In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 today, many technologies are used by humans to help their daily activities, one of which is in the field of home door security. To improve the security of home doors, we can use the Arduino Mega2560 as a control center, we can design a prototype for a door security system using E-KTP which is equipped with several sensors to improve the security of the door that is used as access for entry and exit. E-KTP is a card that is used as a person's identification and can also be used as a tool to open the door in the design of this tool, because in it there is a chip that can be read using electromagnetic waves. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a sensor that can be used to read E-KTP, and to control it remotely, we can use the SMS (Short Message Service) service that is on every Cellphone / Smartphone so that the security of the house door is better because it is also equipped with Magnetic sensors and Buzzer as security if the door is forced to open by an irresponsible person.

The lecture mapping process is often hampered by the number and capacity of rooms, this condition often occurs because of the many obstacles that must be fulfilled. For example, there are courses offered in one semester that cannot be slots in space and time and the lecturer can teach at the same time for different courses. This is experienced by the Informatics Engineering Study Program of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Udayana University, which offers a fairly large subject in each semester, causing optimization of the lecture space to often experience problems. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a model in the optimization of lecture space based on the natural selection mechanism through; coding problem, generate initial population, calculate fitness value, selection, crossover, mutation and optimal population. In this research, the optimization process implements two crossover models in the genetic algorithm, namely the n-point crossover and the cycle crossover. Based on the research that has been carried out, two crossover models provide optimal space usage mapping. From testing the n-point crossover model system gives the best fitness 1 in the 361 generation with a computation time of 11.08 while the cycle crossover model produces the best fitness 1 in the 361 generation with a computation time of 15.08.
Tax Compliance Dancing
Authors: Björklund Larsen Lotta , Brøgger Benedicte
Published: November 2021

Taxation is central to the financing of most states, and monitoring that taxpayers comply with laws and regulations is a correspondingly important government activity. Governments have many ways to design tax systems, and no two national tax systems are the same. Hence, compliance strategies differ and so do outcomes. Complying with tax laws, beyond the fiscal aim of contributing revenue to a state, is multifaceted in a globalized world. Tax administrations struggle to control large multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) tax planning, avoidance and general evasion, whereas MNEs grapple with the problem of having to comply with widely divergent national tax systems. As a response, tax administrations, through membership organisations such as the OECD, invent forms of collaboration between tax administrations and MNEs—all with the goal of increasing tax compliance. One way they do this is through the co-operative compliance model. Here, we compare two compliance projects, based on this model, in Norway and Sweden to shed more light on what tax compliance is in practice. We elaborate on Valerie Braithwaite’s seminal concept of tax compliance as a ‘dance’ between tax administrations and taxpayers. In so doing we underline the significance of paying attention to conceptions of time and space as critical elements of creating compliance in practice between tax administrations and MNEs.
Savages Have No Crime!
Authors: Niehaus Isak
Published: November 2021

During 1931, Alfred Radcliffe-Brown gave a popular talk at Columbia University in New York. He maintained that, unlike in the West, savage societies – a term commonly used at the time – had no criminal class and had succeeded in enforcing conformity to social norms. In this article, I suggest that, despite its defects, the talk highlights central themes in Radcliffe-Brown’s thinking about conformity, social sanctions and the law. Drawing on archival sources and on published material, I show how during fieldwork he observed the brutalities of colonial rule in the Andaman Islands, Western Australia and South Africa. I suggest that a critical awareness of how colonial law served as an ally of conquest forms an important sub-text in Radcliffe-Brown’s writing on the effective manner in which Andaman Islanders maintained social order, Indigenous Australians settled disputes and African courts operated. His comparative, sociological approach, which was implicitly critical of Western societies, was a vital influence in the emergence of law as a topic of anthropological enquiry.

Populism in the United States: Binary Constructions by Donald Trump in the Domestic and Foreign Policies
Authors: Mirza Muhammad Nadeem , Ali Lubna Abid , Qaisrani Irfan Hasnain
Published: November 2021

This study intends to explore the rise of Donald Trump to the White House. Why was Donald Trump considered a populist leader, and how did his populist rhetoric and actions impact the contours of American domestic and foreign policies? The study adopted qualitative exploratory and explanatory research techniques. Specific methods utilised to conduct the study remained political personality profiling. It finds that the populist leaders construct the binaries in the society by dividing the nation into two groups: �us� the people, against �them� the corrupt elite or other groups presented as a threat to the lives and livelihood of the nation. Though populism as a unique brand of politics remained active through most of the US history, yet these were only two occasions that populists were successful in winning the American presidential elections � Andrew Jackson in 1828 and Donald Trump in 2016. Structural and historical reasons became the biggest cause behind the election of Donald Trump, who successfully brought a revolution in American domestic and foreign policies. And if structural issues in the United States are not addressed, there is a clear chance that Trump � who is not withering away � will come back to contest and challenge any competitors in the 2024 presidential elections.
Acute piriformis syndrome mimicking cauda equina syndrome: illustrative case
Authors: Lodin Jan , Brušáková Štěpánka , Kachlík David , Sameš Martin , Humhej Ivan
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

This report depicts a rare case of acutely developed urinary retention as well as sensory and motor disturbances caused by formation of a large hematoma within the piriformis muscle, which caused compression of nerves within the suprapiriform and infrapiriform foramina, thus imitating cauda equina syndrome. Although cases of acute lumbosacral plexopathy have been described, this case is the first time both urinary retention and sensory and motor disturbances were present.

OBSERVATIONS

The most useful tools for diagnosis of acute piriformis syndrome are detailed patient history, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvic region, and electrophysiological testing performed by an experienced electrophysiologist. As a result of diligent rehabilitation, including physiotherapy and electrostimulation, the patient was able to successfully recover, regardless of acute compression of the sacral plexus that lasted 6 days.

LESSONS

Clinicians should actively ask about previous pelvic trauma when taking a patient history in similar cases, especially if the patient is receiving anticoagulation treatment. If MRI of the lumbar spine does not reveal any pathologies, MRI of the pelvic region should be performed. Acute surgical decompression is crucial for preserving neurological function. In similar cases, it is possible to differentiate between spinal cord, cauda equina, and pelvic lesions using electrophysiological studies.

Published: November 2021

PURPOSE The gap in evidence in the management of multivalvular lesions can be addressed by providing more data on clinical and echocardiographic outcomes after Percutaneous Mitral commissurotomy (PMC). METHODS Participants were Filipinos aged >/= 19 years old, admitted due to severe mitral stenosis with moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR). The outcome of PMC was divided into 2 groups: Significant TR which included the progression of moderate to severe TR or persistence of severe TR and Insignificant TR group which included those with mild TR, regression to moderate to mild TR, severe to moderate, or persistence of moderate TR. These groups were compared from baseline, 24th hour, 1st month, and 6th month using the same echocardiographic parameters. The numerical data between significant and nonsignificant tricuspid regurgitation were compared using non-parametric Mann Whitney U test and categorical data using the Chi-Square test. RESULTS A total of 38 participants were analyzed. On the 24th-hour post- PTMC, the Significant TR group had significantly higher RAVI (42.3 vs 26.1, p=.004), RVD mid (3.81 vs 2.92, p=.001), SPAP (60.5 vs 38.5, p=.003), and RVOT (2.8 vs 2.2, p=.001) and lower MV planimetry (1.25 vs 1.58, p=.009); On the 1st-month RVD mid (3.4 vs 2.8, p=.02) and TV annulus (3.35 vs 2.76, p=0.10) were significantly higher in the Significant TR group; On the 6th month RAVI (59 vs 24.7, p=.001), RVD mid (4 vs 2.73, p=.006), and TV annulus (4.5 vs 2.67 p=.001) were significantly higher in the Significant TR group when compared to Insignificant TR group. CONCLUSION PMC improved baseline parameters of SPAP, MV planimetry, MV gradient, and functional class on short-term follow-up on both groups of TR. Majority of outcomes after the procedure had insignificant TR. However, those with significant TR had higher RVD mid and TV annulus from the 24th hour to 6 months when compared to the insignificant TR group.

Biodiversitätsförderung im Wald durch Eingriffe: eine Wirkungskontrolle anhand von Fallstudien
Authors: Bühler Christoph , Roth Tobias
Published: November 2021

Das Programm «Naturschutz im Wald» wird im Kanton Basel-Landschaft seit 1998 umgesetzt. Nach 15 Jahren Laufzeit erfolgte auf Anordnung des Kantonsparlaments eine Wirkungskontrolle, mit welcher der Effekt naturschutzorientierter Eingriffe auf licht- und wärmebedürftige sowie auf totholzgebundene Pflanzen- und Tierarten untersucht wurde. Die Wirkungskontrolle beruht auf 31 Fallstudien, die in 13 verschiedenen Waldreservaten gemacht wurden. Die Fallstudien bezogen sich auf die Bestandestypen lichter Wald, Eichenwald, Mittelwald und Felsstandorte. Je nach Fallstudie wurden verschiedene Organismengruppen mit unterschiedlichen Erhebungsmethoden untersucht: Gefässpflanzen, Totholzkäfer, Schnecken, Brutvögel und Tagfalter. Die Wirkung der Eingriffe wurde entweder mittels «before-after»-Vergleich oder «control-impact»-Vergleich ermittelt. Eine Metaanalyse zeigte, dass die Indikatorarten von den ausgeführten Pflegeeingriffen profitieren. Die typischen Indikator-Gilden warmer und lichtreicher Waldgesellschaften waren auf Untersuchungsflächen mit Eingriffen signifikant artenreicher und häufiger vorhanden als auf den Kontrollflächen ohne Eingriffe beziehungsweise vor den Eingriffen. Obwohl der Abschluss der Untersuchung im Kanton Basel-Landschaft bereits sieben Jahre zurückliegt, ist sie eines der bisher wenigen Beispiele für eine umfassende Wirkungskontrolle zur Biodiversitätsförderung im Schweizer Wald. Die Vorteile, aber auch die Grenzen eines auf Fallstudien basierenden Ansatzes zur Wirkungskontrolle werden diskutiert und die Anforderungen an geeignetes Datenmaterial aufgezeigt.

Background and Aim: Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension (SIH) is a rare cause of headaches. It commonly presents with newly-developed persistent postural headaches and resolves with conservative treatment but rarely becomes a life-threatening disease. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of SIH patients treated in our institution for over ten years. Their clinical and radiological findings and the treatment given were analyzed. Their outcomes were assessed at a minimum of one year of follow-up. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all cases of SIH patients treated in our institution over ten years. Clinicoradiological aspects, as well as the treatment given, were analyzed. The outcome was assessed at a minimum of one year of follow-up. Results: Six cases of SIH were studied. The Mean±SD age of the study population was 41.6±2.87 years. Four cases (66%) were female. The most common symptom was orthostatic headache which was present in all of them. The Mean±SD duration of symptoms before the diagnosis of SIH was 3±1.78 months. Four cases were managed conservatively, while one patient was managed with surgery and the other with epidural patch repair. The exact site of the leak could be delineated in 2 cases (33%). Two patients who were managed invasively for Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) the leak had a subdural hematoma. All patients had a favorable outcome at one year of follow-up. Conclusion: Prompt and early identification of changes in symptom pattern and the onset of subdural hematoma are essential markers of shifting to definitive management rather than continuing conservative measures. Subdural hematoma, secondary to SIH, warrants evacuation if it causes clinical deterioration.

Published: November 2021

Background: The importance and relevance of serum inflammation biomarkers and DNA methylation-dependent micronutrients in breast tumorigenesis is gaining wider acceptance. However, the association of serum inflammation biomarkers and micronutrient status with expression of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) by the tumor has not been investigated in Nigerian breast cancer patients. The objective of this study was to determine the levels of serum biomarkers of inflammation (Homocysteine, Nitric Oxide (NO), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), Myeloperoxidase (MPO), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), Interleukins 6 and 8 (IL-6 and IL-8) and DNA methylation-dependent micronutrients [Zinc (Zn), Folic acid, Vitamin B6 and B12] in breast cancer patients with different hormone receptor levels (ER, PR and HER-2).
Methods: One hundred and fifteen women (80 with breast cancer and 35 controls) were randomly recruited for this study. Serum levels of homocysteine, folic acid, vitamins B6, vitamin B12, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8) were analyzed using ELISA. The levels of NO, MPO, H2O2 and Zn were analyzed using spectrophotometer. The levels of serum inflammation biomarkers and DNA methylation-dependent micronutrients in patients with breast cancer and control subjects without breast cancer as well as breast cancer patients with ER, PR and HER-2 expression were determined.
Results: The results showed that mean serum levels of IL-6 (p=0.002), IL-8 (p=0.018) and H2O2 (p=0.000) were significantly increased while TNF-α (p=0.014) and NO levels (p=0.044) were significantly decreased in breast cancer compared to healthy controls (p<0.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of Zn, homocysteine, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and MPO in breast cancer patients and controls (p>0.05). Furthermore, the levels of serum inflammatory biomarkers and methylation-dependent micronutrients were similar in HER-2, ER and PR breast cancer hormone subtypes.
Conclusion: Systemic inflammation exists in breast cancer patients but the inflammation biomarkers and methylation-dependent micronutrients did not differ among patients with PR, ER and HER-2 antigen expression.

Published: November 2021

Sexual harassment is still considered irrelevant to voice, let alone to fight for. People tend to put more concerns on family honor, and even consider sexual harassment as a shameful act and degrading their family’s name. Apart from at home, sexual harassment also often occurs in public places—public transportation, workplaces, schools, and other public facilities. Saling Jaga is a forum that voices concerns on sexual harassment that occurs in public spaces, and is the result of a collaboration amongst 3 undergraduate programs, (1) Law, (2) Communication Studies, and (3) Visual Communication Design, at President University. Saling Jaga forms a team that is hailed as Guardians. The purpose of this movement is to raise the awareness of everyone who witnesses sexual harassment in public places and has the courage to look after each other (bystander intervention) through activities in the form of socialization on Instagram social media, exhibition installations, and seminars to secondary schools in Kuningan.

Published: November 2021

For governments around the world, voluntary tax compliance is critical as they try to minimize budget deficits. In order to boost tax compliance, traditional methods can be expensive to be applied. This study aims to analyze the impact of social factors on the tax compliance intentions of individuals. Supported results were found in a survey of 150 Indonesian taxpayers regarding the effect of social factors on tax compliance. We sum up that gender and trust in government have a significant influence on perception of fairness and perception of fairness on compliance decision. In addition, perception of fairness also succeeded in bridging or mediating gender and trust in government towards compliance decisions. This study might help tax authorities in developing more efficient approaches with less cost to improve taxpayer compliance.

In providing an audit opinion, some assumptions must be met, one of which is that it will continue. In terms of corporate sustainability accounting, this is called a going concern. To evaluate whether the company has a going concern, an auditor can look at several indicators. These indicators include solvency, cash flow, and profitability. This study attempts to investigate the effect of these three variables towards audit going concern. Multiple linear regression statistical methods are used to link them with the going concern level. Based on the research results on 56 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2019, it can be concluded that solvency, cash flow, and profitability significantly affect the company.

Many know that the activities of most people who are at home certainly cannot be kept away from the name of cooking with gas stoves. But it was a concern because of the many cases that occurred related to gas stoves. Often from most people when cooking they forget to turn off the stove because of other activities or even leave. This can lead to potential house fires. To overcome this problem, we need a tool that can detect the condition of the gas stove, in order to prevent undesirable things from happening earlier. To avoid undesirable events due to human negligence turning off the gas stove. So the design of making tools that can determine whether there is activity of moving objects in front of the gas stove. So that if the gas stove is still burning, the gas stove will automatically turn off or be turned off remotely by the homeowner by giving notification to the homeowner's handphone.

A physical system, Low Pass Filter (LPF) RC Circuit, which serves as an impulse response and a square wave input signal are utilized to derive the continuous time convolution (convolution integrals). How to set up the limits of integration correctly and how the excitation source convolves with the impulse response are explained using a graphical type of solution. This in turn, help minimize the students’ misconceptions about the convolution integral. Further, the effect of varying the circuit elements on the shape of the convolution output plot is presented allowing students to see the connection between a convolution integral and a physical system. PSpice simulation and experiment results are incorporated and are compared with those of the analytical solution associated with the convolution integral.

Abstract. The population increase until the end of 2019 reached 267 million. This is in line with developments that support activities. This is inseparable from the actions of one of the precast concrete companies PT.WB Precast Plant Karawang in supporting development that produces waste in the form of wastewater. The parameter measured as a reference in carrying out processing is the Minister of Health Regulation Number 32 of 2017. This study's method refers to turbidity as a physical parameter, namely 25NTU and hardness total as a chemical parameter, which is 500 mg / l. CaCO3. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the optimization of the use of PAC as a coagulant and flocculant to reduce the turbidity and total hardness and determine the optimum detention time of flocculation. Method and results: The sampling method in this study is observation. The population in this study is concrete wastewater with parameter values that are not in accordance with the standard.  Conclusion: By using PAC 10% the optimum doses is 140 ppm, and the optimum detention time of flocculation is 5 minute that can reduce the turbidity from 275 NTU to be 11.615 NTU or 95.7% and can reduce total hardness from 948.75 mg/l CaCO3 to be 491.25 mg/l CaCO3 or 48.2%.

The need for sliced scallions is relatively large, so a tool that can assist in the slicing process is more effective both in terms of energy and time spent. Based on these problems, the idea was born to design a scallion slicing machine to help the community in slicing scallions, especially food sellers who need scallions such as egg martabak sellers, and food sellers.

The method used is literature study (library), field observations, and problem-solving methods in the form of design which includes pre-planning in the form of machine sketches, machine concept planning, calculations, making working drawings, procurement of materials and components, toolmaking, assembly, and testing.

The output of this final project is the manufacture of a scallion slicing machine that is simple and effective by not forgetting the safety and hygiene factors so that it can support the slicing process at the scale of traders and home industries. This tool has a capacity of 300 grams per minute using a DC 775 motor and is sourced from four 18650 li-ion batteries.

O trabalho objetivou realizar uma revisão bibliográfica com base em artigos a cerca do material reciclável, o vidro, desde seu processo de fabricação, reciclagem, logística reversa e, até mesmo, a atuação de cooperativas e a situação dos catadores frente à coleta deste material tão importante. Entre os resíduos sólidos gerados no Brasil, o vidro se destaca pelo seu volume elevado, sendo apenas 14% desse material destinado à reciclagem. A reciclagem normalmente é realizada pelas próprias empresas produtoras desses vidros, em um processo denominado de logística reversa. Assim, a logística reversa atua em parceria com a empresa e, principalmente, com o meio ambiente, não gerando tanto impacto ambiental, e otimizar matéria prima e energia, diminui os custos para a empresa desde sua produção. Além disso, a atuação de cooperativas na reciclagem possibilita que catadores tenham uma melhor qualidade de vida.  Portanto, a reciclagem do vidro gera grandes benefícios para a sociedade e o meio ambiente.

Pocos autores han logrado expresar con tal nitidez la crisis de identidad por la que atraviesa desde hace más de medio siglo el sistema educativo nacional; pero no sólo eso, Juan José Arreola va más allá. En acostumbrada y mágica exposición nos acerca con brillante conocimiento al Arreola oral, al disertador de ideas, al desmesurado conversador. En pocas páginas, pero no escasas ideas, viajamos a través de su pensamiento, así le oímos conversar sobre la vida, la cultura; se exalta, pero no pierde compostura al referirse a la conciencia, tampoco lo hace al abordar el tema de los jóvenes, le inquietan ellos, sus circunstancias y la di cultad generacional de entender y entenderse en el mundo de los adultos. No deja de ser asunto suyo (y de todos) el maestro que, a decir de Arreola, en su clase debe prevalecer lo humano... parece sencillo, lo es, si atendemos que por vocación el maestro puede ser un artista. Y qué decir de la palabra “arreolana”, que ya de inicio nos nombra con dentes, y eso mismo es lo que hay dentro de estas páginas, ya de por sí gloriosas. Hay un encuentro de amigos, de francos y sinceros amigos, como bien podrían ser el maestro y el joven, o bien el joven y el viejo. En cualquier caso como sea leído este libro habrá con dencia como la sinceridad lo demanda. Quien abra este libro, hoy tan necesario como lo es La palabra educación, oirá a Juan José Arreola, guía que invita a la reflexión. Esteban Ascencio

Efforts to overcome crime through peace based on Restorative Justice, namely justice for all parties are greatly missed by everyone. In carrying out law enforcement duties, the State Police Investigator of the Republic of Indonesia has the duties, functions, and authorities in the field of investigating criminal acts in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Based on the Regulation of the National Police Chief Number .6 of 2019 concerning Criminal Investigation, it has a role to carry out prevention efforts without having to use the Criminal Justice System (SPP), namely by resolving cases through the peace process. This process is due to the desire of the community who wants the case to be completed immediately and no longer be complicated. The resolution can be supported by the police's discretionary authority so that the type of research is descriptive empirical juridical, using primary data by means of interviews and secondary data by means of documentation studies. Then all data were processed using qualitative data analysis. Based on the research results, the Pemayung Police Sector policy is to settle criminal cases peacefully (penal police), or through the settlement of criminal cases involving the perpetrator, victim and/or their family and related parties, with the aim of achieving justice for all parties/restorative justice can be carried out, if it does not cause public unrest or there is no community rejection, it will not have an impact on social conflict and the case is still in the process of investigation and investigation. So that it can be directed to a settlement by conducting mediation to the parties, both the victim and the suspect. From the results of the mediation, it was agreed by the parties, both from the reporting party and the reported party as a suspect, admitting all his actions. And from the results of the mediation there was an agreement with the parties (victim and suspect) and a letter of peace was made and the revocation of the Police Report by the victim but after that, the victim came and asked again for the case to be continued, the investigator explained that the agreement had become an agreement of both parties and was binding and the investigation has been discontinued.
