Hepatitis C revealed during covid-19 infection. A case report
Authors: BOUKROUS Hanane , DERGHAL Rachida , MEZHOUD Ines
Published: January 2025

SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus was discovered by the end of December 2019, in Wuhan,
China; more than 135 million people have been infected and more than 2.9 millions
have died worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing public health
emergency. Patients with chronic diseases are at major risk of complications and poor
prognosis. We present here a case of hepatitis C discovered during COVID-19
pandemic, highlighting the epidemiological, diagnostic and therapeutic issues
surrounding this co-infection. The aim of this case study was to evaluate liver function
abnormalities and the relationship between COVID-19 severity and progression of liver
disease. Our male patient had a medical history of stroke. He presented with
symptoms of COVID-19 in July 2021 : chills and a progressive and significant biological
disturbance: disturbed liver function tests, elevated CRP and severe thrombocytopenia
at blood count formula. General condition rapidly worsened with desaturation. The first
chest CT revealed interstitial lung disease compatible with covid involvement. After the
failure of several therapeutic approaches, and in view of the worsening general
condition and persistent biological disturbance, especially in the presence of signs
pointing to liver damage, HCV serology and viral load were requested and found to be
positive. The patient was stabilized for his COVID-19 infection, then began antiviral
treatment for hepatitis C. Progression was spectacular within three months.
What about a strangulated broad ligament hernia? Case experience.
Authors: FEGHOUL Nabyla , SEOUDI Zakaria
Published: January 2025

Little known, herniation of the broad ligament of the uterus is a rare entity of internal
hernias which poses a real diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. These clinical and
radiological findings are often nonspecific and the entity is generally discovered
incidentally intraoperatively during urgent surgery for occlusive syndrome. Although
such a scenario is not a usual condition, a high index of suspicion is required in time
to avoid progression to intestinal ischemia. Until a few years ago, conventional
surgery was the approach systematically used in the therapeutic management of the
pathology. With advances in minimally invasive techniques, more and more clinical
reports have attested to the value of laparoscopy in the diagnostic and therapeutic
adequacy of the condition. However, the experience remains remarkable and the
literature reported is rare to date. To this end, we present the case of a patient
diagnosed with acute intestinal obstruction without radiological confirmation of the
etiological conjecture. Emergency laparoscopy finally revealed the incarceration of
the small intestine through a herniation of the broad ligament and also allowed
therapeutic success. This report aims to highlight the diagnostic difficulties of the
pathology and the potential advantages of its laparoscopic management.

Authors: BENSEKHRIA Nardjesse , BENHASSINE Wissal
Published: January 2025

Introduction. Optimizing the working time of healthcare staff is important to improve
the efficiency of health services. This study aims to analyze the distribution of working
time in the maternity wards of Batna. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted
in six maternity hospitals in Batna in 2022. Data on total available time (TAT) and its
distribution between care activities, support activities, and additional activities were
collected for 105 work situations. Descriptive and ANOVA analyses were performed.
Results. The average annual TAT was 1528.81 hours (standard deviation: 184.94).
On average, 52.65% of the time was dedicated to care activities, 42.38% to support
activities, and 4.96% to additional activities. Significant differences were observed
between services for care activities (p<0.001) and support activities (p<0.001). The
blood banks (88.04%) and operating rooms (72.56%) dedicated the most time to care
activities, while pediatric emergencies (60.36%) and laboratories (54.86%) allocated
more time to support activities. Conclusion. This study reveals significant variations
in the distribution of working time between services and professional categories. These
results can guide the optimization of work organization in maternity wards to improve
the efficiency of care.

Authors: Korat Ravi V , Bisane K D , Modi P K
Published: January 2025

An investigation on environment friendly management against pseudostem weevil, [Odoiporus longicollis (Oliver)] in banana was carried out during year 2021-22 at farmers’ field in Siyod village of Surat district with ratoon crop and tissue culture plants. Though standard check and farmer practice were found effective, but among biopesticides and botanicals, stem injection with Azadirachtin 10000 ppm @ 4.0 ml l-1 was superior and minimized the plant damage, holes on pseudostem and pest population of pseudostem weevil as well as exhibited the higher fruit yield and incremental cost benefit ratio. After that, swabbing of Azadiractin 10000 ppm @ 2.5 ml l-1 and spraying of Beauveria bassiana (2 x 108 CFU g-1) @ 4.0 g l-1 + pseudostem trapping also proved their effectiveness than other treatments. These three treatments also exhibited higher plant height, pseudostem girth, hands per bunch and fingers per bunch than other biopesticides and botanicals. The ratoon crop plantation was found more susceptible than tissue culture plantation.

Published: January 2025

Rice sheath blight brought on by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the most significant diseases in the world, which results in significant yield losses. Application of chemical fungicides is the most preferred approach for the management of disease but extensive use of them results in environment pollution and resistance development to pathogen. Thus, there is a need to explore alternative strategies to overcome the problem of fungicide usage. The present study was done to develop sustainable strategy which is an environment friendly and alternative to chemical fungicides. Among various treatments, soil application of neem cake at 200 kg acre-1 + foliar spray of micronutrient mixture 5 g l-1 at 40 days after transplanting (DAT) + foliar spray of microbial consortia 5 g l-1 at 50 DAT was found very effective in reducing the disease severity (19.16%) and increasing growth promotion activity compared to control. Therefore, the findings of this investigation could be exploited under bio-intensive disease management programme for sustainable cultivation of rice.

Published: January 2025

Linz-Donawitz (LD) steel slag, a byproduct of steel industry produced in huge amount is a rich source of plant essential and beneficial mineral nutrients. This study aims to evaluate the impact of LD slag (ranging from 0.5-1.0 t ha-1) given with and without 80 per cent recommended dose of NPK fertilizers (RDF) on yield and physico-chemical and biological characteristics of soil under wheat, rice, maize, brinjal, tomato, amaranthus and mustard. The application of LD slag without RDF reduced the soil quality and crop growth and yield significantly. However, in comparison to control, the LD slag applied along with 80 per cent RDF significantly increased soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon, urease and phosphatase activities across majority of crops. The total microbial count (TMC) was reduced in the soil under all crops except wheat and maize under the slag alone treatment. The slag application with 80 per cent RDF enhanced plant biomass and yield of maize and brinjal, but increased biomass and fruit yield alone in mustard and tomato, respectively. The study evidenced that the application of LD slag is useful in improving soil physical and biological status, and improves the crop growth and yield, selectively, even with less NPK fertilizer application.

Efficient Correction of DNA Hetero–Duplexes Formed During SELEX Procedure
Authors: Al-Ogaili Adil , Hargis Billy , Kwon Young Min
Published: January 2025

Background: Aptamers, oligos-based (ssDNA or RNA) and peptide-based, are now emerging as the first-choice biomolecules in various applications in medicine and biology. DNA aptamers selection process includes repeatable steps of DNA amplification and digestion. The amplification process of the enriched DNA aptamers includes using PCR.
Objective of study: In this article, we sought to describe an efficient and robust method that corrects or permanently removes the PCR by–products during the cycles of DNA aptamers selection.
Materials and Methods: Our method is simple, efficient, and requires no enzymatic treatment. In this method, we applied repetitive cycles of thermal treatment to the enriched aptamers final products during the enrichment cycles. The procedure starts with loading the PCR-induced DNA on 1% agarose gel to evaluate the presence of ladder-like DNA or smearing band-like DNA. Next, we cut and purified these by–products and applied thermal treatment. The thermal treatment was by heating the DNA to 65ºC for 10 minutes and then cool them down to 20ºC for 1 minute.
Results: PCR artifacts evaluation has been revealed two types of unwanted DNA sequences; the ladder-like and the smearing bands. The next–Generation illume sequencing specified the presence of long and short sequences. Upon the thermal treatment of the PCR products, the next–generation illume sequencing method results showed that the longer sequences and the shorter sequences of the DNA have been reduced considerably and effectively in the DNA pool over the cycles of the systemic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) procedure. Furthermore, we could reduce the formation of the hetero–duplexes in the next cycles of (SELEX) procedure.
Conclusion: This method suggests practical and routine application to prevent or reduce DNA aptamer by–products during the selection process. This treatment could reduce the mis-shaped or irrelevant non-functional aptamers in SELEX procedure

Published: January 2025

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is the presence of kidney dysfunctions less than sixty (ml/min) of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) per 1.73 square meters that has prolonged for at least three months; it is widespread and affects over 10% of individuals worldwide.
Objective of Study: The objective of this study was to assess how well the kidney function indicators cystatin C, apolipoprotein A, and apolipoprotein B functioned in people with CKD.
Materials and Methods: In this study cystatin C, apolipoprotein A, apolipoprotein B, creatinine, urea, and uric acid levels were determined. A total of 150 samples of blood, which were gathered from one hundred patients who had chronic kidney disease aged between 20 and 69 years and fifty healthy subjects as controls aged between 23 and 67 years, at the medical City-Baghdad hospital/Iraq during the period from December 2022 to April 2023. Cystatin C, apolipoprotein A, and apolipoprotein B were evaluated by using an enzymatic linked absorption assay (Sandwich Elisa), and the assessments of urea, creatinine, and uric acid were accomplished with apparatus Cobas c111.
Results: Patients with chronic kidney disease had highly significantly raised levels of cystatin C, apolipoprotein B levels, serum creatinine, urea, and uric acid in comparison with the control group (P-value = 0.000). In contrast, the apolipoprotein A levels in the patient groups were considerably lower than in the control group (P-value = 0.000).
Conclusion: In conclusion, cystatin C and apolipoprotein B levels were elevated with kidney dysfunction, while a reduction of apolipoprotein A levels may be used as an indicator of probable risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Authors: Kay Emily Chemutai
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to determine the influence of structural adjustment on the organisational development of KCB Bank Ltd. Changes to the organisation's structure that may result from internal or external causes and frequently have an impact on how a business performs. KCB Bank Ltd. has been implementing changes for its organisation in an effort to improve its performance and growth, just like any other organisation operating in a highly competitive climate. This study employed a descriptive survey design and targeted employees of the bank in the Great Rift Region. A sample size of 48 respondents was used. Data for the study was collected using a self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire and a key informant interview. Descriptive and regression analysis was used to analyse quantitative data, whereas content analysis analysed qualitative data. These results demonstrated that the bank has been undergoing structural adjustment, which has improved organisational development. However, there are still gaps in employee participation in decision-making and transfers/placement of employees from one department to the other. Management should, therefore, promote a culture of open and transparent communication within the bank. They should also establish transparent guidelines and processes for employee transfers/placements between departments.

This community service aims to utilize shallot peel waste as a basic ingredient for biopesticides. The background of this service is concern about the dominant use of synthetic pesticides by farmers as a strategy for controlling pests and diseases. This strategy is unsustainable in the long term because of its deadly side effects and reactions not only for humans and other animals, but also for non-target plants, organisms around the plants and the environment. In addition, there are also concerns about the development of pest resistance to this synthetic pesticide. The target is farmers in Klaseman Village, Gending District, Probolinggo Regency by utilizing abundant available shallot peeled waste in their sorrounding. The main activities that covers counseling, demonstration of the making process, demonstration of application on plants and witnessing the effectiveness of the application provide positive results in the form of increased knowledge, skills about the benefits of shallot peel waste. Based on the effectiveness of the application of onion peel extract as a vegetable pesticide can inhibit the growth of onion plant pests, it is hoped that in the long term the community will reduce the use of synthetic pesticides and switch to plant-based pesticides.

Sukorejo Village is one of the villages in Jember Regency, where the reading interest among school-aged children remains low. Reflecting the common challenges faced by the younger generation today, Sukorejo Village requires concrete efforts to foster a reading culture, enabling the youth to perceive books as gateways to the world, thereby enhancing their knowledge and insights. Sukorejo Village features a tourist attraction known as the "Suko-Suko Canal," a serene destination with stunning natural landscapes along the river, surrounded by local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This community engagement initiative aims to explore the development of a nature-based library at the Suko-Suko Canal as a means of promoting reading interest among the younger generation. The method employed involves conducting a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to design the concept and management of the nature-based library, followed by its establishment and culminating in a formal launch event. The outcomes of the initiative reveal that the library was designed and established to harmonize with the surrounding environment, featuring a collection of books focusing on environmental literacy, local culture, and children's education. During the socialization phase, various literacy activities, such as group reading sessions and educational games, successfully increased student participation and reading interest. The establishment of this nature-based library not only promotes literacy but also supports environmental conservation, offering an innovative solution to improve the literacy culture in Indonesia. Through an educational-recreational approach, the Suko-Suko Canal nature-based library has the potential to serve as a model for literacy development integrated with tourism in other regions.

COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF CASES EXCLUDING THE CRIMINALITY OF THE CRIME
Authors:   the Supreme School of Judges under the Supreme Council of Judges of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Otegenova Luiza
Published: January 2025

In this article, the issues related to the comparative legal analysis of cases excluding the criminality of the act are analyzed. In particular, the theory and practice of the different aspects of the types of cases excluding the criminality of the act and their comparative legal analysis are studied. For example, in the case of necessary defense, the aggressor does not physically or mentally force the defendant to commit a socially dangerous act or threaten to use such coercion, and the article also analyzes that the defendant cannot control his actions (inaction) as a result of such coercion. In addition, it is mentioned that in the case of a necessary defense, the defendant harms the aggressor while protecting his or another personʼs person, rights, society, or state interests from illegal aggression (not third parties). In the article, the author emphasizes that as a type of situation that excludes the criminality of the act, it is damage during the arrest of a person who has committed a socially dangerous act, and that it is important to distinguish between necessary defense and last necessity. According to the author, the source of danger in harming a person who has committed a socially dangerous act is only the fact that this person has committed a crime.
IMPROVING THE LEGAL BASIS OF THE PARTICIPATION OF STATE TAX SERVICE BODIES IN ENSURING TAX DISCIPLINE
Authors:   Tashkent State University of Law, Ergashev Ikrom
Published: January 2025

"This article analyzes the scientific and conceptual basis of the participation of state tax bodies in ensuring tax discipline. Today, these questions have not been deeply studied from a legal point of view. Modern directions and a new vision to increase the efficiency of the participation of state tax bodies in ensuring tax discipline are proposed. Taking into account the fact that within the base of national tax legislation there are no in-depth scientific studies regarding the participation of state tax bodies in ensuring tax discipline, and also the opinions expressed in this scientific article are considered as scientific views, the research work mainly applied the comparative legal method of analysis. Meanwhile, methods of observation, generalization, induction, and deduction were also applied. The participation of state tax authorities in ensuring tax discipline is studied using the experience of foreign countries, the opinions of various foreign and national economists and law scholars, as well as the author’s own analytical considerations. As a result of the study, some problems were discovered with the participation of state tax authorities in ensuring tax discipline, in particular non-compliance with existing rules, and the reasons for their non-compliance were identified. The author analyzes the gaps in legislative rules related to the application of state tax policy and compliance with tax legislation, the correct calculation of taxes, their full and timely payment, as well as the reasons for rapid amendments in by-laws and their impact on taxpayers. In the meantime, it has been established that there are shortcomings in the application of legislation on tax control, and to eliminate them, it is necessary to make some amendments in the regulations. The article presents proposals and recommendations based on an analysis of existing problems in this sphere.

Abstract. Discrepancies persist between modeled simulations and measured sulfate concentrations in the marine boundary layer, especially when the marine air is influenced by biomass burning plumes. However, there has been a notable dearth of research conducted on the interactions between sea-salt aerosol and biomass burning plumes, impeding a comprehensive understanding of sulfate formation. This work studied sulfate formation by mixing real biomass burning (BB) extracts and NaCl, mimicking internal mixtures of BB and sea-salt particles. BB–NaCl particles had a significantly higher sulfate formation rate than incense burning (IS)–NaCl particles. For fresh particles, the sulfate formation rate followed the trend of corn straw (CS)–NaCl > rice straw (RS)–NaCl > wheat straw (WS)–NaCl > IS–NaCl. The filter sample aging was achieved by exposure to OH• generated from UV irradiation. After aging, RS–NaCl particles exhibited the highest enhancement in sulfate formation rates among all the BB–NaCl particles due to interactions between RS and NaCl. Bulk aqueous experiments spiked with NaCl using mixtures of model photosensitizers (PSs) and nitrogen-containing organic compounds (NOCs), pyrazine (CHN), and 4-nitrocatechol (CHON) revealed positive effects of chloride in the PS–CHON system and negative effects in the PS–CHN system in sulfate formation. Our work suggests that BB reaching or near coastal areas can affect sulfate formation via photosensitizer-mediated reactions, potentially exacerbating air pollution.
La sor-horroridad de la monstrua latina: visiones del miedo desde una perspectiva de género en Trabalhar cansa y As boas maneiras de Juliana Rojas y O animal cordial de Gabriela Amaral Almeida
Authors: Hermosilla Órdenes Estefanía Paz
Published: January 2025

El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de analizar el miedo desde una perspectiva de género, a través de tres películas de terror dirigidas por mujeres, Trabalhar cansa y As boas maneiras de Juliana Rojas y O animal cordial de Gabriela Amaral Almeida. El análisis busca, por un lado, dar cuenta de cómo el miedo es una experiencia con marcas de género, raza, clase, identidad y sexualidad que moldean el modo en que las personas viven el terror, y, por otro lado, en conexión a lo anterior, cómo el cine de terror contemporáneo realizado por directoras latinoamericanas se centra en explorar el modo en que las mujeres y disidencias experimentan y ejercen terror. Ambas líneas se analizan desde el contexto latinoamericano, sobre el cual el terror emerge como un fenómeno histórico-cultural que alude al pasado colonial de América Latina y el Caribe. Al respecto, se plantea el concepto de sor-horroridad como contracara de la sororidad, por medio del cual se visibiliza las formas de violencia que las mujeres ejercen contra otras mujeres y disidencias, y cómo ésta es resultado de los privilegios que les otorga el sistema capitalista patriarcal hetero-cis. Se resalta que el sistema crítico que desplegó dialoga permanentemente con Henríquez Ureña y Ángel Rama, con el objetivo, además, de constituir una crítica literaria continental.
Antologías de ciencia ficción argentina: la voluntad de construir un género
Authors: Giuggia Agustina
Published: January 2025

La ciencia ficción es un género que se ha desarrollado y consolidado gracias a la publicación de múltiples revistas especializadas que no solo le han dado un nombre, sino que han funcionado como medio de difusión de nuevos escritores y de creación de un lectorado fiel y apasionado. La contracara de este modo de circulación, asociado a la cultura de masas, es que durante décadas, este género tuvo que enfrentarse a una exclusión sistemática del canon, a la vez que ha tenido que afrontar múltiples circunstancias para ser considerado una forma válida de literatura. Este artículo se propone abordar las antologías de ciencia ficción argentina publicadas en el país a lo largo del siglo XX para analizar, mediante el estudio de sus prólogos y de los textos allí incluidos, el modo en el que un puñado de editores buscó ordenar, difundir y consolidar un género por mucho tiempo desacreditado.

Published: January 2025

This article shares how a team of a librarian and two professors worked together to develop, implement, and support students through a collaborative project for two Communication courses, one in the United States and one in the Czech Republic. In this project, students learned to use Zotero Groups for resource sharing, and sharpened their skills to discover, assess, and contextualize a broad spectrum of media sources. The class was experimental, and the use of Zotero did not go as smoothly as planned. This provided us with additional insights into how use of the tool might work better in the future. We share the success and challenges of that process, with recommendations for future projects.
Von Windhuk nach Auschwitz?
Authors: Zimmerer Jürgen
Published: January 2025

Vierzig Jahre vor dem „Vernichtungskrieg im Osten“ und dem Holocaust verübten deutsche Kolonialtruppen in Deutsch-Südwestafrika den ersten Genozid des 20. Jahrhunderts. „Von Windhuk nach Auschwitz?“ fragt nach dem Verhältnis von Kolonialismus und Nationalsozialismus und nimmt Ge­nozid, „Rassenstaat“ und Zwangsarbeitsregime als Ausgangspunkt einer vergleichenden Betrachtung. Der Band ist ein unverzichtbares Dokument einer Debatte um eine postkoloniale Erweiterung der deutschen Geschichte, wie sie innerhalb der deutschen wie der internationalen Geschichtswissen­schaft intensiv geführt wird, und erlaubt einen frischen Blick sowohl auf die Geschichte des Kolonialismus wie des “Dritten Reiches”

„Zimmerer macht klar, dass der europäische Kolonialismus keineswegs das Vorbild für den Holocaust gewesen sein, ein wichtiger Ideengeber hingegen schon und vielleicht auch ein Grund, weshalb die Ermordung der Juden in der deutschen Gesellschaft nicht im erwarteten Ausmaß als Tabubruch wahrgenommen worden sei.“
(Daniel Marc Segesser, Beiträge zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus 2012)

„Zimmerer has to be commended for having taken German colonial history beyond the confines of a limited approach and putting it more at the centre of German history not only for the period of Imperial Germany, but also, and that is fairly new, for the duration of the Third Reich.“
(Hartmut Pogge von Strandmann, Francia-Recensio 1/2013)

„… the book … raise(s) important and innovative questions for a debate which is complex enough to occupy an entire generation of historians trying to re-write the history of extreme violence in the twentieth century.”
(Stephan Malinowski, The English Historical Review, June 2013)

“Zimmerer is convincing on the importance of this subject, and it deser­ves serious, thoroughgoing treatment.”

Notas sobre la relación [necesaria] entre subjetivación y poder capitalista
Authors: Damián Aldana Ángela
Published: January 2025

Un tema recurrente en aproximaciones marxistas al estudio de la relación entre subjetividad y trabajo es la cuestión de cómo el poder capitalista configura a los individuos en la coyuntura histórica actual. En este trabajo sostenemos que la vinculación entre poder y subjetivación es históricamente contingente, mientras que el poder específicamente capitalista exige necesariamente, por sus condiciones históricas, mecanismos de subjetivación. Solo en el modo capitalista de organizar el metabolismo social es necesaria la producción generalizada de sujetos con vistas a dos objetivos principales: (1) auto-generar las condiciones de existencia para su reproducción como sistema, y (2) garantizar la acumulación privada en forma de capital. Estos objetivos requieren una forma específica de poder, a saber, como dominación social a través de una lógica impersonal. Esta particularidad distingue al capitalismo de modos de producción anteriores, y se basa en la capacidad del capital para insertarse en la brecha entre la vida y sus condiciones de posibilidad. Por tanto,  si podemos mostrar que los mecanismos de subjetivación dependen de las condiciones históricas del modo de producción capitalista, entonces es justo pensar que el modo de salir de este paradigma requiere la necesaria superación de dicha formación social.

Film "A Man Called Otto" yang menceritakan tokoh utama yang mencoba bunuh diri setelah istrinya meninggal menjadi salah satu contohnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan fenomena bunuh diri dari perspektif teori Emile Durkheim serta menganalisis tanda dan simbol dalam film melalui pendekatan semiotika Peirce. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan sumber data berupa adegan dalam film dan kajian pustaka. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis film dan sumber-sumber pendukung lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter Otto mengalami egoistic suicide karena isolasi sosial yang kuat dan anomie suicide akibat hilangnya tujuan hidup. Fenomena tersebut tercermin dalam beberapa adegan bunuh diri yang gagal karena adanya reintegrasi sosial yang perlahan-lahan memulihkan Otto. Faktor sosial memiliki peran penting dalam kecenderungan bunuh diri, dan film ini menawarkan pemahaman yang lebih dalam mengenai pentingnya dukungan sosial dalam mencegah bunuh diri. Perkembangan karakter Otto dan relevansinya dalam kehidupan nyata dapat dijelaskan menggunakan teori bunuh diri Durkheim. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman tentang pencegahan bunuh diri melalui intervensi sosial.

Boiler atau ketel uap merupakan salah satu mesin konversi energi dalam industry yang memiliki peran penting dalam menghasilkan uas (steam) untuk berbagai keperluan seperti Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU). Pada penelitian sebelumnya masih terdapat kekurangan seperti efisiensi termal yang rendah karena penggunaan rasio udara bahan bakar yang belum tepat dan masih menggunakan sistem water level manual. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh rasio udara bahan bakar gas LPG yang optimal serta untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan flame temperatur yang tinggi pada Cross Section Double Drum Water Tube Boiler dengan menggunakan sistem water level control otomatis, agar dapat mendeteksi level ketinggian air. Variabel tetap yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah laju alir bahan bakar sebesar 0,1 kg/min dan level ketinggian air 50%, sedangkan variable bebas yang digunakan, yaitu rasio udara bahan bakar sebesar 17;19;21;23; dan 25. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, diketahui bahwa rasio udara bahan bakar berpengaruh terhadap flame temperature dan efisiensi termal, semakin besar rasio udara bahan bakar maka flame temperatur dan efisiensi termal juga akan semakin tinggi. Nilai rasio udara bahan bakar optimal yang dihasilkan pada penelitian ini, yaitu 23 yang menghasilkan flame temperatur sebesar 795,64oC serta efisiensi termal sebesar 72,56%. Penyesuaian rasio yang tepat dapt mengurangi konsumsi bahan bakar dan meningkatkan output energi tanpa menambah polusi, karena pengaturan rasio udara bahan bakar yang tidak tepat berdampak pada emisi gas buang.

The form of writing skills questions has the same pattern so that students easily and comfortably search for answers on the internet with instant alternatives. Even though practice questions are very important to measure students' abilities and creativity levels. Therefore, this study aims to examine and innovate the instrument for assessing writing skills at the creation level in Arabic textbooks for class VIII MTs published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. This research uses library research. Primary data sources come from Arabic textbooks and secondary data sources come from articles, proceedings, and books that have the theory of Arabic writing skills assessment and HOTS creation level. The results of this study indicate that the writing skills assessment instruments used in Arabic textbooks for class VIII MTs do not yet contain HOTS elements, thus it requires innovation in the creation level thinking skills instruments and seven new creation level instruments are available, namely: make perfect sentences, describe serialized pictures, compose procedure texts, compose paragraphs based on questions, compose invitation letters, and compose descriptive essays. The assessment instrument is explained with an overview of the implementation by containing the cognitive domain of the creation level so that it can be understood and used in the development of Arabic writing skills assessment instruments.

Research evaluating restorative justice programs for domestic and family violence and sexual violence is limited in Australia and internationally. In 2019 the AIC was commissioned to evaluate the Australian Capital Territory’s Restorative Justice Scheme for domestic and family violence and sexual violence (‘Phase Three’). The evaluation examined the process and outcomes of Phase Three, including barriers to delivery, activities delivered and outcomes associated with participation. A range of data was examined, including interviews with participants (n=16) and stakeholders (n=47), analysis of post-conference surveys (n=28) and analysis of administrative and reoffending data. The evaluation demonstrated Phase Three is working effectively overall. Participants and stakeholders report high levels of satisfaction with Phase Three and the service they received. There was evidence that victim-survivors could meet a range of justice needs with varying levels of offender participation and accountability. Some areas for improving referrals were identified.
