Introdução
Craniofaringioma é uma malformação embrionária rara de natureza histológica benigna da região selar e suprasselar. O tratamento cirúrgico é a primeira opção terapêutica para essa condição, devido ao comprometimento da fluidez do líquido cefalorraquidiano pelo tumor e a morbidade envolvendo a visão, sistema endócrino e neuropsicológico desta condição; As duas principais abordagens cirúrgicas descritas na literatura são a transventricular e translamina-terminalis.
Objetivo
Analisar e identificar as principais condutas cirúrgicas terapêuticas e desfechos para o tratamento do craniofaringioma, a partir do relato de um raro caso de CF intraventricular.
Métodos
Trata-se de um relato de caso de uma paciente de 15 anos de idade diagnosticada com CF adenomatosa no terceiro ventrículo e submetida a uma cirurgia com shunt ventriculoperitoneal e abordagem transcalosa para exérese completa do tumor, que obteve desfecho favorável ao tratamento. O caso foi analisado a partir de uma breve revisão de literatura a fim de identificar a prevalência da doença.
ResultadosDevido a relação do terceiro ventrículo com estruturas complexas, a ressecção do tumor pode levar a injúrias como perda de memória, endocrinopatia exacerbada, hemiparesia ou perda da visão, o que requer. Há três principais abordagens de acesso ao terceiro ventrículo: transcortical, endoscópica e transcalosa, porém a opção terapêutica mais apropriada permanece controversa na literatura. A escolha adequada deve se basear no tamanho, composição, localização e características anatômicas do tumor.
ConclusãoA decisão quanto a abordagem cirúrgica para acessar o terceiro ventrículo e remover a lesão com segurança é importante para determinar o desfecho e prognóstico da doença. Além disso, é fundamental um segmento interdisciplinar entre a neurointensiva e a oncologia para a recuperação do paciente.

Introdução
Em cirurgias de tireoidectomia, há chances consideráveis de lesão do nervo acessório, principalmente em tireoidectomias estendidas. Caso o paciente apresente lesão desse nervo, podem surgir queixas como a dificuldade de movimentação dos músculos esternocleidomastoideo e trapézio, territórios inervados pelo XI NC (nervo craniano).
Descrição do Caso
Paciente do sexo feminino, 37 anos, submetida em 27/07/2021 a uma tireoidectomia total em razão de carcinoma papilífero e evoluiu com fraqueza do músculo trapézio esquerdo secundária à provável lesão do nervo acessório esquerdo. RNM de plexo braquial esquerdo corrobora tal hipótese. Ela apresenta força grau II no trapézio esquerdo e ENMG dos membros superiores compatível com mononeuropatia do XI NC esquerdo. O ramo que inerva esternocleidomastoideo promove a eversão lateral do pescoço e está preservado. Somente após 6 meses a tireoidectomia, a paciente chegou à consulta neurológica se queixando de dor frequente no ombro, na região da escápula esquerda. Então, foi realizada uma exploração cervical com descompressão do nervo acessório esquerdo, especificamente do ramo que inerva o trapézio, a fim de restabelecer o movimento de elevação escapular.
Comentários
O carcinoma papilífero de tireoide representa 85% dos cânceres tireoidianos, cuja incidência é 3 vezes maior entre mulheres do que entre homens. Sabe-se que há chances de lesão do nervo acessório em tireoidectomias como procedimento necessário a pacientes com quadro de câncer tireoidiano. Essa complicação pós-operatória a tireoidectomias pode afetar a funcionalidade dos movimentos realizados pela musculatura inervada pelo nervo acessório, levando a, por exemplo, paresias temporárias desse nervo. Contudo, depois de cirurgia descompressiva do nervo acessório, a maioria dos pacientes tem o retorno total da funcionalidade em questão.
Conclusão
No caso descrito, a paciente foi transferida tardiamente à avaliação neurológica, relatando frequente dor no ombro e dificuldade de movimentação de tal região. Em um mês de acompanhamento pós-operatório, apresenta significativa melhora da força no trapézio esquerdo (grau IV). Embora observe-se um ganho de força considerável, caso ela tivesse chegado à consulta num intervalo menor que os 6 meses posteriores à sua tireoidectomia total, poderia haver um desfecho clínico ainda melhor.

IntroductionSleep disorders are a class of diseases that affect the natural sleep-wake cycle mechanism, regulated mainly by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which, when activated, initiates an alert response to threatening or stressful events. Such dysregulations set is capable of negatively affects the quality of sleep and productivity, either due to insufficient sleep or ineffectiveness of rest. These changes are traditionally treated by the use of drugs. However, new interventions such as the use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation may represent an alternative to the common treatment.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of tDCS as a non-pharmacological option to improve sleep quality.
MethodsThe analysis followed the PRISMA methodology guidelines. This research was performed in the Scielo, Lilacs, Bireme and Pubmed repositories, using three descriptors: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Treatment and Sleep Disorders. Data collection was limited to the last five years and the English language. 48 works were found, of which 06 accorded the inclusion criteria, evaluated by three reviewers.
ResultsIt was identified that 66.7% of the selected articles directly analyze the use of tDCS to the treatment of sleep disorders, either directly or as a consequence of secondary pathologies (migraine, fibromyalgia, HIV, anxiety and depression). In these studies, improvements were observed related to overall sleep efficiency and quality, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep time prolongation, evaluated using specific parameters such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
ConclusionThe use of tDCS in the treatment of sleep disorders is effective as an auxiliary source in the treatment of this group of diseases, ensuring the resumption of patients' quality of life by improving the quality and time of sleep. However, there is a need for further studies in order to evaluate the best ways to apply the technique, enabling understanding of the parameters of use related to the number and time of sessions, voltage value, anatomical region and possible effects on secondary pathologies.

Published: December 2022

Studies have shown that there is a strong association between diabetes mellitus and colorectal cancer. The risk of colorectal cancer is reported to be increased by 19% for people with diabetes mellitus. However, the knowledge and awareness regarding diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for colorectal cancer in the local community in Pahang was yet to be determined. Therefore, to start with, this study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and awareness of diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for colorectal cancer among IIUM Kuantan students, the sociodemographic characteristics contributing to the levels and the correlation of the level of knowledge and awareness. A total of 127 IIUM Kuantan students participated in this cross-sectional study by responding to a self-administered questionnaire that has been developed using the available literature on the association of diabetes mellitus and colorectal cancer. The questionnaire was first validated (I-CVI=1.00), and pilot study was also conducted to evaluate the reliability of the knowledge (α=0.788) and awareness (α=0.795) items using Cronbach’s alpha value. Then, data was collected throughout April 2022 by distributing the questionnaire through an online platform among the targeted participants. The results are analyzed with non-parametric tests: Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test using the SPSS. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05 at a 95% confidence level. This study revealed a poor level of knowledge (n=82, 64.6%) and awareness (n=72, 56,7%) of diabetes mellitus as a risk factor of colorectal cancer among the IIUM Kuantan students. There was a moderate positive correlation between the level of knowledge and awareness of IIUM Kuantan students on diabetes mellitus as a risk factor of colorectal cancer (r=0.608, p<0.001). These levels of knowledge and awareness, however, were not significantly associated with any sociodemographic variables. Therefore, this study proves that there is a need to improve the knowledge and awareness of the IIUM Kuantan students. Hence, the university could take action by organizing programs to spread the knowledge on this issue to the students, in order to enhance their awareness of the risk of colorectal cancer by diabetes mellitus.
Pruned Inside-Out Polytopes, Combinatorial Reciprocity Theorems and Generalized Permutahedra
Authors: Rehberg Sophie
Published: December 2022

Generalized permutahedra are a class of polytopes with many interesting combinatorial subclasses. We introduce pruned inside-out polytopes, a generalization of inside-out polytopes introduced by Beck-Zaslavsky (2006), which have many applications such as recovering the famous reciprocity result for graph colorings by Stanley. We show (quasi-)polynomiality and reciprocity results for the integer point count of pruned inside-out polytopes by applying classical Ehrhart polynomials and Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity. This yields a geometric perspective on and a generalization of a combinatorial reciprocity theorem for generalized permutahedra by Aguiar-Ardila (2017), Billera-Jia-Reiner (2009), and Karaboghossian (2022). Applying this reciprocity theorem to hypergraphic polytopes allows to give a geometric proof of a combinatorial reciprocity theorem for hypergraph colorings by Aval-Karaboghossian-Tanasa (2020). This proof relies, aside from the reciprocity for generalized permutahedra, only on elementary geometric and combinatorial properties of hypergraphs and their associated polytopes.

Published: December 2022

Solar power-based photovoltaic energy conversion could be considered one of the best sustainable sources of electric power generation. Thus, the prediction of the output power of the photovoltaic panel becomes necessary for its efficient utilization. The main aim of this paper is to predict the output power of solar photovoltaic panels using different machine learning algorithms based on the various input parameters such as ambient temperature, solar radiation, panel surface temperature, relative humidity and time of the day. Three different machine learning algorithms namely, multiple regression, support vector machine regression and gaussian regression were considered, for the prediction of output power, and compared on the basis of results obtained by different machine learning algorithms. The outcomes of this study showed that the multiple linear regression algorithm provides better performance with the result of mean absolute error, mean squared error, coefficient of determination and accuracy of 0.04505, 0.00431, 0.9981 and 0.99997 respectively, whereas the support vector machine regression had the worst prediction performance. Moreover, the predicted responses are in great understanding with the actual values indicating that the purposed machine learning algorithms are quite appropriate for predicting the output power of solar photovoltaic panels under different environmental conditions.

Published: December 2022

In the recent era of technology, biomedical signals have been attracted lots of attention regarding the development of rehabilitation robotic technology. The surface electromyography (SEMG) signals are the fabulous signals utilized in the field of robotics. In this context, SEMG signals have been acquired by twenty-five right-hand dominated healthy human subjects to discriminate the various hand gestures. The placement of SEMG electrodes has been done according to the predefined acupressure point of required hand movements. After the SEMG signal acquisition, pre-processing and noise rejection have been performed. The de-noising and four levels of SEMG signal decomposition have been accomplished by discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this article, the third and fourth-level detail coefficients have been utilized for time-scale feature extractions. The performance of ten time-scale features has been evaluated and compared to each other with the three-fold cross-validation technique by using a Decision Tree (DT) and Linear Regression (LR) classifier. The results demonstrated that the DT classifier classification accuracy was found superior to the LR classifier. By using the DT classifier technique 96.3% accuracy has been achieved, with all combined features as a feature vector.

Systems design for the non-volatile application must work on less energy or power. The spin-transfer torque-magnetic tunnel junction (STT-MTJ) devices added to the flip-flops which are regarded as non-volatile storage devices. Those are addresses to save the energy of that system stated by the nonvolatile logic. The changes during the production of STT-MTJ and CMOS transistors decrease the yield, which leads to overdesign as well as more energy consumption. The total processes of driver circuitry design for the tradeoffs for backup and restore performance. A new method called the novel method is introduced for flawless energy drivers for given results. The design for the backup time determination and to reduce the energy wastage are mentioned. To get an efficient output of 98% this approach needs to dissipate 5 times more energy than initially required. This method can dissipate the energy up to 26%. It also contains the nonvolatile flip-flop (NVFF) which has energy consumption more when it is used in the functional blocks.

Published: December 2022

Discriminating relevant from irrelevant information in a busy visual scene is supported by statistical regularities in the environment. However, it is unclear to what extent immediate stimulus repetitions and higher order expectations (whether a repetition is statistically probable or not) are supported by the same neural mechanisms. Moreover, it is also unclear whether target and distractor-related processing are mediated by the same or different underlying neural mechanisms. Using a speeded target discrimination task, the present study implicitly cued subjects to the location of the target or the distractor via manipulations in the underlying stimulus predictability. In separate studies, we collected EEG and MEG alongside behavioural data. Results showed that reaction times were reduced with increased expectations for both types of stimuli and that these effects were driven by expected repetitions in both cases. Despite the similar behavioural pattern across target and distractors, neurophysiological measures distinguished the two stimuli. Specifically, the amplitude of the P1 was modulated by stimulus relevance, being reduced for repeated distractors and increased for repeated targets. The P1 was not, however, modulated by higher order stimulus expectations. These expectations were instead reflected in modulations in ERP amplitude and theta power in frontocentral electrodes. Finally, we observed that a single repetition of a distractor was sufficient to reduce decodability of stimulus spatial location and was also accompanied by diminished representation of stimulus features. Our results highlight the unique mechanisms involved in distractor expectation and suppression and underline the importance of studying these processes distinctly from target-related attentional control.

Preclinical Substantiation of the Use of Implants for Osteosynthesis from Carbon-Carbon Composite Material
Authors: Holovakha M.L. , Chornyi V.V.
Published: December 2022

Background. Metals used for the manufacture of various implants for traumatology have all the necessary mechanical properties, but these materials are able to oxidize. In comparison, carbon has excellent biocompatibility. Carbon-carbon composite material (CCCM) is 2-4 times lighter than a similar metal implant, has a stiffness and modulus of elasticity close to similar indicators of a human bone, not prone to the effect of fatigue stress, and is characterized by chemical resistance in the body and high biocompatibility.

Objective. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the features of bone regeneration according to pathomorphological analysis in an experiment on animals.

Material and Methods. Carbon-carbon composite material for intromedular osteosynthesis after experimental fracture on white outbred male Wistar rats (n=18) was used in the experiment. A stainless steel rod (n=18) was used for control. Subsequently, rats of both groups were kept in standard vivarium conditions.

Results. Histological examination revealed that the use of implants with CCCM did not disrupt vascularization and angiogenesis in the fracture zones. During the analysis of the contact of bone tissue and implant material, it was determined that in the larger area of ​​the perimeter of the pin with CCCM, a newly formed bone was located directly on its surface, filling its irregularities. In the case of the use of stainless steel rods, a significant number of lymphocytes were accumulated around the newly formed blood vessels directly adjacent to small hemorrhages, which were always observed at the fracture site.

Conclusions. Regeneration of an experimental rat femur fracture after osteosynthesis with carbon-carbon composite implants did not differ significantly from fracture fusion after osteosynthesis with a stainless steel implant.

Published: December 2022

Relevance. There are a large number of clinical tests for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tendon injuries and their consequences. Timely collected anamnesis and a thorough clinical examination are the key to an accurate diagnosis and the choice of treatment tactics.

Objective: to determine the diagnostic value of clinical tests in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy.

Materials and Methods. Clinical examination and surgical treatment of 110 patients with pathology of the shoulder joint, who had limited or complete lack of movement in the shoulder joint. The study of clinical results was performed in 2 groups: group I (60 patients) with rotator cuff arthropathy and group II (50 patients) with osteonecrosis of the humeral head. All patients were examined according to a single standard (clinical, radiological, and MRI examination). The clinical examination was performed in the standard way with special tests: the Jobe test, the Neer test, the Full can test, the Patte test, the Lift-off test, and the Hawkins-Kennedy test.

Results and Conclusions. As a result of the analysis of clinical research data in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, it was established that the clinical picture was distinguished by the polymorphism of manifestations and was closely related to undiagnosed damage to the structures of the shoulder joint. In patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, the most informative tests were (1) the Lift-off test: sensitivity (95.45%), specificity (73.33%), accuracy (86.49%), positive predictive value (PVP) (84.00%) and negative predictive value (PVN) (91.67%), and (2) the Full can test: sensitivity (89.80%), specificity (72.50%), accuracy (82.02%), as well as PVP (80.00%) and PVN (85.29%). In patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, the pain syndrome remained in most cases, which increased the sensitivity of the Lift-off test to 95.45% and the Full can test to 89.80%. The least specific clinical tests in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy were the Patte test (63.83%) and the Hawkins-Kennedy test (58.82%). No clinical test is reliable enough to diagnose rotator cuff arthropathy or osteonecrosis.
Ceramic-on-Ceramic Bearings in Total Joint Arthroplasty. Part 2
Authors: Zazirnyi I.M.
Published: December 2022

Summary. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) currently provides durable long-term outcomes, but osteolysis secondary to polyethylene wear debris remains a fundamental cause of aseptic loosening and revision. Conventional polyethylene failed to provide a suitable bearing for young active patients requiring joint replacement because of the significant demands they place on such bearings. Strategies to reduce friction and wear debris lead to the development of ceramic bearings in THA. The next decade is unlikely to see a paradigm shift in the materials used for THA. Instead, the challenges will be dedicated to improve surgical technique in terms of component orientation to improve reproducibility and achieve superior patient outcomes. The optimum bearing surface is one with very low wear rates, a low coefficient of friction, scratch resistance, and is biologically inert. It is also one that can safely accommodate larger femoral head sizes to minimize dislocation rates without damaging the taper junction. Such a material already exists with modern ceramic bearings.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases that has become a global health problem and causes a variety of adverse health effects, including psychological factors such as poor socioeconomic conditions, lack of social support, and decreased quality of life due to a diagnosis that causes anxiety in the majority of pulmonary TB patients. Consequently, proper treatment measures are required to limit the prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis and its potential consequences. This research intends to investigate the effect of listening to Asmaul Husna on anxiety in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at Makassar's TK II Pelamonia Hospital. The descriptive technique is a case study of two individuals with pulmonary tuberculosis who meet the following criteria: age > 20 years, Muslim, first 3 months of therapy, willingness to be responders, and excellent orientation. Using a smartphone, patients hear 99 names or traits of Allah that are beneficial for treating the ailment 1 time each day for 10 to 15 minutes. The data were descriptively examined and provided in tabular format. The first responder reported mild anxiety both before and after hearing the Asmaul Husna on the first day of the visit, whereas the second respondent experienced moderate anxiety both before and after hearing the Asmaul Husna. On the second day, the degree of anxiety experienced by the first respondent remained the same as on the first day (moderate scale), however the level of anxiety experienced by the second respondent dropped or eliminated after hearing Asmaul Husna.

O objetivo do estudo é estimar os efeitos dos subsídios de apoio interno de países terceiros sobre as exportações agrícolas brasileiras. O estudo contribui com a literatura existente ao aplicar ao conjunto de dados os subsídios fornecidos pela Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) para diferentes níveis de desagregação do apoio governamental. O modelo gravitacional é aplicado para fluxos agrícolas agregados e desagregados por produtos e para as exportações brasileiras e mundiais, o que permite comparação dos resultados. Ao considerar as exportações de todos os produtos do agronegócio, o suporte ao produtor (producer support estimate – PSE) tem um efeito negativo sobre os envios do Brasil no período analisado. Considerando as estimativas de suporte a serviços gerais (general services support estimate – GSSE) e as estimativa de suporte ao consumidor (consumer support estimate – CSE), que tratam dos subsídios gerais ao setor e do apoio aos consumidores de produtos agrícolas, respectivamente, estes não apresentaram significância estatística. Partindo para uma análise mais detalhada no âmbito setorial, os resultados foram distintos para diferentes setores: em relação à soja em grãos, principal produto da pauta exportadora agrícola brasileira, o subsídio específico por produto (single commodity transfers – SCT) não apresentou significância estatística sobre os envios brasileiros. Ademais, as exportações de milho, carne suína e carne bovina do Brasil parecem ter uma relação positiva com os subsídios fornecidos pelos países concorrentes, enquanto os envios de açúcar parecem ser afetados de forma negativa. No setor de pesca e aquicultura, a indisponibilidade de dados afetou a obtenção de resultados econométricos para o Brasil, mas quando consideradas as exportações mundiais, foi possível constatar uma relação positiva de subsídios e exportações, ou seja, os subsídios fornecidos à pesca e aquicultura pelos países podem ter contribuído para o aumento das exportações desse setor.
TD 2814 - Previsão de inflação : análise preliminar de desempenho de técnicas de Machine Learning
Authors: Santos Francisco Luna , Nolau Izabel
Published: December 2022

Neste Texto para Discussão testamos diversos modelos de previsão de inflação e da atividade econômica brasileira, a partir de dados macroeconômicos e estimativas de especialistas, referentes ao período entre janeiro de 2002 e outubro de 2019, com frequência mensal. Devido à alta dimensão do conjunto de variáveis explicativas, nos concentramos em modelos associados à técnica de machine learning (ML) que oferecem diferentes abordagens para lidar com grandes conjuntos de dados e os comparamos com modelos de referência. Nossos resultados indicam que, para horizontes de previsão de curto prazo (um e três meses), os métodos de ML melhoram substancialmente as previsões de inflação. Para o horizonte de um mês, o Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso) é o método com melhor desempenho, e a combinação dos melhores modelos de ML por horizonte é o destaque para o horizonte de três meses. No entanto, para horizontes de previsão mais longos (seis meses e doze meses), os modelos de ML e suas combinações não superam as expectativas de especialistas, ainda que as combinações de métodos de ML superem as metodologias tradicionais. Na previsão para o produto interno bruto (PIB), ocorre o contrário. Os modelos de ML não têm desempenho satisfatório para o horizonte mais curto, mas as combinações (horizonte de três e doze meses) e o complete subset regression (CSR) (horizonte de seis meses) superam os modelos tradicionais.

Published: December 2022

A contribuição deste estudo consiste em analisar a recente expansão da Iniciativa Cinturão e Rota (em inglês, Belt and Road Initiative – BRI) na América Latina e no Caribe (ALC). O trabalho justifica-se pelo perceptível adensamento, bem como diversificação das transações entre a região e a China nos últimos anos. O avanço da BRI na ALC é interpretado à luz das formulações do campo da Cooperação Internacional para o Desenvolvimento (CID). Os casos específicos de países latino-americanos selecionados foram analisados, destacando-se suas particularidades. Argumenta-se que a adesão desses países à iniciativa não constitui um fenômeno homogêneo, mas dotado de potenciais e desafios plurais.
“Garden areas of 50 ft. by 75 ft.”: The making of Batho as a South African “garden location” with special reference to its ornamental gardens (c. 1918–1939)
Authors: du Bruyn Derek
Published: December 2022

In 1918, Batho was founded as one of South Africa’s first so-called “model locations”. In addition to sound town planning and layout, brick houses, and public amenities, Batho also became known for its “generous” plots or “garden areas of 50 ft. by 75 ft.” and the ornamental front gardens that were laid out on them. The Bloemfontein municipality’s decision to provide residents with “garden areas” was motivated by a number of reasons, most of which were of a political nature and embedded in the segregationist ideology of the time. This article discusses the “garden areas” and the gardens that were laid out on them by Batho’s gardeners. Furthermore, the article investigates the city council’s efforts to turn the “model location” into a “garden location” and the Batho gardeners’ own efforts to this effect during the period 1918–1939. The gardeners’ front gardens resembled the English-style gardens that were popular among Bloemfontein’s whites during the 1920s and 1930s. Information obtained through archival research, field work, and oral history interviews point to the gardeners’ preference for a simple formal axial garden layout enclosed by clipped hedges and often adorned with topiary. A fondness of topiary encouraged Batho’s gardeners to create hedges, edges, and a variety of other topiary styles which had gradually evolved into a style of topiary that may be described as “township topiary”. Over time “township topiary” became a tangible expression of a unique garden identity among Batho’s gardeners. Due to the processes of acculturation and intercultural influence, which involved the Dutch, British, and African cultures, Batho’s historical and present gardens are described as semi-vernacular or “hybrid”. Most gardens display an unmistakable English cottage-garden style but a distinctly African accent is also visible.
The Legalization Of Medical Cannabis: A Comparative Approach Of The Thai Narcotics Act B.E.2522 (1979)
Authors: INDRIANI Eviera Riza , MADJID Abdul
Published: December 2022

Based on Appendix I, point 8 of Law no. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, Cannabis is classified as Schedule I narcotics. Referring to Article 7 of Law 3 of 2009, narcotics other than Schedule I can be used to benefit health services and the development of science and technology. Meanwhile, narcotics from Schedule I can only be used to develop science and technology. Thus, Cannabis can only be used for the development of science and technology with the permission of the Minister of Health and the recommendation of the Head of the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM). This study compares favorable laws regarding narcotics, especially Cannabis, which is regulated in the law of Indonesia and Thailand. This study also explores the regulation of Cannabis as an alternative in the future in Indonesia. In normative law research, statutory and comparative approaches compare the Narcotics Laws in Indonesia and Thailand. Cannabis is not included in the Narcotics class that can be used for health since it is classified as Schedule I. On the official website of the Royal Gazette, it was announced that Thailand had legalized the use of Cannabis as a medical alternative. It will be legalized 120 days after the announcement is made.
The Construct Of New Media Communication Domain As Television Broadcast Mediamorphosis Output (Television Morphosis)
Authors: REVOLUSI Prabu
Published: December 2022

The adaptation process must be carried out to enable television to become a new media entity and avoid competing with media entities born in the new media ecosystem (organic new media entities). This research provides a road map of television change (televisimorphosis), which originally appeared in Fidler broadcasting communication to television within the domain of new media communication. The adaptation process follows the stages of coevolution, convergence, and complexity. One of the previous findings is that coevolution is the stage television should avoid in media adaptation. This finding confirms the data regarding why television is struggling to adapt to the new media ecosystem. Fidler's mediamorphosis is used as the rationale for this research. However, Fidler’s work does not sufficiently explain new media, so we re-constructed the communication domain concept built by Fidler by building a new communication domain, namely the new media communication domain. The results of this study propose the construction of a new media communication domain. The communication domain will be divided into four domains, including the domain we added, called the New Media Communications Domain, or IoT (Internet of Things) Communications Domain. Within the multidomain convergence process, terms of the format will cross over and give rise to a new character for television, namely Panoramic (Audio Visual Text).
