This research aims to analyze the weaknesses of the current regulations for examining suspects in Indonesia currently and to find the legal reconstruction for investigating suspects based on Pancasila values of justice. The research method used is sociological legal research or empirical legal research, using the constructivism paradigm. The approach method used in this research is social legal research. This research uses primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques through literature study, interviews, and questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that the weaknesses in the legal substance of the regulations regarding the examination of suspects, namely: the Criminal Procedure Code has not regulated the legal consequences of deviations from suspects' rights to be free to provide information about investigators and the results of investigations, the Criminal Procedure Code has not regulated supervision of investigators' actions, including in examining suspects, and the Criminal Procedure Code has not regulated alleged irregularities in the examination of suspects. as the object of pretrial examination. Weaknesses in the legal structure, namely weak supervision of investigative institutions over the investigation process, limited regional police institutions in providing free legal aid, and the absence of a police budget to provide interpreters and translators for suspects, and weaknesses in legal culture, namely violations of the rights of suspects. suspects' rights, investigative engineering, individual investigators involved in bribery, and investigators who do not understand local culture. Therefore, It is necessary to reconstruct the values of justice and norms in the regulations for examining suspects so that they are based on the Pancasila values of justice. The value of Pancasila justice, especially Principle 2 of Just and Civilized Humanity, must be reflected in the provisions for examining suspects so that suspects are truly made into subjects who have dignity and respect that must be respected by investigators and protected by the state. Meanwhile, the reconstruction of norms in the regulations for examining suspects so that they are based on Pancasila values of justice, namely improvements to Articles 52, 117, 77, 79, and Article 81 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Triumfetta cordifolia is a medicinal plant that has been widely utilized in Africa for its therapeutic properties in treating various ailments. The purpose of this research was to investigate phytochemicals and in vitro antioxidant activity of the leaf extract of T. cordifolia. Standard methods were employed to conduct qualitative phytochemical screening of the plant extract. This study used the DPPH (1, 1diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power method to assess antioxidant activity. Phytochemical analysis of T. cordifolia leaves indicated the existence of saponins, tannins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids but no anthraquinones. In the DPPH scavenging test, the IC50 value of the methanolic extract was discovered to be 1.29 µg/mL, and the standard reference value for ascorbic acid was 2.14 µg/mL. The leaf extract of T. cordifolia displayed stronger inhibition of DPPH activity, showing a higher potency than ascorbic acid. The DPPH scavenging activity was also shown to increase with concentration. In FRAP assay, the T. cordifolia leaf extract and the ascorbic acid revealed reducing power of 71.01±0.15 and 548.39±1.62 μM Fe2+ per mg of extract, respectively. The FRAP assay demonstrated that ascorbic acid exhibited greater antioxidant activity than the leaf extract of T. cordifolia. The presence of flavonoids and phenols in T. cordifolia leaves may account for the observed antioxidant activity. In conclusion, the study's findings suggest that that T. cordifolia leaf extract could be a source of lead compounds with promising antioxidant activity.

The inhibition efficacies of extracts of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Chaya) leaves in the corrosion of mild steel were investigated in H2SO4, and NaCl media. Weight loss method was employed to determine corrosion rate. The ribbed mild steel rod was cut into forty (40) coupons, each measuring 16 mm (diameter) by 8 mm (length) and their initial weights taken and noted. Twenty (20) beakers containing 0.5M and 1.0M each of H2SO4 and NaCl solution separately with varying volumes of the extracts ranging from 5ml to 20ml were set up with four (4) coupons in each beaker fully immersed using nylon strings. The set up was allowed to stand for an exposure time of 672hrs with a coupon withdrawn from each beaker every 168 hours and processed using standard procedures before being reweighed using digital weighing balance. The weight difference for each coupon was obtained and used for corrosion rate calculation using the formula, CPR= K∆W/ρAt. Other corrosion parameters were also obtained using the relevant formulae: inhibition efficiency, IE%=(〖CR〗_c-〖CR〗_i)/〖CR〗_c ×100 and surface coverage, , θ=(〖CR〗_c-〖CR〗_i)/〖CR〗_c .The results obtained indicated that the normal corrosion rate profile for passivating metals was followed with the weight loss by the coupons being higher in the control media than those ones in the inhibited media. It was also observed that increase in volumes of these extracts from 5ml to 20ml decreased the corrosion rate of mild steel in the media. We found that in both media Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Chaya) exhibited high inhibition efficiencies of 78.14% in H2SO4 and 64.15% in NaCl at extract concentration of 20 ml. Plots of the Langmuir adsorption isotherms suggest uniform surface covering of the adsorbent molecules at equilibrium state of the adsorbate–adsorbent system, with very strong adsorption forces. Based on these findings, the results suggest that Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Chaya) leaves extract is a veritable green inhibitor for both acidic and salt media and can be a suitable alternative to the synthetic inhibitors widely used in the oil and gas industry.

Honey is a naturally occurring material made by honeybees from the sweet, savory nectar of flowers. Humans have consumed honey for a very long time, making it the oldest sweetener and health food. Honey was mentioned in Egyptian, Indian, and Chinese texts as early as 5500 BC. It is renowned for its therapeutic and nutritional properties brought on by beneficial elements that are strongly connected to its flower origin. Although the basic variation in honey composition is due to the floral source, other elements such as the season, the environment, and the processing conditions also have a role. The sensory, chemical, physical, and microbiological properties of honey are mostly linked to its quality. Honey should indicate the minimum quality standards to be marketed as honey or employed as an ingredient in products for human consumption. Physico-chemical characteristics including pH, water content, ash content, HMF and EC parameters were analyzed which showed that Pakistani honey is under the limits. Additionally, the limited presence of heavy metals was also seen within the range. Pakistani honey is one of the best honeys to be used for raw consumption as well as raw material for any value-added products.

DOI: 10.36348/sjls.2024.v09i01.001
Plants engage in communication through diverse methods, encompassing chemical signals, sound waves, and root networks. These signals serve to convey information about environmental challenges such as drought and disease, and play a role in attracting pollinators or deterring predators. Coined as the "plant's secret language" by Tompkins and Bird in 1973 [1] Tompkins, P., & Bird, C. [1973]. Scientists have identified specific compounds that plants use to signal to one another, including volatile organic compounds [VOCs] and herbivore-induced plant volatiles [HIPVs] that can be released into the air and root exudates that are released into the soil. Recent research has shed light on the mechanisms behind this communication, revealing that plants have a sophisticated network of sensory and signalling pathways that allow them to perceive and respond to various stimuli. The review covers a range of topics, including how plants communicate with each other, how they respond to biotic and abiotic stresses, and how they use this communication to defend against pathogens and predators[herbivore]. It also discusses the potential applications of this knowledge in various fields, such as agriculture, medicine, and environmental monitoring. Overall, this review study highlights the importance of understanding the plant's secret language for communication and its potential applications in various fields like agriculture, conservation, and medicine.

Given that deterioration of adolescents’ health status during pandemic is well documented, health related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is very important, as it contributes in adolescents’ development and maturation into healthy adults. The main purpose of the study was to assess adolescents’ HRQoL during the two strict lockdowns due to COVID-19. Secondary aims were to examine differences in HRQoL with regard to gender, and physical activity/sport participation before and during lockdowns. It was a cross-sectional study and conducted during first and second strict lockdowns. Three hundred and sixty-three adolescents (Ν=363) from secondary schools, in the Greek territory (108 boys and 255 girls) filled in the TNO-AZL Questionnaire for Children’s Health-Related Quality of Life Children’s Form, online, once. Also, demographic and anthropometric data were collected. For all TACQOL-CF subscales results showed that scores were lower, than the maximum subscales scores. Also, adolescents’ responses to open questions supported further the low subscales scores. In addition, adolescents who participated in sport before lockdowns reported better scores in motor functioning/performance during lockdowns than their non-physically active peers (p<0.05). Moreover, girls reported significantly lower scores compared to boys in general physical functioning/complaints subscale (p<0.05). The findings of this study highlighted that during the two strict quarantines adolescents’ HRQoL was deteriorated. Sport participation before the pandemic influenced positive HRQoL during quarantines and also quarantines affected differently adolescents by gender. Thus, the results should give information in adopting preventive strategies by policy makers to alleviate long-term negative consequences, in order adolescents to gain pre-pandemic HRQoL levels, in the transitional post-COVID-19 era.

Summary: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infection that attacks the body's immune system. The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV is spread through the body fluids of an infected person, including blood, breast milk, semen, and vaginal fluids. Observation: These were 2 patients who had been consulted for a transfusion during which routine screening was carried out. Faced with divergent results, the hypothesis of a serodiscordance was raised. Series of tests carried out came back sometimes Negative and sometimes positive. It was the result of the PCR which made it possible to conclude that it was negative for HIV infection. These results had an impact on the psychological state of donors and could contribute to raising questions on the quality, specificity and/or sensitivity of current tests? On the interaction of one or more viral markers of another unknown viral pathology? And on the other hand on a possible genetic predisposition of these blood donors? Conclusion: HIV is a preventable disease. Awareness campaigns and promotion of early detection are effective ways to reduce transmission.

Background and objectives: Budd–Chiari syndrome is a vascular disorder of the liver which can cause fulminant liver injury and lethal portal hypertension-related complications. It is a rare disease and can be primary or secondary. The objective of our work is to detail the etiologies, treatment and evolution of SBC according to the experience of a Moroccan center. Patients and methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study in the university hepato-gastroenterology department including all patients with BCS with portal hypertension (PH) over a period of 29 years. All our patients benefited from an etiological work-up and morphological explorations. Results: Out of a total of 364 cases of vascular liver disease, 29 patients had BCS, with a prevalence of 8%. Clinically, the signs of decompensated PH were predominant. Imaging confirmed BCS. The etiological work-up showed Behçet’s disease in 17%. In one case each, BCS was secondary in 6.8% of cases (n=2), one of whom had HCC and the second had an association of sarcoidosis and amyloidosis. Our patients had received treatment for the causative disease and treatment of thrombosis associated with the treatment of PH complications. The evolution was marked by the death of 5 patients (17%). Conclusion: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare condition. Behcet ' s disease and thrombophilia are the most frequent etiologies in our series. The prognosis is poor, mainly due to the causative disease and complications of PH, which requires a very early management.
