Authors: Mariani Ria , Martiani Isye , Noviyanti Noviyanti , Avini Fitni 
Published: February 2025

Cassia occidentalis Linn. or kewer is a plant that is commonly found in tropical and subtropical climates. Cassia occidentalis seed extract is safe for consumption after roasting the seeds and extracting them using a water solvent. Drink from the roasted seeds of this plant is known as Negro coffee or Senna coffee. In Indonesia, including the Garut area, there are communities who usually consume boiled Cassia occidentalis seeds that have been roasted as a refreshing drink. It calls kewer tea. Cassia occidentalis seeds contain phenolic compounds. Phenol compounds are one of the secondary metabolites that have antioxidant activity. Behalf of that this research aims to determine the antioxidant activity of steeping, infusion and decoction of roasted Cassia occidentalis seed powder and to analysis the active compound content of three extracts. Antioxidant activity was tested using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhidrazil) method, and active compounds were identified using LC-MS/MS analyses. The results of the antioxidant activity test showed that the roasted kewer seed steeping had the highest antioxidant activity compared to the infusion and decoction, with an IC50 value of 57.864 µg/ml. The results of compound content analysis using LC-MS/MS indicated 13 compounds in the steeping, 15 compounds in the infusion, and 16 compounds in the decoction. It is suspected that compounds that play a role in antioxidant activity in steeping include flavonoids, lignans, and stilbenes, which are lost or reduced in levels in infusions and decoctions.

A necessidade da formação continuada para docentes e as habilidades essenciais para a inserção da cultura digital, proporciona uma metamorfose na prática pedagógica, adotada pelo(a) professor(a) em seu ofício. Esta formação permite oferecer a este profissional da educação condições de estabelecer uma relação mais aproximada com as tecnologias utilizadas, além de conhecer os percursos metodológicos adotados. Com a chegada das TICs (Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação), o uso desses aparatos tecnológicos tornou-se essencial para enriquecer o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Assim, objetiva-se analisar a relevância da formação docente e as habilidades para o uso da cultura digital em sala de aula a partir de reflexões práticas e inovadoras. Com o intuito de alcançar o objetivo proposto foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico do tipo qualitativo, utilizando livros e site da Anfope (https://www.anfope.org.br) que discutem sobre a importância da formação continuada na práxis do professor e os desafios encontrados para utilizarem plataformas e ferramentas digitais. A formação continuada para os professores e que estes necessitam se atualizar e utilizar recursos midiáticos para que suas aulas possam ser atrativas e dinâmicas, porém nem todos os docentes têm olhos positivos para a tecnologia. A evolução das tecnologias digitais e uso dos recursos eleva a aprendizagem para um novo patamar, lugar esse onde o conhecimento passa a ser parte ativa do processo de aprendizagem, e não como um instrumento que apenas viabiliza a aprendizagem. O desafio encontrado atualmente é conseguir acompanhar esse ritmo acelerado de transformações. A metamorfose precisa antes de tudo, acontecer dentro do professor para depois conseguir realmente apoiar os seus alunos de forma coerente e significativa.
Destins de clandestins de Josué Guébo : une rhétorique de l’immigration illégale pour la Renaissance de l’Afrique
Authors: Blé Kain Arsène 
Published: February 2025

La présente réflexion porte sur la question de l’immigration illégale. À partir de l’axe méthodologique sociocritique, elle s’efforce de donner les raisons qui justifient ce phénomène migratoire clandestin depuis le mythe colonialiste du prestige conféré à la Métropole jusqu’à la peinture de la misère endémique sur le continent, en mettant un point d’honneur à dépeindre la mauvaise gouvernance des régimes politiques à la tête des États africains, surtout que la plupart des migrants clandestins sont loin d’être pauvres. C’est pourquoi l’analyse se présente finalement comme un appel à la constitution d’une véritable Union Africaine (U.A.) portée par les valeurs de la bonne gouvernance, seul gage d’incitation des Africains à abandonner l’aventure migratoire clandestine en vue de participer au développement du continent pour une Renaissance Africaine certaine.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of four crude glycerin levels in the diet of feedlot lambs on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. Forty three-month-old crossbred Santa Inês x Dorper lambs weighing 18.2 ± 0.169 kg were used in a completely randomized design, with four diets and 10 replicates per diet. The animals were housed in individual pens. The trial period (42 days) was preceded by 14 days of adaptation to handling and diet. Final body weight (FBW), empty body weight (EBW), average daily weight gain, feed conversion, and feed efficiency did not differ with crude glycerin levels in the diet. Nutrient intake (dry matter (DM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF)) did not differ depending on crude glycerin levels. In the evaluation of carcass characteristics, there was a quadratic effect due to crude glycerin levels on hot carcass yield (maximum point- maxP = 9.73%), leg perimeter (maxP = 9.45%), fat thickness (maxP = 7.41%), and leg weight (maxP = 8.69%). Loin weight and conformation showed a linear increase as a function of crude glycerin levels. The other studied variables were not affected by crude glycerin levels in the diet. In the non-carcass components, the full gastrointestinal tract, mesenteric fat, omental, and perirenal fat were not influenced by crude glycerin levels. Regarding meat quality, no effects were observed on the parameters evaluated in the longissimus dorsi. The addition of up to 15% crude glycerin in the lamb's diet does not affect its performance, however, the addition of up to 8% improves carcass characteristics and maintains meat quality.
EFICÁCIA DO POLIETILENOGLICOL COMPARADO A LACTULOSE NO TRATAMENTO DA ENCEFALOPATIA HEPÁTICA: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Oliveira Pedro Antônio Medeiros de , Barros Kátia Simone Cezário de 
Published: February 2025

Introdução: A Encefalopatia Hepática (EH) é uma disfunção cerebral causada por insuficiência hepática e/ou derivação portossistêmica, que se manifesta por um largo espectro de anormalidades neurológicas ou psiquiátricas, de alterações subclínicas ao coma, sendo a lactulose a terapia atual padrão. Objetivo: avaliar a eficácia do polietilenoglicol em comparação a lactulose no tratamento da EH. Metodologia: Realizou-se busca de artigos científicos em bases de dados que compararam a eficácia da lactulose ao polietilenoglicol (PEG). Foram encontrados 11 resultados, sendo incluídos 04 Ensaios Clínicos Randomizados (ECRs) no estudo, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Resultados: Dos 04 ECRs, dois deles compararam PEG à lactulose e os outros dois PEG associado a lactulose versus lactulose isolada. Em relação aos dois últimos, os grupos PEG associado a lactulose e lactulose isoladamente apresentaram melhora no tempo de resolução da EH (p=0,023) e no tempo de internamento hospitalar (p=0,03) para o primeiro grupo. Conclusão: A abordagem terapêutica da EH com PEG isolado ou em associação a lactulose parece promissora e superior à terapia padrão com lactulose, porém há necessidade de estudos adicionais para que esta terapêutica se consolide em nosso meio.

Labour mediation in Spain in times of crisis
The authors give an insight into the Spanish developments in ADR in the recent years of economic crisis. The crisis has led to a fuller activation of the Spanish ADR system. The larger number of mediation processes is clearly related to the difficulties collective bargaining is going through. As a result of the latest liberal reform which decentralises collective bargaining, a new crack has opened in the overall system: since September 2012 there is regulation on the functioning of the National Consultative Committee for Collective Agreements, granting it the authority to solve any dispute arising between the undertaking and workers’ representatives regarding total or partial opting-out of the collective agreement. Furthermore, regions without an ADR system in place should forward such disputes in their territory to the Committee.
Mediation, een vak apart

Mediation, a special profession
Based on an actual mediation the article makes it clear that a mediator should remain in its own professional role and stay away from the legal aspects of the solution. The mediator should leave this to other professional experts.The case describes a seemingly simple mediation-referral from the Court, but concealing a multitude of interrelated business and private conflicts, all with legal and emotional aspects. A judgment by the Court on just one of the issues would never end the real conflicts between parties. A facilitating mediation approach brings an unexpectedly large number of these emotional and legal issues into the open, all solved in some twenty mediation sessions.
Mediation: vertrouwelijkheid gegarandeerd?

Mediation: confidentiality guaranteed?
This article deals with confidentiality in mediation proceedings. Confidentiality is considered to be one of the key advantages of mediation. Usually the parties agree that they will not be compelled to produce evidence concerning the mediation, nor call the mediator as a witness in case of subsequent judicial proceedings. However, it is not sure how the court in civil judicial proceedings will handle such an agreement. The court will have to balance the interests of confidentiality and establishing the truth. In some cases it is clear that the court should not respect the confidentiality agreement, for example when there is an obligation to disclose evidence of a criminal offence. In other cases there might be proper grounds to let the confidentiality prevail, but there is no guarantee that the court will respect the confidentiality agreement. As part of the implementation of the European directive on mediation Member States are obliged to adopt provisions about admissibility of evidence in civil judicial proceedings in order to protect certain aspects of confidentiality of mediation proceedings.

Student assignment ‘Mediation in commercial disputes – a conflict management too!’
Research shows that many companies are unfamiliar with Effective Dispute Resolution (EDR) methods. Increasingly however managers wish to effectively solve disputes. This has resulted in the development of a simple tool for managers. Our conflict resolution chart is based on a literature study of factors proven to play a role in the choice for a particular dispute resolution method. The conflict resolution chart was refined based on the answers of ten managers to a questionnaire about the developed tool. The manager can use the chart as a first indicator of what course of actions with regard to the conflict he has to take.

The meaning of the Directive from the NMI’s perspective
On 21 May 2008 the European Directive on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters was adopted. The directive will have to be implemented in Dutch legislation before 21 May 2011. The objective of the Directive is to facilitate access to alternative dispute resolution and to promote the amicable settlement of disputes, by encouraging the use of mediation and by ensuring a balanced relationship between mediation and judicial proceedings (Article 1(1)). As a result of the arrival of the European Mediation Directive mediation the Netherlands will get a legal basis and thereby recognition. This article inter alia discusses the Mediation Directive from the NMI's perspective and discusses the articles from the Directive relevant to NMI step by step.
Gerechtelijke procedure en mediation: verschillende denkpistes
Authors: Demeyere Luc 
Published: February 2025

Court procedure and mediation: several lines of thought
When a lawyer has his/her intake meeting with a client and ponders whether the case is to be taken to court or whether it is appropriate for mediation, different parameters have to be considered.Mr Green finds out that this photovoltaic installation does not produce the output initially guaranteed, and his lawyer will first have a look at the terms and conditions on guarantee and liability in the sales contract. The lawyer should consider time, cost, potential outcome and future relations between the parties, and compare these four parameters in a situation whereby proceedings in court are initiated with a situation whereby a mediation is started up. The assessment of each of these parameters in court proceedings and mediation is entirely different, and understanding these differences will assist in opting for court proceedings or mediation, or a combination of both. Reflexivity will be key.

EU proposals for Consumer ADR: pushed or persuaded into extrajudicial settlement?
This contribution discusses the EU Commission proposals for a directive on Consumer ADR and a Regulation on consumer ODR. The directive compels member state to cater for complete coverage of all contractual consumer disputes (whether domestic or cross-border) by ADR entities that meet certain quality requirements and to actively make these facilities known. The proposed regulation introduces an EU-wide single ODR platform that will transfer consumer complaints to the appropriate national entity. European comparative research suggests the business community’s initial reluctance to (co-)finance such external extra-judicial dispute reolution schemes (deploying quasi-arbitration or mediation) may be overcome in either of two ways: through the prospect of introducing EU collective consumer redress before the courts instead, or by convincing business of ADR’s use as an additional marketing feedback tool. Some open questions that remain are highlighted.

It takes two to tango: Power and emotions in labor conflicts and mediation
Hierarchical (labor) conflicts have a unique dynamic. Although power dynamics play a role in many interactions, they may play a crucial role in labor conflicts affecting the conflict itself and the subsequent mediation. In this paper, we look at the concept of power as well as different power sources in order to get more grip on the power balance between disputants. We show that when parties hold and/or perceive different power positions, parties differ strongly with regard to their perception of the conflict, their emotional experience but also their (conflict) behavior. For example, where a labor conflict may represent a very personal and painful event for the less powerful, it may be just one of the many tasks the more powerful has to deal with. Consequently, parties have different needs and expectations in order to solve the conflict. Knowledge of these processes is essential if one wishes to acquire insight in the power balance between disputants and/or intervene in labor conflicts.
Arbitrage in de Nederlandse bouwsector

Arbitration in Dutch Construction industry
This article contains a sketch of the use and organisation of arbitration in the Dutch construction industry. In Holland contractual issues in construction contracts are dealt with by arbitration in the vast majority of issues. There are several arbitration institutes of which the Arbitration Board for the Building Industry is the most important. This institute published (anonymously) over a 1000 judgments in 2011. The main issues of the Dutch arbitration act and of the new act are discussed in this article. The following important new developments are being described: the arbitration clause in general conditions in contracts with a consumer (the effectiveness of these clause will be severely limited in the new act); getting an arbitrational award annulled by the state judge (very difficult as it is) is limited since this will only be asked for in front of the appeal court and not (like the present situation) first in the district court and than in the appeal court; judgments do not have to contain a motivation any more if parties say they can do without (a dangerous development).
