Implementation of Extraordinary Review (Pk) For the Public Prosecutors after the Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 33/Puu-Xiv/2016
Authors:   Postgraduate student of Master of Law UPN “Veteran” Jakarta., Andra Rahmadianto
Published: June 2021

The background of this paper is inspired and triggered to observe and study the legal uncertainty between the public prosecutor and the convict/his heirs regarding the authority to submit a PK Application as regulated in Article 263 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The article states "the right of the public prosecutor" to apply for a PK application. However, what is expected by the Petitioner's wife is that Article 263 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code can be interpreted in this way, "PK applications can only be filed by the convicted person or their heirs". This condition was exacerbated by the issuance of the Constitutional Court decision Number 33/PUU-XIV/ 2016 regarding "the right of the public prosecutor to file a PK application in a criminal case". This study aims to determine the application of extraordinary legal remedies by the public prosecutor and the implications of implementing these extraordinary remedies. The research method used is normative legal research. The results showed the application of extraordinary PK legal remedies for the public prosecutor after the Constitutional Court decision Number 33/PUU-XIV/2016, had direct implications for the Petitioner and his family. This implication is detrimental to the Petitioners' constitutional rights based on Article 28G of the 1945 Constitution because the protection of personal, family, honor and dignity has clearly been lost. It is better if the Constitutional Court reaffirms the legal principles in the article through constitutional interpretation which is an integral part that is not separate from the article in question and is able to provide fair legal certainty.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

This study compares the price predictions of the Vanguard real estate exchange-traded fund (ETF) (VNQ) using the back propagation neural network (BPNN) and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models. The input variables for BPNN include the past 3-day closing prices, daily trading volume, MA5, MA20, the S&P 500 index, the United States (US) dollar index, volatility index, 5-year treasury yields, and 10-year treasury yields. In addition, variable reduction is based on multiple linear regression (MLR). Mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) are used to measure the prediction error between the actual closing price and the models’ forecasted price. The training set covers the period between January 1, 2015 and March 31, 2020, and the forecasting set covers the period from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. The empirical results reveal that the BPNN model’s predictive ability is superior to the ARIMA model’s. The predictive accuracy of BPNN with one hidden layer is better than with two hidden layers. Our findings provide crucial market factors as input variables for BPNN that might inspire investors in VNQ markets.

Retenciones legales en ejecución de sentencia
Authors: Núñez Paz Sandro
Published: June 2021

En esta investigación abordaremos la controversia que surge cuando un órgano judicial ordena en ejecución de sentencia el cumplimiento de obligaciones de dar suma de dinero respecto de conceptos laborales, tras lo cual las empresas -en su calidad de agentes retenedores- proceden a retener los montos que corresponden al pago del impuesto a la renta y conceptos previsionales; aun cuando ello no haya sido materia del pronunciamiento judicial o pretensión discutida en juicio.

Así, existe controversia respecto a si, efectivamente, este proceder de las empresas es correcto o se contraviene el principio de la cosa juzgada.
El repartidor y una app de delivery
Authors: Torres Cadillo Rosa Isabel
Published: June 2021

La aparición de las plataformas digitales trajo consigo cambios sustanciales en la economía mundial, y con ellos un reto jurídico ante las nuevas modalidades de trabajo atípicas, donde los empleadores no son los tradicionales empleadores, sino aplicativos como Uber, Glovo, Cabify, Rapi, etc. Al respecto, en nuestro país, se produjeron varios proyectos de ley que buscaban regular el vínculo entre el servicio prestado y la plataforma digital, bajo la figura de una relación laboral. Empero, son los dueños de estos sitios digitales quienes rechazan su condición de empleadores, definiéndose como intermediarios entre los proveedores de servicios y sus clientes, con el propósito de evadir los derechos laborales. Ante ello, surge la pregunta: «¿Un repartidor de Rappi o Glovo es trabajador de la empresa?». Nosotros consideramos que sí lo es, al contar con subordinación y remuneración.
A study of the population attitude towards rational use of antibiotics
Authors: Petravičienė Zita , Bartašiūnienė Vida , Židonienė Eligija
Published: June 2021

The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern about the threat posed by bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Irresponsible consumption affects the entire ecosystem. Nowadays this has become a problem as their overuse has reached a level where resistance is growing and spreading and new drugs are lacking to meet this challenge [1]. It is not only doctors who have to take responsibility for their unnecessary use, but also each of us – not to engage in self-medication. Alexander Fleming, a British scientist and professor of bacteriology who was the first to discover the antibiotic penicillin, is very important in the history of antibiotics. Until then, doctors did not have effective means to treat infections like gonorrhea, rheumatism, pneumonia. With the discovery of penicillin, the era of antibacterial drugs began. Concerns expressed a few years ago that society may remain unarmed against infections, as before the discovery of antibiotics, are becoming a real threat [2]. The word "rational" is derived from the Latin word rationalis and means reasonable, thoughtful, purposeful, intelligent, clearly understood, based on new scientific methods [3]. The issue of rational use of medicines was first raised at an international conference of the World Health Organization in 1985 in Nairobi. The principles of rational use of medicines say that the patient must receive high-quality, safe and effective medicines when he needs them, taking into account his clinical characteristics, by individual doses, for the appropriate period, at appropriate intervals, only for a certain time, at an affordable price, with the right information [4]. The majority of the participants of the study stated that antibiotics kill bacteria and less than half - that it kills viruses. The study showed that less than half of the population treats themselves without consulting a doctor.

The aim of the study is to reveal the attitude of the population towards the rational use of antibiotics.

Effect of the reaction of ammonia gas on the swelling of metallic iron and its oxides during nitriding processes
Authors: Dam G. Oscar , Azocar Luis
Published: June 2021

In order to study the relationship and effect of nitrogen gas in the reducing gases used in the reducibility tests of iron oxides, under isothermal conditions, a test scheme was executed using ammonia gas, such that its decomposition of the gas in the reactor produced a mixture of H2 and N2 gases. Furthermore, the addition of 6% NH3 in a 28% H2 and 68% N2 gas stream was planned to obtain a gas composition of 70% N2 and 30% H2. This would allow comparing the reducibility curves between both conditions, assuming that the possible difference between both conditions to compare the volume changes of the reduced samples. The difference to be studied will be based on the estimation and comparison of the rate of formation of metallic iron in the stages of reduction of Hematite / Magnetite / Wustite (FeO), as well as the effects of nitrogen absorbed by the fresh metallic iron produced, or present. in iron catalysts to produce ammonia, from the reducing gas mixture, on the volume change of the samples. Likewise, the catastrophic volume changes caused by nitrogen are compared by comparing sources of this gas in solid carbonaceous reducers.

Keywords: Gaseous Reduction, Direct Reduced Iron, isothermal tests.

INFLUENCE OF CHANGES IN THE THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL ON THE HEATING PROCESS OF MINCED MEAT PRODUCTS
Authors: Smagina М. N. , Smagin D. А. , Smolyak А. А.
Published: June 2021

This paper describes how the thermophysical characteristics change when meat products are heated. Possible methods of processing experimental data obtained by heating minced meat products are shown. It is established that changes in thermal parameters are caused by complex processes of protein denaturation, fat melting, moisture transition from the bound form to the free form, shrinkage of structural elements, and the formation of resilient-elastic-plastic finished product. As a result, knowing and taking into account the influence of thermal characteristics on the heating process of meat products, it is possible to

accurately calculate the duration of heat treatment of minced meat products, which in turn will optimize the cost of energy resources for thermal processes and ensure the production of finished products with high consumer characteristics without underheating or overheating the material of processed products.

Published: June 2021

Objective: Anorectal malignant melanoma is a rare tumor with poor prognosis. In this study, it was aimed to present our surgical results by reviewing the literature retrospectively in 11 patients who underwent surgery for ARMM in our clinic.

Material and Methods: The patients who underwent surgery for anorectal malignant melanoma in Yuksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital between 2007-2018 were included in the study.

Results: Four patients were males and seven were females. Mean age was 54.18. The tumor was in the rectum in 4 cases, in the anorectal region in 3 cases and in the anal canal in 4 cases. Wide local excision was performed in 3 cases and APR was performed in 8 cases. Four of the cases were stage I, 6 were stage II and 1 was stage III. Mean tumor size was 4.73 cm, and mean tumor depth was 13.6 mm. Mean number of metastatic lymph nodes was 10.37. Median survival was 12 months.

Conclusion: Anorectal malignant melanoma is a type of tumor diagnosed in late and advanced stages due to lack of specific findings. Although ARMM is rare, when rectal bleeding, pain, hemorrhoids and changes in bowel habits are observed, ARMM should be kept in mind.
Proctitis infecciosa transmitida sexualmente: reto diagnóstico y recomendaciones de tratamiento
Authors: Bejarano Rengifo Janeth , Cañadas Garrido Raúl
Published: June 2021

La proctitis infecciosa (PI) transmitida sexualmente es un proceso inflamatorio del recto secundario a la infección por gérmenes de transmisión sexual. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum y el virus herpes simple (VHS) son las causas más comunes. Es más prevalente en hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH) y en pacientes con infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), sin embargo, también se diagnostica en heterosexuales por cambios en el comportamiento sexual. La urgencia fecal, el exudado purulento o sanguinolento, la proctalgia y el tenesmo son las  manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes. La historia clínica detallada y un alto índice de sospecha son importantes para establecer el diagnóstico de esta patología; apoyados en los estudios endoscópicos, histológicos, serológicos y microbiológicos. Se recomienda el tratamiento empírico, con a specha clínica y siempre deben descartarse otras infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITSs).

Authors: Vera Juan José , Barroso Nicolás
Published: June 2021

This paper is classified under the trend of studies that make use of ‘Social Network Analysis’ (SNA) to serve as guidelines for social intervention. Within the field of SNA, work has been carried out based on what is referred to as the socio-centric approach, with the aim of revealing a type of complete network, the Subjective Communities Networks, which are built from Community Treatment Groups pertaining to the Argentine Office of Drug-related Comprehensive Policies (SEDRONAR for its Spanish acronym) in order to address problematic abuse in socially vulnerable backgrounds. These groups belong to the ECO2 model, which was devised to intervene in a wide range of social suffering phenomena, and uses the SNA as a theoretical and methodological viewpoint for assessing people and communities. This thought is an attempt to answer the following question: how does SNA help formulate social intervention strategies for SEDRONAR groups in the Province of Mendoza?

Published: June 2021

Semantic web and cloud technology systems have been critical components in creating and deploying applications in various fields. Although they are self-contained, they can be combined in various ways to create solutions, which has recently been discussed in depth. We have shown a dramatic increase in new cloud providers, applications, facilities, management systems, data, and so on in recent years, reaching a level of complexity that indicates the need for new technology to address such tremendous, shared, and heterogeneous services and resources. As a result, issues with portability, interoperability, security, selection, negotiation, discovery, and definition of cloud services and resources may arise. Semantic Technologies, which has enormous potential for cloud computing, is a vital way of re-examining these issues. This paper explores and examines the role of Semantic-Web Technology in the Cloud from a variety of sources. In addition, a "cloud-driven" mode of interaction illustrates how we can construct the semantic web and provide automated semantical annotations to web applications on a large scale by leveraging Cloud computing properties and advantages.

Published: June 2021

The Araró-Simirao geothermal system is located in the southeastern part of the Cuitzeo Lake depression, in the central part of the TransMexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) province. It is a convective hydrothermal system dominated by sodium chloride water and high boron content. The thermal springs mainly release CO2 and lower concentrations of H2S, H2, and noble gases (He, Ne, and Ar). The aim of this study was to delimit the upflow areas in this geothermal system by determining the relationships between diffuse gas emission concentrations in soils and the zones of the greatest plausible permeability. Three sampling campaigns were carried out in 2018 (August and November) and 2019 (May). In these campaigns, diffuse gas emission in soils (CO2, Rn, and Hg vapors) and soil temperature were measured. The diffuse gas emission measurements ranged from 0.8 to 1,421 g m-2d-1 for CO2 flux, from 0.49 to 2,914 ng/m3 for gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), from 1,060 to 124,100 Bq/m3 for 222Rn, and from 0 to 7,511 Bq/m3 for 220Rn. The highest values were obtained in the dry season (May). Several anomalous zones of CO2 fluxes, GEM, and 222Rn were found to match faults and lineaments, interpreted as the greatest permeability zones. The zone with the highest values of these three parameters was located in the so-called mud pool at the crossing of the Araró-Simirao fault with a NW-SE (south zone) lineament, which is associated with the upflow zone of the system. Other anomalous zones were located in fracture and/or lineament zones in the central and northern parts of the system, which are associated with the outflow zone. According to the data obtained herein, CO2 could work as a carrier of Hg and 222Rn in the upflow zone; and this gas may be dissolved in the groundwater in the outflow zone.
Diagenesis and thermal maturity of the Cogollo Group sedimentary rocks in the ANH-CR-Montecarlo-1X well, Cesar-Ranchería Basin, Colombia

Published: June 2021

The exploration well ANH-CR-Montecarlo-1X, in the southern part of the Cesar-Ranchería basin in Colombia, cuts sedimentary rocks assigned to the Cogollo Group (Barremian-Cenomanian). The present study integrates petrographic techniques (thin section microscopy and scanning electron microscopy), geochemistry (total organic carbon and pyrolysis rock-eval) and basic petrophysics to establish the thermal maturity and potential of these rocks as a conventional or unconventional hydrocarbon reservoir. The results of petrographic analysis revealed that the rocks correspond to quartz sandstones and greywackes and the carbonate rocks to mudstones and wackestones. These were affected by diagenetic processes such as compaction and mineral neoformations. The latter include minerals from the clays group that cover the grains of the rock framework, and other types of precipitates, such as silica, ferrous and non-ferrous carbonate that cement them. Some of these minerals present partial or total dissolution, for which secondary porosity is recognized. Chloritization and illitization of the argillaceous matrix and feldspars alteration to ferrous and non-ferrous carbonate are also observed, which affects the porosity and permeability of the rock. Additionally, during diagenesis micrite is recrystallized to sparite and carbonate precipitation ocurred in the calcareous rocks. The study also shows that the rocks were more affected by compaction than precipitation of the different types of cement, thus reducing their porosity and permeability. Based on these parameters the siliciclastic rocks in study area have a low potential as conventional reservoir but a good potential as non-conventional reservoir (tight sandstones). The geochemical studies in the calcareous rocks exhibit low content of total organic carbon (between 0 and 4.5% with an average of 0.71%), with kerogens type III and IV. They have high levels of organic matter conversion, indicative that the rocks did generate hydrocarbons, but currently are depleted and in a mature state, compatible with a low potential of hydrocarbon generation.

Published: June 2021

Objectives: Our study aimed to determine the relationship between serum periostin levels, and the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with ischemic stroke subtypes, clinical stroke scales, and acute prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Forty-two ischemic stroke patients and 39 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were included in our study. Demographic characteristics including age and gender were recorded. Blood serum periostin and NLR values were evaluated in the first 24 hours after admission. Serum periostin levels were compared with healthy controls of similar age and sex. Lesion localization was determined by cranial CT or diffusion MRI of the patients. Stroke scales were recorded on days 1 and 7 of hospitalization in the study group. Results: The mean serum periostin levels were higher than in the control group, but no statistically significant difference was found. There was no correlation between serum periostin levels and prognosis of stroke. First admission NLRs were statistically higher than in the control group. The first admission NLRs were positively correlated with the first admission National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score and the day 7 modified Rankin score. Conclusion: Our study is the first study to evaluate both NLR and serum periostin levels in all types of acute ischemic stroke. While our study did not show that first admission serum periostin levels can be used as a biomarker in ischemic stroke, it did indicate that the first admission NLR can be used for acute prognosis of ischemic stroke.
Effect of Personality Characteristics on Workplace Ostracism: Role of Employee Popularity and Emotional Intelligence- An Evidence from Telecomm Industry of Pakistan
Authors: Zaidi Syed Mohsin Raza , Shah Saif-ul-Mujahid
Published: June 2021

Humans are known to be social beings and the interpersonal interactions we have in our daily lives lay a great impact on our mental and physical health. The phenomenon known as ostracism, defined as exclusion from social gatherings, is the one being studied in this thesis. As per the previous researches, ostracism ramifies depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, and turnover; ultimately adding to the dissatisfaction level. The environments that require a heap of social linkages to perform certain tasks and maintaining interpersonal relationships is a means to align with the cultural values, it is indispensable to understand the perils of being ostracized. As previous researches have mostly focused on the negatives originating from the said phenomenon, we aim to hone these negative affinities by introducing the variables (charisma, political skill, and extraversion) as a counteractive measure to alleviate the downturns branching out. Also, the moderation effect of emotional intelligence and mediation of employee popularity is expected to enhance the relationship even further. The evidence taken from the 5 big telecommunication companies of Pakistan (Islamabad / Rawalpindi) would provide a great sample to substantiate the practical implications of the proposed model. The Questionnaire adopted to gather data is selected from the most valid and widely used sources to further the credibility of the responses. The findings are expected to ameliorate the current understanding of a heinous phenomenon that degrades an individual’s ability to perform and adds to the productivity of an organization.

Purpose: To find counteractive measures to hone the phenomenon called ostracism and signify the need to minimize ostracism at work along with all the negatives behaviors associated.

Methodology: A 34 item questionnaire was rolled out in the top 5 telecommunication companies of Pakistan and data collected was analyzed using SPSS and SMART PLS

Results / Findings: Charisma has a direct negative correlation with workplace ostracism and employee popularity partially mediates the relationship between workplace ostracism and charisma. Political skills and charisma don’t have a significant negative correlation with workplace ostracism but employee popularity completely mediates the relationship between political skills and WPO, and charisma and WPO. However, emotional intelligence didn’t have a significant moderation relationship with workplace ostracism.
Web search engines as teaching and research resources : a perceptions survey of IT and CS staff from selected universities of the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa
Authors:   , Tamba Paul A. Tamba
Published: June 2021

This study examines the perceived effect of the following factors on web searching ability of academic staff in the computing discipline: demographic attributes such as gender, age group, position held by the academic staff, highest qualification, etc; lecturing experience, research experience, English language proficiency, and web searching experience. The research objectives are achieved using a Likert-scale based questionnaire for 61 academic staff from Information Technology and Computer Science departments from four Universities from the Kwazulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed for data analysis from the questionnaire after performing data reliability and validity tests using factor analysis and Cronbach‟s coefficients methods on the PASW Statistics 18.0 (SPSS). Descriptive statistics revealed a majority of staff from IT as compared to staff in CS and, a majority of under qualified middle age male staff in junior positions with considerable years of lecturing experience but with little research experience. Inferential statistics show an association between web searching ability and demographic attributes such as academic qualifications, positions, and years of research experience, and also reveal a relationship between web searching ability and lecturing experience, and between web searching ability and English language ability. However, the association between position, English language ability, and searching ability was found to be the strongest of all. The novelty finding by this study is the effect of lecturing experience on web searching ability which has not been claimed by existing research reviewed. Ideas for future research include mentoring of academic staff by more experienced staff, training of novice web searchers, designing and using semantic search systems both in English and in local languages, publishing more web content in local languages, and triangulating various research strategies for the analysis of the usability of web search engines.

Herewith our primary goal was to evaluate the relation between any degree malnutrition with left atrial strain in relevant patient group.

Patients and Methods: Patients with diabetes mellitus with retinopathy, who were referred to the outpatient cardiology clinic were assessed. Those who had sinus rhythm, had no findings of significant valvular heart disease and coronary artery disease underwent to 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography and assessed for malnutrition in their prior examinations were included to the study. Hundred and seventy patients met the inclusion criteria. Malnutrition scores such as CONUT score, NRI, and PNI were used to evaluate nutrition condition of the patients.

Results: Thirty percent of all diabetic patients were demonstrated to have malnutrition according to the CONUT score. Left atrial conduit strain was demonstrated to decrease [ß: -7.5 (CI 95%, -10.7, -4.3 p<0.001)], Left atrial reservoir strain was demonstrated to increase [ß: 2.48(CI 95%,0.83- 4.13 p<0.03)] and Left atrial contractile strain was demonstrated to decrease [ß: -4.21(CI 95%, -2.21, -6.01 p<0.001)] in the presence of any degree malnutrition.

Conclusion: In this study we have demonstrated that malnutrition is an important entity in patients with diabetes mellitus and also has a significant impact on Left atrial strain.

Investors definitely expect a high return on the investment made. To obtain a high return, investors need to analyze the investment they are making. The analysis carried out can be a fundamental analysis that assesses the company's financial capacity by looking at financial reports. Fundamental analysis can be done by assessing the DPR and ROE produced by the company. Apart from fundamental analysis, investors also need to pay attention to macro factors such as inflation that can affect their investment. This study aims to determine the effect of DPR and ROE partially on stock returns and to determine the moderation of inflation in each of the effects of DPR and ROE on stock returns. The object of this research are companies listed on the LQ45 index for the 2018-2019 period. The sample method used was purposive sampling in order to obtain a sample size of 40 samples. The data analysis technique used moderate regression analysis. The results showed that the DPR did not have a significant effect on stock returns while ROE had a positive and significant effect on stock returns. The results also show that inflation does not moderate the respective effects of DPR and ROE on stock returns.
Intergroup Discrimination in Cooperation Among Moral and Non-Moral Groups

In-group favouritism is ubiquitous and previous studies have consistently found that individuals cooperate more with in-group members than out-group members in diverse contexts. Yet, there has not been much research on the role of the nature of groups in intergroup cooperation. A recent study found stronger levels of in-group favouritism amongst groups formed on the basis of shared moral values. However, it remained unclear whether the increased favouritism was caused by a greater tendency to act favourably towards the in-group or derogatorily towards the out-group. The present study thus investigated intergroup cooperation among morality-based and non-morality-based groups and examined the levels of cooperation with an in-group member and an out-group member as compared to a person whose group membership was unknown. Regardless of how groups were formed, in-group favouritism was present, while out-group derogation was absent. Furthermore, we found that the shared morality promoted in-group cooperation indirectly via low perceived out-group warmth. Our study provides further evidence that in-group favouring behaviour does not include derogating out-groups and points to the importance of further investigation into the role of the shared morality in intergroup cooperation.

Foehn effect during easterly flow over Svalbard

Abstract. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the foehn episode which occurred over Svalbard on 30–31 May 2017. This episode is well documented by multiplatform measurements carried out during the ACLOUD/PASCAL campaigns. Both orographic wind modification and foehn warming are considered here. The latter is found to be primarily produced by the isentropic drawdown, which is evident from observations and mesoscale numerical modelling. The structure of the observed foehn warming was in many aspects very similar to that for foehns over the Antarctic Peninsula. In particular, it is found that the warming was proportional to the height of the mountain ridges and propagated far downstream. Also, a strong spatial heterogeneity of the foehn warming was observed with a clear cold footprint associated with gap flows along the mountain valleys and fjords. On the downstream side, a shallow stably-stratified boundary layer below a well-mixed layer formed over the snow-covered land and cold open water. The foehn warming downwind Svalbard strengthened the north-south horizontal temperature gradient across the ice edge near the northern tip of Svalbard. This suggests that the associated baroclinicity might have strengthened the observed northern tip jet. Positive daytime radiative budget on the surface, increased by the foehn clearance, along with the downward sensible heat flux provoked an accelerated snowmelt in the mountain valleys in Ny-Alesund and Adventdalen, which suggests a potentially large effect of the frequently observed Svalbard foehns on the snow-cover and the glacier heat and mass balance.
