Authors: Herdianto Hengky , Aizawa Tatsuhiko , Wasa Kenji , Santjojo Dionysius Joseph Djoko Herry , Sakti Setyawan Purnomo
Published: June 2019

The plasma printing was used to make precise micro-texturing into the stainless steels to have complex textured geometry. First in this plasma printing, the original two dimensional micro-patterns were drawn onto the substrate surface by the maskless patterning with use of the nano-carbon ink. These micro-patterned specimens were further plasma-nitrided at 673 K for 5.4 ks by 70 Pa with use of the hollow cathode device. The unprinted surface areas were selectively nitrided to have high nitrogen solute contents up to 12 mass%. The masked area just corresponded to the carbon-mapping from the printed nano-carbon inks, while the unprinted surface, to the nitrogen mapping. The hardness profile had stepwise change across the borders between these printed and unprinted areas; e.g., the hardness on the unprinted surface was 1200 Hv while it remained to be 350 Hv on the printed surface. This selective nitriding accompanied with the selective hardening. This selective nitriding enabled us to construct the three dimensionally textured miniature dies and products by chemical etching of the printed area.

The writing of this article aims to determine the effect of implementing Total Quality Management on its human resources. The discussion in this article refers to and is based on the opinions of existing expert experts. Total Quality Management is one approach that can be done to improve the quality of resources, both human resources, natural resources and other resources. The application of the Total Quality Management approach greatly influences the theoretical abilities of employees, technical, conceptual, moral, and technical skills of human resources themselves. From some research results it can be said that the application of Total Quality Management is very influential on improving the quality of human resources. And if it is associated with the world of education, the implementation of Total Quality Management can support learning by paying attention to three important aspects, namely the formulation of quality improvement objectives, the application of principles and Total Quality Management supporting components.

Beer? Over here! Examining attentional bias towards alcoholic and appetitive stimuli in a visual search eye-tracking task
Authors: Pennington Charlotte Rebecca , Qureshi Adam , Monk Rebecca , Heim Derek
Published: June 2019

Rationale: Experimental tasks that demonstrate alcohol-related attentional bias typically expose participants to single-stimulus targets (e.g., addiction stroop, visual probe, anti-saccade task), which may not correspond fully with real-world contexts where alcoholic and non-alcoholic cues simultaneously compete for attention. Moreover, alcoholic stimuli are rarely matched to other appetitive non-alcoholic stimuli. Objectives: To address these limitations by utilising a conjunction search eye-tracking task and matched stimuli to examine alcohol-related attentional bias. Methods: Thirty social drinkers (Mage = 19.87, SD = 1.74) were asked to detect whether alcoholic (beer), non-alcoholic (water) or non-appetitive (detergent) targets were present or absent amongst a visual array of matching and non-matching distractors. Both behavioural response times and eye-movement dwell time were measured. Results: Social drinkers were significantly quicker to detect alcoholic and non-alcoholic appetitive targets relative to non-appetitive targets in an array of matching and mismatching distractors. Similarly, proportional dwell time was lower for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic appetitive distractors relative to non-appetitive distractors, suggesting that appetitive targets were relatively easier to detect. Conclusions: Social drinkers may exhibit generalised attentional bias towards alcoholic and non-alcoholic appetitive cues. This adds to emergent research suggesting that the mechanisms driving these individual’s attention towards alcoholic cues might ‘spill over’ to other appetitive cues, possibly due to associative learning.
Retracted papers clinging on to life: An observational study of post-retraction citations in psychology
Authors: Morís Fernández Luis , Hardwicke Tom Elis , Vadillo Miguel A.
Published: June 2019

Self-correction is assumed to be a defining feature of science. However, science’s ability to correct itself is far from optimal as shown, for instance, by the persistent influence of papers that have been retracted. In this study, we investigated citation patterns for 140 papers retracted in psychology due to data fabrication, scientific misconduct, or error, according to the Retraction Watch Database. After retraction, 88 (63%) of these papers received at least one positive citation (median = 2, interquartile range = 4, min = 0, max = 89 positive citations). These results demonstrate the enduring influence of erroneous or flawed data, even when they have been formally declared as invalid. To ameliorate this problem, we propose several procedures and tools that may enhance the discoverability of retracted papers, including standardization of publisher retraction notices and meta-data, issuance of retraction notices within researchers’ reference management software, and automated pre-publication screening for citations to retracted papers.

Published: June 2019

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an efficacious treatment for child anxiety disorders, but 40-50% of youth do not respond fully to treatment, and time commitments for standard CBT can be prohibitive for some families and lead to long waiting lists for trained CBT therapists in the community. SmartCAT 2.0 is an adjunctive mobile health program designed to improve and shorten CBT treatment for anxiety disorders in youth by providing them with the opportunity to practice CBT skills outside of session using an interactive and gamified interface. It consists of an app and an integrated clinician portal connected to the app for secure 2-way communication with the therapist. The goal of the present study was to evaluate SmartCAT 2.0 in an open trial to establish usability, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of brief (8 sessions) CBT combined with SmartCAT. We also explored changes in CBT skills targeted by the app. Participants were 34 youth (ages 9-14) who met DSM-5 criteria for generalized, separation, and/or social anxiety disorder. Results demonstrated strong feasibility and usability of the app/portal and high satisfaction with the intervention. Youth used the app an average of 12 times between each therapy session (M = 5.8 mins per day). At post-treatment, 67% of youth no longer met diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder, with this percentage increasing to 86% at two-month follow-up. Youth showed reduced symptom severity over time across raters and also improved from pre- to post-treatment in CBT skills targeted by the app, demonstrating better emotion identification and thought challenging and reductions in avoidance. Findings support the feasibility of combining brief CBT with SmartCAT. Although not a controlled trial, when benchmarked against the literature, the current findings suggest that SmartCAT may enhance the utility of brief CBT for childhood anxiety disorders. This paper is currently in press in Behavior Therapy.

Authors: Mehalaine S. , Belfadel O. , Menasria T. , Messaili A.
Published: June 2019

The present study was carried out to determine, for the first time, the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of essential oils derived from the aerial parts of three aromatic plants Thymus algeriensis Boiss & Reut, Rosmarinus officinalis L., and Salvia officinalis L. growing under semiarid conditions. The essential oils were chemically analyzed and identified by gas chromatography (GC) and GC/ mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and their antimicrobial activity was individually evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using both agar disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. The major constituents of Thymus algeriensis essential oil were identified as camphor (13.62%), 1,8-cineol (6.00%), borneol (5.74%), viridiflorol (4.00%), and linalool (3.93%). For Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil, 48 compounds were characterized, of which the main constituents were camphor (17.09%), Z-β-ocimene (10.88%), isoborneol (9.68%), α-bisabolol (7.89%), and borneol (5.11%). While, Salvia officinalis essential oil was characterized by β-thujone (16.44%), followed by viridiflorol (10.93%), camphor (8.99%), 1,8-cineol (8.11%), trans-caryophyllene (5.85%), and α-humulene (4.69%) as the major components. Notably, results from antibacterial screening indicated that Thymus algeriensis and Salvia officinalis essential oils exhibited a strong inhibitory effect against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared to Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil. Further, less activity was recorded against Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the three tested essential oils.

Published: June 2019

Cette étude est une contribution à la valorisation de la fraction aromatique de la lavande papillon (Lavandula stoechas L.) en aromathérapie anti-infectieuse et comme ingrédient actif dans la conservation des denrées alimentaires. L’huile essentielle (HE), analysée par chromatographie gazeuse–spectrométrie de masse, a révélé la présence du fenchone (39,2 %) comme composé majoritaire, suivi par le camphre (18 %) et le 1,8-cinéole (17,6 %). Les autres composés sont présents, avec un taux inférieur à 3 %. L’étude de l’activité antimicrobienne de l’HE a été accomplie par deux méthodes (aromatogramme et microatmosphère), sur un large spectre de germes microbiens (15 souches bactériennes et quatre souches fongiques). L’HE a présenté une activité antibactériennemajeure sur les souches de Staphylococcus aureus avec une inhibition totale (90 mm) en aromatogramme pour la dose de 60 μl par disque. En microatmosphère, l’HE s’est avéré aussi un puissant fongicide, car la majorité des souches testées ont été inhibées totalement. De plus, une action sur la majorité des bactéries à Gram+ a été notée. Dans une matrice alimentaire (jus de fruit Orangina®), les résultats de l’activité antifongique indiquent que l’HE a une importante capacité inhibitrice sur la croissance fongique (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) en comparaison avec les conservateurs de synthèse. Son usage comme conservateur alimentaire naturel paraît pleinement justifié.

Eşcinsellere yönelik tutumlar üzerine yapılan çalışmalar Türkiye'de üniversite öğrencileri ve çeşitli
meslek grupları arasında cinsel azınlıklara yönelik genellikle olumsuz tutumların yaygın olduğunu
göstermektedir. Ruh sağlığı çalışanlarının tutumlarını inceleyen çalışma sayısı ise oldukça azdır. Bu
araştırma Türkiye'de hizmet veren psikolog ve psikolojik danışmanların gey ve lezbiyenlere yönelik
tutumlarını ve bu tutumları yordayan değişkenleri ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla
katılımcılardan demografik ve mesleki bilgi formlarının yanı sıra eşcinsellere yönelik tutumları ve
sosyal arzu edilirlik düzeylerini ölçen ölçekleri doldurmaları istenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre,
katılımcıların eşcinsellere yönelik genel olarak olumlu tutumlara sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca,
cinsiyet, medeni durum ve eğitim düzeyine göre kişilerin tutumları arasında fark bulunmamıştır.
Tutumları yordayan değişkenlere bakıldığında, yaş ve dindarlık seviyesi arttıkça eşcinselliğe yönelik
olumsuz tutumların da arttığı bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar geçmiş çalışmalar ışığında tartışılmış ve cinsel
azınlıklarla çalışırken göz önünde bulundurulması gereken bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
Gelecekteki çalışmaların tutumları ölçerken örtük ölçümlerden de yararlanmaları ve demografik
değişkenlerin dağılımı açısından daha kapsayıcı örneklemler kullanmaları önerilmektedir.

Vor einem Jahr verstarb der Politikwissenschaftler Elmar Altvater, dessen Arbeiten sich datm bemühnten, die marxistische Diskussion über die oftmals sterilen Analysen hinaus mit den aktuellen Fragen der Linken und der neu sich bildenden sozialen Bewegungen zu verbinden, den Marxismus zu erneuern, ihn für ökologische Fragen zu öffnen und damit strategisch Umwelt- und Arbeiterbewegung zusammenzubringen, gleichzeitig aber auch dazu beizutragen, dass die ökologische Kritik nicht romantizistisch früheren Stufen der zivilisatorischen Entwicklung nachhing. Die marxsche Theorie betrachtete er als eine Art Bauhütte. Wenn an ihr nicht weitergearbeitet würde, dann wäre sie vom Verfall bedroht. Genau das tat er, er trug zur Fortentwicklung dieser Theorie auf ganz verschiedenen Gebieten bei. Auf engste damit verbunden sind sein streitbares Engagement in Zeitschriften, vor allem der PROKLA.

Role of diet-related factors in cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture
Authors: Czekajło Anna
Published: June 2019

Cerebral aneurysms (CAs) are dilations of the wall of an artery in the brain filled with blood. The prevalence of unrupted CA in general population is estimated at approximately 3%. Ruptured aneurysms are the cause of 85% of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) cases. The formation of cerebral aneurysms results from various factors, including chronic inflammation, hemodynamic stress and vascular wall remodeling. Reactive oxygen species may induce the endothelial dysfunction possibly through the activation of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B, which is a key regulator of the proinflammatory genes. Hypertension may additionally increase the hemodynamic stress and activate the local renin-angiotensin system.
The aim of this review was to assess the role of selected diet-related factors in the formation and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. It appears that inadequate intake of dietary antioxidants, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension (including incidental elevated blood pressure) and alcohol consumption may increase the risk of intracranial aneurysms. Individuals at high risk of CA formation and/or rupture should consume adequate amounts of antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids), B vitamins (vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate), flavonoids and n-3 fatty acids, limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and regularly control their blood pressure. Vegetables, fruits, grains, pulses, nuts and fish, as well as herbs, spices and tea, should be the major components of the daily diet. Due to the synergistic effect of various dietary components on health, Mediterranean diet or Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, as they meet abovementioned requirements and have high anti-inflammatory potential, are thus recommended for the prevention of cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture.
Comparison of the prevalence of body mass disorders in 7-year-old children living in rural and urban areas of Lower Silesia in Poland
Authors: Czajka Kamila
Published: June 2019

Background. Body height and weight are somatic qualities largely determined by genetic factors. These qualities are also modified by the factors of external environment which have a higher impact on body mass rather than height.
Objective. The aim of the research was to identify the prevalence of disorders related to body mass / height ratio in children residing in areas of diverse population numbers. A reconnaissance of cross-environmental diversification of the BMI value was also conducted.
Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 593 healthy children (314 boys; 279 girls) aged 7 from large city (Wrocław), small city (Polkowice) and rural environment (villages in the Lower Silesia) in Poland. Body height and weight were measured using standard procedures and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Children’s BMI categories were defined using IOTF cutoff points. Statistical analysis was carried out using ANOVA. Differences were considered significant at p < 0.05.
Results. The data analysis showed a general lack of significant cross-environmental and cross-gender differences in mean values of BMI among the studies girls and boys. Prevalence of children with abnormal body mass residing in areas of diverse degree of urbanisation varies from 20% to 28%. Prevalence of underweight in 7-year-old children is intensified particularly in urban environment where it occurs in a degree comparable to overweight (9.4% vs 10.7%).
Conclusions. The observed not significant differences in BMI means in the 7-year-old children, indicate the disappearing of disproportions in basic somatic parameters between children from environments of different urbanisation degree. Underweight is found in 6%-12% children, which is particularly intensified in urban environment where it occurs with prevalence comparable to the phenomenon of overweight. This suggests the need to introduce intervention measures aimed at increasing the consciousness of parents in terms of effects of malnutrition in the contexts of health risks for a developing child.

Published: June 2019

Background. In recent years, the subject literature has provided concrete recommendations concerning health with regard to specific parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate appropriate physical activity standards for proper development at various stages of human ontogenesis.
Objective. The aim of the work was knowledge of the level of physical activity of high school youth in the Visegrad countries, including gender indications, to demonstrate whether the WHO recommendations are fulfilled.
Material and methods. The research was conducted in students from four Visegrad countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As the research method, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire − IPAQ in the extended version was used.
Results. Boys seem to do much better and have largely fulfilled the WHO recommendation for high-intensity efforts performed 3 times for 20 minutes, and medium and high efforts − 7 times for 60 minutes, which is particularly crucial for the effectiveness of the level of physical activity.
Conclusions. It is indispensable to continue monitoring the physical activity of young people using modern research techniques. It seems intentional to intensify promotion and educational activities, which should be aimed at motivating young people to undertake physical activity in accordance with world-wide recommendations.
Tick exposure and prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies among hunters and other individuals exposed to vector ticks in eastern Poland
Authors: Pańczuk Anna , Tokarska-Rodak Małgorzata , Plewik Dorota , Paszkiewicz Justyna
Published: June 2019

Background. Lyme borreliosis is the most frequent tick-borne disease in Europe and North America, and the number of registered cases is on the increase. Frequent presence in the habitats of ticks enhances the risk of tick bites and possible infection with Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes.
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the risk of B. burgdorferi infection posed to hunters and other individuals exposed to activity-related contact with ticks.
Material and methods. The study was carried out in the northern part of the Lublin Province (eastern Poland) and involved 150 individuals exposed to tick bites (110 hunters and 40 individuals exposed to activity-related contact with ticks). The analysis of sera for the presence of B. burgdorferi IgM and IgG antibodies was carried out. All 150 individuals were tested with the ELISA assay, and positive and borderline results of the assay were verified with the Western blot test. All study participants completed a questionnaire, which provided information about exposure to ticks, application of prophylactic measures, and awareness of Lyme borreliosis.
Results. The ELISA assay revealed a positive or borderline result in at least one of the classes of B. burgdorferi antibodies in 63.3% (95/150) of the individuals (IgM 14.0%, IgG 63.3%). Verification carried out with the Western blot test showed a positive or borderline result in at least one of the antibody classes in 38.0% (57/150) of the examined persons (IgM 2.7%, IgG 36.7%).
Abdomen (56.0%) and legs (53.7%) were the most frequently bitten body regions. Tick bites on the abdomen were significantly more frequently declared by hunters. Inspection of the body after returning from natural areas was more popular prophylactic method than use of repellents. Inspection of the body was significantly more often used in the group of the hunters.
Conclusions. The risk of B. burgdorferi infection among hunters and other individuals undertaking activities associated with exposure to tick bites in the study area is high.
The influence of diet on gastrointestinal Candida spp. colonization and the susceptibility of Candida spp. to antifungal drugs
Authors: Jeziorek Małgorzata , Frej-Mądrzak Magdalena , Choroszy-Król Irena
Published: June 2019

Background. Candida spp. has been identified as the most common member of human gut microbiota. This yeast-like fungus is recognized as an opportunistic organism due to its potential to cause diseases in all parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
Objective. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between diet and health of the study participants and the presence of gastrointestinal Candida spp. Susceptibility of Candida to antifungal drugs was determined.
Material and methods. Material comprised of oral swabs and fecal samples self-collected by the study participants. The participants filled in a nutritional questionnaire. A total of 30 people took part in the study, including 28 women and 2 men. The study was conducted in Wroclaw, Poland. Susceptibility of Candida to antifungal drugs was determined using Bio-Rad’s FUNGITEST™ Kit designed for the susceptibility testing of yeasts to six antifungal drugs.
Results. In the group with negative Candida spp. cultures, healthier wheat flour substitutes were consumed significantly more frequently than in the group with positive Candida spp. cultures. Yellow cheeses and quark were eaten significantly more frequently in the group with negative Candida spp. cultures. No antifungal resistance was detected in the study group.
Conclusions. The increased consumption of purified wheat flour products was linked to the presence of gastrointestinal Candida spp. A higher consumption of cheese was observed in the group with negative Candida spp. cultures, which may indicate the inhibitory effect of saturated fatty acids on the growth of human Candida spp. Sensitivity of C. albicans to antifungal drugs may increase effectiveness of candidiasis treatment.

Published: June 2019

Background. Due to specific requirements of service, Border Guard officers should be characterized by good health. Whereas there is lack of studies assessing nutritional status as well as dietary behaviours among Polish Border Guard officers.
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of dietary behaviours of the Polish Border Guard officers on the Fat Mass Index.
Material and methods. The study was carried out with participation of 250 Border Guard officers (187 men and 63 women), aged 37±6; years of service: 12±6. Nutritional status was determined with the electrical bioimpedance method using the TANITA MC-780 analyzer. According to the calculated Fat Mass Index value each person was qualified to one of the following groups: fat deficit, normal fat or excess fat. The Border Guard officers were asked to fill in the original questionnaire containing questions about nutritional behaviours in line with the recommendations of the Swiss Food Pyramid for Athletes in the basic version.
Results. The excessive amount of fat in every third officer of the Border Guard and numerous irregularities in eating behaviours were found. According to the food pyramid the smallest scale of rational dietary choices (especially regularity of meals, fruit and vegetable consumption) was characteristic of officers with excess fat. In addition, officers from the excess fat group obtained, on average, a lower sum of points for compliance of nutritional behaviours with the recommendations of the Swiss Food Pyramid than those from other groups (49% vs. 59% and 56%, p=0.002).
Conclusions. There is a need for nutritional education and further monitoring of both the nutritional status and dietary behaviours of Border Guard officers.

Authors: Canta Laurice Ann B. , Dizon Alfred Peter Justine E. , Abes Franco Louie L.B.
Published: June 2019

Objective: The aim of this report is to describe an aggressive case of tuberculous otitis media in a young child and emphasize that surgical intervention and histopathologic studies can be employed to immediately arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Methods:

         Design: Case Report

         Setting:            Tertiary Government Training Hospital

          Participants:      One 

Results: This is a case of a four-year-old boy who had refractory otitis media and erosive CT scan findings, mimicking aggressive CSOM manifestations. Due to unusual intraoperative granulation tissue characteristics, it was initially considered a malignancy, necessitating surgical intervention and biopsy that resulted in a definitive diagnosis of primary middle ear tuberculosis.

Conclusion: This case represents the more severe end of the spectrum of tuberculous otitis media and supports the recommendation that a high index of suspicion, early detection, and prompt initiation of treatment are imperative in its management, especially in children with refractory otitis media.

Published: June 2019

Since 1980, in the post-smallpox vaccination era the human population has become increasingly susceptible compared to a generation ago to not only the variola (smallpox) virus, but also other zoonotic orthopoxviruses. The need for safer vaccines against orthopoxviruses is even greater now. The Lister vaccine strain (LIVP) of vaccinia virus was used as a parental virus for generating a recombinant 1421ABJCN clone defective in five virulence genes encoding hemagglutinin (A56R), the IFN--binding protein (B8R), thymidine kinase (J2R), the complement-binding protein (C3L), and the Bcl-2-like inhibitor of apoptosis (N1L). We found that disruption of these loci does not affect replication in mammalian cell cultures. The isogenic recombinant strain 1421ABJCN exhibits a reduced inflammatory response and attenuated neurovirulence relative to LIVP. Virus titers of 1421ABJCN were 3 lg lower versus the parent VACV LIVP when administered by the intracerebral route in new-born mice. In a subcutaneous mouse model, 1421ABJCN displayed levels of VACV-neutralizing antibodies comparable to those of LIVP and conferred protective immunity against lethal challenge by the ectromelia virus. The VACV mutant holds promise as a safe live vaccine strain for preventing smallpox and other orthopoxvirus infections.

               Implikasinya keputusan Mahkamah Konstitusi harus diminimalisir sehingga tidak ada peluang bagi mereka yang kalah dalam Pemilihan Umum dan Pemilihan Presiden untuk menggugat hasil pemilu karena Pemilu 2014 masih dianggap ilegal. Pertama, putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi ini akan berimplikasi pada lahirnya gerakan nasional yang menolak hasil Pemilu 2014 dari elit politik parpol peserta Pemilu 2014 yang gagal dalam kompetisi pemilu ini, karena merasa bahwa UU No. 42/2008 telah dinyatakan bertentangan dengan UUD 1945 dan tidak mengikat secara hukum, tetapi kenyataannya masih digunakan sebagai dasar untuk pemilihan presiden 2014 mendatang. Kedua, keputusan Mahkamah Konstitusi akan berimplikasi pada perlunya DPR dan pemerintah untuk segera menyiapkan berbagai produk rancangan undang-undang tentang pemilu serentak untuk Pemilu 2019 karena pemilihan serentak membutuhkan peraturan pemilihan legislatif dan pemilihan presiden yang dikodifikasi. Lebih dari sinkronisasi, harmonisasi dan korespondensi antara dua UU ini dan undang-undang organik lainnya yang mengatur bidang politik, yaitu UU Partai Politik, UU Pemilu, UU MPR, DPR, DPD dan DPRD dan UU Pemerintahan Daerah. Dengan demikian, putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi akan menghasilkan pelebaran berbagai revisi undang-undang lainnya. Ketiga, implikasi putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi ini juga akan memicu kebutuhan pemilihan daerah secara serentak di seluruh Indonesia. Karena sistem pemilihan eksekutif nasional dan legislatif harus selaras dengan model eksekutif dan pemilihan legislatif lokal.

               Keempat, implikasi putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi ini juga akan mendorong peningkatan kinerja hakim Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) karena pilkada digelar serentak, baik secara nasional maupun lokal. Akibatnya, sengketa hasil pemilu yang diajukan ke Mahkamah Konstitusi harus meningkat 100%. Kelima, implikasi dari keputusan ini adalah kebutuhan untuk meninjau kembali masa kerja Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU) dan Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu) di semua level. Konsekuensinya adalah bahwa kerja KPU dan Bawaslu menjadi ringan dan periode kerja lima tahun menjadi terlalu panjang.
