The History of New World Leishmaniases From a Brazilian Perspective
Authors: Benchimol Jaime Larry
Published: December 2023

This article addresses the leishmaniases in the Americas from a Brazilian perspective. The first cases of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis were described in 1909 in São Paulo. Latin American researchers gained international projection because of their work on this disease they considered autochthonous, which came to be known as American tegumentary leishmaniasis. But visceral leishmaniasis only emerged as a public health problem in the Americas in 1934 thanks to a new diagnostic technique for yellow fever. Zoonoses earned greater attention later, especially in the laboratory founded in 1965 at the Evandro Chagas Institute by Ralph Lainson and Jeffrey Shaw. Here we examine their connections with other teams and the resulting changes when they proved that parasite, vector, and host populations were much more heterogeneous than previously imagined. Technical innovations provided a better understanding of the distinct epidemiological characteristics of the illnesses caused by different Leishmania amid a backdrop of far-reaching transnational networks.
André Rebouças Beyond the Atlantic: The Racism and Sociability Network of a Black Nineteenth-Century Engineer
Authors: Silva Wladimir Barbosa da , Barreto Maria Renilda
Published: December 2023

In this article, we analyse the intellectual trajectory of André Pinto Rebouças (1838-1898) between 1870 and 1888, and how he problematised the relation between education, technology, and social reform. Rebouças argued that access to land and technical education were the mechanisms of upward mobility for black people and European immigrants. He was an engineer, teacher, businessman, abolitionist, journalist, and man of science. His family, intellectual, and professional trajectory was permeated by an extensive sociability network and racial barriers, both within and outside Brazil. Rebouças was a spokesman for the social concerns of his time, particularly those which affected not only the productive sector, but the living conditions and survival of non-white people. The relevance of this work is to add reflections to the history of science and black intellectuals.

Published: December 2023

Liquid infiltration into photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) opens new horizons in optical fiber design. This innovation allows precise control of the refractive index, dispersion, and nonlinear effects within the PCF core, expanding its adaptability for various applications. Through numerical simulations, we explore the impact of different liquids on chromatic dispersion in PCFs, emphasizing the role of filling ratios. Our findings unveil shifts in zero dispersion wavelengths, with chloroform causing significant changes. Lower filling ratios reduce dispersion sensitivity, while higher ratios enable dispersion compensation. This study advances our understanding of liquid-filled PCFs, vital for cutting-edge photonics research and practical applications.
Voltage and frequency control of solar – battery – diesel based islanded microgrid
Authors: Vuić Lejla , Hivziefendić Jasna , Sarić Mirza , Osmić Jakub
Published: December 2023

Islanded microgrids with low-inertia distributed energy resources (DERs) are prone to frequency fluctuations. With the increasing integration of DERs in microgrids, the complexity of control and stability has also increased. Moreover, the integration of DERs into microgrids may result in a power imbalance between energy supply and demand during sudden changes in load or energy generation. This can cause frequency variations in the microgrid, which could have disastrous consequences such as equipment damage or even blackouts. This paper proposes a control strategy to ensure the efficient operation of an islanded hybrid microgrid consisting of a PV generator, battery energy storage system (BESS), and emergency diesel generator. According to Energy Exchange Model proposed in this paper, the hybrid system presented operates independently without being connected to the electrical grid, where the PV system and BESS act as the main energy sources, while the emergency diesel generator provides active power backup with voltage and frequency regulation. The novel in this paper is also that DER aids in frequency regulation during active power transients by delivering and absorbing active power in accordance with the inverter's suggested P droop control strategy. In this way inverter droop control decreases system frequency nadir emulating so called “synthetic inertia”. To design both the islanded hybrid system and the proposed control strategy, the MATLAB/Simulink environment is utilized. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the analyzed microgrid system is capable of maintaining stability and operating efficiently in a range of operating conditions.

Authors: Khaleel Sherif A. , Shaban Mahmoud , Alsharekh Mohammed F. , Hamad Ehab K. I. , Shehata Mohamed I. M.
Published: December 2023

In this work, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and graphene/fluorine-doped (G-FTO) thin films were prepared using a low-cost spray pyrolysis method at a substrate temperature of 500 °C. For the FTOs, stannous chloride was dissolved in methanol and acetic acid to form the precursor solution. A 0.05 mole (M) of hydrofluoric acid was added to the precursor as an n-type impurity. The FTO thin film has an optical transmittance of 82% and electrical sheet resistance of 15 Ω/□. By meticulously integrating graphene into the optimal precursor solution of FTO, a significant improvement in the electrical conductivity of the prepared samples was achieved, leading to a reduction in the sheet resistance to 8 Ω/□ with a suitable optical transmittance of 79%. Structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the prepared sample are investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, UV spectroscopy, and four-point probe technique. The best performance of the FTO thin films is achieved utilizing 2.5 µmole/L of fluorine concentration at a substrate temperature of 500°C for a spraying exposer time of 20 min. The prepared sample has an electrical sheet resistance of 15 Ω/□, optical transmittance of 82%, and figure-of-merit of 91.2×10−4 Ω−1.The addition of 0.4 µmole/L of graphene to the optimum FTO samples enhances the performance by a remarkable reduction in the electrical the sheet resistance to 8 Ω/□ and an acceptable reduction in the optical transmittance of 79%. The overall value of the figure-of-merit increased to 118.3×10−4 Ω−1. The achieved results offer a high potential for adopting the prepared films for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
A comparative study on real-time sitting posture monitoring systems using pressure sensors
Authors: Zhao Liang , Yan Jingyu , Wang Aiguo
Published: December 2023

Accurate sitting posture recognition plays a crucial role in improving improper postures and reducing the risk of associated health issues. The inherent complexity of human behavior, however, poses a great challenge to the development of a practical sitting posture monitoring system with pressure sensors. Towards facilitating the use of features, choice of classification models, and way of evaluating a sitting posture recognizer, in this study a comparative study on pressure-sensor-based sitting posture monitoring is conducted. Specifically, we extract discriminant features from the sensor data based on the distribution of pressure sensors and explore different combinations of these features. Then, five commonly used classification models are evaluated towards building a robust sitting posture recognizer. Finally, extensive comparative experiments concerning four performance metrics are conducted on the collected datasets in subject-dependent, subject-independent, and cross-subject settings. Results show that the joint use of sensors at different positions leads to higher accuracy and that random forest generally outperforms the other four classification models. Surprisingly, compared to the subject-dependent and subject-independent settings, cross-subject setting greatly suffers from degraded accuracy, where we preliminarily present the results of transfer learning techniques to mitigate this issue. In addition, we perform parameter sensitivity and time-cost analysis of random forest, which indicates its applicability to practical use.
Experimental comparison of operational amplifier and voltage sensor-based zero-crossing detector circuits for power electronic converters
Authors: Al-Dori Osamah , Vural Ahmet Mete
Published: December 2023

Zero-crossing detection (ZCD) circuits are widely utilized to synchronize power electronics converters with the grid and measure frequency and phase angle. They are usually designed using an operational amplifier (op-amp) or a voltage sensor accompanied by a processing device. The performance profile of these circuits alters depending on many factors, including the input voltage level. An experimental comparison between the two ZCD circuits across various input voltage levels does not appear to be presented in the literature. This work experimentally compares the performance of an op-amp and an isolated voltage sensor-based ZCD circuits, considering their rise/fall latency and precision in detecting the zero-crossing points (ZCPs). The design process and the experimental results demonstrated that the op-amp-based ZCD circuit is susceptible to false and multiple detections of ZCPs and is best suited for relatively low-voltage applications. On the other hand, the voltage sensor-based ZCD circuit allows signal conditioning and is best suited for relatively high voltage applications.
An explorative study of discipline-specific reorganization of assessment during educational emergency – An Italian case
Authors: Eradze Maka , Tinterri Andrea , Dipace Anna , De Martino Delio
Published: December 2023

A coronavirus disease (COVID)-related educational emergency is believed to have changed some of the aspects of the educational landscape. Sudden changes to traditional structures that are schools are undoubtedly an interesting issue to explore: complex phenomena such as assessment methods are highly related to many different factors such as normative base, the use of technological tools, etc. This article reports on the reorganization of assessment methods in the context of a rapid and forced transition to remote teaching mode, based on the results of a survey of Italian teachers. Findings indicate that pandemic-related educational emergency and the push toward the use of tools in teaching and learning practices, and the corresponding relaxation of certain established frames of operation, have created grounds for alternative forms of assessment. Results show that when entertaining different options and enjoying some level of autonomy, teachers can explore alternative forms of assessment. Assessment methods also change according to school subjects; while assessment changes are discipline specific, there is a clear trend toward product-based assessment.
A cross-national perspective on silicosis: incidence, occupational settings, and trends
Authors: Popescu Florina Georgeta , Stoia Mihaela , Morariu Stelian Ioan
Published: December 2023

Background: Historically, silicosis is a disease of miners, but the last decade witnessed outbreaks in occupational settings not traditionally associated with silica exposure. Evidence from other countries may ground awareness and control of re-emergent risks.

Methods: Incident cases of occupational diseases, ranking and trends were analysed within 2012-2016, respectively within 2007-2016 for silicosis using a cross-national comparative study. Labor force profile and occupation were additional data used to identify similarities and differences between Romania and Israel. The incidence rates for silicosis extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 were compared to national, continental, and global level.

Results: Between the two countries, the ratio was 1:1.5 for musculoscheletal disorders, 1:3 for respiratory diseases, 1:4 for noise-induced hearing loss, and 1:10 for silicosis. Regarding silicosis, three major diffences were found, namely: the burden of disease, the trend of incidence (ascending in Israel; descending in Romania), and the occupational setting (coal miner in Romania; artificial stone worker in Israel). Globally, Romania was among countries with high incidence of silicosis in 2017.

Conclusion: Silicosis was a national issue of concern at the time, but vigilance should continue, given the severity of this disease and the occurrence of other silica-related diseases.

Authors: Neacșu Gabriela Roxana Louisse , Rașcu Agripina , Bumbăcea Dragoș
Published: December 2023

This article presents a compelling case study of a young stone grinder who, after nine years of dedicated labour, now faces the prospect of a life-altering lung transplantation due to the development of silicosis, a debilitating pulmonary disease stemming from inhalation of crystalline silica dust, commonly encountered in stone grinding industries. This article delves into the pathophysiology of silicosis, its insidious onset, and the countless challenges confronted by the young worker upon receiving this radical diagnosis.

This case highlights the critical importance of rigorous occupational safety protocols, early disease detection mechanisms, and the essential roles played by employers and healthcare professionals in preserving the well-being of individuals exposed to occupational hazards.
Evaluation of occupational and non-occupational risk factors associated with carpal tunnel syndrome-related symptoms in office workers
Authors: Mocanu Cristina-Manuela , Axente Diana-Teodora
Published: December 2023

Background
: While the main occupational and non-occupational risk factors associated with carpal tunnel syndrome are known, we still need to understand which of these factors has a stronger correlation with carpal tunnel-related symptoms in office workers and to improve future work-space recommendations accordingly.

Objective
: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between occupational and non-occupational risk factors and carpal tunnel syndrome-related symptoms among office workers who use a computer in their dayto-day activities.

Methods
: The data used in this study were collected from May to September 2022 through an online questionnaire from one respondent to another through different forms of social media, using the snowball method. The recorded data were further analysed using an SPSS program. In this way, we analysed quantitative variables by calculating the means, the medians, the standard deviation and the normal distribution and qualitative variables by reporting them as absolute values and percentages of the total. We compared different subgroups of samples using the chi-square test and the binary regression method. A p-value of less than 0.05 was the threshold of statistical significance.

Results
: This study evaluated 130 office workers and identified and analysed the complex relationships between occupational and non-occupational risk factors of CTS and CTS symptoms grouped as pain, sensory function impairment and motor function impairment. Through data analysis and further logistic regression analysis, we concluded that while sensory function impairment is mostly associated with occupational factors such as computer typing with one hand, pain and motor function impairment are associated with both non-occupational, well-known risk factors (female sex, high BMI) and number of hours on the computer outside of work, and occupational risk factors like using both a mouse and an external keyboard, having a chair with adequate arm support and typing with one hand.

Conclusion
: Both occupational and non-occupational risk factors contribute to the development of CTS-related symptoms. Our dataset highlights the complex relationship between CTS occupational and non-occupational risk factors in office workers, thus providing insights for future workplace recommendations and preventive strategies.
Increasing the Efficiency of the Transport of Single Wagon Consignments – A Tool for Sunsaitable Freight Transport
Authors: Morihladko Peter , Dolinayová Anna
Published: December 2023

The segment of transport of single wagon consignments is specific in comparison with the transport of complete trains in terms of significantly higher technological complexity, which increases the capacity requirements for means of transport, railway infrastructure, consumption of traction energy, employees involved in this transport, and ultimately the cost of transport. In many EU countries, the transport of single wagon loads is supported by the State on the basis of the Community Guidelines on State aid to railway undertakings. This aid may be granted as aid for the use of infrastructure or aid to reduce ancillary costs. This aid is allowed by the EU with a view to achieving sustainable freight transport if it is demonstrated by a study that the transport of single wagon loads has lower ancillary costs than alternative modes of transport. In the long term, there is a need to increase efficiency in this transport segment. One option is to change the technology of the operator. This paper uses a case study to show how a change in technology can reduce the carrier’s cost of transporting single carload shipments and thus increase the overall economic efficiency of this transportation segment.

Der Büechlihau bei Füllinsdorf - Ein heiliger Ort der Kelten und Römer
Authors: Ackermann Rahel C. , Fischer Andreas , Marti Reto , Nick Michael , Peter Markus
Published: December 2023

Der ‹Keltenschatz von Füllinsdorf› sorgte 2011 für grosses mediales Aufsehen. Das um 90–70 vor Christus niedergelegte Ensemble von 355 Silbermünzen ist der grösste erhaltene Edelmetall-Münzhort dieser Epoche im Gebiet der heutigen Schweiz.
Über ein Jahr lang war der Fund geheim gehalten worden, weil sich rasch herausstellte, dass er nicht die einzige wertvolle Deponierung an diesem Hang war. Nach intensivem Absuchen des Geländes und gezielten Nachgrabungen steht fest: Von der späten Latènezeit bis ans Ende der Römerzeit, in einem Zeitraum von rund 500 Jahren, wurde der markante Hügel oberhalb der römischen Koloniestadt Augusta Raurica wiederholt aufgesucht, um Münzen und weitere kleine Gegenstände – wohl als Gaben an eine übergeordnete Macht – niederzulegen. Darüber hinaus zeugen Funde vom Neolithikum bis in die Neuzeit von der intensiven Begehung des strategisch günstig gelegenen Höhenzugs am Eingang zum Ergolztal.
Das Buch legt die Funde vom Büechlihau vor und lotet aus, unter welchen Umständen sie in den Boden gelangt sein könnten. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei den spätlatène- und römerzeitlichen Deponierungen. In welchen Kontext gehören sie? Welche Rückschlüsse lassen sich namentlich aus dem ‹Keltenschatz› im Hinblick auf die frühgeschichtliche Wirtschafts- und Kulturgeschichte ziehen?

Published: December 2023

Background: The implementation of teacher certification programs (TCPs) has been a topic of interest in education research. Previous studies have primarily focused on student and teacher outcomes, with limited attention given to teachers' perceptions of TCPs. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the perception of certified interdisciplinary teachers regarding the implementation of a TCP in Indonesia. By understanding teachers' perspectives, this research contributes to the evaluation and improvement of TCPs, ultimately enhancing the quality of education.Methodology: This study adopts a qualitative research design, specifically a multiple case study approach. Five certified senior high school teachers from public schools in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, were selected as participants. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews and document analysis of the teachers' lesson plans. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software.Findings: The findings of the study reveal two primary emerging themes. Firstly, teachers' motivation and expectations regarding the TCP were explored. Secondly, the study examined the perceived benefits of the program. The teachers reported improvements in pedagogical knowledge, curriculum understanding, content knowledge, lesson planning, and teaching performance. The TCP also enhanced their awareness of students' characteristics and needs, fostering stronger teacher-student relationships.Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of purposeful, continuous, and systematic professional development in enhancing teachers' competencies. It emphasizes the need for sustained professional development and regular evaluation of teachers' practices. The findings provide valuable insights for the organizers of TCPs, contributing to program evaluation and improvement.Originality: This study fills a gap in knowledge by exploring the perception of certified interdisciplinary teachers regarding the implementation of a TCP in Indonesia. It contributes to the limited research on teachers' perspectives of TCPs and emphasizes the significance of teacher perception and motivation in professional development programs
Schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis masquerading as a thyroid nodule: a multimedia case report and literature review
Authors: Martin Ariana Marie , Valencia-Sanchez Bastien A. , Villarreal-del-Bosque Natalia , Freeze-Gallardo Ingrid , Montemayor-Alatorre Adolfo
Published: December 2023

Background:

Schwannomas originating from the ansa cervicalis represent an exceptionally infrequent occurrence. To date, less than five cases have been reported in the English literature. We present a multimedia case report of an ansa cervicalis schwannoma, accompanied by a surgical video, in a patient whose initial clinical assessment suggested potential thyroid pathology.

Case Presentation:

A 51-year-old woman was referred to the otolaryngology department following an incidental finding of a thyroid nodule on a head and neck computed tomography scan. Imaging revealed the presence of two lesions: a TIRADS 3 left thyroid nodule, and a benign tumor originating from the peripheral nerve sheath of the ansa cervicalis, located adjacent to the right thyroid lobe. Intraoperatively, the second lesion was discovered to originate from a branch of the superior root of the ansa cervicalis. Subsequent histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a schwannoma.

Conclusion:

Schwannomas originating from the ansa cervicalis pose a diagnostic challenge, often susceptible to misinterpretation and confusion with other lesions. This case report highlights radiological and surgical techniques that can be used to identify the origin of these tumors, both preoperatively and intraoperatively.

Tantangan Pemberian Kewenangan Bagi Penyidik Pejabat Pegawai Negeri Sipil (PPNS) Kehutanan Sumatera Barat Pada Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang
Authors: Annisa'un Rasyiqah
Published: December 2023

Law Number 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering (AML Law) serves as the cornerstone of anti-money laundering enforcement in Indonesia today, but it still falls short in accommodating the needs of money laundering law enforcement. Explanation of Article 74 of the AML Law limits the role of criminal investigators solely to the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Police, the Prosecutor's Office, Customs, and Tax Authorities. This explanation of Article 74 contradicts the AML Law. This situation leaves the Environmental and Forestry Crime Investigators (PPNS Kehutanan) without the authority to investigate money laundering cases in the forestry sector and hampers efforts to combat money laundering. Ultimately, Constitutional Court Decision No. 15/PUU-XIX/2021 breathed new life into money laundering investigations by broadening the definition of investigators and granting authority to PPNS Kehutanan to handle money laundering cases. Based on this research, the author concludes that following Constitutional Court Decision No. 15/PUU-XIX/2021, PPNS in the forestry sector has the authority to investigate cases of money laundering. The authority held by PPNS Kehutanan in conducting money laundering investigations includes the power to delay transactions, the power to request information about wealth from the reporter, the power to seize assets, and the power to block assets. In West Sumatra, the investigation of money laundering in the forestry sector is assigned to PPNS of the Provincial Forestry Service and PPNS of the Directorate General of Law Enforcement and Forest Protection (Gakkum LHK). These two institutions coordinate to handle all forestry crimes, including money laundering. Furthermore, coordination is also carried out with the National Police (POLRI) and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in resolving money laundering cases.
Penerapan Electronic Traffic Law enforcement (ETLE) Terhadap Pelanggaran Lalu Lintas Di Wilayah Hukum Polresta Padang
Authors: Oktara Roberto  , Yandriza
Published: December 2023

The very rapid development of technology has an impact on all sectors of human life. The development of this technology was utilized by the Indonesian National Police by creating an electronic ticketing system called electronic traffic law enforcement, abbreviated as ETLE. The implementation of ETLE aims to reduce the number of traffic violations, eliminate the phenomenon of illegal collection during enforcement and simplify the ticket enforcement process. The number of traffic violations in the city of Padang has increased significantly after the implementation of ETLE. In implementing ETLE, the Polresta Padang encountered several obstacles, such as a lack of public knowledge and a lack of public awareness regarding the renewal of the ticketing system through ETLE. This research uses empirical juridical research methods with descriptive research characteristics. The required data comes from primary data and secondary data taken from a study of documents and interviews at the Padang City Police Department. This ETLE ticketing system has been implemented in the city of Padang starting from March 24 2021 until now. The research results show that the implementation of the electronic traffic law enforcement ticketing system has not been fully implemented optimally. The implementation of ETLE is not yet optimal due to several obstacles such as the public's lack of knowledge of traffic regulations and the ETLE system, lack of facilities and infrastructure, social and cultural factors that are developing in the community and weaknesses in the system for identifying violating vehicles. This is still a fundamental factor causing the increase in traffic violations in the jurisdiction of the Polresta Padang.

Panca Sradha merupakan kepercayaan bagi Umat Hindu yang harus tertanam kokoh didalam hati Umat Hindu demi mencapai tujuan hidup didunia, Reinkarnasi menurut ajaran Agama Hindu termasuk dalam keyakinan Panca Sradha, yang wajib diyakini oleh Umat Hindu, proses Reinkarnasi adalah fenomena unik dan abstrak yang memerlukan pengetahuan untuk memahaminya dan menelitinya. Banyak tokoh yang sudah berhasil meneliti proses reinkarnasi. Sesungguhnya reinkarnasi ada dan merupakan hasil perbuatan yang dilakukan semasa hidup didunia, jika seseorang berbuat baik semasa hidupnya maka ia terlahir kembali dengan wujud yang sama atau lebih baik sebalik jika seseorang berbuat kejahatan maka ia akan terlahir kembali dengan wujudnya lebih buruk dari sebelumnya hal ini sering disebut juga dengan karma. Reinkarnasi akan terus terjadi pada seseorang hingga roh tersebut mencapai titik sempurna dan kekal, tempat tersebut dikenal dengan moksa. Proses reinkarnasi banyak terjadi pada seseorang dengan terlahir kambali dengan wujud yang berbeda tetapi dalam atma/jiwa yang sama.

Pernikahan adalah salah satu peristiwa yang sangat penting dalam siklus kehidupan umat manusia. sebab pernikahan itu tidak hanya menyangkut wanita dan pria bakal mempelai  saja, tetapi orang tua kedua belah pihak, saudara-saudarannya bahkan keluarganya masing-masing. Dalam pernikahan terdapat tiga aspek penting, yakni aspek sosial, aspek agama, dan aspek hukum. Manava  Dharma Sastra menyatakan bahwa pernikahan memiliki tiga tujuan, yaitu (1) dharma sampati yang artinya bersama-sama suami istri mewujudkan pelaksanaan dharma, (2) Praja yang artinya melahirkan keturunan, dan (3) Rati yang artinya menikmati kehidupan  seksual dan kepuasan lainnya. Keberhasilan dalam sebuah pernikahan merupakan harapan serta dambaan dari setiap pasangan suami istri. Ada beberapa kriteria yang dicetuskan oleh para ahli dalam mengukur keberhasilan pernikahan. Kriteria itu antara lain; awetnya suatu pernikahan, kebahagiaan suami dan istri, kepuasan pernikahan, penyesuaian seksual, penyesuaian pernikahan, dan kesatuan pasangan (Burgess dan Locke, 1960). Kepuasan pernikahan menjadi faktor pennting dalam keberhasilan suatu pernikahan. Kegagalan pernikahana datang ketika salah satu atau lebih anggota keluarga merasa tidak puas. Secara umum kepuasan pernikahan akan lebih tinggi diantara orang-orang religius daripada orang-orang dengan religiusitas rendah. Hal ini terutama berlaku untuk perempuan. Agama seringkali menjadi kompensasi dari rendahnya kepuasan seksual. Bagi wanita, religiusitas membuat pernikahan lebih memuaskan, namun tidak sepenuhnya benar untuk laki-laki.

Penelitian ini menguraikan tentang problem kejahatan dan penderitaan yang ada di alam semesta ini. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan mengenai sumber kejahatan dan penderitaan sepanjang sejarah filsafat dan peradaban manusia, hal ini selalu menjadi perdebatan antara kaum yang percaya Tuhan, maupun kaum yang tidak percaya Tuhan. Kalau Tuhan ada, bagaimana mungkin ada kejahatan, darimana sumber kejahatan, apakah Tuhan yang menyebabkan kejahatan dan penderitaan. Itulah yang menjadi poin penting yang akan dibahas dalam artikel ini. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode hermeneutik filosofis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyebutkan sumber kejahatan dan penderitaan yang dijelaskan oleh para filsuf, bukanlah bersumber dari Tuhan. Manusia memiliki kebebasan untuk memilih dan sekaligus memiliki beban untuk bertanggungjawab terhadap pilihan dari kebebasannya. Dalam Hindu menjelaskan bahwa Tuhan sebagai saksi terhadap apa yang dilakukan oleh manusia. Manusia yang menyadari hakikat Tuhan dalam diri tidak akan terjerumus kepada pilihan untuk berbuat jahat. Manusia larut dalam masalah dan penderitaan karena manusia melupakan prinsip tersebut.
