Mengembalikan Khittah Undang-Undang Narkotika untuk Mengatasi <i>Over Capacit</i>y Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Narkotika
Authors: Nur Fadlilah Nabila 
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine the adequacy of the provisions of Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics in the Republic of Indonesia, which deals with the number of prisoners who exceed the capacity threshold of the Correctional Institution. The research method used in this study is normative empirical with a legislative approach and field data collection. The results of the study show that there are still discrepancies in the application of the provisions of the Narcotics Law, especially Articles 112, 114 and 127, due to the lack of clear rules on criminal sanctions for drug users as victims rather than perpetrators. This has led to overcrowding in many penitentiaries, as addicts who should have been rehabilitated were instead sentenced to prison. It is therefore necessary to review and evaluate the articles that are considered to be less clear on the rules of punishment for people caught up in drugs. In this way, it is hoped that law enforcement agencies will continue to pay attention to the need for improvements in the content of the Narcotics Law. So it’s hoped that law enforcement will pay further attention to the need for improvements to the substances contained in the Narcotics Law.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kesesuaian aturan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 35 tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika di Negara Republik Indonesia menyikapi adanya jumlah warga binaan yang melebihi ambang batas kapasitas dari Lembaga Pemasyarakatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam studi ini adalah normatif empiris dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pengambilan data lapangan. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa penerapan aturan Undang-Undang Narkotika utamanya Pasal 112, 114, dan 127 masih terdapat ketidaksesuaian yang disebabkan oleh tidak adanya kejelasan aturan yang mengatur mengenai sanksi pidana bagi penyalahguna narkotika sebagai korban bukan pelaku. Hal ini mengakibatkan banyak Lembaga Pemasyarakatan mengalami over capacity karena pecandu yang seharusnya mendapatkan rehabilitasi malah mendapatkan hukuman pidana penjara. Sehingga perlu adanya tinjauan kembali dan evaluasi kepada pasal-pasal yang dirasa kurang memberikan kejelasan aturan pemidanaan kepada oknum yang terjerat narkotika. Dengan ini diharapkan penegak hukum memperhatikan lebih lanjut mengenai perlu adanya perbaikan terhadap substansi yang dikandung oleh Undang-Undang Narkotika.

هذه الدراسة بعنوان "التحليل الصحيح لبناء جملة اللغة الكردية بناء على نظرية X-Bar". والسبب في اختيار هذا الموضوع يرجع إلى أن نظرية X-Bar؛ نظرية التوليدي التحويلي للسلطة وربطه ﺒ(GB)، و هوجزء من اللسانيات العامة، ومن الطبيعي أن تستخدم هذه نظرية في اللغة الكوردية كسائر اللغات الأخرى، من وجهة نظر الطرق المختلفة لشرح أصول هذه النظرية، تتم مناقشة مبادئها، و هذه النظرية نظرية تفاعلية؛ لذلك دعونا نرى ما إذا كان يمكن تحليلها وتفسيرها بدقة كما يحتوي على جمل باللغة الكردية. و نريد من خلال هذه الدراسة أن ندرس هذا الموضوع ، ونبين مدى ملاءمة وعدم ملاءمة تحليل عناصر جملة اللغة الكردية في هذا الصدد، وهذه الدراسة عن طريق منهج الوصفي التحليلي يحاول لتحديد وتوضيح نتائج هذه الدراسة، وذلك من خلال اعتماد على جمع وتحليل العديد من الأمثلة لأنواع العقد وأنواع الجمل في اللغة الكوردية. وأهم ما توصل إليه هذه الدراسة من النتائج عبارة عن: أن نظرية X-bar تقوم بتقريب اللغات إلى بعضها البعض، على عكس مبادئ تكوين العقدة، التي نأت اللغات عن بعضها البعض، لأن مبادئ تكوين العقدة لم تكن هي نفسها اللغات النحوية؛ لأن مبادئ تكوين العقدة لم تراع السوابق واللواحق، ولم تخبرنا ما هو الرأس "هل سيأتي من الأمام أم من الخلف؟" أيضا في هذه الدراسة توصلوا إلى استنتاج مفاده أن اللغة الكردية لا تقل عن لغات العالم، ونعم يمكنها أخذ واستخدام هذه النظرية لتحليل العقد والجمل.
Comparing Ridge Regression Estimators: Exploring Both New and Old Methods
Authors: Lakshmi R. , Sajesh T. A. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ridge regression presents a method to tackle multicollinearity issues. Several estimators and predictors for the estimation of biasing parameter k have been extensively detailed in scholarly literature. We offer a thorough analysis of both conventional and emerging methods aimed at precisely determining the ridge parameter k. Our investigation provides valuable insights into the properties of these estimators and their practical efficacy in various applications. Proposed estimators for the parameter k are assessed using Monte Carlo simulations and a real-world example, with a focus on evaluating their performance based on Mean Squared Error (MSE). Our estimator, in conjunction with others, showcases commendable performance, as indicated by the results.

have been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation in terms of mean square errors (MSEs), four bootstrap methods, and highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals in relation to their average width (AW) and coverage probabilities (CPs). Using two real data sets – one pertaining to the size of electrical connections and the other to the amount of protein (in g) for adult patients at the Hospital Carlos Van Buren in Valparaiso, Chile – a comparable analysis to that employed in the simulations is conducted in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested methods.

Abstract
The extensive application of polystyrene (PS) in the industry and the release of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) in the environmental compartments has raised global concerns. The ability of microbes to utilize PS as a carbon source has been currently established. This study utilized Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 11774) to break down environmentally relevant sized PS-MPs (5 µm) with and without abiotic (thermal and UV radiations) pretreatment for a period of 4 weeks. The biodegradation rate was validated using UV–visible (UV–Vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX analysis. After 4 weeks, all inoculated PS-MP samples with and without pretreatment showed marked changes in the UV–vis spectra in comparison to the pristine PS-MPs. Additionally, FTIR spectra displayed surface modifications of functional groups in all inoculated samples linked to chain scission/oxidation were highlighted by a notable increase in the carbonyl index during biodegradation. SEM micrographs confirmed the marked fragility of the particles, and a probable oxidation degree was evaluated as an atomic O/C ratio that corroborates the biodegradative potential of B. subtilis. The core finding underscores that B. subtilis can grow on, alter, and use PS as a carbon source, either with or without abiotic pretreatment, emphasizing the role of biological pathways as a sustainable strategy for plastic waste management.
The Direct Incidence of Product Liability on Wages
Authors: Friehe Tim , Pham Cat Lam 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This paper shows that changes in the product-liability regime influence workforce welfare via an adjustment of the wage resulting from firm-union bargaining. Shifting more losses to consumers increases (decreases) equilibrium wages when consumers underestimate (overestimate) product risk. We highlight an important yet unexplored link between product liability and worker welfare relevant to policy-making.

Authors: Alhassoun Mohsen , Yahya Khalil , Amer Mohammed , Abdallah Ahmed M. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This manuscript introduces the development of the stochastic Sumudu transform theory of Itô type for stochastic calculus. We employ the stochastic integration by parts method to achieve this. The purpose of the stochastic Sumudu transform is to solve stochastic differential equations and establish a method for solving them using integral transforms. Furthermore, we derive the Sumudu transforms of commonly used functions in stochastic differential equations. These findings will contribute to the enhancement of literature on stochastic differential equations and have practical applications in fields such as applied mathematics and finance. Additionally, we provide several examples to demonstrate the validity of our work.

Gender Equality in Imamate Shia and Sunni Inheritance Jurisprudence: A Comparative Analysis of Legal Doctrines and Familial Relationships
Authors: Elfia Elfia , Surwati Surwati , Nelli Fitra , Fajri Yan 
Published: February 2025

The issue of inheritance has always been a focal point in society, particularly when addressing the bilateral principle, which ensures property distribution to male and female heirs in Islamic law. The difference in inheritance rights between men and women remains a subject of debate in both Sunni and Shia applications. Shia inheritance law emphasizes equity by granting women recognized inheritance rights alongside men at all levels, while Sunni law follows specific Quranic guidelines that often result in unequal shares. Shia jurisprudence accords women the same status and rights as men in terms of their recognition as legitimate heirs within the family hierarchy. This research examines the mechanisms of inheritance distribution in Shia jurisprudence through a gendered lens, focusing on its implications for women's rights and their position in Islamic inheritance frameworks. This normative legal research adopts a gendered approach to Islamic inheritance law. The secondary data related to Sunni and Shia inheritance rules were traced manually and online from OJS websites. The data were analyzed using content analysis and then narrated through data reduction, display, and verification techniques. The research found that the Shia concept of inheritance distribution involves two categories of heirs: dzawil furudh (heirs with fixed shares) and qarabah (relative heirs). Heirs not included as dzawil furudh (heirs with fixed shares) as specified in the Qur'an and Hadith are classified as qarabah, which includes both male and female relatives based on proximity to the deceased. In determining their rights, Shia addresses the issue of gender while still applying the provisions of the texts regarding the share of men and women. Men and women at the levels of descendants (furu'), parents (ushul), siblings, and parents' siblings (hawasyi) have recognized inheritance rights, with shares determined based on Quranic guidelines. Second, Shia inheritance law consistently applies the bilateral principle, ensuring that women are granted inheritance rights alongside men in accordance with the Quranic 2:1 distribution ratio. This highlights that from a gender perspective, Shia jurisprudence demonstrates a more inclusive approach toward women's inheritance rights, emphasizing equity and recognition within its legal framework.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Inversions, duplications, and other critical medically challenging variations are often ignored by routine genetic analyses. This is due to the complexity of these alleles but also because of the inability to accurately align them with state-of-the-art methods. We introduce VACmap, a novel non-linear long-read mapping method designed to improve detection of these difficult genomic regions, including critical genes like LPA and GBA1, which are significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Parkinson’s disease, respectively.
Postoperative delirium in elective cardiac surgery is not associated with changes in peripheral cholinesterases
Authors: Zangl Quirin , Zinn Niklas , Kaiser Andreas , Bergmann Astrid , Hulde Niklas , Hagl Christian , von Dossow Vera 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication following elective cardiac surgery, with significant implications for patient outcomes and healthcare costs. The pathophysiology of POD is multifactorial, involving neuroinflammation and imbalances in the central cholinergic system.
Methods
This study evaluated the relationship between peripheral cholinesterase (AChE and BChE) activities and POD occurrence in 69 cardiac surgery patients (n=20 with delirium/ n=49 without). Cholinesterase levels were measured at six perioperative time points, and their correlations with POD and inflammatory parameters (CRP, IL-6, leukocytes) were assessed.
Results
Neither AChE nor BChE values ​​differed significantly between patients who experienced delirium and those without delirium (all p>0.05) during 6 perioperative time points. The course of AChE values of patients with POD was stable (n=20; p=0.266), whereas the course of perioperative AChE differed significantly in non-delirant patients (n=49; p=0.005). BChE values dropped significantly in both groups: both in the group of patients with POD (n=20; p<0.001) and in the group without POD (n=49; p<0.001) the BChE values ​​fell significantly in the postoperative course. Correlations between AChE and inflammation parameters (leukocytes, CRP and Il-6) were not significant, independent of the occurrence of delirium (all p >0.05). The values of BChE in correlation to inflammatory parameter was non-significant in delirious patients, whereas postoperative leukocyte values correlated significantly with the absence of delirium (day1 p<0.001 [n=48]; day2: p=0.024[n=48]; day3: p=0.005[n=47]).
Results
No significant differences in cholinesterase levels were found between delirious and non-delirious patients, nor were there significant correlations with inflammatory markers. While BChE levels showed perioperative decreases, these changes were not specific to POD.
Conclusion
As a clinical implication, it must be concluded that the measurements of cholinesterases have limited utility in predicting POD. Furthermore, cholinesterases seem to have limited value for the management of the course of POD and possible associations with inflammation as standalone biomarkers. However, larger studies are necessary to explore their potential role in indicating inflammatory states.

Abstract

Purpose: Pembrolizumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P-CT) is the new standard in early-stage triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). Pembrolizumab impact on ovarian reserve remained unknown. We evaluated the impact of pembrolizumab on ovarian reserve, through plasmatic Anti-Müllerian (AMH) analysis, in young TNBC patients.
Methods: TNBC patients £43 years treated by P-CT whose plasma samples were available before and after treatment were included retrospectively (P-CT group). AMH, FSH and oestradiol were analysed before and after treatment, then compared to a retrospective cohort treated with CT alone (No-P group).
Results: P-CT patients (N=17) and No-P patients (N=67) had comparable median age, BMI, smoking exposure, BRCA status, oral hormonal contraceptive use and baseline AMH. One year after the start of treatment, AMH fell from 1.08 to 0.01 ng/mL (p<0.0001 vs baseline) and from 1.4 to 0.018 ng/mL (p<0.0001), in the P-CT and No-P groups, respectively. 9/17 P-CT patients, and 23/67 No-P patients, had undetectable AMH after treatment (p=0.3). FSH and oestradiol were comparable between the two groups, before and after treatment. Unlike the No-P group, no recovery of AMH was observed two years after treatment initiation in a limited sub-group of P-CT patients.
Conclusion: No supplementary impact of pembrolizumab to CT on AMH evolution was observed. The absence of AMH partial recovery 2 years after treatment initiation warrants vigilance.
