Authors: Widodo Heru
Published: May 2021

Since the first local elections held, there are four periodization of authority to examine local election results: first, at the Supreme Court from 2005 to 2008; second, at the Constitutional Court from 2008 to 2013; Third, at the High Court and can be submitted for higher examination to the Supreme Court; and fourth, the transitional period at the MK from 2015 until the special judicial institution has been formed. The judicial procedure to examine the local election results on all four periodization have similarities and differences. The difference lies on the time limit of registration and examination, how to examine and the number of examiner judges, proof models adopted, as well as varying decisions in the third period at the PT, which still can be objected to the Supreme Court. As long as it meets three conditions: being within the threshold of the difference in votes, influencing the vote acquisition and changing the configuration of the choice of candidate pairs, the idea is proposed to expand, the scope of the dispute over the election results to cover also legal events in the quiet period, the night of voting, also in the span of the day of the election until the determination of recapitulation, which has the potential to be legal problem, whether administration or criminal violation, with restrictions, that affected the configuration of the vote and election of the candidates.

Corruption crimes always turn out to be more neat and difficult to reveal, thus demanding changes in the system that capable of eradicating corruption to its roots. And one of the changes is the implementation of a reversed burden of proof system that makes it easier for prosecutors to reveal the criminal elements in a corruption case. Even though it has been included in positive law, in practice this proof is not fully applied and there are still obstacles in its application. This study seeks to answer in what cases this reverse burden of proof is applied and what are the obstacles in its application. This research concludes that the reversal burden of proof system in Indonesia is applied only to criminal acts of gratification whose nominal value is above Rp. 10 million and is used to confiscate the property of the defendant who has not been charged by the prosecutor. Meanwhile, the obstacles to implementing a system of reversal burden of proof are 1) the existence of a judicial mafia, 2) a legal culture that has not yet adapted to the new system, and 3) reverse burden of proof is not clearly regulated in Indonesian law.

Abstrak

Kejahatan korupsi selalu berubah menjadi lebih rapih dan sulit diungkap sehingga menuntut adanya perubahan sistem yang mampu untuk memberantas korupsi sampai keakarnya. Dan salah satu perubahan itu adalah dengan penerapan sistem beban pembuktian terbalik yang memudahkan jaksa untuk mengungkap unsur pidana dalam sebuah kasus korupsi. Meskipun sudah dicantumkan didalam hukum positif, namun dalam praktiknya pembuktian ini tidak diterapkan secara menyeluruh serta masih ada hambatan dalam penerapannya. Penelitian ini berupaya menjawab dalam kasus apa saja beban pembuktian terbalik ini diterapkan serta apa saja hambatan dalam penerapannya. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan sistem beban pembuktian terbalik di Indonesia dilaksanakan hanya pada tindak pidana gratifikasi yang nominalnya diatas Rp 10 juta serta digunakan untuk perampasan harta terdakwa yang belum didakwakan jaksa. Sedangkan hambatan penerapan sistem beban pembuktian terbalik yaitu 1) adanya mafia peradilan, 2) budaya hukum yang belum beradaptasi dengan sistem baru, dan 3) pembuktian terbalik tidak diatur secara jelas dalam undang-undang.

Spatial Analysis of the Relationship Between Income and Consumption of the Population Based on Panel Data
Authors: Lakman I. A. , Timiryanova V. M. , Popov D. V.
Published: May 2021

The article presents results of a study on influence of population dynamics, regional characteristics and the type structure of income on consumption. The ability to investigate spatial dependencies and territorial effects over time was made possible by autoregression spatial models built on panel data. The article describes features of such models, sequence of calculations, and also presents modified tests to justify the choice of the model specification.Calculations were made using data from 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation (cross-sectional observations) for 2010–2019 (10 time periods). The analysis showed that both population income and retail turnover, which largely determine the level and structure of population consumption, have spatial dependencies. The built spatial error model with fixed effects showed a positive influence on population consumption in the neighboring territories. The model also confirmed previously identified relationships: the positive impact of average per capita income and the negative impact of the Gini index on consumption. The built model with fixed effects allowed to isolate the individual effects of the territories, visualized using cartogram. On the basis of these assessments, several groups of territories with common properties and characteristics have been identified.Unlike previously built models, the authors’ spatial error autoregression model, built on panel data, took into account both the geographical heterogeneity and spatial dependence of average per capita income and retail turnover, expanding the existing understanding of the relationship between consumption and income. This, in turn, enables management decisions that take into account previously undetected features and enhance their validity.

Published: May 2021

The article presents results of analysis of the predictive potential of short-term forecast estimates of employment level in the small business segment by four sectors of the Russian economy: manufacturing, construction, wholesale and retail trade.From the authors’ point of view, one of the promising sources of data for such estimates can be found in market observations of entrepreneurial activity, which now are a common source of economic information in national as well as international practice. These surveys play an important role in measuring the dynamics of employment in countries and industries, being a supplementary statistical tool.The objective of the work was to prove the existence of a stable statistically significant relationship between the predicted estimates of employment based on business (market) surveys and the dynamics of the corresponding statistical macro-aggregates in various sectors, and applicability of predictive models of employment change based on results of business (market) surveys.The novelty of the presented results (authors’ contribution) resides in the fact that for the first time, using an expanded sample (over 14 thousand respondents), were studied the possibilities of predicting labour market indicators in small businesses based on leading data from business surveys, examining separately retail trade, wholesale trade, construction, and manufacturing. According to the results obtained based on the Granger causality and pseudo-out-of-sample analysis, in all the industries under consideration, entrepreneurial assessments and expectations are effective predictive indicators for forecasting employment dynamics in the short term (two to four months) and identifying turning points in employment growth in the small business segment. The most sensitive predictive estimates were found in the retail and wholesale sectors, with the best results obtained for wholesale trade. For this reason, the authors recommend using the employment expectations indicator primarily in these sectors to monitor the level of employment and unemployment.

Back ground: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common cause of internal medical or surgical emergencies and often make the life-threatening risks to patients. The stratification of risk in triage the patients with UGIB is very critical for clinicians. PNED score is still a fairly new scale in Vietnam and currently no research that evaluated and compared it with the GB and AIMS65 scores in risk stratification of UGIB patients has been found. This study were aimed to (i) evaluate the accuracy, predictive value of the GB, AIMS65 and PNED scores and (ii) to compare the PNED score with the GB and AIMS65 scores in risk stratification of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding on admission to the Department of Gastroenterology at Cho Ray Hospital.

Subjects and Research Methods: A prospective cohort study investigating all patients presenting with UGIB on admission and treatment at the Department of Gastroenterology in Cho Ray Hospital from March 15th, 2019 to August 30th, 2019. We calculated PNED, GB, AIM65 scores and compared the area under the ROC curve (AUC) to determine the predicted value of the scores.

Results: One hundred and seventy-five patients were included. Median age of 59.51 ± 14.36, male/female ratio of 2.07/1, proportion of patients requiring blood transfusion intervention: 45.1%, hemostatic endoscopy: 30.3%, surgery: 0.57%, re-bleeding during hospitalization: 9.7%, overall mortality: 5.1%. About predicting required blood transfusion intervention of GB score was highest then PNED score and finally AIMS65 score with AUC respectively 67.1%; 63.1%; 56.4% (p<0.001). About predicting endoscopic intervention of PNED score was highest then GB score and finally AIMS65 score with AUC respectively 62.2%; 55.1%; 52.7%. About predicting required medical intervention of PNED score was highest then GB score and finally AIMS65 score with AUC respectively 69.7%; 66.2%; 56.3%. About predicting required re-bleeding of PNED score was highest then GB score score with AUC respectively 80.8%; 62.1%. AUC of AIMS65 score of 48.5% has no value in predicting re-bleeding. About predicting the risk of mortality of AIMS65 score was highest then GB score score and finally PNED score with AUC respectively 77.3%; 73.5%; 61.3%. The PNED score with a cut-off ≥ 6, has a positive predictive value is high for the overall medical intervention (76.81%) compared with GB score (68.33%) has cut-off ≥ 9 and AIMS65 score (61.33%) has cut-off ≥ 2.

Conclusion: The PNED score is superior to the GB and AIMS65 scores in predicting hemostatic interventions, general medical interventions and re-bleeding.

Authors: Le Hong Phuc , Tran Thiet Son , Tran Dang Khoa
Published: May 2021

Introduction: The research of the lateral femoral circumflex artery has been studied and applied in many clinical fields.

Objectives: To investigate branched anatomical features of the lateral femoral circumflex artery used in the construction of the composite anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap.

Patients and research methods: 60 thigh areas of 30 Vietnamese adult cadavers meeting the research standards were conducted cross-sectional descriptive analysis.

Result: lateral femoral circumflex artery usually has three branches that are ascending branch, oblique branch and descending branch. Descending branch usually separated independently (11.7%), oblique branch and ascending branch often have common body (83.3%). The majority of ascending branches have origin from lateral femoral circumflex (76.7%). Ascending branche has average of 4.1 branches to supply the anterior thigh muscles. Ascending branches has 2-3 cutaneous perforators were the majority (41.7%). There are 73 descending branch, 75.34% descending branch from the original branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery, 8.22% lateral femoral circumflex artery from femoral artery and 16.44% descending branch from deep femoral artery. Averaging descending branch has 8.9 ± 0.2 branches to muscles of anteriolateral thigh area and on average had 3.1 ± 0.3 perforators per thigh specimen. The number of branches to lateralis muscles was at most 7.9 ± 0.4 branhes.

Conclusion: Anatomical research of the lateral femoral circumflex artery branching as a premise to build a composite ALT flaps with lateralis component or with TFL makes sense in the creation of workhorse materials in clinical application.

Authors: Phan Thi Minh Phuong , Phan Thi Ni Na
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Autoimmune diseases are usually systemic. The autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome was defined as a failure of various endocrine glands caused by an autoimmune mechanism. Autoimmune diabetes (type 1 and LADA) is not exceptional, the long-lasting positivity of anti-GAD may increase the risk of developing thyroid autoimmune diseases. Aims: (1) To determine the concentration and the positivity rate of Thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAb) and TPO autoantibody (TPOAb) on non-obese diabetic patients. (2) To examine the relationship between thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAb) and TPO autoantibody (TPOAb) to the negative and positive anti GAD autoantibody status and some other factors. Subjects and methods: 85 serum samples of non-obese diabetic patients (BMI < 23) were used to measure the anti GAD autoantibody, anti Tg and anti TPO autoantibody by enzyme-linked immunoassay and electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, at the Hue university hospital. Results: The mean concentration of the TgAb and TPOAb were 1118.35 ± 1583.45 IU/ml and 85.85 ± 42.22 IU/ml, respectively. The positivity rate of the TgAb was 9.4% and the positive rate of the TPOAb was là 14.1%. There was a statistically significant difference in the positivity of the TPO antibody with the presence or absence of the GAD antibody, between the mean concentration of TPO antibody and diabetes detection time and HbA1C concentration between anti-Tg (+), anti-TPO (+) groups and anti-Tg (-), anti-TPO (-) groups. Conclusions: There was a correlation between anti-TPO positivity with non-obese diabetes patients with positive anti-GAD, between diabetes detection time with anti-TPO concentration. In patients with anti-Tg (+), anti-TPO (+), the HbA1C concentration was found higher than those with anti-Tg(-), anti-TPO(-).

Indications and techniques of mr urography
Authors: Le Trong Binh , Pham Thanh Bac , Tran Minh Chau , Le Trong Khoan
Published: May 2021

Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU) provides a comprehensive assessment of both morphology and function of the urinary system by using various sequences of T1W, T2W, 2D and 3D. T1W and T2W 2D images are optimal to evaluate the morphology of the kidneys and the urinary tract. Fast gradient echo 3D T1W sequence with the use of fat saturation technique (Fatsat or Dixon sequences), gadolinium administration, diuretic maneuver, and maximum intensity projection allows visualization of the urinary tract similar to that of conventional intravenous urography. MRU is also helpful in investigating renal function based on the hemodynamic study of contrast medium. Recent data prove that MRU, except for the study of renal calculi, is not inferior to computed tomographic urography (CTU) in evaluating diseases of the urinary system such as neoplasm, malformation and obstruction. MRU is an alternative to CTU when CTU is contraindicated. This article aims to review the techniques of MRU to optimize visualization of the urinary system and their indications in daily practice.

Published: May 2021

Background: Pancreatic cancer is a common disease of digestive cancers. The tumor progresses rapidly and malignantly, showed a low 5-year survival rate. However, when diagnosed and treated early, the 5-year survival rate of pancreatic cancer improves significantly. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has the advantage that probe can optimal access to the pancreas and surrounding organs, therefore, diagnose pancreatic tumors can be made even when the tumor is small (< 2 cm). Furthermore, Endoscopic Ultrasound- Guided Fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can determine the exact histology of the tumor.

Objectives: 1. Investigate some clinical, biological and endoscopic ultrasound characteristics in patients with pancreatic cancer. 2. Evaluate the relationship between endoscopic ultrasound images with clinical and biological characteristics and compare the results between endoscopic ultrasound with computer tomography.

Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional studies in 58 patients with pancreatic cancer had endoscopic ultrasound.

Results: In 58 patients with pancreatic cancer, we recorded that patients with a history of smoking accounted for 32.8%, and drinking alcohol 31%. Abdominal pain was 89.7%, 44.8% of patients show anorexia, 37.9% have weight loss. 69% of patients had CA 19-9 > 37 UI/ml. EUS found a patient with pancreatic tumor < 2 cm, but CT scan could not detect. Tumors in pancreatic head accounted for 60.3%; in the body 24.1%, 96.6% of pancreatic cancer have a hypoechoic structure, heterogeneous ultrasound. There was a significant relation between pancreatic head tumor and other part with jaundice (p = 0.013). Compatibility in diagnosis of vascular invasion between EUS and CT scan was average (K = 0.483).

Conclusion: Smoking and alcohol consumption accounted for the highest proportion, abdominal pain was the most common clinical symptom. Endoscopic ultrasound can diagnose small pancreatic tumors that CT scan can not detect.

Photonic crystal (PC) barcodes are a new type of spectrum-encoding microcarriers used in multiplex high-throughput bioassays, such as broad analysis of biomarkers for clinical diagnosis, gene expression, and cell culture. Unfortunately, most of these existing PC barcodes suffered from undesired features, including difficult spectrum-signal acquisition, weak mechanical strength, and high ontology fluorescence, which limited their development to real applications. To address these limitations, we report a new type of structural color-encoded PC barcodes. The barcodes are fabricated by the assembly of monodisperse polydopamine- (PDA-) coated silica (PDA@SiO

) nanoparticles using a droplet-based microfluidic technique and followed by pyrolysis of PDA@SiO

(C@SiO

) barcodes. Because of the templated carbonization of adhesive PDA, the prepared C@SiO

PC beads were endowed with simultaneous easy-to-identify structural color, high mechanical strength, and ultralow ontology fluorescence. We demonstrated that the structural colored C@SiO
2
barcodes not only maintained a high structural stability and good biocompatibility during the coculturing with fibroblasts and tumor cells capture but also achieved an enhanced fluorescent-reading signal-to-noise ratio in the fluorescence-reading detection. These features make the C@SiO

PC barcodes versatile for expansive application in fluorescence-reading-based multibioassays.

In this paper the strength behavior of Bacillus Bacteria and strengthening characteristic of GFRP sheets are investigated. In this study the optimum percentage of Bacillus Bacteria is find out from the compressive strength test. The cubes are casted based on the percentage replacement of Bacillus Bacteria in cement. The replacement of Bacillus Bacteria in cement is 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% 40%, 50%. Totally 18 cubes are casted out of this 3 cubes for each percentage. After 28 days the compressive strength was find out from the cubes. From the compressive strength test the optimum percentage of Bacillus Bacteria is concluded as 20%. Based on these result columns are casted. Totally 12 columns are casted out of these columns 6 columns are conventional and 6 columns are Bacillus Bacteria replace columns. The axial compressive strength test was carried on 3 conventional and 3 Bacillus Bacteria replaced column to find out the ultimate load carrying capacity. From this ultimate load 70% of load is given to the remaining columns as a preloading. After given the preloading these columns are strengthened by using GFRP sheets. The strengthened columns are tested under axial compression test. From this result the ultimate load carrying capacity, deflection, stiffness, and energy absorption of column is calculated.

Authors: G C Chithrashree , M S Kumar , A C Sharada
Published: May 2021

The silkworm, Bombyx mori, which feeds solely on the leaves of the mulberry plant, produces mulberry silk. The components of Bombyx mori silk are 60-80 percent fibroin, 15-35 percent sericin and 1-5 percent non-sericin, including wax, pigments, sugars and other impurities. Silk sericin is a natural polymer that encloses and holds together two filaments of fibroin in the silk thread used in the cocoon. In the research and production of medical biomaterials and biomedicines, protein-based silk fibroin has been widely used for two decades. Sericin is often neglected and abandoned in the manufacturing of traditional silk fabrics, silk floss or synthetic silk biomaterials as a by-product or waste. However, sericin is not only a highly useful biological substance, but also has a great deal of biological activity, similar to fibroin. General characteristics of both silk proteins, fibroin and sericin, extracted from Bombyx mori silkworm, and the biological activity and possible use of sericin were addressed in this review. Due to its amino acid make-up and antioxidant properties, sericin has been used in the food and cosmetic industry. The moisturizing power provides guidance for wound healing as a therapeutic agent, protection against ultraviolet radiation, and formulation of creams and shampoos. Antioxidant activity associated with low sericin digestibility, which increases application in the medical field, such as antitumor, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent, anticoagulant, works in the health of the colon, enhances constipation and, by improving plasma lipid profile, protects the body from obesity. In addition, the properties of sericin allow its application in tissue engineering and drug delivery as a culture medium and cryopreservation, demonstrating its efficient use as an essential biomaterial.

Published: May 2021

Regular physical activity, along with a balanced diet, formsan important factor for the maintenance of good health. However, strenuousexerciseincreases the production of free radicals (FR) and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), leads to toxicity, resulting in chronic fatigue, injuries. The overproduction of RONS is involved in muscular fatigue, many diseases, and aging. However, FRs are essential for the functioning of the immune system and certain metabolic functions.The increase in oxidants compared to antioxidant leads to oxidative stress. Nowadays, antioxidants are supplemented to reduce muscle damage incurred during exercise, which has drawn the attention of the athletic population. L- Carnitine being ergogenic, acts as an antioxidant during recovery from exercise, thereby attenuate oxidative stress, which may then decrease exercise-induced muscle damage. Despite increasing research on antioxidant properties for carnitine in several pathologies such as diabetes, hypertension, renal, neurodegenerative conditions, and liver disease, less has been documented on it against oxidative stress induced by exercise. This review may help researchers who are interested in athletic performance enhancement and sports nutrition.

All individual living beings on the earth are exposed continuously to the radiations coming from terrestrial and extraterrestrial sources and also from their own bodies. The indoor and outdoor ambient gamma radiations are measured in and around Nuggihalli- Holenarasipura schist belts of Hassan district in Karnataka state. The measurements are carried out using the environment radiation dosimeter UR 705 which is a portable detector. Absorbed dose rate and annual effective dose rate are estimated by measuring the exposure rate. The total annual effective dose calculated from both indoor and outdoor varies from 0.68 to1.62 mSv.y-1 with an average value of 1.16 mSv.y-1. The calculated indoor and outdoor annual effective doses are found to be higher than the world average.

Authors: B S Divya
Published: May 2021

Arthashstra, a great epic of political economy written in the 4th century is a fantabulous work even today the relevance of that book cannot be ignored. He must be given a prominent place among well known economists. Unlike Adam smith and other western economists Koutilya did not become famous and called as economist of modern world. Though his thoughts and ideologies are equally important with the ideologies of western economists and today many universities in India have also forgotten to include his book in the curriculum.

The present study has used the following methodology

• Type of research : both descriptive and analytical

• Type of research : both descriptive and analytical

• Sample size          : 70

• Study area          : Mysore

 • Data                    : This study is based on both primary and  secondary data. For analysis purpose primary data has been used.  Both interview and questionnaire methods have been used.

• Sampling technique : Convenient sampling method

• analytical tools          : Five point Likert method, frequency  method, Tables and graphs

This paper has made an attempt to understand the relevance of the neglected economist of ancient India i.e. Kautilya of the fourth century B.C and it has also made a primary investigation by collecting information from the respondents from different areas of Mysore and Bengaluru cities of Karnataka about the familiarity of Koutilya and his economic ideas. This will surely pave the way for conducting empirical research in future.
