COVID-19 vaccine coverage remains low for US children, especially among those living in rural areas and the Southern/Southeastern US. As of 12 September 2023, the CDC recommended bivalent booster doses for everyone 6 months and older. Emerging research has shown an individual may be vaccine hesitant and also choose to receive a vaccine for themselves or their child(ren); however, little is known regarding how hesitant adopters evaluate COVID-19 booster vaccinations. We used an exploratory qualitative descriptive study design and conducted individual interviews with COVID-19 vaccine-hesitant adopter parents (n = 20) to explore COVID-19 parental intentions to have children receive COVID-19 boosters. Three primary themes emerged during the analysis: risk, confidence, and intent, with risk assessments from COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccine confidence often related to an individual parent’s intent to vaccinate. We also found links among individuals with persistent concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine and low COVID-19 vaccine confidence with conditional and/or low/no intent and refusal to receive recommended boosters for children. Our findings suggest that healthcare providers and public health officials should continue making strong recommendations for vaccines, continue to address parental concerns, and provide strong evidence for vaccine safety and efficacy even among the vaccinated.

Introduction: Influenza vaccination may be effective in preventing influenza infection and may reduce the risk of influenza-associated pneumonia. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of influenza vaccination in preventing pneumonia when it failed to prevent influenza hospitalization. Methods: This was a case–control study comparing hospitalized cases of influenza with and without pneumonia in patients aged ≥18 years in 16 hospitals in Catalonia over 10 influenza seasons (2010–11 to 2019–20). Data on sociodemographic, virological characteristics, comorbidities, vaccination history, and antiviral treatment were collected and analysed. The crude odds ratio (OR) and adjusted OR (aOR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) values were calculated. Results: In total, 5080 patients hospitalized for severe influenza were included, 63.5% (3224/5080) of whom had pneumonia—mostly men (56.8%; 1830/3224) and mostly in the ≥75 age group (39.3%; 1267/3224)—and of whom 14.0% died (451/3224). Virus A and virus B accounted for 78.1% (2518/3224) and 21.9% (705/3224) of influenza types, respectively. Starting antiviral treatment ≤48 h after symptom onset (aOR = 0.69; 95%CI: 0.53–0.90) and a history of seasonal influenza vaccination (aOR = 0.85; 95%CI: 0.72–0.98) were protective factors in developing pneumonia. Conclusions: Adherence to seasonal influenza vaccination and starting antiviral treatment within 48 h of symptom onset can reduce pneumonia risk in severe influenza cases.
Effect and Mechanism of Bicarbonate Ion on Lead Absorption in Pontederia crassipes from Karst Water
Authors: Zhou Jinmei , Jiang Zhongcheng , Qin Xiaoqun , Zhang Liankai
Published: February 2024

Bicarbonate ions (HCO3−) are abundant in karst water with poor lead (Pb) utilization and biodegradation. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of HCO3− on the Pb removal efficiency and uptake ability of Pontederia crassipes (a widespread hydrophyte in the karst area) from karst water. The Pb concentration, Pontederia crassipes morphology, and functional group were detected. As the HCO3− molarity in karst water increased (3, 4, and 5 mmol/L), the removal of Pb increased (85.31%, 93.28%, and 95.16%), whereas the bioconcentration amount of Pb decreased (573, 501, and 301 mg/kg), mainly due to the insoluble PbCO3 and Pb (OH)2. The Pb bioconcentration factor was the highest (15,564) at 4 mmol/L HCO3− due to the maximum strength of cation exchange and cell wall protein C=O. High HCO3− molarities changed the variety of positive ions of cation exchange (HCO3− ≤ 4 mmol/L: Na, K, and Mg; HCO3− > 4 mmol/L: Mg and K), and relieved the breaking of roots, stomatal closure, and vascular system shrinking. Moreover, high HCO3− molarities diminished the C≡C oxidation, enlarged the displacement of SO42− and C-O, and stimulated the methyl transfer reaction and the bonding between -CH3 and Pb.

Upaya pemerintah untuk swasembada gula salah satunya ialah menganjurkan petani tebu untuk melakukan sistem budi daya tebu secara intensif, ironisnya sistem budi daya tebu secara intensif yang dilakukan oleh petani tebu terkendala biaya operasional budi daya dan regulasi kebijakan, khususnya Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Jawa Timur Nomor 17 tahun 2012 tentang Peningkatan Rendemen dan Hablur Tanaman Tebu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mereviu Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Jawa Timur Nomor 17 tahun 2012. Metode pengambilan data menggunakan Focus Group Discussion (FGD), wawancara dengan responden petani tebu dan pihak manajemen pabrik gula. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan analitik. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa: 1) munculnya potensi konflik sebagai akibat dari ketidaktransparanan Pabrik Gula (PG) terhadap nilai rendemen tebu, 2) permasalahan sistem kemitraan bagi hasil antara petani tebu dengan PG, di mana pihak pemilik modal atau perusahaan sudah semestinya membiayai operasional budi daya tebu, sedangkan pihak petani sebagai pelaksana usaha tani atau pembudidaya yang hanya mempersiapkan lahan dan tenaga kerja; 3) secara umum petani tebu dan Pabrik Gula (PG) belum mengetahui Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Jawa Timur Nomor 17 tahun 2012 dengan alasan tidak ada sosialisasi perihal peraturan daerah tersebut, dan 4) pergeseran atau perubahan sistem agribisnis gula dari monopsoni-monopoli ke arah oligopsoni-oligopoli (lebih liberal), ditinjau dari sudut pandang konten (isi) kebijakan, pada kenyataannya telah menyebabkan tidak tercapainya dan/atau tidak terlaksananya amanat dari peraturan daerah tersebut. Kesimpulan kajian penelitian ini ialah merekomendasikan pergantian atau perubahan atas Peraturan Daerah Provinsi Jawa Timur Nomor 17 tahun 2012 tentang Peningkatan Rendemen dan Hablur Tanaman Tebu.
Strategic intelligence: strengthening the fight against transnational crimes
Authors: Schwartz Elisa
Published: February 2024

Organized crime has developed a great deal in recent decades, crossing the barriers between states, countries and continents, as well as diversifying the activities of its illicit businesses. Faced with the global reality of the expansion of organized crime, in 2000 the UN promoted a convention to establish standards for combating transnational crimes, which became known as the Palermo Convention. The need to combat transnational crimes more effectively has led to a demand for more diligent, pragmatic and analytical information, and strategic intelligence is therefore an instrument that helps to combat these crimes.

Published: February 2024

Identifikasi binatang berfungsi untuk mengetahui keberadaan dan status populasinya. Proses identifikasi dapat dilakukan melalui jejak kaki yang ditinggalkan. Beberapa jenis binatang memiliki kemiripan pola jejak kaki, sehingga cukup sulit untuk membedakannya. Jejak kaki macan dan anjing memiliki kemiripan yang bagi masyarakat awam akan kesulitan untuk membedakan kedua jenis binatang tersebut. Terlebih lagi macan merupakan jenis binatang buas yang membahayakan bagi masyarakat, terutama masyarakat yang tinggal di daerah hutan. Untuk membedakan kedua jenis binatang tersebut, dilakukan dengan mengenali pola jejak kaki yang ditinggalkan di tanah, pasir, dan lumpur. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 34 gambar, dengan masing-masing 17 gambar untuk jejak macan dan anjing. Pengenalan pola/fitur jejak kaki macan dan anjing memanfaatkan momen invarian dan jaringan saraf tiruan backpropagation. Momen invarian digunakan untuk mengekstraksi fitur yang dimiliki oleh gambar jejak kaki macan dan anjing, sedangkan backpropagation digunakan untuk mengklasifikasikan jenis jejak tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstraksi fitur dengan menggunakan momen invarian bernilai tetap terhadap perubahan posisi dan penskalaan. Metode backpropagation yang digunakan untuk identifikasi jejak macan dan anjing, memberikan persentase pengenalan sebesar 100% terhadap 10 data yang dilatihkan, dan mencapai 54,17% terhadap 24 data non-latih (data uji). Hal ini menujukkan bahwa sistem dapat mengidentifikasi macan dan anjing berdasarkan jejak kaki yang ditinggalkan.

Kantor Kecamatan S menggunakan jaringan nirkabel untuk mendukung kinerja para pegawai. Namun, setiap pengguna belum mendapatkan kecepatan akses yang merata untuk unggah maupun unduh data. Sehingga, dilakukan pengalokasian bandwidth menggunakan metode PerConnection Queue (PCQ). Penggunaan metode PCQ karena ingin membagi bandwidth dengan sama rata untuk pengguna yang aktif. Kecepatan unggah dan unduh data sebelum dilakukan alokasi bandwidth mempunyai selisih kecepatan akses yang signifikan, sehingga para pengguna tidak mendapatkan alokasi bandwidth yang adil dan merata. Namun, setelah dilakukan manajemen bandwidth setiap pengguna aktif mendapatkan alokasi bandwidth yang adil, dibuktikan dengan nilai rata-rata kecepatan unggah dan unduh data yang serupa, yaitu 8.34 Mbps untuk unggah dan 8.45 untuk unduh. Tahap berikutnya dilakukan analisis Quality of Service (QoS) untuk melihat kinerja dari atribut jaringan sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan manajemen bandwidth dengan PCQ. Pada parameter throughput dan delay berada dalam kategori standar TIPHON Sangat Bagus, pada kondisisebelum maupun sesudah dilakukan konfigurasi PCQ. Parameter Jitter juga memberikan hasil yang sama antara sebelum dan sesudah, yaitu ada di dalam kategori ”Bagus”. Parameter yang berubah antara sebelum dan setelah konfigurasi adalah packet loss. Sebelum dikonfigurasi PCQ berada dalam kategori Bagus dan setelah dikonfigurasi dengan PCQ menjadi Sangat Bagus. Hal tersebutmenjadikan kecil kemungkinan atau meminimalkan hilangnya paket selama transmisi data berlangsung. Sehingga, paket dapat diterima dengan sangat baik dari pengirim kepada penerima.Dukungan keamanan juga diterapkan dengan mac filtering. Hal ini bertujuan untuk memberikan izin akses hanya pada perangkat yang sudah terdaftar dalam sistem jaringan. Pembatasan penggunaditujukan juga untuk menjaga kestabilan akses internet.Kata kunci: manajemen bandwidth; QoS; PCQ

The debate concerning deviance and divergence: A new theoretic proposal
Authors: Silva-García Germán , Vizcaíno-Solano Angélica , Pérez-Salazar Bernardo
Published: February 2024

This article discusses theoretical questions related to the notion of social deviance, a concept that has been a pillar of criminology and sociology since the mid-20th century. We argue that social deviance is not equipped with adequate analytic devices to satisfactorily describe social actions labelled as transgressions. This discussion reconsiders the notion of social deviance, recasting its theoretical significance and use in the field of criminology. In its place, we advance the category of social divergence, highlighting its greater analytical power to address social actions that trigger penal control interventions. Social divergence is a novel conceptual contribution in the tradition of the sociology of conflict. Its purpose is to offer an analytical model of social conflicts and their inner workings as key elements to describe, analyze and improve our understanding of their interactions with penal control systems from a criminological perspective.
Este artículo expone una discusión crítica de la noción de desviación social, un concepto que ha sido pilar de la teoría criminológica y sociológica desde mediados del siglo XX. Sostenemos que la desviación social no está adecuadamente provista como dispositivo analítico para describir satisfactoriamente las acciones sociales que se etiquetan como transgresiones. La discusión reconsidera los alcances de la noción de desviación social, reformulando su significado teórico y su uso en el campo de la criminología. En su lugar, proponemos la categoría de divergencia social, destacando su mayor potencia analítica para abordar las acciones sociales que desencadenan intervenciones de control penal. La divergencia social es una contribución conceptual novedosa en la tradición de la sociología del conflicto. Su propósito es ofrecer un modelo analítico de los conflictos sociales y su funcionamiento interno como elementos clave para describir, analizar y mejorar nuestra comprensión de sus interacciones con los sistemas de control penal desde una perspectiva criminológica.
Competencias de transición en comunidades ciudadanas: la experiencia GIZARTE LAB
Authors: Javier Castro-Spila  , Galarraga Auxkin , Koro Muro Arriet
Published: February 2024

En un contexto de transiciones demográfica, digital y ecológica el impulso de la participación ciudadana en el diseño de políticas públicas es cada vez más demandado y relevante. El presente artículo presenta el Modelo GIZARTE LAB (Laboratorio de Innovación Social) focalizado en el impulso de competencias de transición, entendidas como el incremento de habilidades personales cuando están integradas en el desarrollo de capacidades colectivas para impulsar innovaciones sociales incrementales y acumulativas orientadas a resolver problemas locales en el largo plazo. Para el desarrollo de estas competencias, GIZARTE LAB conecta la ciudadanía (conocimiento experiencial) con las personas técnicas/gestoras de políticas públicas (conocimiento técnico-institucional) a nivel municipal (local) en el marco de comunidades de transición. La metodología del Laboratorio se basa en cuatro momentos: a) Mapa de vida (competencias emocionales), b) Diseño de Futuros (competencias anticipatorias), c) Diseño de Experiencias Piloto (competencias innovadoras), d) Desarrollo de comunidades de transición (competencias relacionales). Desde el año 2019 GIZARTE LAB se ha implementado en 9 municipios y han participado 225 personas. El artículo ofrece conclusiones, discusión (limitaciones) y lecciones aprendidas.
In a context of demographic, digital and ecological transitions, the promotion of citizen participation in the design of public policies is increasingly in demand and relevant. This article presents the GIZARTE LAB Model (Social Innovation Laboratory) focused on the promotion of Transition skills, understood as the increase of personal skills integrated into collective capacities to promote incremental and cumulative social innovations to produce long term solutions. For the development of these competencies, GIZARTE LAB connects citizens (experiential knowledge) with technical people/managers of public policies (technical-institutional knowledge) at the municipal level (local) within the framework of Transitional communities. The Laboratory's methodology is based on four moments: a) Life Map (emotional competencies), b) Design of Futures (anticipatory competencies), c) Design of Pilot Experiences (innovative competencies), d) Development of transitional communities (relational competencies). Since 2019, GIZARTE LAB has been implemented in 12 municipalities and 290 people have participated. The article offers discussion and conclusions, pointing out both the limitations of the model and the lessons learned.
Applying old tools to new challenges: The necessary adaptation of the French and ECtHR judges to emergency as a new paradigm of government
Authors: Laur Marie
Published: February 2024

As states of emergency are becoming increasingly pervasive, courts can no longer rely on deferential approaches based on the assumption that emergencies are exceptional and temporary. This article investigates two mechanisms of judicial review in the case law of the ECtHR, French Constitutional Council and Council of State. The first mechanism is the review of the existence of the circumstances justifying the exceptional powers and restrictions on human rights. The second is the misuse of power or détournement de pouvoir doctrine. The article argues that both these elements of judicial review are under exploited while presenting the advantage of being readily available – therefore requiring no judicial creation – and offering strong bases to curb abuses of emergency powers. Examined at two different levels, national and regional, these two lines of reasoning, if deployed appropriately, might inspire further jurisdictions faced with similar emergency challenges.
A medida que los estados de excepción se están volviendo cada vez más frecuentes, los tribunales ya no pueden confiar en enfoques deferentes basados en el supuesto de que las situaciones de excepción son excepcionales y temporales. Este artículo investiga dos mecanismos de revisión judicial en la jurisprudencia del TEDH, el Consejo Constitucional francés y el Consejo de Estado. El primer mecanismo es la revisión de la existencia de las circunstancias que justifican los poderes excepcionales y las restricciones a los derechos humanos. El segundo es la doctrina del abuso de poder o détournement de pouvoir. El artículo sostiene que esos dos elementos de la revisión judicial están infrautilizados, al tiempo que presentan la ventaja de estar fácilmente disponibles -por lo que no requieren creación judicial- y ofrecen bases sólidas para frenar los abusos de los poderes de excepción. Examinadas en dos niveles diferentes, nacional y regional, estas dos líneas de razonamiento, si se utilizan adecuadamente, podrían inspirar a otras jurisdicciones que se enfrentan a retos de emergencia similares.

Published: February 2024

The development of a school and the readiness of teachers to teach with dedication, accountability, and enthusiasm depend significantly on leadership. Afghanistan has been a hub for educational advancement, and teachers' dedication and sense of accountability has been a key problem. The majority of Indonesia's educational administration and leadership challenges in schools, in contrast, have been resolved by professional leadership. Through a comparison of Indonesia and Afghanistan, the current study explored the function of school leadership in fostering a feeling of responsibility in teachers. They conducted interviews with school principals and teachers in both nations using a qualitative research design. The study's findings showed that school leaders were crucial in fostering a sense of responsibility at both research sites. Each nation has its own unique school principal practices and nurturing styles. In terms of fostering a sense of responsibility in school teachers, the leadership styles in both nations may be described as democratic in Indonesia and authoritative in Afghanistan as a result of the findings.
