Earned Value Analysis Terhadap Biaya dan Waktu pada Proyek Pembangunan Gudang Produksi PP. Indopack Printing Nganjuk
Authors: Wiranegara Dimas Gusti , Sarya Gede , Triana Masca Indra
Published: August 2024

Earned Value Analysis is a technique of analyzing cost and time to obtain the performance achieved per time on a project, so that users are able to predict the cost and time required to complete the remaining project work. The prediction is calculated with the assumption that the performance of completing the rest of the project will be the same and constant as the performance obtained when the review was conducted. Thus, a system is needed to integrate cost and time information. The Earned Value concept is an analysis used in project management by integrating cost and time. The results show the value of Cost Variance (CV) week 16 during the review of Rp.1,995,516,896, Schedule Variance (SV) of Rp.-162,490,873 which shows there is no cost overrun in implementation but the schedule is not according to plan. While the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) value of 0.994 < 1 and Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 1.070 means that the project is delayed but still profitable. The results of the analysis of the costs required to complete the remaining project Estimate To Complate (ETC) at week 16 review with a value of Rp. 19,270,138,044. While the results of the analysis of the amount of time required to complete the Estimate To Schedule (ETS) project amounted to 126.76 with a rounding of 127 days.
Examining Power Through Practice in Continuous Improvement in Education
Authors: Sandoval Carlos , Bohannon Angel Xiao , Michael Joshua
Published: August 2024

In this conceptual article, we argue for the need to examine power relations in continuous improvement (CI) in education. Specifically, we contend that examining power in CI requires an examination of practices that constitute the work of CI. Drawing on practice theory, we conceptualize practice and power and use these constructs to examine a CI effort on improving mathematical proficiency in an elementary school. From this case, we draw out three power moves to illustrate how examining power through practice in CI can generate insight into the varied power dynamics in a CI effort. We end by arguing for more examinations into the practice of CI work to understand power relations and the enactment of CI efforts in education broadly.

Published: August 2024

Introducción: la osteomielitis crónica no bacteriana (CNO) es una enfermedad autoinflamatoria ósea y se manifiesta con un amplio espectro clínico, presentándose con afectación monofocal o multifocal. Dado que no es siempre multifocal o recurrente, o ambas, fue propuesto que CNO se utilice como un término que comprenda a todas las presentaciones y la osteomielitis multifocal crónica recurrente (CRMO) se utilice para formas recurrentes y multifocales.
Objetivo: presentar un caso clínico inédito, de baja prevalencia a nivel mundial, en una adolescente portadora de una enfermedad autoinflamatoria ósea que planteó desafíos diagnósticos y terapéuticos.
Descripción: adolescente, mujer, 11 años, previamente sana que se presentó con dorso-lumbalgia invalidante de un mes de evolución, sin otra sintomatología asociada. Tras varias consultas en emergencia, ingresa a planta de internación pediátrica del Hospital Central de las Fuerzas Armadas (HCFFAA) en octubre de 2021. Resonancia nuclear magnética (RNM) de columna evidencia foco de edema óseo en cuerpo de T11, hemograma normal; VES 48 mm/h, ANA, anti-DNA, FR y HLA B27 negativos.
Resultados: luego de descartar procesos infecciosos, oncohematológicos y una vez obtenido el resultado de una biopsia por punción ósea que evidenciaba elementos inflamatorios, se llegó al diagnóstico de CNO en el mes de febrero de 2022, tiempo récord comparando este caso con la literatura internacional. El diagnóstico de esta entidad clínica promedio a nivel mundial es de 12 meses.

Published: August 2024

Objetivo: conocer la relación entre el perfil de consumo de alimentos (frecuencia y tipo) con la prevalencia, extensión y distribución de las lesiones de caries en niños de 18-35 meses de la ciudad de Montevideo, Uruguay.
Material y método: se realizó un estudio transversal con una muestra no probabilística de 50 niños, de ambos sexos. Los padres respondieron a un cuestionario sobre datos sociodemográficos, hábitos alimenticios e higiene bucal. Dos examinadoras calibradas registraron las lesiones de caries de acuerdo al criterio ICDAS-epi, índice de placa visible e índice PUFA. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos para caries dental y dieta (tipo de alimento, incorporación y frecuencia).
Resultados: los niños examinados presentaban una edad promedio de 26,6±5,9 meses. La prevalencia de caries fue de 34%, con una extensión de 2,3 y 4,3 para ceo-d y ceo-s, respectivamente. Mayoritariamente se observaron lesiones severas, no tratadas, en el sector anterosuperior y posteroinferior. El índice PUFA fue de 8%. El 30% consumía leche materna, 54% leche con azúcar y el 100% consumía diariamente bebidas azucaradas no lácteas y alimentos azucarados antes de los 11 meses de vida. Los niños que consumían bebidas azucaradas (no lácteas) en biberón presentaron mayor extensión y severidad de las lesiones de caries (ceo-d modificado = 3,5 y ceo-s modificado = 7,8).
Conclusiones: el conocimiento de los patrones de alimentación en la primera infancia necesitan ser profundizados. La población estudiada mostró la temprana incorporación de azúcar a la dieta, alertando sobre la presencia de un factor de riesgo común a diversas enfermedades no transmisibles (caries, diabetes, obesidad, enfermedades cardiovasculares).

Published: August 2024

La pandemia ha repercutido en los hábitos cotidianos y en la salud de las personas en múltiples formas, afectando el acceso a las consultas médicas, tratamientos especializados y educación. Las poblaciones con mayor vulnerabilidad socioeconómica o de salud, o ambas, parten de un lugar más desfavorecido respecto a otras ante una situación de pandemia. En el marco de la situación sanitaria de emergencia, realizamos un estudio con el fin de conocer el perfil de desarrollo de los niños atendidos en la Policlínica de Neurodesarrollo del Servicio de Neuropediatría del CHPR durante 2020 y comparar el acceso a servicios de salud y educación con el de aquellos atendidos en 2019, por medio de un estudio descriptivo longitudinal. La información fue relevada mediante entrevista telefónica con los referentes y el análisis de los informes de la evaluación del desarrollo realizada. Según los resultados obtenidos se constata un menor acceso a la educación y a la salud en tiempos de pandemia y repercusiones variadas en la vida cotidiana de los niños con trastornos del neurodesarrollo, manifestando los referentes 60% de impacto negativo, principalmente en el aumento de la irritabilidad y la inquietud. Las restricciones de la pandemia han puesto en primer plano las consecuencias de problemáticas que existían previamente, como ser el costoso acceso a tratamientos especializados y dificultades en el acceso a la educación de calidad adaptada al perfil de desarrollo de cada niño. Esperamos, con el presente trabajo, aportar en mejorar las condiciones ambientales y el acceso a oportunidades de los niños pequeños con patologías del desarrollo.

Rethinking Measuring Moral Foundations in Prisoners: Validity Concerns and Implications
Authors: Han Hyemin , Paruzel-Czachura Mariola
Published: August 2024

Prisoners, those who probably engaged in criminal activities, might possess different perceptions and notions of moral foundations than non-prisoners. Thus, assessing such foundations among the population without testing the validity of the measure may produce biased outcomes. To address the potential methodological issue, we examined the validity of the measurement model for moral foundations among prisoners and community members, i.e., non-prisoners. We conducted the measurement invariance test and measurement alignment to test whether the model was consistently valid across the groups. We also employed the differential item functioning test to examine whether item responses were not biased between the different populations. Results demonstrated significant measurement non-invariance and differential item functioning. However, measurement alignment could address the non-invariance issue. Between-group comparisons of moral foundations were consistent with findings from prior research after performing the alignment.
Correlating Dimensionless Enthalpy, Pyrometry, and Melt Pool Geometry Within the Laser Powder Bed Fusion Energetic Regime

Published: August 2024

In the realm of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), controlling the melt pool in situ represents a critical challenge, as numerous defects are associated with its dynamics. This research demonstrates the utility of pyrometric signals in gaining insights into the depth of vapor capillaries during LPBF processes. By establishing a correlation between a semi-empirical enthalpy model and pyrometric data, gathered on a powder-free substrate, a pathway towards the in-situ control of melt pool geometry is unveiled. The study introduces a dimensionless enthalpy model designed for predicting the aspect ratio of melt pools in LPBF. A linear relationship between the depth of melt pools, pyrometric signals, and dimensionless enthalpy is established through correlation with this model and measurements from metallographic cross sections. Histographic analysis of pyrometric data reveals unique signatures that correlate with conduction and keyhole mode melting, suggesting that these distinct histogram forms are indicative of keyhole stability. The findings confirm that the relationships defined in this study are applicable across varying spot sizes and hatch distances, allowing for the inference of optimal parameters directly from pyrometric signals. This research lays the groundwork for real-time control of melt pool geometry, marking a significant advancement towards enhancing the quality and consistency of LPBF and holds potential applications to laser welding processes.
Creativity in dialogues: How do children interact with parents vs. with strangers for generating creative ideas?
Authors: Bai Honghong , Chan Lukshu , Luo Aoxin , Kroesbergen Evelyn , TsinghuaChildCognition
Published: August 2024

Background. It was increasingly pointed out that creativity does not occur in isolation within individual minds but rather through continuous interactions between people. Aims. This study investigated whether and how interactions revealing perspective taking within dyads influenced the generation of creative ideas. Sample. Participants were 103 4- to 6-year-old Chinese children, 60 parents, and 43 university students. Method. Children were randomly assigned to either work with a (grand)parent (child-parent dyads) or with an unfamiliar university student (child-stranger dyads) on the Alternative Uses Task (AUT), wherein they needed to “think together” of as many unusual uses as possible for five everyday objects. A novel coding scheme was designed and applied to analyze subjects’ verbalization, differentiating cognitive perspective taking (an exchange ideas and thoughts) and social-emotional perspective taking (creating an open, accepting atmosphere). Results. Child-parent dyads exhibited more cognitive perspective taking than child-stranger dyads, but no group differences were found pertaining to social-emotional perspective taking. Regardless of dyad type, dyads’ cognitive perspective taking showed positive influence on dyads’ fluency and originality but negative influence on dyads’ appropriateness, whereas dyads’ social-emotional perspective taking showed no influence. Finally, it was found that adults’ cognitive perspective taking and social-emotional perspective taking were found to positively influence children’s fluency (thus also originality). Conclusions. This study confirmed the importance of cognitive perspective taking in facilitating idea generation, more toward the originality than the appropriateness aspect of creativity. The hypothesized importance of social-emotional perspective taking on creativity was not confirmed.
A Drop in the Bucket? The Effectiveness of Nudging Healthier Snacks in a Supermarket in a Deprived Neighborhood in the Netherlands
Authors: van den Bekerom Loes , van Gestel Laurens , Bussemaker Jet , Adriaanse Marieke
Published: August 2024

Nudging is often proposed as a promising policy approach for improving healthy choices among lower socio-economic position (SEP) populations. However, nudges may not suit lower SEP contexts and empirical studies are scarce. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of a repositioning nudge at a supermarket in a deprived neighborhood in improving healthier snack purchases and to describe customers’ healthy grocery shopping needs. Daily sales were collected during a four-week control period and a four-week intervention period, where healthier snacks replaced unhealthy snacks at the checkout. Besides, questionnaires were administered. More healthier snacks were sold per day during the intervention period (M = 3.14, SD = 2.45) than control period (M = 0.54, SD = 0.96), t(27) = 5.62, p < .001. Despite statistical significance, the absolute number of healthier snacks sold remains negligible. Customers report to find it important to eat healthily and to think carefully about their groceries, but that they hardly buy snacks at the checkout and desire a healthy and affordable food offer. Repositioning nudges may not suit the circumstances and needs of lower SEP populations. Interventions must be tailored to lower SEP groups and integrated with system-level policies.
Not only what you see but where and when you see it: Factors influencing learning with visualizations
Authors: Menendez David
Published: August 2024

Visualizations can be seen throughout educational materials, such that their presence is almost ubiquitous. The assumption is that including visualizations in lessons will lead to greater learning. In this paper, I review the psychological and educational literature too examine how the presence of visualizations influences learning in STEM fields. In particular, I examine how the effectiveness of a visualization depends on characteristics of the visualization, learner and context. Characteristics of the visualization are important in so far as they highlight relevant information and reduce extraneous details. Learner characteristics influence how people learn with visualizations, but more work is needed in order to isolate these relations. And characteristics of the context are a critical but underexplored area in multimedia learning. Then, I propose some avenues for future work that focus on how to strengthen our understanding of which individual differences influence learning with visualizations, deepen our understanding of how the social context influences learning, and bride the research on instructor-provided and student-generated visualizations.
Bhutan's Three-Pronged Strategy, Stifled Democracy and Human Rights Concerns
Authors: Rizal Govinda
Published: August 2024

The assessment of human rights and social justice in Bhutan reveals numerous challenges. Developmental disparities are stark, with significant resources directed towards the western districts, home to the ruling elites. This exacerbates the development lag in the southern, eastern, and central districts. Tourism mainly benefits the western areas, concentrating the majority of tourists there and leaving limited opportunities for other regions. Gender inequality persists, with women underrepresented in political and leadership positions. Girls continue to face harassment in public, molestation in schools, and violence at home, without targeted political interventions. Ethnic minorities, religious groups, and residents of remote regions remain marginalized. Despite internal discontent and international pressure leading to a nominal political transition from an absolute monarchy to a democratic constitutional monarchy, the underlying power dynamics have not significantly shifted. There is a trend towards increased authoritarianism, surveillance, and opacity. Citizens advocating for democratic rights remain imprisoned for over three decades, despite the rulers' nominal embrace of democracy. While democratic institutions have been established, the monarchy wields more influence than before through the secret police (De-Suung), election interventions via the interim government, curtailing elected governments' autonomy, and preventing the introduction of ‘royal annuity bills’ in parliament to regulate the royal budget. This strategy has created a systematic authoritarian regime, cloaked as a constitutional monarchy for over sixteen years. Civil society organizations exist, but their leadership, often from the royal family, limits their effectiveness in addressing ordinary citizens' needs. These issues highlight profound governance, development, and gender equality challenges in Bhutan.
Deriving Rights from the Penumbra: Landmark Cases of the Supreme Court of Nepal
Authors: Sangroula Swechhya
Published: August 2024

This article explores how courts derive implicit rights from explicit ones through judicial interpretation. Constitutions enumerate fundamental rights and liberties, but the language of the law, as a social construct, can often be vague. Utilizing the conceptual framework of the penumbra from Griswold v. Connecticut and HLA Hart’s core and penumbra theory, this article delves into the methods of judicial reasoning employed to derive implicit rights. Starting with a general outline of the penumbra concept, the study applies it to landmark cases from Nepal, where courts have derived implicit rights, and juxtaposes these with cases where no such derivations were made. The focus is on the method of judicial reasoning rather than an appraisal of the case outcomes. The key argument is that judges justify the derived implicit rights as inherent to explicit guarantees, rather than taking credit as “norm entrepreneurs.” Judges support their reasoning by appealing to a broader constitutional vision, emphasizing the inherence of implicit rights arising from a confluence of multiple rights, and broadly deferring to an international normative regime. The conclusion highlights that subsequent constitutional developments often transform implicit rights into explicit ones, reflecting a logical and systematic judicial approach that enhances the protection and clarity of fundamental rights. This systematic approach underscores the dynamic nature of constitutional law, where implicit rights are not static but evolve into explicit rights, thus progressively broadening the scope of protected fundamental rights and ensuring their effective implementation within the legal framework.
Teachers’ Perceptions towards English Language Teaching Pedagogy in Secondary Schools of Nepal
Authors: Bhatt Bhakta Raj
Published: August 2024

Recently research on English language teaching pedagogy has been receiving increased attention throughout the world, with a primary focus on classroom teaching strategies. This qualitative research study aims to explore the narratives of English language teachers about the use of English language teaching pedagogy in secondary schools in Nepal. The participants purposively selected for this study were four English language teachers teaching at the secondary level in public schools of Kanchanpur district. The researcher used narrative inquiry as a research method in which interview protocols with open-ended questions were employed as research tools to obtain information. The findings of the study showed that secondary English teachers have been shifting their classroom pedagogy from traditional teacher-centred approaches to modern innovative student-centred approaches. The study further revealed that teachers keep the knowledge of both teacher-centred and student-centred methods and techniques but practise them in the classrooms in their ways due to the limitations of prescribed methods. The study also revealed students’ level of English as the main barrier to their learning progress. The implication of the study is that the teachers should create more learning opportunities and environments inside and outside the classroom to increase students’ maximum time engagement in English learning-based activities that provide them with more exposure to English and enhances their learning.
Reflecting on Online Learning Experiences of Secondary School Teachers and Students during COVID-19
Authors: Rayamajhi Shunil , Rana Karna
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the experiences of secondary-level students’ learning and teachers’ teaching strategies via Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal. The government formally announced the closure of physical classrooms to mitigate the outbreak of the coronavirus. This study utilised a qualitative interpretive research design and conducted online semi-structured interviews with the participants, observed their online classes and conducted documentary analysis. The findings of this study indicate that online learning in urban areas provided a flexible and alternative mode to physical classrooms. However, students and teachers faced challenges, such as irregular power supply, poor internet connection, expensive mobile data, lack of digital devices and limited ICT skills among teachers when it came to managing and delivering online classes. Additionally, the study highlights the inability of rural students to access online learning during lockdown. The efficacy of teachers in developing ICT and e-pedagogy skills played a crucial role in sustaining online learning. To ensure equal opportunities for quality education among students from marginalised and disadvantaged communities, it is recommended to equip schools, teachers, and students with the minimum ICT infrastructure and to provide subsidies on computers and internet access.
Customers’ Perception on Banking Communication
Authors: Rijal Rheet
Published: August 2024

This study explored customers’ perceptions of banking communication in “A” grade banks within Surkhet Valley, Nepal, aiming to fill a critical gap in understanding the dynamics of communication within the banking sector. Drawing upon existing literature and theoretical frameworks, the research investigated factors influencing customer awareness and satisfaction regarding banking communication. Through a quantitative approach involving 405 respondents, the study employed ordered logistic regression analysis to discern significant relationships between various demographic and experiential factors and banking communication awareness levels. Findings revealed that age, participation in common schemes, hassle with account updates, involvement with ASWA (Automated Settlement of Withdrawals and Advances), gender and work experience significantly impacted banking communication awareness levels among customers. Age, common scheme participation, hassle with account updates and ASWA involvement positively influence awareness and gender and work experience exhibited negative associations. These results underscored the importance of tailored communication strategies targeting diverse demographic groups to enhance overall banking communication effectiveness. The implications extend to managerial practices, suggesting the adoption of transparent and accessible communication channels, and policy recommendations aimed at promoting regulatory frameworks conducive to improved customer engagement. Furthermore, the study highlighted avenues for future research, including the exploration of cultural and regional influences on banking communication perceptions. By addressing the identified factors, banks can strengthen customer relationships, foster loyalty and enhance service quality, thereby contributing to the sustainable growth of the banking sector in Surkhet Valley.

Authors: Gautam Nischal , Nepal Umesh , Gharti Binod Babu , Pokhrel Gyan Prasad , Pokhrel Bharat Mani , Lamichhane Nirmal
Published: August 2024

Background: Incidental diagnosis of small renal masses are increasing now a days due to increased use of imaging by ultrasound or cross sectional investigations done for other reason or routine screening. This has led to evolution in management of small renal masses and changes in treatment modalities directed towards nephron sparing procedures. Partial nephrectomy has evolved from open, laparoscopic to Robotic-assisted procedures. There have been studies on laparoscopic partial nephrectomy but no studies have been done in our country and no comparison between open and laparoscopic approach.
Materials and Methods: Cases who underwent partial nephrectomy from January 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Altogether 46 patients underwent partial nephrectomy in open or laparoscopic surgery. The demographic data, pre-operative, per-operative and post-operative parameters were collected and tabulated. The early complications were defined as the complications that occurred during hospital stay or within 30 days of surgery. These were noted and classified according to Clavein-Dindo Classification. Data collected analyzed using SPSS 25 software.
Results: We observed an overall complication rate of 49% vs 56% in laparoscopic group vs open group; In contrary, 13% vs 4.3% patients experienced high grade complications. The mortality rate was 0%.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy had a steep learning curve. With maturity, the complications rates are not more than that of open surgery.
A Textbook Equity Student Advisory Board
Authors: Colby Karlee , Gruber Anne Marie
Published: August 2024

Engaging college students in advocacy related to open educational resources (OER) is an important way to raise awareness and encourage OER adoption on campuses in higher education. The student perspective is vital to encouraging instructors and administrators to be responsive to student needs, concerns, and preferences related to course materials access, and to consider affordability and usage rights. This case study describes the library-facilitated Textbook Equity Student Advisory Board at the University of Northern Iowa, a medium-sized regional comprehensive university. The board serves as a two-way communication outlet between textbook equity campus leaders and students, including student government. This article covers how and why the group was formed and the benefits and challenges of forming and running such a group. The group's scope, like the campus-wide program it informs, includes OER and related topics such as automatic textbook billing, library-licensed resources as course materials, and more. Recommendations for implementing similar groups are provided.
Systematization of Sharh al-Hikam by Sheykh Nawawi al-Bantani in Kitab Misbah al-Dzulam
Authors: Khasani Fahim , Amrullah Latif
Published: August 2024

This study examines the systematization of Al-Hikam aphorisms as presented in the Misbah Al-Dzulam, and explores Sheykh Nawawi Al-Bantani’s methodology for interpreting Al-Hikam. Utilizing a descriptive analysis method, the research focuses on the aphorisms of Al-Hikam. The sequence of Al-Hikam is a subject of two contrasting views. The first perspective suggests that despite an apparent randomness, the original sequence of Al-Hikam serves a specific purpose, with a spiritual secret underlying its arrangement. The second view argues that there is no lo­gical connection (irtibath mantiqi) between the initial and subsequent aphorisms. The systematic organization of these aphorisms facilitates to be studied. These divergent viewpoints have led to the creation of two models for studying Al-Hikam’s aphorisms: the tahlili model and the thematic model. The findings of this study reveal that the Misbah Al-Dzulam offers a systematic and categorized approach to Al-Hikam. This approach transforms the perceived randomness of Al-Hikam into a coherent and comprehensive structure, particularly when studied the­matically. The tahlili method further enhances the study by integrating language analysis with Sufistic interpretive approaches. This study sug­gests to include this book in the advanced learning curricula for santri or Ma’had Aly.

Ibn Khaldun's full name is Abdurrahman Zaid Waliuddin bin Khaldun, born in Tunisa on 1 Ramadan 732 H, coinciding with May 27, 1332 AD. Ibn Khaldun is the most prominent Muslim intellectual figure and most of his thoughts in various fields, such as economics, politics, sociology and culture. (1332-1406). Ibn Khaldun studied some of the problems and phenomena of life about society, history and the economy that had never been studied by scientists before. He explained all economic problems and connected them with verses in the Qur'an. This is proof that various economic activities have been regulated in Islam. In addition, his writings and works show that Ibn Khaldun is the father and economist who preceded Adam Smith, Ricardo and European economists.
Ethical Implications of AI in Criminal Justice: Balancing Efficiency and Due Process
Authors: Bharati Rahul Kailas
Published: August 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into criminal justice systems presents a complex landscape of opportunities and challenges. This research article critically examines the ethical implications of AI applications in various facets of criminal justice, from predictive policing to sentencing algorithms. While AI promises enhanced efficiency and data-driven decision-making, it simultaneously raises significant concerns about fairness, transparency, and the preservation of due process rights. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining legal analysis, ethical philosophy, and empirical research to evaluate the current state of AI in criminal justice and project future trajectories. We analyze case studies from multiple jurisdictions, highlighting both successful implementations and controversial failures of AI systems in law enforcement and judicial processes. Our findings reveal a tension between the pursuit of efficiency through AI and the fundamental principles of due process. We identify several key ethical challenges, including algorithmic bias, lack of transparency in decision-making processes, and the potential erosion of human judgment in critical legal determinations. The research also uncovers disparate impacts on marginalized communities, raising concerns about the exacerbation of existing inequalities within the justice system. To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive ethical framework for the development and deployment of AI in criminal justice. This framework emphasizes the need for continuous human oversight, regular audits of AI systems, and the establishment of clear accountability mechanisms. We argue for a balanced approach that leverages the benefits of AI while safeguarding individual rights and maintaining the integrity of judicial processes. The article concludes by outlining policy recommendations and best practices for lawmakers, judiciary, and law enforcement agencies. These recommendations aim to foster responsible innovation in criminal justice AI, ensuring that technological advancements align with ethical standards and constitutional protections. Our research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on AI ethics in the legal domain and provides a roadmap for the ethical integration of AI in criminal justice systems worldwide.
Women Laws: Shield or Sword with Special Reference to India
Authors: Jawed Salim
Published: August 2024

The condition of women deteriorated in the Indian society over the years subjecting them to a patriarchal mindset, cruelty and other forms of inhumane and unjust treatment. Taking this into mind the Legislature and the Judiciary took positive steps towards curbing this social evil by enacting various effective laws and laying down guidelines, observations and recommendations respectively. Various Women Centric Laws were enacted for the protection of women from various evils prevailing in the society. These evils included that of dowry, cruelty, domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, outraging the modesty of women, etc. These laws were set up as a shield to protect their respect and dignity against crime that is committed against them. However, in the recent years, the data shows that several cases that are filed by women against men pertaining to crime against women are false and are filed in a fit of anger, over trivial fights or in order to blackmail the men to gain some unfair advantage. This article discusses about various women laws along with the data showing the need of such laws. This article further discusses about misuse of such laws where the women are using these laws as a sword for their benefit and the observations and guidelines issued by the Supreme Court and High Court in this regard.

Transtorno do apetite depravado (Síndrome de Pica) em um felino
Authors: Santos Campos Mariana , Mendes de Oliveira Silva Ana Cássia , Farias Jackson , Darklei dos Santos Silva Naiane , Oliveira Brandão Tiago , Lima Carneiro Rodrigo
Published: August 2024

The psychological disorder of allotriophagy, also known as pica syndrome, can affect humans and animals. This eating disorder is characterized by chewing and ingesting objects without nutritional background, such as plastic, paper, fabrics, toys, wires, cables, among others. The present work aims to report the case of a feline affected by pica, having undergone exploratory laparotomy surgery to remove the foreign body. This behavior occurs more frequently in canines; however, it can occur in domestic cats, but in neither case is it considered a natural behavior and may be associated with clinical and behavioral causes. Although it is still little investigated by science, this behavioral disorder may be linked to nutritional deficiency, gastrointestinal problems, anxiety, stress, emotional dependence, separation anxiety, among others. Therefore, there is a need to diagnose pica syndrome in order to determine the ideal method of treatment.

This study examines the impact of Instagram Stimulus and Electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM) on visiting interest in Café Jolotundo Glamping & Edu Park using quantitative research methods. Data were collected through a survey with a Likert scale from 96 respondents who have visited or plan to visit the café. Results indicate no significant effect of Instagram Stimulus on visiting interest (Sig = 0.670, t = 0.427 < t-table 1.989). However, e-WOM significantly influences visiting interest (Sig = 0.000, t = 6.933 > t-table 1.989). The F test results (F = 58.530 > F-table 3.09, Sig = 0.000) show that Instagram Stimulus and e-WOM together affect visiting interest. The R Square value of 0.557 indicates that 55.7% of visiting interest is explained by these variables, while the remaining 45.2% is influenced by other factors not covered in this study.

Published: August 2024

Sustainability in business and development involves approaches that consider environmental, social, and economic impacts to ensure today's practices don't compromise future generations' resources. This concept is closely linked with ethical issues in graphic design, emphasizing social responsibility and the long-term effects of visual identities. Visual identity in graphic design encompasses all design elements that uniquely express an identity, differentiating it from others. Graphic design is not merely about aesthetics but also functionality and identity, which are influenced by technological advances and design applications like Canva. This article examines the use of Canva for rapid graphic design and its impact on visual identity within the industry, based on fundamental design principles. The study employs qualitative descriptive methods, including surveys and interviews with Communication Science students at AMIKOM Yogyakarta University, to explore if Canva can create distinctive visual identities. Despite Canva's wide range of templates, its users often experience limitations in creativity, resulting in designs that may lack uniqueness and are perceived as generic.
