Cyberterrorism and Self-Defense in the Framework of International Law
Authors: Alkharman Jamal Awwad , Hassan Isyaku
Published: September 2023

Objective: The problem of international electronic terrorism has spread rapidly and affecting nations adversely. However, International Law continues to view the crimes of international terrorism through the Internet and global cyberattacks as ordinary conventional crimes. This perception created an international legal vacuum. Hence, the existence of this legal vacuum in international law to criminalize these acts, which harm the security and sovereignty of states and affect global peace and security, needs to be addressed. Specifically, the study is aimed at answering the following questions: In the event of armed Cyberterrorism, does International law justifies legitimate self-defense? What are the lacunas Regarding Cyberterrorism in International law?

 

Methods: This study used an empirical approach. An analysis is made in determining whether cyberattacks may be regarded as an armed assault legitimizing the victim states' right to self-defense. Relevant legal text and resources were pulled together to achieve the aim of this research. Hence, a qualitative descriptive analysis of related legal texts and other relevant documents has been conducted.

 

Results:The research finds that cyberattack is similar to terrorist attack but the medium of the attack is carried out in cyber is on the computer via the internet while the conventional terrorist attack is physically carried out between or among terrorist members and government troops. However, in the cyberattack, the attacker and his location are not known. The international community has not been able to incorporate cyberattack law into International law because there is no consensus from member states on cyberattacks. Shortly, a coordinated cyberattack carried out through the Internet could cause catastrophic destruction to nations that depend on the Internet, particularly in crucial target areas such as transportation, power supply, and telecommunication infrastructures. Consequently, it has been pointed out that cyber warfare operations can fall under the scope of the international crime of aggression.

 

Conclusion: An existing legal literature on cyberspace terrorism is exposing a conundrum. There are possible avenues for international legal action relating to terrorism. Still, because these attacks have not occurred, states lack opportunities to improve the impact that international law can make proactively. Options, especially enhancing cybersecurity in critical infrastructure, have appeal because they are strategies against cyber intrusions that are 'all hazards.' By comparison, there is a lack of reliable solutions for foreign legal activities related to the terrorist use of the Internet and social media. At the same time, this issue has become a concern, and there are opportunities for governments, businesses, and civil societies to mitigate it. This challenging background, which shows no signs of fading, may increase interest in integrating offensive cyberattacks into counter-cyber-facilitated terrorism strategies.

Theoretical Framework: The mining industry plays a significant role in contributing to the national income. However, it is vital to acknowledge that mining activities can also have adverse effects on the environment, natural resource conservation, and even the overall economy of a country. One of the mining enterprises that can potentially give rise to these issues is unauthorized mining.

 

Methods: Illegal mining is a transgressive activity that encompasses the essential components of a penal offense, hence necessitating the involvement of law enforcement agencies to safeguard the long-term viability of development in Indonesia. This study employs the Normative Research Method, specifically utilizing library materials as primary data sources in the science field. These materials are categorized as secondary data, and the research approach adopted is library research.

 

Results: The findings of this study demonstrate the significant ramifications of illicit mining activities in Indonesia across three primary dimensions: economic, environmental, and social. The economic impact includes loss of state revenue and unfairness in business competition. Environmental impacts include ecosystem degradation, water and soil pollution, and threats to biodiversity.

 

Conclusions: To overcome this problem, a responsive law enforcement approach is needed, including community involvement, flexibility in handling situations, prevention and education, transparency, collaboration, and adequate sanctions. With collaboration between government, communities, and stakeholders, Indonesia can achieve sustainable and equitable development while tackling illegal mining.

Educational technologies: The unthinkable use of spreadsheets
Authors: Medeiros Jonas de , Gonçalves Rafael Alberto
Published: September 2023

This expanded abstract is an excerpt from the studies carried out by the authors regarding the consequences in the adoption of computerized systems in the academic environment (face-to-face and distance) in order to be a driver of student development and a facilitator of teaching obligations regarding the teaching of mathematics at different educational levels. However, when evaluating the impact of a set of virtual/digital tools directed to the calculation of mathematical expressions critically, it is common to find users of different academic levels who resort to different technological tools for simple mathematical operations, and because of this no longer resort to their own reasoning, thus losing the foundations of simple mathematical operations. Therefore, continuity was given in the investigative procedures which revealed the permanence of logical inconsistencies (arithmetic) throughout several updates of the available systems and added to the other fragilities can, to a certain degree, collaborate for considerable crises which will be explored in the course of this cut, which is characterized by being a report of teaching experiences in the critical-reflective teaching of educational technologies and a continuum linked directly to the authors' work both at the academic level and at the market level (MEDEIROS and GONÇALVES, 2018).

This work is part of the result of a monograph and discusses the reasons around the option for initial teacher training, a process loaded with doubts for most people. The choice for a profession is personal and also social, since it involves preferences, but also the opportunities that the subject finds in his context. The work aimed to investigate, the pretensions of the students of the Degree Course in Biological Sciences of IFCE – Campus Acaraú, to opt for this graduation and the future intentions pertinent to the formation. As specific objectives we seek: (1) To describe the reasons that led students to choose the course; (2) To understand how academic experiences change the way of looking at the teaching profession; (3) Identify among the students the representativeness in future teaching performance. It was held at IFCE/Campus Acaraú, with students from the 7th and 8th semesters of the degree course in Biological Sciences. Data were collected through questionnaires produced in Google Forms, analyzed and translated by the transcription of clippings extracted from the records of the subjects in the questionnaires, followed by a discussion presented in an analytical expository text, with interpretations made according to the literature related to the problem explored. The results showed that one of the aspects that greatly influenced the choice of the course was the fact that there are only two degrees at IFCE/Campus Acaraú, as options in the region, in higher education, in a public institution. But also, they had reports of vocation for the area of Biology, and for teaching.

Published: September 2023

This article presents a research whose objective was to investigate how the teaching-learning process of mathematics occurs in the final years of elementary school. To achieve this goal, two integrative literature reviews were initially carried out based on data available on the Web of Science, Scopus and Scielo and, in a later phase, a field research was carried out with students and teachers of the final years of elementary education in municipal schools. from Florianópolis - SC. In this research characterized as descriptive in terms of its objectives and qualitative in terms of approach, in addition to the integrative review, participant observations and semi-structured interviews were used. As for the use of TDIC's for learning mathematics, the results of the reviews revealed that the gradual increase in this use has been pointed out as positive. However, in field research with 15 teachers and 50 students, it was identified that, for the majority, at the time the data were collected, the technologies were not yet actively participating in this process. As with other findings at this stage, it should be noted that, for these students, mathematics was mentioned as one of the disciplines with greater “ease” of understanding. In addition, they pointed out “fractions” as the content with the greatest difficulty in understanding. In this way, it is concluded that the analysis and reflection on the relevant aspects of the observed experience, focusing on the use of technologies or, the difficulties pointed out in the teaching of fractions, can greatly contribute to the educational praxis of mathematics.

Published: September 2023

Response surface methodology was used to optimize the process conditions (blanching and drying) on the beta-carotene content of carrots. Carrots were washed, peeled, diced, blanched and dried at various temperature ranges. The nutritional composition of the fresh and dried samples was determined using standard methods. A three-factor central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used to study the effects of blanching time (X1), blanching temperature (X2) and drying temperature (X3) on the beta-carotene content of carrot. Fourteen experimental combinations were produced with six replicates at the centre point to generate twenty (20) runs. The carrot was blanched at a temperature range of 60-800C for 2-5 minutes and dried at a temperature ranging between 50-700C. The result obtained indicated that the beta-carotene content of fresh carrot was 5738 µg. The processed carrots ranged from 2478 µg to 1060 µg. It was observed that carrot processed for 2 mins (blanching time), at 800C (blanching temperature) and 500C (dryingtemperature) produced the highest beta-carotene. The experimental data was fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis and the quadratic model was highly significant (p<0.05).
Unearthing Nature's Cleanup Crew: A Comprehensive Review of Beetle Succession on Vertebrate Corpses
Authors: Mathew Madona
Published: September 2023

The study of beetles to criminal or legal cases also comes under Forensic entomology. Entomologists have understood for many years that the beetles found on dead bodies as well as the insects convey a story. Decomposition is a complex ecological process in which various organisms, including insects, play critical roles. Among these insects, beetles (Order Coleoptera) are primary decomposers and are integral to the successional process on vertebrate corpses. Beetles frequently occur in the later phases of the decomposition process, which is crucial for the body's dry bones. They are typically discovered on more decomposed corpses, and scientists have been able to calculate the PMI (Post Mortem Interval) by investigating them. Because the variety of beetles on a body changes through time, it can provide as proof of ecological succession. This paper deals with the biology of beetle succession on the corpse.  

This paper explores the ecological significance of beetle succession on vertebrate corpses, focusing on their taxonomic diversity, life histories, and forensic applications. The paper also discusses the potential for beetles to serve as indicators of post-mortem interval (PMI) in forensic investigations.

The researcher analyzed the data using mean, Sign test for K Independent Samples, Kruskal Wallis H-test, and Chi-Square test. The findings revealed that there is no significant difference in the psychological well-being and organization commitment of teachers when grouped according to their profile. The result showed that teachers’ psychological well-being has a fair level of Autonomy, Environmental mastery, Personal Growth, Positive Relations with Others, Purpose in Life, and Self-acceptance. Among the six dimensions, Autonomy has the highest mean while Personal Growth has the lowest. Regarding their organizational commitment, the respondents have high levels of affective normative, and moderate normative organizational commitment. The findings also revealed evidence of a relationship between teachers’ psychological well-being and their organizational commitment. However, there is no significant relationship between their performance, psychological well-being, and organizational commitment.

Paradigm Shift in Gender Role Representation in Laundry Soap Commercials
Authors: Leaño Alessandra Sophia
Published: September 2023

The Philippines is a patriarchal society because their former colonizers emphasized submission to the male gender. Throughout the years women struggled for their recognition and asserted their rights. However, the media portrayed them as dependent on men to reinforce their traditional roles as plain housewives who dutifully served their husbands and had to center their attention on household chores with utmost care. Using content and thematic analysis of commercials of leading laundry soap in the Philippines, namely Tide, Surf, and Champion, from 2015 to 2021, it was found that a paradigm shift has already occurred in gender roles and representation among women in the Philippines. They were initially portrayed as husband-pleasers, and eventually, they were represented as strong and independent women, which shows that they are now seen as capable of living their lives. Washing clothes was no longer shown as a way to please husbands but to make their children happy. Keywords: paradigm shift, gender roles, laundry soaps, content and thematic analysis, media representation

The inherent flammability of timber rises the concern of society about the stability and firmnessof timber materials when exposed to fire. This study illustrated the fire resistance properties oflow-density Neolamarckia cadamba timber to evaluate its charred area (CA), charred depth (CD),mass loss rate (MLR), and charring rate (CR). Three different burning durations – 60, 90, and120 min – were subjected to the timber test pieces following the NIST PS1-09 2010 standard.The CA and CD of the test pieces were measured using ImageJ before the determination ofMLR and CR. N. cadamba showed a statistically significant difference on the top CA (14040.56mm2) at 90 min compared to its side CA (1957.93 mm2). CD remained statistically unchangedfor three burning durations. Top CA increased gradually with burning durations. Side CA andCD, however, were reduced to 1957.93 and 17.84 mm2, respectively, for 90 min, before beingincreased back to 120 min. For CR and MLR, a gradual dropped in trend can be seen in theburning durations. Significant differences were detected when comparing the CR (0.30 mm/min) at 60 min with that in 90 min (0.20 mm/min), whereas the MLR was 2.15 g/m2s at 60 minwith 1.42 g/m2s at 120 min. Generally, top CA, side CA, and CD showed an increased trend inthe area and depth value. whereas CR and MLR showed the opposite.
Physicochemical Properties and Sensory Qualities of Wine Produced from Galigiuan (Paratrophis glabra) Fruit

Published: September 2023

The study used a rather underutilized “galigiuan” [Paratrophis glabra (Merr.) Steenis] fruits inthe production of wine beverages using a research development process and descriptive method.It aims to determine the physicochemical properties using Bruker Alpha FT-IR SpectrometerWine Analyzer and evaluate the sensory qualities of the wine product in terms of appearance,aroma, taste, texture/finish, and general acceptability using consumer rating test through a 4- and7-point hedonic scale. Physicochemical analysis showed that galigiuan wine is within standards forfruit wine as to acetic acid (0.41 g/L), alcohol (10.24%), citric acid (3.09 g/L), density (1), fructose(5.44 g/L), glycerol (10.08 g/L), lactic acid (0.31 g/L), pH (3.67), saccharose (1.60 g/L), and totalsugar (7.30 g/L) but less in total acid (2.55 g/L) based on the overall average. The average valuesfor glucose, tartaric acid, and malic acids were negative. The wine product had good appearance,aroma, taste, texture/finish, and acceptability as fruit wine comparable to that of Bignay wine.Utilizing Paratrophis glabra fruits in wine production could minimize the wastage of its fruitsduring its peak fruiting season and can be an alternative source of wine beverage and livelihood.

Excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been alluded to as a contributorto increasing public health problems – including overweight and obesity, diabetes, and othermetabolic diseases. Republic Act No. 10693 or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion(TRAIN), passed into law on 19 Dec 2017, has included in its scope the collection of excise taxon SSBs and earmarking of this for the implementation of the Universal Health Care Act. Thestudy determined the trend in the consumption of SSBs among households and population groupsfrom 2013 to 2018–2019. The data were taken from the Food Consumption component of the2013 National Nutrition Survey (NNS), the 2015 Updating of the Nutritional Status of FilipinoChildren and Other Population Groups, and the 2018–2019 Expanded National Nutrition Survey(ENNS). Data for this study also includes the household’s place of residence and wealth status,as well as individuals grouped by age and physiological status. Results showed the proportion ofhouseholds and individuals consuming SSB and volume intake declined from 2013–2018–2019.Volume intake per day and the percentage of households consuming carbonated beverages,sweetened powdered drinks, and sweetened tea declined in 2018–2019. The richest and richhouseholds had higher SSB volume intake. Sweetened juice drink intake declined across allage and population groups, whereas sweetened tea volume intake declined among adolescentsand adults. The decline in SSB intake may be attributed to the implementation of the TRAINLaw in 2018. Restricting inappropriate advertisement, clear labeling, and strong advocacy andpublic education on the health consequences of consuming SSBs in schools and communitiesshould be done to sustain further decline. Moreover, tax incentives may also be granted tomanufacturers that adhere to proper labeling.

A floristic study of the diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) along the Marikina River in the eastern part of Metro Manila, Philippines, recorded at least 140 species belonging to 39 genera. Of these genera, one of the greatest number of species was observed in the genus Gomphonema (18species). These species were identified and described under the bright field light microscope.Some species were further observed under the scanning electron microscope. A habitat description of the occurrence of the Gomphonema species is given. Twelve (12) out of the 18species are new records for the country: G. brasiliense subsp. pacificum Moser, Lange-Bertalot & Metzeltin, G. chinense Liu & Kociolek, G. contraturris Lange-Bertalot & E. Reichardt, G. cuneolus E. Reichardt, G. exilissimum (Grunow) Lange-Bertalot & E.Reichardt, G. insigniforme E.Reichardt & Lange-Bertalot, G. javanicum Hustedt, G. kobayasii Kociolek & J.C.Kingston, G. pseudosphaerophorum H. Kobayasi, G. sundaense E. Reichardt, G. cf. qingyiensis L-X Zhang, P. Yu & Q-M You, and G. vibrio var. bohemicum (Reichelt & Fricke) R. Ross. Hence, this paper reports a total of 44 species of Gomphonema from the Philippines, including previous studies from 1937 to date.
