Authors: Lailatul Nur Sa’adah  , Ani Qur Anita  , Sumriyah Sumriyah
Published: November 2024

Salah satu yang menjadi penggerak perekonomian di Indonesia adalah Perseroan Terbatas. Sebagai suatu badan hukum Perseroan Terbatas merupakan subjek hukum yang mandiri, dimana Perseroan Terbatas dapat melakukan kegiatan bisnis atas Namanya sendiri, mempunyai kekayaan sendiri, dan dapat digugat ataupun menggugat di pengadilan. Meskipun demikian, PT membutuhkan organ yang dapat mewakili PT melakukan semua hal tersebut. Organ PT yang dimaksud adalah rapat umum pemegang saham (RUPS), direksi dan dewan komisaris. Ketiga organ PT di atas dalam melaksanakan tugasnya harus bertindak sesuai dengan kepentingan dan tujuan persero agar tindakan yang dilakukan oleh organ persero tidak merugikan persero. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kasus dan perundang-undangan. Sehingga tujuan kami adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaturan terhadap tindakan rangkap jabatan dewan komisaris dan direksi dalam BUMN yang berbetuk PT. Sehingga hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa peraturan mengenai rangkap jabatan masih belum jelas dan terkesan tumpang tindih. Seperti halnya dalam UU PT rangkap jabatan ini tidak diatur didalamnya, namun dalam UU lainnya seperti UU BUMN mengatur dan melarang mengenai tindakan tersebut.

Published: November 2024

Multiple biomarkers pave the way for diagnosis of periodontal disease and to determine the disease prognosis. Thus, biomarkers have substantial application in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics. Quantification of levels of cytokines as well as other biomarkers in conditions like periodontitis and peri-implantitis help in identifying ongoing pathological processes because research has revealed that the intensity of periodontal disease is related to the level of the biomarker. Furthermore, identification of the status of ongoing disease activity maybe hastened using chairside diagnostic kits which utilize specific biomarkers as their basic analytical element. Multiplex arrays that identify multiple biomarkers from a single sample are useful to arrive at unambiguous diagnosis as compared to single biomarker assays. Understanding and comparing the various assays and arrays available, along with the overall knowledge of their working principles and characteristics, help in categorically choosing specific assays or arrays. This review gives an overview of the diagnostic assays and arrays used in periodontics with a focus on application of multiplex arrays in periodontology.

Justicia transicional y Derechos Humanos en las nuevas democracias de Argentina, Chile y Uruguay de finales del siglo XX
Authors: Moreno Diego
Published: November 2024

América Latina se ha convertido en las últimas décadas en uno de los territorios más dinámicos en la búsqueda de caminos para la justicia transicional. Ello no se debe solamente a la historia contemporánea de la región, signada por dictaduras y múltiples formas de violencia colectiva. El dinamismo de este campo de demandas, prácticas y estudios en la región obedece también a un cambio positivo en nuestra concepción de la democracia: una comprensión más exigente y abarcadora, que no se resigna a entenderla como un abstracto equilibrio institucional, sino que demanda de ella un paradigma humanitario: una preocupación por la protección y el respeto de la dignidad humana como valor universal. Un elemento central de tal exigencia es el cumplimiento de la deuda de justicia con quienes en el pasado han sido víctimas de violaciones de Derechos Humanos y otras formas de afectación de sus derechos fundamentales por la acción del Estado. En ese sentido el presente trabajo pretende analizar la importancia de las luchas sociales en la búsqueda de verdad y el respeto de los Derechos Humanos como un elemento clave de la propuesta de una construcción democrática, humanista tolerante y pluralista.
La reparación ciega al género: análisis de la política pública sobre reparación a víctimas del terrorismo de Estado en Uruguay
Authors: Meza Tananta Flor de María
Published: November 2024

Este artículo reflexiona en torno a la política pública de reparación para víctimas de la actuación ilegitima y del terrorismo de estado en Uruguay (1968-1985), Ley n.° 18.596, y la ceguera de esta para incorporar la perspectiva de género dejando afuera reparaciones a graves daños, diferenciados y específicos, como la violencia sexual a las niñas y mujeres cometidas en ese período por agentes del Estado.
El Estado uruguayo está omiso frente a sus obligaciones establecidas en el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos respecto a la prevención, investigación, sanción y reparación de las mujeres que sufrieron violencia sexual y tortura durante la actuación ilegitima y del terrorismo de estado en Uruguay. La ley reparatoria integral las excluye. Esta omisión tiene consecuencias negativas para las mujeres vulneradas en sus derechos humanos, para sus entornos familiares y también para la sociedad uruguaya, pues el mensaje que ésta recibe es el de la impunidad frente a estos actos.

Pure magnesium oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the sol–gel method and calcined at various temperatures – 500, 600, 800 and 1000 °C. The average crystalline size of the smallest particles obtained at 500 °C was 7.2 nm. This powder was hydrolyzed at room temperature in the nitrogen atmosphere for 48 h with addition of 10 w.% of water. To stabilize this mixture 1 w.% of hydroxypropyl cellulose (Klucel E) was added. A suspension of pure Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles (20–30 nm) in 2-propanole was directly used for paper deacidification treatment. The samples were investigated and the obtained results were compared with the samples treated with bare Mg(OH)2. The antibacterial and fungicidal efficiency of obtained nanoparticles was also investigated by introducing the particles into the media containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli growth media.

METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, em que foi consultada a base de dados Medical Literature and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE). Foram utilizados os descritores “pregnancy in adolescence”, “contraception” e “health education” no idioma inglês, e combinados entre si utilizando-se o operador booleano AND. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: No total, foram selecionados 14 artigos que responderam à pergunta norteadora e aos critérios de elegibilidade, com recorte temporal entre os anos de 2018 e 2023. Foi observado que a aplicação de estratégias de ensino em ambientes escolar se mostrou eficaz em promover comportamentos sexuais seguros. Ademais, usar vídeos informativos, aplicativos e mensagens de texto foram métodos viáveis para prevenir a gravidez precoce em adolescentes e aumentar o uso de métodos contraceptivos nessa população. CONCLUSÃO: Verificou-se que o uso de estratégias que envolviam a tecnologia, em sua maioria, foram essenciais para viabilizar educação sexual de qualidade entre as diferentes populações de adolescentes. Apesar disso, algumas intervenções precisam ser adaptadas às realidades dos jovens, para que melhores resultados sejam alcançados.

Published: November 2024

The need for alternative fuels remains a growing concern in alleviating the depletion of fossil fuels for transportation to address one of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7: Alternative and Clean Energy) despite the emerging use of Electric Vehicles. Nipa fruticans has been introduced as a promising feedstock for bioethanol production, but its performance as a pure engine engine fuel must be determined, and its carbon footprint must be quantified to assess its impact on the environment were this paper aimed. The CO2 emissions of this study was quantified using ISO 14040 methodologies, considering direct and indirect emissions from production to utilization with key ethanol properties tested according to ASTM standards. A carbureted motorcycle was modified to a fuel injection (FI) system to assess fuel performance, with metrics like power output, consumptions, and emissions were evaluated. Results show that nipa-based bioethanol, H95F and H99F, can serve as renewable pure engine fuels, with carbon footprints of 0.2353 and 2.633 kg CO2eq per Liter respectively with 1.08% lower of kg CO2eq per Liter emissions and 32.7% lower production cost compared to fermented sugar. As pure engine fuel resulted in lowering CO emissions by 171.79% and 167.59%; and lower HC emissions 172.89% and 191.34% respectively compared to E10. These findings demonstrated the potential of nipa bioethanol as a clean and sustainable energy solution. It is recommended however that ethanol yield and distillation process be further improved and explore pure ethanol as alternative fuel to hybrid vehicles as 100% renewable vehicles.

Stones in the City: Meaningfulness and Meaninglessness of Stones
Authors: Ueda Takuya
Published: November 2024

The article deals with meaningfulness and meaninglessness of stones. In Japan, we see many stones that are casually placed about the city. Although many of the stones in the city can be understood aesthetically or through folklore, there are also many stones that cannot be understood from these viewpoints. This suggests that Japanese people like to place meaningless objects, and the stones will be suitable for the placement in such a case. The author also discusses the stones that appeared in sandplay therapy processes. Three case examples illustrate the stone's power to stabilize the whole without over-clarifying or burdening the meaning. The author focuses more on the meaninglessness of stones as a means to resist the illness of meaning in modern culture. This paper was presented at the 21st ISST Congress: Origins, Evolution, Essentials, 2011, Ittingen, Switzerland.

When Sandplay Therapy Ends Without an Ending: The Sandplay Process of a Ten-Year-Old Girl With Separation Anxiety
Authors: Noel-Hermann Ruth
Published: November 2024

This article describes the sandplay-process of a 10-year-old girl with separation anxiety, living in a complicated patchwork-family and parents, who separated even before her birth.

She then proceeds to work on the feelings of anger and sadness, which are hidden behind her symptom of anxiety and are now upcoming in the therapeutic relationship as well. This motivates the therapist to ask the parents for more frequent therapy sessions. After a very difficult conversation, the father is threatens to end the therapy abruptly. As a few more meetings are arranged, the girl's sandplay therapy now enters into an ending-process, and the girl finds very original ways of expressing her deep fear, sadness and anger through sandplay. The description of this process is related to the path of the labyrinth and is also accompanied by some theoretic reflections about separation anxiety and the technique of ending a therapeutic process. This paper was was presented at the Sandplay Intensive in Switzerland, 2011 and at the 21st ISST Congress: Origins, Evolution, Essentials, 2011, Ittingen, Switzerland.
Sand and Objects: How Different Psychic Layers Are Expressed in the Sandtray
Authors: Ruffino Carlo
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to propose a reflection on the different meanings of the sand itself and the different objects which can be used to create the sandtray picture. The sand represents the matrix, that maternal element from which every life originates. It symbolizes also the soma and thus can give voice to those nuclei of suffering inscribed in the body. From the point of view of alchemical symbolism, the sand can represent the Prima Materia. By the sand itself are expressed the deepest layers of the psyche, the more archaic and primitive emotions, those emotions and memories which are mainly inscribed in the body and cannot be expressed by words. The objects and figurines are the image of the inner theatre of the client, that is, a psychic level where the different characters of the inner world are already structured, even if they remain unconscious. The healing power of sandplay therapy results specifically from the possibility of integrating these different psychic aspects re-establishing psycho-physical wholeness. This paper was presented at the 21st ISST Congress: Origins, Evolution, Essentials, 2011, Ittingen, Switzerland.

He was able to find his way guided by the symbolic light of the spontaneously and unconsciously produced inner image of the star to integrate dark and light aspects of his life experiences and personality. There was an internal growth of order, balance, organization, and self-regulation during this process. By the end of therapy, the client seemed to have developed an internal bridging of a deep psychological split and a new sense of direction.
Sandplay and Dreams: The Pathway to Individuation
Authors: Sbrissa Ana Maria Colicchio Lopes
Published: November 2024

This article reflects upon the sandplay process of a 43-year-old woman suffering from major depression. The author focuses on analytical psychology concepts and the alchemical metaphor. The patient's depth process included a positive transference expressed through sandplay scenes and dreams. The client was able to confront the shadow, recognize her negative father and mother complexes and begin recollecting psychic energy projected on others. Confronting the shadow, "dissolving" defenses and working on masculine and feminine sides of her personality provided the possibility for the analysand to integrate new symbols and recognize her own identity and values.
Engaging With the Archetypal Cat: The Image of the Cat in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Grubbs Geri A.
Published: November 2024

Historically, cats have had a profound influence on the imagination. Beginning with the Egyptian era as goddess Bast and Sekhmet, its archetypal energy has been incorporated in our religious beliefs, cult activity of the Middle Ages, mediumship of the Celts, and into the unconscious of people today as expressed in their dreams, stories, and creative expressions. Symbolically, cats represent our instincts that can guide us toward greater inner vision and act as a protective influence, an example of which is given in a Sandplay therapy process of a middle aged woman, along with two of her dreams. Qualities that we personally see in a cat represent conditions within us on a deeply felt, collective and personal level. When our cat energy is active, analyzing our projections onto it may help us see our subjective reality and complexes, dark and devouring qualities, as well as its healing and guiding principles in our lives.
Three Forms of Masks in Sandplay Therapy: Miniatures Wearing Masks, Mask Objects, Sculpted Sand Masks
Authors: Steinhardt Lenore F.
Published: November 2024

This article was presented at the ISST Congress held in Venice, in August 2013, whose theme was "The Mask." It focuses on three categories of masks that appear in sandplay: miniatures that wear masks—superheroes and clowns; mask objects—replicas of mythical or religious masks; and masks that are sculpted directly in sand. In the sandtray, masks are played with, placed or created, and not worn. A mask emphasizes the gaze of eyes behind the surface, a shared encounter between the mask and the viewer that suggests a visible boundary between the conscious factual world and the archetypal invisible world. Masks bring the client into relationship with the puzzle of what is hidden. An overview of the three mask forms is followed by examples from four Sandplay processes: masks in the spontaneous trays of a young boy; masks in the mourning process of a girl for her father; a gold mask used in three sandtrays in a spiritual dialogue with a young mother; and different mask forms that aid the individuation process of a 28-year-old woman. Three examples of sculpted sand masks are also discussed.
The Peacock: Beauty and Survival in Sandplay
Authors: Pelz-Sherman Dori
Published: November 2024

The Greek myth of Argus, a story of transformation and of watchfulness, begins this paper exploring the symbolism of the peacock. This bird is endowed with qualities of transformation, change, and rebirth. The author draws on Jungian theory, biological understandings, spirituality, and alchemy to explain how the peacock's presence in the sandplayer's sandtray can symbolically embody the means to achieve a more conscious relation to the self, and a modification of the ego's identification with the self. As an agent of transformation for the human psyche, the peacock's symbolic range is vast: superficial vanity, immortality, protection, survival, spiritual powers, vulnerability, sexual attraction or a link to the gods. By outlining the physical characteristics and reproductive behaviors, we may come to a deeper understanding of the symbolic utility and the role science can play in archetypal representations. Literature offers rich metaphor and anthropomorphic images. The author utilizes the sandtrays of adult male and female patients to illustrate how Sandplay therapy can symbolically access a potential new day, hold multiple and opposite meanings, offer protection, guidance and illumination.
Metamorphosis: From the Cocoon to the Garden Psychosomatics in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Yoshikawa Margareth Lury
Published: November 2024

This paper is about the psychotherapy of a woman in need of structuring of her identity. She was referred by her doctor because of allergy symptoms which intensified depending on her emotional state; there was also, a correlation between the symptoms and her difficulty relating to others. From the perspective of a Jungian oriented psychosomatic dynamic, physical and psychic symptoms are considered symbolic manifestations of pathogenic complexes, with the central dynamic focused around an archetypal theme. Illnesses may constellate inferior aspects of the personality and often force the person to face certain elements that otherwise may remain in the shadow. An understanding of the meaning of an illness and integration of shadow aspects enables a transformation to occur in the individual; the cure or the meaning is found to the extent that the symbol can move freely, that is, when the instinct can be transformed into an image. Sandplay therapy provides a way to overcome these habitual defenses and attempts to give form to a conflict. The scene produced in the sand provides a nonverbal means of visualizing an emotional content that has not yet found a way to be verbalized at that moment. In the clinical example of "Jana" the symptoms were mainly dermatological, she also suffered from allergic rhinitis. Her allergies gradually lessened, as her self-esteem improved. Thus contributing in forming her own individuality. She transformed emotions into images and worked through neurotic defenses, changing to a healthier pattern of relating to the world.
The Poetics of Space: A Dialogue Between Gaston Bachelard and Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Troudart Michal
Published: November 2024

We live in a world where appearance and visibility are very dominant, privacy is often violated and there is hardly any space for the mysterious, the magical, the invisible. Yet, our psyche needs its refuge to intimate corners, where it can find a still point. In his book The Poetics of Space, the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard explores different containers or shelters for our daydreams and our memories. There are many parallels between Bachelard's ideas about reverie and the ideas behind sandplay therapy. Following Bachelard, this paper will deal with the importance of secrets and hidden corners for the soul in our world. The crucial function of the analytic temenos in reconstructing individuality and restoring the merit of the inner world of secrets and reverie will be discussed. Within the analytic encounter, a special focus will be put on the sandtray serving as a temenos within the temenos, where the treasures of the soul can be put into containers, buried, protected and allowed to unfold when the right time arrives. This article is a proceeding from Finding the Stillpoint…at the Crossroads—The 23rd ISST Congress, Ottawa, Canada, 2015.

The Chakras in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Grubbs Geri A.
Published: November 2024

The theory of chakras comes from the Sanskrit tradition of India and the ancient science of yoga. There are seven of these "gates" that are known to store information in the form of our psychological tendencies, habits, and desires. It is believed that our desires, limitations, and complexes sink in the spine to become lodged at the area of its respective chakra. The author has observed that these "vrittis" (trapped energy) are occasionally expressed in sandplay and eventually become released as the process unfolds. This article first describes the qualities and sandplay expressions of the seven chakras. It then follows the expression of a traumatized energy in the lumbar chakra of a woman, suffering from PTSD from a childhood rape, who did a 13-month sandplay process.

The Drowned and the Saved: Recovering the Soul Through Sandplay
Authors: Kaplan Jill
Published: November 2024

Traumatic, sudden loss can be overwhelming, rendering the victim unable to respond or recover agency. The case of a young boy who returned to therapy after losing his father to a violent death at a young age is illuminated by Donald Kalsched's work on trauma and soul. Dissociated and disconnected from life, the child's 6-year process, including sandplay, games and artistic endeavors, illustrates movement from despair to a return to creativity and aliveness. The clinical case example demonstrates the recovery of transitional space of play through the nonverbal process of Kalffian sandplay therapy. After numerous scenes of flooding and dissolution, forms begin to arise and at last there is a scene showing the patient's acknowledgment of the sacrifice of his loss. Memory and the metaphor of photography are part of the boy's healing. Jung's theories about regression and the child archetype are also used to reflect upon the boy's process in sandplay therapy.
Piccirillino and the Sand: Analysis of the Symbolic Meaning in a Popular Tuscan Fairy Tale
Authors: Merlino Marcella
Published: November 2024

One of the normal developmental tasks of adolescence is to separate from family and to struggle towards a sense of autonomy and independence. This developmental process can be markedly interrupted when a young person uses drugs. In this proceeding from the ISST International Congress, 2017, the author addresses the cyclical destructive impulses inherent in clients who are abusing drugs. For substance users, the circularity of time is marked by drug-taking and drug-craving, representing a beat of pleasure followed by the feeling of pain. The clients' interrupted therapies, plans, and lives rattled by constant relapses seem to make every action in vain. The ultimate goal of those who use drugs is to cancel their own lives. Images of this total destruction may, at times, appear in the sand tray, but such images may also be signs of the necessary ending of one phase in order to gain access to a new period. As a metaphor for this struggle for autonomy and independence, the Tuscan folk tale of "Piccirillino," is used to illustrate that, by accepting a descent into putrid matter, one can nonetheless grow and emerge transformed. The author presents three clinical examples of patients who are trapped in a web of pathological dependencies, where the process of growth runs aground in the intricacies of a dark and ambivalent desire. Each client works through a descent and emerges in a unique manner.
