Pengelolaan Data Terintegrasi Berdasarkan Instrumen Akreditasi Perguruan Tinggi 3.0 Menggunakan Zachman Framework
Authors: Primadewi Ardhin , Hanafi Mukhtar
Published: December 2020

Higher education in Indonesia is regulated by the government with the Higher Education Accreditation (APT). In APT 3.0, Higher Education is required to be able to present performance data in the form of a Higher Education Performance Report (LKPT) as a reference in making a Self-Evaluation Report (LED). However, it is necessary to have an in-depth analysis to determine the gaps in the data required by Higher Education according to the APT 3.0 standard. The process of integrating the samples refer to the Zachman Framework (ZF). The results of this simplification that the data is available in support of APT 3.0 approximately 79% of the total data both inside and outside the core business of Higher Education and is well managed in an integrated database. The remaining 21% of the data that are not available is spread across several information systems, especially SIMMawa, SIMHumas and Cooperation, and SIMAKU. This shows that the change in accreditation standards that have been in effect since April 2019 has created a significant data gap for Higher Education. This research also produced an alternative model of integrated data management that can be used as input for Information System developers in the Higher Education scope.

The coverage of Health Care Center toward UCI (Universal Child Immunization) at Banyuwangi Regency in 2018 met the target 91%. Onfortunately with a high amount of immunization, the number of infant deaths reached 138 infants. Total number increased 111 from the previous year. A review of the complete basic immunization data needs to be done. In this research, a clustering method was proposed by comparing the K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm in grouping Health Care Center data. Silhouette Coefficient and Standart Deviation were used to evaluate clusters that were perfomed to find out the accuracy in grouping data. The result showed that the FCM algorithm was better than K-Means based on Silhouette Coefficient results that were close to good, and the calculation of Standart Deviation had a smaller result that was 0.0918 than K-Means with the results of 0.0942. The Grouping of Heath Care Center data can be considered by the Health Department of Banyuwangi Regency in evaluating complete basic immunization services, especially in groups with poor immunization services to reduce infant and child mortality, so a disease that can be prevented with immunization become lower.

Authors: Lia Farokhah
Published: December 2020

Facial emotion recognition (FER) is a research topic that focuses on the analysis of human facial expressions. There are many FER research has been conducted on single images or photo. Emotion analysis on single images has many disadvantages compared to dynamic image sequences or videos. This is due to human emotions or expressions within a certain time. The classification of emotions becomes complicated when considering different emotions. There are some people who are very expressive, there are some people who have low or moderate expressions. Predictions of emotion with variety intensities has decresed error due to data sets that provide only a few emotions intensities. Data annotation is a major problem in recognition fields that require a lot of time and effort to annotate new data. This study aims to find information about facial emotions with emotional intensity from subtle to sharp in a sequence images or videos. The dataset will be trained using Convolutional neural network by augmentation to add data annotations. The proposed method was evaluated using the public BP4D-Spontaneous dataset. The evaluation results show that the average emotion recognition in video sequences using the holdout method is 18%. Evaluation of the loss function parameter shows overfitting where the curve generalization gap is too high. The last evaluation is the evaluation of the emotion class between the real class and the prediction class in 14.28%. This shows that the classification of emotion recognition in dynamic image sequences is quite low.

Consumers Spiritual Rights In Indonesia: A Legal Study Of Sharia Fintech Implementation In The Consumers Protection Perspective
Authors: Sugiarto Irwan , Disemadi Hari Sutra
Published: December 2020

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 provided advances in financial services such as financial technology (fintech) innovations. The fintech concept that adapts to technological developments is expected to facilitate a more practical, secure, and modern financial transaction process, including digital-based financial services that are currently developing around the world. The implementation of fintech in Indonesia is divided into conventional fintech and sharia fintech which provides choices for the public in accessing financial services. The problem comes from the Muslim community who still do not believe in the implementation of the Islamic financial industry especially sharia fintech. The existence of skepticism from the community is the basis of this research. This research uses normative legal research methods to describe and explaining efforts to implement sharia fintech in protecting the consumers, especially the protection of â€œspiritual rightsâ€. This protection can be pursued through the spread of sharia principles in which sharia fintech financing services do not contain usury, uncertainty (ghoror), speculation (masyir), hiding damage (tadlis), harming other parties (dharar), and avoiding illegal matters (haram). Then the implementation of sharia fintech in protecting the customer's spiritual rights can also be pursued by applying financing arrangements that have been regulated by applicable regulations and by Fatwa DSN-MUI, such as contract/akad al-bai', akad ijarah, akad mudharabah, akad musyarakah, akad wakalah bi al ujrah, and akad qardh.

Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study is to provide legal protection to the ethnic Rohingya, with the ASEAN Charter and the establishment of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission of Human Rights will strengthen the instruments in protecting human rights in ASEAN. Philosophically with the establishment of the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission of Human Rights, member countries would prefer a regional settlement to an international one. Regional settlements were chosen because the rules are adapted to regional conditions. This ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission of Human Rights needs a strong foundation and position to be able to give a reprimand. Rohingya is one example of ASEAN’s failure to guarantee human rights in the region. If this conflict cannot be resolved, of course, it is possible that future human rights violations will occur again. This research is a normative juridical study, the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission of Human Rights is obliged to provide protection to ethnic Rohingya because the violation occurred in the Southeast Asia region and it is time for ASEAN member countries to give strict sanctions to Myamar due to the behavior given to the Rohingya ethnicity. The principle of non-intervention contained in the ASEAN Way will always be a barrier for ASEAN member countries in providing protection to ethnic Rohingya in Myanmar, but ASEAN member countries must continue to persuade Myanmar to respect every human right without exception. and ask for help from the international community to pressure Myanmar to stop persecuting the Rohingya.

Authors: Meliala Nefa Claudia
Published: December 2020

Tulisan ini akan secara spesifik membahas mengenai pengaturan rechterlijk pardon (pemaafan hakim) dalam RKUHP sebagai salah satu bentuk pendekatan keadilan restoratif yang pada prinsipnya mencoba untuk menghindari penjatuhan pidana penjara sejauh hal tersebut dimungkinkan, terutama untuk pidana perampasan kemerdekaan jangka pendek dalam kasus-kasus tindak pidana ringan. Selain itu, lembaga ini juga pada prinsipnya berfungsi untuk melakukan koreksi terhadap kekakuan dari asas legalitas. Persoalan lain yang kemudian juga harus diperhatikan adalah RKUHP perlu mengurai secara lebih rinci kriteria yang harus terpenuhi agar putusan pemaafan hakim dapat dijatuhkan dalam suatu perkara. Upaya pembaharuan hukum pidana materil melalui pengaturan rechterlijk pardon (pemaafan hakim) dalam RKUHP ini juga harus disikronisasi dengan pengaturan hukum acara pidana dalam Rancangan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (RKUHAP) agar pengaturan rechterlijk pardon (pemaafan hakim) dalam RKUHP tidak menjadi sesuatu yang percuma. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif. Sehubungan dengan metode penelitian hukum normatif yang digunakan, jenis data yang digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder yang dikumpulkan melalui studi kepustakaan (studi literatur) yang dalam hal ini akan menjadi bahan utama.Â

An experiment was conducted to study the nitrogen use efficiency of nutrient enriched biochar (NEB) from sugar industry wastes with seven treatments comprising T1 (absolute control), T2 (50% RD of PK through NEB), T3 (75% RD of PK through NEB), T4 (100% RD of PK through NEB), T5 (125% RD of PK through NEB), T6 (50% through NEB + 50% through inorganic fertilizer) and T7 (100% RD of PK through inorganic fertilizer) in RBD using the rice variety TRY 3. In all treatments, nitrogen was supplied based on LCC reading. The result revealed that application of N through NEB could release the nitrogen slowly and steadily, thereby increasing the nitrogen use efficiency and crop yield. Since the yield of T3 treatment (6103 kgha-1) was on par with T4 (6165 kgha-1) and T5 (6269 kgha-1) treatments, which indicated that the plants received the essential nutrients in required quantities at 75 % RD of PK through NEB itself. On optimization of graded levels of NEB, the application of 75% RD of Pk through NEB was found to be the best treatment with respect to nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield in response to the quantity of nitrogen applied.

Tannery effluent was collected from Common Effluent Treatment Plant, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu and used for analysis for physico-chemical, heavy metals and biological properties. Soil samples were collected from the field and Aspergillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were isolated and pure cultured. The pH of the tannery waste water was around 8.50 and electrical conductivity was 2.89 dS/m indicating the alkalinity of the effluent. Total dissolved solids(TSS) was found to be 1460 mg/L and BOD showed 2346 mg/l. The AAS reading of chromium in the effluent indicated 205 mg/L which means the effluent can not be released into the environment without proper treatment. The metal tolerance capacity of the organisms was tested at different concentrations of chromium salts dissolved in tannery effluent viz., 25 to 200 ppm with 25 ppm of increment for each of the treatment. Pseudomonas sp.tested tolerated upto 100 ppm,while the Aspergillus sp could resist upto 75 ppm of chromium concentration. It was also found that the Pseudomonas sp. had potentially removed chromium from aqueous spiked solution with effluent, hence it could be a good biosorbent for the removal of chromium from tannery effluent contaminated agricultural fields.

Authors:   Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Coconut Research Station, Aliyar Nagar, C Sudhalakshmi , S Meena
Published: December 2020

A pot culture experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore to establish the genotypic divergence in per cent zinc (Zn) derived from fertilizer (% Zndff) or from soil (% Zndfs) and on zinc uptake of two rice genotypes Zn -efficient Norungan and Zn –inefficient PMK 3. To assess the partitioning of Zn in the shoot and root of the genotypes, radiotracer technique was employed, in which graded levels of Zn (0.0, 12.5, 25.0, 37.5 and 50.0 kg ha-1 of ZnSO4) as 65Zn labeled ZnSO4 were applied. Per cent Zndff showed an increase by 50 % for Zn-inefficient PMK 3 than that for Norungan while reverse was the trend for % Zndfs implying the fact that Zn inefficient genotypes have the ability to use only readily available sources of Zn. Zinc uptake from fertilizer increased with increasing dose of applied zinc for PMK 3 while in Norungan it showed a peak at 25 kg ha-1 of ZnSO4 and thereafter it declined. Irrespective of the sources of zinc, root zinc accumulation was higher in PMK 3 than that in Norungan. The Zn-efficient genotype Norungan had better translocation of Zn from root to shoot than PMK 3.

Published: December 2020

A field experiment was conducted at Tapioca and Castor Research Station, Yethapur, Salem district, Tamil Nadu during the year 2012 – 2014. The following treatments were imposed and replicated thrice in split plot design. In main plot, different hybrids viz., YRCH 1(M1 ), GCH 4 (M2 ), DCH 519 (M3 ) and DCH 177 (M4 ) and in sub plot, different spacing viz., 90 x 90 cm (S1 ), 120 x 90 cm (S2 ) and 120 x 120 cm (S3 ) were evaluated during rabi season under irrigated condition. The results revealed that, castor crop grown well during Rabi season under irrigated condition. It is mainly due to the reason that, in Rabi sown crop there is no incidence of Botrytis gray mold disease and also cool dry season promotes seed setting in castor which results higher seed yield was obtained. Hybrids performed better in wider spacing because, they produce more number of spikes and effective spike length in castor. This is mainly due to in wider spacing, there is lesser competition between the plants. In the nutshell, hybrid YRCH 1 with a spacing of 120 x 120 cm recorded 19 per cent higher seed yield (2572 kg ha-1) than closer spacing of 90 x 90 cm (2157 kg ha-1) under irrigated condition
O “novo clero”
Authors: Benedetti Luiz Roberto
Published: December 2020

Após um período de “indefinição” no imediato pós-Concílio, a identidade do padre se delineia, marcada menos pela abertura ao novo do que pela volta ao passado. A preocupação com o poder sacerdotal prevalece sobre o espírito de diálogo e de serviço competente ao mundo de hoje. O “novo” clero carrega as marcas do moderno, do gosto pela festa e pelo espetáculo, e do arcaico - a tendência mágico-fundamentalista, o legalismo, o cultivo dos sinais distintivos de poder e status. O perfil do “novo clero” se forja no seminário, como instituição social total - lugar do controle e tempo da prova. O artigo procura dar conta dos impasses desta escolha.

”Kalevala – kansan luomistyön ihana perintö”
Authors: Ahola Joonas
Published: December 2020

Artikkeli erittelee erilaisia diskursseja, joissa Kalevalaa ja kansanperinnettä käsiteltiin neuvostokarjalaisessa suomenkielisessä lehdistössä vuosina 1928–1958. Aineisto koostuu etupäässä kirjallisuus- ja sanomalehdistöstä. Aineistossa tunnistettavassa Kalevala perinnetekstinä -diskurssissa Kalevalaa käsitellään perinnettä edustavana objektina, johon on vaadittavissa jonkinlainen oikeus. Tästä omistusoikeudesta puhutaan omistajuusdiskursseissa. Niissä omistajuutta oikeutetaan mm. sen pohjana olevan runouden alkuperäisten esittäjien kansallisuuden perusteella, joka määriteltiin eri aikoina eri tavoin. Menneisyysdiskurssissa puolestaan käsitellään mm. Kalevalassa tavattavaa kansanperinnettä teksteinä menneisyydestä, mikä puolestaan mahdollistaa Kalevalan edustaman kansanrunouden retorisen käytön yhtäältä analogiana, toisaalta kontrastina neuvosto-olojen myönteisessä arvottamisessa nykyaikaa korostavassa moderniteettipuheessa. Artikkelissa nostetaan myös esiin, kuinka diskurssit limittyvät keskenään. Diskurssien todetaan olevan reaktioita Suomessa ja muualla porvarillisessa lännessä vallitsevaan keskusteluun ja toisekseen kumpuavan suurelta osin Neuvostoliiton ja Neuvosto-Karjalan historiallisista ja poliittisista vaiheista ja kehityskuluista.

Purpose. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment of dry eye syndrome in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome by using the drug without preservative drops containing sodium hyaluronate 0.4%. Materials and methods. The research was carried out on the basis of “The Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of The National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. The study included 14 patients aged 34 to 59 years (28 eyes) with dry eye syndrome concomitant with Sjogren’s syndrome. The examination of patients included: assessment of complaints, visometry, refractometry, culture tank from the conjunctiva, biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, Schirmer’s test and Norn’s test, assessment of the “comfort of using drops” according to the questionnaire developed for this study. Results. Before the appointment of instillations, Norn’s test was 6.5 seconds (SD 1.56) with a minimum of 3 seconds and a maximum of 9 seconds, a median of 6.5 seconds. After a month of treatment while taking drops, Norn’s test in the first group averaged 14.86 (SD 1.07) versus 13.86 (SD 1.07), but the difference was not statistically significant (p=1.0). The average number of instillations required per day for the first group was 4.14 (SD 1.06) and for the second group it was: 5.29 (SD 1.11). Conclusion. Instillations of non-preservative drops containing sodium hyaluronate 0.4% (in a bottle equipped with an innovative reusable push-type ophthalmic dispenser (OSD) in the treatment of dry eye syndrome in patients with Sjogren’s syndrome are quite effective and very convenient to use.

Authors: С. В. Головко  , В. Р. Балабаник
Published: December 2020

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is considered an effective modern minimally invasive surgical intervention and is an alternative to open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in the surgical treatment of kidney cancer.The objective: to provide modern evidence of the effectiveness of LPN in the surgical treatment of patients and to describe the further evolution of this minimally invasive technique.Materials and methods. We prospectively analyzed the data of 63 patients who underwent LPN for clinically localized kidney cancer since September 2015 to October2019 in the urology clinic of theNationalMilitaryClinicalHospital «GVKG» of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. LPN was performed using anOlympus endoscopic stand. Clinical data were obtained through a prospective analysis of surgical interventions, including intra- and postoperative results and complications. Descriptive statistical analysis and a multivariate logistic regression model were used to predict surgical outcomes.Results. The average age of the patients was 60.7 years; the average preoperative tumor size was33.0 mm. According to the PADUA-scale, 22 (35.0 %) patients were categorized as low difficulty, 23 (36.5 %) to the intermediate difficulty category and 18 (28.5 %) to the high difficulty category. All patients had transperitoneal access. The average surgery time was 156 minutes. The average blood loss was 171 ml. Overall, significant postoperative complications occurred in 2 (3.2 %) patients (Clavien-Dindo >2). We did not find any statistically significant differences between pre- and postoperative level of creatinine (p<0.05). In general, optimal surgical results, including analysis of the surgical margin, degree of ischemia, and level of complications, were achieved in 44 (69.8 %) patients. During an average of 26 months of observation, only two local and two distant metastases were recorded. In the end, using the multivariate logistic regression model, it was revealed that the degree of complexity of the tumor was associated with a greater risk of obtaining a non-optimal surgical result.Conclusions. LPN is an effective minimally invasive alternative to OPN in the treatment of clinically localized renal cell carcinoma. We presented the current experience of the use of LPN in the surgical treatment of kidney cancer. LPN, as it turned out, is an effective and safe minimally invasive operation that provides optimal results in most patients with varying degrees of tumor complexity.

Published: December 2020

Stricture of the bowl-ureter segment (BUS) is one of the common pathologies in urology. Quite often in urological practice narrowing of BUS is accompanied by urolithiasis. In adults, according to various authors, the combination of these two serious pathologies occurs in 16-25 % of observations. For a long period, reconstructive-plastic surgery on BUS was a category of complex surgical interventions, required long-term intubation anesthesia, accompanied by a wide opening of the retroperitoneal space with careful allocation of the BUS area. Patients were in the hospital for a long time. Progress in the development of endoscopic equipment has contributed to the active introduction into clinical practice of minimally invasive techniques. Today, an increasing number of urologists are favoring different methods of laparoscopic plastics of BUS structures. But, both in the domestic and in the foreign literature, there are few works that would present advantages, complications, disadvantages of laparoscopic BUS plastic in combination with laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in patients with BUS complicated. This paper presents an analysis of our treatment of patients with BUS strictures in combination with urolithiasis.The objective: analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of laparoscopic MCC plastics in combination with laparoscopic pyelolithotomy in patients with MCC obstruction complicated by SCC.Materials and methods. For the period from 2013 to 2019 41 patients with the above pathology were laparoscopically operated in the clinic of theInstitute ofUrology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences ofUkraine, including 25 men and 16 women. Their age ranged from 18 to 66 years. The length of the strictures – from 0.3 to1 cm. The size of the concretions varied from 0.5 to1.5 cm. One patient was found to be a coral stone of8.6 cm in size. There were no complications. The average length of stay in the hospital was 5.4 days.Results. In the distant postoperative period, there was no recurrence of BUS stricture and stone formation, stabilization or improvement of the secretory function of the kidney on the side of the plastic was noted. The effectiveness of our use of this method was 90.2 %, which allows us to consider it as the «gold» standard in the treatment of the above pathology.Conclusion. The use of laparoscopic plastics in combination with laparoscopic pyelolithotomy has made it possible to achieve good clinical results both in the immediate and long-term postoperative period. Timely surgery allowed us to achieve positive results in all patients with hydronephrotic transformation due to BUS stricture and complicated urolithiasis.
