ABSTRAKUnsur kerugian keuangan Negara dalam hukum pidana: tindak pidana korupsi, sebagaimana pada Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi mengalami pada mulanya merupakan delik formil, yaitu adanya tindak pidana korupsi cukup dengan dipenuhinya unsur-unsur perbuatan yang sudah dirumuskan bukan dengan timbulnya akibat. Demikian Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 003/PUU-IV/2006 menguatkan konsepsi demikian. Namun, Mahkamah Konstitusi melalui Putusan Nomor 25/PUU-XIV/2016 mengubah secara radikal makna konstitusional unsur kerugian keuangan Negara tersebut menjadi delik materil: menyatakan kata “dapat” dalam Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 Undang-undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi bertentangan dengan Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945 dan tidak mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat. Dengan demikian hilangnya unsur (bestandeel) “dapat” pada kata “merugikan keuangan atau perekonomian Negara” dalam Pasal 2 dan Pasal 3 Undang-undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi akan berdampak signifikan terhadap penuntutannya, sehubungan unsur sebagai nama kumpulan bagi apa yang disebut bestandeel (bestanddelen van het delict) adalah bagian-bagian yang terdapat dalam rumusan delik yang harus dibuktikan, harus dicantumkan di dalam surat tuduhan dan bilamana satu atau lebih bagian ternyata tidak dapat dibuktikan, maka hakim harus membebaskan tertuduh atau dengan kata lain hakim harus memutuskan suatu vrijspraakKata Kunci : Unsur Kerugian Keuangan Negara, Putusan Mahakamah Konstitusi dan Hukum Pidana.

Published: August 2019

Background: Clinical guidelines recommend that optimal management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) should include patient risk stratification. Predicting the anatomical extension of coronary artery disease (CAD) is also potentially useful for clinical decision.

Objective: The objective of our study was to determine whether the TIMI risk score correlates with the angiographic extent and severity of CAD in patients with NSTE- ACS.

Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study carried out in the Department of Cardiology, Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) from September 2017 to May 2018. A total of 200 patients diagnosed with NSTE- Acute Coronary Syndrome were included as sample by purposive sampling method. TIMI risk score for each patient was calculated and the patients were stratified into 3 groups according to the TIMI risk score: low risk (0-2); intermediate risk (3-4); high risk (5-7). The severity of the CAD was assessed by Vessel score and Gensini score.

Result: The mean ± SD of the age of study population was 53.7 ±10.8 years (range 37–77) and 142 (71%) were male. Regarding cardiovascular risk factors, 137 (68.5%) patients had diabetes mellitus, 83 (41.5%) had dyslipidaemia, 155 (77.5%) had hypertension, 136 (68%) were current smoker and 70 (35%) had a family history of CAD. The Gensini score was higher in patients at high risk TIMI group (p<0.001). Moreover, there was a signiûcant positive correlation between the TIMI and Gensini score (r=0.446,p<0.001). TIMI score can predict significant CAD moderately well (area under the curve 0.661, p=0.001). Patients with TIMI score > 4 were more likely to have significant three vessel CAD (65.9%) versus those with TIMI risk score 3-4 (17.9%) and TIMI risk score < 3 (2%) (p< 0.001).

Conclusion: Study showed the TIMI score is significantly correlated with the extent of CAD as assessed by the Gensini score. It is accurate for predicting severe CAD among NSTE-ACS patients.

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has already emerged as the predominant form of heart failure in the western world. We aimed to estimate the frequency and clinical characteristics of HFpEF cohort in Bangladesh as limited data are available about this extremely heterogeneous syndrome.

Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from December, 2017 to December, 2018. A total of 124 heart failure patients were enrolled in the study for the estimation of frequency of HFpEF. Comorbidities and presentation of 30 HFpEF patients were assessed. HFpEF diagnosis was made according to the 2016 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines.

Results: The frequency of HFpEF was 30 (24.1%) (95% confidence interval 16.6% to 31.7%). The mean (SD) age of was 65.0 (10.1) years. Majority of the patients (73.3 %) were between 60 to 79 years of age. Majority of the patients (60%) were male. Most of the patients had multiple comorbidities and risk factors. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor which was present in 80% cases. Dyslipidemia was found in 63.3% cases, DM in 53.3% cases. 36.6% patients had coronary artery disease (CAD). CKD was found in 30% cases. 26.6% patients had atrial fibrillation, which was the most common arrhythmia. 62.0% were overweight to obese. Anemia was found in 55.1% cases. 73.3% patients presented in a decompensated stage of NYHA IV. Breathlessness was the most common (100%) complaint, whereas bilateral lung base crepitations was the most frequent sign (96%).

Conclusions: This study findings has paved the way for characterization of HFPEF in Bangladeshi population but more large scale epidemiological studies are needed.

Acute coronary syndrome is a lethal condition. Treatment modality and success mostly depend on time yielded since onset of symptoms. It is known for more than 30 years that delay between symptom onset and treatment of less than 60 min are desirable, but pre hospital delays remain unacceptably long worldwide including Bangladesh. A greater understanding of the contributing factors may help to reduce delays. A number of sociodemographic, clinical, social and proximal factors have been associated with pre hospital delay. The total pre hospital delay period consists of two component: time taken by patients to recognize that their symptoms are serious and to contact medical help (decision time) and the time taken from requesting help to admission where emergency coronary care is available (time to hospital delay). Different factors may affect these two components. In hospital delay also known as door-to-treatment, is defined as time from arriving to hospital to initiation of reperfusion therapy. Regardless of how to shorten in hospital delay, if the pre hospital delay is not reduced, then reperfusion therapy cannot achieve the best results. We set out to discover what factors are specifically associated with three components: decision time, home to hospital delay and First Medical Contact (FMC) to revascularization delay. This review may help the National health management system to identify the factors associated with treatment delay in ACS and thus reduces ACS related morbidity and mortality.

Published: August 2019

It has been widely recognised that a significant proportion of the world’s population suffer inequalities in accessing high quality healthcare and wider services. Within healthcare, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to public health affecting all healthcare systems and growing at an alarming pace. To ensure that national AMR campaigns developed by Public Health England are inclusive of all populations within the target audience a health equity assessment tool (HEAT) was used. The project leads for each campaign completed the HEAT independently with a follow up meeting with the study team to discuss and clarify the responses. A trend analysis was carried out with common themes being used to provide recommendations. The campaigns have demonstrated equality and diversity based on the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, particularly age, sex, and race protected characteristics. Some notable results include the translation of website materials in over 30 languages and reaching individuals in 122 countries. It was however noted that several of the protected characteristics were not applicable. The continuous development of resources with collaboration from a variety of diverse user groups would be advantageous towards aiding future campaign reach. The use of the HEAT has demonstrated the ease and cost-effective way to assess any health inequalities and would be a useful addition to antimicrobial stewardship and public health campaigns.
Adsorption and Sensing Behaviors of Pd-Doped InN Monolayer upon CO and NO Molecules: A First-Principles Study
Authors: Zhu Shiyuan , Ma Shouxiao
Published: August 2019

A transition metal (TM) doped InN monolayer has demonstrated with superior behavior for gas adsorption and sensing. For this paper, we studied the adsorption behavior of a Pd-doped InN (Pd-InN) monolayer upon CO and NO using the first-principles theory. Our results show that the Pd-InN monolayer has a stronger interaction with the CO molecule, compared with the NO molecule, with larger adsorption energy of 2.12 eV, compared to −1.65 eV. On the other hand, the Pd-InN monolayer undergoes more obvious deformation of the electronic behavior in the NO system, making the surface become semimetallic with a 0 eV band gap. Thus, the Pd-InN monolayer could be a promising candidate as a resistance-type sensor for NO detection and as a gas adsorbent for CO removal. We are hopeful that this work can offer the basic physicochemical properties and potential applications of the Pd-InN monolayer, which is beneficial for its further exploration in many fields.
Speech Enhancement Using Generative Adversarial Network by Distilling Knowledge from Statistical Method
Authors: Wu Jianfeng , Hua Yongzhu , Yang Shengying , Qin Hongshuai , Qin Huibin
Published: August 2019

This paper presents a new deep neural network (DNN)-based speech enhancement algorithm by integrating the distilled knowledge from the traditional statistical-based method. Unlike the other DNN-based methods, which usually train many different models on the same data and then average their predictions, or use a large number of noise types to enlarge the simulated noisy speech, the proposed method does not train a whole ensemble of models and does not require a mass of simulated noisy speech. It first trains a discriminator network and a generator network simultaneously using the adversarial learning method. Then, the discriminator network and generator network are re-trained by distilling knowledge from the statistical method, which is inspired by the knowledge distillation in a neural network. Finally, the generator network is fine-tuned using real noisy speech. Experiments on CHiME4 data sets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a more robust performance than the compared DNN-based method in terms of perceptual speech quality.
Generation and Characterization of Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum in Bulk YAG Pumped by Femtosecond 1937 nm Pulses from a Regenerative Amplifier
Authors: Rezvani Seyed Ali , Nomura Yutaka , Fuji Takao
Published: August 2019

We have demonstrated the generation of supercontinuum (SC) pulses in bulk, using femtosecond pulses directly derived from a Tm:YAP regenerative amplifier. The SC spans from 380 nm–4 μ m. Such an SC combined with the applied 1937-nm pump pulse can be used in a mid-infrared optical parametric amplifier (MIR-OPA). A full characterization of the phase and stability of the SC provides important insight into the performance of such MIR-OPA systems. Using cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG), we characterized the properties of the MIR section of the SC that can be used as a seed pulse in an MIR-OPA system. The pulse-to-pulse instability rooted in the intrinsic properties of the self-phase modulation process was observed in the retrieved trace and spectrum of the SC. In addition, the effect of the pump pulse quality was studied on the obtainable SC pulses.

Published: August 2019

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are successfully used in many fields such as navigation, meteorology, military tasks, mapping, virtual fencing, and more. Smart collars are currently the most convenient device for determining animal location in virtual fencing systems, however; these systems are still suffering from environmental effects and propagation in direct visibility. These types of side effects may reduce the work of GPS receivers. The current article defines a method for improving animal location accuracy using a virtual fence smart collar worn around the animal’s neck by the aid of maximum probability of movement from one point to another. The proposed approach first checks the current position of the animal, and after receiving a GPS signal from satellites it calculates the distance between the two GPS signals. Secondly, the method checks the animal’s behavior for the receiving period of the two points. Finally, the approach calculates a probability of maximum animal movement for the two-point receiving period. If the animal can pass the distance in the time frame of the two signals, then the second signal is taken as the correct position; otherwise, the point is taken which the animal could pass. Real-time animal behavior is classified using Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed method was verified within seven days of experiments. Consequently, the proposed approach experiments were sufficiently successful. The recreated locations from our approach appeared very close to the real point. The mean average of passed distance by the marked line decreased to 16.2, 5, 0 m for running, walking, and resting conditions, respectively. On the other hand, the unfiltered geolocations of the GPS receiver, give results significantly further from the animal’s actual position such as 148.8, 182.7, 136.2 m for running, walking, and resting conditions.
Precise Flowrate Control of Fluid Gear Pumps in Automated Painting Systems Using a Repetitive Controller
Authors: Park Kiyang , Chang Minsu , Jeon Doyoung
Published: August 2019

The fluid gear pump-based system has repetitive disturbances, such as flow ripples, due to the mechanical characteristics of the gear system. The periodic disturbances have negative effects on the precise flowrate control, which is essential for consistent coating quality in the painting process. This study proposes a precise flowrate control method of the fluid gear pump-based painting system to compensate for the periodic disturbances. The compensation value of the controller output can be obtained by a repetitive controller. A compensation lookup table corresponding to the reference speed and the rotation angle can be generated through the repetitive controller. In order to secure robustness against various situations, a closed-loop system consists of the conventional proportional-derivative (PD) controller and a compensation lookup table in the form of the feedforward controller. The lookup table-based feedforward controller was compared with the open-loop controller and PD controller. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than existing controllers in terms of periodic disturbance compensation. By using the results of this study, it is possible to improve the performance of the fluid gear pump-based painting system and precisely control the paint spray amount.

Published: August 2019

In this article, a method of error source analysis and detection to improve the angle measurement accuracy of rotary encoders in precision measuring instruments is proposed. The angle measurement error caused by the installation eccentricity of the grating disk and the radial error motion of the rotating shaft is analyzed, and the error model is built. The method of measuring the radial error motion is introduced, and the visual system and image processing technology is proposed to detect the eccentricity. The verification experiment by the use of an autocollimator and a polygon is carried out. The residual error after comparison within ±6″ accounts for 9% of the angle measurement error. The proposed error model is verified, and the angle measurement error can be predicted if the installation eccentricity and radial error motion are known.
Holographic Reconstruction of Objects in a Mixed-Reality, Post-Truth Era: A Personal Essay
Authors: Harman Mary
Published: August 2019

The ephemeral holographic image is an appropriate medium to express the nature of reality and illusion, an early interest I explored with trompe-l’œil painting. To make a representational hologram, one needs a worthy object to copy, and one that is hand-made by the artist adds to the unity of the work. The resulting copy physically resembles the original, and when both are placed together in the final composition, the material object now has an immaterial, metaphysical presence one could identify as soul. In this paper, I present a recent artwork that exhibits these characteristics, and the theme of Reality, Truth and Lie is firmly placed within the current political context. The historical background to my work, relevant aspects of the technical process, and closer analysis of the ambiguities inherent in the hologram are all noted in my narrative, and I add my own personal comments and opinions. One invaluable source has been the published accounts of other artists/holographers who describe their own experience in holography, a medium that fuels ideas rather than being only a tool to express them.
Electron Impact Excitation of S III: An Assessment
Authors: Aggarwal Kanti M.
Published: August 2019

In a recent paper, Tayal et al. (Astrophys. J. Suppl. 2019, 242, 9) reported results for energy levels, radiative rates (A-values), and effective collision strengths ( Υ ) for transitions among the 198 levels of Si-like S III. For the calculations, they adopted the multi-configuration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) code for the energy levels and A-values and the B-spline R-matrix (BSR) code for Υ . Their reported results appear to be accurate for energy levels and A-values, but not for Υ . Through our independent calculations by adopting the flexible atomic code (FAC), we demonstrate that their reported results for Υ are underestimated, by up to a factor of two, and at all temperatures, particularly for the allowed transitions, but some forbidden ones as well. Additionally, for transitions involving the higher levels, the behaviour of their Υ results is not correct.

Published: August 2019

The determination of coulombic efficiency of the lithium-ion batteries can contribute to comprehend better their degradation behavior. In this research, the coulombic efficiency and capacity loss of three lithium-ion batteries at different current rates (C) were investigated. Two new battery cells were discharged and charged at 0.4 C and 0.8 C for twenty times to monitor the variations in the aging and coulombic efficiency of the battery cell. In addition, prior cycling was applied to the third battery cell which consist of charging and discharging with 0.2 C, 0.4 C, 0.6 C, and 0.8 C current rates and each of them twenty times. The coulombic efficiency of the new battery cells was compared with the cycled one. The experiments demonstrated that approximately all the charge that was stored in the battery cell was extracted out of the battery cell, even at the bigger charging and discharging currents. The average capacity loss rates for discharge and charge during 0.8 C were approximately 0.44% and 0.45% per cycle, correspondingly.

Published: August 2019

Human adenoviruses are large (150 MDa) doubled-stranded DNA viruses that cause respiratory infections. These viruses are particularly pathogenic in healthy and immune-compromised individuals, and currently, no adenovirus vaccine is available for the general public. The purpose of this review is to describe (i) the epidemiology and pathogenicity of human adenoviruses, (ii) the biological role of adenovirus vectors in gene therapy applications, and (iii) the potential role of exosomes in adenoviral infections.

Interferon (IFN) β and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) are key players in immunity against viruses. Compelling evidence has shown that the antiviral and inflammatory transcriptional response induced by IFNβ is reprogrammed by crosstalk with TNF. IFNβ mainly induces interferon-stimulated genes by the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway involving the canonical ISGF3 transcriptional complex, composed of STAT1, STAT2, and IRF9. The signaling pathways engaged downstream of the combination of IFNβ and TNF remain elusive, but previous observations suggested the existence of a response independent of STAT1. Here, using genome-wide transcriptional analysis by RNASeq, we observed a broad antiviral and immunoregulatory response initiated in the absence of STAT1 upon IFNβ and TNF costimulation. Additional stratification of this transcriptional response revealed that STAT2 and IRF9 mediate the expression of a wide spectrum of genes. While a subset of genes was regulated by the concerted action of STAT2 and IRF9, other gene sets were independently regulated by STAT2 or IRF9. Collectively, our data supports a model in which STAT2 and IRF9 act through non-canonical parallel pathways to regulate distinct pool of antiviral and immunoregulatory genes in conditions with elevated levels of both IFNβ and TNF.
Interplay between Intrinsic and Innate Immunity during HIV Infection

Published: August 2019

Restriction factors are antiviral components of intrinsic immunity which constitute a first line of defense by blocking different steps of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication cycle. In immune cells, HIV infection is also sensed by several pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), leading to type I interferon (IFN-I) and inflammatory cytokines production that upregulate antiviral interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Several studies suggest a link between these two types of immunity. Indeed, restriction factors, that are generally interferon-inducible, are able to modulate immune responses. This review highlights recent knowledge of the interplay between restriction factors and immunity inducing antiviral defenses. Counteraction of this intrinsic and innate immunity by HIV viral proteins will also be discussed.
Crack Growth Tests in Air Plasma-Sprayed Yttria Coatings for Alumina Ceramic Matrix Composites
Authors: Hackemann Stefan , Bartsch Marion
Published: August 2019

Yttria coatings for all-oxide combustor walls were tested for their crack-growth behavior. These environmental and thermal barrier Y2O3-coatings were processed by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The stiffness and strength were measured for as-received and aged samples that were heat treated at 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C for a 10 h dwell time. The results show a clear development with respect to the aging conditions. The changes of the modulus and the bending strength indicate that the microstructural changes are not completed, even after aging at 1200 °C for 10 h. The fracture toughness was tested for different orientations on samples aged at 1200 °C. Bending tests as well as indentation experiments were conducted. Furthermore, a bending device was designed to observe the crack-growth in situ. The device had to be rigid and is driven by a piezo stack. The crack growth resistance shows differences in the rise of the R-curves for different orientations of the crack propagation. This is in agreement with the microstructure that results from the plasma spray process.

Published: August 2019

A new preconcentration method to determine lead in environmental waters using the aminosilanized magnetite Fe3O4 powder sorbent has been developed. The preconcentration method was combined with electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and a graphite atomizer. Trace amount of sorbent (3 mg) could be applied into the preconcentration of Pb. According the preconcentration, the detection limits were 14 and 19 pg·mL−1 with bare and aminosilanized Fe3O4, respectively. The effect of interferent elements such as Al, Ca, Co, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Ni, and Zn (1000 ng·mL−1 versus Pb 1 ng·mL−1) on the preconcentration of Pb using bare magnetite was evaluated, and some elements (Al, Ni, and Zn) were found to interfere with the Pb preconcentration. The aminosilanized Fe3O4 sorbent was found to be effective in eliminating the severe interferences. The enrichment factors were 34 for the preconcentration with aminosilanized Fe3O4. The recovery of spiked Pb in the case of the sorbent with aminosilanized Fe3O4 was in the range of 75 to 110%. From the analytical data, the preconcentration technique was found to be useful for the determination of trace lead in environmental waters.

Published: August 2019

In this study, PLA/TiO2 composites materials were prepared via electrospinning and solution casting processes. By testing the mechanical properties, water contact angle, water vapor permeability, and solubility of the composite nanofibers and films, the comprehensive performances of the two types of nanocomposites were analyzed. The results show that maximum tensile strengths of 2.71 ± 0.11 MPa and 14.49 ± 0.13 MPa were achieved for the nanofibers and films at a TiO2 content of 0.75 wt.%. Moreover, the addition of TiO2 significantly cut down the water vapor transmittance rate of the nanofibers and films while significantly improving the water solubility. Further, the antibacterial activity increased under UV-A irradiation for a TiO2 nanoparticle content of 0.75 wt.%, and the nanofiber and films exhibited inhibition zones of 4.86 ± 0.50 and 3.69 ± 0.40 mm for E. coli, and 5.98 ± 0.77 and 4.63 ± 0.45 mm for S. aureus, respectively. Overall, the performance of the nanofiber was better than that of the film. Nevertheless, both the nanocomposite membranes satisfied the requirements of food packaging materials.
A Modification of the Fast Inverse Square Root Algorithm
Authors: Walczyk Cezary J. , Moroz Leonid V. , Cieśliński Jan L.
Published: August 2019

We present a new algorithm for the approximate evaluation of the inverse square root for single-precision floating-point numbers. This is a modification of the famous fast inverse square root code. We use the same “magic constant” to compute the seed solution, but then, we apply Newton–Raphson corrections with modified coefficients. As compared to the original fast inverse square root code, the new algorithm is two-times more accurate in the case of one Newton–Raphson correction and almost seven-times more accurate in the case of two corrections. We discuss relative errors within our analytical approach and perform numerical tests of our algorithm for all numbers of the type float.

Published: August 2019

Recent developments in optical filters have enabled the facile use of Raman spectroscopy for detection of low frequency (LF) vibrational modes. LF-Raman spectroscopy offers fast and sensitive characterization of LF vibrations, and enables the measurement of single microcrystals and detection of defects. It is useful for probing intermolecular interactions in crystals, which are lower in energy, such as hydrogen bonds, shear modes, and breathing modes. Crystal excitation from multiple faces allows learning the orientation of intermolecular interactions, as polarization dependence varies with the polarizability of the interactions along the planes. Elucidating the orientations of the intermolecular interactions in organic crystals is essential for guiding the reactions or adsorption to a specific crystal face. In this study, we investigated the dependence of the LF-Raman signal intensity on the orientation of an organic single microcrystal of L-alanine. Three incident beam directions provided the orientations of the intermolecular interactions by analyzing the corresponding LF-Raman spectra. The signal intensity correlated well with the proximity between the incident beam’s direction and the orientations of the intermolecular interactions. Excellent compatibility was found between the spectra and simulated orientations based on structural information.
