 2014 and 2018. The alkaloid content in the leaves was determined by the gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method. The systematic assessment of the alkaloid profile of tobacco and eliminating converter plants in four successive generations, particularly within breeding lines characterized by a wide conversion range, made it possible to reduce the nornicotine content and, thus, the potentially carcinogenic compounds in the leaves. Three lines, ZD2, TNX1, and WGLB with a stable conversion rate of ≤3% and low content of nornicotine were obtained. Furthermore, the morphological traits of the isogenic lines ZD2, TNX1 and WGLB, which exhibit markedly different conversion capacity were evaluated. The greenhouse experiment showed that there were significant differences in some morphological traits. The non-converting lines TNX1 and ZD2 produced longer and wider 9th and 15th leaves than the converting analogues. A relationship has been identified between the traits that determine the phenotype of tobacco cultivars/lines and their ability to convert nicotine to nornicotine.
Zmiany produktywności zasobów w polskim rolnictwie na tle sytuacji w pozostałych krajach Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Zakrzewska Aneta , Nowak Anna
Published: January 2025

Celem opracowania była ocena pozycji polskiego rolnictwa w Unii Europejskiej pod względem produktywności ziemi i pracy. Zakres czasowy badań obejmował lata 2007–2021, zrealizowano je przy wykorzystaniu bazy danych EUROSTAT. Analizę przeprowadzono na podstawie wskaźników produktywności cząstkowej oraz dynamiki jej zmian. Polska była krajem o jednej z najniższych wartości produktywności pracy w rolnictwie. Pod względem produktywności czynnika ziemi, polskie rolnictwo osiągało lepszą pozycję, jednak wartość tego wskaźnika była prawie 2-krotnie niższa niż średnio w UE. W badanym piętnastoleciu w rolnictwie polskim współczynniki produktywności obu badanych czynników produkcji systematycznie rosły. Tym samym Polska znalazła się w grupie krajów nowoprzyjętych „goniących” średnią unijną pod względem produktywności pracy i ziemi, tzn. odznaczających się ponadprzeciętnym tempem wzrostu omawianych współczynników, przy ich średnim poziomie kształtującym się nadal poniżej średniej unijnej. Pomimo relatywnie wysokiej dynamiki wzrostu produktywności pracy (163,5%) pozycja Polski w rankingu krajów UE w badanym okresie pogorszyła się (spadek z lokaty 25 na 27). Wskazuje to na potrzebę dalszych przekształceń strukturalnych, zwłaszcza na odpływ nadmiaru pracujących w rolnictwie. Natomiast pod względem produktywności ziemi Polska awansowała z miejsca 20 na 18.
Gâteaux semiderivative approach applied to shape optimization of obstacle problems
Authors: Goldammer Nico , Schulz Volker H. , Welker Kathrin
Published: January 2025

Shape optimization problems constrained by variational inequalities (VI) are non-smooth and non-convex optimization problems. The non-smoothness arises due to the variational inequality constraint, which makes it challenging to derive optimality conditions. Besides the non-smoothness there are complementary aspects due to the VIs, as well as distributed, non-linear, non-convex and infinite-dimensional aspects, due to the shapes, which complicate setting up an optimality system and, thus, developing efficient solution algorithms. In this paper, we consider Gâteaux semiderivatives for the purpose of formulating optimality conditions. In the application, we concentrate on a shape optimization problem constrained by the obstacle problem.

The variational formulation of the interior Bernoulli free boundary problem is considered. The problem is formulated as follows. Choose an arbitrary bounded simply connected domain G ⊂ ℝ2 and smooth positive functions g : ∂G → ℝ, Q : G → ℝ. Denote by 𝒞 the totality of all connected compact sets ω ⊂ ., such that the flow domain Ω = G \ ω is double-connected. The notation 𝒞 + ⊂𝒞 stands for the totality of the set ω ∈𝒞 of positive measure. The cost function 𝒥 (ω) is defined by the equalities

The Kosovo self-defense act of 1999: Policy proposal and strategic context
Authors: Hadri Arbër
Published: January 2025

The Kosovo Self-Defense Act introduced in 1999 by Representative Eliot Engel and Senators Mitch McConnell and Joseph Lieberman, sought to provide critical military support to the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the civilian population of Kosovo amid the ongoing conflict with Serbia. This legislative initiative proposed a $25 million security assistance program aimed at enhancing Kosovo’s self-defense capabilities, enabling the local population to protect themselves from Serbian aggression.

The central argument of the bill was that the U.S. should equip Kosovo to defend its civilians, reflecting a growing belief in Congress that Kosovo’s independence was inevitable and needed international support. The bill also suggested military training and assistance as a means to reduce U.S. military involvement in the region, offering an “exit strategy” by empowering local defense efforts. This paper analyzes the bill’s significance using qualitative methods, examining legislative texts, policy documents, and historical records to assess its impact on U.S. foreign policy.

It employs a qualitative analysis of legislative texts, policy documents, and historical records to assess the bill’s significance in the context of the Kosovo conflict.

The analysis reveals that, despite its failure to pass, the bill marked a pivotal moment in U.S. policy toward Kosovo. It reflected a shift from direct intervention to empowering local forces, underscoring Kosovo’s independence as both a political and security necessity. Ultimately, the bill helped shape U.S. actions that would contribute to Kosovo’s eventual independence and regional stabilization.

We argue that the use of transformative and indigenous frameworks for evaluation provide guidance towards achieving those goals. We provide a rationale for inclusion of these frameworks, along with an explanation of each framework and examples that illustrate their application. We conclude with hope for transformation on a global scale and reflections on our personal transformative experiences in conducting this work.
How data validity and granularity affect jobs accessibility: A case study from the Czech Republic
Authors: Franke Daniel , Peltan Tomáš , Novotný Vojtìch
Published: January 2025

Potential accessibility is a commonly used tool for estimating the impact of changes in land-use and transport infrastructure. The accessibility is derived from a spatial interaction model and two components are crucial for its calculation: land-use and transport. While data relating to the transport component are often well available with a good validity, data representing the land-use component are more challenging. Using a selected case study area from the Czech Republic, the aim of this paper is to explore the sensitivity of the job-related accessibility calculation to different data on the land-use component, in order to explore and possibly overcome these problems with validity. Two different datasets were compared: valid jobs data based on available population and commuting data from the Census of the Czech Statistical Office with very coarse aggregation, and land-use data from the Urban Atlas with low validity of what is measured but very fine spatial aggregation. The analysis of the maps reveals clear spatial patterns and suggests some limitations when using alternative data. The comparisons based on the Urban Atlas data at distinct levels of aggregation reveal problems in some areas of the hinterland of Prague and support the need for more detailed data in these areas and specific types of analysis that may be sensitive to this type of error.

Published: January 2025

Rapid development in technology sparked the emergence of digital nomadism. There are certain facilities to support digital nomads' lifestyle of remote working while traveling, one of which is coworking space. BWork Bali Coworking Space (BWork) is a coworking space located in Canggu, Bali where the area is considered as one of the leading areas for digital nomads around the world. BWork intended to maintain its relationship with digital nomads due to the inconstant trends of digital nomads as its users, as well as to expand its market reach. Therefore, the barriers to marketing activity and marketing communication implementations were analyzed. This research was conducted using qualitative methods and data collection through interviews, documentation, and observation. The study implied that BWork had difficulty reaching digital nomads originating from Asian countries due to language barriers and cultural differences. Also, different views on coworking style among digital nomads could affect their continuity as users and the quality of the internet connection could determine sales, which unstable connection leads to lower sales. The results of the study had shown that BWork prioritized various digital platforms, especially Instagram, to communicate with its members, although not all platforms were managed thoroughly. However, BWork could manage good relationships with digital nomads through events categorized based on digital nomads' needs. Meanwhile, efforts to reach Asian digital nomads have yet to show a significant impact. It is suggested for coworking spaces that target digital nomads as their users should be able to optimize various digital platforms to reach a wider range of digital nomads who are new to the nomadism lifestyle, have better crowd management and noise control, also form a relationship with digital nomad communities from various countries and actively promote cultures.

Published: January 2025

The article describes the formation of psychosomatics, which is part of medical psychology and medicine, its history, reasons for its appearance, as well as its applied significance. Most often, illness refers only to the physical condition of the patient. At the same time, doctors do not pay special attention to the patient’s state of mind and his personal opinion regarding his health. However, taking into account the psychological individuality of the patient is important. Moreover, a negative psycho-emotional status has a strong impact on a person’s condition, which can manifest itself in the form of a decrease in the effectiveness of treatment, or even affect the level of quality of life.

La ambientalización del territorio en el delta del río Paraná (Argentina): primeros pasos para un estudio sistemático en clave foucaultiana
Authors: Straccia Patricio
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el proceso de ambientalización del territorio en el delta del Paraná (Argentina) desde fines del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. A través de una estrategia de relevamiento y análisis documental se da cuenta del conjunto de dispositivos que hace posible su constitución en términos ambientales y se afirma que este proceso representa la sedimentación de una singular forma de legibilidad y valoración del territorio (el delta del Paraná como espacio de naturaleza/macrosistema de humedales que amerita ser conservado) y que supone negación, exclusión o subyugación (según el caso) de las poblaciones locales. Así, se analiza la proliferación de tecnologías de gobierno orientadas a la conservación del humedal y se identifican los acontecimientos que hacen posible su emergencia. A modo de síntesis, se reconoce un predominio de dispositivos de la gubernamentalidad ambiental soberana articulados subsidiariamente con dispositivos de la gubernamentalidad ambiental disciplinaria.
Compartir la vida con perros: reflexiones filosóficas y éticas sobre su presente y su futuro
Authors: Sepúlveda Solar Felipe
Published: January 2025

Este artículo repasa los principales constructos teóricos filosóficos y éticos que han determinado la forma en que humanos y animales no humanos comparten el mundo. Principalmente, se dedica a la exploración de lo que significa compartir el hogar y la vida con perros y otros compañeros animales, reflexionando a través de distintos autores sobre las principales problemáticas de allí derivadas: la domesticación, el antropomorfismo, el perro como propiedad de otro, el concepto de mascota y la construcción de relaciones entre especies de forma vertical, asimétrica y subyugada. Hacia el final del escrito, se propone que otorgarle lenguaje y comunicación al perro es un ejercicio de humildad ineludible para hacerlos parte de la construcción del mundo y para permitir relaciones de simetría, bidireccionalidad y horizontalidad. Finalmente, a largo plazo los perros y otros animales no vivirán con nosotros, pero hoy lo hacen como embajadores de todas las demás especies.

Nurses play a crucial role in delivering healthcare services, emphasising the need for healthcare managers to prioritise their well-being. The quality of work life (QWL) is a significant factor influencing the recruitment and retention of nurses. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the QWL and moral distress among nurses working in educational-remedial hospitals in Rasht, Iran. This cross-sectional analytical study utilised multi-stage sampling to survey all nurses in educational-remedial hospitals in Rasht, excluding those in ICUs, and in administrative, educational and research roles. A structured questionnaire was employed as the primary data collection tool, with data analysis conducted using SPSS version 16. The study found that over 50% of nurses reported a QWL below the mean. Significant correlations were observed between the QWL and variables, such as age (r = 0.349, p < 0.001); work experience (r = 0.319, p < 0.001); marital status (p = 0.036); level of education (p = 0.023); work shifts (p < 0.001); employment status (p < 0.001); and work position (p = 0.014). Additionally, the nurses’ moral distress levels were generally low, with a notable negative correlation between the nurses’ total QWL score and total moral distress scores (rS = –0.305, p < 0.001). The findings suggest that nurses experiencing moral distress due to executing unnecessary physician orders; ineffective team communication; and providing futile patient care are likely to face diminished QWL. Moreover, heightened moral distress levels can contribute to a decline in overall job satisfaction and well-being among nurses.

Spontaneous tendon rupture is a rare complication of chronic metabolic diseases. We report a rare case of a simultaneous bilateral triceps and unilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in a 22-year-old male, who is known to have chronic kidney disease and is on long-term hemodialysis. He presented to our hospital after a history of a simple fall. Our management consisted of surgical repair of all ruptured tendons in one setting. To our knowledge, no cases of bilateral triceps and unilateral quadriceps tendon rupture in the same patient have been reported in the literature thus far. Overall, spontaneous tendon rupture is a rare occurrence. In literature, management of such cases has been reported to be treated surgically. In this case report, we discuss the diagnosis and operative treatment and highlight how early surgical intervention is a key factor in the rehabilitation and functional outcome of the patient.

Actinomycetes, a group of prokaryotes sharing traits with both bacteria and fungi, hold significant economic and commercial importance. They are prolific producers of enzymes, antibiotics, enzyme inhibitors and pharmaceuticals of high commercial value. This study aimed to characterize actinomycetes isolated from sacred groves, focusing on their morphological, biochemical and molecular traits and to assess their bioactive potential. Actinomycetes were isolated using plating and serial dilution methods followed by characterization through Gram staining and biochemical tests such as IMViC test (Indole test, Methyl red test, Voges Proskauer test and Citrate utilization test).

Identification to the genus level was achieved using 16S rDNA gene sequencing with strains A1 and A3 identified as Streptomyces mutabilis and Streptomyces cheonanensis respectively. These strains were also screened for amylase production on starch casein agar plates and enzyme assays showed strain A1 to have the highest activity (54.3±1.5 IU/ml/min after 48 hours of incubation). This research underscores the biotechnological importance of these actinomycetes strains, particularly in amylase synthesis crucial for various industrial applications.

The urban heat island phenomenon refers to the alteration of the climate in urban areas resulting from the disruptions caused by urban development. This issue is of immense concern for the vast number of individuals living in cities. The rural regions across the world are diminishing at a rapid rate, leading to significant transformations in land use and land cover. The dynamics of urban thermal comfort is closely linked to these changes. The assessment of urban thermal comfort levels can be accomplished through the utilization of the urban thermal field variance index (UTFVI) which is derived from LST data. The study reveals that Bardez taluka, located in Goa, India, has witnessed substantial alterations in land use and land cover over the past three decades, primarily due to economic advancement and population growth. From 1991 to 2021, the Urban thermal field variance index (UTFVI) in the Bardez taluka has shown a clear upward trend, indicating increased temperature fluctuations in urban areas. This rise has negative effects on residents' comfort, as the size of land offering "excellent" comfort has decreased from 37.30 sq. km (14.76%) in 1991 to 27.05 sq. km (10.71%) in 2021 showing a decrease of 4.05 %.

Conversely, areas with the "worst" comfort level have increased from 13.98 sq. km (5.54%) to 38.17 sq. km (15.11%) showing a 9.57% increase during the same period. These changes are influenced by factors like urbanization, impenetrable surfaces like asphalt and concrete, towering structures and crowded infrastructure, minimal green areas, altered microclimate, human actions such as industrial processes, transportation and energy consumption, which can create urban heat islands and raise overall temperatures in cities. These findings carry significant implications for urban planning, policy-making and sustainable development. In addition, the study provides important insights into the consequences of anthropogenic actions and alterations in land use on urban heat and thermal comfort.

The dynamic character of host-guest chemistry confers the resulting constructions with fascinating stimuli-responsiveness. In the present study, we introduced the synthesized ionophore (podand) in membrane phase to promote the transfer of Na+, K+, Li+ as well as coexisting metal (Na+ and K+) salts. The experiments were performed to study the selectivity of one metal ion over another.

To choose the optimal parameter for a specific cation during extraction and transport, a variety of factors were taken into consideration including fluctuation in metal concentration, ionophore structure, type of anion and membrane effect. The results reveal that the concentration and type of ions, membrane type and associated anion alter the extraction and transport process from one phase to another phase.

Published: January 2025

The distributions, chemical compositions and fate of plastics in aqua thabitats are still poorly understood, even though research on plastic contamination in freshwater and marinesystems is ongoing. This study aims to investigate the polymers of microplastic contamination in surface waters in the Krishna River. In this study, the occurrence, abundance and distribution, of micro-plastics were assessed in the surface water of Krishna River. In the Krishna River, the sites were sampled using a 50μm mesh-sized student plankton net and were analysed for micro-plastics. All the micro-plastics were secondary being derived from plastic materials utilized by the community. Plastic varieties that are found in the Krishna River, are polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS) and nylon 66 (N- 66).

The occurrence of micro-plastics derived from the degradation of large plastic debris implies that proper plastic waste management measures be implemented in the communities operating on the lake and in its vicinity to safeguard the ecosystem benefits derived from the lake. The description and application of analytical methods include estimations of ambient contamination during sample collecting and processing. To measure and detect micro-plastic particles, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Pyrolysis-gas Chromatography (PyrGC/MS) were used.
