Authors: Zahra Rafela Ashyla , Abdurrahman Luthfi , Husnoh Asmak Ui
Published: April 2024

Pelanggaran berat hak asasi manusia (HAM) adalah pelanggaran yang sangat keji yang termasuk dalam klasifikasi kejahatan luar biasa. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji landasan hukum dan sifat mendesak dari penetapan pelanggaran HAM yang berat sebagai kejahatan luar biasa di Indonesia. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif, yang menggabungkan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Pengadilan Hak Asasi Manusia diatur dalam UU No. 26 Tahun 2000 terkait dengan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang berat. Namun demikian, penerapannya masih terbatas dan belum diklasifikasikan sebagai kejahatan luar biasa. Dengan mengklasifikasikan pelanggaran HAM berat sebagai kejahatan luar biasa, Indonesia dapat memperkuat komitmennya untuk melindungi hak asasi manusia, meningkatkan upaya pencegahan dan penghukuman, dan memperkuat keamanan di sekitar hak asasi manusia. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa undang-undang dan peraturan di Indonesia yang mengatur klasifikasi pelanggaran HAM berat sebagai kejahatan luar biasa harus direvisi.

Published: April 2024

The paper examines innovative obstacle-detection solutions designed for visually impaired people who do not rely on traditional sensors and recognize the challenges they face when navigating their environment independently. It delves into techniques leveraging alternative sensory modalities such as auditory and tactile feedback, prioritizing user experience and safety. Evaluation criteria encompass effectiveness, ease of use, and affordability, during discussions involve adapting existing infrastructure for tactile navigation and collaboration with guide animal organizations to devise comprehensive solutions. In addition to case studies showing the successful implementation of sensor-free obstacle detection in a wide range of environments, i.e., cities and indoors, challenges related to training and social acceptance of alternative methods will be addressed. In particular, the paper offers beneficial insight into novel approaches to detecting obstacles aimed at improving the mobility and independence of those with visual impairment. Our method uses advanced machine learning algorithms to interpret and predict potential obstacles in real-time. Our system can identify and classify barriers with a high degree of accuracy through analysis of user's sound feedback from their surroundings as well as the use of sophisticated learning techniques. In a wide range of real-world scenarios, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through extensive testing with visually impaired participants. The results show that compared to conventional sensor-based methods, the performance of obstacle detection is significantly improved. In addition, our solution is designed to improve the flexibility, affordability, and ease of integration with existing technologies to create an environment more conducive for people with visual impairment.

Organic farming practices have been encouraged in Malaysia’s agricultural industry to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly growth. Besides, it is also in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which are goals number three (SDG 3) and thirteen (SDG 13). Johor is a state located in the southern region of Peninsular Malaysia with varieties of fruits planted such as pineapple, durian, and other local fruits. Hence, based on the data from the Department of Agriculture (DOA), Johor recorded the highest number of fruit farmers with 36,655. However, only 5 of the fruit farmers in Johor received the Malaysian Organic Certification Scheme (myOrganic). Thus, the purpose of this research is to develop a framework for intention on organic farming practices to ensure food safety and security among fruit farmers in Malaysia. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) were employed in this study. Through quantitative research design, the questionnaire was distributed to the 119 fruit farmers in Johor by using simple random sampling. In this study, SPSS version 26.0 was used and data was examined by using a descriptive test, and Spearman’s test. The findings of this study concluded that the mean score on adoption intention among fruit farmers in Johor was M= 2.5966 which is categorized as a moderate mean value. Meanwhile, the results for the relationship between all the factors significantly influence on organic farming adoption intention. This study can contribute to the literature and provide a better understanding of the factors that influence the intention on organic farming including factors of attitude and perceived ease of use.
Can basic design be the base of urban planning education?: A case-oriented quantitative measurement model
Authors: Hazar Dalya , Gülhan Görkem , İnce Bekir
Published: April 2024

The study of design is considered as a scientific activity; however, the integration of urbanism with design thought has remained limited, which can easily be observed in the contemporary urban areas, especially in the developing countries. Thus, increasing design thinking ability and the integration of spatial planning should be a priori within urban planning and design education, and thus be practiced preventing the emergence of chaotic urban spaces. The widespread view is that basic design education increases the planning and design skills of students; therefore, it is offered during the first stage of planning education. Within the scope of the basic design courses, students experience using and transferring the formatting tools such as line, stain, texture, color, volume, light-shadow, abstraction, and perspective effectively. They learn design principles such as suitability, unity, sovereignty, contrast balance, repetition, direction, measure, range, value, motion, and hierarchy. Gestalt visual perception principles adopted by the Bauhaus school of design are often applied in basic design education. The process is completed by providing technical drawing lessons on principles and abstraction parameters. Teaching is a planned process, and objectives are determined through the cognitive-affective and psychomotor learning areas known as Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains. So, is the current education paradigm accurate and measurable? Is it possible to utilize it to improve planning and design education? For this purpose, this study researches the contribution of basic design learning outcomes to the urban planning studios and the relationship between achievement levels of students in relevant courses through knowledge and attitude tests. The research model is a case study, based on the relational analysis of quantitative data, which quantitatively propounded that the relationship between two different teaching processes is linear and positive.

Published: April 2024

This study examined Ghanaian preservice teachers’ perceptions of the newly introduced teacher licensure test in 2018. Data were obtained from an online survey of third-year preservice teachers selected from 16 of 46 public colleges of education in Ghana. By adapting an existing instrument, we created an 11-item scale, which was theoretically categorised into five components: utility of the test, college preparation, consequences, emphasis on the test, and other certification tests. The participants’ scores on each component were regressed on four predictor variables: information about the test, the student’s sex, prior teaching experience, and programme of study. The results showed that students’ sex was predictive of the utility of the test, college preparation, and emphasis on the test. Prior teaching experience was also predictive of the emphasis placed on the test and the need for other certification tests. Preservice teachers’ exposure to information about the test was associated with their perceptions of the utility of the test, the need for college preparation, and the use of other certification tests. Implications for teacher preparation and education are discussed, especially in relation to the identification of alternative certifications.
Delirium en el adulto mayor: de los biomarcadores a la práctica clínica
Authors:   , Lozano Vicario Lucía
Published: April 2024

The current doctoral thesis focuses on the potential use of biomarkers to predict delirium in older adults and the use of physical exercise as a tool to modify its evolution once established. Delirium is a serious neuropsychiatric syndrome that is very common among older adults and can lead to disability and cognitive impairment. Biomarkers can be a minimally invasive and effective strategy for predicting delirium, helping to better understand its pathophysiology and potentially contributing to the development of future therapeutic targets. This doctoral thesis is based on three studies published in different national and international journals. In the first study (chapter 1), our objective was to evaluate the existing evidence on predictive biomarkers of delirium in older adults. In the second study (chapters 2 and 3), the main objective was to analyze the association between different biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with hip fracture and the incidence of delirium. In the third study (chapters 4 and 5), the main objective was to determine the utility of a multicomponent exercise program in the evolution of hospitalized older patients with delirium using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a biomarker of cerebral perfusion.

Published: April 2024

A embolia pulmonar (EP) consiste na obstrução da artéria pulmonar, causando oclusão vascular, sua etiologia está relacionada, principalmente, ao tromboembolismo venoso (TEV), mas outras causas também podem estar associadas. As estratégias de tratamento para EP incluem anticoagulação sistêmica, fibrinólise por cateter, fibrinólise sistêmica e embolectomia pulmonar cirúrgica. No entanto, a base do tratamento continua sendo a anticoagulação. Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura para compreender a escolha do anticoagulante no tratamento dessa condição. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico. Com isso, observou-se que a heparina é o anticoagulante oral mais utilizado atualmente, enquanto os antagonistas de vitamina K (VKAs), principalmente a varfarina, apresentam maior interação com alimentos, medicamentos, álcool e mais riscos de hemorragia. Portanto, há um aumento no uso dos anticoagulantes orais diretos (DOACs) devido aos seus efeitos benéficos, como a diminuição de hemorragias e a não necessidade do monitoramento da Razão Normalizada Internacional (INR), porém nem sempre são a melhor opção devido ao alto custo e dificuldade de escolha do antídoto. Logo, é essencial a realização do diagnóstico e da intervenção precocemente, pois a maioria das mortes ocorrem nas primeiras horas a dias, associado a isso deve-se individualizar o tratamento, analisando a situação do paciente.

Authors: Chung Jui-Fu , Yang Po-Jen , Chang Chao-Kai , Lee Chia-Yi , Huang Jing-Yang , Wang Kai , Yang Shun-Fa
Published: April 2024

Introduction

To survey the potential correlation between the application of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and the incidence of uveitis in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Material and methods

A retrospective cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) was conducted. The T2DM patients using SGLT2 inhibitors and those taking other anti-diabetic medications were assigned to the SGLT2 group and the control group, respectively, with a 1 : 2 ratio via the propensity score-matching (PSM) method. The major outcome in this study is the development of uveitis according to the diagnostic codes. The Cox proportional hazard regression was adopted to yield the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) between the groups.

Results

There were 147 and 371 new uveitis episodes in the SGLT2 and control groups after the follow-up period up to 5 years. The incidence of uveitis in the SGLT2 group (aHR = 0.736, 95% CI: 0.602–0.899, p = 0.0007) was significantly lower than that in the control group after adjusting for the effect of all the confounders. In the subgroup analyses, the SGLT2 inhibitors showed a higher correlation with low uveitis incidence in T2DM patients aged under 50 than T2DM individuals aged over 50 years (p = 0.0012), while the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on the incidence of anterior and posterior uveitis development was similar (p = 0.7993).

Conclusions

The use of SGLT2 inhibitors could be an independent protective factor for uveitis development in T2DM population.

The area of education has so many themes that a study can branch out from different perspectives and still seem to lack an argument for so many sayings. For this reason, this article discusses a little of a pedagogical resource that is becoming a reality today, especially in a time of pandemic, in which the world was affected in the year 2020: reading in the lives of children in the remote school process. Audiobooks are new reading resources that are gaining space in schools. A different way from the usual is not about nonsense with reading, but about a new view on it; different but updated. As reading is a process in the student's life, and this does not happen immediately, the incentive of the teacher is an important part in the training of a student reader. Every child should be encouraged to know the literature so that he / she knows the importance of reading and interpreting, therefore, associating literacy and reading should be a pedagogical strategy for the teacher who seeks an adequate and continuous training process for his students. Due to the new format of Brazilian education in a pandemic era, audiobooks are used as a virtual technology tool.

Authors: Martins Lígia da Cruz Cardoso , Costa Cezar Henrique Ferreira
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo científico constitui um estudo sobre a problemática do fornecimento de medicamentos de alto custo e a judicialização da saúde no Brasil, especialmente em casos de pacientes com atrofia muscular espinhal. O estudo aborda dois aspectos principais relacionados ao tema: a inércia do Estado frente à garantia constitucional do direito à saúde, quando do fornecimento de medicamentos de alto custo, e o princípio da reserva do possível, o qual defende que a oferta deste tipo de medicamento não pode prejudicar a capacidade estatal de oferta de serviços e insumos básicos à saúde do restante da população. Desse modo, buscou-se analisar o fenômeno da atuação do Poder Judiciário como garantidor do acesso à saúde, principalmente no que tange os portadores de doenças raras como, por exemplo, a Atrofia Muscular Espinhal (AME), a qual faz parte de um grupo de doenças caracterizadas por degeneração progressiva dos neurônios motores, sendo uma doença carente de um tratamento, cujo medicamento, denominado Zolgensma, custa milhões de reais e não está disponível na lista de medicamento que e oferecidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Em razão disso, o que ocorre na prática é a abertura de processos judiciais pelos portadores da doença para que possam conseguir esse medicamento. Para se formar uma abrangente análise acerca do tema, utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica sobre a existência de legislação sobre a matéria e da literatura pertinente a estes casos, com o objetivo de analisar o fenômeno da atuação do Poder Judiciário como garantidor do acesso à saúde, principalmente quanto aos casos de Atrofia Muscular Espinhal.

Introduction: India is one of the countries the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized as
having the majority of lifestyle-related illnesses in the near future. The highest incidence of CVD are found on
the Indian subcontinent. Objectives:To assess the cardiovascular risk among adults aged >40 years using the
updated WHO/ISH risk prediction charts and ASCVD risk score and to compare baseline cardiovascular risk
estimation by both risk scores. Method: This cross-sectional study was done among 228 individuals aged
40–74 years of urban and rural areas. A semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaire was
developed. The data was collected in Epicollect 5 mobile application and analyzed using Jamovi software.
Results:The mean age of the study participants was 56.54 ±0.73 years. CVD high risk was signiicantly higher
in males as compared to females (P<0.05). The ASCVD risk score classiied (38.2%), of the participants as
high-risk, whereas the lab-based and non lab-based versions of WHO/ISH risk prediction classiied less than
10% as high risk. There was moderate agreement between the lab-based and non lab-based versions of the
WHO/ISH risk prediction (Kappa-0.724, p-0 .000), fair between ASCVD risk score and non lab-based versions
of the WHO/ISH (Kappa-0.310, p-0.000). The agreement between, ASCVD risk score and lab-based version of
WHO/ISH risk predictor was fair (Kappa-0.309, p-0 .000). Conclusion: In current study, it was observed that
one-third of the participants had a high risk of CVD events based on the ASCVD risk score, and a smaller
number of participants were found to be at high risk according to the WHO/ISH risk chart. So we need to
implement this risk scores predictors of CVD events for identify the high risk individual and their further
management.

Introduction: Mortality due to COVID- 19 was observed in India including Gujarat during the pandemic. Death audit of all the deaths among cases of COVID- 19 during the pandemic was carried out in Municipal Corporation area of a city of Gujarat in India. Objective: Present research was carried out to describe socio-demographic and clinical profile among deceased due to COVID-19. Method: Descriptive cross sectional record-based study was carried out. Case papers of 1078 deaths from three zones of municipal corporation were allotted for death audit to a tertiary care teaching hospital and the findings were described as proportions, mean, median, and associations were demonstrated through appropriated tests like Chi square test, t-test. Results: Mean age of deceased was 63.66+11.99 years. Male:Female ratio was 2.5:1.The median duration of stay of the deceased in the hospital was 7 (IQR: 3-12). The most commonly recorded immediate cause of death was Type 1 Respiratory failure 533 (49.44%). Proportion of comorbidities increased with increase in age and this was statistically highly significant. However, there was no gender-wise association of comorbidities. There was no association of SpO2 levels with age. However, SpO2 levels were significantly associated with fever, sore throat, breathlessness and ischaemic heart disease. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, individuals more than 60 years of age were identified as high risk group, Emphasis on early referral and proper management of comorbidities is required to decrease the mortality.

Introduction: Support from the external environment for enabling behavioral change, is often instrumental in mediating glycemic control in patients coping with diabetes. While evidence is scant in the Indian setting, there is a lack of consistency in findings among studies done elsewhere. Objective: To assess the perceived availability of social support and its association with glycemic control among type 2 diabetics. Method: Between October and December 2019, Cross sectional study was conducted among 150 adult patients, selected using convenient sampling method at the Diabetology clinic in a tertiary care centre in Chennai. Outpatients with a confirmed diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for at least one year, were recruited by convenient sampling. Perceived social support was assessed using the RAND-MOS social support survey instrument, while average of last three fasting blood glucose (FBG) readings determined glycemic status. Non-parametric Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze association of social support with glycemic control and socio-demographic determinants. Spearman’s correlation coefficients with 95% CIs are reported for association of individual domain scores with average FBG. All analyses were performed with SPSS Version 23. Results: Study participants were aged 35 to 85 years, and living with type 2 diabetes for a mean duration of 10 ± 7.7 years. The average FBG in the past year ranged from 79 to 398 mg/dl in these patients, with 41 (27%) and 109 (73%) being classified as having good and poor glycemic control, respectively. The median (IQR) social support summary score was 62 (40-81) on a scale of 0 – 100; perceived social support was reportedly low, intermediate, and high in 36 (24%), 74 (49%) and 40 (27%) participants, respectively. The level of social support was not found to be significantly associated with glycemic control (P=0.628); average FBG and summary social support score showed no correlation [ρ=.081 (95% CI: -.097, .253), P =.322]. Conclusion: While a three- fourths majority reported availability of social support for coping with diabetes, this was not found to be significantly associated with glycemic status. The potential role of support networks, beyond the immediate family, in improving health outcomes needs to be examined.

Elevator atau Lift merupakan alat transportasi yang digunakan untuk mengangkut orang atau barang dari suatu lantai ke lantai lain yang lebih tinggi atau lebih rendah secara vertical menggunakan seperangkat alat mekanik yang digunakan untuk menggerakkan lift dengan sebuah perintah kontrol, yang dimana elevator atau lift ini menjadi salah satu alat transportasi perpindahan lantai yang paling aman dan cepat di sebuah gedung atau bangunan tinggi. Pada kabin lift juga memiliki sistem keamanan yang dirancang untuk memberikan keamanan pada pengguna. Pintu lift yang terdapat sensor Ultrasonik yang dirancang ketika mendeteksi adanya halangan dapat membuka kembali pintu lift yang akan tertutup, dan kasus yang sering terjadi ialah penumpang yang terjebak di dalam kabin lift dan harus menunggu hingga di evakuasi akibat adanya pemadaman listrik yang membuat padam sistem kerja lift. Maka dari itu dirancanglah sebuah sistem keamanan agar pintu lift dapat terbuka saat terjadi pemadaman dengan menggunakan tenaga cadangan agar penumpang yang ada di kabin lift dapat menyelamatkan diri. Dan pada kabin lift juga terdapat sistem keamanan berupa pendeteksi batas beban yang dapat di angkut pada kabin lift yang menggunakan sensor Load cell sebagai pendeteksi beban yang di hubungkan dengan modul HX711 untuk merubah hasil resistansi yang didapat dan mengkonversinya menjadi besaran tegangan yang dikirim ke mikrokontroler. Mikrokontroler yang digunakan ialah Arduino Nano, komponen tersebut digunakan sebagai penerima data dari semua sensor sensor yang digunakan untuk men-trigger relay yang berfungsi untuk mengkatifkan pin pada Programmable Logic Controller(PLC) sebagai kontrol utama untuk mengontrol jalannya sistem kerja pada lift. Dari hasil Pengujian alat ini, didapat akurasi sensor Load cell yaitu 0.8%, berat beban yang diterima oleh sensor Load cell tidak selalu berada pada nilai konstan dan memiliki selisih berkisar 0-13gram dan Sistem mekanik pada pintu yang menggunakan motor DC24V sebagai penggerak, ruji velg motor sebagai rel ternyata kurang efisien pada saat uji coba.
