Authors: Kumar Ankush , Verma Ayush , Choudhary Rajan , Bharat Tadikonda Venkata , Sharma Ashish , Dash Saswat Biswapriya 
Published: February 2024

Introduction:
A structurally strong subgrade is always desirable in pavement construction
so as to provide a resilient and durable foundation for the subsequent pavement layers for adequate
performance under the given traffic load/volume and environmental conditions. Emphasizing
the increased awareness for effective waste recycling and demand for a sustainable construction
approach, re-utilizing industrial wastes in pavement subgrade construction can be a viable
option. The potential re-utilization of bottom ash (BA), an incombustible by-product generated in
huge quantities from coal combustion in thermal power plants, in replacing natural soil in the subgrade
construction of pavements will not only limit the extent of disturbance to ecological balance
through over-utilization of natural soil but also open an avenue for the reuse of bottom ash.

Method:
In this study, an effort was made to study the possible use of different percentage replacement
of BA (0 to 60% with an increment of 15%) with natural soil with and without hydrated
lime (5% by weight of soil-bottom ash mix) for applications in road subgrade. Laboratory investigations
were conducted for basic soil characteristics, compaction properties, and strength
evaluation through California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS)
tests.

Result:
The addition of 5% lime to the soil-bottom ash mixes decreased the plasticity index significantly.
The highest MDD and the lowest OMC were found in soil with 45% bottom ash. The
CBR results of control soil increased from 6.3% to 137.7% for soil-bottom ash mix containing
45% bottom ash and 5% hydrated lime, and the same combination showed a 104% increase in
UCS.

Conclusion:
The observed results indicated that the coupled behavior of the bottom ash and hydrated
lime treatment has effectively increased the soil's compaction and mechanical strength and
its suitability for use in road subgrade construction.

The Development and Use of a New Visual Tool (REVISIT) to Support Participant Recall: Web-Based Interview Study Among Older Adults (Preprint)
Authors: Dryden Eileen M , Anwar Chitra , Conti Jennifer , Boudreau Jacqueline H , Kennedy Meaghan A , Hung William W , Nearing Kathryn A , Pimentel Camilla B , Moo Lauren 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Qualitative health services research often relies on semistructured or in-depth interviews to develop a deeper understanding of patient experiences, motivations, and perspectives. The quality of data gathered is contingent upon a patient’s recall capacity; yet, studies have shown that recall of medical information is low. Threats to generating rich and detailed interview data may be more prevalent when interviewing older adults.

OBJECTIVE

We developed and studied the feasibility of using a tool, Remembering Healthcare Encounters Visually and Interactively (REVISIT), which has been created to aid the recall of a specific telemedicine encounter to provide health services research teams with a visual tool, to improve qualitative interviews with older adults.

METHODS

The REVISIT visual appointment summary was developed to facilitate web-based interviews with our participants as part of an evaluation of a geriatric telemedicine program. Our primary aims were to aid participant recall, maintain focus on the index visit, and establish a shared understanding of the visit between participants and interviewers. The authors’ experiences and observations developing REVISIT and using it during videoconference interviews (N=16) were systematically documented and synthesized. We discuss these experiences with REVISIT and suggest considerations for broader implementation and future research to expand upon this preliminary work.

RESULTS

REVISIT enhanced the interview process by providing a focus and catalyst for discussion and supporting rapport-building with participants. REVISIT appeared to support older patients’ and caregivers’ recollection of a clinical visit, helping them to share additional details about their experience. REVISIT was difficult to read for some participants, however, and could not be used for phone interviews.

CONCLUSIONS

REVISIT is a promising tool to enhance the quality of data collected during interviews with older, rural adults and caregivers about a health care encounter. This novel tool may aid recall of health care experiences for those groups for whom it may be more challenging to collect accurate, rich qualitative data (eg, those with cognitive impairment or complex medical care), allowing health services research to include more diverse patient experiences.
Bosques de Michoacán: guardianes del carbono contra el cambio climático
Authors: Arenas Navarro Maribel , García Oliva Felipe 
Published: February 2024

La degradación de la tierra consiste en una serie de actividades como la conversión de los bosques a cultivos y la tala, que generan emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (gei), originan la pérdida o sustitución de especies y en consecuencia promueven el cambio climático. Para mitigar las emisiones de los principales gei la captura de carbono en el suelo es importante, ya que es uno de los mecanismos que permite reducir la concentración de carbono en la atmósfera. En este sentido, los bosques templados (bosques de pino, bosques de pino-encino y bosques de encino) ofrecen un gran servicio ecosistémico capturando y protegiendo el carbono almacenado. Por ejemplo, los bosques templados del estado de Michoacán representan almacenes importantes de carbono a nivel nacional, donde los bosques de encino son los que tienen la mayor cantidad de carbono almacenado por unidad de área. Desafortunadamente, las especies de encino que habitan estos bosques podrían desaparecer o disminuir su distribución debido a los cambios de temperatura y precipitación producidos por el cambio climático. Sin embargo, aún estamos a tiempo para implementar acciones para mitigar, restaurar y rehabilitar los bosques templados de México y combatir el cambio climático.
Problems of Sensing Mentality and Development of Basic Human Potential Inventory
Authors: Riyono Bagus , Intani Zahra Frida 
Published: February 2024

This study aims to develop an inventory that represents the phenomenon of human behavior experiencing sensing mentality. Sensing mentality is a condition in which an individual experiences satisfaction and happiness only at the level of sensation or sensory experience, and these sensations are instantaneous and impulsive. The instrument is developed based on the theory of basic human potential, concluding that basic human potential possesses four layers or dimensions, namely: (1) sensing; (2) reasoning; (3) empathy; and (4) conscience (Riyono, 2023). Study subjects consisted of individuals aged 18-68 years (n = 207) to represent those active in society from various groups. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed model fit indicators, with RMSEA = 0.087 and TLI = 0.840. An indication of a tendency for sensing mentality is when the score on the sensing dimension is dominant over the other dimensions.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk menyusun alat ukur yang dapat merepresentasikan fenomena perilaku manusia yang kondisi jiwanya tengah mengalami sensing mentality. Sensing mentality adalah kondisi jiwa individu yang mengalami kepuasan dan kebahagiaan hanya pada tingkatan sensasi atau pengalaman indrawi, dan sensasi tersebut bersifat instan dan impulsif. Alat ukur disusun berdasarkan teori tentang potensi dasar manusia yang menyimpulkan bahwa potensi dasar manusia terdiri dari empat lapisan atau dimensi, yaitu: (1) sensing; (2) reasoning; (3) empathy; dan (4) conscience (Riyono, 2023). Subjek studi terdiri dari individu dengan rentang usia 18-68 tahun (n = 207), untuk merepresentasikan manusia aktif di masyarakat dari berbagai kelompok. Hasil dari confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) menunjukkan indikator model fit dengan RMSEA = 0,087 dan TLI = 0,840. Indikasi adanya kecenderungan sensing mentality adalah ketika skor dimensi sensing dominan dibandingkan dimensi lainnya.

Reconceptualization of Restorative Justice in The Attorney General's Office of The Republic of Indonesia
Authors: Andriyani Lenna , Hartiwiningsih  , Suwadi Pujiyono 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This article examines the regulatory framework and practical application of restorative justice by the Indonesian Prosecutor's Office. The adoption of restorative justice in Indonesia has been delayed by the legalistic and formalistic nature of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure.

Theoretical framework: To address this issue, an Attorney General Regulation has been put in place to oversee and regulate restorative justice practices. Nevertheless, there are still uncertainties regarding the alignment between the Prosecutor's Office's restorative justice concept and its fundamental nature.

Methods: This study uses a normative legal methodology to conduct qualitative research. The research indicates that the Prosecutor's Regulations on Restorative Justice are inherently linked to Indonesia's historical framework of law enforcement.

Results and Conclusion: Consequently, prosecutors continue to handle minor instances, such as those involving Grandma Minah and Grandpa Samirin, much to the public's discontent. In Indonesia, this is evident in the high concentration of prisons.

Research implications: According to this research, there should not be a connection between restorative justice and the resolution of a case. Restorative justice is distinct from the prosecutor's ability to dismiss a case based on the availability of options. Restorative justice aims to reinstate the "initial condition" and safeguard victims.

Originality/value: This redirects the emphasis of restorative justice from halting the case to reinstating it. Restorative justice is a criminal framework that enables prosecutors to pursue alternative forms of prosecution and employ non-incarceration penalties. Prosecutors can utilize restorative justice both before and after the legal process, as well as during the legal process.
