International Legal Framework

description: The imperative for special protection of children traces its roots back to the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of the Child in 1924, a foundational concept later enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1958. Building upon this momentum, the UN General Assembly, on November 20, 1958, passed the landmark Declaration of The Rights of The Child, solidifying global recognition of children's rights. Notably, Indonesia, as a proactive participant in this international discourse, ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1990 through Presidential Decree Number 36 of 1990, thereby assuming the commitment to uphold the rights of all children without exception.

This commitment, triggered by Indonesia's ratification of the convention, places a critical obligation on the nation to safeguard and fulfill the rights of children comprehensively. Among the paramount concerns demanding meticulous attention and protection are the rights of children in conflict with the law. In response to this, Indonesia has instituted specific legal frameworks aimed at safeguarding the rights of children, exemplified by the enactment of Law Number 3 of 1997 concerning the Juvenile Court and Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection.

Understanding the notion of "children" encompasses a broader perspective, taking into account both age and mental condition. However, within the realm of criminal law, the understanding of children pivots on the concept of criminal liability. It necessitates a nuanced evaluation of how far a child, within a specified age limit, is deemed accountable for their actions within the criminal justice system.

This paper delves into the historical and legal landscape surrounding the protection of children's rights in Indonesia, scrutinizing the international and domestic frameworks in place. Moreover, it explores the intricate interplay between the general understanding of children and the specific considerations within the context of criminal law, shedding light on the complexities associated with defining the criminal liability of children within prescribed age limits.

Investigation of Charged Droplets Aspirated in the Electrospray Ionization Process
Creators: name: Markert, Clara
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2023

description: This work marks the beginning of the investigation of charged droplets within massspectrometers. It is organized into an experimental and a theoretical section. The experimental part presents the first evidence for signatures of charged droplets in mass spectra acquired with commercial mass spectrometers. In a variety of instruments, droplets and their fragments were observed in the spectra. In the SCIEX 6500Triple Quadrupole instrument, a “droplet scan mode” has to be applied to observe droplet signatures. The resulting mass spectra show a significant intensity above a certain m/z, which is attributed to the occurrence of charged droplets. In addition, in two different ion traps systems from Bruker, isolation of ions in the high mass range leads to similar observations. It is noteworthy, that the ion traps do not have to be set to a specific droplet scan routine, since the signatures appear in normal scan mode. This is important evidence for the existence of charged droplets deeply in the vacuum system of different mass spectrometers. In further experiments the variation of ion source and transfer parameters of the investigated instruments lead to alterations in the resulting mass spectra. The droplet signatures are influenced by a variety of parameters. Fully eliminating this signal, however, was not possible. The second part of this work aims to establish a workflow for employing MD simulations to further investigate the charged droplets. Specifically, the simulation framework LAMMPS was used, which proved to be promising, as different molecular systems were successfully investigated with the available force fields. The simulated droplets behave as expected from basic theory. In further simulations the energy transfer to the droplet was examined. Simulated mass spectra were produced upon analyzing the disintegration pattern of the droplets.

Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance

description: The goal of this thesis is to study the use of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance as to build a descriptor of sample complexity in classification problems. The idea is to use the fact that the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance is a metric in the space of measures that also takes into account the geometry and topology of the underlying metric space. We associate to each class of points a measure and thus study the geometrical information that we can obtain from the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance between those measures. We show that a large Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance between those measures allows to conclude that there exists a 1-Lipschitz classifier that classifies well the classes of points. We also discuss the limitation of the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance as a descriptor.

description: We investigate different notions of recognizability for a free monoid morphism $σ: \mathcal{A}^* \to \mathcal{B}^*$. Full recognizability occurs when each (aperiodic) point in $\mathcal{B}^\mathbb{Z}$ admits at most one tiling with words $σ(a)$, $a \in \mathcal{A}$. This is stronger than the classical notion of recognizability of a substitution $σ: \mathcal{A}^*\to\mathcal{A}^*$, where the tiling must be compatible with the language of the substitution. We show that if $|\mathcal A|=2$, or if $σ$'s incidence matrix has rank $|\mathcal A|$, or if $σ$ is permutative, then $σ$ is fully recognizable. Next we investigate the classical notion of recognizability and improve earlier results of Mossé (1992) and Bezuglyi, Kwiatkowski and Medynets (2009), by showing that any substitution is recognizable for aperiodic points in its substitutive shift. Finally we define recognizability and also eventual recognizability for sequences of morphisms which define an $S$-adic shift. We prove that a sequence of morphisms on alphabets of bounded size, such that compositions of consecutive morphisms are growing on all letters, is eventually recognizable for aperiodic points. We provide examples of eventually recognizable, but not recognizable, sequences of morphisms, and sequences of morphisms which are not eventually recognizable. As an application, for a recognizable sequence of morphisms, we obtain an almost everywhere bijective correspondence between the $S$-adic shift it generates, and the measurable Bratteli-Vershik dynamical system that it defines.

Our proof is constructive, and allows for interior conjugate points as well as multiply reflected and self-intersecting light cones.

description: The effectiveness of a nation's judicial system is intricately linked to the accessibility of justice it provides. In Nigeria, the realization of comprehensive access to justice serves as a fundamental instrument for the protection of human rights and the establishment of the rule of law. This paper explores the pivotal role of access to justice in the Nigerian civil and criminal justice system, emphasizing the challenges and imperatives for its full realization.

The adoption and rigorous implementation of key practices, including case flow management, front loading of cases, pretrial conferences, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), emerge as critical components in achieving robust access to justice in Nigeria. Despite their significance, the prevailing challenges are formidable, ranging from systemic delays and the soaring costs of litigation to the complexity of legal rules and procedures. Additionally, a lack of awareness and legal knowledge compounds these obstacles, contributing to the hindrance of access to justice.

Corruption further exacerbates the impediments to the seamless flow of justice in Nigeria, posing a pervasive threat to the integrity of the judicial process. This article contends that true enforcement of individual rights, encompassing human and contractual rights, occurs only when there is unhindered access to law courts or alternative mediums that assure expeditious and affordable justice.

In addressing these challenges, the paper advocates for the embrace of emerging processes such as restorative justice and victim-offender mediation. These innovative approaches hold the promise of not only reducing or eliminating delays but also substantially diminishing the costs associated with litigation. By delving into the transformative potential of these methodologies, the article sheds light on their capacity to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of the justice system, ultimately ensuring a more equitable and expeditious resolution of legal disputes in Nigeria.

description: Compact Hierarchical Triples (CHTs) are systems in which the tertiary star orbits the inner binary in an orbit shorter than 1000 days. These systems were previously thought to be rare but with photometric observations from space telescopes (Kepler and TESS), we have found a few hundred new candidates. CHTs provide an interesting setup to study star formation (using orbital architecture and metallicity distribution) at small scales (less than 5 AU) and also evolution scenarios of dynamical mergers. CHTs with an eclipsing binary as the inner binary gives us an opportunity to extract information about all three stars. Further, the effects of the tertiary (e.g. eclipse depth variation) are visible in the photometric observations spanning the time frame of a present-day photometric mission. In our poster, we use TESS lightcurves and time-series spectroscopic observations to extract stellar, orbital, and atmospheric parameters of the stars in our sample of low-mass CHTs. Using this set of parameters, coupled with evolutionary tracks and numerical integrators, we probe into the stellar and dynamical evolution of a few sample CHTs. We also discuss specific evolutionary scenarios where an old CHT (~3Gyr) evolves into a contact binary with the tertiary star affecting the timescale of this evolution. The launch of PLATO will extend the timeline of observations of the CHTs and will allow us to constrain the long-term dynamical effects of these triples better.

title: Structure and expression of the yeast heat-shock gene HSP26.
Creators: name: Fitch, Ian T
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: A search was made for genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae which are controlled by tightly regulated promoters that direct growth phase-specific gene expression during growth in batch culture. HSP26, a gene which encodes the major yeast small heat-shock protein, Hsp26, was found to be transcriptionally repressed during normal exponential growth (log-phase) and strongly induced during entry into stationary-phase on a glucose medium. The close parallel between the steady-state levels of HSP26 mRNA and the synthesis of the Hsp26 polypeptide, indicated that the synthesis of Hsp26 during the fermentative batch growth cycle is regulated primarily at the level of gene transcription. Activation of HSP26 during stationary-phase does not, however, result from the release of carbon catabolite repression due to glucose exhaustion, nor does it require the function of the WHI2 gene, involved in the normal coordination between cell proliferation and nutrient availability. The possible mechanism by which HSP2 6 is regulated during the yeast growth cycle, and the ’signal’ for stationary-phase induction, are discussed in relation to the heat-inducibility of this gene. Determination of the HSP2 6 gene nucleotide sequence, identified a number of sequence motifs in the promoter region which are characteristic of both heat-shock genes, and efficiently expressed genes in yeast. Sequence analysis of the HSP26 protein coding region identified a single open reading frame potentially encoding a 214 amino acid polypeptide of predicted molecular weight 27,630. This correlated well with the size of Hsp26 as estimated by it’s migration on a 2D-SDS PAGE gel. The predicted amino acid sequence of Hsp26 revealed homologies to other eukaryotic small Hsps, and also to bovine cc-crystall in A, homology being particularly strong in a predicted hydrophobic region of the Hsp26 polypeptide. In addition, with the exception of the amino-terminal methionine (Met), Hsp26 contains no Met residues, consistent with a failure to label the protein efficiently, .in vivo, with [3 5 S ] — methionine and demonstrating that the amino-terminal Met is cleaved post-translationally by an aminopeptidase. The biological function of Hsp26 remains unclear. Contrary to evidence that the small Hsps of a number of eukaryotic organisms appear to be responsible for a tolerance of cells to potentially lethal high temperatures, overexpression of the HSP26 gene on a high copy number yeast episomal plasmid, demonstrated that overexpression of the protein following a heat-shock contributes little to acquired thermotolerance. However, overexpression of Hsp26 in stationary-phase cells revealed the presence of 45-55nm diameter cytoplasmic particles as putative Hsp26 aggregates. That the hydrophobicity of Hsp26 results in it’s self aggregation, is presumably central to the function of this protein.

description: Recent extreme droughts combined with accelerating human exploitation are pushing tropical forests to the point where they cannot recover, making them vulnerable to large unprecedented wildfires. This causes an urgent need to monitor the recovery capacity of tropical forests. While time series-based break detection approaches have demonstrated potential to measure tropical forest recovery capacity, they have not yet been applied over large amounts of satellite data. To address this challenge, the SURF computing infrastructure, i.e., the SPIDER cluster and the Sentinel-1 data cube prepared by the EODC GmbH was used. Those resources were available within the C-SCALE project as a part of a use case defined and designed together with EOSC experts. The provided resources were extremely useful for the RETURN use case. This aims at exploring time series of satellite radar (Sentinel-1) images from the EU Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) Programme to understand the recovery capacity of the Amazon rainforest. The outcomes of the RETURN research are important to help identify areas with slower forest recovery in the Amazon basin and potentially understand their causes.

A star seen as a multi-cavity acoustic interferometer: a novel approach to develop seismic diagnostics
Creators: name: Pinçon, Charly
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The seismic data collected by the space-borne missions CoRoT, Kepler, and TESS, have already brought stringent constraints on the structure of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Beyond the improvement in the determination of fundamental stellar parameters (e.g., mass, radius, age), asteroseismology has also given insights into the internal dynamics of these stars, as for instance rotation or convective-radiative boundary mixing, opening a new era for the theory of stellar structure and evolution. These advancements have been made possible thanks to the development of seismic diagnostics, which enable us to analyze, predict and interpret the oscillation spectra of stars. However, all the richness of these observations has not been fully explored yet. As a striking example, we can note the recent measurement of internal magnetic fields in a few red giant stars observed by the satellite Kepler, and more surprises are still expected for the future. With the PLATO mission in our line of sight, it is now time to pave the way toward a more detailed probing of the oscillation spectra, at the limit of the measurement capabilities. In this work, we show how the general formulation of the stellar eigenfrequency spectra proposed by Pinçon & Takata (2022) can help develop new or reinforce previous seismic diagnostics. In this general picture, a star is described as a multitude of resonant cavities separated by reflective barriers (i.e., evanescent coupling regions or sharp variations in the reference propagation medium). The wave-reflection problem around these so-called barriers is studied using either simple analytical toy models or numerical solvers when considering a realistic acoustic structure. We demonstrate how useful and practical is this approach. In particular, the case of mixed mode in subgiant stars, which represent thousands of targets in the PLATO prime sample, and in red giants stars will be addressed.

description: This study explores academic autonomy as it is perceived by departmental Faculty members. This study gives the leading role to the departmental faculty to inform the research about their vision how academic autonomy is and should be developed. 
The study uses Interpretative Phenomenological Approach (IPA) method combined with Focus group method. This combination of methods, though traditionally viewed as not compatible, is justified in this study. It allowed the access to individual experiences of Faculty members and collection of data directly from them. IPA is combined with the Focus Group method to bring this research to a collegial level. The participants in Focus group were 25 participants, including lecturers, professors and teaching assistants. This method allows exploring the phenomenon of academic autonomy at departmental level and observing how the Faculty involvement in academic autonomy matters. The data is analyzed according to the traditions of IPA, based on the protocol designed specifically for the purpose of this study. 
The findings of the study shed the light on how Faculty perceives academic autonomy from the departmental perspective, what strategies and actions Faculty define as crucial, to what extent and under what conditions Faculty members are ready to contribute into academic changes at their department.

description: We propose a new synergic strategy that merges the potential of asteroseismology with solar space climate techniques in order to characterize solar-like stars and their interaction with hosted exoplanets. The method is based on the use of seismic data obtained by the space missions Kepler/K2 or TESS Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, coupled with stellar activity estimates deduced from ground-based campaigns.
 Our investigation allows us to obtain not only a highly accurate characterization of the mother star and its orbiting planet, but also to study the stellar magnetic activity and the star-planet interaction in analogy to the Sun-Earth system allowing to determine the extension of the exoplanetary magnetosphere and the values of stellar wind dynamic pressure. This information, coupled with
 the precise age estimation by asteroseismology, will allow determining how long
 an atmosphere could resist to the action of stellar wind enabling to directly quantify the portion of the
 atmosphere which could potentially be eroded.

description: The intricate intersection of sentencing and deportation within the Nigerian legal framework presents a multifaceted panorama of challenges and considerations. This paper embarks on a comprehensive exploration of this dynamic interplay, shedding light on the legal analysis of Section 316 (5) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law in Lagos State, Nigeria. Delving into the complexities of this nexus, the study navigates the landscape from the courtroom to the border, unraveling the nuances that define the relationship between sentencing decisions and subsequent deportation actions.

The legal foundation for this investigation is Section 316 (5) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law, Lagos State, a pivotal legislative provision that underscores the juncture of criminal justice administration and immigration policies. The paper contextualizes the Nigerian legal landscape, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of how sentencing determinations can catalyze deportation proceedings.

Initiating the discourse, the introduction highlights the growing significance of addressing the intricacies of sentencing and deportation within the Nigerian legal milieu. It underscores the consequential impact of judicial decisions on individuals' lives, extending beyond the confines of the courtroom to influence their status and rights beyond national borders.

As Nigeria grapples with the challenges of maintaining a delicate balance between justice and national security, the paper seeks to demystify the legal intricacies surrounding the interconnection of sentencing and deportation. Drawing attention to the potential consequences of criminal convictions on immigration status, it unveils the legal underpinnings that shape the trajectory of individuals behind bars and their fate beyond the nation's borders.

This study not only delves into the legal provisions governing the interplay of sentencing and deportation but also contemplates the ethical dimensions and societal implications of such legal decisions. It scrutinizes the potential for inequality and injustice that may arise from a lack of clarity in navigating this intricate legal nexus, calling for a nuanced and rights-centric approach to ensure the equitable treatment of individuals entangled in the web of sentencing and deportation.

We develop a spectral Galerkin method for these maps' transfer operators, estimating statistical quantities using finite submatrices of the transfer operators' infinite Fourier or Chebyshev basis coefficient matrices. Rates of convergence of these estimates are obtained via quantitative bounds on the full transfer operator matrix entries; we find the method furnishes up to exponentially accurate estimates of statistical properties in only a polynomially large computational time. To implement these results we suggest and demonstrate two algorithms: a rigorously-validated algorithm, and a fast, more convenient adaptive algorithm. Using the first algorithm we prove rigorous bounds on some exemplar quantities that are substantially more accurate than previous. We show that the adaptive algorithm can produce double floating-point accuracy estimates in a fraction of a second on a personal computer.

description: Zircon Raman dating is a debated concept in thermochronology. It is based on the disruption of the zircon lattice by α-disintegration of 238U, 235U, 232Th, and their daughter nuclides. This radiation damage leads to broadening of the Raman bands. A date is calculated from the measured Raman bandwidths, and the effective Uranium (eU) content, measured in the same spot. Radiation damage anneals at elevated temperatures; thus the Raman date is interpreted with regard to its closure temperature (Tc) as an event, cooling or mixed age, depending on the thermal history of the sample. We present zircon Raman ages calculated from the widths of the 439, 1008, and 356 cm-1 Raman bands for samples with different thermal histories. We discuss: (1) criteria for evaluating the Raman data by inter-band comparison; (2) the effect of partial annealing on the dating results; (3) the spatial matching of Raman and eU microanalysis.

description: In drylands, stormwater is often collected in surface basins and subsequently stored in shallow aquifers via infiltration to cope with water scarcity. These groundwater recharge schemes are often accompanied by high evaporation rates and hygiene problems due to low infiltration rates, which are a consequence of clogging layers on the topsoil and the presence of a thick vadose zone. The present study aims to develop a conceptual solution to increase groundwater recharge rates in stormwater harvesting systems. The efficiency of vadose-zone wells and infiltration trenches is tested using numerical models and sensitivity analyses. The constructed models are conceptualised in the dams built in the channel of ephemeral streams (wadis) and validated utilising analytical equations. The modelling demonstrated that the employment of vadose-zone wells and infiltration trenches contribute to starting the recharge 2250–8100% faster than via infiltration from the wadi dam bed surface. Furthermore, recharge rates are predominantly affected by well length and trench depth as per the sensitivity analyses. In terms of recharge quantity, the well is the most efficient solution contributing to infiltrating up to 1642% more water than an equivalent area of the wadi dam bed surface and between 336 and 825% more than a trench. Moreover, the well can provide the highest cumulative recharge per unit cost and high recharge rates when there are space limitations. The use of analytical equations proved the adequacy of the developed numerical models. The techniques explored can significantly improve groundwater recharge, providing practical solutions to enhance water availability in drylands.

description: Submarine lobes are high aspect ratio sand-rich deposits that are fed by turbidity currents and debris flows via channels in deep-marine settings. As a major component of submarine fans, they represent 1) an important archive of palaeo-environmental change, 2) sinks for organic carbon and pollutants, and 3) are also of economic interest. Classic models describe lobes as purely depositional tabular sheets that thin and fine from an apex. Over the last decade, outcrop studies, numerical and stochastic modelling, and flume tank experiments have been undertaken to constrain the hierarchy, geometries and stacking patterns of submarine lobe deposits and test these simple models for lobe deposition. With this talk I want to give an insight into the discoveries made and new understanding gained about lobe deposits, including: 1) The variety of lobe fringe deposits depending on the level of confinement experienced by the lobe: Distinguishing frontal and lateral lobe fringes enables more accurate reconstructions of the geometry, distribution, and orientation of deep-water lobes, whereas the recognition of aggradational lobe fringes enables the reconstruction of subtle intrabasinal relief. 2) Boundary conditions governing lobe dimensions: lobe dimensions, and their relation to their feeder channels, vary with basin-floor angle, and the concentration of sediment within the feeding gravity-current. Discharge rate is also important, controlling when deposition starts. Because these parameters change during evolution of natural deepwater systems, lobes formed at different times will have different geometries.
LEPOR: An Augmented Machine Translation Evaluation Metric

description: Machine translation (MT) was developed as one of the hottest research topics in the natural language processing (NLP) literature. One important issue in MT is that how to evaluate the MT system reasonably and tell us whether the translation system makes an improvement or not. The traditional manual judgment methods are expensive, time-consuming, unrepeatable, and sometimes with low agreement. On the other hand, the popular automatic MT evaluation methods have some weaknesses. Firstly, they tend to perform well on the language pairs with English as the target language, but weak when English is used as source. Secondly, some methods rely on many additional linguistic features to achieve good performance, which makes the metric unable to replicate and apply to other language pairs easily. Thirdly, some popular metrics utilize incomprehensive factors, which result in low performance on some practical tasks. In this thesis, to address the existing problems, we design novel MT evaluation methods and investigate their performances on different languages. Firstly, we design augmented factors to yield highly accurate evaluation. Secondly, we design a tunable evaluation model where weighting of factors can be optimized according to the characteristics of languages. Thirdly, in the enhanced version of our methods, we design concise linguistic feature using part-of-speech (POS) to show that our methods can yield even higher performance when using some external linguistic resources. Finally, we introduce the practical performance of our metrics in the ACL-WMT workshop shared tasks, which show that the proposed methods are robust across different languages. In addition, we also present some novel work on quality estimation of MT without using reference translations including the usage of probability models of Naïve Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM) classification algorithms, and CRFs.

description: Jogging is commonly performed in the latter stages of the rehabilitation program (2½-3 months) following ACL reconstruction. However, its cyclic loading effect on the ACL graft, 4-6 months after surgery has not been examined. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine changes in anterior knee laxity before and after 15 minutes of jogging on the treadmill. Subjects (N=l 1) were 8 males and 3 females (X age= 30.27 ± 4.76 years; heights= 175.7 ± 10.7 cm; weights= 81.1 ± 15.9 kg) with unilateral ACL reconstruction (central 1/3 patellar tendon graft, postoperation range = 4-6 months). Measurements were made using KT-2000 ( MEDmetric, San Diego, CA) and recorded in millimeters of displacement at 133 N (30 lb) of anterior force. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test at P < 0.05. Results showed no statistical difference between the ACL reconstructed knee and the normal knee after exercise. This study concluded that ACL reconstructed knee with the central 1/3 patellar tendon graft, 4-6 months after surgery, performs similarly to the normal knee when stressed with jogging for 15 minute at speed of 5-6 mph. Therefore, jogging is a safe and appropriate exercise for ACL-reconstructed patient at this stage after surgery.

description: We consider a thermodynamic machine in which the working fluid is a quantized harmonic oscillator that is controlled on timescales that are much faster than the oscillator period. We find that operation in this `fast' regime allows access to a range of quantum thermodynamical behaviors that are otherwise inaccessible, including heat engine and refrigeration modes of operation, quantum squeezing, and transient cooling to temperatures below that of the cold bath. The machine involves rapid periodic squeezing operations and could potentially be constructed using pulsed optomechanical interactions. The prediction of rich behavior in the fast regime opens up new possibilities for quantum optomechanical machines and quantum thermodynamics.

description:
Tai-Chi Chuan (TCC) is a traditional Chinese exercise which has become popular in the Western world recently. The reported health benefits of TCC exercise include increased lower extremity muscle strength, improved balance, improved cardiopulmonary function, reduced tension, and improved overall wellness. However, no study has demonstrated the effects of TCC exercise on walking performance. The purpose of this study is to determine whether TCC exercise has an effect on normal speed walking of older adults. Twenty-four older healthy women over 55 were recruited in this study, 12 subjects practiced TCC exercise at least two times per week and the others practiced walking but one swam. Six gait characteristics were measured and analyzed for the test, including step length, step width, left foot angle, right foot angle, velocity, and cadence. The results did not show any significant difference in these six gait characteristics between the two groups. TCC exercise is as good as regular walking for maintaining walking performance and its dynamic nature may result in the unique benefits of improved balance and ease of movement that a walking program does not have.
