Authors: Wijayanto Indung , Wulandari Cahya , Rasdi Rasdi
Published: June 2024

Society 5.0 era refers to the digitalization of every aspect of society's life. One form of technology implementation in the era of Society 5.0 is the existence of platform service providers. Platforms are often misused by users to violate the law. This writing aims to find out the general conditions that must be met to be able to take refuge in the safe harbor principle. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach. Secondary data was collected through a literature study. The data obtained was then analyzed qualitatively. The Safe Harbor Principle is often used by service provider platforms to protect themselves from criminal liability for unlawful acts committed by their users. To obtain this exemption from liability, the service provider platform must fulfill certain conditions, which generally include immediately removing content that violates the law after becoming aware of the content and not being involved in any way with the information it sends. In current developments, platform service providers cannot take refuge in the safe harbor principle if they play an important role in their services.

Authors: Simandjuntak Marcella Elwina , Soerjowinoto Petrus , Wijaya Emilia Metta Karunia , Mumtazah Hana
Published: June 2024

The global importance of the press and freedom of speech in promoting democracy, good governance, and human development is widely recognized. Unfortunately, despite being crucial for the advancement of democracy, violence against journalists in Indonesia and other countries continues to increase. In addition to encountering physical, psychological, and sexual harm, journalists also confront the legal consequences imposed by provisions of certain Laws that can potentially subject them to criminal charges. This paper seeks to explain violent incidents and potential articles in the existing and the Indonesian New Penal Code, the Information and Electronic Transaction Act, and the Personal Data Protection Act that might be employed to criminalize journalists. The imposition of these laws may significantly impact press freedom, impartiality, and information integrity, they are inextricably linked to press freedom and media independence limitations. A normative legal approach is used in this study. Data were obtained from existing laws, online data, research studies, and contemporary books. The study employs a descriptive-qualitative analysis. The study’s findings indicate that violence against journalists is prevalent in different parts of Indonesia. Journalists often encounter infringements upon their rights to access information by employing physical or psychological means such as intimidation, harassment, and various forms of violence, including the possibility of being imprisoned by employing articles stipulated in some Indonesian Laws. Threats of criminalization, violence and attacks against journalists will create a fearful climate for media professionals, impeding the free circulation of information, opinions, and ideas for all citizens.

Authors: Lukitasari Diana , Hartiwingsih Hartiwingsih , Subekti Subekti , Primasari Lushiana , Pratiwi Dian Esti
Published: June 2024

In an effort to understand and address juvenile delinquency in Indonesia, this study combines legal and social analysis to offer innovative and sustainable solutions. Focusing on the concept of community surveillance inspired by Michael Foucault's Panopticon theory, this study explores how Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code interacts with changing social dynamics. With a prescriptive approach, the study reveals the urgent need for a flexible legal framework—one that not only punishes but also supports the process of rehabilitation and social reintegration for adolescents. The research also highlights challenges posed by information technology, such as how unfettered access to digital media affects adolescent attitudes and actions. Social phenomena such as "klithih" are analyzed to understand the influence of family, peers, and community in shaping adolescent behavior. As a result, the study offers recommendations for a more humane and effective legal framework, as well as prevention strategies that strengthen the role of communities in educating and supervising young people. It is hoped that these findings will encourage policymakers, legal practitioners, and the general public to adopt a more holistic and evidence-based approach in addressing juvenile delinquency, thus creating a brighter future for Indonesian youth.
Integrating Due Process Into The Enforcement Framework of Criminal Law Politics
Authors: Laputigar Rendy , Suhadi Suhadi , Rodiyah Rodiyah
Published: June 2024

Criminal Law Reform endeavours to establish legal frameworks that meet society's evolving needs within the realm of criminal justice. It involves revising existing legal standards to craft new regulations that can effectively address contemporary challenges. The core aim is to keep pace with societal changes, ensuring that criminal law remains relevant and responsive to real-world circumstances. Central to this is the concept of due process, a cornerstone of criminal justice systems worldwide, which safeguards individual liberties and human rights. It underscores the intrinsic connection between criminal law and due process, highlighting their indispensable unity. This study explores the vital role of due process in shaping law enforcement practices within the criminal justice domain, seeking to assess its significance in upholding individual rights while facilitating efficient law enforcement. The research methodology involves qualitative analysis through the examination of legal texts, case studies, and evaluations of policies. Findings suggest that due process of law plays a vital role in balancing law enforcement effectiveness with civil liberties protection. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of integrating due process principles uniformly into criminal justice systems to promote fairness and strengthen the rule of law.
From Moors to Muslims: evolution of the Spanish public debate
Authors: Álvarez-Miranda Berta , Eseverri-Mayer Cecilia
Published: June 2024

How and when did the religious category “Muslim” replace ethnic and migration related terms in the Spanish public debate? What main public issues have accumulated to signify the new category? In this article we review journalistic and academic production around a selection of events that have ignited each of the main controversies about immigrants from Muslim majority countries and their descendants in the last three decades. By focusing on what cultural tropes are mobilized to frame and interpret such events we aim to account for the sociogenesis of a category that deeply influences these migrants’ incorporation into the Spanish society.
The challenging significance of the category “Muslim” in France: A socio-historic overview from the national press (1980-2020)
Authors: Poli Alexandra , Mameri-Chaambi Dorra , Conti Bartolomeo
Published: June 2024

This article aims to examine the narrative of the presence of Muslim populations in France over the last four decades (1980-2020) through the use of the category “Muslim” in two national newspapers. On the basis of selected events that have marked this period, this work intends to highlight several regimes of visibility or “topos” that challenge both the interpretations of the French Republican Principles and representations of the diversity of Muslims and of the French population as a whole. Over the period studied, the so-called “Muslim populations” gained a degree of exclusivity in the conception of otherness in France that carry several proxies along creating a rigidified (inextricable) intertwining of social, ethnic and religious dimensions.

The Oman and its traditional foreign policy: the economic costs of positive neutrality
Authors: Gutiérrez de Terán Gómez-Benita Ignacio
Published: June 2024

Oman has developed under the rule of former Sultan Qaboos (1970-2000) a particular foreign strategy with its own basic lines, without neglecting the need to achieve a regional understanding with its neighbours and international superpowers, United States in the first place. Over the course of the last three years, his cousin and successor, Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, has aimed to undergo the “smooth” positive neutrality pursued by Qaboos albeit his efforts to introduce a number of innovations have been constrained under the pressure of an unexpected economic crisis. We try to analyse whether these budget grievances can oblige Muscat to establish a closer relationship with Saudi Arabia at the expense of its positive neutrality policies regarding a number of regional issues, e.g., Iran Nuclear Deal, Yemen´s war or the Peace process between Arab countries and Israel. We think that material conditions have already had a clear impact on Oman´s neutral diplomacy, mainly because Oman has relied on Saudis to help it overcome its dire financial straits. This does not mean, however, that the current Sultan is not making great efforts to maintain its traditional commitment to a type of strategy that could be termed specifically Omani; but the fact is that the decrease in oil and gas prices has had a remarkable effect on its government´s domestic and foreign policies. And as we intend to argue, the principles of positive neutral foreign policy of a small country like Oman cannot be disassociated from its economic situation and its increasing dependence on regional organizations like the Gulf Cooperation Council (which is highly influenced by Saudi´s priorities). This direction, we believe, leads to a renewed alignment with Riyadh which, after providing generous financial aid, is well placed to impose a “new regional view” on its south eastern neighbour. This new reality might change definitely the main trend line of Muscat´s traditional foreign policy as we knew it in the Gulf region.
The representation of the Amazigh in the Spanish press: between the exotic and the Arab-Islamic
Authors: Corral Alfonso , Fernández Romero Cayetano , Prieto-Andrés Antonio
Published: June 2024

This study examines the thematic and terminological agenda of the Amazigh, or Berber, heritage with the aim of deciphering the rhetoric in the Spanish press and the recognition given to this culture. Specifically, 454 articles from eight newspapers collected between January 2018 and June 2019 were quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. The results show the preponderance of the term ‘Berber’ over ‘Amazigh’ or ‘Imazighen’, as well as the relevance of historical or international political topics when these terms are mentioned. Broadly speaking, it is concluded that perspectives on the Amazigh gravitate between invisibility, superficiality, exoticism, and conceptual dependence on the Arab-Islamic.
Social Determinants of Health in Access to Repeat Kidney Transplantation
Authors: YOO Jongwon
Published: June 2024

Background: The longevity of transplanted kidney grafts is limited, and more than half of kidney transplant patients need repeat transplants during their lifetimes. However, inequity in access to repeat kidney transplants, especially that resulting from social determinants of health, has not been studied. Methods: Using national data, this retrospective study analyzed kidney transplant recipients with failed kidney grafts (n=63,635) between October 1, 1987, and August 31, 2015, in the United States. Results: After controlling the clinical covariates (i.e., primary disease, panel reactive antibody), age, race, education level, insurance type, and job status significantly impacted access to the kidney transplant waiting list after kidney graft failure. Higher odds of waiting-list access were evident among patients who were younger, White, and fully employed and who had private insurance and a college degree. A Cox proportional hazard model indicated that age, race, and insurance type impacted how long patients waited until being listed. Compared with patients younger than 71 years, those 71 years or older had a shorter duration until being wait-listed, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.84 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.369–2.463; P<0.001). By contrast, Black patients waited longer to be wait-listed compared with White patients, with an HR of 0.75 (95% CI, 0.704–0.803; P<0.001). Moreover, of all insurance types, patients with public insurance (Medicare) experienced the longest duration to being re-listed. Conclusion: Efforts to alleviate the impact of social determinants of health should start earlier following the initial transplant. Improving access to repeat kidney transplants will build transparency and trust in our transplant community, ultimately helping to achieve the best health outcomes.
The Mediating and Moderating Effects of Types of Internet Use in the Relationship between Age and Cognitive Function among Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Authors: CHOI Kyungwon
Published: June 2024

Background: This paper examines whether various types of internet use mediated or moderated the relationship between age and cognitive function. Methods: Using 2020 National Survey of Older Koreans, the data of 8,639 adults aged 65 or over were analyzed by complex sample analysis using chi-square test, t-test, multiple regression analysis, and Sobel’s test. Results: All types of internet use were significantly associated with cognitive function and played a significant mediating effect in the relationship between age and cognitive function. Internet use for information searching was the most protective for cognitive function (β=1.902, P<0.001), while Internet use for interpersonal communication exhibited the greatest mediating effect in the relationship between age and cognitive function (Age: β=–0.131, P<0.001→ β=–0.079, P<0.001). The influence of age on cognitive function moderated by all types of internet use. Conclusions: This underscores the need to consider various types of internet use when creating nonpharmacological interventions aimed at delaying age-associated cognitive decline in community-dwelling older adults.

Notas para um balanço atualizado da abordagem computacional da mente
Authors: Meurer César Fernando
Published: June 2024

O artigo propõe um balanço atualizado da abordagem computacional da mente, minudenciando aspectos conceituais e críticos. O balanço é pautado por três afirmações ‒ α) A mente humana é um sistema computacional; β) A mente humana pode ser descrita como um sistema computacional; γ) Sistemas computacionais precisam de conteúdo representacional ‒, a partir das quais mostro que o computacionalismo clássico se articula em termos de α∧γ e que as vertentes contemporâneas são melhor caracterizadas em termos de α∧~γ ou β∧~γ. Por fim, após analisar uma série de objeções, argumentamos que o computacionalismo do século XXI é um programa de pesquisa filosoficamente relevante e que os críticos da abordagem computacional da mente incorrem em anacronismo quando se limitam a criticar as vertentes clássicas.

Published: June 2024

The aim of this prospective pilot study was to compare culture and microbiome results of the removed tonsils of patients with assumed distant focal disease (11 patients) and those who underwent a tonsillectomy, due to other reasons, such as recurrent tonsillitis, tonsil stones or snoring (nine patients). Aerobic culture was carried out for samples taken from the surface of the tonsils by swabs before tonsillectomy for all 20 patients. The squeezed detritus and the tissue samples of removed tonsils, taken separately for the right and left tonsils, were incubated aerobically and anaerobically. The microbiome composition of tissue samples of removed tonsils was also evaluated. Based on the culture results of the deep samples Staphylococcus aureus was the dominating pathogen, besides a great variety of anaerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria present in the oral microbiota in those patients who underwent tonsillectomy due to distant focal diseases. Microbiome study of the core tissue samples showed a great diversity on genus and species level among patients of the two groups however, S. aureus and Prevotella nigrescens were present in higher proportion in those, whose tonsils were removed due to distant focal diseases. Our results may support previous findings about the possible triggering role of S. aureus and P. nigrescens leading to distant focal diseases. Samples taken by squeezing the tonsils could give more information about the possible pathogenic/triggering bacteria than the surface samples cultured only aerobically.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of the dirosah masaiyah program on the da'wah competence of students of the STIBA Ar Raayah 4th semester Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program in 2022-2023. This research uses a qualitative approach and descriptive method. Data were collected using participant observation techniques. The results showed that the extracurricular da'wah activities of dirosah masaiyah were dirosah tarbawiyah, riyadhoh, yaumul haasuub, dirosah tajwid, and dirosah ushul fiqh. The da'wah activities of dirosah masaiyah play a role in improving the da'wah competence of students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting Study Program of STIBA Ar Raayah semester 4 in 2022-2023 in terms of intellectual, physical, personal, social, and spiritual. The supporting factors are enthusiasm/motivation, curiosity, sense of responsibility, a sense of filial piety towards parents, love, class fanaticism, a sense of competition, attendance, respect for the speaker and also closeness to the speaker. While the inhibiting factors are the lack of student interest, the lack of suitability of some presenters or activities, the absence of presenters, the absence of good organization, student boredom, the absence of presence and also the existence of the presence itself which makes students feel forced and not sincere in participating in activities. The implication is that it is necessary to make a policy of student participation and their achievements in the dirosah masaiyah program will add academic value.

Published: June 2024

Mr Maher, who describes himself as 'no gourmand/gourmet, just an eater and philologist/ culture historian', writes from 6215 N. Drake Avenue, Chicago lL 60659, in terms which imply a readiness to impart his views on points on culinary etymology to any PPC readers who share his interest in this field. The drawings which he has supplied of the Ukrainian babka - baba are, he tells us: '...from the pen of Mrs Alexandra Diachenko Kochman. The decidedly phallic-looking version ... makes me suspect that a particular male idol dug up near Novgorod is the direct inspiration of this one.' Since he has also supplied a printed representation of this idol, we reproduce it also for purposes of comparison.

'We All Want Some Figgy Pudding'
Authors: Atkins Anne
Published: June 2024

Christmas fare is traditional, but the traditions have been and still are subject to change. The title of this article (taken from the Christmas carol 'We wish you a Merry Christmas') may mystify people who are only familiar with contemporary Christmas puddings. It would be natural, reflecting on this, to suppose that things like Christmas pudding and mince pies have been steadily departing further and further away from their mediaeval prototypes. So they have, on the whole. But present ideas about, for example, the undesirability of consuming sugar may be reversing the trend in certain aspects. Anne Atkins has been experimenting on these lines and here presents the resulting recipes.

The Relationship Between Thinking Styles and Learning Strategies of Students Studying in the Field of Music
Authors: Aycan Kıvanç , Avcı Akbel Burcu , İpekten Funda
Published: June 2024

This research aims to reveal the relationship between the thinking styles and strategies used while studying and learning instrumental music in the music departments of the faculty of fine arts and Turkish state music conservatories. The study utilized a correlational design among quantitative research designs and simple random sampling among sampling methods (n=137). The normal distribution of the data was evaluated using histograms, Q-Q plots, and the Shapiro-Wilk test. The correlation between quantitative data was assessed using Pearson correlation analysis. There was no significant difference between the mean values of the sub-dimensions of the scales used in this research and the class variable (p>0.05). In the study, a significant difference was found in favor of males between the gender variable and only the ‘executive’ sub-dimension of the learning styles scale (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the gender variable and the sub-dimensions of the scale of strategies used while studying and learning instrumental music. The results of this research indicate that students predominantly prefer comprehension monitoring strategies and least like articulation-organization and attention strategies used while studying and learning instrumental music. According to the average values of the study, it was revealed that the most common thinking styles of the participants were hierarchical, judicial, internal, and monarchic; they used liberal, external, anarchic, and oligarchic thinking styles at least, respectively. The data obtained from this research reveals that students do not use enough strategies while studying and learning instrumental music, regardless of their thinking styles. In this case, students should be informed about the use of learning strategies and encouraged to use them. For the teachers to make these referrals, they must be knowledgeable, equipped, and good observers. Pedagogical lessons can be added to the curriculum, including thinking styles and learning strategies, or course contents can be organized to include them.

Published: June 2024

Os incêndios florestais no Parque Estadual do Cocó (PEC) estão se tornando mais frequentes, gerando preocupações sobre o futuro do parque devido às pressões antrópicas e à falta de manejo. Este estudo utilizou sensoriamento remoto para caracterizar um novo incêndio no PEC, visando melhorar o monitoramento e a gestão pós-incêndio. Dados de focos de calor do MODIS e VIIRS identificaram o evento em 18 de janeiro de 2024. Imagens do satélite PlanetScope delimitaram a cicatriz e derivaram o NDVI pré e pós-queimada para determinar as categorias de severidade. MODIS e VIIRS detectaram o fogo por 2 dias, alcançando um FRP de 35,66 MW, indicando sua intensidade. A cicatriz teve uma área de 16,95 ha e 2,56 km de perímetro. A reflectância NIR pós-queimada diminuiu um 57,6%, e o dNDVI máximo foi 0,83. O 51,21% da área mostrou uma severidade moderada-alta. A cicatriz pode ter afetado ambientes úmidos e floresta de manguezais. A área afetada é designada como "Zona de Preservação", embora as imagens de satélite questionem isso. Os resultados fornecem dados importantes para iniciativas de restauração e medidas de combate a incêndios no PEC, destacando a relevância do sensoriamento remoto para a análise de eventos relacionados com incêndios.

Turning the Art of Karanga Beer Brewing Into a Science: An Example of Humanising Biology Teaching and Learning
Authors: Nyamupangedengu Eunice , Khupe Constance
Published: June 2024

South African National Senior Certificate examination reports consistently reflect poor performance in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects when compared to other subjects. This has resulted in a decline in the uptake of STEM subjects because many students perceive them as being difficult to learn. This phenomenon is not unique to South Africa, as many other African and developed countries are facing similar difficulties in terms of student participation in STEM subjects. Reasons for the low uptake of STEM subjects include perceived difficulty, perceived lack of ability, classroom experience of STEM subjects, and lack of enjoyment. Thus, STEM educators across the globe are confronted with the challenge of making the subjects attractive, accessible to, and relevant for students. Humanising the teaching of STEM subjects by building on Indigenous knowledges has been suggested as a way that secondary education could deal with these challenges, and turn them into STEM capabilities. The incorporation of Indigenous and other local knowledges into STEM subjects could promote authentic learning experiences, relevance, and inclusivity if teachers were prepared for this, and appropriate resources made available. In Africa, many children enrol in school while they are concurrently engaged in subsistence economic activities rooted in Indigenous practices. Leveraging the insights gained from these activities could humanise and enhance the relevance of school STEM curricula. Karanga beer brewing is one such activity that we participated in as children and, in this paper, we report our exploration of the science related to Karanga beer brewing and how it can be a way of humanising and promoting the relevance of school science and other STEM subjects.

The present study made use of a descriptive analysis approach to examine the strategic factors that facilitate electronic learning among elementary school students in Hamadan, Iran, in 2023. The research community includes all of the principals and teachers employed in Hamedan’s elementary schools (N = 917), who were selected using a stratified random sampling method and Cochran’s formula with an error level of 0.05 calculated for 294 participants. The research instrument was a researcher created questionnaire whose validity and reliability were evaluated and confirmed. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and exploratory factor analysis, Bartlett’s sphericity test and the KMO sampling adequacy index. The data analysis identified several factors that affect e-learning: the creation of technological infrastructure and support services; a flexible education system; the empowerment of teachers to use electronic equipment; acceptance and incentives; support of principals and of innovative management; legal, administrative and financial systems; and teaching and learning strategies. Our findings indicate that these seven strategic factors that facilitate e-learning determined 64.75% of the variance of the entire test. The creation of technological infrastructure and support services was found to define 13% of variance; a flexible education system also 13%; the empowerment of teachers to use electronic equipment 10%; acceptance and incentives 9%; support of principals and of innovative management 7%; legal, administrative and financial systems also 7%; and, lastly, teaching and learning strategies 5%. Therefore, defining the strategic factors that facilitate electronic learning and striving to overcome obstacles to its implementation may improve learning among children.

Stress and Coping of Self-Quarantined People Focusing on Negative Cases of the Coronavirus Disease: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Kang Kyung Im , Kim Chanhee , Lee Min Hye
Published: June 2024

Background: In South Korea, many people have experienced self-quarantine due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This study explored stress, coping, and post-quarantine changes among people who were self-quarantined because of close contact but tested negative for COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic.Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with four focus groups, each comprising five people. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis.Results: Three categories of stress and coping during self-quarantine and post-quarantine changes emerged. First, the category of content related to stress comprised “problems that are difficult to handle alone.” The subcategories were “painful body and mind,” “the experience of being in a jail without bars,” and “repeated internal and external conflicts.” Second, the category for various stress-coping methods was labeled “struggling my way,” and the subcategories were “coping methods that helped me overcome” and “coping methods that added difficulty.” Finally, the category for changes after self-quarantine was labeled “more mature me.” The subcategories involved “thorough observation of infection prevention measures in daily life,” “living together,” and “a new realization of life.”Conclusions: Our findings contribute toward developing online or offline health programs to help individuals who self-quarantined but tested negative for infectious diseases, allowing them to feel confident to self-quarantine in good health.
Influence of the Negative Life Changes Experienced after Becoming Single Mothers on Parenting Stress: Focusing on the Moderated Mediation Effect of Depression by Low-Income Status
Authors: Lee RaeHyuck
Published: June 2024

Background: This study examines the influence of negative life changes experienced after becoming single mothers and their influence on parenting stress, focusing on the moderated mediation effect of depression influenced by low-income status.Methods: The research questions were tested by using raw data from the Survey of Single-parent Families and applying the PROCESS macro method.Results: First, the negative life changes experienced after becoming single mothers were found to positively and significantly influence parenting stress. Second, a partial mediation effect was observed: The levels of negative life changes increased the levels of depression, which, in turn, increased the levels of parenting stress. Third, the mediating effect of depression on the relationship between single mothers’ negative life changes and parenting stress was more pronounced for those with low income compared to those with medium and high income.Conclusions: This study suggests strategies to address single mothers’ parenting stress.

Published: June 2024

Background: Trauma-informed care involves providing services to traumatized patients with an understanding of and sensitivity to their experiences. This scoping review examines the literature concerning trauma-informed care for children.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search across domestic (RISS, NDSL, KISS, and DBpia) and international (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) databases. The search terms were “trauma,” “PTSD,” “trauma-informed,” “trauma-focused,” “trauma-sensitive,” “newborn,” “neonate,” “premature infant,” “infant,” “child,” “adolescent,” “teen,” “juvenile,” “adolescence,” “pediatric,” and “nursing”. The final selection comprised 18 documents that were analyzed for general characteristics (publication year, study country, academic sector, research design, and data collection method), population demographics, variables, and measurement tools.Results: Literature on this topic considerably increased since 2017, with the United States being the predominant research hub (50.0%) and nursing representing the primary academic sector (55.6%). The research designs were mainly quantitative (33.3%) and mixed-method studies (33.3%). Quantitative studies predominantly utilized surveys, while qualitative research employed observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Most of the participants were nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals. As a result of analyzing the main variables measured in the literature through WordCloud, variables such as “stress,” “care,” and “knowledge” had the highest frequency. Three studies incorporated or adapted tools to assess trauma-informed care.Conclusions: The findings of this review serve as foundational data for proposing future research trajectories in trauma-informed care and for enhancing awareness and strategic planning in clinical practice.
