Everyday Heroism and the Journey of the Community in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
Authors:   University of Helsinki, Käkelä Jari
Published: November 2024

This article examines the impact of everyday heroism on community in the science fiction novel The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (2014) by Becky Chambers. While science fiction often features superhuman action or scientist heroes and technocratic dystopian futures, Chambers’s novel represents the recent trend of hopepunk, which sets stories within mundane social interactions to imagine gradual positive change. Instead of its action-adventure potential, the narrative in Chambers’s novel focuses on the relationships between a multi-species crew of a spaceship, creating a heightened sense of the crew as a found family where individuals come to accept and support each other – and in this way, the story centers around the journey of the community towards equality, inclusion, and hope. I argue that the everyday heroism in the novel is transparent but highly prosocial, overall resulting in a representation of everyday heroism as a way to imagine more hopeful futures.
Enduring Heroism in the Face of Inequality and Injustice: Who Steps Up and Why?
Authors:   University of Wisconsin-Madison, Ryff Carol
Published: November 2024

Enduring heroism defined as persistent efforts to confront inequality and injustice is the focus of this article. Six exemplars are considered: Harriet Tubman, Crazy Horse, Jane Addams, Mohandas Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X. Similarities and differences in their pursuits are considered and linked to the larger literature on heroism. They are also contrasted with enduring anti-heroes to elevate roles of virtue and benevolence in long-term efforts to correct societal ills. What motivates enduring heroism is a central question. A hypothesis put forth is that distinct dimensions of eudaimonic well-being – especially, purpose in life, autonomy, environmental mastery, and personal growth – may be key elements that fuel efforts of enduring heroes. A final section underscores the need for such individuals in our era, drawing on wide-ranging evidence that inequality and injustice are worsening and have been exacerbated by major historical events (Great Recession, COVID-19 pandemic). Now more than ever enduring heroes are needed to help redress the enormous suffering around us.
International Law in the Sudanese War 2023: An Overview of the Conflict and Law Enforcement
Authors: Gunawan Yordan , Putra Muh Raqi Pratama , Khairi Muh Faqih Al , Arumbinang Mohammad Hazyar
Published: November 2024

In early 2023, Sudan faced significant turmoil primarily driven by a civil war involving prominent military factions. The conflict stemmed from a power struggle and ideological differences between General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan, who assumed leadership of the armed forces and presidency, and his deputy, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who also heads the Paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF). This research aims to analyze the Sudanese conflict's impact on the population and the role of international law in addressing violations during the crisis. The war has exacted a heavy toll on Sudanese civilians, resulting in substantial loss of life and exacerbating humanitarian crises across the country. International law emerges as a crucial avenue for holding accountable those responsible for violations, encompassing both military and civilian populations. Employing sociolegal juridical methods, this study examines existing data pertaining to the Sudanese conflict and scrutinizes how international organizations enforce legal standards within this context. By leveraging international legal frameworks, this research advocates for applying legal sanctions to address violations committed by the Sudanese government and associated military factions. This approach seeks to provide legal recourse and justice for affected civilians while highlighting the imperative of international law in fostering accountability and peace amid ongoing conflict.
Extrajudicial Killings over the Drug War in the Philippines under the ICC Jurisdiction
Authors: Gunawan Yordan , Permana Vensky Ghaniiyyu Putri
Published: November 2024

Extrajudicial killings in the Philippines have escalated, resulting in severe human rights violations exacerbated by the enforcement of drug war policies, which have led to numerous deaths without due legal process. These killings constitute serious crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This paper examines how the ICC can serve as an international mechanism for addressing extrajudicial executions in the Philippines' drug war. Employing normative legal research methodology, the study utilizes legal sources focused on normative law as primary data. The ICC, functioning as a permanent court, is mandated to prosecute individuals responsible for international crimes under the Rome Statute. The findings confirm that extrajudicial killings in the Philippines qualify as international crimes, thus within the ICC's purview. Consequently, the ICC's involvement should not be construed as a challenge to national sovereignty but rather as a catalyst for strengthening global criminal justice frameworks. By holding perpetrators accountable, the ICC can stimulate the development of national criminal justice systems worldwide and encourage the enactment of domestic laws addressing egregious human rights violations and breaches of international humanitarian law. This role underscores the ICC's mission to promote universal ideals and ensure justice for victims of grave international offenses.

We will give a new characterization of a frame for H, we give our definition of a frame for the Hilbert space l2(H), we also define and give the properties of the frame operator. We equally show that our definition is equivalent to the definition of a frame for the Hilbert space H. Finally, we give a way to construct frames for l2(Hn) from frames for l2(Hp) such that p<n via fusion frame theory.
Apoyo y protección del derecho a amamantar en mujeres que trabajan
Authors: Bolaños-Villar Adriana Verónica
Published: November 2024

El amamantamiento brinda numerosos beneficios tanto para la madre como para el hijo, pero su práctica suele inter-rumpirse cuando la mujer se reincorpora al trabajo. En México, hay políticas públicas e iniciativas que promueven y protegen el amamantar, incluyendo leyes que otorgan descansos durante la jornada laboral, para la extracción de leche. El entorno laboral desempeña un papel importante en la promoción y mantenimiento de la lactancia materna; es crucial que las madres que amamantan reciban el apoyo necesario y dispongan de instalaciones adecuadas en su lugar de trabajo para continuar con esta práctica. La instalación de lactarios, así como la información y aplicación de las mejores prácticas para la lactancia en el área de trabajo, contribuyen al éxito del amamantamiento en el perio-do de lactancia, tan importante para el desarrollo físico y psíquico del niño. Palabras clave: Lactancia materna, mujeres trabajadoras, política pública, lactarios, amamantamiento.
The Rise of Sinpageuk and the Development of Yeonhui in the 1910s
Authors:   National Gugak Center, Kim Minsu
Published: November 2024

This paper reexamines the aspects of yeonhui (traditional performing arts) unfolded in the relationship with sinpageuk (westernized theatrical play introduced from Japan) in the 1910s, which has been under-researched, focusing on the previous studies on the theater and Gyeongseong Gupa (lit. old school) Actors' Guild, which are key topics related to this period.
As a result, there were significant differences from existing discussions in many ways. It has been assumed that yeonhui performances in theaters were reduced due to the introduction of sinpageuk in the 1910s. However, except for Yeonheungsa, which actively accepted sinpageuk and operated it as a dedicated theater among the representative Korean theaters in the 1910s, it was confirmed that yeonhui in Gwangmudae, Jangansa, and Danseongsa during the first and second half of the 1910s had a numerical advantage over sinpageuk in terms of the frequency of performances.
Furthermore, the formation of the Gyeongseong Gupa Actors' Guild was not influenced by the decline of yeonhui performances due to the popularity of sinpageuk, but rather by the fact that it was organized with the permission of the Japanese government in order to take charge of entertainment at the exhibition Mulsan Gongjinhoe that the Japanese thoroughly prepared in 1915 for the purpose of promoting the legitimacy of their colonial rule. Moreover, the ‘new and old school performances’ promoted by the Gyeongseong Gupa Actors' Guild were the sinpageuk performance by old school actors, not by sinpageuk troupes, and the ‘sinpa gaeryangdan’ (lit. new school reform troupe) organized by the Gyeongseong Gupa Actors' Guild was a measure taken in cooperation with the Gyeongseong Gupa Actors' Guild for sinpa actors who were on the verge of extinction.

Authors: Rizki Prasetio , Wardatun Atun , Mutawali Muhammad
Published: November 2024

This research aims to describe the similarities and differences in the traditional marriages of the Mbojo and Samawa tribes, as well as how Islamic legal anthropology analyzes these aspects. The study employs qualitative research through field research methods. A qualitative approach is used to observe and convey information that will produce clear data, based on community activities regarding how they are subjects within the research object. This research also contains comparative elements, which involve comparing two situations, events, and occurrences. In this case, the researcher applies a comparative method to the traditional marriages of the Mbojo tribe (Bima) and the Samawa tribe (Sumbawa). Data collection techniques in this study are obtained through direct observation in the field and interviews. Additionally, the data used in this research is supported by literature sources such as books, theses, journals, internet media, and others that support the research. The results of this study indicate that one of the purposes of marriage is to create a family that is peaceful, secure, and harmonious, in line with the concept of sakinah mawaddah wa rahmah. Marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman. In anthropology, culture is a system of ideas, actions, and human works that encompass beliefs, arts, morals, laws, and customs. In Indonesia, each region has its own unique culture, including in wedding ceremonies, such as those of the Mbojo tribe in Bima and the Samawa tribe in Sumbawa. Although they have different names and processes, the traditions of peta kapanca and barodak rapacar share the same purpose: to purify oneself in order to achieve a good and harmonious household.

As instituições participativas no Brasil, seus desafios e a “exportação” de modelos para o exterior
Authors: Silva Inácio de Paula e
Published: November 2024

Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, expor o recente paradigma de desmobilização das Instituições Participativas (IPs) no Brasil, ao mesmo tempo, em que se analisou como o Orçamento Participativo (OP), uma importante IP brasileira, teve seu modelo “exportado” para um país asiático: o Japão. As IPs, órgãos institucionalizados promotores da participação social, configuram-se como portadoras de um potencial ímpar para o fortalecimento democrático, conforme defendido por diversos autores mencionados nas referências deste trabalho. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com ênfase no estudo de caso monográfico realizado pelo autor, evidenciou-se que o esforço ativo contra as IPs constitui um movimento consciente em direção ao enfraquecimento da democracia. Por outro lado, a difusão internacional do OP demonstra, como será abordado, a importância perene da referida experiência participativa criada no Brasil, posicionando o país como um “laboratório” de desenvolvimento de experiências participativas adotadas globalmente.

Em Portugal, com o fim da Guerra Colonial e a instauração da democracia em 1974, o movimento associativo dos antigos combatentes ganhou uma grande visibilidade na esfera pública, sendo inclusivamente considerado pioneiro dos movimentos que defenderam os direitos das pessoas com deficiência. Nos últimos quatro anos, este tipo de associativismo foi profundamente impactado pela pandemia COVID-19, afetando tanto o seu funcionamento como a capacidade de resposta às necessidades dos seus membros. Este trabalho visa compreender o papel desempenhado pelas associações de antigos combatentes durante a crise sanitária, nomeadamente, as formas de atuação e os contributos para melhorar o relacionamento e o bem-estar dos seus associados. A presente investigação é de natureza exploratória, baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas aos representantes de seis associações de combatentes. Observámos a capacidade de resiliência das associações de antigos combatentes face aos desafios da pandemia COVID-19. Através da implementação de novas estratégias, as associações adaptaram-se com vista ao bem-estar dos seus membros e conseguiram mitigar os efeitos negativos da pandemia neste grupo vulnerável.

Published: November 2024

As fake news são uma teia diversa de informações de natureza falsa, especulativa e difamatória, espalhadas de modos estratégicos ou orgânicos. Apresento uma investigação qualitativa que combina observação participante e etnografia online (a qual se estendeu desde a primavera de 2020 até ao outono de 2022), realizada na rede social Twitter (X). Os dados recolhidos foram analisados por meio de NVivo 11. Os resultados obtidos, conjugados com a análise de grafos de outros investigadores, permitem examinar o comportamento, recursos e métodos mais frequentes tanto no campo bolsonarista quanto no campo antibolsonarista, nessa rede e durante esse período de tempo. Registei 35% de falsos perfis bolsonaristas e 32% de perfis antibolsonaristas de usuários anónimos, porém reais (estratégia para contornar a criminalização da oposição política). Em termos de conteúdo dos 200 tweets de bolsonaristas analisados, 66% apresentavam distorção de narrativa e 32% copy-paste, 40% utilizavam estratégias de desestabilização e 31% usavam expressões de ódio. Pude, ainda, analisar picos de tensão política através de trends e hashtags, bem como fenómenos de astroturfing e grassroots— além de verificar a utilização massiva do Twitter (X) para espalhar desinformação de extrema-direita, ou como campo de batalha política. Estes resultados podem ser importantes para auxiliar os debates de sociólogos que estudem as formas como os novos mídia interagem com, repercutem e criam eventos políticos.
Inteligência artificial e justiça criminal: Riscos e desafios

Published: November 2024

A inteligência artificial (IA) veio alavancar a digitalização na área da justiça. A inovação promovida pela IA trouxe novas vantagens, sobretudo, na análise e tratamento dos dados, porém, trouxe igualmente novos desafios ao direito e sua aplicação. Entre eles, destaca-se o uso da IA na área criminal, sob a forma de uma “justiça preditiva”. Partindo de experiências no âmbito europeu e internacional com aplicação de programas de justiça preditiva com recurso à IA, debate-se os riscos e desafios face ao respeito pelos direitos fundamentais na aplicação desta nova forma de justiça. Esta análise deixa claro que a utilização de algoritmos nas decisões judiciais criminais através da justiça preditiva pode alterar o carácter dos dados e resultar em enviesamentos discriminatórios com impacto nos resultados. Além disso, ao serem vistos como objetivamente imparciais, esses algoritmos podem influenciar a independência dos juízes nas suas decisões, comprometendo assim o direito a um julgamento justo. A concluir, sugerem-se alguns elementos que podem contribuir para uma agenda futura de reflexão e de análise sobre a utilização da IA na justiça criminal e a sua conformidade (ou não) com os direitos fundamentais.

Published: November 2024

Increasing fuel consumption has threatened energy supply stability, raising significant environmental and economic concerns for many countries. As global energy demand rises, reliance on fossil fuels poses serious challenges, including greenhouse gas emissions and resource depletion. In response, substantial efforts are made to develop and adopt clean renewable fuel alternatives. Replacing fossil fuels with biofuels can significantly reduce emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and tropospheric ozone (O3). Recent advances in the development of biofuels via genetic engineering have larger prospects for commercial-scale production. However, large-scale production remains challenging; therefore, to address this issue, it is vital to convert biomass into biofuels by developing revolutionary technology to improve biofuel production to meet present and future energy demands. The study aims to analyze alternative renewable energy sources and recent trends in the production of biofuel that are required to meet the demands of the global energy sector and economy while also considering future demand and utilization.

Published: November 2024

Background: ADRs pose significant risks to patient safety, making effective reporting essential for pharmacovigilance. This study aimed to assess the KAP of nurses regarding ADR reporting in Herat, Afghanistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2024, involving 385 nurses across various healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics. A structured self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to ADR reporting. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 27, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The study found that 60.8% of participants were aware of what an ADR is, yet only 5.5% had reported an ADR. Attitudes toward ADR reporting were generally positive, with 79.7% believing it is part of a nurse’s role. However, significant gaps in knowledge and actual reporting practices were identified. Barriers included lack of training and fear of legal repercussions. Conclusion: While nurses in Herat exhibit a positive attitude toward ADR reporting, knowledge gaps and low reporting rates highlight the need for targeted educational interventions and institutional support to enhance pharmacovigilance efforts in the region

Authors: Dorina Agachi  , Valentin Țurea  , Galina Eșanu
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Hemophilia, an inherited disorder primarily affecting blood clotting due to deficiencies in clotting factors VIII or IX, presents complex challenges for vaccination. Children with hemophilia require vaccinations to prevent infections that may exacerbate their bleeding disorder. However, traditional intramuscular vaccination poses bleeding risks, necessitating specialized administration methods and careful post-vaccination care. Purpose: This study examines the efficacy and safety of vaccination in pediatric hemophilia patients, emphasizing the importance of individualized protocols to manage bleeding risks effectively. It explores recent advancements, including needle-free technologies, the potential of gene therapy, and mRNA vaccines. Materials and Methods: The study synthesizes current guidelines from global health organizations, hemophilia management protocols, and clinical studies on vaccine safety in hemophilia. It highlights techniques such as subcutaneous administration, clotting factor prophylaxis, and the use of fine-gauge needles to minimize bleeding complications. Results: Findings indicate that with appropriate management, hemophilic children achieve adequate immune responses to vaccines, with reduced bleeding risks. Emerging technologies, such as microneedle patches, jet injectors, and gene therapy, offer promising safer vaccination alternatives. Additionally, mRNA vaccines demonstrate strong immunogenicity without the need for live-virus vectors, reducing complication risks. Conclusions: Vaccination, when adapted to hemophilia-specific needs, remains essential for infection prevention in this vulnerable population. Newer vaccine technologies and individualized care protocols enhance safety and efficacy, contributing to improved quality of life and long-term health outcomes for hemophilic children.

Bu kapsamda çalışmanın girdi değişkenleri 1.000 kişiye düşen yatak sayısı ve kamu sağlık harcamalarının gayrisafi yurtiçi hâsıla içindeki payı, çıktı değişkeni ise sağlık hizmetlerinden memnuniyet oranı olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaya 2019 yılı verisine ulaşılabilen 38 ülke dâhil edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda 1.000 kişiye düşen yatak sayısının, sağlık hizmetlerinden memnuniyet oranını artırdığı, fakat söz konusu artışın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ancak kamu sağlık harcamalarının gayrisafi yurtiçi hâsıla içindeki payının, sağlık hizmetlerinden memnuniyet oranını istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde artırdığı belirlenmiştir. Buna göre, kamu sağlık harcamalarının gayrisafi yurtiçi hâsıla içindeki payında meydana gelecek %1’lik bir artış, sağlık hizmetlerinden memnuniyet oranını %0,237 artıracaktır. Ayrıca en yüksek teknik etkinlik skoruna Lüksemburg, Hollanda ve Norveç sahip olurken, Şili, Romanya ve Brezilya en düşük etkinlik skoruna sahip ülkeler olmuştur. Son olarak, kullanılan finansman modelinin teknik etkinlik skorlarını anlamlı şekilde etkilemediği saptanmıştır.
VOLATILITY SPILLOVER EFFECTS BETWEEN STOCK MARKETS DURING THE CRISIS PERIODS: DIAGONAL BEKK APPROACH
Authors: Balcı Yıldız Nehir
Published: November 2024

A rise in the yield of financial market assets could lead to variations in the returns of other assets over time due to arbitrage conditions. Consequently, this phenomenon may trigger spillover effects or cointegration among the volatilities of assets within financial markets. The aim of this study is to investigate spillover effects among American, European, Russian, and Turkish stock markets during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. Employing the diagonal BEKK-GARCH model from 2020 to 2023, the volatility transmissions within stock returns is examined. The results reveal significant GARCH effects alongside modest ARCH effects. Notably, during the COVID-19 period, the European market exerted the most significant influence on other markets, whereas during the war period, the US market dominated, and Turkish markets displaying the least impact for two periods. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the lagged cross-volatility persistence is lower during the Russia-Ukraine war period compared to the COVID-19 period.

The problem of considering the dynamics of the tram as it ap-proaches the intersection to provide unconditional traffic signal priority is considered. A mathematical model of fuzzy control of the intersection traffic signals system has been developed. Rules have been proposed for the inference of traffic signal importance values for a tram vehicle and for decision on the adaptation of the traffic signal plan time parameters based on the compatibility of signals and their importance. Mathematical model implemented and validated using SUMO urban mobility simulation tool for moderate and saturated transport demands onartificial intersection.

Published: November 2024

The main features of existing methods for solving the problem of IT product configuration analyzing are considered. The main disadvantages of these methods are highlighted. It is proposed to divide the task of IT product configuration analyzing into two subtasks. Solutions to the subtask of forming a set of options for decomposing the description of the system architecture into separate functional configuration elements using divisive and agglomerative algorithms are considered. A comparative analysis of the application features of hierarchical clustering algorithms for solving this subtask is carried out. A modification of the nearest neighbor algorithm is proposed, which allows timely detection of configuration elements with completely matching descriptions.

This study provides primary evidence about the geological features in Kuala Muda district, indicating significant potential for development as a geotourism product. To collect primary data, we conducted survey and mapping activities to gather information about the current condition of 11 geosites, as well as the facilities already in place to facilitate seasonal tourism. In addition, a review of previous scientific research for each geosite is also carried out so that geosite speciality data can be summarized. The study's results have facilitated the creation of 17 tourism packages under the AncKed Sungai Batu Association, encompassing geology, geoarchaeology, biology, history, heritage, and culture tourism products in the Kuala Muda district. Offering tour packages enables the district to conduct knowledgeable tourism activities involving people from all walks of life and ages, with trained locals serving as tour guides. This ensures the preservation of geotourism at its optimal level.
Long-term strength of bitumen during glass transition
Authors: Maliar Volodymyr
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Problem. Long-term strength and durability are the most important characteristics of any structural material. Since these mechanical properties depend on their manufacturing technology and composition, there is a need to conduct research on road construction materials for long-term strength and durability. There are many studies on the long-term strength of various solids, including asphalt concrete, but there is no data on the long-term strength of bitumen, which is in a glass transition state at low temperatures. The main goal. The aim of the work was to experimentally determine the long-term strength of bitumen at low operating temperatures. It was also necessary to establish how the structural type of bitumen and its filling with various mineral powders affect long-term strength. Methodology. To determine the long-term strength of bitumen, the Heppler consistometer, which is often used in the thermomechanical analysis of polymers, was adapted. To study the influence of the structural type of bitumen on its long-term strength during glass transition, bitumens with the same penetration and close to the first (gel), second (sol) and third (sol-gel) structural types were obtained. Results. The nature of the dependences of the time to destruction from the applied load at a constant bitumen temperature differs from the similar dependences of solid single-phase materials. During the transition of bitumen to a glassy state, static destruction depends on the plasticity of the material, the greater it is, the lower the temperature stress due to the irregular complex structure of the material. Bitumens of the first structural type (gel) show better relaxation properties at low temperatures compared to bitumens of the second structural type (sol). As a result, their long-term durability is higher. Filling bitumen with mineral powders of different origins changes the structure of the binder, it becomes more ordered. The result is an increase in strength and a decrease in temperature stress of bitumen during glass transition. Originality. New experimental data on the long-term strength of bitumen at low operating temperatures were obtained. It is shown that they are described by the formula of S.M. Zhurkov. Practical value. It is possible to improve the low-temperature properties of asphalt concrete by using bitumen of the first type with quartz mineral powder
