Published: December 2024

Child exploitation in Indonesia, especially by parents in the practice of begging, is a serious problem that violates children's human rights. This research analyzes law enforcement against criminal acts of child exploitation based on Law No. 23/2002 on Child Protection, which prohibits economic exploitation and provides strict sanctions. Despite the legal provisions, implementation and law enforcement still face significant challenges, including economic factors, low parental education, and social norms that consider begging as normal. This research uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and case approach to evaluate the application of the law and provide recommendations. The results show that the lack of legal awareness and rehabilitation support for victims hinders the effectiveness of protection. Therefore, collaboration between the government, law enforcement officials, and the community is needed to raise awareness about children's rights, strengthen law enforcement, and provide sustainable social interventions. With concrete steps, it is hoped that the protection of children from exploitation can be effectively realized.
Batasan Pembelaan Korban Terpaksa
Authors: Maulana Maulana  , Tamam Tamam
Published: December 2024

This journal aims to enhance public understanding of the limitations of necessary defense (noodweer) in the context of robbery crimes (begal) in Indonesia. Necessary defense is a concept in criminal law that allows individuals to protect themselves or others from unlawful attacks that threaten safety, honor, or property. In the context of robbery crimes, where victims often face direct threats to their lives and safety, it is crucial to understand the conditions that must be met for this defense to be legally valid. This research employs a normative legal approach with an analysis of the Indonesian Penal Code (KUHP) and related literature. The findings indicate that while necessary defense is recognized in law, its application must consider proportionality and the underlying circumstances of the actions taken. Thus, this paper aims to provide a better understanding of necessary defense in robbery cases and its implications for law enforcement in Indonesia.

Published: December 2024

The practice of vote-buying and money politics in elections is a common issue found in the democratic process, which contradicts the principles of Islamic law. Offering money or basic necessities to the public with the intention of influencing votes is considered bribery. Transactions between legislative candidates and voters in exchange for certain rewards raise serious ethical and legal concerns from an Islamic perspective. In Islamic law, transactions that involve uncertainty (gharar), manipulation, and dishonesty are not permissible because they go against the principles of justice, transparency, and integrity outlined in Sharia. Vote-buying is regarded as an act that corrupts trust (amanah), as candidates involved fail to fulfill the rights and trust granted by the voters. This practice also creates social injustice, as it can unfairly affect election results and harm the interests of the broader society. Therefore, from the perspective of Islamic law, vote-buying is not only considered haram but also violates the fundamental principles of muamalah, which demand fairness and honesty in every transaction.

Published: December 2024

Batak Toba is a tribe with strong customs in Indonesia. One of the applicable values ​​and norms is regarding the process of dividing inheritance among descendants. The existence of male descendants in Toba Batak society is very important to continue the clan. However, not all family members have male offspring. So, the tradition of buying clan (manuhor clan) emerged to overcome this. This phenomenon gives rise to differences in the distribution of inheritance for biological male descendants and male descendants of the clan. This writing provides an understanding of the legal review of the process of dividing customary inheritance for biological male descendants and sons belonging to the clan in Batak Toba. This problem will be studied using normative methods with the perspective of Toba Batak traditional inheritance law through legal studies, journals and research that has been carried out by previous researchers. This writing discusses the implementation of inheritance distribution between biological sons and sons who bear the clan in Batak Toba based on previous research analysis and community customs. The originality of this research explains the role of customary inheritance law that applies in the Toba Batak community in the process of dividing inheritance between biological sons and sons of the clan by showing the similarities and differences that occur.

Effects of flubendiamide and lead exposure on circulating thyroid hormone levels in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves
Authors: Ranjan Amita , Dumka Vinod Kumar , Parsoya Rahini , Ranjan Rakesh
Published: December 2024

The current investigation aimed to find how exposure to lead and flubendiamide affected the amounts of thyroid hormone levels in buffalo calves’ blood. For ninety days, male buffalo calves were given lead acetate orally at a rate of 9.2 mg/kg bw/day and flubendiamide orally at a rate of 0.024 mg/kg bw/day, either in combination or separately. T3 and T4 levels in blood decreased in response to both flubendiamide and lead exposure alone. When lead and flubendiamide were administered together, the animals’ T3 and T4 levels declined less than when lead and flubendiamide were administered separately. TSH activity increased markedly in rats exposed to both lead and flubendiamide, but not consistently in animals treated with flubendiamide alone. Results of the present study indicated thyrotoxic potential of flubendiamide and lead in buffalo calves. However, further study is required to elucidate the mechanism of thyrotoxic potential of flubendiamide and to understand the interactive effects of these two toxicants on thyroid function in mammals.

The efficient utilization of essential rice nutrients, particularly nitrogen, depends on the availability of water. Field experiments were conducted in farmers' fields in Pototan, Iloilo, for two dry seasons, to evaluate the best location-specific fertilizer management strategy suited for irrigated lowland rice under different water regimes. The verification trials were conducted in irrigated rice fields in 2002-2003 dry season at barangays Cahaguikican and Igang, both in Pototan town Province of Iloilo. In 2003-2004 dry season, the test was only conducted in Igang, Pototan. The treatments were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with four replications using a plot size of 30 square meters.Treatments were tested as to (a) farmer's actual practice, (b) growth stage-based N application (120 kg N/ha, 40 kg P₂O₅ /ha, and 40 kg K₂O/ha), (c) leaf color chart (LCC) - based N application. Results in Cahaguikican, Pototan showed that the LCC-based nitrogen application is suited for the site. In Igang, Pototan, the farmer's fertilizer management practice is cost-efficient under continuously flooded condition. However, if irrigation is done once a week, the LCC-based nitrogen application of fertilizer is recommended.

O rosto linguístico e a desrostificação literária
Authors: Fraga dos Santos Pedro
Published: December 2024

RESUMO: Embora Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari não sejam os primeiros a tratar do problema do rosto como campo expressivo dos afetos, eles lhe darão um novo entendimento sob duas vias: os rostos concretos e a rostidade como máquina abstrata. A primeira via implica três condições que o rosto carrega (afetividade, individuação e socialização) e a segunda diz respeito a dois eixos (subjetividade e significação). Este trabalho parte do caminho aberto por esses pensadores e afirma que a Literatura e a Filosofia seriam capazes, através de seus próprios meios de criação, de desfazer o rosto. Nesse sentido, elas abririam caminhos para novas experimentações fora do modelo significacional, em Arte, e afastado do modelo subjetivo, em Filosofia. Teríamos, portanto, campos afetivos fora das afecções e conceitos filosóficos que não remetem a uma Filosofia do sujeito. Ao longo deste artigo, com Kafka e Proust, verificaremos como desfazer os rostos, implica, então, a abertura de novos caminhos para a Literatura e para a Filosofia e os perigos que se encontram nessa travessia.
Da imaginação à fabulação
Authors: Ribeiro Guimarães Vinci Christian Fernando
Published: December 2024

Esse ensaio apresentará uma primeira incursão sobre a relação entre a faculdade de imaginação e a faculdade de fabulação no pensamento de Gilles Deleuze, atento para o importante papel que certas experimentações literárias assumiram para a apreensão tanto do uso superior de cada uma dessas faculdades quanto seus eventuais usos ilegítimos. Compreendemos que o atravessamento dessas experimentações literárias permitiu ao filósofo francês tensionar o aprendizado filosófico com uma apreensão não-filosófica, levando-o a modificar sua leitura sobre o papel de cada uma dessas faculdades ao longo de sua obra e sua relevância para o exercício filosófico.
Tosquelles e Guattari
Authors: Guéron Rodrigo
Published: December 2024

Este artigo pretende examinar como alguns conceitos operados por Francesc Tosquelles e Félix Guattari surgem a partir das práxis desses autores, inicialmente em instituições de saúde mental. A investigação chega em Tosquelles a partir de Guattari para mostrar como este último herda do seu colega catalão a práxis, o conceito e a concepção de psicoterapia institucional, ou de análise institucional. Esse conceito aparece no âmbito da crítica ao hospital psiquiátrico identificado como uma instituição legitimadora do capitalismo e corresponsável pelos sofrimentos psíquicos que, no diagnóstico de Tosquelles, seriam causados por essa forma de organização social da produção. O mais importante, no entanto, será a forma como Félix Guattari propõe que a análise institucional seja levada para diversas instituições e não apenas as de saúde mental. Será nesse contexto que aparecerão as práticas e os conceitos de transversalidade e de molecular, num percurso onde autores como Karl Marx, Franz Kafka, Franz Fanon e Gilles Deleuze são evocados nessa operação, na qual a práxis e a criação de conceitos acontecem no enfrentamento dos sofrimentos psíquicos e de patologias produzidas no coração da máquina social capitalista, e como uma característica desta.

“Dar voz” ou “dar ouvidos” aos subalternizados? O “Sul global” em perspectiva na obra de Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui
Authors: Silva Giovani José da
Published: December 2024

Nos últimos anos, no Brasil, o termo “decolonial” ganhou força e respaldo entre intelectuais das Ciências Sociais e Humanas, sobretudo por conta dos trabalhos do grupo Modernidade/Colonialidade (M/C), surgido nos anos 1990, formado por latino-americanos e americanistas. Antes, porém, do aparecimento do M/C, uma socióloga e historiadora boliviana de origem Aymará, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, já apresentava reflexões e ações que, ao invés de decoloniais prefere chamar de descolonizantes/descolonizadoras. Apesar de mais de 40 anos de atuação intelectual e política, sobretudo em movimentos libertários andinos, Rivera Cusicanqui ainda é pouco conhecida no ambiente acadêmico brasileiro. Por meio da leitura e da análise de suas obras, bem como de seus intérpretes, é possível desvendar a originalidade das propostas realizadas por ela, sempre de maneira coletiva e colaborativa. O objetivo do artigo é apresentar, ainda que parcialmente, seu pensamento-sentimento-movimento, mostrando a importância de formulações teórico-práticas para as ações-reflexões a respeito da história do tempo presente na América Latina, em particular na Bolívia, seu país de origem. A partir dos trabalhos desenvolvidos inicialmente no Taller de Historia Oral Andina (THOA), do qual a intelectual-ativista foi uma das cofundadoras, é possível vislumbrar formas outras de se fazer-pensar os registros das oralidades, bem como seus usos e possíveis abusos. Além disso, o mundo ch’ixi preconizado por ela, notadamente em suas últimas obras, permite combater a “ventriloquia decolonial” (que pretende falar pelos subalternizados), avançando de discursos para práticas que, de fato, incidam sobre a descolonização de saberes e fazeres.
Escritas aprisionadas: fontes (im)possíveis para a História do Tempo Presente
Authors: Borges Viviane Trindade
Published: December 2024

Este artigo trata de produções escritas por prisioneiros comuns no século XX. A análise pretende analisar uma dimensão frequentemente negligenciada da história carcerária, e que pode oferecer uma visão interna importante sobre as experiências e dinâmicas do ambiente prisional. A primeira parte do texto procura identificar e contextualizar esses escritos, suas peculiaridades, possibilidades e limites, dialogando com diferentes autores. A análise perpassa disputas pela memória que se entrelaçam à dicotomia binária “presos políticos” e “presos comuns”. Por fim, o artigo explora como a pesquisa, a partir dessas fontes, pode ter desdobramentos voltados a um público mais amplo, refletindo sobre a criação de podcasts. Quais as intenções e possibilidades que possibilitam a criação de um produto que visa ampliar de audiências no campo da história? A prisão, como um problema social do tempo presente, é abordada aqui pelo prisma das experiências vividas e frequentemente silenciadas dos prisioneiros comuns, tornando-as o foco central da análise. Ao estudar as produções escritas dos detentos, pretende-se revelar a subjetividade e a agência dos indivíduos encarcerados, proporcionando uma perspectiva valiosa sobre a vida na prisão e as práticas institucionais.
História pública e pesquisa participativa no tempo presente: corpo e oralidade em um laboratório engajado
Authors: Almeida Juniele Rabêlo de
Published: December 2024

Este artigo propõe reflexões sobre a interface entre história pública, pesquisa participativa, história oral e corporeidade a partir das orientações teórico-metodológicas do Laboratório de História Oral e Imagem da Universidade Federal Fluminense (LABHOI/UFF, criado em 1982). Busca-se observar os acervos de história oral construídos a partir de práticas participativas de pesquisa, que incluem formas corporais de narrativa públicas – percepção dos passados presentes nos corpos em trabalhos socialmente engajados. Discutem-se os processos de pesquisa que não minimizam o papel do corpo na construção do sujeito histórico.
Assessment of the Impact of Government Health Expenditure on Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Musa Ibrahim , Ismail Yahaya , Magaji Sule
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the impact of government health expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria between 1992 and 2021 using the ordinary least squares model which was used to perform the estimation for the variables that were determined to be stationary at first difference were evaluated for stationarity. According to the model’s estimated results, neither of the independent variables government capital or recurrent health spending has a discernible impact on Nigeria’s economic expansion. The independent variables were not significantly significant, this could be attributed to the lack of strength of indirect effects and the time lag between ongoing healthcare costs and the overall economy. Additionally, in Nigeria, poor machine quality, unfinished projects, and corrupt officials might be blamed for health expenditures, which decreased the standard of healthcare and general wellness. The study recommended that the government should put in place the facilities needed for people to use healthcare and to maximize wellbeing to improve health outcomes and the government should ensure efficiency and transparency of health expenditure, alongside increased investment in the health sector to stimulate sustainable economic growth in Nigeria.
Das AfD-Verbot in der Sackgasse?
Authors: Martin Eva Isabell , Siebrecht Sven , Wiesenthal Janosch
Published: December 2024

Nach vielen Monaten der öffentlichen Diskussion um die Einleitung eines Parteiverbotsverfahrens gegen die AfD liegt dem Bundestag nun eine fraktionsübergreifende Beschlussvorlage zur Abstimmung vor. Doch von der Einbringung der Beschlussvorlage in den Bundestag bis zur Einreichung einer entsprechenden Antragsschrift in Karlsruhe ist es noch ein weiter Weg, der infolge vorgezogener Neuwahlen und der damit einhergehenden Diskontinuität des Bundestages vorerst in eine Sackgasse führen dürfte.
The ICC Under a New Threat
Authors: Eboe-Osuji Chile
Published: December 2024

Since the ICC announced arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant, the world has started to observe open equivocation from France and other European states about executing those arrest warrants. This inevitably raises the question whether it had been too easy in the past for nations of the West to profess “unflinching support” for the ICC when all the accused persons were Africans; even though the conducts of some of them (consider, for instance, the defendants from Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire) came nowhere close to the extravagant cruelty on full display in Gaza, despite rulings of the International Court of Justice and the relentless appeals of the UN Secretary General.
Optimizing Diabetes Prediction: An Evaluation of Machine Learning Models Through Strategic Feature Selection

Published: December 2024

Diabetes, a widespread chronic ailment in the United States, imposes significant economic and health burdens, impacting quality of life and life expectancy. This study analyzes a clinical dataset of 253,680 patients from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The dataset encompasses 21 predictors, including high blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), smoking, stroke, heart disease, physical activity, fruit consumption, vegetable consumption, alcohol consumption, insurance coverage, lack of medical visits due to financial constraints, general health, days with mental health issues, days with physical injuries in the past 30 days, difficulties in walking, gender, age, income, and education level. The objective is to balance the training dataset, compare different supervised machine learning models, and identify critical clinical features contributing to diabetes using unsupervised feature selection methods. A total of 34 machine learning models in MATLAB2023a were trained and compared. Quadratic Support Vector Machine (SVM), Coarse Gaussian SVM, and Narrow Neural Networks achieved the highest training accuracy (76.3%), while the Bilayered Neural Network attained 74.7% on an unseen test dataset. Among all, Quadratic SVM demonstrated the best overall performance based on average accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Feature selection highlighted nine key predictors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, BMI, heart disease, physical activity, general health, recent bodily injuries, mobility issues, and age. A model trained on these features achieved a commendable accuracy of 75.4%, demonstrating the feasibility of a simplified, efficient diagnostic tool with a diagnostic efficacy of 0.7.
This study underscores the potential of streamlined models to predict diabetes with fewer parameters while maintaining high accuracy, offering a valuable tool for healthcare diagnostics.
