TATACARA PENETAPAN BATAS TANAH DIKALANGAN MASYARAKAT KECAMATAN BAKONGAN TIMUR DITINJAU MENURUT KONSEP MAL ‘UQAR
Authors: Gusmira Elida
Published: July 2019

Permasalahan penetapan batas tanah merupakan penunjukan batas-batas bidang tanah yang ditetapkan oleh pribadi (pemilik tanah itu sendiri) sebelum dilaksanakan pengukuran atas bidang tanah pemilik tanah harusmemasang patok pada setiap titik-titik sudut batas yang akan diukur oleh pihak yang telah ditentukan. Disaksikan oleh kepala desa, aparatur-aparatur desa, dan para pihak yang berbatasan tanah. Permasalahan yang terdapat dalam penelitian bahwa penetapan tanda batas tidak diikutsertai oleh kepala desa dan para pihak yang berbatasan tanah, akan tetapi pihak pribadi tanah mendirikan tanda batas dengan sendirinya. Seperti halnya yang terjadi lahan perkebunan oleh pemilik A yang berdekatan dengan pemilik B yang asal mula tidak ada tanda batas pada saat pemasangan tanda batas tidak disertai pemilik B dan telah melewati tanah pemilik B. Dalam penulisan ini penulis mengkaji bagaimana prosedur penetapan batas tanah dikalangan masyarakat Bakongan Timur serta bagaimana analisis Mal ‘Uqar dalam penetapan batas tanah dikalangan masyarakat Bakongan Timur yang sebenarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa segala bentuk permasalahan batas tanah ada yang belum terselesaikan dikarenakan ketidak inginan masyarakat untuk melaporkan kepada pihak berwajib, prosedur penetapan pengukuran tanah dengan cara memberi patok terlebih dahulu pada batas tanah yang akan diukur oleh pihak penanggung jawab dengan beberapa saksi dan antara kedua belah pihak yang berbatasan disertai kepala desa, dalam hal pengendalian permasalahan batas tanah agar tidak terjadi hal-hal yang tidak merugikan diri sendiri dan pihak lain.

Published: July 2019

Tempat Pelelangan Ikan di Lampulo Kota Banda Aceh, merupakan tempat yang terbesar di Aceh dimana bongkar muat ikan, namum dengan begitu belum bisa memberikan pelayanan yang terbaik kepada konsumen, pedagang dalam menimbang ikan belum jelas keakuratan timbangan sehingga konsumen merasa dirugikan. Adapun tujuan penelitian penulis adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses penimbangan ikan dalam perspektif ma’qud alaih di tempat pelelangan ikan di Kota Banda Aceh. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian maka penulis menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dengan pendekatan Kualitatif. Data yang dikumpulkan melalui Library research dan Field research seperti : wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Jenis penelitian ini yang menunjukan bahwa pemecahan permasalahan yang aktual dengan jalan menyusun, menganalisa, dan menginterprestasis seluruh data yang berhubungan dengan penulisan. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan proses penimbangan ikan  di TPI Lampulo tidak akurat takaran timbangannya, dan pembulatan ukuran timbangan sudah menjadi kebiasaan demi mendapatkan keuntungan bagi pedagang yang merugikan  konsumen, para pedagang ikan yang menjual ikan dalam jumlah yang banyak  ketika melakukan penimbangan tidak memperhatikan wadah tempat penimbangan ikan. Wadah tempat penimbangan ikan kadang kala basah atau kering. Terdapat perbedaan berat wadah yang kering mencapai 2,8 kilogram ketika basah wadah tersebut mencapai 3 kilogram. Para pedagang ikan di TPI lampulo Kota Banda Aceh membulatkan menjadi 3 kilogram terdapat 0,2 kilogram kerugian bagi konsumen. Menurut beberapa pedagang hal tersebut sudah menjadi kebiasan. Berdasarkan uraian di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa proses penimbangan ikan yang tejadi di TPI Lampulo Banda Aceh tidak akurat takaran timbangan, menurut tinjaun ma’qud ‘alaih penimbang ikan yang terjadi di TPI Lampulo  belum sah, karena belum terpenuhi syarat keakuratan timbangan.
Argón plasma versus mucosectomía con bandas en el manejo endoscópico del esófago de Barrett con displasia o el carcinoma de esófago in situ

Published: July 2019

Introducción: se han descrito diferentes técnicas endoscópicas para la ablación del epitelio metaplásico esofágico manteniendo la integridad de la submucosa, bajo una agresiva terapia supresora de ácido con los bloqueadores de bomba. En lo evaluado hasta la fecha existen muy pocos estudios que comparen las diferentes técnicas endoscópicas que reviertan el esófago de Barrett (EB) con displasia y los factores que pueden influir en el pronóstico con estas terapias no se han evaluado consistentemente.

Objetivo: este es un estudio piloto que compara la eficacia en la erradicación completa del EB con displasia, entre la resección endoscópica mucosa (EMR) con bandas y la terapia con argón plasma (APC) con bajo voltaje. Los puntos a evaluar son: a) la completa ablación del EB; b) el número de sesiones requeridas; c) las complicaciones.

Métodos: la APC se realizó con un catéter flexible 10 Fr. El voltaje utilizado fue de 50 W y el flujo varió entre 1 y 2 l/min. En el grupo de EMR con bandas, la mucosa con EB con un equipo de ligadura multibandas. Hasta seis bandas fueron colocadas por sesión. La mucosa con el EB fue removida con un asa de polipectomía con corriente mezclada. Los pacientes fueron seguidos con endoscopia, se obtuvieron biopsias de cuatro cuadrantes en las áreas tratadas o no a los tres, seis y doce meses después de terminar el tratamiento. Todos los pacientes recibían dosis altas de bloqueadores de bomba de protones.

Resultados: este es un estudio prospectivo y describe nuestros resultados en un grupo de 62 pacientes con Barrett y displasia, 33 pacientes (22 hombres, 67%) tratados con APC y 29 con EMR (19 hombres, 66%). La ablación completa del EB se dio en 86,2% con EMR y 79% en la terapia con APC. El número de sesiones requeridas para lograr el tratamiento completo fue de 1±1 con EMR y de 2±1 con APC. No se presentaron complicaciones mayores como sangrado digestivo con necesidad de transfusión o perforaciones. La única complicación observada fue la presentación de estenosis de esófago en dos pacientes (una en cada grupo) tratadas con éxito con una sesión única de dilatación. Después de una media de 68,7±18,9 meses de seguimiento en el grupo de APC y de 50,2±19,3 meses en los de EMR, no se observó la presencia de carcinoma de esófago o muertes atribuibles a la enfermedad o la terapia.

Conclusiones: en los pacientes con EB con displasia de alto o bajo grado, el APC o la EMR logran comparables altas tasas de erradicación de la neoplasia y la metaplasia intestinal (79% versus 86%). Ambos procedimientos son equiparables en efectividad y bastantes seguros con una baja tasa de complicaciones; sin embargo, APC se asocia a un mayor número de sesiones.
Aspectos morfológicos de la enfermedad hepática inducida por drogas
Authors: López Panqueva Rocío del Pilar
Published: July 2019

La enfermedad hepática inducida por drogas es un fenómeno multifacético y su espectro morfológico es muy variado imitando cualquier patrón de daño hepático, tanto en pacientes expuestos en forma aguda o crónica, en aquellos susceptibles en forma idiosincrática a una dosis terapéutica o por toxicidad intrínseca, a su vez puede estar afectada por otros factores como son los genéticos, la edad o el sexo, el estado nutricional, la exposición a otros fármacos o la existencia de una enfermedad de base; puede ser la única manifestación clínica del efecto adverso de una droga o estar acompañado de manifestaciones sistémicas o de otros órganos, e incluso puede llegar a ser fatal (1).

Su incidencia no está bien definida, algunos estudios afirman que la incidencia global es variable encontrándose entre 1-15 x 100.000 personas/año, en USA ocurren 20 nuevos casos x 100.000 habitantes/año. Se han descrito como causantes de lesión hepática más de 900 drogas, productos herbales, homeopáticos, suplementos dietéticos o toxinas, sean productos naturales o de la industria farmacéutica, utilizados o no en dosis terapéuticas, que son las responsables de aproximadamente 15% de consultas y hospitalizaciones por ictericia, hepatitis aguda o crónica; en la población adulta, por encima de los 50 años, llega a 40% de todos los casos de hepatitis. Es también la causante de 11-50% de casos de falla hepática aguda. Los datos publicados indican que los antibióticos son responsables entre un 27-46% de los casos, seguidos por medicamentos para enfermedades del sistema nervioso central entre 13-17%, antiinflamatorios y analgésicos de 5-17% y los productos herbales 9%. Nuevos biomarcadores y el uso de microRNA se están estudiando y serán prometedores en un futuro cercano para identificar pacientes que puedan presentar hepatotoxicidad inducida por medicamentos.

Son tantos los tipos de lesión hepática atribuidos a estos agentes que solo podremos dar algunos ejemplos en este artículo, basados en los patrones de daño hepático y enfatizando la importancia de una adecuada y profunda correlación clínica (2, 3).

Published: July 2019

Introduction/Objective Epidemiological studies have established cigarette smoking as one of the most significant risk factors in pathogenesis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). One of the possible underlying mechanism is chronic inflammation, but published data regarding the effect of tobacco on systemic immune response is inconsistent. The goal of this study was to evaluate concentrations of serum proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1?, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-?] in patients with LSCC and in healthy subjects according to cigarette smoking. Methods Fifty-nine LSCC patients and 44 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Samples of peripheral blood and details of tobacco use were gathered from the examinees. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-1?, and TNF-?. The results were compared according to active smoking status. Results Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between smoking LSCC patients and smoking healthy subjects. Additionally, investigated cytokines were not significantly different in healthy subjects according to smoking status. In non-smoking participants with LSCC, concentrations of serum IL-1? and TNF-? were higher (p < 0.05) in comparison with smoking LSCC patients. Conclusion Findings of our study may indicate that smoking leads to the suppression of proinflammatory response in LSCC patients, whilst proinflammatory response is unaffected by cigarettes in healthy subjects.
Variations in ionospheric D-region recombination properties during increase of its X-ray heating induced by solar X-ray flare
Authors: Nina Aleksandra , Cadez Vladimir , Lakićević Masa , Radovanović Milan , Kolarski Aleksandra , Popović Luka
Published: July 2019

In this paper we present an analysis of parameters describing the effective recombination processes in the upper ionospheric D-region in the period of its additional heating by the X-radiation emitted during a solar X-ray flare. We present a procedure for calculation of the effective recombination coefficient and electron loss rate in the period when the X-radiation flux detected by the GOES satellite in the wavelength domain between 0.1 and 0.8 nm increases. The developed procedure is based on observational data obtained in the low ionospheric monitoring by the very low/low frequency radio waves and it is related to the considered area and time period. The obtained expressions are applied to data for the very low frequency signal emitted in Germany and recorded in Serbia during the solar X-ray flare detected by the GOES-14 satellite on May 5, 2010.
Private Equity Net Asset Values and Future Cash Flows
Authors: Jenkinson Tim , Landsman Wayne R. , Rountree Brian R. , Soonawalla Kazbi
Published: July 2019

This study analyzes whether fair value estimates of fund net asset values (NAVs) produced by private equity managers are accurate and unbiased predictors of future discounted cash flows (DCFs). We exploit the fact that private equity funds have finite lives to compare reported NAVs to DCFs based on realized cash flows for 384 Venture Capital (VC) funds and 195 Buyout funds spanning 1988–2016. Findings reveal that Buyout funds' NAVs display little systematic bias, but VC funds' NAVs are relatively aggressively biased compared to Buyout funds, especially since 2000. Accuracy is worse in the first half of the sample period even though NAV estimates generally are more conservative. Overall, the results reveal significant differences in the association between NAVs and DCFs for Buyout versus VC funds, which is particularly important for private equity fund investors in their consideration of the relevance and reliability of NAV estimates provided by fund managers.
Is There Information Content in Information Acquisition?
Authors: Drake Michael S. , Johnson Bret A. , Roulstone Darren T. , Thornock Jacob R.
Published: July 2019

In this study, we examine whether investors' actions to acquire accounting information are predictive of future firm performance because these actions partially reveal investors' private expectations of this performance. Using a database of EDGAR downloads, we find some evidence that information acquisition of accounting reports by EDGAR users is, on average, predictive of future firm performance. We then determine the identity of the EDGAR user and examine whether different users' private expectations will be relatively more predictive of subsequent performance. We find that the information acquisition activities of more sophisticated institutional users (e.g., hedge funds, investment banks) are more strongly associated with future performance than are those of less sophisticated retail users. Finally, we find that information acquisition by sophisticated institutions is a leading indicator of their equity holdings. In summary, this study provides evidence of predictive information embedded in sophisticated investors' actions to acquire accounting information.
Who Manages the Firm Matters: The Incremental Effect of Individual Managers on Accounting Quality
Authors: Wells Kara
Published: July 2019

I investigate whether individual managers have an incremental effect on firms' accounting quality (AQ) after controlling for known determinants of AQ, time fixed effects, and firm fixed effects. To identify the manager-specific effect on firm AQ, I construct a dataset that tracks the movement of 907 managers across firms over the period 1992–2014. Results indicate that individual manager fixed effects explain a statistically and economically significant proportion of the cross-sectional variation in AQ, which is comparable to that of firm fixed effects. Variation in managerial attributes that impact AQ is applied consistently as firms switch manager-type. Using a setting of exogenous CEO turnover, I find managerial idiosyncrasies impact AQ and are not merely a reflection of firms actively choosing managers with a desired combination of managerial attributes that, in turn, impact the variability of accruals. Overall, my study underscores the importance of individual managers in the determination of AQ.

Do Investors Value Higher Financial Reporting Quality, and Can Expanded Audit Reports Unlock This Value?
Authors: Elliott W. Brooke , Fanning Kirsten , Peecher Mark E.
Published: July 2019

We present new theory and experimental findings indicating that investors ascribe value to firms that use higher financial reporting quality (FRQ), controlling for the influence of higher FRQ on their estimates of these firms' fundamental value. To guide our investigation, we draw on the cooperation literature in accounting, finance, and psychology. We identify expanded audit reports, particularly auditor commentary, as a mechanism that credibly communicates whether a firm uses higher FRQ. Auditor commentary increases investors' willingness to pay (WTP) more for shares of a firm using higher FRQ than a competing firm using lower FRQ. We also provide process evidence that investors perceive higher FRQ as cooperative behavior by measuring their affective responses and cognitive beliefs, which mediate the influence of audit commentary on investors' increased WTP for higher FRQ. A second experiment bolsters the link between investors' affective and cognitive responses to a firm's FRQ and perceived cooperative behavior.
Legal Environment and Corporate Tax Avoidance: Evidence from State Tax Codes
Authors: Ma Mark (Shuai) , Thomas Wayne B.
Published: July 2019

This study examines the effect of legal environment on corporate state income tax avoidance. We find that the extent of penalties on corporate officers reduces state tax avoidance. However, we find no evidence that the extent of penalties on shareholders reduces state tax avoidance. Thus, the legal environment faced by managers has a greater deterrent effect on tax avoidance than does the legal environment faced by shareholders. Only when managerial ownership is high do we find evidence that shareholder penalties affect corporate tax avoidance behavior. Our study contributes to the literature on agency problems related to corporate tax reporting.

Comments of the Auditing Standards Committee of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association on Proposed Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements, Amendments to the Description of the Concept of Materiality
Authors: Dennis Sean , Dickins Denise , Earley Christine E. , Higgs Julia L.
Published: July 2019

In June 2019, the Auditing Standards Board (the Board) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued a request for comment on its Proposed Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements, Amendments to the Description of the Concept of Materiality (the Proposal), which seeks to change the criteria for determining whether omissions or misstatements rise to the level of materially misstating financial statements from those that could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of a user, to those where there is a substantial likelihood that they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user. The comment period ends August 5, 2019. This commentary summarizes the participating committee members' views on feedback requested by the Board.

Assigned versus Chosen Relative Performance Information: The Effect of Feedback Frequency on Performance
Authors: Holderness D. Kip , Olsen Kari Joseph , Thornock Todd A.
Published: July 2019

Technological advancements have greatly improved the ability to provide relative performance information (RPI), including information systems capable of providing feedback on demand. We use an experiment to examine the effect of RPI feedback frequency on task performance when RPI is assigned by managers and when RPI is solicited by employees. When RPI is assigned to employees, we hypothesize and find a non-linear relationship between RPI frequency and performance such that an increase in frequency first increases and then decreases performance. In contrast, we hypothesize and find that when RPI is chosen by employees, the negative effect of highly frequent RPI on performance is not only mitigated, but reversed, due to individuals placing greater weight on chosen feedback than assigned feedback. We also find that when individuals choose to view RPI feedback, strategic effort (i.e., expending short-term resources for long-term benefits) mediates the relation between viewing RPI and subsequent performance.

ARTIKKEL 3 Studentaktivitet i nettbasert undervisning med Team-Based Learning som lærings- og undervisningsstrategi
Authors: Brynhildsvoll Randi , Lindgaard Oddlaug Marie , Robertsen Kåre
Published: July 2019

Nettbasert undervisning får stor oppmerksomhet, og fremheves både som et satsingsområde fra myndighetenes side og som et behov fra brukernes side. Denne artikkelen rapporterer funn fra et forskningsprosjekt hvor undervisning som normalt gjøres ved stedlig studiested, gjøres nettbasert. Forskningsprosjektet blir utført med et kull studenter ved en videreutdanning for trafikklærer tunge kjøretøy ved Faggruppe Trafikk, Handelshøgskolen, Nord universitet. Det tar utgangspunkt i å fremme studentaktivitet i nettbasert undervisning med Team-Based Learning som lærings- og undervisningsstrategi. Funn viser at læring på nett kan gjøres med stor grad av studentaktivitet. Det forutsetter at underviser har tilstrekkelig digital kompetanse, kompetanse innen nettpedagogikk, og velger et læringsdesign som skaper studentaktivitet. Det krever også at universitetet har et støtteapparat for digital læring med god nok kapasitet.
ARTIKKEL 4 Teoretisk trafikal kunnskap – motivasjon hos yngre trafikanter i klassen AM 146
Authors: Wigum Jan Petter , Sætren Gunhild Birgitte
Published: July 2019

Målet med denne undersøkelsen var å finne motivasjonen for innlæring av teoretisk trafikal kunnskap i mopedopplæring (førerkortklasse AM 146), samt å finne ut når elevene tilegner seg denne kunnskapen. AM 146 er den eneste førerkortklassen som kun krever teoretisk prøve. Indre motivasjon er ansett som viktig for å oppnå kvalitativ læring. Av den grunn ble det gjennomført en surveyundersøkelse med N = 40 ungdommer, der alle var 16 år. Kjønnsfordelingen var F = 26 (65 %) og M = 14 (35 %). Over 90 % av respondentene svarte at de forbereder seg på teorien kun før den teoretiske prøven, og at de ikke leser teori før eller i løpet av den praktiske gjennomgangen. Dette indikerer at de fleste elevene ikke leser teori før etter at den praktiske delen er ferdig, og at de sannsynligvis har en ytre motivasjon for å lese teorien til førerprøven.
ARTIKKEL 7 Artefakter og den erfarte læreplan som pedagogiske verktøy i undervisning og læring
Authors: Isachsen Brit Solli
Published: July 2019

Denne refleksjonsartikkelen handler om artefakter som pedagogiske verktøy i læring. Nord universitet, Faggruppe Trafikk, har et nasjonalt ansvar for utdanning av trafikklærere i Norge. Som lærer for studenter i trafikkfag har jeg ofte tenkt på hvilken rolle artefakter har i undervisningen. Med eksempler fra reelle lærer- og læringssituasjoner viser jeg til samspillet mellom artefakter, den erfarte læreplan, elevenes læringsutbytte og undervisningen studentene gjennomfører. Artikkelen viser også til relasjoner og tilbakemeldinger fra nærveileder, studenter og deres elever. Trafikkfaget legger til rette for et miljø med god dialog, trygghet og tillit. Dette er avgjørende for at artefakter blir meningsbærere, for eksempel bilen i rollen som formidler av mening, i vår undervisning og læring.

Introduction: The growing of non-medical use of prescription drugs is a global health problem and it has emerged as a particularly dangerous health-behavior among young people. However studies assessing misuse among people in Abakaliki are non-existent. Aim: To determine the prevalence and pattern of non-medical use of prescription drugs in Abakaliki. Materials and method: This was a cross-sectional study that involved 420 participants. The respondents completed an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire assessing past-year prevalence and pattern of non-medical use of five classes of prescription drugs. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: The prevalence of non-medical use of prescription drugs in this study was 38.3%. The mean age of the participants was 22.2 ± 3.8 years with majority of them (38.3%) being within the 19-25 years age bracket. The majority of participants were males (52.1%) whereas female accounted for 47.9% of the respondents. Pain medications such as tramadol, codeine and morphine accounted for majority (73.8%) of unprescribed medication abused by the respondents. This is followed by other medications such as ibuprofen which was 45%. Sleeping medications and stimulants accounted for 28.3% and 27.4% of unprescribed drugs respectively. Similarly, pain medication accounted for majority (74.8%) of prescribed medicines used by the participants for non medicinal purposes. The least abused class of drugs in the prescribed category were sedative/anxiety medications which accounted for just over 18%. To relax or relieve tension is the most common reasons (20.5%) for use of drugs for non medical purposes reported in this study. Other reasons include to improve concentration (16.7%), to get high (10.7%) and for recreation (6.9%). Conclusion: This study shows high prevalence of non medical use of prescription drugs among our study participants in Abakaliki.

Authors: Ariyanto Bambang
Published: July 2019

Regional autonomy has given authority to local governments to regulate and manage their own government households. The authority of the regional government in regulating this is realized through regional authority to make legal products called Regional Regulations. This regulation is an operational juridical instrument and controlling instrument for the implementation of regional autonomy. Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Establishment of Legislation Regulations mandates that there are stages that must be passed in forming legislation, namely through the stages of planning, drafting, discussion, ratification or stipulation, and promulgation. This study examines and answers the problems regarding the procedure for establishing Regional Regulations in East Java Province. From the normative aspect, how is the process of establishing a Regional Regulation in East Java Province, and whether its formation is in accordance with the orderly basis of the formation of the Laws and Regulations. This study is a normative juridical study using a statute approach and conceptual approach. The results of the study state that the Establishment of Regional Regulations in the Provinces in East Java is in accordance with the basic order of the establishment of Legislation. There are stages in the formation of the Regional Regulation, which refers to the East Java Provincial Regulation No. 1 of 2015 concerning the Establishment of Regional Legal Products. The stages of establishing a Regional Regulation include: Planning, drafting, discussion, final alignment, stipulation or ratification, enactment, clarification and evaluation; and dissemination.
The Relevance of Public Governance to National Environmental Performance
Authors: Basrija Andre , Handoyo Sofik
Published: July 2019

The study aims to examine the influence of public governance on national environmental performance. Public governance in this study consists of four attributes, namely government accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, and regulatory quality. This study was triggered by the phenomenon that countries with excellent economic performance, but they do not always have an excellent national environmental performance. The study involved 155 countries member of World Bank countries. This study adopted a Purposive Sampling technique. Path analysis was applied in this study because there is a correlation among independent variables. Public governance was measured using the Worldwide Governance Indicator (WGI) scores by the World Bank. Meanwhile, environmental performance was measured using the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) score by  The Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy (YCELP). Simultaneously, the result indicates that government accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, and regulatory quality have a significant influence on national environmental performance. However, partially, only government effectiveness variable has a significant influence on national environmental performance. Meanwhile, government accountability, political stability, and regulatory quality do not have a substantial effect on national environmental performance.

Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) are one of four Asian elephants subspecies, which are categorized as Critically Endangered by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) since 2011. Some factors that might drive this species into extinction ranges from wild attacks in the forest, habitat degradation due to land acquisition for plantation and development areas, and human slaughter because they regard these animals as enemies that sometimes enter community settlements. Elephants in Sembilang National Park is an interesting issue because it has not been registered as key species in Sembilang National Park, as well as no authentic evidence and official reports about the existence of elephants in the park. This paper proves the existence of elephants in Sembilang National Park, South Sumatra. The elephant documentation is in the form of photos and videos of 4 different elephant individuals, footage, cruising lanes and elephant puddles. Evidence of the existence of elephants in Sembilang National Park strongly indicates that future actions, participation and attention of all stakeholders are needed to the conservation efforts of the biggest Sumatran mammals in Sembilang National Park

Respecto de los resultados del segundo objetivo, las dos principales limitaciones declaradas en los estudios son el uso de instrumentos de medida de tipo autorreporte y los diseños que son principalemente correlaciónales y escasos cuasiexperimento; las dos principales orientaciones son que las universidades fomenten la actividad física a través de programas de intervención y que sea integrada al currículum.
Planning for resilience in the case of power shortage: The Swedish STYREL policy
Authors: Olausson Pär Magnus
Published: July 2019

Modern society has developed a growing dependence on electricity in order to carry out important societal functions. This implies the risk of cascading failures to society in the case of power shortage. The creation of a resilient and sustainable power energy system is therefore crucial. Equal crucial is the preparedness for the event of power shortage. As a part of the Swedish crisis management system, the Swedish Energy Agency (EM) has developed a planning system, STYREL, to identify social important objects in order to ensure important social functions in the case of power shortage. This article examines STYREL as a policy network and as a planning system to ensure a sustainable and resilient power supply. The study focus on the design of the system, the implementation of the system based on the results from the two rounds completed in 2010 and 2014. Using interviews with coordinators at the local and regional level in three counties and a survey including all 21 coordinators at the regional level, it indicates that the design of the planning system reviles opportunities for improvements of the planning system. The study also indicates that the coordinators at the local level lack trust in the planning system depending on both the lack of resource and the lack of feedback. This in turn indicates challenges for the system from a resilient and sustainability point of view.

The subsurface of a proposed site for building development in Mowe, Nigeria, using Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) and Horizontal Electrical Profiling (HEP), was investigated with the aim of evaluating the suitability of the strata for foundation materials. Four SPT and CPT were conducted using 2.5 tonnes hammer. HEP utilizing Wenner array were performed with inter-electrode spacing of 10 – 60 m along four traverses coincident with each of the SPT and CPT. The HEP data were processed using DIPRO software and textural filtering of the resulting resistivity sections was implemented to enable delineation of hidden layers. Sandy lateritic clay, silty lateritic clay, clay, clayey sand and sand horizons were delineated. The SPT “N” value defined very soft to soft sandy lateritic (<4), stiff silty lateritic clay (7 – 12), very stiff silty clay (12 - 15), clayey sand (15-20) and sand (27 – 37). Sandy lateritic clay (5-40 kg/cm2) and silty lateritic clay (25 - 65 kg/cm2) were defined from the CPT response. Sandy lateritic clay (220-750 Ωm), clay (< 50 Ωm) and sand (415-5359 Ωm) were delineated from the resistivity sections with two thin layers of silty lateritic clay and clayey sand defined in the texturally filtered resistivity sections. Incompetent clayey materials that are unsuitable for the foundation of the proposed structure underlain the study area to a depth of about 18m. Deep foundation involving piling through the incompetent shallow layers to the competent sand at 20 m depth was recommended.
NO2 Seasonal and Interannual Variability in Ukrainian Industrial Cities

Published: July 2019

The paper aims to define the main features and principles of seasonal and interannual NO2 variations in Ukrainian industrial cities. Using ground-based measurements for 15-year period, it shows weak NO2 seasonal variability that could intensify in case of three regularities. These regularities depend on impact of natural conditions during anthropogenic emissions growth and redistribution between emission sources. Most industrial cities are characterized by positive trends even if stationary industrial emissions fall. NO2 interannual changes forms under variety of fluctuations. However, 6.2- and 9.3-year periods have the biggest impact and might be explained by low-frequent lunar tidal forces through its influence on meteorological conditions.
