Authors: Rismayani Rismayani , Madina Dinda Difia , Karimuddin Karimuddin
Published: July 2024

Each law enforcer has its own authority according to what has been regulated in Indonesian laws and regulations. These provisions are stated in the Judicial Power Law No. 48 of 2009 which states that power judiciary according to The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is independent power . However, what has happened in Indonesia recently seems to be diminishing justice and putting aside codes of ethics in the world of law. The facts that occurred in the Constitutional Court decision No. 90 of 2023 regarding the age limit for presidential and vice presidential candidates were considered a decision that violated the code of ethics because there was a conflict of interest. In fact, the decision was built based on less than rational legal reasoning, resulting in a decision that was considered problematic. Based on the background description above, problems arise in the form of how a judge's authority should be in deciding cases in accordance with what is contained in the legislation. Then what are the legal remedies given in the form of sanctions to judges who are proven to be abusing their authority? This research uses a normative juridical approach, namely by looking at the rules and principles applied in the judiciary in Indonesia. The administration of government must be based on the principles of legality, protection, human rights and AUPB, especially in terms of the principle of not abusing power. Article 10 paragraph (1) letter e and the explanation of Law Number 30 of 2014 stipulate the principle of not abusing one's own authority. This basis requires every government agency and official not to exceed, abuse or confuse their authority for personal or other interests.

Authors: Azrania Kyla Dwi , Hasuri Hasuri
Published: July 2024

Criminal behavior in children is a complex phenomenon and requires serious attention from various parties, including families. Criminology as a science that studies the causes and prevention of crime provides an important foundation in understanding the role of the family in preventing criminal behavior in children. This research aims to examine the role of the family in preventing criminal behavior in children from a criminological perspective. This study uses literature analysis methods to identify factors that influence children's criminal behavior and the role of the family in preventing it. The results of the analysis show that the family has a significant role in shaping children's character and behavior. Harmonious family conditions, open communication, and the formation of strong moral values can be protective factors in preventing children from being involved in criminal behavior. However, there are also risk factors in the family environment that can increase the likelihood that children will be involved in criminal behavior, such as domestic conflict, neglect, and domestic violence. Therefore, the role of the family in preventing criminal behavior in children needs to be strengthened through intervention programs that support the formation of a healthy family environment and support positive child development. This research concludes that to reduce crime rates among children, preventive measures must involve the active role of the family as the smallest unit in society. By understanding the factors that influence children's criminal behavior and the role of families in preventing it, effective intervention strategies can be designed to create a safe environment and support the quality growth of children.

Authors: Paulus Nong Wisang
Published: July 2024

Tourist experiences are highly dynamic when visiting sustainable tourism destinations. Their significance is the essence of the tourism product itself. Memorable experiences will make tourists feel happy, subsequently shaping the destination's image and encouraging repeat visits. This research aims to analyse tourist descriptors and typologies, tourist experiences, and formulate directions for the future development of sustainable tourism destination products. This study employs qualitative methods with a multiple case study approach and also hermeneutics in the study of tourism destinations. Findings from this research indicate that tourists visiting consist of various characteristics and are predominantly millennials and zillennials. Their visits are mostly of the allocentric and mid-centric typology, with the latter being very minimal. The experiences gained are very memorable and make tourists feel happy. However, product services need to be improved by managers as tourists still engage in minimal activity attractions. The formulation of supplementary tourism becomes a direction in the future development of spatially-based sustainable tourism destinations. The implications of this research are the development of tourism products that provide memorable experiences and happiness for allocentric tourists to shape the destination's image and also improve the local community's economy.

Authors: Riska Nur Afriani  , Sori Monang
Published: July 2024

Considering the development of very sophisticated technology, there are many tasks for parents in implementing parenting patterns for children. One of the problems in the current digital era is children's use of gadgets which affects their growth and development. Parents need to monitor and guide children in their use of digital devices to ensure that this does not interfere with their overall development. Children's problems are not new problems, but digital developments (information and communication technology) are believed to have a big influence on children's problems, including children's behavior. The digital era has an impact on easy access to information for children, including their curiosity about current technology. Children's problems are identified in a generation that is familiar with technological developments in the form of gadgets. The use of gadgets by children has positive and negative consequences. So this article aims to examine the positive and negative impacts of integrating gadgets in parenting, as well as solutions for parental supervision of children. The research uses the library research method, which is an approach to collecting data by reading books, magazines, journals, quoting the opinions of various tafsir scholars and other sources of information available in the library. Researchers used qualitative methods to collect existing data until finally it was discovered that integrating gadgets had a lot of influence on the continuity of parenting. In this case, the parenting process must also balance its practice with world and religious concepts. The Al-Qur'an itself provides many instructions regarding parenting patterns in the family. Therefore, integrating gadgets in parenting without being guided by the Koran will cause harm to parents. Islam illustrates that whether good or bad really depends on the parents' efforts in educating their children. Integrating gadgets in parenting practices can help parents provide modern education, but it also has bad effects if they are implemented incorrectly, therefore it requires effective supervision of children in today's digital era.

Authors: Ajao Abdullahi , Aborisade Wakili
Published: July 2024

Reactive Black 5 (RB-5) dye is extensively used in industries such as textile, paper, and leather, raising environmental concerns due to its persistence and adverse effects. This study aimed to develop efficient and eco-friendly strategies for RB-5 dye removal from industrial wastewater. RB-5 dye-degrading bacteria, namely NAF1, NAF2, NAF3, and NAF4, were isolated from soil contaminated with textile effluents. Evaluation of their decolorization potential revealed NAF4 as the most effective, achieving a decolorization percentage of 89%, followed by NAF3 and the co-culture at 75% and 73%, respectively. NAF2 exhibited the lowest decolorization potential. The isolate NAF4 showed significant production of tyrosinase and laccase enzymes, with lower quantities of lignin peroxidase and azoreductase. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the identities of the isolates as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Escherichia, and Citrobacter. The decolorization potential exhibited by Bacillus wiedmannii NAF4 has instigated the investigation of its capacity to secrete degradative enzymes implicated in the breakdown of azo dyes. Substantial enzyme production was observed over a duration of 192 hours. The biodegradation potential of B. wiedmannii strain NAF4 for RB-5 dye was assessed using Surface Response Optimization (SRO) modeling. The optimized conditions for RB-5 degradation were determined to be an agitation speed of 115.777 rpm, pH of 7.449, inoculum size of 12.255, and temperature of 29.74°C. The SRO model exhibited high statistical significance with an F-value of 53.30 and low p-values (<0.0001), as well as a correlation coefficient (R2) value of 0.9813. Validation studies confirmed the adequacy and precision of the model. The maximum RB-5 degradation achieved was 90.2291%. Three-dimensional plots visually represented the validated optimum conditions of variables and responses. The successful application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) as an optimization tool highlights its effectiveness in enhancing degradation processes. This study provides insights into the potential applicability of RSM for optimizing degradation processes in various contexts. The developed eco-friendly strategies offer promising solutions for RB-5 dye removal from industrial wastewater, mitigating its environmental impact.In conclusion, the application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) as an optimization tool proved effective in maximizing the degradation process by optimizing the degradation parameters. The success of this approach suggests its potential applicability in other contexts to enhance degradation processes.

Authors: Al-Kaabi Ahmad Basem , Davati Nafiseh , Karami Mostafa
Published: July 2024

Controlling the development of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms is critical for food manufacturers to preserve their products. Cheese provides favourable conditions for microbial growth and oxidative degradation due to the presence of water, fat, protein, and minerals. The present work thus aimed to determine the influence of Nigella sativa L. essential oil on microbial growth and oxidative stability of cheese made from fresh milk. The analysis of the chemical composition of N. sativa essential oil was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The main compounds detected were 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (27.96%), cis-vaccenic acid (20.69%), 6-epi-shyobunol (7.08%), benzene, 1-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl)- (6.33%), n-hexadecanoic acid (3.86%), o-cymene (2.77%), and cis-4-methoxy thujane (2.71%). The antioxidant activity of N. sativa essential oil was calculated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method with IC50 = 8.08 μg/mL. The microdilution test showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of N. sativa essential oil for all pathogens was 500 μg/mL, while the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 1,000 μg/mL for Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus, and 2,000 μg/mL for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The physicochemical properties of the cheese showed that the addition of essential oil did not affect the dry matter, but increased the pH, decreased the % acidity, and decreased the peroxide value compared to the control sample (sample without essential oil). In addition, the essential oil reduced the bacterial and fungal counts of the cheese compared to the control sample, and affected the sensory characteristics of the cheese during the 90-day storage period. Results also showed that the addition of 0.5% essential oil of N. sativa not only prevented microbial growth and oxidative degradation, but also improved the taste and overall acceptability of cheese.

Published: July 2024

Hypsizygus marmoreus mushroom is known for its pleasant flavour and delicious taste. However, its flavour quality deteriorates rapidly during postharvest storage. In the present work, we explored the dynamic changes in flavour-presenting substances and taste components in H. marmoreus packaged in polyethylene nanofilm (0.05 mm) during low temperature storage (12 days). We used headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyse the volatile flavour components; high performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyse the non-volatile flavour (taste-presenting) substances (e.g., soluble sugars, taste nucleotides, free amino acids, and organic acids); and the relative odour activity value (ROAV) and taste active value (TAV) methods to determine the flavour substances in fresh and stored H. marmoreus. Results revealed that n-octanal, 1-octene-3-one, and 1-octene-3-ol were the characteristic volatile flavour substances, and that trans-2-octenal was the key substance affecting the formation of volatile flavours in fresh H. marmoreus. Trans,trans-2,4-nonadienal, and 3-octanone were the key volatile substances that resulted in flavour deterioration. Among the non-volatile flavour substances, trehalose, 5'-GMP, glutamic acid, alanine, and arginine were the key taste-presenting substances. In addition, oxalic acid and lysine were the key taste substances after H. marmoreus deterioration. These results provided a theoretical basis for rapid quality detection, flavour identification, and shelf-life prediction of H. marmoreus.

Cybersecurity Implications of Edge Computing in Data Engineering
Authors: Desani Nithin Reddy
Published: July 2024

Edge computing, as an extension of cloud computing, brings computation and data storage closer to the data source. This shift offers significant advantages in terms of latency reduction, bandwidth optimization, and real-time processing capabilities. By minimizing the distance that data needs to travel, edge computing enhances the performance of applications that require rapid data processing and immediate response times. This is particularly beneficial for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, autonomous vehicles, smart grids, and other applications that demand low-latency interactions. However, the decentralization inherent in edge computing introduces a unique set of cybersecurity challenges that are distinct from those faced in traditional centralized cloud environments. The distributed architecture of edge computing creates numerous points of vulnerability, each of which can be exploited by cyber attackers. Additionally, edge devices often operate with limited computational resources and power, which complicates the implementation of robust security measures. This paper explores the cybersecurity implications of edge computing in the context of data engineering. It begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature to establish the current understanding of edge computing security issues. The review identifies the primary vulnerabilities associated with edge computing, including those related to distributed architecture, data transmission, and resource constraints. Following the literature review, the paper delves into specific security threats that edge computing environments face. These include man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, malware and ransomware, and insider threats. Each threat is analyzed to understand its potential impact on edge computing systems and the data they process.

A la luz del desarrollo de las teorías del espacio literario y el estudio del espacio en la escritura de Roberto Bolaño, en este artículo se pretende poner de manifiesto cómo se construye el espacio en la obra 2666 (2004). La premisa del estudio consiste en tratar el espacio como una existencia social, histórica, cultural, política y multidimensional, y considerar la influencia combinada de imaginación, memoria y experiencia personal de Bolaño en su producción, de manera que podamos visualizar su universo complejo de historias, personajes y territorios y, al mismo tiempo, reflexionar sobre cuestiones espinosas como la asimetría del poder en el ámbito geográfico, conflictos entre centro y periferia, civilización y barbarie, etc.
Redes en revistas y revistas como redes: nuevos retos metodológicos
Authors: Ehrlicher Hanno
Published: July 2024

Durante mucho tiempo, en el marco de los estudios sobre literatura, las revistas fueron consideradas meros contenedores de los que se extraían determinados tipos de textos o producciones de autores específicos, por lo general, de los ya canonizados. Más allá de esa función, la revista no se apreciaba como un medio en sí, a pesar de que tanto su forma de presentación como su orden interno impregnan también indudablemente la percepción y recepción de la literatura. Pero esto ha empezado a cambiar desde hace ya algún tiempo y los investigadores toman cada vez más en cuenta la medialidad intrínseca de las revistas, la cual gana en interés, precisamente, a medida que se va superando el libro-centrismo tradicional. Como objeto multimodal que integra diferentes actores y varias dimensiones de producción y recepción de la literatura, la revista no es solo una plataforma en la que se plasman redes intelectuales y literarias existentes, sino que también forma activamente nuevas redes.
Partiendo, sobre todo, de las recientes digitalizaciones de Amauta, en este artículo se reflexionará sobre algunos de los nuevos retos metodológicos que conlleva el enfoque del análisis de redes a la hora de aplicarlo al “pequeño archivo” (Frank, Podewski y Scherer, 2009) de las revistas en formato digital.
Identidades transgresoras, contraespacios y devenir en la literatura menor de Mario Bellatin
Authors: Silva Valeria Daniela
Published: July 2024

Este artículo expone una lectura teórico-crítica de las novelas Damas chinas (2006), Perros héroes: Tratado sobre el futuro de América Latina (2011) y Carta sobre los ciegos para uso de los que ven (2017) del escritor peruano-mexicano Mario Bellatin. El objetivo es demostrar que el valor de la literatura de Bellatin reside en: su técnica y estética experimental trastocada por la tradición kafkiana, en la presentación de existencias fronterizas o liminales y en la aparición permanente del animal en los heterotópicos escenarios ficcionales que despliega.
A partir de una revisión teórica basada en concepciones como literatura menor, devenir, animalidad, y comunidades transgresoras, se dialoga con los textos presentados, planteando ciertas proposiciones que explican la relación indisociable y de poder entre hombre y animal.
Estrategias de posicionamiento de los sellos independientes de ciencias sociales. El caso de Ediciones del Signo
Authors: Velázquez Gustavo
Published: July 2024

La edición independiente representa un amplio y complejo sector, compuesto por diversos sellos que proponen obras valiosas para la cultura escrita. Las editoriales abocadas a la publicación de textos de ciencias sociales, especialmente, se caracterizan por la divulgación de obras que plantean la reflexión en torno a determinadas problemáticas sociales o bien, acompañan la visibilización de ciertos debates, tales como las desigualdades económicas, culturales y sexuales. En ocasiones, los catálogos que presentan estos sellos, que generalmente se componen de ensayos e investigaciones académicas, le permite a los editores ubicarse dentro de círculos intelectuales específicos e intervenir en el espacio público. Por tanto, estos agentes apelan a diversas formas de publicación para obtener reconocimiento entre los pares y los potenciales lectores.
El presente artículo aborda las estrategias de posicionamiento de las editoriales independientes de ciencias sociales dentro del campo editorial argentino, a partir del estudio de Ediciones del Signo. Este es un pequeño sello de corte académico, que se especializa en la producción de libros sobre descolonialidad, característica que le ha permitido la circulación dentro del mundo académico y editorial. En tal sentido, se analizan una serie de prácticas llevadas a cabo por los editores de este proyecto, las cuales les han permitido obtener cierto grado de reconocimiento, el acceso a posiciones intelectuales y la posibilidad de intervenir en el espacio público.
Modelado de datos para el estudio de redes en revistas culturales y literarias: estudio de caso con trece publicaciones colombianas
Authors: Penagos Jaramillo Danilo , Vargas Castro Nancy
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de este texto es mostrar algunos de los métodos utilizados para estudiar las revistas culturales y literarias colombianas de finales del siglo XIX y de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Para ello, se hace una breve descripción de un modelo de captura y análisis de datos, partiendo de los archivos hemerográficos digitalizados y en proceso de digitalización en el marco del proyecto Digitization and Analysis of Cultural Transfers in Colombian Literary Magazines (1892–1950). Con la información recolectada en este modelo, se presenta un método inicial para abstraer la red de revistas del corpus, a partir de los colaboradores publicados y su visualización como una ventana de observación a las dinámicas y a los procesos de transferencia cultural propiciados por estos impresos periódicos. Este método es una forma alternativa de entender dichos objetos de estudio, aunque presenta ciertos desafíos metodológicos como la recolección y la limpieza de datos, o la dispersión del archivo hemerográfico.

Authors: Ochoa Bilbao Luis
Published: July 2024

El objetivo del artículo es examinar las ideas de tres destacados pensadores mexicanos del siglo XIX sobre el incipiente sistema internacional. El propósito es identificar los conceptos y opiniones de estos autores que fueron actores y testigos del surgimiento del sistema internacional durante ese momento histórico. El trabajo se basa en la revisión documental de algunos textos clásicos de cada autor. La investigación presenta esa primigenia concepción de lo internacional a partir de la mirada y experiencia de los autores, quienes fueron capaces de reconocer a los actores y la estructura del moderno sistema internacional en plena construcción.
Autorías impostadas y protagonismos silenciados. Un análisis sobre la emergencia de las voces femeninas en El Zonda (San Juan, 1839)
Authors: Rueda Barboza María Inés
Published: July 2024

En San Juan, no se conocen –al menos para el siglo XIX- periódicos que fueran escritos por y para mujeres. La prensa local, destinada fundamentalmente al público lector masculino, contó con pocos espacios explícitamente construidos para las lectoras. El Zonda, publicado en 1839, fue el primer periódico sanjuanino en escribir sobre las mujeres, en considerarlas parte del público lector y en darles –ficcionalmente- un espacio a sus voces. El presente trabajo busca reponer estas últimas, atendiendo no sólo a las condiciones que posibilitaron su intervención en el periódico, sino también a los propósitos y recursos que fueron empleados por sus autores. Nos interesa indagar en los momentos de emergencia de la palabra femenina, pero también en los silencios y las ausencias.
Imágenes y representaciones a través de los caminos cordilleranos
Authors: Sosa Rementería Emilce N.
Published: July 2024

El trabajo propuesto fue presentado como Conferencia Inaugural en el marco del III Congreso Nacional e Internacional de Historia del Arte, Cultura y Sociedad, “Viajes, Encuentros y Mestizajes en Latinoamérica, Africa y Europa”, en la Universidad de la Laguna, llevado a cabo durante el 2022 en San Cristobal de La Laguna, Tenerife, Islas Canarias, España. Nuestro marco espacial será analizado a partir de las representaciones sociales durante el siglo XVIII y el XIX, en el que se explicará la importancia de los caminos en el territorio cordillerano, siendo este un lugar que permitió al reino la administración de la colonia en uno de los lugares más australes del continente americano. Por lo tanto, las vías de comunicación han representado un elemento fundamental en la investigación, dado que el desarrollo de las ciudades y los caminos constituyeron para el reino uno de los asuntos más importantes para la administración. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente propuesta es analizar los caminos y su circulación, desde una perspectiva histórico-cultural a partir de la identificación de procesos culturales vinculados a los viajes y a los itinerarios culturales, a fin de establecer un aporte a la construcción identitaria, y la apropiación cultural, expresadas a través del entorno propio y característico de la ciudad de Mendoza.
Todo lo oculto sale a la luz
Authors: Sola Antequera Domingo
Published: July 2024

Los estudios realizados sobre la obra de J.K. Rowling han profundizado en diferentes aspectos sobre los referentes utilizados por la escritora británica para la creación de la saga literaria sobre Harry Potter. Entre todos ellos nos han interesado las constantes referencias al cristianismo, que ya abordamos en otros trabajos, y que mostraban la estrecha relación de la escritora con los relatos de Tolkien o Lewis, autores de los que la escritora británica se considera heredera. Todo ello ofrece lecturas transversales de su trabajo, de su creación de cosmos mítico y performativo. Con este trabajo pretendemos dar un paso más allá profundizando en la hipertextualidad de sus relatos para analizar los elementos de tradición judía que incorpora tanto en la narración como en el diseño de personajes pues, con ello, intentaremos demostrar cómo la religión se conforma en un elemento cohesionador e identitario de sus relatos.
De Lilith a Eva Perón
Authors: Higueras Rodríguez Virginia E.
Published: July 2024

A lo largo de la Historia del Arte, encontramos una clara diferencia entre los dos estereotipos femeninos representados: la femme fatale, heredera de Lilith y la madonnavirginal, que encuentra en Eva su homónima bíblica. La cultura audiovisual se ha apropiado de esta iconografía, perpetuando los arquetipos a lo largo de los siglos. A finales de la década de los setenta, veinte años después de la muerte de Eva Perón, el compositor Andrew Lloyd Webber, explora en forma de musical, junto al letrista Tim Rice, la tumultuosa existencia de una mujer que pasó de femme fatale a ser canonizada por parte de la población argentina. Nuestra propuesta pretende poner de manifiesto el origen decimonónico de los arquetipos femeninos que se mantendrán a lo largo de la obra de este compositor.
