Authors: GATEJ Emil Răzvan ,   “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” Police Academy Bucharest, Romania
Published: August 2024

In examining the imperative role of resilience in military contexts, the focus of this research delves into the integration of robust financial management strategies and advanced communication technologies to bolster the adaptive capacity of military personnel during crisis situations. Drawing insights from the study on financial management strategies in insurance companies (Rasshyvalov, 2024), the research aims to extrapolate the applicability of risk identification, mitigation, and contingency planning in enhancing military resilience. Moreover, the comparison of communication technologies in flood risk assessment (Jasmeet Singh et al., 2024) provides a compelling framework for assessing the performance and cost-effectiveness of IoT-enabled systems in augmenting early warning mechanisms for military units. By synthesizing these perspectives, the research endeavors to construct a comprehensive thesis elucidating the multifaceted approach required to fortify military resilience, ultimately facilitating better decision-making, heightened endurance, and improved operational outcomes in adversarial environments.

Authors: ARAMĂ Cornel ,   “Henri Coandă” Air Force Academy, Braşov, Romania
Published: August 2024

The increasingly urgent need to align the Romanian military logistics to the modern requirements of the hybrid war, asymmetrical conflicts, NCW (Network Centric Warfare) etc. and the innovative realities of today's battlefields (see the Ukrainian conflict) requires a maximum efficiency of the use of military technical systems. Accordingly, it is necessary to increase their viability level. But, this concept has not been established itself in the general terminology of the military science domain. It is still under study although it appeared almost fifty years ago, being proposed since the 70s of the last century and forcefully brought back into discussion at the beginning of the 2000s. Taking into account the latest researches in the field, which demonstrated the existence, but also the necessity to insert new factors and sub-factors of viability, an updating of the proposed initial formula is required in order to estimate the mutual influence of viability factors/sub-factors. This article aims to demonstrate the implications of inserting a new factor into the viability matrix: the availability of military technical systems.

This study examines the characteristics of Crimmigration law in Indonesia and the use of the concept of law enforcement towards illegal foreign labor. This research is doctrinal research using inductive-deductive logic using library materials. The data was then analyzed using qualitative methods. The results showed that First, the characteristics of Crimmigration Law in Indonesia, can be seen from the selective policy used to select the foreigners who will enter into Indonesian Authority and the penal sanction which rooted in the Immigration regulations and Indonesian Law. The end of law enforcement toward the defendant is imprisonment and deportation. Second, the implementation of the Crimmigration law toward illegal foreign workers in Indonesia only uses immigration regulation without regard to labor regulations. Third, the enforcement-only focuses on residential permit abuse and sentencing for minimum punishment, not the working permit or doing an illegal activity such as illegal labor. Hence, critics emerge to urge the legal review of the related regulation with Crimmigration to achieve the main purpose of the law itself, law must be the first indicator to control people’s behavior as an Allien in foreign and the possible offenses threats can be reduced significantly.

When Pinocchio, the wooden doll created by Gepetto, becomes aware of the good and the bad, he illustrates, as a metaphor, a transformation from non-human to human. Entering the world of the human and technology can be equally fascinating, finding someone to talk to motivates the search, even more so when the talk is with a professional who has the knowledge and clarity to break into a complex analysis. That studious interlocutor is Dr. José Alberto Sánchez Martínez, Professor-Researcher of the Department of Social Relations of the Division of Sciences and Humanities of the UAM-Xochimilco, member of the National System of Researchers, level II. He is also Professor with PRODEP profile and Coordinator of the Doctorate in Humanities at UAM-Xochimilco.
His academic history leads us to recognize his valuable contributions in various publications related to the subject of digital culture, virtuality and visual processes, including currently working on the issue of digital culture focused on the field of art and sociology of art. Texts such as Aesthetics of visual interaction and Virality. Aesthetics and politics of digital images, both from 2019. Figures of Presence. Cuerpo e identidad en los mundos virtuales, from 2013 and Redes sociodigitales en México from 2015; all his works show the epistemological baggage he has, to capture an insightful look at a plurality of plots associated with virtuality and socio-humanistic processes, the sociology of digital art, bodies, identities and cyberculture, but specifically to the evolution and impact that capitalism has on humanity today through digital culture.
José Alberto Sánchez, an academic committed to research, stubbornly navigates in a cosmos of virtual bodies analyzing the avatar image as a representation of the subject in cyberculture; he also immerses himself in the horizons of informal education.

Authors: Maskoen Ani Melani , Rahayu Nurul Setia , Nasroen Saskia Lenggogeni
Published: August 2024

Background: Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital anomaly found in Indonesia. CL/P is caused by hereditary (genetic) and environmental factors. Environmental factors can result in methylation in the promoter of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, affecting its expression. Methylation takes place at the CpG site found at chromosome 1, coordinates 11,805,406–11,806,509. Pyrosequencing technology can detect the percentage methylation of a gene quickly, simply, and accurately. Purpose: The aim of the study is to optimize detection of methylation of the MTHFR gene using the pyrosequencing method. Methods: Methods used in this study were DNA extraction from blood, DNA bisulfite conversion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and methylation detection using CpG pyrosequencing assay. Samples were taken from 20 CL/P patients (C) and 44 normal patients (N). Results: The pyrosequencing method was successful in detecting methylation at three MTHFR gene sites at coordinates 11,805,507–11,805,529. The methylation level at the third site was higher in group C than in group N, while at the first and second positions, group C had a lower methylation level than group N. In general, the percentage of methylation for both groups was low or hypomethylated (less than 5%). Conclusion: The pyrosequencing method can be used to determine methylation levels in the MTHFR gene with the results presented as percentages (quantitative data). Hypomethylation occurs in groups C and N at the coordinates 11,805,507–11,805,529 of the MTHFR gene promoter.

Mangunwijaya, namely Burung-Burung Manyar that represent historical events of the struggle of the Indonesian (Year 1945-1949) in a different color from historical texts in general. Therefore, this study aims to describe in depth the objective reality of the nation's struggle during the national revolution in the novel Burung-Burung Manyar by Y.B. Mangunwijaya. The research method used is qualitative interpretive with parallel reading between literary texts at events which represent the historical representation of the nation's struggle. Data collection techniques with documentation with the main instrument is the researcher assisted by tabulation of objective reality data in the novel Burung-Burung Manyar by Y.B. Mangunwijaya. Data analysis techniques begin with data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the objective reality studied was historical facts originating from artifacts or in the form of objects, relics and places, then social life, mental conditions, and ecology. Furthermore, the events, places and characters contained in the novel are imaginative, but in them there are hidden facts.

Case:

Three cases of inflammatory joint diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus and ongoing juvenile idiopathic arthritis) with painful flexible progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD) underwent flatfoot surgery. All cases maintained sufficient radiological correction and achieved good clinical condition at final follow-up.

Conclusion:

Although the prospect for recurrence of the deformity is not clear, even in inflammatory joint diseases, flat foot surgery such as flexor digitorum longs transfer, spring ligament reconstruction, and lateral column lengthening could have a possibility to be indicated against PCFD, as long as disease activity could be well suppressed by drug therapy, subsequently subtalar and talonavicular joints could be preserved.

Los programas de alumnado ayudante son una iniciativa relevante para la mejora de la convivencia que cuenta con respaldo institucional y que habitualmente se incluye en el plan de convivencia del centro educativo. Este trabajo presenta una revisión sistematizada sobre programas de alumnado ayudante desarrollados en España con el objetivo de ofrecer una visión global de sus beneficios y limitaciones. La investigación se realizó en base a la declaración PRISMA y el protocolo SALSA. Las búsquedas se realizaron en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus y en el portal bibliográfico Dialnet. Se buscaron artículos publicados en revistas científicas y que investigasen programas de alumnado ayudante desarrollados en, al menos, un centro de educación primaria y/o secundaria español. Se identificaron 84 registros, cumpliendo ocho los criterios de elegibilidad. Tras revisar las referencias de dichos artículos, se encontraron tres adicionales que cumplieron los criterios, conformando un banco de documentos de once artículos. Los resultados mostraron, por un lado, una escasez de investigaciones en esta línea y, por otro lado, los participantes reportaron una valoración positiva del programa, considerando que contribuye a mejorar la convivencia, desarrollar habilidades sociales, favorecer la inclusión y promover el rechazo al acoso. Asimismo, se identificaron disfuncionalidades en el proceso de selección del alumnado ayudante y problemas de coordinación. Todo ello sugiere la conveniencia de ampliar el número de investigaciones y su ámbito geográfico, reforzar la coordinación y poner énfasis en la mejora de los mecanismos de supervisión del programa desde la perspectiva de la investigación-acción.

Algunas reflexiones y propuestas de mejora sobre la problemática de los inicios de la carrera universitaria
Authors: López Navío Ana
Published: August 2024

La carrera universitaria es un largo camino lleno de obstáculos, pero éstos se magnifican especialmente en el comienzo. Los profesores universitarios que están comenzando su carrera académica a menudo se enfrentan a una serie de desafíos particulares tales como la falta de experiencia o formación docente, la precariedad, la presión y dificultad a la hora de publicar e investigar, sobrecarga de trabajo o inseguridad laboral entre otros muchos. Para superar estos desafíos, es crucial que los profesores noveles reciban apoyo institucional, reciban algún tipo de formación para las labores que van a ejercer, tengan acceso a oportunidades de desarrollo profesional y cuenten con un entorno de trabajo que fomente la adaptación y el crecimiento. El presente trabajo pretende ahondar de forma más profunda en toda esta problemática a la que se enfrentan los jóvenes que quieren dedicarse a la carrera universitaria, así como arrojar algo de luz sobre las posibles soluciones o mejoras que podrían realizarse.
