Sanksi Administrasi Terhadap Kebakaran Hutan Dan Lahan Oleh Badan Hukum Perdata Di Kabupaten Muaro Jambi
Authors: FItria Fitria , Syamsir Syamsir
Published: December 2020

Di dalam Undang-Undang Kehutanan telah diatur tentang adanya  larangan untuk membakar hutan dan lahan seperti yang terdapat dalam Pasal 50 ayat (3) huruf d yang menyatakan bahwa “setiap orang dilarang membakar hutan”, Pasal 69 ayat (1) huruf a dan h UU-PPLH menyatakan, Setiap orang dilarang: “melakukan perbuatan yang mengakibatkan pencemaran dan/atau perusakan lingkungan hidup; dan melakukan pembukaan lahan dengan cara membakar. Dari Penelitian ini di harapkan pelanggaran yang dilakukan pemegang izin usaha dibidang Perkebunan yang telah melakukan pembakaran hutan dan lahan di Kabupaten Muaro Jambi patut dikenakan sanksi administrasi  yang tegas. Sanksi administrasi merupakan salah satu instrumen hukum dalam menjaga kelestarian lingkungan dan bersifat pemulihan atau Repartoir. Tetapi dalam pelaksanaannya sering kali kita melihat sulitnya menerapkan sanksi administrasi terhadap pelanggaran-pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pemegang izin Perkebunan karena masalah pembuktian terhadap pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh pemegang izin usaha. Apabila penerapan sanksi administrasi tidak diterapkan, maka kerusakan terhadap lingkungan akan semakin meluas dan masalah pembakaran lahan tidak akan kunjung selesai. Oleh sebab itu, pemerintah Kabupaten Muaro Jambi sangat di tuntut untuk menyelesaikan  kasus-kasus  pembakaran hutan dan lahan secara serius dan menerapkan sanksi administrasi sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku.

Authors: Amir Latifah , Noviades Dhil's , Netty Netty
Published: December 2020

Suku Anak Dalam disingkat dengan SAD merupakan istilah yang diberikan di Provinsi Jambi yang diberikan kepada anak rimba. Dimana SAD ini mempunyai kehidupan yang berbeda dengan kehidupan manusia biasa , cara kehidupan mereka adalah nomaden ( tidak tetap ) mereka mempunyai pola kehidupan yang berpindah pindah dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain dalam hutan dengan system perambahan hutan. Dengan berubahnya fungsi hutan pada saat ni maka kehidupan mereka sudah mulai terancam kareana hutan sebagai sumber kehidupan mereka sudah berubah menjadi hutan produksi. Dimana hutan produksi ini lebih menguntungkan pengelola. Dengan kondisi tersebut SAD sudah susah mencari sumber kehidupan terutama untuk kebutuhan makanannya. Pada saat ini SAD sudah mulai keluar dari hutan untuk mencari makan tetapi setelah mereka berbaur dengan kehidupan masyarakat biasa mereka tidak mampu untuk bekerja selain menjadi pengemis untuk memenuhi kebutuhan terutama untuk  makan. Melihat kondisi seperti ini sangat memprihatinkan dimana pemerintah baik pusat maupun daerah harus tanggap dan tidak membiarkan mereka terlantar seperti ini. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui sejauh mana tindakan yang di lakukan oleh pemerintah terutama pemerintah daerah dalam memberikan perlindungan hokum terhadap SAD. Dan dari hasil penelitian ini diharapkan bias memberika kontribusi positif terhadap pemerintah daerah sebagi bahan pengkajian untuk membuat kebijakan perlindungan hokum terhadap suku anak dalam.

Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui permasalahan mengenai dengan persepsi politik masyarakat dalam pembentukan daerah otonomi baru di Desa Loleba Kecamatan Wasile Selatan Kabupaten Halmahera Timur. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif, metode ini digunakan dengan maksud membuat penggambaran secara sistimatis, factual, dan akurat dalam menganalisis fakta-fakta secara langsung dilapangan. Hasil temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persepsi politik masyarakat dalam pembentukan daerah otonomi baru (DOB) tahun 2014 tidak berjalan sesuai dengan keinginan masyarakat, padahal awal tahun 2014 isu pemekaran sangatlah direspon baik oleh seluruh lapisan masyarakat Desa Loleba sehingga masyarakat tidak segan-segan dalam memberikan dukungan mereka. Persepsi ini muncul karena, pertama rentang jarak yang cukup jauh dari ibukota kabupaten induk dengan Kecamatan Wasile Selatan. Kedua, pemikiran politik ini lahir karena dalam proses pengurusan administrasi misalnya KTP, KK, Akta Kelahiran, seringkali terkendala pada biaya transportasi yang terlalu tinggi. Alasan inilah yang mendorong semangat masyarakat tetap mendukung agenda rencana pemekaran Wasile Raya menjjadi kabupaten yang baru.

Novel polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic degrading enzymes from the environmental metagenome
Authors: Karunatillaka Isuru , Jaroszewski Lukasz , Godzik Adam
Published: December 2020

Several plastic degrading enzymes have been described in the literature,
most notably PETases that are capable of hydrolyzing polyethylene
terephthalate (PET) plastic. One of them, the PETase from Ideonella
sakaiensis, a bacterium isolated from environmental samples within a PET
bottle recycling site, was the subject of extensive studies. To test how
widespread PETase functionality is in other bacterial communities, we
used a cascade of BLAST searches in the JGI metagenomic datasets and
showed that PETases can also be found in other metagenomic environmental
samples from both human affected and relatively pristine sites. To
confirm their classification as PETases, we verified that the newly
identified proteins have the PETase sequence signatures common to all
PETases and that phylogenetic analyses group them with the
experimentally characterized PETases. Additionally, docking analysis was
performed in order to further confirm the functional assignment of the
putative environmental PETases.
Deep reinforcement learning for resource allocation with network slicing in cognitive radio network
Authors: Yuan Siyu , Zhang Yong , Qie Wenbo , Ma Tengteng , Li Sisi
Published: December 2020

With the development of wireless communication technology, the requirement for data rate is growing rapidly. Mobile communication system faces the problem of shortage of spectrum resources. Cognitive radio technology allows secondary users to use the frequencies authorized to the primary user with the permission of the primary user, which can effectively improve the utilization of spectrum resources. In this article, we establish a cognitive network model based on underlay model and propose a cognitive network resource allocation algorithm based on DDQN (Double Deep Q Network). The algorithm jointly optimizes the spectrum efficiency of the cognitive network and QoE (Quality of Experience) of cognitive users through channel selection and power control of the cognitive users. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm can effectively improve the spectral efficiency and QoE. Compared with Q-learning and DQN, this algorithm can converge faster and obtain higher spectral efficiency and QoE. The algorithm shows a more stable and efficient performance.
A JSSP solution for production planning optimization combining industrial engineering and evolutionary algorithms
Authors: Srsen Saso , Mernik Marjan
Published: December 2020

A Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP), where p processes and n jobs should be processed on m machines so that the total completion time is minimal, is a well-known problem with many industrial applications. Many researchers focus on the JSSP classification and algorithms that address the different JSSP classes. In this research work, the production times, a very well-known theme covered in Industrial Engineering (IE), are integrated into an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to present a solution for real-world manufacturing JSSP problems solving. Since a drawback of classical IE is a manual determination of the technological times, an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture is proposed as a possible solution.

Published: December 2020

Introduction/Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the usefulness and accuracy of artificial neural networks in the prognosis of infarcted patients with previous myocardial surgical revascularization. Methods. The 13 predictor variables per patient were defined as a data set. All the patients were divided into two groups randomly: the training group and the test group, of 1090 patients each. The evaluation of the neural network performance was organized by using the original data, as well as the complementary test data, containing patient data not used for training the network. In generating the file of comparative results, the program compared the actual outcome for each patient with the predicted one. Results. All the results were compared with 2 ? 2 contingency table constructed from sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive?negative prediction. The network was able to predict the outcome with the accuracy of 96.2%, sensitivity of 78.4%, specificity of 100%, positive predictivity of 100%, and negative predictivity of 96%. There was not efficient prognosis of infarcted patients previously operated on using linear discriminant analysis (accuracy 68.3%, sensitivity 66.4%, and positive predictivity 30.2%). Conclusion. This study suggest that a neural network was better for almost all parameters in outcome prognosis of infarcted patients with previous myocardial surgical revascularization.

To compare the outcome of patients undergoing conservative management versus ultrasound guided aspiration of small amoebic liver abscess (=<200ml). This observational prospective study was conducted on 60 patients, aged between 18 to 80 years,After confirming the diagnosis, patients were exposed to medical management or USG guided Aspiration. Patients coming for regular follow-up after completing treatment were included in the study. It was found that the majority of the patients were male (86.7%) and with mean age of the studied patients was 37.10±12.66 years. Chief complaints were pain (100%) followed by fever (85.0%) and Nausea/Vomiting (48.3%) pallor (33.3%), icterus (25.0%) and Tenderness (16.7%). Majority of patients had the right lobe of the liver affected (93.4 %) with Single abscess (94.0%). Duration of Hospital stay and time of half reduction in size was significantly higher in conservative management than the USG guided Aspiration. Reoccurrence of abscess in conservative management was in 6 (20.0%) and need of Surgical intervention was in 4 (13.3%) patients while in USG guided Aspiration group only 1 (3.3%) patient shows Reoccurrence. No mortality was observed in our study. In the present study abscess containing volume of pus (<200 cc) was treated with either conservative treatment or USG guidedAspiration. Our data suggested that the USG guided Aspiration and conservative medical management in treatment ofAmoebic liver abscess are almost equal.
WATER EXTRACT OF CAESALPINIA PULCHERRIMA FLOWERS INCREASES GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN INSULIN RESISTANT ADIPOCYTES IN A DOSEDEPENDENT MANNER
Authors: Carrington-Dyall Angela B.F. , Shekaib Ahmad Idrees , Clarke-Jordan Nickelia E.
Published: December 2020

Caesalpinia pulcherrima (CP) flower extract has been shown to have antidiabetic effects on pancreatic beta cell regeneration and improved skeletal muscle glucose utilisation. However, little is known about its effect on adipocytes, particularly insulin resistant adipocytes. This study investigated the possibility of improving glucose uptake in adipocytes obtained from chickens which are naturally insulin resistant via direct effects of water extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima flowers. The extract was prepared by boiling air dried CP flowers in a water based modified Krebs Ringer Bicarbonate buffer for 5mins and sterilizing the filtrate via vacuum filtration. A glucose load of 18mM and 10% ITS was added to the extract. In the absence of adipocytes, the glucose concentration of the CP extract remained unchanged (p=0.5087). Insulin resistance in the chicken adipocytes was confirmed by delayed and limited glucose uptake (maximum 2.9% + 1.62% in 60mins). This was reversed via the addition of the water extract of the CP flowers as concentrations as low as 2.8mg/ml doubled glucose uptake and concentrations as low as 5.6mg/ml increased the rate of glucose uptake to that of insulin sensitive cells. These results suggest that water extract of CP flowers directly modulate glucose uptake into insulin resistant cells at concentrations as low as 2.8mg/ml following a 5mins decoction preparation.

Published: December 2020

The study Global Burden of Disease (GBD) drew international healthcare community's attention to the burden of neurological disorders and many other chronic conditions. This study highlighted that the burden of neurological disorders was seriously underrated by traditional epidemiological and health statistical methods that prefer only mortality rates but not disability rates. There has recently been a great deal of interest in stem cells and the nervous system, in terms of their potential for deciphering developmental issues as well as their therapeutic potential. With the advancement in cell culture, isolation techniques, and molecular analyses, various types of stem cells have now been broadly classified, isolated, and characterized from different parts of the body, even from brain and heart. The concept of stem cell-based therapy provided new hope for the treatment of neurological diseases. In this review we will discuss about ongoing stem cell therapy for neurodegenerative disease.

Entropy based k-Nearest Neighbor pattern classification (EbkNN) is a variation of the conventional k-Nearest Neighbor rule of pattern classification, which exclusively optimizes the value of k-neighbors for each test data based on the calculations of entropy. The formula for entropy used in EbkNN is the one that has been defined popularly in information theory for a set of n different types of information (class) attached to a total of m objects (data points) with each object defined by f features. In EbkNN that value of k is chosen for discrimination of given test data for which the entropy is the least non-zero value. Other rules of conventional kNN are retained in EbkNN. It is concluded that EbkNN works best for binary classification. It is computationally prohibitive to use EbkNN for discriminating the data points of the test dataset into number of classes greater than two. The biggest advantage of EbkNN vis-à-vis the conventional kNN is that in one single run of EbkNN algorithm we get optimum classification of test data. But conventional kNN algorithm has to be run separately for each of the selected range of values of k, and then the optimum k to be chosen from amongst them. We also tested our EbkNN method on WDBC (Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer) dataset. There are 569 instances in this dataset and we made a random choice of first 290 instances as training dataset and the rest 279 instances as test dataset. We got an exceptionally remarkable result with EbkNN method- accuracy close to 100% and better than the ones got by most of the other researchers who worked on WDBC dataset.

Authors: Abdul Hamid Abdul Khaliq , Aliman Nor Khasimah
Published: December 2020

This article aims to reveals the profiles of adopters and non-adopters of digital marketing application among Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia. This research focuses primarily on MSMEs in Perak State. The researchers employed a quantitative approach to meet the research objectives. A survey involving 400 MSMEs in Perak State was conducted to investigate the adopters and non-adopters of digital marketing application. The 361 completed survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. The results found that out of 361 respondents, 175 are adopters and 186 are non-adopters. The Chi-square tests indicated that the gender and age of business did influenced the adoption levels amongst MSMEs. Majority of the adopters used social media, followed by e-marketing and digital contents. Information sharing, communication with customers as well as advertising and promotion respectively were found to be the key motives for using digital marketing applications. Over sixty (60) per cent of the non-adopters stated their intention to adopt digital marketing but only 21.4 per cent of them intended to do so within a year. Enterprise “does not know how to best utilize digital marketing in business”, “not enough resources (time, monetary, employee and external support)” as well as “not enough skills and knowledge to implement digital marketing”, reported by 46.2 per cent of the non-adopters. This indicates that most Malaysian MSMEs were lack of awareness especially knowledge and internal resources to apply this type of technology. These findings have important implications and value for the research community, MSMEs and policy makers in terms of formulating improved strategies for digital marketing adoption and applications. The results also lend answers on why some MSMEs have chosen to adopt digital marketing technologies, while other MSMEs which face similar market conditions have not.

Sensibilidades arquitectónicas en la Confederación Argentina. La decoración para el chateaux del soberano moderno y la didáctica del orden arquitectónico para educar en el buen gusto. Concepción del Uruguay y Paraná, 1854 -1859
Authors: Dócola Silvia Alicia
Published: December 2020

Este artículo propone una lectura de cómo se operó desde el “buen gusto” para proyectar espacios de poder diferenciados, que fortalecieran y legitimaran el proyecto político de la Confederación Argentina bajo la presidencia de Justo José de Urquiza. Se examina la manera en que Urquiza desarrolló cierta “sensibilidad arquitectónica” para proyectar su espacio contratando a Pietro Fossati, quien, mediante el manejo de los criterios beaux-arts, convirtió la casa del caudillo en el lugar del soberano moderno. Mientras que, para la construcción de la capital de la Confederación, Santiago Danucio construyó fachadas urbanas para hacer visible los poderes del Estado, y, de ese modo, generar cierta didáctica del buen gusto, mediante la utilización de los elementos y reglas de la antigüedad clásica.

Authors: Asquini Sabrina Emilia
Published: December 2020

La Semana Trágica de enero de 1919 catalizó distintas tendencias sociales presentes en la ciudad de Buenos Aires durante la inmediata posguerra. En un contexto de polarización política, la Iglesia Católica y el catolicismo asumieron un rol activo en la defensa del orden. En el artículo se analizan las perspectivas con que el catolicismo social porteño –especialmente aquel organizado en torno a los Círculos de Obreros (1892) – intervino en la coyuntura del final de la I Guerra Mundial, qué posición tomaron en relación a la violencia estatal y paraestatal durante la huelga general, y qué tipo de iniciativas promovieron en lo sucesivo.
Packaging Information as a Polycode Advertising Text: Impact Tools
Authors: Terskikh M. V.
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of polycode advertising texts placed on food packaging. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that at present, when the decision to purchase is often made directly at the point of sale, the role of information on the packaging has increased many times over. This fact makes it necessary to analyze modern technologies of influence and manipulation that are relevant for this type of discourse. The author considers the text on the packaging as a communicative and structural holistic message, consisting of semiotically heterogeneous elements, characterized by high pragmatic and expressive saturation, aimed at encouraging consumers to make a purchase of a particular product. A typology of functions performed by the information on the packaging is proposed. The main polycode tools that ensure the effective implementation of these functions are considered. As the most frequent polycode techniques used in the text on food packaging, the author identifies the following: an emphasis is made on a unique component in the composition, categorization of the target audience according to certain criteria, the use of means of expression, including provocative metaphorization, appeal to authoritative opinion, the use of stylistic visualization, technologies of narrative and storytelling, etc.
Alishan’s poem “Hrazdan”: Polyvariety of Meanings, Interpretations, Translations
Authors: Ivanyan E. P. , Ayryan Z. G.
Published: December 2020

The question of polyvariant existence of meanings, interpretations of the poem “Hrazdan” (and its translations) by G. Alishan is considered. The novelty of the research is seen in the multidimensionality of synoptic research with an appeal to the concepts of polyvariance as a research tool, “hot” chronological periods (attention to linguistic culture) and points (anniversaries). The phenomenon of the text-heritage is studied in its historical perspective. A brief overview of the Russian-Armenian literary relationship is carried out. The Russian-Armenian literary relationship is characterized as a factor contributing to the formation of the text-heritage. The importance of the creative work researching of the outstanding Armenian figure G. Alishan is noted. The authors dwell on the history of the texts of the invariant and variants of translations into Russian, English and French (four translations). The author’s development of a synoptic model of the philological analysis of a poetic text and its translations is presented. The questions of representation of ethnocultural signs (onyms) in translation variants are touched upon. The consequences of their elimination or equivalence are commented on (the onomastic layer of the text is examined). Various translation strategies are evaluated. The features of the representation of emotions by interjections in the original and in the translation variants are compared. The technique of recursion in the refrain is revealed, its specificity in translations is discussed.
Phenomenon of Suicide in Russian Stories by V. Nabokov
Authors: Lebedeva V. Yu.
Published: December 2020

The results of the analysis of suicidal issues in the stories of V. Nabokov “Blow of a Wing”, “Fairy Tale”, “Accident”, “Lycus”, “Notification”, “Letter to Russia”, “Vasily Shishkov” are presented in the article. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that it makes it possible to clarify the writer’s ideas about being and the otherworldly, as well as to contribute to the development of such an interdisciplinary branch of scientific knowledge as thanatology. It is argued that the suicidal situations in the stories are similar: the characters take this step in a state of acute crisis as a result of long-term indulgence of weaknesses and passions (including addictions). The problem of the environment is also noted — despite the fact that the heroes are surrounded by people, they are in an atmosphere of misunderstanding and loneliness. Attention is also paid to the relationship of a number of characters with God and infernal forces (in particular, an intertextual parallel with the novel “Demons” is drawn). It is proved that suicide in the overwhelming majority of texts is a consequence of the metaphysical disintegration of heroes prone to irresponsibility, consumerism, escapism, and in some cases to the fight against God. It is concluded that the phenomenon of suicide in Russian-language Nabokov’s stories is devoid of a romantic and / or heroic halo — the writer comprehends it within the framework of European-Christian culture.
Character Taxonomy in Dina Rubina’s Trilogies of the 2000s— 2010s
Authors: Merkel E. V. , Tulusheva E. S.
Published: December 2020

The article examines the trilogy by Dina Rubina “People of the Air” (2008—2010) and “Russian Canary” (2014). The relevance of the study is due, firstly, to the low degree of study of the trilogy “Russian Canary” (the onomastic space of the work is analyzed and the features of the book are determined in the context of a family novel of the 20th century); secondly, the need to differentiate the author’s artistic methodology, which is different in the studied macro-texts. The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the authors, comparing the two trilogies by Dina Rubina, come to the conclusion that the author uses various semiotic strategies for constructing texts, thus revealing the homology of storylines, methods of constructing character series and general principles of world modeling of trilogies. The results of a comparative analysis are presented, which allow us to see the patterns of the artistic search of a modern author and his stylistic innovations. It is proved that with the parallelism of character series of two epic cycles, the author in the first case resorts to the artistic method of magical realism (“People of the Air”), and in the second case uses realistic principles of writing (“Russian Canary”).
