When Childcare is Commodified: An Autoethnography of Urban Mothering in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Solekhah Nuzul
Published: September 2024

The research explores how motherhood constructs parenting spaces in urban contexts and, conversely, how urban spaces construct urban motherhood. This autoethnographic research uses Edward Soja’s concept of third space. The results of this study show that working mothers’ routines position them in terms of categorizing time, namely time for work and time for parenting, with a preference for parenting space outside the home. This practice simultaneously constructs temporal (time of care) and spatial (space of care) understandings for children and parents. Social media accelerates the spread of information about leisure centers, including the segmentation of care spaces. The creation of these new care spaces shows that the commodification of urban mothering is slowly shifting the role of care from the home to the public sphere. On the other hand, this domestication of the caring space can involve men in caring practices and change the stigma that caring is not only a woman’s role. Despite thearticulation of parenting as a lifestyle, the infrastructure of parenting spaces and playgrounds for children is still far from meeting the criteria of public space, as the majority are commodified, especially in the context of this research, Yogyakarta.
Voluntary Care for Older People: A symbolic Health Efficacy of Community-based Health Meetings
Authors: Porath Nathan , Insriani Hezti , Schröder-Butterfill Elisabeth , Larastiti Ciptaningrat
Published: September 2024

Community healthcare in Indonesia relies on volunteer workers who engage their clients outside fixed health facilities with limited resources and formal training. These volunteers are called cadres who learn their tasks to improve community wellbeing through ongoing engagement and without prior skills. They are drawn from the community to serve the community.  This paper is based on field research carried out with cadres through interviews and visits to integrated health meetings (Posyandu) held by primary healthcare centres for older adults in villages. The paper first discusses the recruitment requirements and the incentives for being a healthcare volunteer. It suggests that both recruitment and incentives are rooted in community values of helping and doing good for the community. Volunteer cadres must have a direct normative and semiotic connection with clients, as they must be members of the community who speak the same language and understand local norms. In line with this community-centred approach, the paper then focuses on the health efficacy of Posyandu as a recurring structured symbolic event held in the village. The argument is made that a more qualitative approach should be taken to understanding the efficacy of these meetings, drawing on research methods from the anthropology of ritual (symbolic and therapeutic) healing.
Social Skills Training For Future Leaders: Nurturing Social Awareness Through Kampus Mengajar Program
Authors: Intani Zahra Frida , Kearens Heggy , Sari Diyan Purnama
Published: September 2024

Introduction/Main Objectives: This paper examines the Kampus Mengajar (KM) program, a government initiative aimed at addressing learning loss among primary students in Indonesia due to the COVID-19 pandemic while enhancing the soft skills of college students by giving them teaching experience in schools. Background Problems: The issues investigated in this study are how Kampus Mengajar facilitates the development of social awareness and social responsibility among its participants and its relation to leadership potential. Novelty: This paper analyses the Kampus Mengajar program, its impact on developing social awareness and social responsibility, and its correlation with leadership potential among its participants. While the previous batch focused on its impact in addressing learning loss, more research needs to be done on its potential to enhance socioemotional skills. Research Methods: The research method used in this paper is a qualitative analysis of survey data as primary data and a monitoring report as secondary. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify keys related to social awareness and social responsibility themes. Finding/Results: The empirical findings suggest that while Kampus Mengajar does facilitate the development of social awareness among its participants, it may not necessarily facilitate social responsibility. Conclusion: The study concludes that Kampus Mengajar facilitates the development of social awareness among its participants but may need to be supplemented with additional interventions to enhance social responsibility. This study has also indicated that implementing socio-emotional learning at schools, which facilitates social awareness, has increased participants' leadership potential.
Filipino Teachers’ Revelations in Working Abroad
Authors: Real Don Vicente C. , Flordeliz Neill A.
Published: September 2024

This study explored the reasons and lived experiences of 20 Filipino teacher respondents in the school year 2023-2024. The qualitative method through phenomenological research was adopted. It is the method of discovering and structuring the meaning of human incidents through interviews with people involved in the real-life experience (Creswell, 2007; Polit & Beck, 2012). Patton (2002) describes that determining sample size in qualitative research does not follow one rule. There is no one rule related to sample size when using a qualitative research design. The respondents expressed heart-warming and overwhelming insights into their acculturation in the USA and Southeast Asian countries. Homesickness was the only negative thought, but it was easily overcome due to the availability of social media, which established the communication link with family members. Teaching abroad served as the turning point as their personal and professional “inputs” were outweighed by the “outputs” in terms of financial benefits, perks, and other work-life balance initiatives by schools abroad. Hence, the Department of Education should improve the economic conditions of teachers to avoid the exodus of a greater number of trained teachers in the service years ahead.
El imaginario social de la comunidad estudiantil universitaria de México sobre la actividad física
Authors: Fuentes Vega María de los Angeles , Romero Plana Virginia , Rodríguez Gutiérrez J. Guadalupe
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: analizar el imaginario social de la comunidad estudiantil universitaria sobre la actividad física. Metodología: con un enfoque fenomenológico se aplicó una entrevista estructurada a 30 estudiantes de una universidad pública de Hermosillo, Sonora. Resultados: el imaginario social de los estudiantes les hace percibir la actividad física como la práctica de algún tipo de ejercicio físico o de deporte dirigido a mejorar su salud integral. Además, dicha actividad, según ellos, debe estar acompañada de una alimentación adecuada para tener salud y bienestar. Valor: la investigación contribuye a entender el influjo que tiene en los estudiantes universitarios el imaginario social en torno a la actividad física. Limitaciones: el tamaño de la muestra no capta en su totalidad la percepción de los estudiantes sobre la actividad física; por lo tanto, no pueden generalizarse los resultados. Conclusiones: el discurso sobre la actividad física que los estudiantes universitarios han aprendido socialmente no coincide con la realidad de la acción, aunque conocen los beneficios que esta proporciona a su cuerpo y a su bienestar general. Por tal razón resulta pertinente recomendar a dichos estudiantes la actividad física mediante programas de intervención.
Prisión preventiva de adolescentes: ultima ratio y máxima brevedad
Authors: González Valdez Violeta Liliana
Published: September 2024

La prisión preventiva, como medida coercitiva procesal, constituye la injerencia más grave a un derecho fundamental; en ese sentido, los principios de excepcionalidad y proporcionalidad son fundamentos del límite en la pena mínima como su duración máxima. Con este marco, se analiza un fallo de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Paraguay que rechaza un habeas corpus interpuesto por la defensa de un adolescente en prisión preventiva con exceso de su duración máxima correspondiente a la pena mínima del hecho punible calificado. Al efecto, se revisan los criterios jurisprudenciales de la Corte IDH sobre la libertad personal del adolescente confrontando la sentencia comentada con el principio de especialidad, el corpus juris internacional, la posición de garante del Estado, el interés superior del adolescente como principio de interpretación y la justificación de la prisión preventiva en su máxima brevedad y ultima ratio.

La vertiente metodológica adoptada será la jurídico-dogmática; el tipo de razonamiento utilizado será el deductivo; los tipos metodológicos de la investigación serán el jurídico-descriptivo y el jurídico-comparativo.
Tensiones jurídicas referentes a la dignidad humana
Authors: Moreno Villamizar Manuel Mauricio
Published: September 2024

El presente artículo describe una breve evolución del término dignidad humana en el devenir histórico, destacando su valor y prevalencia en el ordenamiento jurídico internacional a partir de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos, para luego ser analizado en el contexto del marco jurídico interno colombiano, prescrito en el modelo constitucional del 91 como Estado Social de Derecho, que reconoce el carácter prevalente e inalienable de la persona. Finalmente se contrasta, entre lo que se dice y lo que realmente se hace por parte de las decisiones del poder público y sociedad en general, argumentando la importancia de entrelazar la dignidad humana con otros derechos, libertades y obligaciones que han sido determinadas en la teoría del derecho actual a través de categorías incluyentes como las de sujetos de especial protección constitucional, perspectiva de enfoque de género y respeto por las decisiones de las minorías entre otros derechos, sin desconocer los desafíos y peligros que corren los Estados democráticos de justifican irracionalmente acciones que ponen entredicho el mismo valor de la dignidad humana, y por ende, la dicotomía entre la facticidad y la validez en el ordenamiento jurídico contemporáneo.

Geração de biogás a partir da digestão anaeróbia de resíduos da dieta de cultivo de insetos
Authors: Santos Luciane de Oliveira Leite , Pires Marta Siviero Guilherme , Okada Dagoberto Y.
Published: September 2024

O crescimento exponencial da geração de resíduos sólidos tem se tornado um fator preocupante em todo o mundo, devido aos impactos negativos causados à fauna, flora e saúde pública quando descartados inadequadamente. Uma alternativa para o tratamento de resíduos orgânicos é a digestão anaeróbia, que gera biogás podendo ser reutilizado para eletricidade e combustível, reduzindo também a massa de resíduos a ser descartada. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o potencial de geração de biogás de um resíduo orgânico, gerado a partir de dietas oriundas do cultivo de organismos para manejo integrado de pragas, composto por farinha de trigo integral e levedura de cerveja, além de quantificar a geração de biogás e a potencial geração de metano, usando AME - Atividade Metanogênica Específica. Os testes foram realizados em duas bateladas e os valores de AME encontrados na primeira batelada variaram entre 0.025 e 0.180 gDQO CH4 / gSSV.d e a degradabilidade do substrato foi de 90.64%. Para a segunda batelada os valores ficaram entre 0.004 e 0.041 gDQO CH4 / gSSV.d e a degradabilidade máxima do resíduo foi de 65.75%. O volume teórico de metano gerado na CNTP com 100% de degradação do substrato (L CH4) foi de 0.786L no primeiro estágio e 0.943L no segundo estágio. Os volumes de metano gerados nos testes foram 0.789L e 0.804L no primeiro estágio e 0.700L e 0.482L no segundo estágio. Assim, conclui-se que este resíduo possui potencial para geração de biogás e a produção de metano está dentro do esperado na literatura.
Proposta de metodologia para elaborar planos de monitoramento de agrotóxicos para as captações de sistemas de abastecimento de água
Authors: Bursztejn Sara , Benetti Antônio Domingues
Published: September 2024

O uso crescente de agrotóxicos em atividades agrícolas causa preocupação quanto à presença desses compostos nos mananciais. Os processos de tratamento de água usados na maioria das cidades têm limitada capacidade de remover agrotóxicos. Isto significa que, ao serem detectados nas captações, possivelmente estarão presentes nos sistemas de distribuição de água tratada. Um dos instrumentos usados para avaliar a contaminação e promover políticas públicas voltadas à preservação da saúde pública é o monitoramento da qualidade das águas. Contudo, o monitoramento representativo dos agrotóxicos constitui um desafio. Diversas incertezas estão associadas a esse problema. A presença de agrotóxicos nos mananciais é influenciada por diversos fatores, tais como, a dependência das precipitações, as condições de umidade do solo, as características químicas dos compostos e o grau de antropização da bacia hidrográfica. Face às questões abordadas, este artigo propõe uma metodologia para aumentar a representatividade do monitoramento de agrotóxicos em amostras de água para consumo humano. A metodologia emprega a análise multicritério para selecionar um conjunto de municípios cujas captações serão monitoradas conforme uma distribuição mensal escalonada, ao longo dos dois semestres do ano. Dessa forma, é possível obter 12 amostras por parâmetro neste período. Baseadas nas avaliações iniciais são elaboradas recomendações para priorizar os agrotóxicos que devem permanecer no programa de monitoramento do ano seguinte, bem como às frequências de coletas. Além de otimizar custos, essas avaliações anuais permitem aos formuladores de políticas estabelecerem as melhores ações para minimizar a presença de agrotóxicos em águas destinadas ao consumo humano.
Is There a Need to Expand the Refugee Definition?
Authors: Cahyana Intan Nevia , Sabirin Ahmad
Published: September 2024

This article examines the urgency of protecting against displacement caused by climate change under international law and questions why Rohingya displacement has not been resolved even though it has been protected by international law, whether the harmonization of human rights approaches, national law, and international law towards refugees and climate refugees. This paper uses a literature review method and a normative legal approach by reviewing national and international human rights law. The findings of this paper suggest that many Rohingya continue to flee to safer countries, often taking enormous risks, including dangerous ocean crossings. The impacts of climate change can be categorized as persecution; the Refugee Convention requires that such persecution be due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership of a particular social group. Persecution alone is not enough. The difficulty is that the impacts of climate change are largely indiscriminate and not related to specific characteristics such as a person's background or beliefs. The Rohingya people have experienced violence, discrimination, and persecution for decades, and the international community has failed to protect them effectively. The international community has allowed Myanmar to carry out genocide against the Rohingya without taking any action, even though United Nations member states are obliged to protect their population from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. National, international, and human rights laws play an important role in determining the legal status and rights of refugees in a country. All three must be embedded and integrated, starting from international law and its derivatives to national law, which contains humanitarian rights.

Huddling behavior regulate adaptive thermogenesis in Brandt’s voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)
Authors: Liu Min , Zou De-Sheng , ZHANG Xueying , Wang De-Hua
Published: September 2024

Background Huddling is a behavioral strategy for small rodents to save
energy and improve the survival rate under cold environments and in
winter. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is the main site of non-shivering
thermogenesis (NST) in small mammals, playing an important role in
maintaining body temperature and energy balance. However, the behavioral
regulation in BAT thermogenesis in small mammals is rarely illustrated.
We used male Brandt’s voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii) to explore the
possible regulation mechanisms in BAT thermogenesis by the way of cold
acclimation and huddling behavior. Results Results showed that there is
a strong relationship between huddling behavior and NST in BAT. The
hypothalamus, which is impacted by huddling behavior, influences PPAR
signaling pathway in the BAT, and induces thermogenesis through Calcium
signaling pathway. PPAR pathway causes crosstalk among NF-κB signaling
pathway, Thermogenesis and Fatty acid metabolism to perform
thermogenesis functions. Conclusions The results suggest that huddling
behavior can modulate adaptive thermogenesis in BAT. Cold acclimation
and huddling had a synergistic effect on the regulation of thermogenic
function. In BAT, the specific pathway of thermogenesis is as follows:

Studies of Serrasentis sagittifer (Linton, 1889) Van Cleave, 1923 from cobia Rachycentron canadum (Linn.) in the Arabian Gulf; with Molecular Analysis and Optical Microscopy
Authors: Amin Omar M , Chaudhary Anshu , Badri Milad , Eslahi Aida Vafae , Singh Hirdaya S
Published: September 2024

The finding of a population of Serrasentis sagittifer (Linton, 1889) Van Cleave, 1923 in Cobia Rachycentron canadum (Linn.) in the Arabian Gulf off Iranian waters prompted the study of its molecular parameters known previously only from a population of adults from the same host species, and of immatures from northern Australian waters and from other hosts in the Red Sea. We have previously described S. sagittifer from Cobia and from paratenic hosts in the same Gulf waters off Kuwait and Qatar and detailed its worldwide morphological variability and geographical distribution. We have processed and sampled a few specimens from the Arabian Gulf off Iran for morphological verification of their diagnosis and offered a few light microscopical images that accentuate their identity in Iranian waters for the first time. We document additional diagnostic features of S. sagittifer using optical microscopy. We determine that the distribution of S. sagittifer runs parallel that of its primary adult host, R. canadum, worldwide. We have used the 18S and 28S gene regions of ribosomal RNA, including the mitochondrial cox1 gene, for molecular analysis of an Arabian Gulf population for the first time. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods were used for phylogenetic reconstructions, the sequences of S. sagittifer from Iran were grouped within the genus Serrasentis and placed as a sister group to S. nadakali George and Nadakal, 1978. Due to the lack of molecular data for other species of this group of Rhadinorhynchidae, the present phylogenetic inferences are required to continue exploring the genetic diversity of this group of species to infer their phylogeny. The cox 1 haplotype network inferred with 14 sequences of S. sagittifer revealed 13 haplotypes separated from each other by a few substitutions. Our ocular microscopy accentuated morphological details of S. Sagittifer and the haplotype network genealogy produced in this study based on mt cox1 sequences from S. sagitiffer show a phylogeographic structure for the first time; therefore, the haplotypes grouped into their own geographic clusters.

Published: September 2024

Phreatic groundwater, discovered easily around communities in the Kuta Raja Sub-district, is sourced from the subsurface and stored in saturated areas, where it flows naturally through seepage or jets. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the quality of phreatic groundwater using physical and chemical parameters. Color, taste, smell, and temperature were the physical parameters analyzed, while chemical parameters tested included electrical conductivity value, acidity (pH), and hardness level. To conduct the experiment, a total of 50 samples were obtained using a random sampling method. Physical parameters were evaluated using the observational method. Test for groundwater hardness level was conducted at the Aceh Health Office's Health & Medical Equipment Testing Laboratory. The pH was measured using a pH meter, while electrical conductivity value and phreatic groundwater temperature were tested using a water quality checker. The results showed that the physical quality of groundwater was in good condition. Approximately 64% of the samples had characteristics of yellow, tasteless, and odorless. The temperature value was in the medium category (30°C-35°C). Additionally, the electrical conductivity value of 84% was in the medium class (1,200–2,500) brackish groundwater category. It was important to acknowledge that a groundwater pH value of 6.5–8.5 based on field measurements was in the normal class. The hardness level (CaCO3) of phreatic groundwater was evaluated using the Titrimetric method based on SNI Number 06-6989.12-2004. The test was conducted on 6 groundwater samples in terms of water flow and variations in electrical conductivity values. Based on observations, 4 samples were categorized as "hard" samples, while 2 were classified as “very hard”.

Published: September 2024

Urban areas are often associated with higher crime rates, which is a growing concern among communi-ties. This study aim to investigate the spatial relation between landuse and property crime in Kuching, Sarawak through location quotient analysis. There are three method were applied in this study inclu-ding multiple buffer analysis, Pearson’s correlation and location quotient. Based on initial findings, there is an observed increase in crime levels as the distance from the centroid extends from 150 to 750 meters and decrease beyond the 750-meter. The study findings reveal a strong and consistent positive correlation between property crime and land use areas across 2015-2017. Property crime is more pre-valent in urban and associated areas compared to other land use categories. Offenders in Kuching of-ten utilize various tools to break into houses and digs holes, break locks, climb gates, engage in snatch theft using motorcycles, and break car windows to steal handbags that are placed on the right seat. In certain locations, CCTV cameras are positioned far away from the target areas. All of these factors contribute to creating opportunities for offenders. Property crimes were more common during the day-time than at night as during the daytime may be attributed to more people being active outside their homes, providing criminals with easier targets. At night, people tend to stay home, the opportunity for property crimes decreases. The study provides crucial geographic crime information to the Commis-sion of Kuching North City Hall and the Council of the City of Kuching South to enhance urban safety.

Authors: Mohytych Roman
Published: September 2024

The author describes the architectural and archaeological research conducted by him, or with his participation, of objects in the north-eastern part of the lviv's midtown, which probably belong to the period of the formation of a new part of the city, intended for the capital of the Rus kingdom (mid. XIII - mid. XIV c.). Described: 1 - features of a well-preserved fragment of the defensive high wall of the city, indicating its construction on a previously uninhabited area; 2 - mysterious relics of the original layout and elements of the late Romanesque architecture of the representative building, which was later incorporated into the monastic ensemble; 3 - masonry features and construction periodization of the circle of the main courtyard of the Dominican monastery, indicating two early stages of its construction: 2 half XIII century and the beginning 15th century; 4 – an archaeologically uncovered section of a part of a high wall, which had a distinctly representative character; 5 – a stone underground liturgical chest behind the main altar of the Church. A cursory historiographical review of the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the Dominican monastery in Lviv and a new interpretation of the sources in the light of the findings presented have been added. The research adds new arguments in favor of the localization of the palace-residence of Prince Lev Danylovych in this part of the Midtown, and it is even quite confident to interpret the preserved building structures and architectural elements as his relics. Key words: formation of Midtown, high defensive wall, princely palace-residence; Dominican monastery, masonry technique.
CASTLE OF CASIMIR III THE GREAT IN ZŁOTORIA
Authors: Zaniewski Piotr
Published: September 2024

The ruins of the castle in Złotoria were not the subject of interest for a long time after the Second World War. The first architectural and construction inventory was prepared in 1966. At that time, a description of the castle ruins was also made. These were preliminary architectural studies of the monument. Special actions were recommended to save the fragments of walls that were sliding into the Vistula at that time. The next construction and conservation inventory was prepared by researchers from Toruń in 1967. The area of the castle in Złotoria had never been the subject of methodical archaeological excavations, nor detailed historical studies. Situated on the waters of the Vistula and Drwęca, the picturesque ruins of the castle gradually underwent further gradual degradation. The results of archaeological research would probably allow for a more precise reconstruction of the original spatial layout of the castle and for determining any spatial transformations that took place from the 14th to the 20th century. To this day, fragments of the castle in ruins have survived: the foundations and lower parts of the angular tower, significant fragments of the southern and south-eastern defensive walls, the foundations of the gate building standing on the southern side, as well as traces of a wide moat separating the promontory built with the stronghold from the mainland. The aim of the article is to present the results of detailed historical studies and to develop guidelines for organizing a methodical cycle of archaeological and architectural research, related to historical investigation.
