Comparison of the Population of Soil-Inhabiting Nematoda in The Context of Pesticide Application with an Observation on Their Trophic Groups
Authors: Sen Debabrata , Deb Roy Samprit
Published: January 2025

Soil-inhabiting Nematodes are agriculturally important for significant loss of crop production as well as for their beneficial role in soil ecosystem. During a visit to Bali Island of Indian Sundarbans, West Bengal, India, few soil samples were collected from agricultural fields. As reported by the villagers, some fields were applied with pesticides like Furadon (carbofuran 3% g) and Phorate (Phorate 10% g organophosphate) and some were without any pesticide. Both of these pesticides have nematicidal effects besides being contact and systemic insecticide. The collected soil samples were processed by Cobb’s Sieving and Decantation Method followed by modified Baermann Funnel Technique to extract the nematodes. The populations of nematodes were counted with the help of a counting dish and a hand tally counting machine under a stereo zoom microscope following standard method. The soils applied with pesticides, collected from cauliflower and tomato fields, showed a lesser population count of 26 and 98 nematodes respectively in 250 gm. of soil for each of the samples, whereas the population count for the soils without pesticides from vegetable and paddy fields were 293 and 625 nematodes respectively in the same quantity of soils. The nematodes were identified up to the generic level and presence of twelve genera was observed which indicates an idea about their trophic groups in the soil micro-habitat of agro-ecosystem being associated with the mangrove ecosystem (‘ecotone’ of terrestrial and marine ecosystem) of Sundarbans. So this observation can be considered as various trophic levels of nematodes in an ‘ecotone’. Soils with the pesticides showed only two trophic groups (omnivorous and predatory-omnivore), whereas soil without pesticides revealed four trophic groups (plant and hyphal feeder, omnivorous, bacterial feeder and predatory) of nematodes. The difference in population in different soils was statistically analyzed to show the relation between the nematode population in the soil applied with pesticides and without pesticides.

Published: January 2025

Ascidians are one of the significant bio-fouling organisms causes great economic loss, as they grow on offshore shellfish and finfish culture system, ship hulls, pontoons, jetties, buoys etc. This study carried out to estimate the fouling preferences of ascidians in variation with depth, season, and substrate at Pongibalu (natural reef) (11°30.958’N; 92°39.201’E) and North Bay (artificial reef) (11°43.006’N; 92°45.465’E) of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Panels (concrete, glass, ceramic and metal) of 30 X 20 cm2 were placed at the depth of 10 m and 20 m from January 2015 to December 2015 by SCUBA diving. The data collection was made in every four months interval. Altogether 35 species of ascidians belonging to five families were settled on the panels including 12 species under the family Didemnidae. A total of 29 species of ascidians were recorded from Pongibalu whereas, only nine species were recorded from the North Bay during the study period. It is interesting to note that, Pyura lanka was found on the settlement panels only, instead of reef areas of Pongibalu; similarly, Symplegma brakenhielmi and Symplegma rubra were observed on the panels at North Bay although they were not observed in the reef areas of North Bay during the study period. Both P. lanka and S. brakenhielmi is considered as cryptogenic in nature and status of S. rubra is yet to be established. Among four types of settlement panels, concrete and ceramic panels showed significant coverage of ascidian settlement at both experimental stations. It was observed during the study that the panels of natural reef area showed the higher diversity, species richness, lesser dominance, and lesser coverage. Whereas, panels of artificial reef areas showed lesser diversity and species richness, and higher dominance (90.20%) of three species coverage which indicates an early sign of species invasion.

Published: January 2025

The British carried out the amphibian study in pre-independence India, and it was only in the 1920s that Indian researchers, such as Rao, initiated the studies, which were largely conducted in the Western Ghats. The first amphibian species described from the state of Karnataka was in 1853. Since then, amphibian discoveries in Karnataka have seen a dramatic rise, with the number of new species discovered has now reached 61 species. The amphibian checklist for the state Karnataka was first made in 2013 with 88 species, later in 2015 it accounted for 92 species and now it is 102 species. In the present checklist for the Karnataka state, species diversity has been categorised into the state’s agro-climatic zones. Our studies suggested that the highest species diversity was encountered in the Hilly Agro-climatic zones of Karnataka (HZ) with 89 species, followed by the Southern Transition Zone (STZ) with 24 species; the least species diversity was encountered in the North Eastern Transition Zone (NETZ) and North Eastern Dry Zone (NEDZ) with six species diversity. Among the ‘Threatened species category’ four species were categorised as Critically Endangered, 14 as Endangered and five species as Vulnerable.

Abstract
Islamic boarding schools as educational institutions that focus on religion, have a very large share in educating the lives of the nation's children. Most boarding schools to date still have classic problems related to sanitation, hygiene. The cleanliness and health of students in boarding schools are still not prioritized, causing skin diseases that are easily transmitted to students. In supporting the lives of students in boarding schools, it is important for students to maintain the cleanliness of the pesantren environment and maintain personal hygiene, namely by implementing Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). Providing education through the delivery of healthy management materials in the style of santri through the application of PHBS begins with the preparation, implementation and evaluation stages. This activity involved 100 santriwan and santriwati SMP-IT Pondok Pesantren Asshohwah Al-Islamiyah, Gerung, West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Delivery of material through counseling, mentoring, and guidance to students on how to maintain cleanliness and health through PHBS. The evaluation stage is carried out by assessing the students' understanding of the material that has been delivered. This service activity is not enough to provide education, but there needs to be a follow-up observation and monitoring of the implementation of school PHBS so that students really maintain cleanliness and health, thus obtaining healthy students for a strong Indonesia, from students for the country.

Authors: Öztürk Güzin Z. , Demir İlknur , Yılmaz Zeynep U.
Published: January 2025

Background: The COVID-19 vaccine, CoronaVac, and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, PCV13, are part of Türkiye's adult
immunization programme to reduce COVID-19 severity and mortality among older adults.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of CoronaVac and PCV13 vaccines on hospitalized patients aged ≥ 65 years in Türkiye.
Methods: This retrospective descriptive study included 365 patients aged ≥ 65 years admitted to the COVID-19 wards and
intensive care unit of Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital in Türkiye between March and June 2021. We
evaluated vaccine efficacy among patients at ≥ 14 days and < 14 days after the second dose. We analysed the data using
SPSS version 20.0 and compared proportions in independent groups using χ2
test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically
significant.
Results: Intensive care unit admission was lower (25.3%) among patients vaccinated with CoronaVac than among
unvaccinated patients (38.5%), and mortality rate was significantly lower (16.9% vs 32.7%) among vaccinated patients.
Mortality decreased significantly with the number of vaccine doses. No significant relationship was found between
PCV13 vaccination and mortality or intensive care unit admission, but mortality was lower among vaccinated patients.
Conclusion: CoronaVac significantly reduced intensive care unit admissions and mortality among older COVID-19
patients. Although PCV13 did not show a significant reduction in mortality, its observed benefit supports continued
pneumococcal vaccination among older populations.

Background: Since the introduction of vaccination in Oman in 1981, measles incidence has decreased, and Oman achieved
measles elimination in 2019. Measles cases in the country are currently import-related.
Aim: To understand the measles immunity profile of the Omani population and identify high-risk groups.
Methods: A total of 1990 anonymous blood samples out of 2032 samples collected from all regional referral hospitals and
one private laboratory in Oman from November 2015 to January 2016 were tested for measles immunoglobulin G. We
grouped the study population into 4 birth cohorts and analysed the data using SPSS version 16.0. We used the χ2
to test
for statistical significance and used Kruskal-Wallis test to calculate the geometric mean for each age group. P < 0.05 was
considered statistically significant.
Results: The overall measles seropositivity was 84.0%. Seronegativity was significantly higher among the 15–20 years
(34.0%) and 20–35 years (24.0%) age groups. There was no significant difference in seropositivity by gender and nationality.
Seropositivity was 72.7% in the 1987–1996 cohort and 70.1% in the 1997–2006 cohort. The mean measles antibody level was
2318.5 IU/ml
Conclusion: This study revealed a measles immunity gap among some age groups in Oman, indicating the need for
sustained high vaccination coverage, robust surveillance, targeted vaccination campaigns, and timely outbreak response
Wave Transmission Analysis of Timoshenko Beam Junction with Mindlin Plates Connected in the Same Plane
Authors: Park Young-Ho
Published: January 2025

Energy flow analysis (EFA) models that account for significant shear deformation and the rotatory inertia effects in out-of-plane motion are essential for performing reliable EFA of practical composite structures, such as large ships or offshore platforms. The power coefficients for transmitted and reflected waves caused by incident waves at arbitrary angles in the incident Mindlin plate were derived by analyzing the displacement fields of semi-infinite Mindlin plates and an infinite Timoshenko beam. This enables the determination of the power transmission and reflection coefficients for diffuse fields, which are crucial for calculating the frequency-averaged vibrational power transfer relationship among coupled finite structures. The power transfer relationship, derived from the undamped wave solutions of the Mindlin plate and the Timoshenko beam, showed through numerical examples that the stiffening Timoshenko beam effectively insulates the Mindlin plate from out-of-plane vibrational power. Numerical analysis showed that the stiffening beam effectively blocks the vibrational power transmission of out-of-plane waves in the incident Mindlin plate. In addition, the power transmission and reflection tendencies of these waves vary with the cross-sectional size of the stiffening Timoshenko beam. This approach aims to enhance the reliability of vibrational analysis for stiffened plate structures.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT SMART MEDICAL BRACELET FOR ALZHEIMER’S PATIENT MONITORING BASED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Authors: Qassim Hadi Shahad , Ahmed Ali Mushtaq
Published: January 2025

Power efficiency is a critical consideration in the design of wearable IoT devices, particularly in applications requiring continuous monitoring, such as systems for Alzheimer's patient care. The proposed system employs a hybrid approach to reduce power consumption by combining hardware and software optimization techniques. Regarding hardware, selected low-power, compact components, including the ESP32 microcontroller, the Max30102 sensor, and GPS. These components were chosen not only for their minimal energy requirements but also for their small size, which enhances the wearability and comfort of the device for extended periods. On the software side, we implemented power management strategies through the deep sleep mode of the ESP32 microcontroller, which significantly reduces power consumption by placing the device in a near-off state, with only a single GPIO pin remaining active to control peripheral power. By selectively powering down sensors during inactive periods, we effectively decrease the device's energy usage, thereby extending battery life. The combined hardware-software approach yielded substantial improvements in power efficiency. Based on the calculations, using a 350 mAh battery, a 30-second active period, and a 5-minute deep sleep interval, achieved an average current draw of approximately 9.16 mA, resulting in a battery life of around 38.2 hours. Compared to previous work in the field, this is a huge improvement. This optimized design allowed to development of a lightweight, wearable prototype capable of monitoring vital signs, tracking patient location, and providing medication reminders. Data is transmitted to the cloud, enabling caregivers to monitor the health metrics of patients in real-time remotely. By integrating hardware and software optimizations, our IoT solution offers a sustainable, practical means of improving both patient safety and quality of life while alleviating the caregiving burden through efficient, long-lasting wearable technology.

Abstract
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this Statement, no new information was found that would change the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units (TUs). The TUs in the QPS list were updated based on a verification, against their respective authoritative databases, of the correctness of the names and completeness of synonyms. Of 54 microorganisms notified to EFSA between April and September 2024 (33 as feed additives, 17 as food enzymes or additives, 4 as novel foods), 50 were not evaluated because: 12 were filamentous fungi, 1 was Enterococcus faecium and 8 were Escherichia coli (all excluded from the QPS evaluation), and 29 were TUs that already have a QPS status. One notification (Ensifer adhaerens) was already evaluated in a previous Panel Statement. Another notification (Enterococcus lactis) was already evaluated in the previous 3‐year QPS cycle and was reassessed within this document. Two TUs were notified for the first time and were assessed for a possible QPS status: Serratia plymuthica and Lacticaseibacillus huelsenbergensis. Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus nakamurai have been assessed for a possible QPS status in response to internal requests. The following was concluded on the five assessed TUs. L. huelsenbergensis can be granted the QPS status based on its close relatedness to several other QPS Lacticaseibacillus species. E. lactis is not recommended for the QPS status due to insufficient information on safety. S. plymuthica and B. thuringiensis are not recommended for the QPS status due to safety concerns. B. nakamurai cannot be recommended for the QPS list due to a lack of body of knowledge for its use in the food and feed chain.

Published: January 2025

Cricket production in Indonesia has promising business potential, particularly in rural areas. However, production variability is often a major challenge for farmers to maintain economic stability. Therefore, production forecasting methods are needed for better management. This study aims to predict cricket production using Moving Average (MA) and Weighted Moving Average (WMA) methods and compare their accuracy. The research was conducted in Rejotangan District, Tulungagung, using 12 weeks of cricket production data from May to August 2024. The accuracy of the method was measured using Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). From this research, the best model that can be used to predict the amount of cricket production is the Weighted Moving Average (WMA) model with n = 4 with the lowest prediction accuracy value (MAD, MSE and MAPE) of 16.05, 514.513 and 10.985% respectively. From the forecasting results, the total production of crickets in the existing farm for one period ahead with the WMA model n = 4 is 150.9 kg.
POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF NAGA WOMEN IN ELECTORAL POLITICS
Authors: Murry Chibeni
Published: January 2025

Patriarchy is deeply rooted in the Naga society and men are taught to live and believe for centuries that women are inferior to men. This societal conditioning of men has made them perceive themselves as leaders. Women were always sidelined and were considered politically lacking the ability to govern. Therefore they were not given the opportunity to take part in the decision making process. This article seeks to study the political representation of Naga women and how they were politically marginalized as a result of societal norms and attitudes. In the past the societal discriminatory mindset has forced women to prioritize gender role as care givers rather than take part in decision making. However gradual changes have started taking place as we see few women coming out to participate in decision making. But more women still need to come forward as adequate representation of women is an indicator of gender political equality in a true democracy. The study will attempt to highlight the role and contribution of Naga women in the past, present and future of Naga politics in Nagaland.
RITUALS, TRAINING AND COMMUNITY BUILDING: UNDERSTANDING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE RENGMA NAGA MORUNG
Authors: Tep Gwasole
Published: January 2025

In the olden days, the most important institution was the morung or bachelor’s dormitories. It is also called as “Rensika” by the Rengma Nagas. The morung served as a traditional institution which imparted various skills of art and warfare, transmitted the customs and laws from generation to generation and morung evolved to meet the needs and requirements of society. There are different names like men's club, men's hall, public school, youth house etc. Like most of the other Naga communities. The Rengma Naga morung acted as a key institution. Every village is divided into khel and each khel has its own morung, which occupies the central place. It has separate morung for both boys and girls. The objective of the study is to understand more deeply the significant role of morung in thesocial, economic and spiritual life of the people. It also aims to create awareness among the present generation on the roles and responsibilities of the youth in promoting value-based society as taught in the morung. The nature of “Rensika” is to be understood more objectively to get a better understanding of society as a whole.Through ethnographic research and community engagement, this paper aims to preserve age old traditions fostering unity among the Rengma Naga people contributing to the resilience of the cultural heritage.
A STUDY ON THE TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURAL TOOLS AND SKILLS OF THE ANGAMI NAGAS
Authors: Rutsa Vikeyienuo
Published: January 2025

Since time immemorial, our forefathers have had the knowledge and skills to create and craft a variety of implements and tools to assist themselves in all the different work they did for survival. With their indigenous knowledge, they crafted different tools for different work at different seasons. Traditional agricultural tools were made up of locally available materials like bamboo, wood etc. Agriculture, being the primary and most important occupation of the Angami Naga, our forefathers grew and cultivated their own crops. From the richest to the poorest, all Angami folks owned their own plot of land and fields and maintain self-sufficiency. Survival was never a problem for them, which is why the need to import food from outside never arose, nor was there any worry about shortage of food. The ingenuity and innate intelligence to work efficiently and earn one’s livelihood is, thus, very clear. This study is undertaken to identify various traditional tools used for agricultural purposes by the farmers and also to explore the surviving skills of the Angami community. The research is conducted mostly in and around Kohima village which is considered as the second largest village in the Asian Continent. The fieldwork is documented through interviews and discussions. The study is descriptive in nature. It is intended that this paper may raise interest and inspire more in-depth research in the field.

PSYCHOANALYTIC LITERARY CRITICISM AND NAGA FOLKLORE: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY WITH REFERENCE TO TEMSULA AO
Authors: Ayeh Nathanael
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the integration and application of psychoanalytic literary criticism within specific folklore in Nagaland, India. The framework for analysing Ao-Naga cultural narratives from a psychoanalytical perspective is derived from a combination of models present in Temsula Ao’s The Ao-Naga Oral Tradition and Freudian constructs. Further expanding upon this concept of psychoanalytic literary criticism situates the study of folklore within specific parameters of Naga consciousness. Such application of psychoanalytic literary criticism makes it possible to visualize its scope and limitations regarding Naga folklore and folkloristics, while also focusing on oral tradition and its manifestation in literature.Temsula Ao's The Ao-Naga Oral Tradition provides essential analysis of myths such as Lungterok (origin of the Ao-Naga ancestors from six stones). Here, Temsula Ao critiques the limitations of Western models, proposing that Naga folklore transcends conventional narrative structures to embody the collective psyche, cultural identity and legacy of its people through memories and oral tradition
This study addresses the challenges of applying psychoanalytic literary criticism to folklore studies, highlighting its divergence from conventional/canonical literature due to the absence of distinct authorship and its open-ended narrative structure. By juxtaposing psychoanalytic theory with oral traditions, it reveals how the subconscious dynamics of storytelling contribute to the formation and distribution of folklore within Naga communities.

Published: January 2025

The Angami are a major tribe in Nagaland, a land made up of a conglomeration of many tribes, each tribe is distinct in its own character. Traditionally Angami society was centered on warfare, this war culture promotes a patriarchal society and male dominance was the norm, with a self-governing system. Women as a daughter, sister, wife, and mother were assigned enormous role. A girl child was segregated from male child and was prepared for her marriage from her childhood as the society required women of very high moral standard, for these teachings of girl or women were not neglected and also for self-sufficiency and independent life. The main objective of this paper is to study and explore the lives of women in the traditional Angami society . As a qualitative study, data were employed through primary and secondary sources. Today, the conservative view has slackened and her status and role is not only related to her family but education and career while continuing many of their traditional family obligations. She is responsible for the economy and sustainability of her home and community. This paper does a simple study from a women’s perspective since the life, value worth importance of a woman in all walks of life are kept in the dark or is invisible while writing the history of certain people.

At one side tales were the source of entertainment, sharing and exchanging of thoughts at another side tell tale became the medium of spread of education, morality and cultural heritage, which prevailed from time to time. Thus people made this form of expression widely popular and made its reach from door to door, from villages to towns, from town to cities. Later on this tell tale became a variety of literature. From Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales or rather age before than that to modern times the role of stories has become very prominent, significant and popular.

This study explores the accounting treatment of coffee plant as a bearer plant asset at Perumda Perkebunan Kahyangan Jember, a local state-owned enterprise in East Java Province Indonesia. As the agricultural sector plays a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, the proper classification, recognition, measurement, and disclosures of coffee plant as bearer plants are critical for financial transparency and effective management. This study examines how relevant Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards (i.e. PSAK 16 Revision 2011 on Fixed Assets, PSAK 69 on Agriculture, PSAK 14 on Inventory, and PSAK 48 on Impairment of Assets) and International Financial Reporting Standard (i.e. IAS 41) applied in the financial reporting of coffee as a bearer plant at Perumda Perkebunan Kahyangan Jember. Using a qualitative research method with the case study approach, this study provides empirical evidence on how the implementation of such accounting standards, and the obstacle faced by the company presented based on the perspective of recognition, measurement, and disclosure relevant to coffee plant.
Teaching and Assessing at scale: the use of objective rubrics and structured feedback
Authors: Grey Simon J , Gordon Neil Andrew
Published: January 2025

It is widely recognised that feedback is an important part of learning: effective feedback should result in a meaningful change in student behaviour (Morris et al, 2021).  However, individual feedback takes time to produce, and for large cohorts – typified by the North of 300 challenge in computing (CPHC, 2019) - it can be difficult to do so in a timely manner. On occasion it seems that many academics lose sight of the purpose of feedback, and instead view it to justify a mark, rather than an opportunity to provide meaningful tuition. One strategy to provide feedback at scale is to share the workload across multiple staff, but this introduces an additional problem in ensuring that the feedback and marking are equitable and consistent. In this paper we present a case study from teaching programming that attempts to address two distinct, but related issues.The first issue is to make feedback more meaningful. We attempt to achieve this by providing detailed feedback on a draft submission of programming coursework allowing students time to make changes to their work prior to the final submission date. We present an analysis of the data generated from this approach, and its potential impact on student behaviour.The second issue is that of scalability. This feedforward approach creates a significant pressure on marking and on the necessity to provide feedback on a draft submission to large numbers of students in good time so that students are able to act upon it. To achieve this we consider an approach based on creating an objective, reusable marking rubric so that the work can be reasonably spread across multiple members of staff. We present an analysis of the data generated from this approach to determine whether we consider the rubric to be objective enough to remove individual interpretations and biases, and where discrepancies exist attempt to determine where those discrepancies arise.This work was carried out through an analysis of impact on student assessment, as well as from the academic staff involved in using the rubrics. Preliminary results from this work show that the more objective rubric used by several did enable a scalable solution for rapid feedback on submissions, and this did indicate some improvement in student outcomes. However, the work also illustrated the problems of subjective interpretations and some variation in outcomes by marker

A indústria dos centros de dados consome entre 196 e 400 terawatts-hora anualmente, correspondentes a 1% e 2% do consumo mundial de energia. Uma elevada percentagem do consumo de energia do centro de dados esta associada aos sistemas de ar condicionado e refrigeração. A otimização do sistema de refrigeração no centro de dados pode ocorrer em múltiplas escalas, uma das mais relevantes são os processos de geração e transferência de calor no servidor. Nesta linha devemos estudar a distribuição de temperaturas nos componentes de cada servidor, assim como compreender o comportamento do fluxo de ar no interior do chassis. O presente trabalho realizou uma analise térmica e de refrigeração para um servidor de duas unidades de rack (2U-Rack) usando técnicas de fluidodinâmica computacional (CFD) por meio do software de simulação Ansys Fluent. Foi desenvolvido um modelo geométrico do servidor, considerada a geração de calor nos principais componentes elétricos, e a transferência de calor e massa de ar com o centro de dados. O modelo foi verificado comparando os resultados da simulação com valores dos sensores do servidor, e com os resultados de um ensaio de termografía. A simulação permitiu obter campos de velocidade do fluxo de ar, contornos de temperatura dos componentes, e a criação de cenários de sensibilidade visando propor ações que potencialmente permitam construir um servidor energeticamente mais eficiente.
ALTERAÇÃO DA RESOLUÇÃO CNJ Nº 35/2007: ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA ENTRE AS DIFERENTES NORMATIVAS ENTRE OS ESTADOS FEDERADOS SOBRE PROCEDIMENTOS DE DIVÓRCIOS E INVENTÁRIOS EXTRAJUDICIAIS COM PARTICIPAÇÃO DE MENORES INCAPAZES

Este artigo analisa as normas estaduais sobre divórcios e inventários extrajudiciais que envolvem menores incapazes, considerando a concorrência desleal entre cartórios, os prejuízos para a população e a recente alteração da Resolução nº 35/2007 [5] do CNJ [1]. A pesquisa destaca a insegurança jurídica gerada pela falta de uniformidade nas regras e explora a possibilidade de realização de atos de forma digital. Assim, o trabalho realiza uma análise comparativa das legislações, compreendendo que somente a regularização da norma isolada não é a alternativa para resolver a problemática abordada. O objetivo central deste trabalho, que visa comparar e demonstrar os prejuízos das ausências de padronizações mesmo após a Regulamentação 571 [6], utilizou-se de uma metodologia de natureza básica, com objetivos descritivos, apoiando-se em fontes bibliográficas e documentais. Conclui-se que, apesar do potencial de padronização da nova norma, persistem desafios na implementação, especialmente em relação à proteção dos direitos dos menores e à incerteza quanto à efetiva uniformização dos procedimentos.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a aplicação da Lei 11.340/2006, conhecida como Lei Maria da Penha, e avaliar sua efetividade no enfrentamento da violência doméstica contra a mulher no Brasil. A pesquisa busca identificar as principais barreiras institucionais, culturais e sociais que dificultam a plena execução da legislação e propor caminhos para o aprimoramento do sistema de proteção às mulheres. Para alcançar esses objetivos, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica de obras doutrinárias, artigos acadêmicos e relatórios institucionais, com foco na análise de casos concretos e na avaliação de dados estatísticos sobre a violência de gênero no país. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão de literatura, a partir da qual foram examinadas as medidas protetivas previstas na lei e a forma como são implementadas no cotidiano das vítimas. O estudo observou dados teóricos, buscando identificar possíveis falhas no sistema de justiça e nas políticas públicas voltadas à proteção das mulheres. Os resultados apontaram que, embora a Lei Maria da Penha tenha proporcionado avanços importantes na proteção das vítimas, sua aplicação ainda é limitada por fatores como a falta de infraestrutura, resistência cultural e deficiências institucionais. A pesquisa confirmou a hipótese de que há uma lacuna entre a legislação e sua efetividade prática, destacando a necessidade de melhorias no aparato estatal e na conscientização social para superar esses desafios e garantir maior proteção às mulheres vítimas de violência.
