Notary's Authority to Make Deeds of Name Loan Agreement (Nominee) Related to Sale And Purchase a Land Involving Foreigners
Authors: Irawan Aprian  , Gatot Dwi Hendro Wibowo  , Kurniawan
Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze whether the authority to make deeds of a Notary applies to all forms of agreement and what is the Notary's responsibility for making Deeds of loan agreements (nominees) related to buying and selling land involving foreigners. This legal research method uses normative legal research. The approach used is a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. From this research the author found, firstly, that there is disharmony between article 15 paragraph (1) a of Law number 2 of 2014 concerning amendments to Law number 30 of 2004 concerning the Position of Notaries hereinafter abbreviated as UUJN and Law number 5 of 1960 concerning the Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles, hereinafter abbreviated to UUPA. Where in article 15 paragraph (1) a UUJN which states that Notaries have the authority to make authentic deeds regarding all deeds, agreements and provisions required by statutory regulations and/or which are desired by interested parties to be stated in authentic deeds, this is often a loophole in a acts of legal smuggling carried out by foreigners and Indonesian citizens and often involving notaries in a loan agreement (nominee) related to the sale and purchase of land involving foreigners, which is contrary to UUPA article 21 which states that only Indonesian citizens can have property rights. Due to this conflict of norms, the authority to make deeds of a notary does not apply to all forms of agreements. Secondly, if the notary is proven to have committed an act of legal smuggling, the notary must be responsible for his actions both civilly, administratively and criminally.

Published: May 2024

The paper has analyzed the political stability, corruption and economic development in the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) countries for the period of 2000 to 2020. The common properties of the panel data were first checked to avoid mis-specification bias and hence biased statistical results. Firstly, the CD test revealed no evidence/absence of cross sectional dependence among the countries which validates the use of traditional panel unit root that does not take account of cross-sectional dependence. The results of panel unit root test proposed by Levin et al (2002) revealed that the variables are integrated of order zero i.e. I (0). Based on this, the paper explores within the panel VAR framework. Evidence from impulse response functions revealed that, political stability and rule of low are economic development promoters while corruption hampers economic development in the region. The results from variance decomposition indicate that the variables under study contribute or hinder economic development in the WAMZ countries. Based on the results the paper recommends that, transparency and accountability at all level of government affairs as well as respecting the constitution in these nations should be preserved in order to overcome all social and political injustice among the countries under study.

En la actualidad la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) o corporativa es considerada como elemento indispensable en la gestión de las organizaciones, empresas y universidades. De manera reciente adquiere vital importancia y trascendencia en el sector turismo y de manera específica en el rubro de la hospitalidad. El objetivo del estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de diversos instrumentos de análisis, diagnóstico o evaluación de la RSE en hoteles, encontrando un total de 16 instrumentos publicados en diversos países. Para ello se aplicó el enfoque cualitativo con revisión bibliográfica. Las unidades de análisis en su mayoría lo conformaron instrumentos aplicados en hoteles con categoría cuatro y cinco estrellas. Se concluye que no existe un instrumento estándar que mida la RSE en el sector hotelero, por el contrario, existen diversos instrumentos con múltiples dimensiones y coincidencia en las dimensiones económica, ambiental y social. Asimismo, las investigaciones sobre RSE en hoteles de categorías inferiores aún son escasas, por lo que tampoco existen instrumentos que midan la variable en dicho sector. También se concluye que la población de estudio lo integran dueños, gerentes, colaboradores y clientes (stakeholders) de manera indistinta.

Published: May 2024

Quercus oblongata D. Don is an economically and ecologically important tree species. It is distributed in the western Himalayan region of India as well as Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The present study explored the potential distribution and habitat suitability of Q. oblongata using ensemble modeling. Eleven environmental variables (eight bioclimatic and three topographic), and 121 occurrence records were used in the analysis. Four algorithms: Generalized Additive Model (GAM), Generalized Linear Model (GLM), Random Forest (RF), and Maximum Entropy (Max Ent) were used to build the ensemble model for potential suitable habitat of Q. oblongata. To evaluate the model performance, AUC and TSS metrics were used, which showed high AUC (>0.94) and TSS (>0.86) metrics for all the models. The environmental variables that displayed high contribution in the prediction were temperature annual range (bio7, 48.5%), precipitation of wettest period (bio13 ; 41%), and elevation (elev ; 40%). The total suitable area was 22634 km2, including the least (12546 km2), moderate (7935 km2), and highly (2153 km2) suitable areas. Habitat suitability of Q. oblongata is predicted in most of the regions of Nainital, Almora, central Tehri Garhwal, eastern Mussoorie and Chakrata region of Dehradun District of Uttarakhand. A sizeable wide patch was found in Southern Chamba with Northern Kangra District, including the northern region of Mandi District of Himachal Pradesh. The predicted suitable habitat can be used for future exploration for the study of genetic diversity and conservation purposes.

Published: May 2024

A study was conducted to evaluate the influence of breed and sex on body weight and conformation traits in two turkey breeds: Nigerian Indigenous Turkey (NIT) and Hybrid Commercial Turkey (HCT). Sixty-four poults were randomly assigned to two treatment groups based on breed, with each breed further replicated four times, comprising eight birds per replicate. The birds were reared in deep litter pens for 18 weeks. Conformation traits assessed included body length (BL), breast girth (BG), shank length (SL), thigh length (TL), wing span (WS), wing length (WL), and neck length (NL). Data collected on body weight and conformation traits were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) package. Results revealed significant (p< 0.05) differences in body weight between the two breeds, Conformation traits also showed significantly higher values in HCT compared to NIT. Sex had a significant effect (p< 0.05) on body weight and conformation traits in both turkey breeds, with male turkeys exhibiting significantly higher values than females. Additionally, there were significant (p< 0.05) interactions between breed and sex. It was concluded that variations exist in body weight and conformation traits between the two turkey breeds, suggesting potential for crossbreeding with improved breeds to enhance the performance of Nigerian Indigenous Turkey.

Computer-Aided Neuro-fuzzy Algorithm for Prediction of Ginger(Zingiber officinale) Rhizome Drying
Authors: Emmanuel Olusola Oke , Eze Aru Okereke , Johnson Eze Igwe
Published: May 2024

Neuro-fuzzy modeling technique has been used for the development of computer-based adaptive process control systems for most postharvest operations instead of convectional mechanistic modeling technique owing to its good prediction without prior knowledge of process operation. Therefore, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) modeling and prediction of ginger (Zingiber officinale) rhizome moisture content in a forced convective tray dryer was investigated in this study. Computer codes for an exhaustive search and grid partitioning were written in the Matlab software environment and used for the analysis of experimental data obtained from the ginger rhizome drying experiment. The data were trained and checked using the grid-partitioning ANFIS method for the development of neuro-fuzzy network for ginger drying prediction. The prediction accuracy of the network was evaluated by varying input and output Membership Function (MF) types. The exhaustive search analysis shows that drying time (DT) has the highest effect on the moisture content, followed by air drying temperature (ADT), air relative humidity (ARH), and air flow velocity (AFV). Moreover, combination of DT and ADT as two interactive variables; and combination DT, ADT and ARH as three interactive variables show highest effect on ginger moisture content removal during the process. Generalized bell (gbell) MF with two MF for each input variable and constant output MF 2 type were obtained as the best ginger drying ANFIS network with corresponding R and MSE of 0.9667 and 0.0971, respectively. Therefore, this study shows the reliability of the ANFIS model for the prediction of ginger rhizome drying in a tray dryer.

Authors: Sultan Aqib , Safdar Nida , Malik Nasrullah , Nizamuddin Summaiya
Published: May 2024

Background: Enteric fever remains an imperative public health problem in developing countries. After the emergence of cephalosporin resistance in Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi, azithromycin is increasingly being used for oral treatment of enteric fever. Reports of sporadic azithromycin resistance have been reported across the country, additionally, misuse of azithromycin during the COVID-19 pandemic has concerns regarding emerging azithromycin resistance. This study evaluated the reliability of the disc diffusion method as a screening test for detecting azithromycin resistance by comparing it with the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) gradient strip results, in 231 typhoidal salmonellae.
Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Section of microbiology of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore from March 2022 to March 2023. Isolates recovered from blood cultures of patients, suffering from enteric fever were selected. Azithromycin susceptibility testing was performed both by disk diffusion and as well as gradient strips and their results were compared.
Results: Among typhoidal salmonellae, a significant portion consisted of extensively drug resistant Salmonella Typhi (61.9%). Only one XDR S. Typhi was found to be resistant to azithromycin both by disk diffusion method and MIC gradient strip method, with a MIC value of 64µg/ml. The study found no discrepancy between the disk diffusion and gradient strip methods.
Conclusion: The current study found no discordance between disk diffusion and gradient strip test methods for evaluating azithromycin susceptibility among typhoidal salmonellae.

Published: May 2024

Background: Salmonella typhi cause enteric fever which is a grave community health problem with increasing antibiotic resistance. Salmonella typhi is responsible for 10.9 million morbidities and 116800 mortalities worldwide with the greatest burden falling on third world countries. It is common among children with incidence rate of typhoid fever 573.2 per 100,000 in aged 2-5years and 451.7 cases per 100,000 children per year among 2-15years old in Pakistan. Early detection of Salmonella typhi and selection of appropriate antibiotics are important to mitigate the morbidity and fatality rate related to these kinds of infections. We have conducted this study to assess the extensively drug resistance in isolates of Salmonella typhi in Karachi, Pakistan.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at private set up, Karachi from 2019-2021. This study was ethically approved from hospital management. Data related to phenotypic detection of antimicrobial susceptibility was obtained from LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System). According to record both in-door and out-door patients were included in the study.  The collected data was scrutinized by using descriptive statistics performed with SPSS version 24. Chi-square was used to test for statistical significance (P ≤ 0.05).
Results: Total 10564 samples were extracted from data, out of which 4582 samples were found positive for growth of different microorganisms. Salmonella typhi were positive in 1500 cases and only 412 samples were exhibiting XDR Salmonella typhi. Maximum cases of XDR Salmonella typhi were detected in age group 5-10 years with 38.8%. There were 61% male and 39% female.
Conclusion: Our study explains that cases of enteric fever as a result of Salmonella typhi are swarming in all cities of Pakistan and particularly at Karachi. XDR is not restricted to Karachi but it is the tip of the iceberg. There is an urgent need to detect these cases timely and start appropriate treatment to overcome complications.

Authors: Sethi Sher Muhammad , Memoona Irshad  , Iqbal Roodaba
Published: May 2024

Background: The primary objective was to assess the change in oxygenation status of patients after remdesivir treatment.
Material and Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi from September to December 2020. All patients aged >18 years admitted with a positive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for COVID-19 were included. Infection severity was subcategorized into two groups (moderate-to-severe and critical). We compared oxygenation status and assisted ventilation before and after remdesivir treatment. An analysis of outcomes between the groups was conducted using chi squares and the student t-test at a significance level of <0.05.
Results: We had 213 COVID-19 patients, of whom 114 (53.5%) received remdesivir during their hospital stay. 69 (60.5%) patients were male and the mean age was 52±12 years. 56 patients (49.1%) had moderate-to-severe infections. 21 out of 56 patients (37.5%) with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infection while 47 out of 58 patients (81%) with critical COVID-19 required oxygen following remdesivir treatment (p-value: <0.001). Out of 58 critical COVID-19 patients, 46 patients (79.3%) were on non-invasive ventilation and 12 patients (20.7%) were on invasive ventilation prior to remdesivir therapy. 22 out of 46 patients (47.8%) recovered from non-invasive ventilation after remdesivir treatment (p-value: <0.001). 15 patients had mortality (13.1%) while the mean length of hospital stay with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infection was 6.8 days and with critical COVID-19 infection was 11.3 days.
Conclusion: The study emphasizes that remdesivir was found to be clinically beneficial in patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infection. Besides improving oxygenation status, it also reduced mortality and shortened hospital stays.

The paper aims to investigate the role and influence of religion on Albanians in all ethnic areas, as well as show the role and influence that religions have had on the Albanian nation since their appearance, especially the influence they have today. In this research, authors reiterate that religious tolerance, cultivated for centuries, has now gone beyond acceptance and tolerance, and has advanced in religious harmony and coexistence, which is often taken as an example by other peoples. However, the religious conversions taking place within the ethnic Albanian territories, it is assumed to be a consequence of the economic situation and the decline in the level of education. Still, there are also some other reasons because many circles are trying to introduce disunity and division among the Albanians. the religious aspect, among others, an absurd accusation by the Special Court of The Hague, which at one point mentions the mistreatment and torture caused by the KLA fighters against Catholics, forgetting the fact that within the KLA there were many fighters of the faith Christians, who have never been identified as such, therefore this absurd decision to treat Catholics as a special category within the Albanian nation, which for us as a nation, is as insulting as it is tendentious and unacceptable. In this research, in addition to other research methods, we created a survey on the Google platform, trying to include citizens of all ages, ethnicities, and religions, because only in this way would the picture be more complete.

Authors: Méndez-González F. , Favela Torres E. , Buenrostro-Figueroa J.J.
Published: May 2024

La producción de nopal verdura es una actividad estratégica en México. El nopal es resistente a enfermedades e inclemencias climatológicas; sin embargo, es susceptible al ataque de diversos insectos. Entre ellos, el Picudo del nopal (Cactophagus spinolae) es potencialmente dañino para la planta y es combatido con sustancias químicas poco amigables con el medio ambiente. Por lo que, como alternativa para proteger a las plantas de infestaciones de Picudo, se evaluó el uso de Metarhizium robertsii como un agente de control biológico. A partir de la dosificación de esporas, el microorganismo mostró capacidad para disminuir la población de Picudos en condiciones de laboratorio y en campo abierto. Lo anterior demuestra que M. robersii puede utilizarse como agente de control biológico contra el Picudo del nopal. Con base en lo anterior, se podrá generar un paquete tecnológico para la producción y aplicación de altas cantidades de esporas de M. robertsii para el control biológico de Picudo del nopal con un enfoque sustentable.

Este livro resulta sobretudo da necessidade de preencher essa omissão no domínio da formação em Robótica Industrial, tendo os autores utilizado a marca de robots YASKAWA neste volume não só por ser uma das marcas mais vendidas em todo o mundo, mas também pela sua fácil operação e programação.
Global Warming Potential from the Life Cycle of Fischer-Tropsch Fuel from Carbon Capture for Passenger Cars in Jakarta
Authors: Indrawan Putra Satria , Dalimi Rinaldy
Published: May 2024

Measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the form of carbon capture and storage have not been implemented in Indonesia, especially because there are carbon transportation and storage processes that do not provide added value. The Fischer-Tropsch process is a technology that can produce products that can be processed from CO2 and processed to become value-added commodities in the form of motor vehicle fuel. Using the openLCA application, a life cycle analysis was carried out of the synthesis of FT fuel for use in conventional gasoline vehicles in Jakarta from the capture of CO2 sourced from a coal fired power plant’s exhaust gas, which was compared with the life cycle of electrical energy for battery electric vehicles and conventional fuel for internal combustion engine vehicles. The life cycle impact method used is global warming potential which is expressed in kg CO2-eq. An alternative scenario is created as a comparison for analysis regarding life cycle impacts and parameter sensitivity. It is gathered that FT Fuel synthesis from carbon capture has a higher GWP impact than electrical energy for BEVs and conventional gasoline for ICEVs, due to the high electrical energy requirements from FT Fuel synthesis and the energy mix of the Java-Bali electric power system which is still dominated by fossil-fueled power plants. With alternative scenarios, the GWP impact from FT Fuel synthesis could be equivalent to or lower than electrical energy for BEVs and conventional gasoline for ICEVs.

Variation of Aquifer potential characteristics and its impacts on the groundwater subsurface protection of the aquiferous zone using electrical resistivity method was carried out at Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State South-West Nigeria with the principal purpose of assessing and rating aquifer protective capacity of the overburden units in the area. Twenty seven (27) vertical electrical sounding (VES) were conducted using Schlumberger configuration with the maximum electrode spacing of 100m at each point using Allied OMHEGA Resistivity meter. The data were interpreted using partial curve matching techniques and computer iteration program using WINRESIST. Parameters such as aquifer resistivity, aquifer thickness, overburden thickness, bedrock resistivity, reflection coefficient and longitudinal unit conductance were calculated and used for evaluating the groundwater yields and vulnerability of the aquiferous zone to contaminant seepages. The range of reflection coefficient is found to be between 0.02 and 0.98 while that of the protective capacity is between 0.00135 and 0.510. Groundwater potentials of the area were categorized as being high (overburden thickness 13m and reflection coefficient less than 0.8); medium (overburden thickness 13m and with reflection coefficient 0.8) and low (overburden thickness < 13m and reflection coefficient. Also, the study area shows a very poor, poor, and moderate protective capacity rating. Seven (7) VES stations have very poor protective capacity, eighteen (18) VES stations shows poor protective capacity and only two (2) VES stations shows a moderate protective capacity rating. Since the illustration the longitudinal conductance revealed the impermeability of the confining layers which is generally ˂ 1.0 Siemens; values ˃1.0 Siemens which indicates zones in which the confined aquifer is subject to protection by the overlying formation materials; these revelations in the study area were possible indications that the groundwater quality status may have been impaired which necessitated the urgent need for the groundwater to be randomly...

Judicial documents and judgments are a rich source of information about legal cases, litigants, and judicial decision-makers. Natural language processing (NLP) based approaches have recently received much attention for their ability to decipher implicit information from text. NLP researchers have successfully developed data-driven representations of text using dense vectors that encode the relations between those objects. In this study, we explore the application of the Doc2Vec model to legal language to understand judicial reasoning and identify implicit patterns in judgments and judges. In an application to federal appellate courts, we show that these vectors encode information that distinguishes courts in time and legal topics. We use Doc2Vec document embeddings to study the patterns and train a classifier model to predict cases with a high chance of being appealed at the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). There are no existing benchmarks, and we present the first results at this task at scale. Furthermore, we analyze generic writing/judgment patterns of prominent judges using deep learning-based autoencoder models. Overall, we observe that Doc2Vec document embeddings capture important legal information and are helpful in downstream tasks.

In Ecuador, within a contentious divorce judicial process, in accordance with the criteria of the National Court of Justice and with the same adjective norm, the situation of minor children, born within the marriage, must be resolved in a mandatory manner. which is to be dissolved. In this sense, Ecuadorian legislation has determined that, in judicial processes that address the interests and rights of children and adolescents, it is fundamental and necessary that a curator ad litem be appointed, so that he is the one who watches over their rights. The appointment of a curator ad litem has been specifically considered in resolution No. 10-2016 of the National Court of Justice, which even regulates the procedure to be followed for their correct appointment, since within the adjective regulations they do not there is a specific and clear budget regarding the subject. However, the fundamental presupposition that must exist is that the rights of children and adolescents cannot be violated and within the judicial processes that the interests of this social group are ventilated, it is necessary to guarantee their rights. Through the present investigation, the importance of the figure of the curator ad litem will be determined, within the judicial processes of divorce on grounds. For which a qualitative methodology has been used, and the use of different methods of this, such as the synthetic analytical method and the deductive method, for when the intrinsic characteristics of the research problem were analyzed, analyzing causes and effects, to from a general premise, one will arrive at particular premises.
