Child Soldiers
Authors: Rosen David M.
Published: December 2023

This book exposes the role of children in war, describing where, why, and how children are deployed, the attempts made by international organizations to protect children, and the underlying political and cultural issues that make this such a thorny issue.

The Democratic Party
Authors: Harris Douglas B. , Bailey Lonce H.
Published: December 2023

Through an examination of key historical documents, this book chronicles the Democratic Party's complete transformation from the small-government, Jeffersonian party to a party of activist government and social progressivism during the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. What are the objectives of today's Democratic Party, and what historic events have guided its evolution from a decidedly different ideological starting point more than 200 years ago? The Democratic Party: Documents Decoded supplies a thorough historical examination of the Democratic Party from its distant origins in George Washington's administration to the two-term administration of Barack Obama. Told through key documents and speeches, this history comes alive in the words and thoughts of those who built, sustained, and transformed the Democratic Party. No other book uses documents in this way to tell a comprehensive history of this party. The book utilizes primary documents to investigate a breadth of topics such as the Democratic party's positions on civil rights, discrimination, voting rights, taxation, representation, immigration, primary elections, caucuses, the Republican opposition, relations between church and state, the role of government, and foreign policy. The scholarly commentary provides essential context that bridges the gaps between documents and insightful explanations and clarifications of specific passages or terms to ensure reader comprehension. A work unlike any other on the history of the Democratic Party, this book will serve advanced high school students in government and history classes as well as undergraduate students taking courses in political science and history.

Tradição oral e ancestralidade africanas no romance Jesusalém, de Mia Couto
Authors: Da Silva Araújo Carvalho Keiliane
Published: December 2023

Este artigo evidencia como os aspectos concernentes à tradição oral e à ancestralidade africanas, em Jesusalém (2009), contribuem à reafirmação da identidade cultural moçambicana. O romance de Mia Couto é uma narrativa da pós-independência de emancipação política de Moçambique que problematiza e desconstrói alguns dos estereótipos que edificaram, historicamente, determinados “paradigmas identitários” em África. O trabalho está ancorado nas teorizações de Fourshey, Gonzales e Saidi (2019); Bhabha (2019), etc. O estudo possibilitou o entendimento de que a reconstrução identitária de sociedades pilhadas, para além do discurso denunciativo, se dá e se efetiva pela valorização das tradições autóctones.

They were given training and directly practiced making eco-friendly cleaners using lily extract. The PPM team will also provide assistance until the product can actually be marketed. The initial target for this product is to be used alone and sold to the laundry unit at the Riyadhussholihiin Islamic Boarding school. The next target will be sold to people outside the Riyadhussholihiin Islamic Boarding School. Activities will begin in February 2023 (In Syaa Allah) and end in June or July 2023. However, assistance will continue to be carried out to maintain the continuity of these activities.Professor Dr. Yusliza Mohd Yusoff s as a partner will inspect the field directly or monitor through the Vicon Zoom Meeting. The results of these activities are in the form of increased welfare for teachers obtained from the sale of environmentally friendly cleaning products. Also for students after graduation they can do entrepreneurship to make these products, both students who continue their studies and those who do not continue their studies can still do entrepreneurship. Evaluation can be done by monitoring the location after the community service implementation period is over. Assistance will continue to be carried out to maintain the continuity of the production and sales process.

Dusun Watu VII RT 8 Argomulyo, Sedayu, Bantul geographical area is suitable for empon-empon farming. Empon-empon is the raw material for making jamu (herbal medicine). Most of the population of Dusun Watu also has competency in making herbal medicine and is involved in the herbal medicine production business, either as groups or individually. One of them is the Jamu Mulya Sari Abadigroup. Production of herbal medicine before the COVID-19 pandemic, which was absorbed by the asset market when nominalized, reached 15 million rupiahs.

This community service carried out at the Wini (Indonesia) border market and Regiao Administrativa Especial de Oecusse (Ambeno) Timor Leste. There are 3 problems that occur at the Wini border market, namely 1) During transactions, traders do not have a certain formula for determining and fixing exchange rates. Determining exchange rates in the market is only based on bargaining between sellers and buyers, 2) In the bargaining process, sellers and buyers do not see the exchange rate that applies when the transaction takes place and 3) traders in the border market determine the exchange rate during the transaction only following the exchange rate that has been made by other traders in the border market. The service was carried out using socialization methods and Focus Group discussions with 20 traders/buyers from Indonesia, Timor Leste and the governments of the two countries.The results of this community service provide understanding to buyers and sellers from two countries about the obligation to use the currency of the country where the transaction occurs, the importance of exchanging foreign money at a legal money changer, the rules regarding international trade, as well as an understanding of the basis for determining the selling value of products that bring business profits. . By doing business according to government regulations and international business standards, people in border markets can win profits.

Hair serves a variety of purposes, including thermoregulation and protection. Hair regulates temperature in nonhuman animals, including primates, by holding heat or preventing cold. Hair can also be used for disguise and as a sexual attractant. Human hair is thinner and lighter than that of primates. The purpose of this study was to determine and test the efficacy of providing a coconut oil and candlenut oil mixture in the process of hair development in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The study's findings indicate that a combination containing 80% coconut oil and 20% candlenut oil is the most efficient in stimulating hair development in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain. This hair growth acceleration is possible because coconut oil contains a high concentration, precisely 80%. Because coconut has a high amount of lauric acid, it has numerous health benefits, including good hair.

Exposure to UV rays can cause photochemical damage to the DNA of cells in the body, triggering cancer formation, especially skin cancer in humans. The skin may lose elasticity. Research is needed to ensure that currently, we are still looking for plants or foods that contain collagen, which can prevent wrinkles. This research is an original experiment carried out in a laboratory. Two types of variables play a role in this research: independent variables and dependent variables. In this experiment, aloe vera gel was used as an independent variable as a substitute for UVB light exposure. Collagen development, measured in mouse skin, is the dependent variable here. This study found that the standard control group had no collagen growth and was stable. This was because the typical control treatment was not exposed to UVB rays; hence, collagen formation was stable. The group administered 15% aloe vera extract gel had a more substantial effect on rat skin tissue collagen development after UVB light exposure than the 5% and 10% groups. This is because a higher dose of aloe vera extract includes more chemical components that promote mouse skin collagen formation.
Film in Health Campaigns and Reduction in Incidence of COVID-19 in Nigeria: A Thematic Discourse Analysis
Authors: Obong Ubong Andem
Published: December 2023

The main thrust of this study was to explore the efficacy of films in instigating behavioral change in campaigns against COVID-19 in Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to establish the critical role that films play in promoting the key messages of COVID-19 health campaigns and to explicate the approach in which the films used in anti-COVID-19 health campaigns contribute to behavioral change among the population with a view to reducing further incidence of COVID-19. Cultivation Theory and Health Belief Model provided the theoretical underpinning to this study. To achieve the set objectives, the study adopted a qualitative research design where thematic (content) analysis and critical discourse analysis were deployed to review and discuss the prevalent COVID-19 preventive and containment themes, appeals, and strategies embedded in the films used in anti-COVID-19 campaigns. The study focused on three categories of films: anti-COVID-19 documentary films; short feature films; and animated films for kids endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), and the Nigeria Ministry of Health under the aegis of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19. Each of these categories was reviewed, encompassing a total of nine films —three from each category. A thematic analytical review of some of the films deployed in the COVID-19 health campaigns revealed that the films were loaded with health-related themes, appeals, and strategies that, when considered holistically, aimed at influencing or changing people’s behavior with a view to containing and reducing the risk for further incidence of the disease.
A PRESUNÇÃO DE LEGALIDADE E A INVERSÃO DO ÔNUS DA PROVA NA APLICAÇÃO DE MULTAS DE TRÂNSITO
Authors: Menezes Hewerton da Silva
Published: December 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar a divergência existente entre a inversão do ônus da prova decorrente da presunção de legalidade inserida no contexto da aplicação de multas de trânsito. Para isso, explora-se a complexa relação entre esses dois elementos, considerando a unilateralidade dos atos administrativos e a falta de lastro probatório. Desta feita, aborda-se o conceito fundamental de ato administrativo, destacando suas principais características, como a imperatividade, a discricionaridade, a vinculação e a própria legalidade. Além disso, examina-se a doutrina relacionada à presunção de legalidade dos atos administrativos, enfocando a prerrogativa da administração pública de que seus atos são presumivelmente legais até prova em contrário, explorando as complexidades do binômio entre eficiência e desproporcionalidade. Nesse contexto, aborda-se o conceito de provas diabólicas que recai sobre os cidadãos na tentativa de contestar a legalidade de atos administrativos, levando à análise da inversão do ônus da prova, em tempo que colaciona alguns julgados e analisa a teoria de distribuição dinâmica do ônus da prova.

A infância é a primeira fase da vida, que se estende desde o nascimento até os 12 anos de idade incompletos. O marketing é definido como um conjunto de estratégias utilizado para criar ou explorar determinado produto, com o objetivo de atender às necessidades do cliente e gerar lucros. A promoção da saúde e do bem-estar das crianças configura-se como uma estratégia eficaz, uma vez que as experiências vivenciadas nessa fase da vida são capazes de moldar os comportamentos alimentares. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo é elaborar uma revisão sistemática sobre a influência do marketing no comportamento alimentar de crianças. Para isso, adotou-se a metodologia PRISMA, a qual se baseia em relatar os principais itens de um tópico de interesse em revisões sistemáticas e meta-análises. Na etapa de busca de artigos científicos, foram encontradas 318 publicações, das quais 305 foram excluídas por não estarem em conformidade com os critérios de inclusão estabelecidos. Ao final, 13 artigos foram incluídos neste estudo. Através dos resultados e discussão, concluímos que a influência do marketing na alimentação infantil é uma temática importante, devido à publicidade ilegal e propagandas problemáticas utilizadas por empresas alimentícias para atrair esse público, levando-o a consumir produtos ultraprocessados. Isso faz com que sua alimentação possua uma qualidade nutricional baixa e preocupante, além de interferir diretamente no desenvolvimento do hábito alimentar de crianças ao redor do mundo.
