TINJAUAN YURIDIS TANGGUNG JAWAB SAKSI INSTRUMENTAIR TERHADAP ISI AKTA NOTARIS
Authors: Tauratiya Tauratiya , Danni Rahmat
Published: April 2024

Tulisan ini membahas tentang tanggung jawab saksi instrumentair dalam akta Notaris yang dianggap menjadi syarat formal dalam pembuatan akta notaris. Dalam UUJN tidak terdapat aturan/batasan yang jelas mengenai apa kewajiban dan tanggung jawab saksi instrumentair ketika akta notaris tersebut dijadikan alat bukti di persidangan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis normative dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Bahan hukum utama penelitian ini berupa bahan-bahan kepustakaan seperti peraturan perundang-undangan, literature, buku-buku lain yang berkaitan dengan penelitian. Hasil kajian menunjukan jika dilihat dari sifat kedudukannya sebagai saksi instrumentair, maka para saksi turut mendengarkan pembacaan akta, menyaksikan perbuatan hukum dan ikut dalam penandatanganan akta Notaris. Dalam hal ini para saksi tidak diharuskan untuk mengerti apa yang dibacakan oleh Notaris terhadap akta itu, dan tidak bertanggung jawab terhadap isi akta tersebut. Jika di kemudian hari akta yang ditandatangani ternyata menimbulkan permasalahan dan menjadi alat bukti di persidangan, maka mengingat saksi instrumentair kapasitasnya hanya pegawai yang difungsikan oleh Notaris untuk mempersiapkan akta dan untuk memenuhi formalitas dalam pembuatan akta otentik, maka secara hukum tidak bisa dituntut terkait substansi akta yang ditandatanganinya.

Published: April 2024

Sinaxonopsis Yi and Jin, 2012 was erected based on S. unicucrus from China. In this paper, one more species new to science, Sinaxonopsis hainanensis sp. nov. is described from China. Sinaxonopsis unicucrus Yi and Jin, 2012, is redescribed with more details, including information on the glandularia and patches of the large posterior dorsal plate, among others. Using scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, this work has clarified that the dorsoglandularia D4 do indeed have glands, and that the phenomenon of missing glands is absent on the dorsal plate of Sinaxonopsis, which occurs in some genera of Aturidae. Sixteen pairs of glandularia and two pairs of ocularia of Sinaxonopsis are consistent with the common patterns in water mites.

Published: April 2024

A general limitation of ecological investigations based on nematodes is related to the difficult and time-consuming taxonomic identification of species. Therefore, nematologists are investing many efforts to develop alternative approaches as proxies applicable in biomonitoring assessment. Recently, an alternative method that combines morpho-functional traits was proposed for detecting assemblage changes of marine nematodes. In view of the promising results, it was tested the same approach to document taxonomic structure changes of soil free-living and plant parasitic nematodes. Specifically, this attempt was carried out using three data sets that include studies from various European regions and different types of ecosystems: forests, grasslands and maize crops. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that the simple combination of the four traits (i.e., buccal cavity cuticularization occurrence, amphideal fovea size and shape, morphology of the cuticle and pharynx) in a single code number perfectly mirrors the taxonomic structure trends of the nematode assemblage at genus level. Therefore, we predict that similar results can be also obtained by directly encoding nematode specimens with the selected traits and we point to new important advances if this procedure can be coupled with advanced machine learning.

Published: April 2024

Potholes detection is an essential aspect of road safety and road infrastructure maintenance. Potholes, which are typically caused by a combination of heavy traffic and weather, are depressions or holes in the road surface that can cause damage to specific parts of a vehicle. Autonomous vehicles, in particular, must be capable of detecting and avoiding them. Hitting a deep or sharp-edged pothole at high speed can lead to loss of control or even an accident. This makes pothole detection all the more important. The accuracy of pothole detection systems installed in autonomous vehicles may be significantly impaired by adverse weather and bad light conditions. Therefore, the classification accuracy of selected well-known computer vision models for pothole detection under these specific conditions has been investigated. The results were then compared with state-of-the-art methods. Our findings showed that we outperformed many of them when used under adverse weather and low light situations. This paper presents valuable insights into the precision of various computer vision models for potholes detection. It may aid in selecting the optimal model for a specific application.

Authors: Budiani Annisa , Arjentinia Putu Gede Yudhi , Jayanti Putu Devi
Published: April 2024

Chronic rhinitis in cats is a syndrome associated with inflammation of the nasal cavity; it is often associated with secondary infection of the frontal sinuses, and usually lasts more than 1 month. This case study aims to determine the conclusion of several supporting examinations performed to diagnose chronic rhinitis in cats and its treatment. Examination was made on a 3-year-old female local cat with a body weight of 2.65 kg with a history of nasal discharge since approximately 2 years ago, sneezing, and occasionally followed by coughing with harsh-sounding breath. Physical examination showed a rough sound or stridor when the cat breathed, mucopurulent discharge in both nostrils, sneezing with high frequency and occasionally followed by coughing. Cytologic examination of nasal swab revealed rod-shaped bacteria, degenerate and non-degenerate infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and plasma cells. Mild interstitial pattern in the lung, and increased opacity or ring-like opacities ("donuts") at some bronchial ends were observed on radiographic examination. Bacterial growth and identification tests were positive for Proteus sp. bacteria. The cat was diagnosed with chronic rhinitis with bronchitis and treated with Cefixime antibiotic (12 mg/kg BW; q12 h; PO), anti-inflammatory corticosteroid Methylprednisolone (2 mg/kg BW; q24 h; PO) with tappering off dose, mucolytic decongestant Bromhexin HCL (1 mg/kg BW; q24 hours; PO), and immunomodulator Caviplex (2 ml; q24 hours; PO). Treatment for 14 days showed an improvement in the cat's condition where nasal discharge that was previously mucopurulent became serous and at certain times no discharge was found, the frequency of sneezing and coughing decreased, and the cat could eat and drink comfortably. The decision to select an antibacterial agent to treat rhinitis should be made based on the results of pharyngeal and nasal discharge swab cultures.

A case of Streptococcus mutans endocarditis with cardiac surgical indication and complicated by spondylodiscitis after multiple dental procedures without antibiotic prophylaxis
Authors: Mazzotta Ruggero , Ciardetti Niccolò , Del Pace Stefano , Di Mario Carlo , Stefàno Pierluigi
Published: April 2024

Background:

The association between Streptococcus mutans infective endocarditis and spondylodiscitis is extremely rare (only one case reported in the literature). Invasive dental procedures are known to increase the risk of infective endocarditis. European Society of Cardiology 2023 guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxis only in high-risk patients. However, these new guidelines do not consider the number of dental procedures performed in a short period of time.

Case Presentation:

We report the case of a patient affected by S. mutans infective endocarditis complicated by lumbar spondylodiscitis as a consequence of the performance of multiple dental procedures without antibiotic prophylaxis; this may be the first case characterized by this association and requiring cardiac surgery.

Conclusion:

These infective events occurred despite a proper interpretation of current guidelines about antibiotic prophylaxis but we believe that a case-by-case evaluation is useful to reduce the incidence of these complications. Specifically, it could be that the risk of developing endocarditis depends not only on the patient’s risk category but also on the number of dental procedures performed in a short period of time.

Published: April 2024

There is a dearth of clearly defined thresholds to guide the application of neuromonitoring modalities in temporary vessel occlusion techniques. We report a case series exploring the utility of various neuromonitoring techniques during temporary vessel occlusion procedures. We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients, who underwent temporary vessel occlusion procedures over a two-year period and examined the neuromonitors employed in temporary vessel occlusion procedures including balloon occlusion test (BOT). We found complete details of nine patients, who were managed with the use of the following neuromonitors: cerebral oximetry, electrical activity monitors, evoked potential monitors, and transcranial Doppler. A literature search identified other studies reporting utilization of adjuvant neuromonitoring in these procedures. Although multiple sensors could be concurrently attached to patients without impeding image acquisition in patients undergoing BOT, our review of the literature and our own findings revealed a lack of consistent correlation with outcome, particularly concerning near-infrared spectroscopy values.

Published: April 2024

Objectives:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the developing brain in the pediatric population. This study aims to look at the outcomes of moderate and severe TBI over a five-year follow-up to look for the long-term sequelae of head injury in the pediatric population.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective observational study was conducted after obtaining the permission of the Institutional Ethics Committee with the primary study participants admitted between 2015 and 2017 with follow-up extending up to 2022 in 118 pediatric patients, aged between 1 and 15 years who required admission in the pediatric intensive care unit with moderate and severe TBI.

Results:

Language impairment was noted in 33.63% (n = 37) patients during early follow-up, and 12 of them continued to have impaired language skills and communication at the end of five years. With regard to school functioning, children had more difficulty in the arithmetic domain (n = 33) compared to language domains (n = 17). While the parents noted improvements in scholastic performances, some degree of difficulty in learning was noted in most of the children, who sustained TBI. Despite these difficulties, 27 out of 41 participants, who gave their higher secondary examinations have gone on to pursue undergraduate courses in colleges.

Conclusion:

Our study indicates that over the passage of time, children tend to have a reasonable chance at recovery, and with the potential for plasticity, early and aggressive rehabilitative services may enable the child to have a decent quality of life and in selected cases, even an independent life.

Emergence of molecular structures from repository-scale self-supervised learning on tandem mass spectra
Authors: Bushuiev Roman , Bushuiev Anton , Samusevich Raman , Brungs Corinna , Sivic Josef , Pluskal Tomáš
Published: April 2024

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is the primary method for characterizing biological and environmental samples at a molecular level. Despite this, the interpretation of tandem mass spectra remains a challenge. Existing computational methods for predictions from mass spectra heavily rely on limited spectral libraries and on hard-coded human expertise. Here we introduce a transformer-based neural network pre-trained in a self-supervised way on millions of unannotated tandem mass spectra from our new GeMS (GNPS Experimental Mass Spectra) dataset mined from the MassIVE GNPS repository. We show that pre-training our model to predict masked spectral peaks and chromatographic retention orders leads to the emergence of rich representations of molecular structures, which we name DreaMS (Deep Representations Empowering the Annotation of Mass Spectra). Fine-tuning the pre-trained neural network to predict spectral similarity, molecular fingerprints, chemical properties, and the presence of fluorine from tandem mass spectra yields state-of-the-art performance across all the tasks. This underscores the practical utility of DreaMS across diverse mass spectrum interpretation tasks and establishes it as a stepping stone for future advances in the field. We make our new dataset and pre-trained models available to the community and release the DreaMS Atlas - a molecular network of 201 million MS/MS spectra constructed using DreaMS annotations.
Fluorophore Concentration Controls the Homo-FRET Efficiency and Directionality across Proteins both in Solution and in Solid Protein Matrices
Authors: Agam Yuval , Ramanthrikkovil Variyam Ambili , Amdursky Nadav
Published: April 2024

Light harvesting in nature is one of the most important processes, starting with the absorption of light by chromophores within proteins and the transfer of energy from one another via the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism. If the energy is transferred between identical chromophores, the resulting is Homo-FRET. Here, we introduce an artificial system that allows us to control the number of chromophores within a certain protein and to decipher the mechanism of Homo-FRET in proteins in ways not possible in biological systems. We follow Homo-FRET by ultrafast fluorescence anisotropy measurements. We show that for solvated proteins, the mechanism, rate, and efficiency of Homo-FRET are highly dependent on the number of chromophores within the protein. However, in the solid protein matrix, the mechanism remains the same as the number of chromophores increases, but the solid matrix allows long-range Homo-FRET, resulting in full depolarization. The observed higher-than-ideal Homo-FRET contribution to the observed fluorescence anisotropy decay together with the reduction in the limiting anisotropy suggest a mixed coherent-incoherent mechanism of energy transfer.
CULTIVATING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS: INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) FOR SAFER AND GREENER AGRONOMY
Authors: Sharma Shikha
Published: April 2024

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) provides a sustainable and ecologically sound approach to address the continuous threat posed by pests in agriculture. This comprehensive review explores the implementation of IPM within agronomic systems, covering a range of strategies such as cultural practices, biological control, host plant resistance, and physical/mechanical control. Cultural practices involve modifying agricultural operations to create an unfavorable environment for insect multiplication and prevent pest population buildup, while biological control utilizes beneficial insects to combat pests. Host plant resistance entails developing crop varieties with inherent resistance to pests, reducing the need for chemical interventions. Physical and mechanical control methods offer eco-friendly alternatives, involving physical barriers and trapping techniques to manage localized pest outbreaks. Decision-making in IPM involves evaluating pest populations, economic thresholds, and phenological forecasts to determine appropriate control measures. Success stories demonstrate the real-world application and potential benefits of IPM in diverse agricultural settings. However, challenges such as limited farmer knowledge and access to resources, as well as resistance management, hinder widespread adoption. Exciting opportunities lie in digital technologies, precision agriculture, biotechnological innovations, and climate-resilient strategies. Strengthened farmer training, public-private collaborations, and informed decision-making are crucial for the successful future of IPM, ensuring sustainable food production and global food security.

Shu embroidery, as a precious cultural heritage of Bashu, has been given great importance by relevant departments in China regarding its inheritance and development. However, its market at home and abroad remains unsatisfactory due to its limited product diversity and other reasons. Against the backdrop of the Belt and Road Initiative, it is crucial to examine whether Shu embroidery can be promoted to countries along the Silk Road. This paper delves into the challenges facing the development of Shu embroidery and its overseas promotion and puts forth several critical solutions for its cross-cultural dissemination under the Belt and Road Initiative. These measures will help to steer the direction of the cross-cultural transmission of Bashu culture via Shu embroidery, making a significant contribution to cultural exchanges across nations.
Analysis of cryptographic protocols using logics of belief: an overview
Authors: Monniaux David
Published: April 2024

When designing a cryptographic protocol or explaining it, one often uses arguments such as ``since this message was signed by machine B, machine A can be sure it came from B`` in informal proofs justifying how the protocol works. Since it is, in such informal proofs, often easy to overlook an essential assumption, such as a trust relation or the belief that a message is not a replay from a previous session, it seems desirable to write such proofs in a formal system. While such logics do not replace the recent techniques of automatic proofs of safety properties, they help in pointing the weaknesses of the system. In this paper, we present briefly the BAN (Burrows-Abadi-Needham) formal system [10, 11] as well as some derivative. We show how to prove some properties of a~simple protocol, as well as detecting undesirable assumptions. We then explain how the manual search for proofs can be made automatic. Finally, we explain how the lack of proper semantics can be a bit worrying.
ideal early childhood teacher?
Authors: Gould Kiri
Published: April 2024

In policy, teachers are persistently positioned as central to improving the quality of early childhood education and care (ECEC). They are frequently the targets for policy reform that proactively seeks to shape teaching priorities and practices. The constructions of teachers in policy shape notions of ideal professional identities, opening up spaces for certain identities and closing spaces for others. This critical discourse analysis of seven key ECEC policy texts assembles a range of discourses to identify and critically examine two prevalent and distinct 'ideal' professional identities for early childhood teachers: The Professional and The Kaiako.
The Application of Comprehensive Materials in the Course of Oil Painting Creation in Universities
Authors: Zhou Jianquan
Published: April 2024

The continuous development of modern art concepts has brought increased attention to the application of comprehensive materials in oil painting. These materials not only enrich the expression of oil painting but also offer artists more creative space. In Chinese universities, the utilization of comprehensive materials has emerged as a significant teaching content and research focus within the oil painting creation course. This paper aims to explore the application of comprehensive materials in university oil painting creation courses and its impact on teaching methodologies. The goal is to offer new perspectives and practical approaches to oil painting instruction in Chinese universities.

Authors: Sun Haopu
Published: April 2024

In recent years, with the upgrading and transformation of the rural industrial structure, rural revitalization has emerged as a crucial strategy for China’s rural development. Talent has become the key factor in driving rural revitalization forward. Against the backdrop of rural revitalization, the imperative to enhance the quality of rural personnel training and cultivate professionals who possess a deep understanding of agriculture, harbor an affinity for rural life, and champion the cause of rural development has become a paramount concern for colleges and universities. In this context, this paper undertakes an analysis of the value implications of the “government-school-enterprise” cooperative education model within the framework of rural revitalization. Furthermore, it outlines a roadmap for the construction of the “government-school-enterprise” cooperative education model, offering valuable insights for future endeavors in this area.
Research on the Teaching Reform of Pre-Primary Education Specialty Practice Course Under the Demand Orientation
Authors: Wen Binning
Published: April 2024

With the further deepening of preschool education reform in China, high-quality preschool teachers have become highly sought-after in the job market, thereby creating more job opportunities for students studying preschool education. Colleges and universities should align their curriculum with the demands of the industry by optimizing the teaching practice system for preschool education courses, establishing off-campus training bases, and regularly organizing student placements in kindergartens. They should also prioritize employment-oriented approaches by collaborating with kindergartens to develop practical courses tailored to preschool education, thereby enhancing the curriculum system. To enrich the teaching staff, a “double tutor” teacher team should be established, integrating kindergarten teachers as part-time instructors to create a professional and diversified teaching faculty. Additionally, a teaching evaluation system focusing on post-competence should be implemented to foster the holistic development of students, consequently enhancing the quality of preschool education personnel training.

Marian Kuna: Etika a politika v perspektíve Alasdaira MacIntyra
Authors: Synek Stanislav
Published: April 2024

Studie nejprve stručně rekapituluje obsah knihy Mariana Kuny (Etika a politika v perspektivě Alasdaira MacIntyra) a snaží se ji kriticky zhodnotit. Poté se krátce věnuje dvěma tématům, klíčovým jak pro MacIntyra, tak pro jmenovanou knihu: otázce „univerzálních ctností“ a otázce pravdy. Zdá se totiž, že právě tyto dvě oblasti nejsou ani u jednoho ze zmiňovaných autorů uspokojivě řešeny.The study summarizes the book by Marian Kuna (Etika a politika v perspektivě Alasdaira MacIntyra) and aims to critically evaluate it. Then it gives a brief account of two topics crucial to both MacIntyre and Kuna: the problem of “universal virtues” and the problem of truth. It seems that neither of these is handled adequately in the works of the mentioned authors.

Trest jako věc veřejná
Authors: Sobek Tomáš
Published: April 2024

Praxe trestání obvykle zahrnuje utrpení pachatele, a to je něco, co si vyžaduje nějaké ospravedlnění. Můžeme formulovat retributivistické ospravedlnění, podle kterého si pachatel zaslouží trpět, protože spáchal něco špatného. Nebo konsekvencialistické ospravedlnění, že bychom měli trestat, abychom odstrašovali od trestné činnosti, znemožňovali pachatelům další trestnou činnost, příp. abychom je napravili. Snažíme se držet zásady, že za stejný čin má být stejný trest, jenomže různí lidé vnímají stejný trest s různou intenzitou. Navíc, už samotný pojem sankce můžeme chápat více způsoby: v úzce ekonomickém smylu jako cenu za delikt, nebo moralisticky jako emočně podbarvený apel na svědomí pachatele.
