Une poétique des traces dans la poésie de François Cheng
Authors: Wu Chunfeng
Published: July 2024

Dans la poésie de François Cheng, on décèle un intérêt particulier
porté à la trace des événements infimes de la vie. Au lieu de saisir
le monde dans sa totalité par la magie des mots, le poète a compris
que le langage poétique a perdu tout l’éclat du « Verbe » dont il
jouissait encore à l’époque symboliste pour devenir, non pas la fin,
mais seulement le moyen fugace de capter la lumière qui le déborde
largement. En s’appuyant sur les propos des poètes contemporains tels
que Philippe Jaccottet et Yves Bonnefoy, mais aussi ceux des poètes du
haïku, l’article tâche de mettre en lumière une préoccupation
communément partagée : dire un monde en perpétuelle mouvance tout en
gardant sa part irréductible. Les traces laissées, qui ne peuvent
s’appréhender que dans l’instant, sont, en effet, les fragments de la
présence palpitante du Vide originel qu’est le Tao, matérialisé
parfois par les blancs dans le poème.
Bosco et la musiqueTombeau d’un artiste à la double compétence
Authors: Neiss Benoît
Published: July 2024

Nous connaissons plus d’un écrivain qui a pratiqué la prose et la
poésie, mais exceptionnel est le cas d’un romancier (et poète dans
notre exemple) ayant reçu à la fois une formation littéraire à
l’Université et une formation musicale au Conservatoire. C’est ce qui
est arrivé à Henri Bosco, qui en plus de son importante œuvre
romanesque, a composé et parfois interprété lui-même en public des
pièces de musique. Il est intéressant de relever dans ses romans de
bien nombreuses mentions de chants, d’instruments joués par ses
personnages et d’impressions sonores variées, mais plus étonnant
encore est de découvrir la manière plus subtile dont la musique est
présente dans la construction de ses récits, dans la mélodie de ses
phrases, dans sa conception même de l’homme et du monde.
Le Mas Théotime ou la lutte contre la sauvagerieSagesse paysanne et éthique de la terre
Authors: Robinet-Bruyère Nelly
Published: July 2024

Le Mas Théotimeest
sans conteste l’œuvre de Henri Bosco la plus construite, la plus
réaliste aussi, la seule qu’il acceptait de nommer « roman ». Le récit
s’inscrit dans une temporalité « naturelle », celle de la consécution
des saisons et des travaux agricoles propres à chacune d’elles.
L’écrivain y noue les deux axes de sa poétique de la terre : rêveries
autour de la sauvagerie, rêveries de fécondité, en un combat tenace
qui prend dans la France des années 40 un sens éminemment symbolique.
Le Mas Théotimeest aussi
pour son auteur un combat intérieur, contre les délires de son
imaginaire. Il propose de surcroît une vision de la nature holiste et
écocentrée, au fondement d’une éthique de la terre étonnamment
contemporaine.
Rupture, décroissance et transfiguration chez Henri Bosco
Authors: Dhermy Arnaud
Published: July 2024

Henri Bosco porte le témoignage d'un univers disparu, évanoui avec
l'enfance ou sapé par la démesure de l'homme. C'est un sentiment de la
perte qui se mesure dans toute son œuvre, à travers une artialisation
des espaces dont les évocations effacent souvent villes et industries.
Il passe également par l'attention aux objets familiers de jadis,
transfigurés par-delà leur usage anodin. Il s'exprime enfin par la
conviction d'une transmission blessée par la négligence des
générations passées. Cette rupture met en exergue le constat d’une
décroissance contemporaine et le spectre d'un équilibre social et
cosmique devenu précaire. Ce tableau très sombre laisse toutefois la
place à la perspective cruciale d'une réappropriation aventureuse,
chère à Bosco. Initiation toujours offerte, mais au prix d'une
métamorphose fondamentale et solitaire de tout l'être.
Îles à la dérive : Hemingway entre enfer et paradis
Authors: Morello André-Alain
Published: July 2024

Îles à la dérive est
ce qui reste d’un projet de Hemingway de composer un « Livre de la
mer » qui intégrerait à ses souvenirs de sa vie à Cuba, en présence de
ses enfants, ses navigations dans les Keys, de 1942 à 1944, à la
recherche des sous-marins allemands. Tel qu’il a été publié en 1970,
ce roman offre un singulier portrait d’artiste, à la fois un peintre
fasciné par le monde naturel, un père qui va perdre tous ses enfants,
un combattant qui se bat aussi contre ses démons, le roman passant en
revue tous les « palliatifs » qui sont à la disposition de l’artiste.
Livre informe ? Oui, comme la mer.

Personnel mais partageable, terrestre et chrétien, aussi attentif à
l’esprit d’enfance qu’à celui des natures les plus fines, tissu de
souvenirs et de sensations en même temps qu’aimanté par le champ de
force d’une très vaste bibliothèque, tel est l’univers qu’a édifié
Georges Saint-Clair. Le mot qu’emploie souvent le poète pour désigner
cet univers, c’est « Territoire ». Or, ce ou ces « Territoires » – superposés ou imbriqués en
volume – sont à la fois
réels et imaginaires, visibles et invisibles. De là une « géographie
sensible » qui est aussi une remontée dans le temps et un
déchiffrement.

An Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Using Human Hair Fiber as Reinforcement
Authors: Faheem Ali Ahmer , Ahmed Aqeel , Khan Abdul Rahim , Ahmed Zaheer , Anjum Naveed , Ahmed Hasnain
Published: July 2024

The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has spurred an exploration into alternative reinforcements for concrete. In recent years, human hair fibers have emerged as a promising eco-friendly option due to their abundance, cost-effectiveness, and impressive mechanical properties. Due to this study, various sources are tapped to acquire human hair fibers, which are then subjected to a series of tests to determine their physical and mechanical attributes, including tensile strength, elasticity, and aspect ratio. Following this, concrete samples are carefully prepared, with traditional coarse aggregate being partially replaced by varying volumes of human hair fibers. A comprehensive set of experiments is carried out to assess both the initial and solidified properties of the resulting hair fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC). The mechanical features of HFRC, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength, are scrutinized and compared to those of standard concrete. An extensive investigation into how the volume of hair fibers influences these properties is conducted, pinpointing the optimal fiber dosage. Additionally, a microstructural analysis of HFRC is conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to shed light on the connection between the hair fibers and the cementitious matrix. The research findings confirm that including human hair fibers enhances the mechanical performance of concrete. The results emphasize improved tensile strength, ductility, and resistance to cracking in HFRC when compared to traditional concrete. Furthermore, the study delves into the economic and environmental benefits of using human hair fibers as a reinforcing material. The significance of this study lies in its substantial contribution to the field of sustainable construction materials by harnessing a renewable and readily available resource. The implications of these findings for the construction industry are profound, offering an innovative way to improve the mechanical properties of concrete while simultaneously reducing its environmental impact.
Lantana Camara Plant-Biochar Added Cementitious Mortar for Carbon Sequestration: Effect on Early-Age Properties
Authors: Ellahi Mir Hamsa , Siddique Muhammad Salman , Siddique Sharjeel Haider , Ullah Hameed , Ahmad Israr , Khitab Anwar
Published: July 2024

Present study deals with the use of nano/micro sized particles acquired through pyrolysis of biomass. Lantana Camara (plant) was transformed into Biochar, which was further reduced to nano/micro size by ball milling. Biochar was produced by pyrolysis at 550°C in an inert environment. The biochar was added to cementitious mortar mixes in quantities of 0, 0.05, and 0.1% by weight of cement. Early age properties were examined and compared with those of the control specimens. The results showed reduction in density, compressive strength and consistency and an increase in setting time, and flexural strength. It is concluded that the addition of the biochar of Lantana Camara enhances the performance of the cementitious mortars in some parameters. Hence, green, and more performing cementitious products can be manufactured by adding the biochar of the waste plant. This will also add to Carbon sequestration, which is a global point of concern.

Channel estimation for reconfigurable intelligent surface‐aided millimeter‐wave massive multiple‐input multiple‐output system with deep residual attention network
Authors: Zheng Xuhui , Liu Ziyan , Cheng Shitong , Wu Yingyu , Chen Yunlei , Zhang Qian
Published: July 2024

We first model the channel estimation in sixth‐generation (6G) systems as a super‐resolution problem and adopt a deep residual attention approach to learn the nontrivial mapping from the received measurement to the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) channel. Subsequently, we design a deep residual attention‐based channel estimation framework (DRA‐Net) to exploit the RIS channel distribution characteristics. Furthermore, to transfer the RIS channel feature maps extracted from the residual attention blocks (RABs) to the end of the estimator for accurate reconstruction, we propose a novel and effective feature fusion approach. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DRA‐Net‐based channel estimation method outperforms other deep learning‐based and conventional algorithms.
Graph Query Language - the new kid on the block!
Authors: Miłowski Alex
Published: July 2024

There is a new kid on the block and they may have stolen your lunch! Or maybe you’ll make a new friend? In April of this year, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32, the same group that publishes and maintains SQL, published a new query language: ISO/IEC 39075:2024 GQL. This new standard defines the property graph data model and syntax for querying and manipulating graphs. What is a property graph? What does a GQL query look like? Where might you find and use GQL? We’ll explore a short history, the basic aspects of this new standard, show some examples, and consider future applications.
Using a testbed to assess XML Database Performance
Authors: Paxton Alan , Retter Adam
Published: July 2024

We have reviewed the history of XML Benchmarking, and we have argued that the benchmarking of XML Databases has stagnated [Paxton 2024]. Consequently we have proposed that by adopting the testbed approach [Difallah 2013] [Shook 2020], and adapting it to XML databases, we can bring recent progress in OLTP and NoSQL benchmarking to XML [Paxton 2024].

Our goal is to make it easier to run flexible, repeatable, and potentially large benchmarks against any standard-compliant XQuery or XML database implementation in order to perform:

Application level benchmarking, to provide a broad characterisation of the performance of a database against a particular workload.

Microbenchmarking, in which more tailored queries and workloads are run to characterise in detail the performance of particular code or data paths within a database implementation. Microbenchmarks are often run in the presence of profiling tools which can analyse detailed CPU and memory usage patterns of a system while it is executing a workload.

We have implemented the 2 key components necessary for adopting the NoSQLBench testbed in XML Database benchmarking:

An adapter for NoSQLBench, to drive XML databases. NoSQLBench [Shook 2020] is a testbed for benchmarking NoSQL databases. It has an extensible adapter-based architecture for interacting with different NoSQL database APIs. Our adapter implements the XML:DB standard [XML:DB].

A tool xmlgen2 for the efficient generation of synthetic XML data which can be ingested into a database as a prelude to benchmarking. Of course where data ingestion is an important part of a workload, the ingestion itself can become part of the benchmark workload. This tool is modelled on the xmlgen tool of [Schmidt 2002] but is designed to be flexible enough to generate entirely diverse workloads in a straightforward way. To do this we exploit the powerful Virtual Data Set features which are part of NoSQLBench [NoSQLBench]. This is an advance over the original xmlgen tool which was only designed to generate one specific XML corpus.
Clean SOAP
Authors: Prescod Paul , Tornroth Phill
Published: July 2024

Healthcare systems worldwide face a crisis: there are far too few Primary Care Physicians (PCPs), and they are severely overworked. Modern Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems, while solving critical issues with paper-based records, have significantly increased the burden of medical case documentation. An “AI Scribe” is an artificial intelligence system designed to streamline clinical documentation by automatically generating “doctor visit notes,” which all physicians must produce following a patient visit. AI Scribe systems leverage natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to interpret and document patient encounters in a format called SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan). However, implementing AI in medical documentation raises multiple risks, including hallucinations, critical detail omissions, misclassifications, narrative quality and organization issues, security and privacy concerns, bias and discrimination, and legal and ethical challenges. Automated testing of AI-generated SOAP Notes is essential but poses its own challenges. Using Large Language Models to test the output of other Large Language Models can automate and scale semantic and contextual SOAP testing. The critical questions are: what can we test successfully, and how do we avoid an infinite regress of validators?

Break up the Bundle; Sell the Components
Authors: Usdin B. Tommie
Published: July 2024

The XML market has been moderately successful selling a package that includes: some philosophies (declarative markup and generic markup), a syntax, some programming languages (XSLT), some associated specifications, and some tools. We tell would-be users that there are significant advantages to creating, managing, and deploying their content our way, and if they cannot do that they should up-convert their content as soon as possible. This way they will be able to do multiple things with it, use many tools, be vendor independent, and they may find that their documents can suddenly play the piano and tap dance. They should use explicit, generic markup. AND they must, we tell them, use pointy brackets. AND they must leave Perl and Python in the dust and commit to XSLT (or iXML and XSLT). AND all of their code must be declarative and side-effect free. We tell them that their documents are trash, the programs they have worked for years to master are useless, and they are once-again beginners. We push this as an all or nothing proposition.

Not only is this approach arrogant and off-putting, it is wrong. And we are beginning to see this. There is no essential link between generic markup and pointy brackets. The power of declarative markup is distinct from descriptive markup. XSLT and much of the rest of the XML tool stack CAN be used in other environments. It is time we stopped insulting our would-be users, customers, colleagues and their (often highly successful) documents and environments. It is time we unbundled this package and helped people use the parts that work for them in their contexts.
Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Hemp Fiber-Reinforced in
Cellulose Acetate Composite Compared with Other Fiber Composites
Authors: Vinoth Kumar K. , Karthick K. , Balasubramanian M. , Chidhamparam R.S. , Jones S.
Published: July 2024

Despite their many similarities, natural fibers have superior mechanical
properties to synthetic fibers, including higher ultimate strength, greater
elongation, resistance to ethering, biodegradability, lightweight, and fewer
toxications. The mechanical characteristics of several matrices reinforced with
synthetic and hemp fibers were examined in the current paper. We made the
various hemp composites using vinyl ester, cellulose acetate (CA), treated CA,
and GFRP (glass fiber-reinforced polymer) with CA. Composites were examined for
mechanical characteristics such as tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness.
Composites have a density of 1.19 g/cm3. Hemp with vinyl ester has
higher tensile strength and flexural properties than other composites, but in
impact, GFRP with CA has more impact strength of nearly 400 J/m, so for making
eco-friendly biocomposite for lightweight structural applications.
Partenogenesis? Tinjauan Teologis dan Sains Tentang Kelahiran Yesus dari Seorang Perawan Maria
Authors: Sabdono Erastus , Rombot Stephanie , Christian Felix , Nunung Donny Stevianus , Erastus Stephanie
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian mendalam terhadap klaim tentang kelahiran Yesus dari seorang perawan, yang diduga terjadi melalui proses partenogenesis. Dalam tradisi Kristen, kelahiran Yesus dari Maria dianggap sebagai suatu keajaiban yang melibatkan konsep kelahiran tanpa pembuahan manusia. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui pendekatan interdisipliner yang mencakup hermeneutik (analisis teks dan sains), penelitian ini mencoba untuk mengungkap apakah partenogenesis merupakan kemungkinan ilmiah yang dapat menjelaskan kelahiran Yesus. Metode penelitian ini melibatkan analisis tekstual dari narasi kelahiran Yesus dalam Perjanjian Baru, serta pemeriksaan ilmiah mengenai kemungkinan proses partenogenesis dalam reproduksi manusia. Hasil analisis teologis dan ilmiah akan dievaluasi untuk menentukan sejauh mana klaim kelahiran Yesus dari seorang perawan dapat diterima dari perspektif keimanan dan sains. Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa peristiwa kelahiran Yesus dapat disebut partenogenesis apabila pembaca melihat melalui lensa ilmiah. Disisi lain, peristiwa kelahiran Yesus merupakan campur tangan Allah dan Roh-Nya yang Kudus sebagai hal mutlak yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dan disangkal bahkan digantikan dengan konsep lainnya.
TRABALHO E FORMAÇÃO HUMANA: ABORDAGENS ONTOLÓGICAS E PROVOCAÇÕES CONTEMPORÂNEAS
Authors: Luciano Silva Ravnjak Leandro
Published: July 2024

O trabalho sempre esteve e sempre estará presente na vida humana, fazendo parte da sua rotina e da sua essência. Entretanto, nos últimos anos, observa-se que o espaço de discussões teóricas acerca desse tema tem se esvaído, mesmo considerando o fato de que o homem trabalha, sempre trabalhou e continuará trabalhando. Assim, o esvaziamento das discussões teóricas sobre essa categoria, sobretudo no âmbito acadêmico, pode ser explicado pelas transformações sociais, políticas e econômicas que afetam, diretamente, os liames existentes entre trabalho e emprego. Ademais, acreditamos que a reestruturação produtiva seja um desses aspectos que podem estar relacionados à falta de interesse no trabalho como um tema central de discussão académica. Por meio dos textos que compõem esta obra, o leitor poderá refletir sobre a reestruturação produtiva e os movimentos de flexibilização ligados ao mundo do trabalho, que provocam a necessidade de revisitar conceitos que são importantes nessa esfera temática.
Evict+Spec+Time: Exploiting Out-of-Order Execution to Improve Cache-Timing Attacks
Authors: Cheng Shing Hing William , Chuengsatiansup Chitchanok , Genkin Daniel , McNeil Dallas , Murray Toby , Yarom Yuval , Zhang Zhiyuan
Published: July 2024

Speculative out-of-order execution is a strategy of masking execution latency by allowing younger instructions to execute before older instructions. While originally considered to be innocuous, speculative out-of-order execution was brought into the spotlight with the 2018 publication of the Spectre and Meltdown attacks. These attacks demonstrated that microarchitectural side channels can leak sensitive data accessed by speculatively executed instructions that are not part of the normal program execution. Since then, a significant effort has been vested in investigating how microarchitectural side channels can leak data from speculatively executed instructions and how to control this leakage. However, much less is known about how speculative out-of-order execution affects microarchitectural side-channel attacks.In this paper, we investigate how speculative out-of-order execution affects the Evict+Time cache attack. Evict+Time is based on the observation that cache misses are slower than cache hits, hence by measuring the execution time of code, an attacker can determine if a cache miss occurred during the execution. We demonstrate that, due to limited resources for tracking out-of-order execution, under certain conditions an attacker can gain more fine-grained information and determine whether a cache miss occurred in part of the executed code.Based on the observation, we design the Evict+Spec+Time attack, a variant of Evict+Time that can learn not only whether a cache miss occurred, but also in which part of the victim code it occurred. We demonstrate that Evict+Spec+Time is an order of magnitude more efficient than Evict+Time when attacking a T-tables-based implementation of AES. We further show an Evict+Spec+Time attack on an S-boxbased implementation of AES, recovering the key with as little as 14 815 decryptions. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first successful Evict+Time attack on such a victim.
Efficient Table-Based Masking with Pre-processing

Published: July 2024

Masking is one of the most investigated countermeasures against sidechannel attacks. In a nutshell, it randomly encodes each sensitive variable into a number of shares, and compiles the cryptographic implementation into a masked one that operates over the shares instead of the original sensitive variables. Despite its provable security benefits, masking inevitably introduces additional overhead. Particularly, the software implementation of masking largely slows down the cryptographic implementations and requires a large number of random bits that need to be produced by a true random number generator. In this respect, reducing the< overhead of masking is still an essential and challenging task. Among various known schemes, Table-Based Masking (TBM) stands out as a promising line of work enjoying the advantages of generality to any lookup tables. It also allows the pre-processing paradigm, wherein a pre-processing phase is executed independently of the inputs, and a much more efficient online (using the precomputed tables) phase takes place to calculate the result. Obviously, practicality of pre-processing paradigm relies heavily on the efficiency of online phase and the size of precomputed tables.In this paper, we investigate the TBM scheme that offers a combination of linear complexity (in terms of the security order, denoted as d) during the online phase and small precomputed tables. We then apply our new scheme to the AES-128, and provide an implementation on the ARM Cortex architecture. Particularly, for a security order d = 8, the online phase outperforms the current state-of-the-art AES implementations on embedded processors that are vulnerable to the side-channel attacks. The security order of our scheme is proven in theory and verified by the T-test in practice. Moreover, we investigate the speed overhead associated with the random bit generation in our masking technique. Our findings indicate that the speed overhead can be effectively balanced. This is mainly because that the true random number generator operates in parallel with the processor’s execution, ensuring a constant supply of fresh random bits for the masked computation at regular intervals.

Published: July 2024

This study is prompted by the lack of science process skills among students in physics learning. Through the implementation of the Learning Cycle 7E integrated with PhET, this study aims to enhance students' science process skills on sound waves. A pre-experimental research design with one group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 30 students of grade XI in one of the high schools in Bandung. The instruments employed in this study comprise science process skills test, observation sheets on the implementation of learning model, and student response questionnaire. The paired sample t-test and N-Gain were used to assess the enhancement in students' science process skills. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Learning Cycle 7E integrated with PhET can enhance students' science process skills in the moderate category, with an N-gain score of 0.63. In addition, the paired sample t-test revealed significant differences in students' science process skills after engaging in classroom learning. The implementation of the Learning Cycle 7E integrated with PhET has shown the "very good" category, and received positive responses from students. This study has provided evidence that integrating the Learning Cycle 7E with PhET can improve students' science process skills on sound waves.
The Use of Stem Cell Therapy in the Treatment of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Authors: Gallicchio Vincent S
Published: July 2024

Lymphomas are a broad category of cancers in which malignant cells form in the lymphatic system and they are among the most common cancers in the United States. Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is a lymphoma affecting the structures which make up the central nervous system: the brain, spinal cord and meninges, with the pathology of most cases belonging to the diffuse large B-cell category. Neurocognitive symptoms of PCNSL range in severity and onset, depending on the location of the tumor and the health of the patient. The prognosis of PCNSL upon diagnosis is poor, with 5-year survival rates of around 33%, contingent on patient age, gender, race, initial health, presence of autoimmune disorders or other comorbidities and access to treatments. There is a clear role of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Epstein-Barr Virus in lymphomagenesis, making these two diseases a major risk factor for the development of PCNSL. The treatments for PCNSL are most commonly high-dosage chemotherapy and whole brain radiation, with some cases requiring surgery. The exploration of the efficacy of autologous stem cell transplants in combination with high-dosage chemotherapy is an emerging area of study with great promise for the extension of overall survival rates and quality of life of PCNSL patients.

In the context of additional radiation exposure, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes encoding the antioxidant system enzymes can contribute to the oxidative stress enhancement, damage to DNA, and therefore lead to the increase in the risk of malignant neoplasm (MN) development. The study was aimed to determine the association of the СYBA (rs4673), GPX1 (rs1050450), MPO (rs2333227), CAT (rs7943316), SOD2 (rs4880) polymorphic loci with the risk of MN development in individuals affected by low dose rate chronic radiation exposure considering intergenic interactions and the radiation dose. Two groups of individuals were included in the study: exposed individuals with no MNs — 384 people with the mean accumulated dose to the red bone marrow (RBM) of 796.95 ± 35.97 mGy; exposed individuals with the history of MNs — 227 people with the mean accumulated dose to RBM of 520.06 ± 38.72 mGy. Amplification of the rs4880, rs2333227, rs7943316, rs4673, rs1050450 polymorphic loci was performed with real time PCR. Compliance with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium was reported for all gene polymorphisms. It has been found that the rs4880*С (SOD2) and rs1050450*Т (GPX1) alleles are associated with the risk of MN development in accordance with the dominant (OR = 1.49 (1.02–2.18), р = 0.04) and recessive (OR = 2.00 (1.11–3.62), р = 0.02) inheritance modes, respectively. An interfactor interaction model with the 100% reproducibility and 66% accuracy (р = 0.001) has been obtained that includes the SOD2 (rs4880), СYBA (rs4673) polymorphisms and the factor of accumulated dose to RBM. Thus, polymorphic loci of the genes regulating the oxidative status of the cells are associated with the increased risk of MN development in individuals, who have experienced chronic radiation exposure with predominant exposure of RBM.

The search for new anticoagulants requires simple and affordable methods for primary determination of their activity. Clotting tests are widely used for laboratory evaluation of the hemostatic system. These are model studies that assess the state of the hemostatic system from a clinical point of view based on the fibrin clot formation time. Reagents and instruments for such tests are produced in Russia, they have low manufacturing cost and are easy to use. However, it is necessary to make a few modifications to the measurement methods to assess the anticoagulant activity. The study was aimed to demonstrate performance of the protocol for testing the solution anticoagulant activity using the modified standard clinical tests involving measurement of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and thrombin time (TT). Reagents for measurement of aPTT, PT, and TT were used, along with the domestically produced heparin and two recombinant anticoagulant proteins from the medicinal leech obtained in our laboratory. Clotting tests were performed with the addition of anticoagulants to the reaction mixture were performed; performance and applicability limits of the methods used were determined. When studying hirudin, heparin, and cysteine-rich anticoagulant of medical leech using measurement of aPTT, TT, and PT, a dose-dependent increase in clotting time was demonstrated. The methods’ compatibility with the use of various common components of buffer solutions used in biochemical tests was determined. It was shown that the slightly modified standard blood clotting tests for determination of hemostatic parameters could be used to test new potential anticoagulants.

This research identifies, analyzes, and reformulates the juridical basis regarding criminal sanctions for domestic violence committed by law enforcement officials. By focusing on the criminalization policy in the application of criminal sanctions in the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence and the minimum limit of criminal sanctions for domestic violence according to Indonesian legislation and the application of the code of ethics for the Police. This research uses a normative juridical approach, namely by examining/analyzing secondary data in the form of legal materials, especially primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, by understanding the law as a set of positive rules or norms in the legislative system that regulates human life. The results show that the new Criminal Code Law and the PKDRT Law have undergone significant evolution in dealing with domestic violence in Indonesia. The new Criminal Code Law regulates sexual violence by incorporating elements of the PKDRT Law, albeit with lighter criminal penalties. The PKDRT Law introduces a system of formulating alternative criminal sanctions, giving judges flexibility, but the main challenge is the consistency of law enforcement and the application of professional codes of ethics in law enforcement officials, such as those stipulated in the POLRI Code of Ethics.

A notary is a public official, a person becomes a public official when he is appointed and dismissed by the government and given the authority and obligation to serve the public in certain matters. Notarial institutions recognize two legal steles, namely the Continental (Latin) stelsel with the Civil Law system and the Anglo-Saxon stelsel with the Common Law system. Notarieship as well as regulations related to notarial practice have developed in accordance with time, place and legal politics and legal awareness in their respective countries. The differences and similarities in the nature, function, strength of evidence and implementation of notarial deeds in notarial practice in the two legal systems, especially between Indonesia as a country with a Civil Law legal system and countries with a Common Law legal system are interesting to study, for example Malaysia, England and the United States. In this research, a statute approach, conceptual approach and case approach are used. The statute approach is carried out by reviewing all laws and regulations related to the legal issues being addressed.

The aim of this research is to identify relevant prophetic values and the model for developing an Arabic-speaking environment based on prophetic communication. The type of research used is a literature study and descriptive-analytic technique to describe the research problems based on literature data taken from writings, papers, journals, and relevant scientific articles or books. Furthermore, it examines how the internalization of prophetic communication values can develop an Arabic-speaking environment. The findings indicate that the prophetic communication values relevant for implementation in education and learning should be based on the four prophetic traits with the vision of humanization, liberation, and transcendence in the forms of qaulan (words) sadidan, balighan, kariman, ma’rufan, layyinan, and maysura. This can be internalized in the Arabic-speaking environment development program by creating a positive learning atmosphere, building strong relationships, developing language skills holistically, creating an environment that supports language practice, and setting an example in language use.
