Административный контроль приме­нения дискреционных полномочий в сфере соблюдения прав осужденных
Authors: Нагорных Р.В.
Published: January 2025

В статье обосновывается вывод о том, что положение осуж­денных напрямую зависит не только от справедливости правосудия, но и от законности применения дискреционных полномочий должностными лицами пенитенциарных учреждений. Использование дискреционных полномочий без надлежащей ответственности и контроля приводит к фактическим нару­шениям прав человека. В свою очередь постепенное внедрение в пенитен­циарную практику моделей, способствующих большей транспарентности и ответственности персонала в принятии решений, поможет достичь баланса между необходимостью обеспечения внутреннего порядка и уважения прав каждого осужденного.

The article substantiates the conclusion that the situation of convicts directly depends not only on the fairness of justice, but also on the legality of the use of discretionary powers by officials of penitentiary institutions. The use of discretionary powers without proper responsibility and control leads to actual violations of human rights. In turn, the gradual introduction into penitentiary practice of models that promote greater transparency and responsibility of staff in decision- making will help to achieve a balance between the need to ensure internal order and respect for the rights of each convict.

Authors: Морозов Р.М.
Published: January 2025

Статья посвящена внедрению искусственного интеллекта в деятельность органов предварительного расследования. Выдвинуто пред­положение, что использование искусственного интеллекта может повысить производительность труда сотрудников следственных органов и сократить объем выполняемых ими задач, помочь в анализе больших объемов дан­ных, выявлении закономерностей и раскрытии преступлений прошлых лет и серийных преступлений, а также поспособствовать биометрической иден­тификации преступников, установлению места происшествия и выполне­нию повседневных задач, таких как заполнение статистических карточек и составление запросов. Акцентировано внимание, что для эффективного применения искусственного интеллекта требуются изменения уголовно-про­цессуального законодательства, внедрение электронного уголовного дела и уточнения понятия технических средств. В работе учтен зарубежный опыт применения искусственного интеллекта.

he article is devoted to the introduction of artificial intelligence into activities of the preliminary investigation bodies. Achievements of scientific and technological progress have always been involved in activities of preliminary investigation bodies, but artificial intelligence is still not properly used in law enforcement practices. We believe that the use of artificial intelligence can increase employee productivity and reduce the amount of tasks they perform. Artificial intelligence can help analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns and solve crimes of the past and serial crimes. Introduction of artificial intelligence can also contribute to the biometric identification of criminals, establishing the scene of an incident and performing everyday tasks such as filling out statistical cards and making inquiries. Effective use of artificial intelligence requires changes in criminal procedure legislation, introduction of an electronic criminal case and clarification of the concept of technical means. In addition, it is proposed to launch a pilot project on the use of artificial intelligence in one of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The work also takes into account foreign experience in the use of artificial intelligence.

Getaran yang dapat  merambat melalui suatu medium dapat juga tidak merambat merupakan gelombang.Energi gelombang  berasal dari sumber bunyi, yaitu benda yang bergetar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana gelombang dan suara mempengaruhi fenomena pendengaran. Karena permasalahan yang disajikan, penelitian  literatur adalah metode penelitian yang tepat. Tinjauan literatur dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan referensi dari beberapa penelitian sebelumnya, yang kemudian dibandingkan untuk menarik kesimpulan. Suara yang terdengar oleh telinga manusia akan berubah dari sinyal akustik mekanis menjadi sinyal listrik yang dibawa menuju otak oleh saraf pendengaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga tahapan dalam proses mendengar, yaitu tahap dimana energi fisik ditransfer ke organ pendengaran berupa rangsangan suara, tahap konversi atau transduksi , konversi rangsangan energi fisik ke organ penerima dan tahap transmisi impuls saraf ke korteks auditori, dan tentunya tidak lepas dari organ pendengaran manusia yaitu telinga. Proses mendengar bukanlah proses yang mudah, untuk mendengar seseorang harus memiliki organ pendengaran dan fungsi pendengaran yang baik.
Investigating the Roles of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Vitamin D, and Insulin Resistance in Vitiligo Patients
Authors: Hussein Hawraa Hamid
Published: January 2025

Background: Vitiligo is a skin condition where skin loses its color, presenting as macules which are smooth white patches. It is considered to affect 1% of the world’s population and is associated with various factors such as autoimmunity, oxidative stress, and some mosquito psychological comorbities. Reduced levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vitamin D in addition to insulin resistance have also been impart in this disorder.  Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the degree of involvement of BDNF, insulin, and vitamin D on the causation and course of vitiligo.  Methods: A case control study was where 90 subjects were enrolled; 45 diagnosed with vitiligo and 45 were healthy control subjects from the dermatology clinic. Serum level of BDNF, insulin, vitamin D, and other metabolic markers were taken for evaluation through Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests. The activity and severity of the disease were evaluated using VIDA and VASI scores in that order. The parameters were then compared through statistical analysis (t-test and Pearson correlation) while the diagnostic accuracy of BDNF was evaluated with the ROC curve analysis. Results: With respect to mean serum level findings, BDNF and vitamin D were significantly lower in the vitiligo patients compared to the controls (p<0.05). Conversely, insulin, fasting blood glucose FBG, and HOMA-IR levels in the patient group were significantly increased (p<0.05). The diagnostic potential of BDNF was poor with AUC=40%. Furthermore, there were significant relationships discovered between the serum levels and duration as well as severity and activity scores of the disease. Conclusion: In reference to the above investigation, the three potential targets may be insulin resistance, BDNF, and deficient Vitamin D. These may be factors in the explanation of the pathophysiology of vitiligo. These biomarkers may be useful for strategizing therapy, disease management, and the psychological disease that accompanies vitiligo.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To investigate the effect of systemic mild hypothermia therapy on peripheral blood interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) in
neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) within 6 hours after birth.
Methods: Forty neonates with HIE within 6 hours after birth, who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Shangqiu First People's Hospital
in Henan Province from October 2021 to October 2023, were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the mild hypothermia group and
the conventional treatment group according to the treatment method. The children in the conventional treatment group received conventional supportive
treatment, while those in the mild hypothermia group were given head mild hypothermia treatment and conventional supportive treatment. Peripheral
blood IL-6 and TNF-α were measured in all children at admission and 72 hours after treatment. Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment (NBNA)
scale scores were performed at 14 and 28 days after birth.

Results: There was no significant difference in the levels of blood IL-6 and TNF-α in HIE children of the conventional treatment group 72 hours after
treatment compared with those at admission (P > 0.05). 2. The levels of blood IL-6 and TNF-α in HIE children of the mild hypothermia group 72 hours
after treatment were significantly lower than those at admission (P < 0.05). 3. 72 hours after treatment, the levels of blood IL-6 and TNF-α in moderate
HIE children of the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than those in moderate HIE children of the conventional treatment group (P <
0.05). 4. 72 hours after treatment, the levels of blood IL-6 and TNF-α in severe HIE children of the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than
those in severe HIE children of the conventional treatment group (P < 0.05). 5. At 14 and 28 days after birth, the NBNA scores of HIE children in the mild
hypothermia group were significantly higher than those in the conventional treatment group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Head mild hypothermia treatment
for HIE children within 6 hours after birth has an obvious effect. Head mild hypothermia treatment can reduce the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α in HIE
children, inhibit the indirect neurotoxic effect caused by the increase of IL-6 and TNF-α levels, play a role in brain protection, improve the NBNA score,
and obtain a better prognosis.

Authors: Tejas R. Sakpal  , Dr. Pawan C. Tapre  , Dr. Fareed Ahmad
Published: January 2025

This project presents a deep learning-powered system for automating the extraction and analysis of electrical motor nameplate parameters, addressing inefficiencies in traditional manual methods used in electrical audits.  Users upload a nameplate image through a React-based interface, initiating a process where the backend, powered by the Gemini API and OCR-enabled deep learning models, extracts critical parameters such as voltage, power, current rating, RPM, insulation type, and temperature ratings. This extracted data undergoes post-processing to generate actionable insights and audit reports, categorised into a Simple Suggestion Report for basic recommendations and an Overall Detail Report for comprehensive analysis, displayed in a user-friendly output panel. By automating this process, the system significantly reduces time, effort, and errors associated with manual extraction, enabling auditor companies to deliver more accurate and efficient reports, paving the way for advanced automation in electrical audits and optimizing motor performance, maintenance, and energy efficiency in industrial and residential settings.
Body narratives in the film Marry My Dead Body: Symbols, Power, History
Authors: Mao Wenyu , Ismail Roslina
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the body narrative in the Taiwanese comedy film Marry My Dead Body, exploring how bodily representations serve as a vehicle for examining Taiwan's complex social and cultural contexts. Utilizing Foucault's theory of discourse and power, this study investigates the narrative strategies and power dynamics embedded in the film's portrayal of bodies. The contrasting depictions of human, ghostly, and gendered bodies dissolve conventional fears surrounding ghosts and death, while simultaneously addressing the contentious issue of same-sex marriage. Through the characters Mao Mao and Ming Han, the film reflects Taiwan's intricate social fabric, where traditional and modern gender roles intersect. Mao Mao’s body symbolizes Taiwan's evolving gender culture, while Ming Han's body embodies traditional Chinese gender symbols, making bodily representation a multifaceted carrier of cultural, social, and historical meanings. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of gender culture in Taiwan, challenging the conventional view of LGBTQ+ representation in contemporary Taiwanese cinema.

Published: January 2025

Lack of stakeholder involvement in the management of mangrove swamp systems has recently become a global issue. Mangrove swamp ecosystems are known as biological communities that interact as biotic and abiotic components. The management of mangrove swamps in Malaysia is a cause for concern as the quality and quantity of the area are deteriorating. The objectives of this study are to examine stakeholder involvement in the management of Setiu mangrove swamp systems, identify key issues faced by stakeholders in managing mangrove swamp systems more sustainably, and recommend to stakeholders the best management practices for managing mangrove swamp systems. In this study, a qualitative study was conducted using a diagnostic approach guided by the Social-Ecological System (SES). Participants will be involved in the management of mangrove systems using Ostrom's (2009) theory based on the Social-Ecological System (SES) framework. This interaction involves actors (A) and management systems (GS) in Setiu mangrove swamp ecosystems based on the Social-Ecological System (SES). Actors (A) focus on the number of involved actors (A1), socio-economic characteristics (A2), leadership (A5), and resource importance (A8). The governance system (GS) includes government organizations (GS1), non-governmental organizations (GS2), collective election rules (GS6), and supervisory sanction rules (GS8). A limitation of the study was that obtaining information and reading about the Social-Ecological System (SES) made it difficult for the researcher to gather data. The study showed that many participants were involved in activities in the mangrove swamp area.
The Interplay of Affect and Power Structures in Mountains May Depart
Authors: Yan Liuxuan , Deenerwan Marlenny , Raja Hadayadanin Raja Farah
Published: January 2025

In recent years, affective theory has gained significant attention in Western film studies and gradually influenced Chinese cinema research. However, its application in Chinese film studies remains superficial, particularly in the lack of in-depth exploration of the political nature of affect and its interaction with power structures. As a representative of China's ‘Sixth Generation’ directors, Jia Zhangke is not primarily known for political narratives, but his works centre on social realities, implicitly revealing the oppression and influence of social power on individuals through the depiction of ordinary lives. This study applies affective theory to analyse the interaction between affect and power structures in Jia Zhangke’s Mountains May Depart. The analysis focuses on three dimensions: affect as the embodiment of power, affect as the physical manifestation of power, and affect as a means of resistance and self-rescue. Through specific analyses of the film texts, the study demonstrates that affective movement is both an important medium for emotional expression and a key to the operation and resistance of power in film narratives. The study finds that Mountains May Depart fuses individual emotions with social power through the multidimensional expression of affective movement. The affective movement not only demonstrates the implicit operation of power, but also expresses the individual's resistance to social oppression and the reconstruction of subjectivity through the transformation of emotions.

The increase in photovoltaic systems necessitates addressing hot spot issues. Analysis reveals that shading, dust, and manufacturing defects can lead to hot spot formation. A proposed voltage measurement method, based on the Hot Spot Index (HSI), enables hot spot identification and localization. Experiments confirm its effectiveness in detection. Additionally, nearby surrounding areas are also affected, indicating their potential thermal impact. This proactive approach allows minimizing the adverse effects of hot spots on the performance and lifespan of PV systems.

Artificial Intelligence and infectious diseases prediction have recently
experienced a common development and advancement. Machine learning
apparition, along with deep learning emergence, extended many approaches
against diseases apparition and their spread. And despite their outstanding results
in predicting infectious diseases, conflicts appeared regarding the types
of data used and how they can be studied, analyzed, and exploited using various
emerging methods. This has led to some ongoing discussions in the field.
This research aims not only to provide an overview of what has been accomplished,
but also to highlight the difficulties related to the types of data used,
and the learning methods applied for each research objective. It categorizes
these contributions into three areas: predictions using Public Health Data to
prevent the spread of a transmissible disease within a region; predictions using Patients’ Medical Data to detect whether a person is infected by a transmissible
disease; and predictions using both Public and patient medical data to
estimate the extent of disease spread in a population. The paper also critically
assesses the potential of Artificial Intelligence and outlines its limitations in
infectious disease management.

This study examined the impact of Islamic microfinance though its Islamic, social, and ethical goals, adoption of profit and loss sharing (PLS) modes (Musharakah, Mudarabah), non-PLS modes (Murabahah, Ijarah) and charity-based financing modes (Zakat, Sadaqah, Qard al-Hasan) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, it examined the impact on household income, enterprise development as well as program and practice. This study utilized a quantitative research design to evaluate the impact of Islamic microfinance on achieving SDGs in Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Turkey. Responses were obtained from 367 participants, comprising of beneficiaries of Islamic micro-finances in the three selected countries, using a structured questionnaire developed and administered through Google Forms. The findings reveal that profit-and-loss-sharing (PLS) mode of Islamic microfinancing promote SDGs while other modes such as non-PLS and charity-based financing show limited contributions due to operational inefficiencies and short-term focus. Household, enterprise development as well as program practice impacts highlight the need for scalable and systemic interventions, as their current implementations do not consistently translate into broader SDGs achievements. Based on the findings of the study, the study recommended that Policymakers should encourage the adoption of PLS contracts, supported by regulatory frameworks that mitigate moral hazard and adverse selection problems in Islamic microfinancing.
Pain Relief and Mobility Post-Total Knee Arthroplasty: Insights from Medial Parapatellar and Low Midvastus Surgical Techniques

Published: January 2025

This is Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA); one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients with advanced degenerative degeneration of the knee joint, most commonly due to osteoarthritis or trauma. Surgical technique has a big role in the success of TKA with the medial parapatellar and low midvastus approaches being the two most commonly used techniques. For years, the medial parapatellar approach to the knee has been considered the gold standard, offering excellent surgical exposure guaranteeing accurate prosthetic positioning. Unfortunately, this is a far more invasive technique associated with more post-operative pain, muscle disruption and a slower recovery time for patients. However, the low midvastus approach is less traumatizing to the surrounding tissues and therefore is considered more muscle sparing. While there appears to be slightly less joint exposure compared to the medial parapatellar technique, this results in reduced postoperative discomfort and faster early recovery. The goal of the present study was to compare these two approaches in terms of their impact on postoperative outcomes including pain levels, recovery time, and improvement in overall functional improvement. Then, evidence from several clinical studies was analyzed in order to give a full picture of the pros and cons of both approaches. The results help the surgeon decide which surgical technique to select for any given patient’s needs, and also to improve overall longterm results.
Beyond the Usual Suspect: Diagnostic Pitfalls and Uncommon Presentations of Acute Appendicitis – A Case Series

Published: January 2025

Acute appendicitis is traditionally regarded as one of the most common and straightforward indications for emergency abdominal surgery. Nevertheless, its heterogeneous clinical presentations can mimic other intra-abdominal conditions or co-occur with pathologies such as intestinal obstruction, peptic ulcer perforation, and pancreatitis. These complex presentations often present diagnostic hurdles, highlight the limitations of conventional imaging, and underscore the imperative for careful clinical acumen. We report a case series of five patients, all of whom were initially suspected to have acute appendicitis. However, their subsequent clinical course and operative findings revealed a variety of diagnostic pitfalls: caecal perforation at the base of the appendix, coexistent acute pancreatitis, retrocecal appendix obscured on ultrasound, a sealed gastric perforation masquerading as appendicitis, and acute intestinal obstruction rooted in adhesions around an inflamed appendix. Each scenario demanded a distinct management strategy, ranging from hemicolectomy and stoma formation to conservative treatment of pancreatitis and meticulous operative exploration of retrocecal anatomy. These cases exemplify the dynamic nature of acute appendicitis and call attention to the importance of a broad differential diagnosis. They further illustrate that clinical vigilance, paired with thoughtful imaging and operative nuance, is indispensable for optimizing patient outcomes.
Emerging Trends and Innovative Approaches in Orthopedic Surgery: A Comprehensive Review of Recent Therapeutic Advancements and Their Impact on Patient Outcomes

Published: January 2025

Orthopedic surgery has experienced major progress in the area of changing patient outcomes with innovations such as MIS, robotic-assisted surgery, advanced imaging, and customized implants. The techniques used in MIS are less invasive with smaller incisions, thereby providing quicker recovery times and reduced complications. Robotic-assisted surgeries also have the advantages of increased precision, control, and consistency in complicated procedures like joint replacements and spinal surgeries. The integration of 3D printing also means that implants are customized to the anatomy of the patient, which helps improve functionality and reduces complications. Advances in bone regeneration, such as stem cell therapy and bioactive materials, enhance the healing process and promise alternative treatments beyond traditional methods. With advances in prosthetic materials, prolonging implant life, and the development of patient-specific approaches, these advances altogether improve the quality of care, reduce complications, and enhance long-term results in orthopedic surgery.
