alegria da misericórdia, caminho de cristo, caminho da igreja
Authors: Artuso Vicente , Oliveira Antonio Eduardo Pereira Pontes
Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma aproximação teológica de Lucas 15,1-7 extraindo apontamentos pastorais deste texto bíblico. Trata-se da parábola da ovelha perdida que tem como centralidade, ao contrário do que poderia parecer, não a ovelha que se perde, mas a alegria do pastor pelo encontro desta, em analogia à alegria do Pai do céu pela conversão de um pecador, alegria esta compartilhada pelo céu inteiro. Será de primaz importância, iniciar esta abordagem pela contextualização da perícope selecionada, já que faz parte de um conjunto maior de três parábolas, chamadas da misericórdia, o núcleo mesmo do evangelho de Lucas. Esta contextualização encontra sua razão de ser no fato da similaridade deste fragmento bíblico com o de Mateus 18,12-14, sendo que a diferença entre eles está, justamente, na intenção dos evangelistas, salientada pelo contexto em que inserem a parábola. Para Lucas, é clara a articulação da parábola para justificar a atitude de Jesus em relação aos publicanos e pecadores, com os quais toma refeição. Terá espaço neste artigo, também, a contextualização e o significado histórico-social da opção de Jesus pelos publicanos em resposta às exigências morais e excludentes do grupo dos fariseus. Por fim, tirar-se-á as consequências pastorais para a práxis eclesial à luz desta parábola da misericórdia.

UAV Path Planning Based on Butterfly Optimization Algorithm in Three-Dimensional Space
Authors: Kadhim Srayyih Maytham
Published: January 2025

The BOA is a novel optimization algorithm, which is inspired by the butterfly and enables the searching for the best solutions in a respective search area. The algorithm can be set to targeted goals like the amount of distance needed to cover, or/and the presence of an obstacle or the completion of the particular mission objectives. I applied the BOA to generate paths of UAVs on a three-dimensional space and considered the objectives of collision urgency, energy consumption, and near-optimal path planning. Specifically for the assessment of the algorithm, I simulated the application of MATLAB and apply multiple scenarios both on two-dimensional and on three-dimensional environments. I also benchmarked the BOA with two other algorithms including the Ant Colony Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The results proved that the BOA performed better than the GA in terms of cost function and the time required to arrive at the optimal solution especially in 3D solid terrain. By analyzing the simulation results, the flexibility of the BOA in a 3D environment is evident when new changes take place in the environment. Moreover, the algorithm showed rather swift reaction in terms of path acting in response to various unexpected obstacles. The proposed BOA is viable for the path planning of UAVs in three-dimensional space and effective compared to the other optimization algorithms.
The Fast Type-IV Discrete Sine Transform Algorithms for Short-Length Input Sequences
Authors: Polyakova Marina , Witenberg Anna , Cariov Aleksandr
Published: January 2025

The fast algorithms of discrete sinusoidal transform of the fourth type (DST-IV) for small-length input data in the range of lengths from 2 to 9 are developed. Fast algorithms for short input data sequences are subsequently used as building blocks for designing fast algorithms of large-sized discrete transforms. Applying the fast DST-IV algorithms for small-size block processing can reduce overall system complexity and delay, allowing detailed signal processing. As a result of the literature review, two main approaches to developing fast discrete sine transform (DST) algorithms were identified, namely, the polynomial algebraic approach and the matrix factorization approach. In the paper, the last approach is exploited. A matrix-vector product expression of the DST-IV is the starting point for designing the fast algorithms. Then based on the repetition and arranging of the matrix elements, the factorization of the matrices of coefficients of DST-IV is produced to reduce computational complexity. The correctness of the obtained algorithmic solutions was justified theoretically using a strict mathematical background of each of them. The elaborated algorithms were then further tested using MATLAB R2023b software to finally confirm their performance. The resulting factorizations of the DST-IV matrices reduce the number of multiplications by 63% but increase the number of additions by 8% on average in the range of signal sample numbers from 3 to 9. It has been observed that for even-length input sequences, the reduction in the number of multiplications is not as significant as for odd-length sequences. For some other well-known discrete trigonometric transforms (discrete Fourier transform, discrete Hartley transform) the opposite situation holds. The proposed DST-IV fast algorithms do not limit the length of the input data sequence to powers of two or three. The data flow graphs constructed for the proposed algorithms reveal their modular space-time structure suitable for VLSI implementation.
Three-factor assessment of rutting factor of modified asphalt binders and mastics in the ageing process
Authors: Mielczarek Marta , Andrzejczak Karol , Słowik Mieczysław
Published: January 2025

This paper discusses the research and multivariate analyses of rheological properties of asphalt binders and mastics containing various mineral fillers and SBS copolymer-modified bitumen. In the experimental design employed, three types of mineral filler were used: limestone, basalt or granodiorite. For the purpose of determining the effect of ageing processes on the rheological properties of the obtained mastics, all asphalt binders tested were subjected to short-term (technological) ageing simulated under laboratory conditions using the RTFOT method. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the rutting resistance of modified binders and asphalt mastics depending on such factors as: the type of mineral filler, the percentage of SBS copolymer, temperature, and the influence of the ageing process. A three-way ANOVA was used to test for rutting resistance. The results of laboratory tests and statistical analyses made it possible to assess the significance of the factors examined in the research on the rutting resistance of asphalt binders and mastics, both before and after short-term ageing.
Hepatic lipidomics reveal shifts in glycerolipid, phospholipid, and sphingolipid composition associated with hepatic fat accumulation in central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps)
Authors: Beaufrère Hugues , Sosa-Higareda Mariana , Ammersbach Mélanie
Published: January 2025

Objective

To characterize changes in the hepatic lipid profile and metabolic pathways associated with increasing hepatic fat accumulation in bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps).

Methods

Untargeted lipidomic analysis was conducted using LC-MS-MS on liver samples from bearded dragons with varying hepatic fat content. Hepatic fat percentage was calculated from digital image analysis of scanned histopathology slides. After data normalization, associations between lipids and hepatic fat percentages were assessed using serial linear models adjusted for false discovery rate, volcano plots, and principal component analysis. Changes in fatty acyl chains of triacylglycerols and phospholipids were characterized graphically using bubble plots. Enrichment and pathway analyses were also performed to examine potential disruptions in lipid metabolic pathways.

Results

36 central bearded dragons were sampled, and 976 lipid molecules were identified and quantified. Triacylglycerols were the most abundant and exhibited significant increases in concentrations and changes in fatty acyl chain characteristics with higher hepatic fat content. Notably, ether-linked glycerolipids were significantly enriched with increasing fat content. Phospholipids, especially phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylinositols, demonstrated a negative association with hepatic fat accumulation, but fatty acyl chains remained stable. Sphingomyelins were also decreased with increasing hepatic fat.

Conclusions

This study shows some significant shifts in the hepatic lipidome of bearded dragons with increased hepatic fat, mainly involving glycerolipids, phospholipids, and sphingolipids.

Clinical Relevance

These findings reveal both shared and unique features when compared to mammalian and avian fatty liver disease and suggest species-specific lipid adaptive mechanisms.

Published: January 2025

Study aim: Accurate measurement of joint angles during running is crucial for performance optimisation and injury prevention. Traditional methods are often expensive or impractical for outdoor settings, making pose estimation techniques a promising alternative. This study aims to validate and evaluate the accuracy of BlazePose for measuring hip, knee, and ankle joint angles at key gait events, initial contact (IC), midstance (MS), and toe-off (TO) in outdoor running.

Material and methods: Sixteen male athletes participated in this study. Joint angles were measured using BlazePose and compared to manual measurements obtained with Kinovea software. Statistical analysis, including paired t-tests, Pearson correlation coefficients (r), Bland-Altman plots, mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean square error (RMSE), was performed to assess BlazePose’s validity, agreement, and accuracy.

Results: BlazePose demonstrated a strong to very strong correlation with Kinovea (r: 0.70-0.97). Bland-Altman plots indicated good precision with minimal bias (average MAE: 2.11°, MAPE: 1.57%, RMSE: 2.63°). Ankle joint measurements were the most accurate across all joints and events, followed by the hip joint, particularly during midstance. Knee joint measurements had slightly higher errors but remained within an acceptable range.

Conclusions: BlazePose is a valid tool for measuring joint angles during outdoor running, providing an affordable alternative for biomechanical analysis. The findings are specific to the outdoor conditions under which the study was conducted, highlighting the necessity of validating pose estimation techniques in diverse environments and populations for broader applicability.
Moral Disengagement as a Main Component of Malevolent Creative Potential
Authors: Segatta Cecilia , Pozzoli Tiziana , Agnoli Sergio
Published: January 2025

Malevolent creativity uses creative thinking for harmful or destructive goals, displaying characteristics of originality and effectiveness, but with harmful (i.e., malevolent) intent. In the present work, we hypothesized that one of the main components of creative potential in malevolent scenarios is moral disengagement, which should modulate the association between originality and malevolence in the generation of new ideas. The current study aimed at exploring malevolent creative potential in a sample of 190 participants, both in neutral everyday situations and in scenarios evoking malevolent intentions. The results showed that moral disengagement was indeed associated with a higher rate of malevolent creative behaviors as well as with a higher ability to produce original solutions, especially in scenarios requiring malevolent intentions. Particularly, moral disengagement proved to be the moderator between malevolence and originality of participants’ responses. Specifically, in malevolent scenarios, results revealed an association between malevolence and originality but only at medium or high levels of moral disengagement. In conclusion, moral disengagement represents a pivotal resource to succeed in creativity in scenarios eliciting malevolent intentions.

Malignant transformation in invasive breast cancer (IBC) is the result of the accumulation of successive mutations in critical regions of the genome. Another important mechanism for controlling malignant progression is cellular senescence. Although some research suggests its protective role, recent studies have shown that senescence has a significant impact on the development and progression of cancer. The aim of our work is to examine the potential prognostic value of a specific senescence marker, β galactosidase (GLB1). The investigation encompassed a cohort of 147 individuals diagnosed with IBC. In each case of IBC, the occurrence of Non-Invasive Lesions (NIL) was recorded. The assessment of GLB1 expression was conducted by quantifying the percentage of nuclear expression in epithelial cells of both IBC and NIL. Upon examination of the data, it was ascertained that the expression of GLB1 was markedly elevated in IBC in comparison to NIL, with statistical significance (p<0.001). Furthermore, disparities in GLB1 expression across various molecular subtypes of breast cancer were observed (p<0.001), presenting the most pronounced expression in the HER2-positive (HER2+) subtype of IBC, whereas the Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) subtype exhibited the minimal GLB1 expression. Additionally, a substantial variance in GLB1 expression was noted contingent on the presence of HER2 expression (p<0.001). We can conclude that examining the presence of cellular senescence using GLB1 can facilitate the differentiation of NIL from IBC, as well as indicate the prognosis of the disease itself.
Quantification and assessment of Day-To-Day interfraction set-up errors in radiotherapy treatment delivery based on EPID detector
Authors: Klimas Aleksandra , Janik Michał , Bałamut Karolina , Ślosarek Krzysztof , Cholewka Armand
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine whether the EPID detector can serve as an effective tool for interfractional dose control. Accurate radiotherapy delivery is vital for successful treatment, prompting advancements in dosimetry methods, particularly for dynamic techniques. Linear accelerators use kilovoltage and megavoltage X-rays to verify patient positioning, a standard practice essential for minimizing geometric and dosimetric errors. While integrated imaging systems typically use orthogonal radiographs, this method increases radiation exposure and fails to account for intra-fractional movements, risking undetected errors. To ensure patients receive the planned radiation dose, in-vivo dosimetry is performed by measuring the dose at various locations on the patient's body, which simultaneously verifies correct positioning. Discrepancies can reveal incorrect positioning or significant movements, thus enhancing treatment accuracy. This study investigates transit dosimetry using Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPID) to verify patient positioning during treatment. It establishes tolerance ranges and response criteria for the head and neck and pelvic areas, providing insights into the concordance between planned and actual dose distributions.

Material and methods: The analysis included 30 patients treated with dynamic techniques in the pelvic (Pelvis) and head and neck (Head&Neck) areas. For each fraction, a fluence map was recorded using the EPID detector. This allowed for repeated comparisons between summary fluence maps across treatment fractions, totaling 1552 comparisons for the Head&Neck area and 2339 for the Pelvis area. To evaluate the correspondence between fluence map pairs, gamma indices were calculated using specified accuracy criteria.

Results: Statistical analysis employed Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test, establishing significant correspondence within defined limits. For the Head&Neck area, repeatability was found within 3 mm and 4%; for the Pelvis area, it was within 4 mm and 4%.

Conclusions: This method of verifying treatment repeatability is practical for clinical use, requiring no additional dose and not hindering treatment delivery.
CoRRection – an open source software tool for RR intervals processing
Authors: Mikielewicz Magdalena , Gąsior Jakub Sławomir , Młyńczak Marcel
Published: January 2025

Introduction: An analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is widely used in clinical and research. To properly calculate HRV parameters, the RR intervals series must be properly preprocessed. There are already automated tools for correcting these artifacts; however, they are not fully transparent and fully customizable. To address these limitations, we introduce CoRRection, a semi-automatic tool for RR interval correction, which integrates both automatic and manual approaches providing greater control over which intervals are corrected.

Material and Methods: The application offers detection and correction methods. Additionally, it allows to manually remove an artifact before applying a correction method. It also allows to clean artifacts in shorter segments which enables applying different detection methods in one example, e.g., gathered during intense exercise. The application provides a test to assess signal stationarity (Augmented Dickey-Fuller test). After signal processing the report is created, containing the number of probes deleted and modified.

Results: The proposed CoRRection application allows both technical and non-technical users to preprocess RR signals with a better control over the process by enabling the use of semi-automatic approach. A few examples of studies which required Correction’s unique approach of semi-automatic correction were presented. The need for different methods and not only considering different examinations, but also different segments within one recording was emphasized.

Conclusions: We have presented a new application designed to preprocess RR intervals signal with a few popular detection and correction methods. This approach enables a good compromise between a precise manual approach and a less time-consuming automatic approach. The semi-automatic method of artifact correction empowers users to explore multiple identification and correction methods (and to choose the one best fitted to the data or measurement conditions), and offers a better understanding of the examination preprocessing tools. This may also result in a better trust in the automatic approach among the users.
Modeling the Dispersion of Air Pollution Due to Volcanic Eruptions
Authors: Sufitri Yumita , Bachtiar Vera Surtia , Putra Alqadri Asri , Nugroho Sugeng
Published: January 2025

The eruption of Mount Marapi has caused damage to agricultural land and the temporary closure of Minangkabau International Airport. Simulations were conducted using HYSPLIT to detect the initial direction of volcanic ash dispersion. The trajectory analysis from HYSPLIT indicated that the volcanic ash dispersion on December 3, 2023, and January 5, 2024, extended beyond 100 km, while on December 22, 2023, January 19, February 4, and February 23, 2024, the dispersion was less than 100 km. HYSPLIT models indicated that the ash dispersion was directed towards Minangkabau Airport during the closure period. As a result, HYSPLIT can be considered a suitable software for simulating volcanic ash dispersion. Concentration evaluations based on Government Regulation No. 22 of 2022 revealed that several areas exceeded the applicable air quality standards. Validation using data from the HIMAWARI satellite and NASA WorldView indicated similar dispersion direction patterns in the simulation results. However, the Mann-Whitney test revealed significant differences when comparing the concentration outputs from HYSPLIT to PM2.5 levels before and during the eruption, based on PM2.5 monitoring documents from GAW Kototabang. Recommended mitigation measures include prioritizing the volcanic ash hazard zone within a 0-10 km radius from the crater by restricting activities and planning evacuation routes and safe areas away from volcanic ash exposure.

Estudio cualitativo sobre el concepto de pensamiento crítico, las habilidades que lo componen y las estrategias para su enseñanza, a partir de un cuestionario aplicado a una docena de académicos de humanidades de universidades chilenas. Usando metodología de Análisis del Discurso, se examinan las respuestas de los docentes, determinando que gran parte de ellas se encuentran organizadas alrededor de metáforas que presentan el pensamiento crítico como un conflicto, más otras que lo remiten al análisis de textos o a una forma de reflexión respecto del sujeto y su relación con la sociedad. La consistencia y circularidad hermenéutica de las conceptualizaciones que subyacen a estas metáforas, así como sus consecuencias en la interpretación de las estrategias didácticas de las humanidades, apuntan hacia una configuración ideológica que excede el discurso disciplinar y remite, en último término, al discurso académico.

Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings modified the outcomes of early surgery compared to exercise and education in young patients with meniscal tears.

DESIGN: A secondary effect modifier analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

METHODS: The primary outcome was change from baseline to 12 months in the mean score of 4 Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales (KOOS4). Three potential MRI-defined effect modifiers were predefined: (1) the type of meniscal tear (simple vs bucket handle or complex), (2) the meniscus affected (medial vs lateral), and (3) the presence of knee effusion/synovitis (yes/no). We used a linear mixed model to investigate the difference in mean change between the treatment groups, stratified by each of the 3 potential effect modifiers, and estimated the interactions. An adjusted effect difference ≥ 10 points (0-100 scale) was considered clinically relevant.

RESULTS: Data from all participants (60 in the surgery group and 61 in the exercise group) were analyzed. The mean (SD) age was 29.7 (6.6) years, and 28% were female. A potential effect modification was observed for knee effusion/synovitis, with its presence implying an increase of the effect of early surgery by 11 points on the KOOS4 ( P = .07).

CONCLUSION: Knee effusion/synovitis on MRI potentially modified the treatment effect with a clinically relevant difference in change of the KOOS4 in patients with effusion/synovitis, favoring early surgery. We found no indication that patients with bucket handle or complex versus simple tears or medial versus lateral tears benefited more from early surgery. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2025;55(3):1-11.

Authors: Zoheb Mohd Faisal , Patil Sharanagouda , Angadi Kumar , Mangshetty Roopa
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) represents approximately 5–10% of all diabetes cases. Over time, nearly all individuals with T1DM are likely to experience diabetic retinopathy (DR). Within this group, the incidence of retinopathy is around 25% after 5 years of diagnosis, increasing to 60% after 10 years and reaching approximately 80% after 15 years. (1) To study the occurrence of DR in T1DM affected children and adolescents. (2) To study the relation of occurrence of DR with glycaemic control. (3) To study the relation between the duration of Type-1 diabetes and the occurrence of DR.

Material and Methods:

Following approval from the institutional ethics committee and informed consent from the parents of participating subjects, a prospective observational study was conducted involving 54 paediatric patients with T1DM from the outpatient and inpatient departments. A comprehensive history was documented for each participant, and screening for DR was performed using direct ophthalmoscopy. Glycaemic control was assessed by measuring glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, with findings recorded in a structured pro forma. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel and were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 25.0, with both qualitative and quantitative analyses conducted. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

The study analysed 54 children with type 1 diabetes, equally divided by gender, with a mean age of 12.72 years. The onset age was most common between 6–10 and 11–15 years, averaging 8.87 years. Most children (79.6%) had diabetes for 1–5 years, with a mean duration of 3.85 years. HbA1c levels were ≥8.5% in 83.3% of the children, averaging 10.6%. No children exhibited symptoms of DR, though 3.7% had DR. Significant associations were found between higher HbA1c levels, longer diabetes duration and the presence of DR (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The present study demonstrates a relatively low incidence of DR among children with diabetes. It underscores the significance of diabetes duration and HbA1c levels as contributing factors in Indian paediatric patients. Optimal glycaemic control is highlighted as crucial in mitigating the onset and progression of DR in young diabetics.

DISCRIMINATION OF KEJAWEN BELIEVERS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Mahanani Rosemary Rindiyaningtyas
Published: January 2025

AbstractPopulation diversity can be found in Indonesia. The population is made up of several tribes, cultures, dialects, and faiths. There are many religions and beliefs that exist in Indonesia, one of which is Kejawen. Kejawen people have one view called Manunggaling Kawula Lan Gusti, which assumes that man's moral obligation is to achieve harmony with the ultimate power and the ultimate unity, that man surrenders himself as kawula to his God. Freedom to express religion is clearly stated as human rights on many national and international laws including the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. However, the discrimination is still felt by Kejawen believers in society. They are experiencing rejection, scorn, and judgment from others. Mostly, the reason is because they are seen as polytheistic based on the belief of the majority which is because of tolerance and knowledge of the Kejawen belief system. It is necessary to apply strict sanctions for people who discriminate against adherents of the Kejawen belief in order to create a safe and comfortable environment for all Indonesian people.AbstrakKeanekaragaman penduduk dapat ditemukan di Indonesia. Penduduk Indonesia terdiri dari berbagai suku, budaya, dialek, dan kepercayaan. Ada banyak agama dan aliran kepercayaan yang ada di Indonesia, salah satunya adalah Kejawen. Masyarakat Kejawen memiliki satu pandangan yang disebut Manunggaling Kawula Lan Gusti, yang mengasumsikan bahwa kewajiban moral manusia adalah untuk mencapai keselarasan dengan kekuatan tertinggi dan kesatuan tertinggi, bahwa manusia menyerahkan dirinya sebagai kawula kepada Tuhannya. Kebebasan untuk mengekspresikan agama secara jelas dinyatakan sebagai hak asasi manusia di banyak hukum nasional dan internasional termasuk Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945. Namun, diskriminasi masih dirasakan oleh para penghayat Kejawen di masyarakat. Mereka mengalami penolakan, cemoohan, dan penghakiman dari orang lain. Sebagian besar alasannya adalah karena mereka dianggap musyrik berdasarkan keyakinan mayoritas yang disebabkan oleh toleransi dan pengetahuan tentang sistem kepercayaan Kejawen. Perlu adanya penerapan sanksi yang tegas bagi masyarakat yang melakukan diskriminasi terhadap penganut kepercayaan Kejawen agar tercipta lingkungan yang aman dan nyaman bagi seluruh masyarakat Indonesia.

AbstractMaria Pauline, who holds Dutch citizenship, has committed crimes in Indonesia by breaking into BNI with a total loss of state funds of 1.7 trillion Rupiah. Maria Pauline was arrested in Serbia. The extradition of Maria Pauline to Indonesia has become a separate legal issue considering that Indonesia and Serbia do not yet have an extradition treaty. This study aims to analyze the application of objective territorial and protection jurisdiction in the extradition case of Maria Pauline. The research method used is a normative juridical research method by prioritizing secondary data as the main data. This data was obtained through a literature search. Based on the research results, it can be seen that Indonesia has the authority to exercise its jurisdiction in convicting Maria Pauline because Indonesia is a country where crimes were committed and suffered huge losses. This is based on the principle of objective territorial and protection jurisdiction. Maria Pauline's extradition from Serbia to Indonesia was based on the principle of good and reciprocal relations between Indonesia and Serbia. This is a substitute considering that Indonesia does not yet have an extradition cooperation agreement with Serbia.AbstrakMaria Pauline, pemegang kewarganegaraan Belanda, telah melakukan tindak pidana kejahatan di Indonesia dengan melakukan pembobolan BNI dengan total kerugian uang negara sebesar 1, 7 Triliun Rupiah. Maria Pauline berhasil ditangkap di Serbia. Extradisi Maria Pauline ke Indonesia menjadi sebuah permasalahan hukum tersendiri mengingat Indonesia dan Serbia belum mempunyai perjanjian ekstradisi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan yurisdiksi teritorial objektif dan perlindungan dalam kasus extradisi Maria Pauline. Artikel ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif yang menitikberatkan pada data sekunder sebagai data utama. Data ini diperoleh melalui penelusuran kepustakaan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat diketahui bahwa Indonesia berwenang melaksanakan yuridiksinya dalam menghukum Maria Pauline karena Indonesia adalah sebagai negara tempat kejahatan dilakukan dan mengalami kerugian yang besar. Hal ini berdasarkan asas yurisdiksi teritorial objektif dan perlindungan. Adapun extradisi Maria Pauline dari Serbia ke Indonesia didasarkan pada prinsip hubungan baik dan timbal balik antara Indonesia dan Serbia. Hal ini menjadi subtitusi mengingat Indonesia belum mempunyai perjanjian kerja sama extradisi dengan Serbia.
