From Old To New: An Analysis of Changes Between The Old and New Regime of Indonesian Investment Treaties
Authors: Andiansyah Mohamad Rafi
Published: May 2022

International Investment Law as a system relies heavily on the treaties applicable on a case-by-case basis. Most often these treaties are Bilateral Investment Treaties, treaties negotiated between States which offer to promote and protect investment in the two States Party. These treaties are responsible for promoting and protecting billions of dollars’ worth of investments and as such when a country as economically involved in a large region as Indonesia discontinues its existing BITs in hopes of renegotiating a “better” treaty, the situation warrants scrutiny. In 2014, the Government of Indonesia chose to terminate many of the existing BITs, and in 2018, the first of the wave of renegotiated BITs have appeared in the form of the 2018 Indonesia-Singapore BIT. The differences between the old and new BIT must be properly analyzed in order to approximate what impact these new BITs could have on the investment regime in Indonesia.

Prognostic importance of platelet/lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in proteinuria associated with primary glomerular diseases
Authors: Kemeç Zeki
Published: May 2022

Objective: Proteinuria is associated with inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation, and progression of kidney disease. The biological mechanisms by which platelet/lymphocyte rate (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte rate (NLR) variables play a role in mediating protein excretion are not fully known. Here we aimed to compare NLR and PLR variables between patients with the primary glomerular disease (PPGD) with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and healthy individuals (HIs). We divided the primary glomerular disease (PGD) participants into three sub-groups according to the level of proteinuria. In addition, a comparison was made between the sub-groups of patients with PGD in terms of these variables.
Methods: This cross-sectional, double arm, single center retrospective study was performed between January 2019 and April 2020. Serum platelet, total, and differential leukocyte analyses were evaluated using an automated cell counter. Biochemical analysis and 24-hour urinalysis in order to measure protein excretion and creatinine (Cr) clearance were performed using a chemistry analyzer. Of 225 participants in the study, 111 were patients with PGD, and 114 were HIs.
Results: A statistically significant difference was found when compared with PPGD and HI participants in terms of red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell (WBC), platelet, neutrophil, NLR, and PLR variables. PPGDs revealed higher median C-reactive protein (CRP) and lower median albumin levels compared to HIs. Age, gender, urea, Cr, CRP, WBC, RBC, HGB, platelet, neutrophil, lymphocyte, NLR, and PLR variables between the sub-groups of patients with PGD were not statistically significant. But, there was only a difference between the sub-groups of patients with PGD in terms of albumin levels.
Conclusions: Our data suggested that PLR and NLR can be used as predictors in PPGDs. Higher median CRP and lower median albumin levels were also associated with proteinuria in PPGDs.

La marca ciudad como instrumento de representatividad social y desarrollo: exploración de un caso mexicano
Authors: Morales-Holguín Arodi
Published: May 2022

Las ciudades se encuentran inmersas en una dinámica de competitividad en la búsqueda de atracción de inversiones, turismo y desarrollo, capaz de traducirse en beneficios para sus pobladores. Como parte de las estrategias que se han empleado se encuentra la marca-ciudad, la cual se ha transformando en una importante herramienta para la promoción de las ciudades en el mundo. El estudio de la marca-ciudad experimenta una constante evolución, dado que requiere adaptarse de manera sostenida a una dinámica siempre cambiante, lo que la ha llevado a ser entendida desde diseños y productos gráficos hasta un amplio ejercicio interdisciplinar; estrategia que destaca a tres actores fundamentales para su desarrollo y gestión: sociedad, gobierno e iniciativa privada. A pesar de que en México la marca-ciudad ha evidenciado crecimiento en los últimos años, se advierte la necesidad de una visión integral, ya que las metas gubernamentales al parecer se han sobrepuesto a lo social, su identidad y patrimonio, alejándose así de un discurso integrador; lo cual se traduce en una limitada representatividad y beneficios para sus ciudadanos. En dicha búsqueda, el propósito del estudio se centró en identificar los alcances de la estrategia de marca-ciudad y sus atribuciones como promotor del desarrollo y representatividad social, para lo cual se exploró el caso de una ciudad del noroeste de México y su marca, apoyado en un estudio cuantitativo que, con el método descriptivo para fines exploratorios, aplicó una encuesta a 150 habitantes. Los hallazgos apuntan a la necesidad de una mayor atención a la participación de los ciudadanos como impulsores de toda marca global; presentándose esto a su vez como una oportunidad de desarrollo.
Transformación geométrica en la arquitectura: la estructura ligera desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX
Authors: González-Meza Edwin
Published: May 2022

El presente artículo muestra un recorrido de las transformaciones geométricas influenciadas por los avances tecnológicos desarrollados posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, siendo las estructuras ligeras un punto deinflexión en las propuestas realizadas por los arquitectos e ingenieros de la época. El mundo de la posguerra, dañado por la crisis social y económica, retoma algunas formas de construir que iniciaban en la Revolución Industrial con la prefabricación y modulación de elementos constructivos, para evolucionarla a un  comportamiento espacial de la estructura o su transmisión de cargas por medio de membranas o cáscaras.Esta transformación daría inicio a un proceso de generación de geometrías complejas y formas libres como precursoras del estilo Deconstructivista que inicia a finales del siglo XX y el controvertido estilo Parametricismo, que el arquitecto inglés Patrik Schumacher consolida en la primera y segunda década del siglo XXI.Esta investigación analiza la evolución de la geometría en las estructuras ligeras posteriores a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, convirtiéndose en un punto de inflexión en la generación de propuestas arquitectónicas aplicadas en más de 70 años de transformaciones de la geometría de las edificaciones. En la actualidad, la generación de formas no es más una limitante en el desarrollo de un proyecto con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías digitales que surgen a principios de los años 80.

Published: May 2022

La etnografía es una forma de practicar la investigación. Gradualmente, el diseño se ha apropiado de ella para profundizar en el conocimiento y trabajo con laspersonas, ampliando nuestra capacidad de entenderlas en su contexto social y cultural de su cotidianidad. Ha pasado de ser sólo un método que informa al diseño a través de un especialista intermediario no necesariamente familiarizado con el diseño y su proceso, a una aproximación transdisciplinaria de la investigación en diseño, que busca enganchar los campos de la etnografía y del diseño, así como sus habilidades para extender su alcance disciplinario.El artículo muestra una revisión de cómo esta aproximación se ha transformado y consolidando, además el uso de la investigación etnográfica en diseño como método para desarrollar proyectos para personas con capacidades distintas.Finalmente, se plantea una reflexión sobre la utilidad de la investigación etnográfica en diseño para la exploración de otros temas de interés para nuestra disciplina.

Authors: Manju Devi  , Prof. Sanju Karol
Published: May 2022

The present paper provides an overview of rural- urban differences in health outcomes. The study explained the relevance of rural urban variations and deal with the determinants of rural - urban health variation. It tried attempting to examine the rural-urban Differentials across the major states of India. To investigate the rural -urban Differentials for this purpose, Twenty States have been considered. This analysis has been restricted only within child health, therefore only IMR has been taken into account. The study deals with the rural - urban trend in IMR and made a composite index of Health Determinants on the basis of health outcomes variables, by using the principal component analysis for major twenty states of India. It is quite evident that in case of IMAL, there exists much difference between the rural and urban areas in almost all the states. The states which have done well in urban areas have also performed well in rural areas. For the southern states namely Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh have really done well in IMHC, Goa’s performance in this index is also very commendable. As usual, EAG states lag behind the other states in IMHC in both rural and urban areas.
KEYWORDS: Rural Urban Health, IMR and Rural Urban variation in Socio-economic variables of health outcome.

Published: May 2022

The smart city concept imposed by the Batu City Government of East Java Province was adopted from the 4.0 industrial revolution, but in reality, it has not been successful. The majority of the farmers are over 50 years old, so they have difficulty accepting this innovation. To address these gaps, it is necessary to play the role of community development actors (instructors, facilitators, or empowerers) to create a balance in the socio-ecosystem. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the role of farmer assistant staff (TPP) to support agricultural extension to realize Batu smart city. The research was conducted in Batu City, especially Bumiaji, Junrejo, and Batu sub-districts. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive statistical data analysis. Data were obtained through interviews using questionnaires to farmers who received direct counseling and assistance from farmer assistants, especially in accessing Among Tani facilities. The respondent determination technique used in this study is saturated sampling. The samples selected were all Farmer Assistance Workers (TPP) in Batu City, totaling 40 people, 17 people from Bumiaji District, 13 people from Junrejo District, and ten people from Batu District. The results showed that the average age of the assistants was young and had a minimum education of S1 so that they were able to facilitate farmers, especially in accessing technology. The role of farmer assistants is very effective as facilitators, environmental analyzers, motivators, and farmer assistants, even though they are only included in the practical category as marketing partners. The effectiveness of farmer empowerment shows that from meeting the information needs needed by farmers, the level of cooperation between farmers and the level of innovation adaptation in the farmer's environment is high

Published: May 2022

Compacted Black Cotton Soils (BCS) used in geotechnical constructions such as dams and clayey liners in waste containment facilities can suffer from cracking due to swelling and shrinking during wet and dry seasons respectively. In order to reduce the shrinkage of the clayey soil, discrete fibre reinforcement such as the Sisal Fibre (SF) technique was used. An experimental study was carried out on the natural and the modified properties of the soil which include Atterberg limits, compaction, Unconfined compressive strength UCS (i.e., for varying Moulding Water Content (MWC) relative to Optimum Moisture Content (OMC); OMC-2, OMC, OMC+2, OMC+4) and Volumetric Shrinkage Strain (VSS) at MWC relative to OMC; (OMC-2, OMC, OMC+2, OMC+4) were determined, for different percentages inclusion of sisal fibre (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% SF). Results obtained show that the liquid limit and plasticity index of the natural soil are 44.47% and 18.65% which increased with an increase in the sisal fibre content. OMC increased from a value of 19% for the natural soil to a peak value of 24.5% at 1.5% of sisal fibre and thereafter decreased. The natural soil has a Maximum Dry Density (MDD) of 1.55 Mg/m3 which decreased to 1.5 Mg/m3 at 1.5% additive. The VSS of the modified soil significantly decrease compared to the natural soil and it continually decreased as the percentage of sisal fibre increased. The lowest VSS values were observed at 2% SF, having values of 2.85, 3.5, 4.75, and 5.5% for OMC-2, OMC, OMC+2, and OMC+4, respectively. The UCS initially increased and thereafter decreased. Based on the results, soil optimally treated with a maximum of 0.5% sisal fibre and compacted with OMC-2 significantly improved the soil and is recommended for use in waste containment applications.
An Overlap between Depression and Anxiety- A Literature Review
Authors: Wulandari Patricia
Published: May 2022

Most studies show a high overlap between depression and anxiety syndromes. Relevant data come from representative studies. In clinical settings, the relative proportion of comorbid cases is even higher than that found in representative population surveys. Individuals with two concomitant disorders, suffering from a high overall burden, are more likely to seek treatment than individuals with only one disorder (Berkson’s paradox). Both depression and anxiety syndromes also co-occur with other psychiatric conditions such as substance abuse or personality disorders.

Published: May 2022

The weather patterns and climatic conditions have been changing over the last decades. Environmental psychosocial stresses associated with the effects of climate change are known to cause mental health issues such as depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, substance abuse, ecological grief, relational problems, and psychological distress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of climate change on the mental health of smallholder crop farmers in Embu and Meru Counties of Kenya. A sample of 400 smallholder farmers was determined using Yamane’s formula then participants selected using quota sampling. Data collection utilized the Self-Reporting Questionnaire 20-item (SRQ-20) to assess the mental health of the smallholder crop farmers and a researcher formulated questionnaire to assess the effects of climate change as well as the coping mechanisms utilized by the farmers to cope with the effects of climate change and mental illnesses. The results indicate that prevalence of mental health issues among smallholder crop farmers in Embu and Meru is at 35.2%. Correlational analysis shows that the mental health of smallholder farmers in Embu and Meru has been affected by climate changes. This study recommends that the government, agricultural agencies, and other private partnerships should help smallholder crop farmers with creative and innovative ways of dealing with climate change. Owing to the prevalence of mental illness among smallholder crop farmers, the study recommends that farmers proactively seek mental health services to help them in managing mental illnesses. Farmers should engage in seminars that train them on effective coping mechanisms to deal with climate change on one hand and mental illness on the other. Government and private entities, that are able to, could facilitate access to free or subsidized mental healthcare to smallholder crop farmers since most of these farmers cannot afford mental healthcare.

Published: May 2022

Successful doctor-patient interaction in a medical setting heavily relies on negotiating communication practices in terms of language use. To the outsider, the medical setting is shrouded in the mystery of what happens inside and how near impossible it is for a non-medical practitioner to get access to a health facility for research purposes abound. Emanating from a recent successfully concluded linguistic study, aiming to determine the features of the language and strategies employed by doctors and patients in a male reproductive health clinic, this paper explores the procedures of gaining access from an outsider’s perspective. Thus responding to the existing myths about privacy and confidentiality of the medical profession vis a vis social science researchers. The paper provides an overview of how the researcher navigated around the gatekeepers and how patients’ consent, privacy, and confidentiality were taken care of during the study. Critiques and questions of methodology that arose in the academic genre are adequately addressed in this paper. The paper answers questions such as if reproductive health is sensitive and data in the medical setting problematic, how will the data for this particular study be collected? Will participant observation be convenient? Will patients allow the researcher to record the doctor-patient interaction despite the anonymity and privacy of the data?

Review question / Objective: What are the effects of diabetes mellitus on the calcium homeostasis in vascular endothelial cells? -To describe the effects of diabetes on the mechanisms that regulate intracellular calcium; -To describe other molecules/mechanisms that alters intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Condition being studied: Diabetes mellitus is a pathology with a high incidence in the population, characterized by an increase in blood glucose. People with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to suffer from a cardiovascular complication, such as total or partial loss of sight, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, among others. Cardiovascular complications have been reported to derive from dysfunction of endothelial cells, which have important functions in blood vessels. In order to understand the etiology of this poor function of endothelial cells, it is necessary to study the molecular mechanisms involved in these functions, to identify the effects of diabetes and thus, develop new research that will mitigate the effects of this pathology.

Environmental spoilage of petroleum hydrocarbons handling is essential to safe our resources and health. The amount of natural crude oil seepage was estimated to be 600,000 metric tons per 2 year with a range of uncertainty of 200,000 metric tons per year. Oil spilled in water tends to spread and form a slick. From the findings wind and wave action, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions may form. So the present study was carried out to isolate and characterize crude oil degrading microbes from crude oil contaminated marine water samples collected from Ennore, Tamil Nadu, India. The gravimetric analysis of degradation shows that two isolates, CDB1 and CDB2 among 5 isolates found to be potential for degradation of crude oil. The effective CDB1 and CDB2 isolates were further characterized morphological, physiological and Biochemical properties. The maximum crude oil degradation of 71.9% was achieved using CDB2 with 1% crude oil after 7 days of reaction. It is concluded that that the CDB2 isolate Such a bacterial species may be useful for preventing natural decontamination process.

The World Wide Web's introduction, as well as the rapid adoption of social media platforms (such as Facebook and Twitter), paved the way for unprecedented levels of knowledge distribution in human history. Certain entities, however, take advantage of such platforms, sometimes for monetary gain and sometimes for the purpose of promoting prejudiced viewpoints, changing mindsets, and disseminating satire or ridiculousness. This phenomenon is known as fake news. Because the spread of fake news can have serious consequences, such as election rigging and widening political divides, developing methods to detect fake news content is critical. A computerised classification system is used to classify a wide range of things. Fake news is a term used to describe this occurrence. Given the serious consequences of fake news, such as swaying elections and widening political divides, developing methods for detecting fake news content is critical. It is difficult to automate the classification of a text article as misinformation or disinformation. We suggest employing a machine learning ensemble approach for automatic classification in this paper. Our research looks into various textual properties such as word counts, term frequency, and inverse document frequency that can be used to distinguish between fake and real content. We train a Passive-Aggressive Classifier and evaluate its performance on real-world datasets using these properties. The datasets will be used in part to train and part to test the classifiers. It is possible to determine whether the news is fake or not by testing the different features of the datasets on the classifier.

Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint dislocation is rare, and the treatment options may vary from conservatives’ strategies to open reduction and fixation. In face of pain and joint instability persistence, surgical intervention is required. We present the case of a 67-year-old male that was referred to our hospital with pain and edema of the left hand, after the failure of a conservative treatment. After initial refusal of open surgery, due to the persistent joint instability, open reduction of the CMC joint dislocation was performed, and stabilized using two percutaneous Kirschner wires after repairing the joint capsule and dorsoradial ligament. Immobilization was required for 4 weeks. After that, the Kirschner wires were removed. Along with physiotherapy, the follow-up showed no pain persistence nor CMC joint luxation reoccurrence while the joint recovered its mobility. Further studies are required in order to determine the optimal therapy for such cases and to provide standardized recommendations, taking into account that the restoration of thumb CMC joint mobility is one of the most important goals in hand surgery.

Onychosis therapy is an ongoing challenge considering the diversity of nail pathology and the barrier function of the nail plate. Among the nail diseases, we identify the primary onychodystrophies, caused by tics or mental disorders, as well as severe onychoses, caused by bacterial and/or fungal infections, manifested by the degradation of the matrix and the nail bed. Onychosis treatment is complex, lasting 6-8 months, and is often frustrating for both patients and healthcare professionals. In this article we have described a series of common onychoses from the etiopathological point of view, briefly presenting the general therapeutic approach. We also highlighted the classic and modern pharmaceutical formulations used in local nail medication. From the perspective of recent approaches, there is the development of therapeutic systems for transungual administration that ensure the prolonged and controlled drug release to optimize the pharmacotechnical performance of medication used in local therapy of onychosis.
