Published: November 2023

Hydrogen sulfide, a colorless, flammable gas with a distinct rotten egg odor, poses severe health risks in industrial settings. Sensing hydrogen sulfide is crucial for safeguarding worker safety and preventing potential accidents. This study investigated the gas-sensing performance of an electroactive polymer (i.e., polyaniline, PANI) and its composites with active carbon (AC) (i.e., PANI-AC1 and PANI-AC3) toward H2S at room temperature. PANI-AC composites-coated IDE gas sensors were fabricated and their capability of detecting H2S at concentrations ranging from 1 ppm to 30 ppm was tested. The superior gas-sensing performance of the PANI-AC composites can be attributed to the increased surface area of the materials, which provided increased active sites for doping processes and enhanced the sensing capability of the composites. Specifically, the incorporation of AC in the PANI matrix resulted in a substantial improvement in the doping process, which led to stronger gas-sensing responses with higher repeatability and higher stability toward H2S compared to the neat PANI-coated IDE sensor. Furthermore, the as-prepared IDE gas sensor exhibited the best sensing response toward H2S at 60% RH. The use of agricultural-waste coconut husk for the synthesis of these high-performance gas-sensing materials promotes sustainable and eco-friendly practices while improving the detection and monitoring of H2S gas in industrial settings.

Published: November 2023

Optical remote sensing using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is proposed to monitor changes in marine environments effectively. Optical measurements were performed using a UAV multispectral camera (RedEdge, five spectral wavelengths of 475, 560, 668, 717, and 842 nm) with high spatial (5 cm) and temporal (1 s) resolutions to monitor the rapidly changing suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Saemangeum coastal area on the western coast of Korea. To develop the SSC algorithm, optical field, and water sample measurements were obtained from outside (11 stations) and inside (three stations) regions separated by a seawall, accounting for 100 measurements from 2018 to 2020. Accordingly, the remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) was estimated at each sampling station and used to develop the SSC algorithm based on multiple linear regression. The algorithm reasonably estimated the SSC with an R2 and root mean square error of 0.83 and 4.27 (mg L−1), respectively. Continuous individual UAV measurements over the coastal area of Saemangeum were combined to generate a wider SSC map. For the UAV observational data, the atmospheric influence at each altitude was reduced to the surface altitude level using a relative atmospheric correction technique. The SSC map enabled front monitoring of SSC fluctuations caused by discharge water due to the sluice gate opening. These results demonstrated the usability of the UAV-based SSC algorithm and confirmed the possibility of monitoring rapid SSC fluctuations.
Filtering in Triplet Markov Chain Model in the Presence of Non-Gaussian Noise with Application to Target Tracking

Published: November 2023

In hidden Markov chain (HMC) models, widely used for target tracking, the process noise and measurement noise are in general assumed to be independent and Gaussian for mathematical simplicity. However, the independence and Gaussian assumptions do not always hold in practice. For instance, in a typical radar tracking application, the measurement noise is correlated over time as the sampling frequency of a radar is generally much higher than the bandwidth of the measurement noise. In addition, target maneuvers and measurement outliers imply that the process noise and measurement noise are non-Gaussian. To solve this problem, we resort to triplet Markov chain (TMC) models to describe stochastic systems with correlated noise and derive a new filter under the maximum correntropy criterion to deal with non-Gaussian noise. By stacking the state vector, measurement vector, and auxiliary vector into a triplet state vector, the TMC model can capture the complete dynamics of stochastic systems, which may be subjected to potential parameter uncertainty, non-stationarity, or error sources. Correntropy is used to measure the similarity of two random variables; unlike the commonly used minimum mean square error criterion, which uses only second-order statistics, correntropy uses second-order and higher-order information, and is more suitable for systems in the presence of non-Gaussian noise, particularly some heavy-tailed noise disturbances. Furthermore, to reduce the influence of round-off errors, a square-root implementation of the new filter is provided using QR decomposition. Instead of the full covariance matrices, corresponding Cholesky factors are recursively calculated in the square-root filtering algorithm. This is more numerically stable for ill-conditioned problems compared to the conventional filter. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is illustrated via three numerical examples.

Monitoring of the water level and river discharge is an important task, necessary both for assessment of water supply in the current season and for forecasting water consumption and possible prevention of catastrophic events. A network of ground hydrometric stations is used to measure the water level and consumption in rivers. Rivers located in sparsely populated areas in developing countries of Central Asia have a very limited hydrometric network. In addition to the sparse network of stations, in some cases remote probing data (virtual hydrometric stations) are used, which can improve the reliability of water level and discharge estimates, especially for large mountain rivers with large volumes of suspended sediment load and significant channel instability. The aim of this study is to develop a machine learning model for remote monitoring of water levels in the large transboundary (Kazakhstan-People’s Republic of China) Ili River. The optical data from the Sentinel-2 satellite are used as input data. The in situ (ground-based) data collected at the Ili-Dobyn gauging station are used as target values. Application of feature engineering and ensemble machine learning techniques has achieved good accuracy of water level estimation (Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) >0.8). The coefficient of determination of the model results obtained using cross-validation of random permutations is NSE = 0.89. The method demonstrates good stability under different variations of input data and ranges of water levels (NSE > 0.8). The average absolute error of the method ranges from 0.12 to 0.18 meters against the background of the maximum river water level spread of more than 4 meters. The obtained result is the best current result of water level prediction in the Ili River using the remote probing data and can be recommended for practical use for increasing the reliability of water level estimation and reverse engineering of data in the process of river discharge monitoring.
Satellite-Derived Lagrangian Transport Pathways in the Labrador Sea
Authors: Castelao Renato M. , Oliver Hilde , Medeiros Patricia M.
Published: November 2023

The offshore transport of Greenland coastal waters influenced by freshwater input from ice sheet melting during summer plays an important role in ocean circulation and biological processes in the Labrador Sea. Many previous studies over the last decade have investigated shelfbreak transport processes in the region, primarily using ocean model simulations. Here, we use 27 years of surface geostrophic velocity observations from satellite altimetry, modified to include Ekman dynamics based on atmospheric reanalysis, and virtual particle releases to investigate seasonal and interannual variability in transport of coastal water in the Labrador Sea. Two sets of tracking experiments were pursued, one using geostrophic velocities only, and another using total velocities including the wind effect. Our analysis revealed substantial seasonal variability, even when only geostrophic velocities were considered. Water from coastal southwest Greenland is generally transported northward into Baffin Bay, although westward transport off the west Greenland shelf increases in fall and winter due to winds. Westward offshore transport is increased for water from southeast Greenland so that, in some years, water originating near the east Greenland coast during summer can be transported into the central Labrador Sea and the convection region. When wind forcing is considered, long-term trends suggest decreasing transport of Greenland coastal water during the melting season toward Baffin Bay, and increasing transport into the interior of the Labrador Sea for water originating from southeast Greenland during summer, where it could potentially influence water column stability. Future studies using higher-resolution velocity observations are needed to capture the role of submesoscale variability in transport pathways in the Labrador Sea.
The Vitality of the Binary Gender Norm: The Entanglements of Wine Production, Biosociocultural Indicators, Reggaeton, Masculinities, Normality in Schools, and Water Management
Authors: Matus Claudia
Published: November 2023

This article presents the binary gender norm (BGN) as an active and lively concept. To show how gender happens and manifests more as an entanglement than as individual cases in particular communities or locations, the study examines this operation in the context of six apparently unrelated case studies produced simultaneously between 2019 and 2021. Addressing the topics of wine production, biosociocultural indicators, reggaeton, masculinities, normality in schools, and water management, these case studies help show how the binary gender norm maintains itself in invisible ways and responds to any methodological practice employed. How does gender persist as an implacable force that produces stigmatized differences among humans, and why does it seem normal? How is it that, despite all the sophisticated theories and research practices, the binary gender norm finds a way to become gender again? The binary gender norm is familiar but illogical; it is also mutable, sympathetic, and playful. Situated in post-humanist thinking, this article presents a theoretical and methodological discussion on how the binary gender norm shapes itself to continue framing lives.
Spatial–Temporal Evolution of Coupling Coordination Development between Regional Highway Transportation and New Urbanization: A Case Study of Heilongjiang, China
Authors: Wu Biao , Jin Xinzhu , Li Dan , Wang Baojie
Published: November 2023

The coupling coordination relationship between regional highway transportation and new urbanization is an increasingly important issue in the field of regional sustainable development. This paper aims to establish an index system and develop an integrated method to measure the coupling coordination between regional highway transportation and new urbanization. The evaluation index system comprised two hierarchies, six aspects and 19 indexes, which were weighted by the entropy weight method (EWM). Furthermore, a coupling degree model (CDM) and a coupling coordination degree model (CCDM) were established based on the statistical data from 2011 to 2017 in Heilongjiang Province, China. The ArcGIS spatial analysis method was utilized to analyze the spatial–temporal coupling evolution characteristics of the two subsystems. The findings revealed that the development level of the two subsystems showed an upward tendency. The coupling degree between the two subsystems was leaping from antagonistic stage to breaking-in period. The coupling coordination degree between the two subsystems was the transition stage from imbalance to coordination. Specifically, the spatial differentiation characteristics of the coupling coordination development between the two subsystems were prominent in Heilongjiang Province, China. The results showed that the approach combining CCDM with ArcGIS spatial analysis can be applied as an effective method to explore the spatial–temporal evolution of coupling coordination development.

Published: November 2023

Heavy metal pollution has been a problem of concern in soil ecology in recent decades. This study investigated the spatial distribution of heavy metals and their pollution levels in the soil of Xinjiang, based on the data of heavy metals published in the literature in the past five years, by using a geostatistical method, pollution index method, and geographic information system (GIS)-based spatial analysis. Additionally, the effects of five economic development indicators, such as population and industrial activities on the accumulation of heavy metals in soil, were explored by correlation analysis. The results showed that the average contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the soils were 2.858, 1.062, 1.194, 1.159, 1.192, and 1.086 times higher than the background values in Xinjiang, respectively. The semi-variance functions indicated that the Cd and Pb block gold coefficients of soils were greater than 25% and less than 50%, with an obvious spatial correlation. The spatial patterns showed that the high values of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were mainly distributed in Karamay, Changji, Tacheng, and Kashi areas, with an overall decreasing trend from north to south, and the pollution index showed that the pollution of heavy metal Cd in soil was the most serious. Furthermore, Karamay, Changji, and Kashi areas were at heavy pollution levels. Correlation analysis showed that heavy metal Pb in the soil was significantly positively correlated with the agricultural GDP in Xinjiang, while Cd was correlated significantly and positively with comprehensive energy consumption and more significantly with industrial GDP. Thus, this study could provide a scientific basis for local evaluation of soil environmental quality and prevention and control of soil heavy metal pollution, which is of great significance for understanding the impact of human activities.

Published: November 2023

The emergence of sustainable development gives greenery an important role in urban planning, namely, by recognizing its environmental potential. However, the rapid urbanization that most cities have experienced in the absence of a sustainable urban policy has led to the establishment of urban realms dominated by manmade constructions. This research aims to evaluate the greening’s effect on the urban climate within the semi-arid city of Djelfa (Algeria) during summertime by assigning the most appropriate greenery strategy to ensure optimal thermal conditions. Using a numerical model built with the ENVI-met tool and validated through measurements in situ, four different scenarios are simulated, starting with the existing area and then changing the greenery strategies. The outputs include meteorological parameters and thermal comfort indices (PET and UTCI). The results show that the green area generates a cool island within the urban fabric, with the peak daytime air temperature being reduced by about 4.75 °C. Vegetation densification in the urban space has a higher cooling performance than greening buildings during the daytime. In the evening, the canopy effect of trees is lower and the wind velocity is reduced, which is the main driver in cooling the city at nighttime.
An Assessment of the Mobility of Toxic Elements in Coal Fly Ash Using the Featured BPNN Model
Authors: Zhang Jinrui , Li Chuanqi , Zhang Tingting
Published: November 2023

This study aims to propose a novel backpropagation neural network (BPNN) featured with sequential forward selection (SFS), named the BPNN_s model, to master the leaching characteristics of toxic elements (TEs) in coal fly ash (CFA). A total of 400 datasets and 54 features are involved to predict the fractions of TEs. The determination coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and variance accounted for (VAF) and Willmott’s index (WI) are used to validate the BPNN_s, and its predictive performance is compared with the other three models, including the unified BPNN (BPNN_u), the adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) and the random forest (RF) models. The results indicate that the BPNN_s outperforms others in predicting the fractions of TEs, and feature selection is an imperative step for developing a model. Moreover, the features selected with SFS suggest that the influence of the element properties is more significant than that of the chemical properties as well as the concentration on predicting the fractions of TEs. Atomic weight is found to be the most critical feature in the prediction through a shapely additive explanations (SHAP) analysis. This study helps to assess the TEs’ mobility rapidly and accurately and provides a foundation for obtaining insights into the relationship between the features and the fractions of TEs.

Authors: Scheiber Sarah , Bajada Thérèse , Mifsud Wendy Jo , C. Montebello Steve
Published: November 2023

With ever-increasing interest in the Timed City concept and active mobility-related initiatives that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, several cities in the developed Western world have engaged in projects to move towards sustainable mobility. Malta is a car-dependent small Island State with the highest population density in the European Union. Its transport planning policy, leading to ever-increasing car dependency, is having serious detrimental impacts on environmental, social and economic aspects. The archipelago’s urban environment and demographics provide an ideal context for studying the Timed City concept. This research therefore tests the applicability of the Timed City concept to the Maltese context. A mixed method case study methodology is adopted using GIS and PGIS. Paola, a dense urban locality in Malta of over 9000 inhabitants and spanning 2.5 km2, was chosen. Relevant datasets are mapped out in GIS using ArcGIS Desktop 10.8. Qualitative research to gauge the user perspective using PGIS is ongoing. This paper presents the spatial analysis of the quantitative GIS data and discusses the findings in relation to the current literature. Ultimately, the data indicate undiscovered potential for the Timed City concept to be successfully adapted to such urban contexts, while identifying specific areas requiring improvement and concluding with suggestions for policy intervention and future research.

Published: November 2023

This article presents an annual performance evaluation of single- and double-air-channel solar chimneys for natural ventilation induction under weather conditions in Mexico. The global energy balance method modeled both types of solar chimneys in an unsteady state. The case study evaluated five cities in Mexico. Experimental data of a single-air-channel chimney prototype evaluated under controlled conditions were used to validate the GEB numerical solution. Model validation considers climatic parameters to increase the accuracy of ventilation calculations, e.g., solar radiation, ambient temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Experimental evaluation was performed considering the warmest and coldest days in each month of 2018. The modeling time to achieve the initial condition independence for each configuration was 72 h of the physical phenomenon. Results show that double-air-channel solar chimney tested configurations induced at least 70% more airflow than single-air-channel solar chimneys. Both solar chimney airflows were higher than the dwelling-unit ventilation for a space of 54 m3, and volumetric flows up to 120 m3h−1 were identified for two studied cities.
Covariant Cubic Interacting Vertices for Massless and Massive Integer Higher Spin Fields
Authors: Buchbinder I. , Reshetnyak A.
Published: November 2023

We develop the BRST approach to construct the general off-shell local Lorentz covariant cubic interaction vertices for irreducible massless and massive higher spin fields on d-dimensional Minkowski space. We consider two different cases for interacting higher spin fields: with one massive and two massless; two massive, both with coinciding and with different masses and one massless field of spins s1,s2,s3. Unlike the previous results on cubic vertices we extend our earlier result in (Buchbinder, I.L.; et al. Phys. Lett. B 2021, 820, 136470) for massless fields and employ the complete BRST operator, including the trace constraints, which is used to formulate an irreducible representation with definite integer spin. We generalize the cubic vertices proposed for reducible higher spin fields in (Metsaev, R.R. Phys. Lett. B 2013, 720, 237) in the form of multiplicative and non-multiplicative BRST-closed constituents and calculate the new contributions to the vertex, which contains the additional terms with a smaller number of space-time derivatives. We prove that without traceless conditions for the cubic vertices in (Metsaev, R.R. Phys. Lett. B 2013, 720, 237) it is impossible to provide the noncontradictory Lagrangian dynamics and find explicit traceless solution for these vertices. As the examples, we explicitly construct the interacting Lagrangians for the massive spin of the s field and the massless scalars, both with and without auxiliary fields. The interacting models with different combinations of triples higher spin fields: massive spin s with massless scalar and vector fields and with two vector fields; massless helicity λ with massless scalar and massive vector fields; two massive fields of spins s, 0 and massless scalar is also considered.

Systematic Review of Equine Influenza A Virus Vaccine Studies and Meta-Analysis of Vaccine Efficacy
Authors: Elliott Sol , Olufemi Olaolu T. , Daly Janet M.
Published: November 2023

Vaccines against equine influenza have been available since the late 1960s, but outbreaks continue to occur periodically, affecting both vaccinated and unvaccinated animals. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the efficacy of vaccines against influenza A virus in horses (equine IAV). For this, PubMed, CAB abstracts, and Web of Science were searched for controlled trials of equine IAV vaccines published up to December 2020. Forty-three articles reporting equine IAV vaccination and challenge studies in previously naïve equids using an appropriate comparison group were included in a qualitative analysis of vaccine efficacy. A value for vaccine efficacy (VE) was calculated as the percentage reduction in nasopharyngeal virus shedding detected by virus isolation in embryonated hens’ eggs from 38 articles. Among 21 studies involving commercial vaccines, the mean VE was 50.03% (95% CI: 23.35–76.71%), ranging from 0 to 100%. Among 17 studies reporting the use of experimental vaccines, the mean VE was 40.37% (95% CI: 19.64–62.44), and the range was again 0–100%. Overall, complete protection from virus shedding was achieved in five studies. In conclusion, although commercially available vaccines can, in some circumstances, offer complete protection from infection, the requirement for frequent vaccination in the field to limit virus shedding and hence transmission is apparent. Although most studies were conducted by a few centres, a lack of consistent study design made comparisons difficult.
An Objective Evaluation Approach for Safety-Relevant Steering Feedback on a Test Bench
Authors: Haas Alexander , Menze Gregor , Sieberg Philipp Maximilian , Schramm Dieter
Published: November 2023

Since electric power steering has replaced hydraulic power steering in passenger cars, steering feedback has become a challenging task in steering system development. Test benches represent a valid approach for improving steering feedback since they allow investigations without the real vehicle. To improve the applicability of feedback evaluations on a steering test bench, this paper aims to identify improvements in the current evaluation technique to obtain objective parameters that correlate with a subjective evaluation of safety-relevant steering feedback. Therefore, a previously reported approach of a chirp rack force excitation, using the magnitude of the transfer function from the rack force to steering wheel torque to describe steering feedback, is compared to a similar identification approach in which a pseudo-random-binary-sequence signal is utilized. To reflect realistic applications, driving maneuvers are transferred to the test bench to identify relevant objective data. For a valid representation of the steering wheel operation, a human grip model is implemented and compared to a fixed steering wheel angle control. It is shown that the random signal represents a valid and, on average, improved approach to objectively evaluating the steering feedback. Furthermore, a recommendation can be made to include the human grip model in the feedback evaluation tests, as the identified correlation results are improved by its inclusion. The identified parameters and methods represent an improvement for future steering feedback development.

Authors: Li Dian , Peng Zhenyang , Liu Guoqiang , Wei Chenyu
Published: November 2023

On the edges of rivers where the flow velocity is low, aquatic plants flourish, with emergent rigid herbs being the most common. Since the flow structures of vegetated flow are strongly influenced by vegetation distribution patterns, homogeneous and heterogeneous canopies are defined based on the characteristics of vegetation distribution. A review summarizing recent advances in flow structures under the influence of different types of canopy arrangements, including ribbon-like homogeneous canopies, ribbon-like heterogeneous canopies, and patched heterogeneous canopies, is needed. Their flow development process, shear layer properties, coherent structure features, and momentum exchange characteristics are summarized, and a future research agenda for an in-depth understanding of the interactions between vegetation and flow is also highlighted.

Обсуждена проблема коморбидности психических и поведенческих расстройств с точки зрения «двойного диагноза», когда проблемное употребление психоактивных веществ сосуществует с психическим расстройством. Сделан акцент на нейробиологических закономерностях, лежащих в основе взаимообусловленности тяжелых психических расстройств (шизофрения и биполярное аффективное расстройство) и проблемного употребления алкоголя. Представлены доказательства новизны использования парциального агониста дофаминовых рецепторов карипразина для влияния на ключевые биологические механизмы психотических расстройств (аффективные, когнитивные, продуктивные симптомы) и зависимости от психоактивных веществ.

The problem of comorbidity of mental and behavioral disorders is discussed from the point of view of a dual diagnosis, when problematic substance use coexists with a mental disorder. Emphasis is placed on the neurobiological patterns underlying the interdependence of severe mental disorders (schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder) and problematic alcohol use. Evidence of the novelty of using the partial dopamine agonist cariprazine to influence the key biological mechanisms of psychotic disorders (affective, cognitive, productive symptoms) and substance dependence is presented.
El mejoramiento barrial como saber transnacional. Del CINVA al Programa Rosario Hábitat
Authors: Brizuela Florencia
Published: November 2023

El artículo sistematiza los hallazgos de una investigación sobre los programas de mejoramiento de barrios desarrollada a partir de enfoques centrados en la formación de saberes expertos y en la circulación transnacional de saberes, ideas y conocimientos. Desde estas perspectivas, se propuso dos objetivos: por un lado, analizar los discursos de verdad que configuraron al mejoramiento como un saber experto y, por el otro, describir el modo en que este saber se formó y reconfiguró en el viaje entre fronteras nacionales y a lo largo del tiempo. Para concretar estos objetivos se tomó como caso de estudio el Programa Rosario Hábitat implementado en Rosario, Argentina. La hipótesis que orientó el análisis sostuvo que este programa recuperó una serie de discursos de verdad y técnicas de expertise que se formaron en el Centro Interamericano de Vivienda y Planeamiento (CINVA) en la década de 1950 en Colombia. Con esta hipótesis el trabajo buscó profundizar las conclusiones de investigaciones previas que afirmaron que el CINVA promovió formas de problematizar e intervenir la cuestión habitacional que aún enmarcan los programas de asistencia técnica en vivienda social.

Travel intelligence as a tool for counterintelligence and border security
Authors: Kanellopoulos Anastasios-Nikolaos
Published: November 2023

Counterintelligence and border security are two cornerstones of national security protection processes. They utilise intelligence sources and procedures extensively to assist in decision-making regarding countermeasures against high-degree threats and risks. Both employ intelligence cycle activities and risk analysis models to combine information coming from the operational environment. At the same time, travel intelligence (TRAVINT) consists of the intelligence product arising from the collection and analysis of a wide range of travel companies and data and information from governments. In the modern and increasingly globalised security environment, TRAVINT products constitute growing trend for protecting state border, intelligence, and internal security. The paper aims to explore the potential of leveraging TRAVINT for enhancing counterintelligence efforts and bolstering border security measures. The research methodology combines empirical analysis with a comprehensive review of the US and EU public documents and academic papers. This study is necessary, as it is essential to examine the worthiness of TRAVINT as an emerging intelligence sector. TRAVINT appears to be an extremely important data, information, and intelligence source offering the required material input to law, security, and intelligence enforcement agencies for analysis. TRAVINT and its parts, such as passenger name records (PNR) data, are used in compliance with state legislation in respect of human rights and in accordance with the needs of Intelligence networks, where excessive threats to internal and border security are implied.

The majority of research concerning science communication happens in spaces where people already have a vested interest in or knowledge of science, such as museums and science cafes. Thus, there is a gap in understanding what theory-based science communication looks like in non-science-centered spaces. This qualitative research study, which featured cosplaying science communicators at comic conventions, offers insights into what science communication practices occur within everyday spaces. We conducted observations of and semi-structured interviews with 15 cosplaying scientists, examining how they utilized effective framing and narrative structuring when communicating science at comic cons in cosplay. Across 700 coded utterances, cosplaying scientists most often used effectively framed messaging which allowed for visitors to unite their interests with STEM topics. Alternatively, we rarely witnessed cosplaying scientists using messaging that assuaged or addressed politically polarized scientific topics, such as climate change. While not originally within the scope of data analysis, we also noted that cosplaying scientists indicated that varied aspects of their identities, such as their gender and ethnic backgrounds helped or hindered their science communication practices at comic conventions. Our research provides evidence how science communication changes when it occurs in everyday spaces and indicates avenues for future study in these spaces.
Amicus Curiae: Position and Role in Issuing Decisions by Judges as an Effort to Achieve Substantive Justice
Authors: Kholiq Abdul
Published: November 2023

In practice of criminal justice system, a judge plays a fundamental role in making decision that will be imposed on the defendant. The Law on Judicial Power requires judges to widely disclose information and opinions from various groups and public participation. Amicus curiae concept is a mechanism that permits third parties who believe they are interested in a particular criminal case. However, the existence of amicus curiae in positive law has not been regulated explicitly or formally to explain how it is applied in criminal justice. While the judge plays a part in delivering a verdict on the defendant, it is anticipated to be founded on legal principles and a commitment of substantive public justice. This study employs a normative juridical research approach, utilizing secondary data acquired through library research and analyzed using qualitative methods and presented in a descriptive and explanatory format. The findings of this investigation that the position of amicus curiae can be known as stipulated in Article 5, paragraph (1) of the Judicial Power Act. In the application of the judge's decision to realize substantive justice, the judge does not only see a settlement in terms of formal law as a form of legal certainty, but the judge must also be able to see aspects of a sense of substantive justice by the expectations of the community as a seeker of justice.
