Pengaruh Audit Capacity Stress, Gender, Dan Latar Belakang Pendidikan Terhadap Kualitas Audit (Studi Empiris Pada Bpk Perwakilan Provinsi Papua)
Authors: Item Frederik Yohanis , Salim Susanto
Published: November 2023

Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah menginvestigasi pengaruh Audit Capacity Stress, Gender, Dan Latar Belakang Pendidikan Terhadap Kualitas Audit (Studi Empiris Pada BPK Perwakilan Provinsi Papua). Salah satu faktor yang berpotensi mempengaruhi kualitas audit adalah Audit Capacity Stress (ACS). ACS mengacu pada tekanan dan beban kerja yang dialami oleh para auditor akibat tuntutan pekerjaan yang tinggi, batas waktu yang ketat, tantangan teknis yang kompleks, dan faktor stres lainnya yang melekat dalam profesi audit. Gender juga merupakan faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas audit. Meskipun profesi audit telah mengalami kemajuan signifikan dalam kesetaraan gender, perbedaan dalam pendekatan dan perilaku antara auditor pria dan auditor wanita mungkin masih ada. Auditor pria dan wanita dapat memiliki kelebihan dan atribut yang berbeda yang berpotensi mempengaruhi kualitas audit mereka. Selain itu, latar belakang pendidikan juga memainkan peran yang signifikan dalam membentuk pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kompetensi auditor. Auditor dengan latar belakang pendidikan yang solid dan relevan cenderung memiliki pemahaman yang lebih baik dalam melaksanakan audit. Latar belakang pendidikan yang beragam juga dapat memberikan perspektif yang lebih luas dan membantu auditor dalam menghadapi tantangan audit. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif, dengan seluruh auditor yang bekerja di lingkungan BPK Perwakilan Provinsi Papua sebagai populasi yang menjadi fokus penelitian. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan metode purposive sampling untuk memilih sampel yang sesuai dengan kriteria tertentu. Sampel yang dipilih meliputi auditor yang telah melakukan kegiatan pemeriksaan di wilayah Papua dan berada dalam lingkungan BPK Perwakilan Provinsi Papua. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Audit capacity stress tidak berpengaruh terhadap Kualitas Audit. Gender berpengaruh terhadap kualitas audit. Latar belakang Pendidikan tidak berpengaruh terhadap Kualitas Audit.
On the Virtuousness of Certain Refusals to Comply with Legal Demands Prompted by Other Normativities
Authors: Carrillo-Santarelli Nicolás
Published: November 2023

The question of whether a deliberate choice to refuse to comply with the demands placed on a moral agent by a given provision of positive law can be explored from the perspective of different ethical approaches, including deontology and consequentialism. However, examining that question from the standpoint of virtue ethics can prove especially illuminating, considering how it expressly takes into account nuances pertaining the specific context in which agents find themselves and the tension between different virtues. In this article, I carry out one such examination, considering the value of justice. I further posit that if harm and negative effects on others do not take place or are outweigh by the injustice of a legal demand, and alternative remedies with prospect of effectiveness to address a potential injustice brought about by the law are not feasibly present, then disobedience in a deliberate fashion can prove sometimes to be not only ethical but even, in exceptional cases, the most responsible course of action.
“Prendre Un Bain De Multitude”: Origins of the Flâneur in Baudelaire’s Translations of De Quincey
Authors: Covelo Roxanne
Published: November 2023

For many contemporary readers, the flâneur is synonymous with the Paris of Baudelaire, its Haussmannised Grands Boulevards, and the so-called “bain de multitude”—that is, the idea of the crowd as immersive spectacle. In his reading of Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin points to texts like “Les Foules,” from Le Spleen de Paris, as well as “L’Homme des foules,” a translation of Poe, as interpretive keys to understanding the Baudelairian flâneur. However, Benjamin overlooks an earlier and arguably more important text of Baudelaire’s on the subject: 1860’s Les Paradis artificiels. Baudelaire’s extended study of drug use and creativity is comprised mainly of a translation and adaptation of Thomas De Quincey’s 1821 memoir, the Confessions of an English Opium-Eater. As their titles suggest, both the Confessions and Les Paradis artificiels are centred mainly on addiction; but they are also, on a core level, texts about modernity, the urban space, and the flâneur (or the “peripatetic,” as De Quincey calls him). This article considers Baudelaire’s translation of De Quincey’s crowdscapes in Les Paradis artificiels and the re-emergence of De Quinceyan imagery and expressions in Baudelaire’s subsequent writing on flânerie and the modern city.
Effect of removing the spring flush and phosphor-nitrogenous fertilization on the reflowering and late ripening of cactus pear Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill
Authors: Mohamed ARBA  , Aziz RMILI
Published: November 2023

The aim of this work was to study the effect of removing the spring flush (scozzolatura practice) and phosphor-nitrogenous fertilization on the refloring and late ripening of cactus pear Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. To meet this objective, trials were carried out on an adult plantation of cactus pear ‘Aissa’ in Agadir area during the 2018 season. The scozzolatura practice consisted of removing the whole spring flush of flowers and cladodes during full blooming (50% flowers in bloom). The fertilization doses provided are: 0-0, 120-18 and 195-33 kg N-P2O5 ha-1. The soil of the site of trials contains a reserve of 30-12 kg N-P2O5 ha-1 and the treatments of fertilization studied are: (T0: control without supply) 30-12 kg N- P2O5 ha-1, (T1) 150-30 kg N-P2O5 ha-1 and (T2) 225-45 kg N-P2O5 ha-1. Obtained results showed that the scozzolatura practice delayed the reflowering for 44 days compared to the spring flowering and the late fruiting for 54 days compared to seasonal fruiting. However, phosphor-nitrogenous fertilization does not affect significantly (p ˃ 0.05) the reflowering and late ripening of cactus pear. Appliying T2 treatment of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization after the scozzolatura practice improved the number of flowers (194) and cladodes (160) emitted per plant.

The Intended Blessed Tree in the Quran - Is it Olive Tree or Palm Oil Tree?
Authors: Koutb Mostafa
Published: November 2023

This article aims to provide an alternative scientific interpretation for verse 35 in Surat An-Nur. This verse addresses the very famous simile in the Quran which describes the light of Allah. In this verse Allah mentioned that ꞌAllah (is the) light (of) the heavens and the earth. (The) example (of) His Light (is) like a niche in it (is) a lamp; the lamp (is) in a glass, the glass as if it were a star brilliant (which) is lit from a tree blessed - an olive, not (of the) east and not (of the) west, would almost its oil glow, even if not touched it fireꞌ [1]Despite all the most commentators who have addressed this verse singled the olive tree as the blessed tree, the intended tree still has one characteristic  that is enigmatic. Regarding this characteristic ꞌnot east and not westꞌ, all previous interpretations directed this characteristic to the compass directions. But they did not give any logical and acceptable justification. Dealing with this verse with another linguistic concept, particularly with three words in the verse ꞌzaytūnatin, sharqiyyatin, and gharbiyyatinꞌ can change the story of the intended blessed tree. The first word in the Arabic language could be considered as an adjective for exaggeration meaning a high oil producer rather than the genus olive. More interestingly, this word has been mentioned as an indefinite noun without ꞌAlꞌ which makes the noun definite when it is used as a prefix; therefore, in this case, it is not specific to olive but it could refer to any tree producing high amount of oil. The second word ꞌsharqiyyatinꞌ comes from the verb ꞌsharekꞌ, which in Arabic means, particularly for dates, that they became reddish in color as a sign of maturity. The third word ꞌgharbiyyatinꞌ derives its meaning from the verb ꞌgharbꞌ which means it became black. When these new meanings are applied to the verse, the first word will now mean any tree with high oil production. The other two words, will mean reddish and black colors of the fruit not the east and west directions. These two characteristics could be considered to be distinguishable features for palm oil tree not for olive trees. In this paper two additional evidences supporting this idea have been addressed. Therefore, the palm oil tree, particularly the subspecies nigrescens could be a potential candidate for the blessed tree in the Quran.

Water contamination caused by toxic cadmium metal ions is a worldwide problem. There is a need to explore new methods of cadmium removal from water. The green algae Enteromorpha flexuosa, obtained from the Red Sea in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, was used to prepare iron nanoparticles. TEM, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM techniques were used to characterize the prepared nanoparticles. The prepared nanoparticle's surface was rough, with nanoparticle sizes ranging from 10 to 50 nm. The developed nanoparticles were used to adsorb cadmium ions from water in batch mode. With a 25.0 µg/L concentration, a temperature of 25˚C, 7.0 pH, 60 minutes contact time and 0.5 g/L dose, the maximum removal of cadmium was 48.2 µg/g. The sorption efficiency was measured using the Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin, Langmuir and Freundlich models. The amounts of ΔG° were -8.0, -9.93 and -12.24 kJ/mol while the values of ΔS° and ΔH° were -30.96 x 10-3 kJ/mol and 37.79 x 10-2 kJ/mol. These data confirmed the endothermic nature of cadmium metal ions removal. Along with the liquid film diffusion process, the adsorption adopted the kinetics of pseudo-second-order type. The recorded adsorption method is fast, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly and can be applied for testing the elimination of cadmium metal ions in natural waters.

Deforestation of the Lake Chad region (LCR) has led to the loss of vegetation and biodiversity in the area. This situation has not only exacerbated the adverse effects of rising aridity in the region but has resulted in its desertification. Agricultural activities are endangered as a result of this unhealthy practice. Extant studies have largely focused on the nexus between climate change and food insecurity in the LCR without adequate attention on the impact of deforestation. The study examined how deforestation in concert with climate change has affected food security in the LCR. Data were generated from secondary sources and analysed using qualitative descriptive method. The theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming was adopted. The study found, among others, that the increasing deforestation of the LCR’s vegetation is implicated in food insecurity menacing the area. It recommended, inter alia, an effective implementation of the African Union’s Great Green Wall initiative aimed at ensuring strategic reforestation of the region in order to attenuate the adverse effects of climate change and restore the region’s viability for agricultural production.
Does Unconscious Bias Affect Psychological Well-being in Ideological and Political Education? Moderating Effects of Self-regulation and Mind Awareness
Authors:   Counselling and Psychology, Counselling and Special Education Department, Mutah University - Karak - Jordan, Suhaib Khaled AL-Takhayneh
Published: November 2023

Psychological well-being is a necessary element for the success of students in any education system. Because of its relevance, this aspect of students’ life needs researchers’ focus. It have been featured as the main topic of some studies in Africa, and these studies show that the challenges faced by educators in Africa are increasing with their working conditions, thereby affecting their enthusiasm for their jobs. Hence, the present article investigates the impact of the unconscious bias of teachers on the psychological well-being of ideological and political education students in Jordan. The study also examines the moderating impact of self-regulation and mind awareness on the unconscious bias of teachers and the psychological well-being of ideological and political education students in Jordan. The article used survey questionnaires and a primary data collection approach to gather data from a sample of 357 students who were selected through simple random-sampling. The study also used the SPSS-AMOS to test the reliability, validity and correlation among variables. The results indicated that the unconscious bias of teachers has a negative link with the psychological well-being of the ideological and political education students in Jordan. The results also showed that self-regulation and mind awareness significantly moderate the unconscious bias of teachers and the psychological well-being of the ideological and political education students in Jordan. This study, therefore, serves as a guide to policymakers in establishing the regulations related to improving the students' psychological well-being by eliminating teachers' unconscious bias.

In the modern world, suicide is frequently attributed to various factors such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcoholism, or drug abuse. However, this study identified other intrinsic factors that might induce suicidal feelings. These often-neglected factors, which are more spiritual than physical, relate to the idea of ‘dying for something’ and/or ‘dying for nothing’. The study aimed to explore the understanding of suicide among the Igbo people of Nigeria. Since Igboland is a large area, the study adopted the culture area method of interpretation. The reason for this method is to avoid the error of over-generalization, hence, what obtains in one subculture may not be the same in another subculture. The area of concentration of the study is the central sub-cultural area of Igboland, which is Ugbaike Enugu-Ezike of Southeast Nigeria. Data for the study was generated from both event reviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Following a qualitative analysis, the findings show that, first, suicide is considered a taboo topic among Igbo people. It is very clear that, traditionally, the Igbo conceptualize suicide as an abomination against the gods, meaning that taking one’s life is not permitted by any human or spiritual agents. The study also identified the reasons for suicide, which intrinsically varied according to space and time. Generally, suicide stirs up discomfort in the supernatural world and to escape from the wrath of the supernatural powers, an expiatory sacrifice must be performed.
Eco-Nolly: The depiction of the gods as forest dwellers and tree nymphs in the discourse of preserving Africa’s ecological richness
Authors:   Department of Theatre Arts, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, Chukwuma Anyanwu
Published: November 2023

While Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie/film industry, may have had a chequered history, it has no doubt carved a niche for itself in the global space of the film industry. It currently stands as the most authoritative and authentic voice of Africa and the Black race in film discourse. Employing historical-analytic and direct observation methods, this paper examines how Nigerian moviemakers preserve the Nigerian/African ecosystem through their film locales. By building homes for the gods in the forests and on tree trunks, they preserve such trees, which would have fallen victim to modernisation by being used as planks and woods for various purposes. Unfortunately, this supposedly noteworthy effort is distorting reality and misrepresenting the way Africans relate with and treat their gods. Drawing from Gerbner’s Cultivation Theory, the paper submits that Nollywood’s concept of forests and tree trunks as the dwelling place of the gods might, over time, be assumed to be the norm rather than a fictitious creation of filmmakers by the viewers in contrast to reality unless it is addressed forthwith. It is, therefore, recommended that Nollywood filmmakers should not sacrifice the reality of the dwelling place of the gods in Africa for the purpose of achieving film richness and aesthetics.
The health professional-sub-Saharan migrant relationship in the network of primary healthcare facilities in Morocco: “Case prefecture of Meknes”

Given its geographical position, Morocco has become a crossroad of migratory flows for sub-Saharan migrants. This recent phenomenon has taken several forms over the last decade. Among others, certain migrants take the risk in difficult conditions and find themselves at the end of their African trajectory, stopped in the north of the continent due to restrictive measures taken by the European Union. Most of them are forced to stay in Morocco, where these sub-Saharan migrants face all sorts of health precariousness and difficulties in accessing healthcare, as well as subhuman conditions of social and family isolation, and economic and administrative vulnerability. The study aims to take a sociological look at the specific context of the health of sub-Saharan migrants, which aims, through a quantitative and qualitative study, to analyse the relationship between health professionals and sub-Saharan migrants. The survey took place in primary healthcare facilities in the prefecture of Meknes. The results obtained reveal that despite the efforts made by the Moroccan Ministry of Health to facilitate migrants’ access to health services, the “cultural diversity” dimension in the field of health has remained a hindrance. This is evident in the misunderstanding between the health professional and the Sub-Saharan migrants, which has influenced the quality of healthcare delivery in that it has sometimes put the health professional in “cultural shocks” on the one hand, and the Sub-Saharan migrants in difficulties to easily benefit from culturally congruent healthcare on the other hand. This said, health professionals need training on the cultural diversity of Sub-Saharan communities to ensure culturally sensitive and competent transcultural healthcare.

Chemical markers that modified DNA and its protein scaffold had emerged as a crucial area of epigenetic research. As the research advanced, regulatory mechanisms similar to those discovered in DNA were identified in messenger RNA (mRNA) and other RNA types. The liver, the largest organ in the body, primarily responsible for metabolic functions, uniquely depended on mRNA modifications for its physiological functions and pathological states. In recent years, critical breakthroughs were made in the realm of methylation modifications, particularly in N6-methyladenosine (m6A), N5-methylcytosine, and N1-methyladenosine. This paper primarily focused on the role of m6A modifications in chronic liver diseases such as viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma, while also discussing the clinical implications of mRNA modifications.

Introdução: Infecções do trato urinário (ITUs) são uma das causas mais comuns de internação no Brasil. Essa situação é agravada pelo uso indiscriminado de antimicrobianos no combate da infecção. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as características microbiológicas das ITUs ambulatoriais causadas por Escherichia coli segundo características demográficas. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal com dados secundários de uroculturas e antibiogramas positivos de pacientes ambulatoriais na região metropolitana de Goiânia, Goiás, Brasil, entre janeiro de 2011 e dezembro de 2019. Resultado: Foram identificados 22.034 laudos de urocultura positiva. Desses laudos identificados, 14791 (67,1%) eram infecções causadas por Escherichia coli. Maiores prevalências das infecções foram notadas na faixa etária de 19 a 59 anos e ≥ 60 anos no ano de 2017, e para aqueles com idade ≤ 1 em 2018. Além disso, houve um aumento significativo da prevalência e da resistência no sexo feminino e no masculino da Nitrofurantoína, Ciprofloxacino, Amoxicilina/Clavulanato, Cefuroxima e Cefalexina. Também, houve um aumento da prevalência e da resistência nos antibióticos Ampicilina e Amicacina. Todavia, para esses dois o aumento foi significativo apenas no sexo feminino. Por outro lado, houve uma queda significativa da prevalência e da resistência em ambos os sexos nos antibióticos Trimetoprima/Sulfametoxazol, Gentamicina e Trobamicina. Além disso, houve uma queda não significativa para a Amoxacilina. Por fim, também houve uma queda, porém significativa, apenas para o sexo feminino para a Cefoxitina e Cefaclor. Ademais, a maior prevalência da resistência bacteriana ocorreu no sexo masculino para todos os antimicrobianos testados. Destarte, a prevalência da resistência aos antibióticos, quando comparadas as faixas etárias, foi estatisticamente significante para os antibióticos Nitrofurantoína, Ciprofloxacino, Amoxacilina Clavulanato, Ampicilina, Cefoxitina, Cefuroxima, Gentamicina e Cefalexina. Conclusão: O estudo concluiu que as ITUs por Escherichia coli são mais prevalentes na faixa etária de 19 a 59 anos e que em indivíduos do sexo masculino ocorre uma maior prevalência da resistência bacteriana. Sendo assim, criar um sistema de monitorização atualizado da resistência bacteriana será um grande passo para a saúde pública, já que permite identificar a emergência de patógenos resistentes a antimicrobianos frequentemente utilizados no tratamento.

Glaucoma is a condition where the eyes of human beings are infected due to retinal damage which could result in loss of vision. It generally occurs due to prolonged pressure on the eye and affects the optic nerve if not treated at the earliest stage. However, it is hard for even experts to detect it at the earlier stage. Hence numerous image processing techniques were applied to identify Glaucoma in retinal eyes. The profound purpose of the work is to propose a pre-processing console to remove outliers in the Glaucoma retinal Fundus images using Denoising techniques of pre-processing to enhance the prediction using image pre-processing and computer vision techniques. The model was created with three stages including applying the denoising model using the Median Filtering for Edge Preservation, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and optimizing by eliminating irrelevant features using the Black Widow Optimization model and finally evaluating the performance of denoising techniques using accuracy-based predictions. The results showed that after performing a combination of denoising and optimizing techniques, the image quality was enhanced with 97% outperforming the existing models.
Okkulte Makuladystrophie – eine Fallserie
Authors: Dellostritto Stephen , Gleason Sarah , Bass Sherry
Published: November 2023

Purpose. This case series showcases three patients with mild variation in phenotypic presentations of Occult Macular Dystrophy (OCMD), an autosomal-dominant inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) associated with a retinitis pigmentosa-1-like-1 (RP1L1 ) gene mutation. All cases have confirmed RP1L1 gene mutations and display a range of phenotypic expressions on various imaging modalities and visual acuities. Material and Methods. Three patients of the University Eye Center (UEC) with confirmed RP1L1 gene mutations presented for follow-up or baseline imaging to rule out inherited retinal disease. All patients underwent fundus photography with and without fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), genetic testing, visual fields, and electrodiagnostic testing such as multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and/or full-field electroretinogram (ffERG). Results. In two of the three cases, minimal to no funduscopic changes are appreciated on ophthalmoscopy or fundus photography with and without FAF. Effects of OCMD can only be appreciated on OCT imaging, including attenuation or disruption of the photoreceptor integrity line (PIL), and cen- tral depression on visual field testing. One of the three cases displays an unusual presentation with asymmetric central outer retinal atrophy that can be appreciated on fundoscopy as well as other imaging modalities. Conclusion. Although individuals with this IRD typically funduscopically appear normal, there may be a phenotypic spectrum impacting visual potential. Diagnosis of this con- dition is heavily dependent on macular OCT, electrophysio- logical testing, and genetic testing.

Рассмотрена задача управления распространением однонаправленной волны упругого сдвига в бесконечном пьезоэлектрическом волноводе на конечном интервале времени. Поверхности пьезоэлектрических волноводов свободны от напряжения и контакта. Нагруженные электроды с переменным потенциалом электрического поля расположены на разном расстоянии от поверхности волновода. Нагруженные электроды вблизи механически свободных поверхностей пьезоэлектрического волновода вызывают эквивалентное электромеханическое воздействие на поверхности волновода. Сформулирована задача граничного управления распределением компонент волны электроактивной однонаправленной сдвиговой деформации по толщине волновода. Она решается с помощью метода разложения в ряды Фурье, заключающегося в нахождении правильной формы электроакустических волн с использованием соответствующих гармоник поверхностных воздействий. Так же, были проведены аналитические и численные расчеты для конкретного случая равнонагруженных и равноудаленных от поверхностей волновода электродов.

Considered the problem of controlling unidirectional elastic shear wave propagation in an infinite piezoelectric waveguide over a finite time interval. The piezoelectric waveguide surfaces are free from stress and contact. Loaded electrodes with varying electric field potentials are located at varying distances from the waveguide surfaces. The loaded electrodes near the mechanically free surfaces of the piezoelectric waveguide result in equivalent electromechanical action on the waveguide surfaces. The boundary control problem for the distribution of electroactive unidirectional shear deformation wave components across the waveguide thickness is formulated. It is solved using the Fourier series expansion method, which involves finding the proper form of electroacoustic waves using corresponding harmonics of surface actions. Additionally, analytical and numerical calculations were conducted for the specific case of electrodes being equally loaded and equidistant from the waveguide surfaces.

Published: November 2023

Using remote sensing monitoring data of land use/land cover in China in 2000 and 2020, this study explores the changes in land use types in Yulin City through the land use transfer matrix. The results indicate that the main types of land use in Yulin City are grassland, cultivated land, and unused land. From 2000 to 2020, the order of absolute changes in the area of land use types in the study area is: unused land>grassland>construction land>cultivated land>forest land>water area, and its changes are closely related to national ecological policies; The area of construction land has significantly increased after 2000, which is consistent with the process of urbanization development; The continuous decrease in water area is mainly influenced by natural factors. The changes in land use types in Yulin City are influenced by both natural and social factors, with ecological policies and urbanization development dominating.

With the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for electric energy in society is increasing, which puts forward higher requirements for the structure and scale of the national power network. High voltage direct current transmission is considered a new technology that can effectively alleviate the problems of power resource allocation and transmission. Insulation technology is an important part of high-voltage DC transmission and transformation technology. Currently, research on external insulation components such as silicone rubber sleeves is relatively mature, and there is relatively little research on DC internal insulation components such as epoxy poured insulators. Under direct current conditions, the surface of insulation materials is prone to charge accumulation effects, resulting in significant differences in insulation and flashover characteristics compared to AC insulation materials.

Jelen lenni a terepen : Távolról folytatott etnográfiai párbeszédek és kommunikáció
Authors: Ricci Antonello
Published: November 2023

A Covid-pandémia kontextusa, amelyben 2020 és 2022 között éltünk, közös társadalmi magatartássá tette a távolságtartást és rákényszerítette az embereket, hogy a személyes kapcsolatok ellehetetlenülését részben a modern kommunikációs technológia használatával kompenzálják. Az új helyzet az etnográfiai kutatás technikáját is érintette, mivel nem lehetett a helyszínre utazni, mindenki tartott a szoros kontaktustól, és meg kellett tenni a szükséges óvintézkedéseket a fertőzés elkerülésére. Mindez felveti a kérdést, hogy mit értünk az alatt, hogy a „terepen lenni”. A jelen cikk hosszú távú etnográfiai vizsgálatokon alapul, különösen azokon a reflexiókon, amelyek a legnépszerűbb digitális platformok, különösen a WhatsApp révén gyűjtött adatokra építő, sűrű és mély etnográfiai dokumentumok kapcsán merültek fel.

Authors: Da Silva Camila Pereira , Da Silva Isabella Aparecida , Dias Laerte Araquem Fidelis
Published: November 2023

O presente artigo visa abordar a violação de direitos sofridos por gestantes que se encontram em situação de cárcere no sistema prisional brasileiro, essas violações envolvem superlotação de celas, más condições de higiene, tortura psicológica, despreparo dos agentes entre outros, isso é devido à má administração do sistema penitenciário, sendo marcado pelo racismo estrutural onde a maioria da população carcerária é pobre, negra e com baixa escolaridade. A falta de segurança pública afeta muito a população brasileira, e sua presença torna-se uma garantia de não proteção aos direitos individuais dos cidadãos, como trabalhar com dignidade, viver em sociedade e divertir-se com segurança. A desigualdade social também acaba afetando a segurança pública, pois quanto maior a desigualdade, maior o número de homicídios. Os direitos humanos são uma categoria de direitos básicos e inalienáveis, e tem como objetivo trazer dignidade, liberdade e proteção, abrangendo todos os indivíduos, incluindo os autores de infrações penais.
