المستخلص
يناقش هذا البحث استدراج المجني عليه من قبل الجاني بقصد قتله، حيث ان الجاني لايعاقب بعقوبة الاعدام في قانون العقوبات العراقي بمجرد قيامه بقتل انسان اخر بل لابد ان يصطحب القتل بظرف من الظروف المشددة الواردة على سبيل الحصر، والتي يدل على الخطورة الاجرامية العالية لديه. و لم يورد المشرع العراقي استدراج المجني عليه من قبل الجاني بقصد قتله من قبيل هذه الظروف. لسد هذا النقص التشريعي ولكثرة وقائع ارتكاب جريمة القتل عن طريق الاستدراج في الآونة الاخيرة؛ ودلالته على الخطورة الاجرامية للجاني كونه يستخدم هذه الوسيلة الغادرة والمفاجأة لضمان تحقيق تنفيذ نتيجته الاجرامية لقد خصصنا بحثنا هذا في ايجاد التكييف القانوني المناسب لحالة الاستدراج، وفي نهاية بحثنا توصلنا الى ان حالة استدراج المجني عليه تتحقق فيه جميع عناصر الترصد بالاضافة الى تحقق جميع مبررات علة تشديد العقاب فيه بل احيانا مبررات استدراج المجني عليه لتشديد العقاب يفوق ظرف الترصد بفهمومه التقليدي.

Authors: Hasna Rizki Puspaningrum  , Dwi Sri Handayani  , Diah Nur Anisa  
Published: December 2024

The average age of menarche incidence in Indonesia in 2018 was 13 years old at 55.12%. Meanwhile, in the province of Yogyakarta, the average is 12.45 years. Generally, menarche occurs at the age of 12 years, but currently there is a tendency for menarche at a younger age. Menarche is influenced by several factors, one of which is nutritional status. These events are at risk of eating disorders, premature sex, obesity, early menopause, diabetes and breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of menarche. The research design used correlation analysis with a crossectional approach and a sample of 46 students was taken with a total sampling through inclusion and exclusion criteria.The students taken as samples were students who had experienced menarche. Data were measured using BMI measurements and menarche incidence questionnaires. Data analysis uses spearman rank. The results of nutritional status (p-value = 0.0592) had a p-value of >0.05, indicating that there was no relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of menarche. The result of the correlation coefficient of -0.081 is in the range of 95% C.I value with lower – upper of (-0.373) – 0.221. This means that there is no relationship between nutritional status and the incidence of menarche with a very weak negative direction. It is hoped that adolescent girls can regulate a healthy lifestyle by reducing junk food to avoid the risk of menarche at an abnormal age.

Published: December 2024

Undesirable noise and interference present a substantial obstacle in the process of obtaining biomedical signals for analysis and diagnosis. It is necessary to reduce the noise and enhance signal quality for many designs of medical devices such as Mechanical Ventilators (MV), patient monitors and overall biosignal processing. To contribute for addressing this problem, and for medical applications such as MV which are used for critical diseases such as pneumonia, COVID 19 etc. This paper, conducted comparative study to evaluate the performance of a 3-point Moving Average Filter (MAF) and a 5-point MAF in order to reducing noise and improving signal quality in MVs which are used in medical applications. MATLAB was utilized to perform filter approximation, realization and analysis. LabVIEW was employed for pressure signal data acquisition, implementation, and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) calculation. Experimental data, which needed for filters implementation, were obtained by running a MV connected to an artificial lung and a reference device which is used to measure pressure signal. In general, 3 point presented better SNR against 5 points MAF for pressure signal required in MVs. This approach can potentially enhance healthcare quality by providing better quality of biomedical signals which are used in medical devices.

An Examination of the Reforms Implemented by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in Australia during the Early 19 th Century: Underlying Motivations and Lasting Effects.
Authors: Nguyễn Minh Giang 
Published: December 2024

During the early 19 th century, the intellectual currents of Scottish Enlightenment significantly infiltrated New South Wales. Macquarie instigated reforms that had a direct bearing on the economic, ideological, and cultural landscape of New South Wales. The ideological framework established by these reforms continues to exert influence on contemporary Australian political culture. Employing a methodology that synthesizes and analyzes secondary qualitative data, this article elucidates the formation and evolution of the Australian economy in conjunction with British foreign trade and Enlightenment philosophical discourse of the early 19 th century, aiming to reconstruct the contextual backdrop that led to the inevitable emergence of Macquarie’s reforms and their ramifications. The article assesses the legacy of the reforms on Australian economy, ideology, culture to critically evaluate their contributions and significance. Building upon this foundation, the article draws parallels with certain reforms enacted in Asia during the 19 th century to elucidate some distinctive characteristics inherent in the reforms instituted by Macquarie.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to verify the occurrence of significant periodicity in the returns obtained in two financial markets of Central and Eastern Europe: Czech Republic and Poland. In the paper are also some novelty in the subject under study is to undertake a two-pronged consideration based on the years of the US presidential election cycle and the local ones taking place in the Czech Republic and Poland, respectively. Based on the annual returns of the broad market index in the Czech Republic (PX) and Poland (WIG) recorded between 1991 and 2024, their values were grouped into individual years of the four-year presidential cycle in the US, and then into the five-year presidential cycles occurring in the two countries studied. Verification of their differentiation was based on the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test and the Bonferroni post-hoc test. The highest returns obtained by the PX and WIG indices surveyed were recorded during the first year of the U.S. presidency, and the lowest during the second. As for the presidential cycle in the Czech Republic and Poland, they were characterized by the highest returns during the second year of the presidency, while the lowest were during year one in the Czech Republic and year four in Poland. However, the results obtained do not indicate the presence of a statistically significant variation in them, which promotes the main hypothesis adopted at the beginning of the study. Some novelty in the subject under study is the undertaking of a two-pronged consideration based on the years of the US presidential election cycle and those taking place in the Czech Republic and Poland, respectively. However, in both cases, no significant differences in annual returns were found.
