Authors: Racheal Mafumbate
Published: December 2024

This paper explores approaches employed by prison officers in order to enhance the social, emotional, academic and physical wellness of juvenile offenders in a Correctional and Prison Centre in one developing country in Zimbabwe. The study is informed by integrative theories of Hettler's (1980) wellness theory, Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, and the UBUNTU theory. A qualitative phenomenological design was used, with focus group discussions, interviews, and observations as data collection instruments for twenty-five (25) juvenile offenders and five (5) prison officers (teachers) in one Correctional Centre and Prison in Gweru Province. These participants were purposively selected. Findings from this study revealed that teaching the new Zimbabwean curriculum has enhanced positive relationships and developed interpersonal relationships amongst juveniles through sharing their problems, the word of God, singing and playing together. In this way, physical, emotional, spiritual, social and academic wellness is being enhanced. Furthermore, it was established that counseling rendered to juvenile offenders enhances positive behaviour modification, tolerance, and respect for others. This study revealed that juvenile offenders are equipped with coping skills to deal with community stigmatisation. It was revealed in the study that the interaction and relationships between educators and juvenile offenders were a clear indicator that a conducive environment was prevalent, and it reassured the juveniles of positive integration into the community. The study recommends networking with relevant groups like social workers, ex-convicts, and community and religious groups to promote social change for juvenile offenders. These groups can give support to the juvenile offenders for smooth reintegration to take place. In this way, emotional, physical, spiritual and social wellness is promoted.

Published: December 2024

Hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to maintain health, is most often caused by iodine deficiency in areas where iodine levels are low. However, in regions with adequate iodine, Hashimoto's disease is the leading cause of hypothyroidism and thyroid failure. Neudesin in neuropeptide hormone, which is released by the brain and fat tissue, has both metabolic effects and neural. The study included ninety participants divided in two groups: in this study, the initial group comprised 30 female and 30 male individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism, while the second group consisted of 15 female and 15 male participants who were healthy controls. The age range for both groups spanned from 30 to 60 years. The findings indicated that the hypothyroidism group exhibited significantly elevated levels of WHR, BMI, TC, TG, LDL, VLDL, TSH, and Neudesin compared to the control group. Particularly noteworthy, Neudesin displayed remarkable proficiency in distinguishing hypothyroidism patients from the control group, achieving an outstanding AUC 0.965. Using the findings, we deduced that the evaluation. Neudesin indicators may be beneficial for the diagnosis and response to therapy. The most sensitive and specific marker for hypothyroidism individuals is neudesin.

The study investigated the antibacterial properties of chromium nanoparticles using Pulse laser ablation technology. The nanoparticles were produced using a Q-switched Nd:YAG pulsed laser of 532 nm and pulsed laser energies ranging from 400mJ to 700mJ at a frequency of 6 Hz. The properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using various techniques, including XRD, AFM, SEM, and EDS, at laser energies of 400 and 700 mJ. The resulting chromium powder exhibited a crystalline structure, with average crystalline sizes of 42.25 and 52.53 nm for laser energies of 400 and 700 mJ, respectively. EDX analysis revealed the presence of chromium, carbon, and oxygen at different concentrations for both energy levels. FE-SEM images showed the shape and aggregation of the nanoparticles, with average diameters of 99.06 and 115.6 nm for laser energies of 400mJ and 700 mJ, respectively. The antibacterial properties of chromium nanoparticles were tested on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The number of bacteria colonies killed varied at different laser energy levels between 400 and 700 mJ. Nevertheless, complete eradication of Escherichia coli was achieved specifically at a laser energy level of 700 mJ.

Authors: Al-Inizi Athir J. , Al-Saadi Osamah S.
Published: December 2024

Geophysics is one of the branches of Earth sciences and deals with studying the Earth's interior by studying the variation of physical properties within rock layers. Applied geophysics depends on procedures that involve the measurements of potential fields, such as the gravitational method. One of the significant oil fields in southern Iraq is represented by the Nahr Omar structure. A power spectrum analysis (SPA) technique was used to collect gravity data within the chosen oil field area in order to confirm the salt dome in the subsurface layers. The analysis of SPA resulted from six surfaces representing the gravity variation values of the depths (m)14300, 3780, 3290, 2170, 810, and 93.5. Gravity surfaces have been converted to density surfaces to determine density and velocity models from these six depth slices. The inverted data were consistent with the Nafe and Drake standard curves of converting densities to average velocities. The current study illustrated the benefit/assist of the inversion technique of gravity data to average velocity, to a large extent, in detecting the salt dome effects on the subsurface strata for the Nahr Omar oilfield. In comparison, the decrease in the average velocity of the salt dome area is related to this effect. The acquired inversion results were supported by available seismic data within the Nahr Omar area and utilized the seismic attributes processing technique.

Limited understanding regarding healthy relationships, religious implications, the impact of LGBTQ occurrences, psychological susceptibilities associated with LGBTQ, and inappropriate approaches towards LGBTQ individuals can heighten one's susceptibility towards developing LGBTQ tendencies or mental disorders. This initiative, referred to as IbDM, will be executed with the utilization of a social campaign approach and interactive talk shows, to cultivate positive awareness and effective strategies for addressing and preventing the rise in LGBTQ transmission. The social campaign involve distributing pamphlets and pocketbooks about LGBTQ matters across all faculties in Unand, serving as a reminder and platform for introspection in anticipation of LGBTQ transmission. Additionally, incorporating interactive and captivating talk show activities featuring knowledgeable speakers will enable the dissemination of understanding, thereby enhancing the academic community's awareness in a more profound manner. The content presented during these activities will encompass various aspects of LGBTQ, including social and religious dimensions, cultural and legal considerations, and health-related perspectives. This activity has provided an overview of the perceptions of students involved as participants regarding LGBTQ behaviour. All participants (100%) view LGBTQ as deviant behavior, the importance of the role of parents in building children's character and identity, and the large influence of the social environment as a barrier to LGBTQ. Therefore, it is important for the role of policymakers at the central and regional government levels, leaders of higher education institutions, the academic community, health practitioners, and other fields to be able to work together in enforcing strict legal regulations against LGBTQ, socializing the impact of sexual identity and orientation deviation, strengthening the role parents and social environment as deterrents to deviant sexual identity and orientation behavior.

Breast milk is the best food for babies because it has benefits. Babies who are not exclusively breastfed have been more susceptible to infections compared to babies who are exclusively breastfed. However, the benefits of breast milk do not necessarily mean that all mothers are providing breast milk as recommended. This can be caused by problems during breastfeeding, such as sore nipples, tenderness, swelling, mastitis, and even breast abscess. Therefore, breast care and breastfeeding training must be carried out so mothers avoid breastfeeding problems. Educational activities in this activity were conducted at Posyandu Mulus Rahayu 22, attended by 14 cadres, and Posyandu Shofa 11 A, B, C by 11 cadres. Education is carried out using lectures, demonstrations, and question-and-answer methods, such as PowerPoint, leaflets, and teaching aids. Pre-tests and post-tests were carried out to evaluate participants. The evaluation results showed increased participants' knowledge from an average of 6.44 at the pre-test to 7.6 at the post-test. Education is an important step that needs to be taken to increase knowledge. It is hoped that cadres who have taken part in this activity can convey information to mothers around them so that they avoid breastfeeding problems.

In the Baruah Gunuang Public Health Center area, located in Lima Puluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra, the prevalence of hypertension continues to rise, with only 14% of hypertension patients regularly seeking medical check-ups in 2022. Additionally, only 69.44% of patients adhere to regular treatment, far below the target of 100%. To address this issue, community awareness must be increased through the Empowerment Movement of Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Hypertension Cadres in the SIGADIS Program (Hypertension Prevention and Detection Action). This program aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of cadres in monitoring and managing hypertension within the community. The program was conducted by the Faculty of Public Health at Andalas University in collaboration with the local health center from September to October 2023. Activities included outreach, training, and health screening involving community members appointed as cadres for hypertension prevention in each village. The results of this program showed an increase in the knowledge and skills of the cadres in hypertension prevention and control, as measured by a 5-point increase in pre-test and post-test scores, with no participants scoring below 80 by the end. This improvement in competence is expected to strengthen the role of cadres in education, early detection, and patient recruitment for hypertension, thereby reducing the prevalence of hypertension in the area. The SIGADIS program serves as a community empowerment model for addressing health challenges related to hypertension, particularly in areas with limited access to healthcare services.

Ante la ley y la experiencia del sentido en F. Kafka
Authors: Martín Arnedo Santiago
Published: December 2024

This article analyses the structureand the meaning of the short story “Beforethe Law” by F. Kafka. It was not only veryimportant for him, judging by how manytimes he published it, but it also condenseshis narrative strategy: many of its featuresare reflected widely in the novel where itis inscribed, The Trial. The circumstances ofits gestation and the radical nature of hisapproach give it a theological character,compared to other more sociological oranthropological approaches. This hypothesisis reinforced when parallels with otherbiblical stories are easily found. Furthermore,the author’s own opinions, in whomlife and literature appear so inexorablylinked, point rather to a problematizationof existence as a whole, and not specificallyto any of its aspects, hence the anguish anduncertainty that surrounds both the protagonistof his writings as well as the reader,who in vain wants to find a last piecethat gives meaning to the whole.

Authors: Hasrullah
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini membahas strategi prebunking sebagai upaya preventif atau pencegahan hoaks yang berpotensi menyerang profesi hakim.  Hakim yang disematkan sebagai profesi mulia secara hukum dan sosial kerap menjadi sorotan dalam proses penegakan hukum dan mencari keadilan. Di tengah era digital kini semua informasi dengan mudah diakses dan juga mudahnya memberikan penilaian dan cara pandang menjadikan tantangan baru bagi profesi hakim.
Kemudahan memperoleh dan menyampaikan informasi menjadi titik awal merebaknya hoaks yakni disinformasi, misinformasi, dan malinformasi. Gangguan informasi yang bersifat menyesatkan dikhawatirkan memanipulasi opini dan bahkan menggerus kepercayaan publik terhadap hakim dan juga pengadilan. Situasi ini berdampak fatal bagi kredibelitas, nama baik dan juga cita-cita keadilan. Mahkamah Agung menempatkan etik hingga pengawasan dan pembinaan hakim sebagai upaya untuk menjaga kepercayaan publik dari dalam (internal). Efektivitas dan efesiensi penerapannya nanti, akan turut mempengaruhi kepercayaan terhadap hukum. Namun faktor eksternal seperti komunikasi digital masa kini menjadi bagian terpenting untuk diperhatikan dalam menjaga kepercayaan publik tersebut dari informasi yang menyesatkan. Prebunking adalah pendekatan pencegahan berdasarkan teori inokulasi pendekatan persuasif dinilai efektif yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat tentang cara mengidentifikasi dan menanggapi informasi yang salah sebelum informasi tersebut menyebar secara luas. Berbagai strategi prebunking dapat diterapkan, termasuk penyuluhan literasi digital, edukasi tentang proses hukum, promosi sumber berita terpercaya, kampanye anti-hoaks, dan kolaborasi antara media massa dan institusi hukum.
Penelitian ini dapat menjadi rujukan bagi lembaga yuridis seperti Mahkamah Agung, organisasi profesi hakim yakni IKAHi, dan juga hakim secara personal untuk mendorong masyarakat terhindar dari hoaks. Khususnya yang berkaitan dengan profesi hakim.
The Introduction of Amicus Curiae as Formal Legal Instrument to Enhance Judicial Integrity
Authors: Johannes Edison Haholongan
Published: December 2024

The submission of Amicus Curiae’s brief in the court has created a new paradigm that emerges and develops within the society itself. Such practice, which had already been developed in many judiciaries in other countries, could in fact be utilized by the Indonesian judiciary as a means to improve its integrity, namely by capturing the development of legal values and sense of justice within the society at large. Nevertheless, currently there have been no formal legal grounds to regulate the Amicus Curiae. Consequently, such condition has created confusion within those who presented themselves to become Amicus Curiae in the court. This paper intends to examine the possibility of formal recognition of Amicus Curiae as a full-fledged legal instrument in the court. Moreover, this paper also investigates various appropriate legal basis to accommodate the formal application of the Amicus Curiae in the court. Finally, this paper will endeavor to argue that the application of the Amicus Curiae as a formal legal instrument could be used by the Indonesian judiciary to enhance its integrity within the society itself.

Introduction. In the context of modern threats and risks, ensuring the information security of an organization is urgent. Risk management depends on the effectiveness of identifying and taking into account factors that potentially affect the security of hardware and information resources of informatization objects under conditions of uncertainty. This approach forms the basis for planning and implementing effective preventive protective measures and actively combating the information threat to the security of informatization objects. The article presents the formalization of functioning, a model for fending off threats by elements of informatization objects and the results of modeling the vulnerability assessment of elements of infocommunication structures for managing the resources of technical systems under the conditions of a variety of external influences with varying degrees of criticality. Identification of factors affecting the security of informatization objects was carried out dynamically, taking into account the sufficiency of levels, groupings and characteristics without violating the structure. The purpose of the study is to improve and increase the security of resource management structures of technical systems from external factors that have a destructive influence. Research methods. Methods of calculation and risk management, probability theory, systems analysis theory. Results and its discussion. Based on the results of the study, it was established that when the security parameters of elements of informatization objects and the criticality of external influence factors change within the framework of the created model, the attractor changes. The established fact allows us to assert that the behavioral adaptation of the considered resource management structure of technical systems is sufficiently sensitive to modern threats. Conclusion. The approach to organizing the security of infocommunication structures for resource management of technical systems outlined in the article allows us to more accurately identify elements of these systems that are more resistant to the destructive influence of external factors. In addition, when the security parameters of information object elements and the criticality of external influence factors change in the created model, the attractor changes, which indicates the dynamics and features of behavioral adaptation of systems to modern threats.

Introduction. Dangerous geodynamic processes of various types are a significant risk factor for emergency situations in populated and industrial areas. A promising direction for the development of methods for studying the risk of emergencies of a geodynamic nature is the development of complex methods for point-area zoning of territories in terms of the frequency of occurrence of dangerous geodynamic processes and the degree of manifestation of their dangerous factors. Goals and objectives. Development of methods for assessing geodynamic risk based on the construction of universal mathematical models that make it possible, based on data on the state of the geological environment, to identify threats of occurrence and forecast the consequences of dangerous geodynamic processes, and based on them, zoning methods based on local indicators of the risk of emergency situations of a geodynamic nature. The subject of the study is models for the identification and quantification of geodynamic hazards. Methods. To achieve the goal and solve the research tasks, methods of linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics, theory of random processes, and multi-criteria optimization were used. The results and their discussion. A stochastic model is constructed based on the hypothesis that there is a connection between the current state of the geological environment with frequency and degree of manifestation of various types of dangerous geodynamic processes. The relationships between the main parameters and factors of multicomponent geodynamic risk are considered, local probabilistic-temporal and probabilistic-intensive indicators representing the characteristics of the possibility and intensity of manifestation of various types of dangerous geodynamic processes are introduced. affecting individual objects of geographically distributed natural and technical systems. The general task of multi-criteria combinatorial optimization of socio-economic losses caused by geodynamic emergencies is formulated. Procedures for the comparative analysis of control effects on elements of geographically distributed natural and technical systems are proposed. Conclusions. The expediency of forming mathematical and information-analytical support systems for risk-based management in geographically distributed natural and technical systems is shown.

meter); complete lack of visibility). The time indicators spent by the unit when moving
in various smoke conditions were studied. Objectives of the study. Study of the
peculiarities of the operation of gas and smoke protection service units when moving in
various smoke conditions. Research methods. In the course of the analysis, the mechanism
of operation of the gas and smoke protection service units when moving in different
smoke conditions was studied. The time required for the movement of gas and smoke
protection service units in various smoke conditions, spent on completing the route, was
determined. The experiment was carried out in a heat and smoke chamber with the
participation of fire department employees on duty. Research results. The work of the
gas and smoke protection service units when moving in different smoke conditions was
studied. It is clearly shown how different smoke conditions affect the speed and time of
movement in an unsuitable for breathing environment. Conclusion. The experiment showed
that the worse the visibility in an unsuitable for breathing environment, the more time
the gas and smoke protection service unit spends on progress. Also, in conditions of
zero visibility, under certain circumstances, disorientation of the unit is possible,
which also affects the quality of the assigned combat mission. The obtained results of
the experiment can be used in conducting an examination of the organization of fire
extinguishing, when it is necessary to determine whether it was possible to carry out
rescue work in a short time. Keywords: gas and smoke protection service unit; heat and

Introduction. The article deals with the organization of information exchange
between vehicles and the monitoring server during the transportation of dangerous goods
in the absence of a stable wireless communication channel. The advantages of technical
solutions based on the technology of DTN networks, tolerant to delays, are described.
Aims and purposes. The aim of the study is to improve safety of the transportation of
dangerous goods by various modes of transport by ensuring reliable information exchange
in the networks of the vehicle condition monitoring system. The main objectives of the
study were to develop an algorithm for transmitting data from the local network of a
vehicle to a DTN node using the Bundle protocol, as well as to develop a schematic
diagram of a device for organizing information exchange between a vehicle and DTN nodes
in a heterogeneous monitoring network. Methods. The study used the methods of system
analysis, the theory of computer networks, the basic concepts of the theory of
algorithms. Results and discussion. A description of the data transfer algorithm and a
schematic diagram of a device for organizing information exchange between a vehicle and
DTN nodes in a heterogeneous monitoring network using the Bundle protocol are given. The
advantage of the proposed scheme is to provide the possibility of organizing reliable
two-way information communication between the vehicle and the monitoring server via
satellite communication channels, as well as via mobile communication channels in the
presence of a stable network signal. Conclusions. The organization of information
exchange between DTN nodes in the monitoring network using the Bundle protocol
contributes to solve the problem of uninterrupted data transfer between vehicles
carrying dangerous goods and the dispatch center. Keywords: data transfer protocols;

Introduction. Currently, there is an increase in the movement of high-speed and
high-speed passenger trains. With the introduction of new programs to upgrade the
passenger train fleet, domestic manufacturers are successfully producing a wide range of
models of wagons of various models. When designing passenger trains, issues of ensuring
the safety of people in case of fire deserve special attention. The analysis of current
regulatory documents in the field of designing evacuation routes and exits of passenger
cars, as well as calculated approaches to assessing the safe evacuation of people in
case of fire from them are not without drawbacks. In this regard, there is a need to
conduct experimental research to develop the provisions of the theory of human flows in
passenger trains. The article presents the results of research on the process of
evacuation of people in modern passenger trains. The methodology for conducting
experimental research is described and the results are presented with quantitative data
on the time of evacuation of people from passenger cars, which were compared with data
obtained by modeling a fire to assess the safe evacuation of people in case of fire.
Goals and objectives. Conducting experimental studies of the process of evacuation of
people in modern passenger cars of a railway train. Methods. During the experiments, the
method of photo-video fixation was used. Methods of mathematical statistics were used to
process the obtained experimental data. Results and discussion. In the course of the
studies performed, experimental data were obtained allowing preliminary estimates of the
time for evacuation of people in case of fire from the models of passenger cars of
railway trains considered in the article. Conclusions. As a result of the research, the
need to develop additional technical solutions to limit the spread of fire was
established in the considered train carriage models to ensure timely evacuation of
people in case of fire. Keywords: fire, evacuation, railway train car.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of materials of various
chemical nature (pine wood, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride) by the method
of synchronous thermal analysis. The relevance of the application of a high-precision
and informative method of synchronous thermal analysis for determining the indicators of
fire hazard of solid substances and materials is substantiated. The methodology for
determining the self-ignition temperature by thermal analysis methods is considered.
Research task. The objective of the study was to improve the methods for determining the
fire hazard indicators of substances and materials, in particular, the autoignition
temperature. Methods. The following methods were used in the study: thermogravimetric
analysis, differential thermogravimetry and the method of differential scanning
calorimetry. Results and its discussion. As a result of the research, the regularities
of thermal-oxidative degradation of polymeric materials were studied. It has been
established that it is expedient to determine the auto-ignition temperature from the
temperature of the maximum of the first derivative of the curve of differential scanning
calorimetry of the thermal-oxidative destruction (combustion) of the material. The
auto-ignition temperature values of the studied polymeric materials (pine wood,
high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride) were determined by synchronous thermal
analysis method, which showed satisfactory agreement with the data obtained by standard
methods presented in the literature. Conclusions. The high accuracy of synchronous
thermal analysis method (the error during verification by the sensitivity of the device
is below 3 %), as well as the satisfactory convergence of the results of parallel tests,
allows us to assert the reliability of the obtained research results. The analysis of
research results and their comparison with data from reference and literary sources
indicates the possibility of using the method of synchronous thermal analysis to
determine the autoignition temperature of solid materials. Keywords: thermal-oxidative
degradation; auto-ignition temperature; differential scanning calorimetry.
