Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa longitudinal retrospectiva, entre 2008 e 2020. Realizou-se uma análise dos custos de produção ambulatorial do SUS (DATASUS – SAI). Classificou-se os gastos conforme os tipos de tratamento, estas variáveis geraram estatísticas descritivas; calculou-se, também, uma estimativa do valor médio por sessão de tratamento. Resultados: Verificou-se um aumento crescente, de 2008 a 2020 nos procedimentos clínicos pelo SUS, entre os quais, os gastos com oncologia representavam a segunda maior alocação. Dos gastos totais, os procedimentos de Quimioterapia paliativa – adulto detém maior volume, por outro lado, os menores desembolsos são alocados nos procedimentos de medicina nuclear – terapêutica oncológica. Conclusão: Em relação a países desenvolvidos o Brasil ainda se apresenta tímido quanto a destinação de recursos à saúde, sobretudo aos procedimentos com tratamento em oncologia.
A framework for predicting employee health risks using ensemble model
Authors:   Department of Computing and Information Systems, Sunway University, Sunway, Malaysia, et al. Chan
Published: June 2021

Through the phenomenon of data, big data and data analytics have provided an opportunity to collect, store, process, analyze and visualize an immense amount of information. Healthcare is recognized as one of the most information-intensive sectors. An urge to explore analytics has been sparked by the rapid growth of data within the healthcare sector. Most employers in Malaysia provide medical benefits that are included in the medical insurance plan for their employees. Data collected such as the history of medical claims are stored with the HR (Human Resource) which contributes to the potential of analyzing and recognizing trends within medical claims to better understand the use and overall health of the employee population. Patients with higher risk will generally convert into patients with high costs. Hence, early intervention of these patients will allow employers to potentially minimize costs and plan preventative steps. In predictive analysis, Decision Trees and Regression are typical techniques applied. The proposed framework combines an ensemble technique known as Stacking. As opposed to a single predictive model, an ensemble predictive model would yield better performance and accuracy. The objective of this paper is therefore to review current practices and past research within the healthcare sector while suggesting a practical framework for classification ensemble modeling. Preliminary findings indicated that an ensemble model can produce higher predictive accuracy and performance than a single model.

Published: June 2021

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting pattern and organic nutrients sources on maize in an intercropping system with cowpea. The treatment consists of four planting pattern (Sole maize, Sole cowpea, 1:1 maize + cowpea and 2:2 paired row maize + cowpea) and four nutrient sources (inorganic, FYM, ambrosia weed biomass and 50% through FYM + 50% through ambrosia weed biomass) allocated to main and sub plots, respectively. Growth parameters of maize did not vary significantly due to planting various planting patterns with cowpea except for dry matter accumulation at harvest. Highest grain, stover and biological yield of maize was also reported from sole maize which was at par with paired row planted maize but significantly higher over the maize intercropped in 1:1 planting pattern with cowpea. All the growth parameters and yield attributes of maize also differed significantly due to application of various sources of plant nutrients except for plant height at 30 DAS, CGR and RGR during 30-60 DAS and cobs per plant and cob length. Maximum grain yield in maize was recorded from inorganic nutrient source which was at par with combined nutrient application through FYM and ambrosia. Protein content ingrain remain at par but nutrient uptake varied markedly and follow the trends of grain and biological yields both due to planting pattern and nutrient sources.

Published: June 2021

A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive years of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Central Potato Research Station, Patna with objective to evaluate theresponse of zinc on potato tuber yield. Significant effect of zinc application was not noticed on plant emergence and plant height of crop at 30 days after planting. However, higher plant height was recorded in the plot which received the zinc as compare to without zinc application. Significant difference in plant height was observed at later stages of crop due to application of zinc at the rate of 6.0 kg/ha along with recommended dose of fertilizers. Similarly, dry matter yield of potato tubers was also recorded consequently higher due to application of higher doses of zinc. Tuber grades of 0-25g and 25-50g were found non-significant irrespective of doses of zinc application in potato. Significant variation in medium and large size tuber yield were recorded due to application of zinc @ 6 kg/ha over without zinc application. About 18.1% increase in marketable tuber yield of potato was found due to application of zinc @ 6.0 kg/ha as compare to without zinc application. About11.3% and 13.7% increase in the total tuber yield of potato was observed due to application of zinc @ 4.5 and 6.0 kg/ha, respectively over without zinc application. However, no significant variation in pooled yield was found with application of zinc up to 3.0 kg/ha over without zinc application. The highest net return (Rs. 36.0×103/ha) and net benefit cost ratio (2.52) was recorded due to application of zinc @ 6.0 kg/ha as compare to without zinc. Application of zinc @ 6.0 kg/ha along with recommended dose of NPK may be found more beneficial for potato cultivation under Eastern Indo-Gangetic plains of India.

Wheat is an important cool season cereal crop of India, production and quality get compromised due to biotic and abiotic stresses. Wheat is susceptible to a variety of diseases and insect pests, including birds. Birds attack on standing crop are not very often and extent and pattern of damage varies considerably, however, its management practices is generally not taken in to account. The bird preferred to attack wheat crops while they were in the reproductive stage, especially during milking to dough stage. The data collected over the course of a two-year field study in the Kashmir valley at Research Farm Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) has been subjected to Random Forest model to determine whether there is a trait-specific specific preference for attack if any. Random forest (RF) model identified five major features out of 13 selected features of wheat germplasm with seventy percent accuracy for parrot birds’ preferred to attack on wheat germplasm. RF Model suggests that taller height, having long spikes and a greater number of ears, along with more biomass and grain yields, could be possible traits that bird pest target during the reproductive stage. It was inferenced that the average performance of the random forest model demonstrated with model accuracy (71%), sensitivity (0.77), kappa 0.41 and receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC-0.74) and showed good fit for classification of parrot attack on wheat germplasm.

Authors: CHONGLOI KHUMLO LEVISH , SINGH DEEPAK
Published: June 2021

The study was conducted in Chandel district of Manipur state to maximise the productivity of Rapeseed-mustard under rice fallow. Rapeseed-mustard has great potential under residual moisture after the harvest of Kharif rice in North Eastern states. It is a major source of income especially to the marginal and small farmers in rainfed areas of Manipur. Sample consisted of randomly selected 29 farmers who were growing rapeseed-mustard under FLDs. The results revealed that improved technology recorded a mean yield of 8.77 q/ha which was 20.55 per cent higher than obtained under farmers’ practice (7.27 q/ha). The study also showed that reduction in technology index from 10.90 per cent during 2017-18 to 6.49 per cent during 2019-20 exhibited the feasibility of demonstrated technology. The lower value of technology index, the more is the feasibility of technology. Further, it was found that the adoption of improved technologies not only increased the yield but also yield attributing traits of rapeseed-mustard and benefit cost ratio. Hence, there is a need to disseminate the improved technologies amongst the farmers with effective extension methods like training and demonstrations to utilise the rice fallow areas for increasing the cropping intensity as well as to increase crop production and productivity. The farmers’ should be encouraged to adopt the recommended package of practices for realizing higher returns.
Reasons and Awareness Levels of Farmers on Residue Burning in Indo-Gangetic Plain of India: An Exploratory Research
Authors: CHONGLOI ANURADHA LEVISH , KADIAN K S , MEENA M S
Published: June 2021

The study examines reasons for the burning of crop residue, awareness of the impact of the burning of crop residue, and government approaches to mitigating the burning. Data from 180 farmers from three districts of the state of Haryana was sought. Rank Based Quotient method was used to identify reasons. At the same time, awareness was assessed by direct questioning. The study concludes that the short window time between paddy harvesting and showing wheat was a primary reason for stubble burning. Research also shows that harvesting is expensive and time-consuming, causing farmers to burn. Most farmers were aware of the various adverse effects of burning on soil health (73.89%), air health (100%), and human health (81.66%). Everybody was aware of the ban on crop residue burning and other government measures, but they have no other viable options other than burning. Policymakers, therefore, must focus on feasible options that are acceptable in farmers' socio-economic conditions.

Authors: VERMA HARISH CHANDRA , GARG NEELIMA
Published: June 2021

ICAR-CISH has developed four mobile apps on mango products, two on guava products and two on aonla products to disseminate value addition protocols of respective fruits. In this work, mobile apps have been developed to provide advisory on preparing quality processed products of main fruits of Subtropical region. For developing apps, cloud- based tool viz. ‘’MIT app Inventor2.0’’ was used. This tool can be used for app development using visual, event-based block programming method in browser itself. The apps were developed to provide advisories on preparation of quality processed fruit products such as different types of pickles, squash, murabba, candy, RTS drinks, etc. Apps provide audio facility as well as calculation of ingredients amount on a mouse click. These apps are very interactive and helpful to the farmers in preparing quality processed products of fruits even at cottage scale. These apps are available on ‘Google Play’ for free download. The information provided by app will be helpful in reducing post harvest losses of fruits, generation of employment opportunities and improve the livelihood status of the farmers.

Published: June 2021

We examined internet searches indicative of abusive parental behaviors before and after the World Health Organization’s declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic (March 11, 2020) and subsequent lockdown measures in many countries worldwide. Using Google Trends, we inferred search trends between December 28, 2018, and December 27, 2020, for queries consisting of “mother,” “father,” or “parents” combined with each of the 11 maltreatment-related verbs used in the Conflict Tactics Scales, Parent-Child version. Raw search counts from the Google Trends data were estimated using Comscore. Of all 33 search terms, 28 terms showed increases in counts after the lockdowns began. These findings indicate a strong increase in internet searches relating to occurrence, causes, or consequences of emotional and physical maltreatment since the lockdowns began and call for the use of maltreatment-related queries to direct parents or children to online information and support.
Abbreviated Dietary Self-monitoring for Type 2 Diabetes Management: Mixed Methods Feasibility Study
Authors: Richardson Kelli Marie , Cota Aguirre Gloria , Weiss Rick , Cinar Ali , Liao Yue , Marano Kari , Bedoya Arianna R , Schembre Susan
Published: June 2021

Background

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) can be managed through diet and lifestyle changes. The American Diabetes Association acknowledges that knowing what and when to eat is the most challenging aspect of diabetes management. Although current recommendations for self-monitoring of diet and glucose levels aim to improve glycemic stability among people with T2D, tracking all intake is burdensome and unsustainable. Thus, dietary self-monitoring approaches that are equally effective but are less burdensome should be explored.

Objective

This study aims to examine the feasibility of an abbreviated dietary self-monitoring approach in patients with T2D, in which only carbohydrate-containing foods are recorded in a diet tracker.

Methods

We used a mixed methods approach to quantitatively and qualitatively assess general and diet-related diabetes knowledge and the acceptability of reporting only carbohydrate-containing foods in 30 men and women with T2D.

Results

The mean Diabetes Knowledge Test score was 83.9% (SD 14.2%). Only 20% (6/30) of participants correctly categorized 5 commonly consumed carbohydrate-containing foods and 5 noncarbohydrate-containing foods. The mean perceived difficulty of reporting only carbohydrate-containing foods was 5.3 on a 10-point scale. Approximately half of the participants (16/30, 53%) preferred to record all foods. A lack of knowledge about carbohydrate-containing foods was the primary cited barrier to acceptability (12/30, 40%).

Conclusions

Abbreviated dietary self-monitoring in which only carbohydrate-containing foods are reported is likely not feasible because of limited carbohydrate-specific knowledge and a preference of most participants to report all foods. Other approaches to reduce the burden of dietary self-monitoring for people with T2D that do not rely on food-specific knowledge could be more feasible.

Published: June 2021

У цьому огляді детально описана одна із ключових ланок патогенезу СОVID-19, а саме гіпер-продукція прозапальних цитокінів, які відіграють ключову роль у формуванні гострого респіраторного дистрес-синдрому, синдрому дисемінованого внутрішньосудинного згортання крові, синдрому поліорганної дисфункції, які зумовлюють порівняно високу летальність серед пацієнтів, інфікованих СОVID-19. Наведені основні напрямки інтенсивної терапії для попередження й лікування цитокінового шторму та препарати антицитокінової терапії. Серед препаратів з антицитокіновими та протизапальними властивостями найбільша доказова база ефективності та безпечності у кортикостероїдів. Поміж найбільш перспективних препаратів, що потребують подальших клінічних досліджень, слід виділити ті, що пригнічують активність основного внутрішньоклітинного регулятора продукції прозапальних цитокінів, ядерного фактора транскрипції В імунокомпетентних клітин. До таких належать препарати куркуми, які зараз проходять завершальні фази передреєстраційних досліджень.
Інтраопераційне анестезіологічне забезпечення, післяопераційне знеболювання та післяопераційна профілактика нудоти і блювання в разі гострої кишкової непрохідності (клінічна лекція)
Authors: Pylypenko M.M. , Bondar M.V.
Published: June 2021

Основні зусилля анестезіолога під час знеболювання оперативного втручання з приводу гострої кишкової непрохідності повинні бути спрямованими на стабілізацію гемодинаміки пацієнта і компенсацію водно-електролітних розладів, які виникли в передопераційному періоді. Для цього слід широко використовувати сучасні засоби моніторингу гемодинаміки, температури, респіраторної механіки і функції газообміну. Ефективне моніторування вказаних функцій і раннє застосування при артеріальній гіпотензії помірних доз вазопресорів дозволяють стабілізувати гемодинаміку та обмежити обсяг інтраопераційної інфузії. Препарати для інфузії слід цілеспрямовано обирати з урахуванням виду електролітних порушень, а як базові розчини доцільно застосувати збалансовані кристалоїди. При виборі засобів, а також доз препаратів для знеболювання та анестезії перевагу слід надавати тим, що дозволяють якнайшвидше пробудити хворого після анестезії та сприяти його ранній активізації та реабілітації. Де це можливо, методи загальної анестезії слід доповнювати регіонарною анестезією та післяопераційною регіонарною аналгезією. Питання про уникнення інтраопераційної інтубації кишечника, а також раннє видалення назоєюнального та/чи назогастрального зондів у післяопераційному періоді повинно вирішуватися разом із хірургами, що часто дозволяє зменшити відчуття нудоти та пришвидшувати післяопераційну реабілітацію хворих. Для ефективного післяопераційного контролю нудоти та блювання в разі гострої кишкової непрохідності часто необхідно застосовувати комбінацію препаратів, що знижують гастроінтестинальну секрецію, з препаратами, які пригнічують регуляцію блювотного рефлексу в центральній нервовій системі, а також із прокінетиками, що покращують евакуацію шлункового вмісту.

Актуальність. COVID-19 — це найбільший виклик, з яким зіткнувся увесь сучасний світ. Медики та науковці намагаються відшукати вирішення цієї актуальної проблеми. Саме тому останнім часом створено багато гайдлайнів для ведення пацієнтів з COVID-19, які постійно оновлюються з урахуванням результатів останніх досліджень для того, аби забезпечити пацієнтів найкращою допомогою. Але помітно, що існує нестача протоколів для певних особливих груп населення, ведення яких відрізняється від лікування загальної популяції. До таких груп належать діти, вагітні та породіллі, люди похилого віку, пацієнти, які потребують хірургічного втручання. Мета. Оцінювання допомоги вагітним та породіллям в умовах комунального некомерційного підприємства «Клінічна лікарня швидкої медичної допомоги міста Львова» (КНП «КЛШМД м. Львова»). Матеріали та методи. Із вересня 2020 року на базі КНП «КЛШМД м. Львова» проводилося лікування вагітних та породіль з COVID-19, три випадки з яких подано вашій увазі. Результати. На жаль, проведене лікування не завжди веде до позитивних наслідків і може закінчитися летально, оскільки перебіг часто супроводжується бактерійними ускладненнями, картина яких особливо яскраво проявляється на фоні імуносупресії. Проте визначено, що найкращою схемою лікування залишається поєднання застосування антибіотиків, антикоагулянтів та гормонів і виключає широке застосування противірусних або протималярійних препаратів. Визначальним чинником також залишається постійний моніторинг вітальних функцій та оцінка функціонування печінки, нирок, серця з метою запобігання розвитку ускладнень чи виявлення їх на ранній стадії. Висновки. При лікуванні вагітних у відділенні анестезіології та інтенсивної терапії важливо правильно підібрати емпіричну терапію, вчасно провести розродження та здійснювати кисневу терапію, ґрунтуючись на теоретичних і практичних принципах штучної вентиляції легень.
Місце епідуральної аналгезії з проколом твердої мозкової оболонки як сучасного методу знеболювання пологів
Authors: Zhezher A.O. , Sulimenko Ye.M. , Loskutov O.A.
Published: June 2021

Пологи — фізіологічний процес, що супроводжується вираженим больовим синдромом. У патологічний процес можуть бути залучені фізіологічні та психологічні чинники. Підвищення концентрації катехоламінів може сприяти зниженню матково-плацентарної перфузії. Біль під час пологів може призвести до гіпервентиляції матері, що, зі свого боку, може вплинути на кислотно-основний стан плода та стан новонародженого. Тривалий больовий синдром може призвести до розвитку тяжких психологічних розладів із порушенням зв’язку між матір’ю і новонародженим. Гострий біль під час пологів може трансформуватися в хронічний у післяпологовому періоді. Найбільш ефективними є нейроаксіальні методи знеболювання пологів: епідуральна аналгезія (ЕА), комбінована спінально-епідуральна аналгезія (КСЕА) та їх модифікації. Класична ЕА справляє мінімальні небажані та побічні ефекти, але може бути пов’язана з високою частотою недостатнього рівня знеболювання. Частота неадекватних епідуральних блокад доходить до 23 %. КСЕА на відміну від ЕА має вищу якість сенсорної блокади, але вона пов’язана з більшою частотою побічних ефектів, таких як гіпотензія, виражений моторний блок, порушення частоти серцевих скорочень плода. З 2005 року в практику акушерських анестезіологів почала впроваджуватись епідуральна аналгезія з проколом твердої мозкової оболонки (Dural puncture epidural — DPE) як метод, що покликаний покращити якість класичної ЕА з мінімальними небажаними ефектами КСЕА. Дані наявних досліджень показують, що DPE потенційно покращує якість аналгезії (швидше настає знеболювання, краще покриття сакральних сегментів, нижча частота неадекватних блокад) порівняно з ЕА та менше викликає гіпотензію, порушення ритму частоти серцевих скорочень плода порівняно з КСЕА. Але в досягненні даних ефектів важливий діаметр спінальної голки. Подальші дослідження можуть бути націлені на визначення тривалості пологів, варіанта розродження та можливого впливу DPE на вегетативну регуляцію пологів та більш широке вивчення впливу данного методу на плід і новонародженого.
From Commodity to Capability Fetishism: Human Development as a Harmonisation of Social and Territorial Cartographies
Authors: George Kizito Michael
Published: June 2021

The development discourse has been thrown into a disarray and paradigmatic quagmire by the impasse of neo-liberal transnational social cartographies. There are calls within the development discourse fraternity to deterritorise the concept of development so as to grapple with it sufficiently and effectively. Failure to adhere to this call, various development discourses have been accused of methodological territorialism. This paper uses critical hermeneutics to argue that the trajectory from Trickle Down and Basic Needs Theory to Human Rights, Capability and Functionings approaches to development is fundamentally a paradigm shift from territorial to social cartographies. This paper further argues that despite the significance of social cartographies occasioned by neo-liberal globalisation, territorial cartographies as envisaged by structuralists, post-structuralists, post-developmentalists, post-colonialists and global ethnographers are still vital because of their thorough critique of the power discourse behind structures that disadvantage individuals. The paper contends that in order to realise engendered development, it is pertinent to ultimately look at the individual who is the basic ingredient of a moral society (ethical individualism) as well as the structures and strictures that disempower and vulnerablelise individual moral agents.

Published: June 2021

Purpose. This project validates knowledge and confidence in nurses/clinicians who could encounter human trafficking (HT). Background. HT, a worldwide problem, is the exploitation of human beings. There are up to 40 million victims globally and 18,000-20,000 in the US. Many victims encounter healthcare professionals who often lack HT training. Methods. Clinicians/HT survivors led trainings at two Northern California hospitals. Ability to identify/treat HT patients was measured before and after training. Results. 254 professionals, (73.9% nurses) participated. Despite 66.1% indicating HT could affect their patients, most lacked HT identification/treatment training. At baseline, 26.3% of participants felt comfortable/very comfortable identifying and treating potential victims of human trafficking, compared to 93.2% (p < .001) and 90.4% (p < .001), respectively, at posttest. Implications. The training improved red-flag identification and documentation and expanded the trauma-informed care approach. Prioritizing departments likely to serve trafficked patients, this program was implemented across our three-state hospital system.

Authors: Bhagya K. , Subbalakshmi E. , Devi V. Kalpana
Published: June 2021

The outbreak of novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led the entire world to limp. The virus is causing the severe acute respiratory syndrome, with increasing morbidity and mortality. The WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic or public health emergency because of its morbidity and mortality. Several inflammatory markers have been used in the initial diagnosis, as well as prognostic markers in disease progression. One of the inflammatory markers is C reactive protein. The other markers that help in prognosis are ferritin, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, CT scan of the lung, IL6 (interleukin 6), RT PCR is reliable diagnostic evidence. Aim of the study: 1. The aim is to determine the C-reactive protein, CT (Computerised Tomography) scan of the lung, RT PCR (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain reaction) in COVID-19 patients. 2. To compare CRP & CT scan values of the lung in various age groups. A cross-sectional study was done from September 2020 to January 2021 and the results were analysed. Out of 704 COVID positive patients, the maximum number of patients were in the age group between 31 to 70. The RT PCR showed COVID positive results in 689 (97.8%) patients. The CRP values were found to be >25mg/l from 31-50 (34.7%) years and in 51-70 years of age (52%). In comparison of CT scan with CRP changes, CRP values were found to be raised when there is 25-50% (24.5%) and >50% (27.6%) involvement of lung by COVID. CT scan lung involvement was >50% in the age group between 31-50 (38.9%) and 51-70 (50%), respectively. High CRP values of >25mg/l were observed with the same age group 34.7% with the group of 31-50 and 52% with the group of 51-70, respectively. CRP correlated with the advancing age group and was found to be a good predictor of disease progression.

Published: June 2021

Objective: To evaluate group differences in social adjustment in
survivors of pediatric ALL compared to survivor siblings, and controls;
identify disease-related predictors of social adjustment in survivors;
and explore whether executive functioning explained differences in
social adjustment across groups and between disease-related predictors.
Methods: Survivors of pediatric ALL (n=38, average age at diagnosis=4.27
years [SD=1.97]; average time off treatment=4.83 years
[SD=1.52]), one sibling (if available, n=20), and one parent from
each family were recruited from a long-term survivor clinic. Healthy
age- and sex-matched controls (n=38) and one parent from each family
were recruited from the community. Parents completed the Behavioral
Assessment System for Children, Parent Rating Scale (BASC-3) Social
Withdrawal subscale as a measure of social adjustment and the Behavior
Rating Inventory of Executive Functions (BRIEF-2) as a measure of
executive function for each of their children. Results: Parents reported
that survivors had significantly worse social adjustment compared to
controls (b=6.34, p=.004), but not survivor siblings. Among survivors,
greater time off treatment (b=2.06, p=.058) and poorer executive
functioning (b=0.42, p=.006) were associated with worse social
adjustment. Executive function did not mediate differences in social
withdrawal between survivors and controls or the relationship between
time off treatment and social withdrawal among survivors. Conclusions:

In recent years, point-of-care testing (POCT) has become a topical
issue. Lateral flow immunoassay strategies based on magnetic
nanoparticles (MNPs) are important POCT elements due to their sensitive
quantification of biological materials via MNP magnetic field
measurement. In this study, we designed a magnetic flux sensor for use
in immunomagnetic biosensing platforms, incorporating a mathematical
model and computer simulation strategy. The system used field
programmable gate array (FPGA) as the control chip, synthesized
excitation signals and excited coils to generate excitation magnetic
fields. Also, the stepping motor was controlled to drive the test strip
at a uniform speed through the sensor detection area. A differential
configuration strategy was used for sensor pick-up coils to assess MNP
influence on the magnetic flux, which was insensitive to background
magnetic interference and common-mode noise. These factors significantly
enhanced the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor. The magnetic flux
sensor structure was optimized, and response magnetic field
characteristics of MNP on test strips analyzed using finite element
analysis (FEA) simulations. System performance was evaluated by testing
human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which demonstrated a linear
performance, with a limit of detection of 0.0098 mIU/mL. This system may
be used to identify other target analytes in different application
settings.

GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DAN PERLINDUNGAN KONSUMEN: STUDI KASUS: PENYALAHGUNAAN DATA KARTU TELEPON BEKAS
Authors: Angeline Thalita
Published: June 2021

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the extent of the application of the principles of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) and protection of personal data from the point of view of consumers in telecommunications service companies. The case study analyzed the misuse of used telephone card data in a telecommunications service company PT. Z. The empirical judicial method was used in this study. This legal research was carried out by  examining documents (document studies), using 2 (two) approaches, the statute approach and the conceptual approach. Primary data were collected through surveys and interviews to prove the findings in the first stage. The results of the study, on the legal aspects showed that the legal protection for consumers as users of telecommunications services has not been fully implemented by PT. Z according to Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection and Law Number 36 of 1999 concerning Telecommunications. Consumer perceptions indicate that PT. Z has not implemented GCG principles properly. Consumer responses to aspects of consumer personal data protection related to the above cases are also not good and tend to be detrimental to consumers. This research showed that the application of GCG principles is not optimal and has an impact on weak aspects of consumer protection. For the implementation of GCG in the future, PT. Z should have good intentions in running its business and provide correct, complete and clear information related to the products it trades, both spoken and written.

Using Tapered Channels to Improve LAD Performance for Cryogenic Fluids: Suborbital Testing Results
Authors: Supak Kevin , Green Steve , McCleney Amy
Published: June 2021

Improvement of cryogenic fluid storage and transfer technology for in-space propulsion and storage systems is required for long-term space missions. Screened channel liquid acquisition devices (LADs) have long been used with storable propellants to deliver vapor-free liquid during engine restart and liquid transfer processes. The use of LADs with cryogenic fluids is problematic due to low temperatures associated with cryogenic fluids. External heat leaks will cause vapor bubbles to form within the LADs that are difficult to remove in the existing designs. A tapered LAD channel has been proposed to reliably remove vapor bubbles within the device without costly thrusting maneuvers or active separation systems. A model has been developed to predict bubble movement within tapered LAD channels, and subsequent ground testing was completed with a simulant fluid to provide model validation data. Suborbital microgravity testing of tapered LAD technology was recently completed with two different simulant fluids and demonstrated that the concept can passively expel vapor bubbles within the channel. Two additional suborbital flights have been funded to further develop this technology by investigating the performance of larger scale versions of the design.
