Sentecing Model For Residivists Of Illegal Mineral And Coal Mining Crimes
Authors: Kaplele Farida - , Rohrohmana Basir - , Budiyanto Budiyanto -
Published: August 2024

The goal of the current normative research is to investigate how Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining (also known as the Minerba Law) applies to the sentencing of recidivist offenders for offenses involving mining minerals and coal. When it comes to dealing with criminal punishments for recidivists who commit crimes related to mining and minerals, there appears to be a complete lack of legislation. This indicates a legal gap that applies to perpetrators who meet the requirements for recidivist status. Since it is governed by Book Two, Chapter XXXI covering Rules for Repetition of Crimes Relating to Various Chapters, Articles 486 to Article 488, the present Criminal Code's position on recidivists is, in theory, not a general norm in this regard. Articles 486 through 488, however, define recidivist as a criminal aggravation for the kinds of criminal crimes included in the established provisions. The criminal punishments found in the Criminal Code correspond to the penalties found in a number of specific criminal legislation that are applied to repeat or recidivist offenders.

Published: August 2024

Indonesia is rich in diverse traditional cultural expressions that need to be protected from misuse or irresponsible commercialization. Efforts to safeguard these cultural expressions can be undertaken by integrating them into the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regime through comprehensive and effective legal regulations. The aim of this research is to formulate an ideal concept for regulating traditional cultural expressions within the IPR regime as a means to strengthen national identity in Indonesia, and to identify challenges and obstacles in integrating the protection of traditional cultural expressions into the IPR regime. This research employs normative legal research methods with legislative and conceptual approaches. The legal materials used include primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources, with data collection techniques through literature study and qualitative data analysis. The research results indicate that the ideal concept for regulating traditional cultural expressions within the IPR regime to strengthen national identity in Indonesia must include a clear definition of traditional cultural expressions and their criteria, the establishment of a comprehensive data and inventory system, provision of legal protection and management mechanisms involving the community owners, assurance of fair profit-sharing in case of commercial utilization, regulation of government and community roles in preservation, and the reinforcement of national identity by recognizing traditional cultural expressions as protected and promoted national assets. The main challenges and obstacles include the absence of clear definitions and criteria, issues of communal ownership, the diversity of cultural expressions, the need to balance protection and access for utilization, lack of community capacity and awareness, and limitations in resources and supporting infrastructure.

Published: August 2024

This study explores the application of the LBM MUDI Mesjid Raya's legal istinbath results (jurisprudential reasoning) at Samalanga, focusing on their methods and approaches to legal decision-making. Employing phenomenological and sociological approaches, the research integrates qualitative field and library research to analyze legal phenomena within social and religious contexts. Key participants included the chairman and officials of Lajnah Bahtsul Masail (LBM), as well as scholars from Dayah Mudi Mesra Samalanga, Aceh. Data collection methods comprised in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed by using a grounded theory approach, adhering to Miles and Huberman's stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that the approach of LBM MUDI Mesjid Raya is based on a systematic istinbath method and a qauli method that prioritizes classical texts. Their decision-making process incorporates multi-perspective problem analysis, consideration of the legal impact on social, political, and economic dimensions, and alignment with the principles of Ahlu al-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah. The two stages of discussion, which include both members and leadership, make sure that there is full discussion and careful thought. They do this by combining traditional textual bases with modern situations to uphold the principle of maslahah (public interest). The ilhaq masail bi nadhairiha method generates solutions for issues beyond the scope of classical qauli methods. This illustrates LBM's adaptability in addressing contemporary issues while maintaining a commitment to classical Islamic principles, demonstrating a balance between tradition and modern relevance.

Interactive Distraction Techniques Versus Midazolam in Anxiolysis In Pediatric Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Cagatay Uzay , Elias Jon , King Alexander
Published: August 2024

Background: Many pediatric patients experience high levels of anxiety prior to undergoing surgery. Midazolam is currently one of the most commonly used sedative drugs in the pediatric preoperative environment. A number of studies have evaluated the use of non-pharmacological methods of relaxing pediatric patients prior to surgery, known as ‘Interactive Distraction’. These techniques involve using various methods of distracting the child from the preoperative anesthetic procedures. Some examples of these methods involve giving the patient an iPad with which they can play video games. There have yet to be any systematic reviews comparing the usage of Midazolam alone against utilizing interactive distraction alone techniques to mitigate pediatric anxiolysis in the preoperative setting. We hypothesize that interactive distraction could be noninferior in reducing anxiety levels in these patients. Purpose: This systematic review and meta analysis compared the preoperative anxiolytic effects of Midazolam to interactive distraction techniques on a pediatric population. Methods: The systematic review and meta analysis followed the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Six online databases were surveyed (Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science). The analysis included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which pediatric patients received .3 mg/kg Midazolam alone or interactive distraction. Patient anxiety levels were measured using the modified Yale Perioperative Anxiety Scale (myPAS). MyPAS scores were evaluated at two distinct time marks, the first being arrival to the surgical ward whilst the other time mark measured was during induction of anesthesia. Two RCTs fit the inclusion criteria for the review, yielding 217 distinct evaluations. The average patient age was 6.79 ± 2.13. Results: The results portray clinically significant results as there was a low, but apparent difference in mean effect size with a difference of Cohen’s d = 0.21, in favor of utilizing the Midazolam. However, there was no statistical significance (p = 0.57) between utilizing Midazolam alone versus utilizing the interactive distraction techniques. Discussion: Utilization of .3 mg/kg Midazolam had clinically superior anxiolysis compared to the interactive distractions. A main limitation of our study is the relatively small sample size of 217 patients. Conducting additional RCTs with larger sample sizes would be beneficial in reinforcing our findings.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected countless people globally, resulting in a greater need for mental health professionals and resources1. The demand for mental health care is soaring yet the limitation of resources has strained the healthcare system, making it challenging to help patients in a timely manner2. This poster represents a snapshot of a larger project that is striving to investigate an intervention to help bridge the gap between patient need and prompt referral through a warm handoff approach and use of the PTSD Coach mobile application as well as exploring patients’ satisfaction3,4,5,6,8,9. In this poster, we analyze several measures from the DSM-5 CAPS-5 to assess the efficacy of the PTSD Coach Mobile Application and we also determine the distribution of traumatic life events that patients experienced at intake as per the DSM-5 LEC-57,10. Compared to intake, we observed that patients at follow-up had decreases in the mean values of subjective distress and impairment in occupational functioning, but an increase in the mean value of impairment in social functioning. Furthermore, feedback we received from study participants revealed mixed opinions regarding the application as well as inconsistent usage due to a variety of factors. As this is an ongoing study, the team is continuing to actively recruit participants and upon completion explore further the efficacy of the app as well as the warm handoff approach to facilitating care.

Interactions Between Repetitive Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Methylphenidate Administration on Catecholamine Transporter Protein Levels Within the Rodent Prefrontal Cortex
Authors: Abrimian Anna , Papadopoulos Eleni , Knapp Christopher P. , Loweth J. , Waterhouse Barry , Navarra Rachel
Published: August 2024

It is theorized that low concentrations of dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) within in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to increased risky behavior. Our lab has shown that repeated mild TBI (rmTBI) sex-differentially increases risky behavior in a rodent model. Methylphenidate (MPH) is a psychostimulant drug used to treat symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also driven by a hypo-catecholaminergic PFC. MPH elevates catecholamine levels by blocking DA and NE transporters, DAT and NET. While the potential of psychostimulants to treat post-TBI symptoms have been explored, the effects of sub-chronic MPH on transporter levels following rmTBI has not. To investigate this gap, we used the closed head-controlled cortical impact model to induce 3 mild injuries in Long Evans rats of both sexes. Rats received either saline or MPH (2mg/kg) daily for 7 days (4 groups; sham/saline, sham/MPH, rmTBI/saline, rmTBI/MPH). Brain tissue from the medial (mPFC) and orbitofrontal (OFC) regions of the PFC were collected and standard western blotting protocols were used to measure protein levels of NET, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and monoamine oxidase (MOA). Within the mPFC, female NET and VMAT levels were decreased in the rmTBI/saline group, while the rmTBI/MPH group’s protein levels did not differ from controls. In males, mPFC VMAT levels were decreased in both rmTBI groups. Within the OFC, NET and VMAT levels were decreased in the male rmTBI/MPH group only. These results suggest that rmTBI reduces transporter levels within regions of the PFC and that sub-chronic MPH treatment may produce restorative benefits on these protein levels in female, but not male rodents following rmTBI. We conclude that interactions between rmTBI and MPH on levels of catecholamine regulatory proteins may begin to elucidate sex differential changes in risk-taking behavior following injury and treatment.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Multiple Myeloma (MM) are hematologic malignancies that originate in the bone marrow and account for approximately 1.3% and 2% of cancer cases, respectively. AML is characterized by an accumulation of myeloblasts, or immature myeloid cells, that have the potential to spread to the peripheral blood. There is an uncontrolled proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow in MM. While the current treatment options for both AML and MM show promise in achieving initial remission, it is unfortunately common for patients to experience relapse and develop drug resistance. There is a theory that relapse and resistance could be attributed to the survival of progenitor cells with stem-cell-like properties in the protective niches of the bone marrow. Our research suggests that the plant, soursop, may have potential in combating hematologic cancers by triggering apoptosis and potentially preventing drug resistance and relapse. Soursop, scientifically known as Annona muricata, is a plant that thrives in tropical and subtropical regions. Every component of the plant, including the leaves, fruit, seeds, and bark, exhibit preventative properties against a wide range of diseases. Our study focuses on examining the effectiveness and mode of action of an extract obtained from soursop leaves. We aim to determine its potential in exhibiting anti-cancer properties, specifically against AML and MM cell lines. Our findings reveal that the extract from soursop leaves has the ability to trigger apoptosis and reduce cell viability in HL-60 and MM.1S cells. Through our research, we have discovered the inhibition or downregulation of the JAK/STAT pathway.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder known to cause dysphagia, the major contributor to mortality via aspiration pneumonia. The neurological basis of swallowing dysfunction in Parkinson patients is poorly understood. To explore the mechanisms of swallowing dysfunction, we studied the impact of rotenone treatment on respiration rate and swallowing rate in liquid-drinking rats. We hypothesized that rotenone treatment will cause a decrease in respiratory and swallowing rate compared to untreated liquid-drinking rats. Six rats were injected with 2.75 mg/kg/day intraperitoneal rotenone for 16 days to create the parkinsonian phenotype and subsequently recorded with 200fps video fluoroscopy during barium-infused liquid drinking. Before the first injection and on day 4, 7, 10 and 16, the number of swallows and number of breaths in a ten second period of continuous drinking were scored. The data was then analyzed using a type 3 Analysis of Variance with Satterthwaite's method to determine whether the rotenone injections impacted the respiration or swallowing rate. Rotenone injections led to a decrease in respiration rate, but no change in swallowing rate over a 16-day period. The p-value for respiration rate was less than 0.05 (0.02731) indicating a significant result, however the p-value for swallow rate was greater than 0.05. Immunohistochemistry of the dorsolateral striatum of rats that received rotenone treatment for 8 days and 16 days showed significant reduction in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunofluorescence with increased impact due to prolonged treatment. TH is the rate limiting step of catecholamine synthesis from tyrosine, confirming that rotenone is affecting dopamine production in order to influence swallowing dynamics. These results indicated that rotenone induced parkinsonian treatment has differential impacts on different brainstem mediated processes, swallowing and respiration. Thus, swallow-respiration coordination is likely impacted in these animals, potentially increasing risk of airway protection failure.
Investigating the Efficacy of Myo-Inositol in Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Scoping Review
Authors: Sharobeem Mariam
Published: August 2024

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects approximately 6 to 13% of adolescent girls in the United States.6 PCOS poses difficulty with diagnosing and treatment with adolescents as its symptoms are heterogenous and are often rationalized with other diagnoses. Key diagnostic features of PCOS include irregular menstruation, infertility, obesity, hirsutism, increased risk of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, lipid abnormalities and metabolic syndrome.12 Currently, there are no pharmacological therapies approved by the FDA to treat PCOS.5 Alternatives include pharmacological management of symptoms with medications like combined oral contraceptive pills, metformin and anti-obesity agents.6 Recently, more discussion about the lack of PCOS treatment has been circulating social media sites like TikTok and Youtube, platforms that have large adolescent audiences. With this discussion, there has been a large focus on using myo-inositol (MI), a supplement that is available over the counter, to treat PCOS. MI is a manufactured derivative of the body’s inositol that is used to reduce insulin resistance, improve ovarian function and lower androgen levels in females with PCOS.4 Understanding the efficacy of MI is vital across all medical specialties, as its mechanism affects the entire body and overall health.
Incorporating AI Tools to Enhance Information Literacy and Critical Thinking in First Year Medical Students
Authors: Martin James , Byrd Mercedes
Published: August 2024

This study aims to evaluate the impact of an educational intervention incorporating medical databases, search engines, and generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools on the critical thinking skills and confidence of first-year medical students at Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine (SOM). Approximately 125 students participating in a three-week pre-matriculation program will be subjects of the study. The intervention will consist of a curriculum focused on developing research questions, using search tools and GAI, evaluating sources, and writing a research paper. Pre- and post-tests, including a CARS assessment and a perceived knowledge and abilities questionnaire, will be administered to measure changes in critical analysis skills and confidence in research-related tasks. Data analysis will involve comparing pre- and post-test CARS scores using a paired t-test and analyzing responses to Likert-style and open-ended questions to assess changes in confidence and abilities. A survey conducted in February 2024 revealed that first-year medical students find AI tools helpful in saving time and effort, improving research and presentation skills, and enhancing clinical reasoning and problem-solving abilities. The study hypothesizes that the intervention will lead to improved CARS assessment scores, increased student confidence and abilities in various research-related tasks, and the establishment of a sustainable intervention that can be integrated into the SOM curriculum and shared with other medical schools through publication. The fair and accessible utilization of free AI resources is expected to provide uniform opportunities for all students to engage with research and analytical tools, ensuring that students' likelihood of success is not influenced by their background.
Intra-accumbens Microinfusion of the Dopamine D3 Receptor Partial Agonist (±)VK4-40 Does Not Affect Basal Locomotion in Mice

Published: August 2024

The opioid epidemic remains a pressing public health crisis, prompting the search for alternative pharmacotherapies for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This study explores the potential of the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) partial agonist, (±)VK4-40, as a novel treatment option. We investigated the impact of intra-nucleus accumbens (NAc) microinfusion of VK4-40 on basal locomotion in mice. Results indicate that VK4-40 did not significantly alter basal locomotion, suggesting that its therapeutic effects may not be mediated through disruptions in generalized motor function. Future research will focus on elucidating the neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying VK4-40's therapeutic actions and exploring its effects on psychostimulant-induced hyperlocomotion. These findings provide valuable insights into potential D3R-targeted pharmacotherapies for managing OUD.
Ontological Inquiry: The Absent Heart of the University

After defining and outlining the three movements of ontological inquiry, the author makes the case that ontological inquiry is rhetorical education at its best, concluding that making such inquiry central to the mission of the university may contribute to responding effectively to the complex of crises that academia and the world currently faces.
Ontological Constructivism in Higher Education: To Have, to Know, to Be
Authors: Dubé Richard
Published: August 2024

The first objective of this article is to acknowledge the significant contribution of constructivism in its ability to critically challenge what realism often takes for granted as certain or as the truth. The second is to explore how it could go much further, beyond thinking and into being. Having concerned itself mostly with epistemology and the transformation of our ways of thinking, constructivism has come to neglect ontology and the possible transformation of our ways of being. Such an ontological turn is considered important for the reform of higher education.
