Authors: Lubis Diana
Published: September 2020

Sengketa tanah adalah tentang sengketa penguasaan dan kepemilikan tanah sedangkan yang lainnya adalah sengketa hak dan sengketa batas/letak tanah. Hal ini jelas menunjukkan, sebagian besar masyarakat telah mengetahui hak mereka terhadap tanah yang mereka miliki dan kuasai.

 

Permasalahan dalam skripsi ini adalah apa yang menjadi unsur dari perbuatan melawan hukum, bagaimana hubungan antara perbuatan melawan hukum dengan penguasaan tanah tanpa hak. bagaimana pertanggungjawaban perbuatan melawan hukum terhadap penguasaan dan pengelolaan tanah tanpa hak.

 

Metode yang dipergunakan dalam penulisan skripsi ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis normatif. Sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan studi pustaka untuk mentelaah data-data sekunder.

 

Berdasarkan permasalahan yang dikemukakan, maka ditarik kesimpulan bahwa unsur dari perbuatan melawan hukum adalah perbuatan melawan hukum yang dilakukan oleh pelaku dan perbuatan tersebut bertentangan dengan hak orang lain yaitu wewenang khusus yang diberikan oleh hukum kepada seseorang untuk digunakan bagi kepentingannya. Hubungan antara perbuatan melawan hukum dengan penguasaan tanah tanpa hak terjadi apabila dilakukn pengambilan dan penguasaan tanah-tanah yang sudah dimiliki/dikuasai oleh masyarakat. Hak seseorang atas tanah semestinya harus dihormati, dalam pengertian tidak boleh orang lain melakukan tindakan yang melawan hukum untuk memiliki/menguasai tanah tersebut. Hak seseorang atas tanah harus didukung oleh bukti hak dapat berupa sertifikat, bukti hak tertulis non sertifikat atau pengakuan/ keterangan yang dapat dipercaya kebenarannya. Jika penguasaan atas tanah dimaksud hanya didasarkan atas kekuasaan, arogansi atau kenekatan semata, pada hakekatnya penguasaan tersebut sudah melawan hokum dan berdasarkan hukum tidak dapat disebut bahwa yang bersangkutan mempunyai hak atas tanah. Pertanggungjawaban perbuatan melawan hukum terhadap penguasaan dan pengelolaan tanah tanpa hak dapat dimintakan pertanggungjawaban perdata dan tuntutan ganti rugi.

Disebabkan perkembangan dunia telematika khususnya internet semakin pesat yang menyebabkan terjadinya transaksi elektronik, maka untuk mencegah terjadinya hal-hal yang dapat menimbulkan kerugian bagi para pihak yang terikat dalam suatu transaksi, diperlukan suatu pembuktian ataupuan keabsahan dari suatu tanda tangan. Dalam pembahasan penelitian ini penulis mengangkat permasalahan tentang Bagaimana kekuatan hukum penggunaan tanda tangan elektronik dalam transaksi e-commerce menurut Hukum Perdata, serta bagaimana upaya hukum jika terjadi wanprestasi dalam transaksi E-Commerce. Dalam penulisan penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode telaah pustaka (library research) untuk mentelaah data-data sekunder dan juga melakukan penelusuran melalui situs internet. Berdasarkan permasalahan yang dikemukakan, maka ditarik kesimpulan bahwa Dengan adanya sertifikat digital yang terdapat dalam transaksi elektronik yang pada umumnya memuat tanda tangan elektronik sudah seharusnya tidak perlu dibuktikan seabsahannya lagi didalam pengadilan karena menurut pengamatan penulis bahwa data yang terdapat dalam sertifikat elektronik telah terjamin keamanannya oleh standar keamanan internasional. Tanda tangan elektronik sesuai dengan fungsi hakiki yang dimiliki olah tanda tangan konvensional pada hakekatnya memiliki kesamaan keberadaan hukum dengan tanda tangan konvensional pada kertas sehingga tanda tangan elektronik telah diakui keabsahannya dalam dunia perdaganan internasional. Upaya hukum yang dilakukan jika terjadi wanprestasi salah satu pihak dalam penggunaan tanda tangan elektronik dalam transaksi melalui E-Commerce, maka pihak yang dirugikan dapat meminta pertanggung jawaban dari pihak yang menimbulkan kerugian untuk memberi ganti rugi kepada pihak yang telah dirugikan..
PENERAPAN HUKUM TERHADAP ASAS KEPERCAYAAN DI DALAM TRANSAKSI JUAL-BELI ON-LINE
Authors: Rahendra Lubis M. Faisal
Published: September 2020

Perkembangan teknologi memang telah memberikan dampak positif terhadap perkembangan hukum bisnis, terutama sejak dikembangkannya internet. Melakukan transaksi jual-beli secara on-line adalah salah satu dari bentuk berkembangnya teknologi. Masyarakat melakukan transaksi jual-beli tidak perlu betatap muka langsung terhadap penjualnya melainkan bisa membeli suatu barang dengan mudah dan dirumah saja. Dalam melakukan transaksi tersebut penjual maupun pembeli harus melakukan perjanjian jual-beli secara on-line dimana melakukan jual-beli secara on-line tersebut haruslah memenuhi unsur-unsur dalam perjanjian jual-beli. Perjanjian jual-beli secara on-line tersebut sangat memerlukan suatu kepercayaan antara penjual dan membeli. Asas kepercayaan sangat penting dalam kegiatan jual-beli karena kepercayaan dapat menimbulkan sebuah keyakinan. Oleh karena itu penjual dan pembeli terlebih dahulu harus menumbuhkan kepercayaan di antara mereka, bahwa satu sama lain akan memenuhi janji yang di telah disepakati. Penerapan hukum terhadap asas kepercayaan dalam transaksi jual-beli on-line terdapat dalam Pasal 1338 KUHPerdata yaitu bahwa dalam melakukan suatu perjanjian jual-beli harus dilaksanakan dengan itikad baik dari penjual maupun pembeli.

TINJAUAN ATAS PEMBERITAAN YANG BERINDIKASI ADANYA PENCEMARAN NAMA BAIK OLEH MEDIA MASA
Authors: Ridwan Lubis Muhammad , Nurita Cut
Published: September 2020

Hingga saat ini sejauh mana kebebasan pers di Indonesia masih diperdebatkan. Pihak pers menganggap kebebasan pers masih kurang dan terlalu dibatasi oleh undang-undang. Masyarakat berpendapat sebaliknya. Menilik berbagai pelanggaran kode etik yang dilakukan pers, ada pendapat bahwa undang- undang yang mengatur kebebasan pers perlu direvisi kembali agar pihak pers tidak ‘kebablasan’. Namun kenyataannya, pemberitaan yang dianggap merugikan telah terkena kepada pimpinan redaksi dan wartawan SKM “OPOSISI” di Medan, yaitu Dahri Uhum alias Atok Ai dan Drs Daham Siregar, yang dihukum hakim Pengadilan Negeri Medan masing-masing selama 1 (satu) tahun penjara, karena terbukti telah sah dan meyakinkan bersalah melakukan tindak pidana secara bersama-sama menista dengan tulisan. Putusan PN Medan tersebut telah dikuatkan sampai tingkat kasasi di Mahkamah Agung. Perumusan masalah yang diajukan dalam penelitian ini adalah bilakah suatu pemberitaan dari redaksi  SKM dinyatakan menjadi suatu tindak pidana yang diatur dalam KUHPidana, bagaimana putusan pengadilan terhadap tindak pidana yang dibuat dalam pemberitaan media masa yang berindikasi adanya pencemaran nama baik dan pertanggungjawabannya. Alat pengumpul data yang dipergunakan dalam penelitian yang di lakukan adalah melalui studi dokumen (library research). Sumber data yang dipergunakan adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh melalui kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian bahwa Penistaan dengan tulisan diatur dalam KUHP pada banyak pasal di antaranya terdapat dalam Bab XVI, Buku I KUHP khususnya pada Pasal 310, Pasal 311, Pasal 315, Pasal 317 dan Pasal 318 KUHP. Pasal Pidana terhadap perbuatan penghinaan terhadap seseorang, secara umum diatur dalam Pasal 310, Pasal 311 ayat (1), Pasal 315, Pasal 317 ayat (1) dan Pasal 318 ayat (1) KUHP. Pemberitaan tentang jalannya pemeriksaan perkara pidana di dalam sidang-sidang pengadilan harus dijiwai oleh prinsip praduga tak bersalah, yaitu bahwa seseorang tersangka baru dianggap bersalah telah melakukan sesuatu tindak pidana apabila ia telah dinyatakan terbukti bersalah dalam keputusan pengadilan yang telah memiliki kekuatan tetap.

Can Police Patrols Prevent Pollution? The Limits of Authoritarian Environmental Governance in China
Authors: van der Kamp Denise
Published: September 2020

China's high-profile anti-pollution campaigns have fueled theories of authoritarian environmental efficiency. In a regime where bureaucrats are sensitive to top-down scrutiny, central campaigns are expected to be powerful tool for reducing pollution. Focusing on China's nationwide pollution
inspections campaign, I assess these claims of authoritarian efficiency. I find that central inspections (or "police patrols") have no discernable impact on air pollution. I argue that inspections were ineffective because environmental enforcement requires a degree of sustained scrutiny that
one-off campaigns cannot provide. The deterrent effect of inspections is also undercut by the regime's ambivalence towards independent courts and unsupervised public participation. These findings suggest that China's obstacles to pollution enforcement may be greater than anticipated, and theories
of authoritarian efficiency overlook gaps in authoritarian state capacity.

The Dynamics of Intercultural Music Making in Granada: Everyday Multiculturalism and Moroccan Integration
Authors: Machin-Autenrieth Matthew
Published: September 2020

This article examines musical exchanges between Moroccans and Spaniards, which are often underpinned by the notion of a shared cultural heritage. Such exchanges promote intercultural dialogue and the social integration of Moroccans in Andalusia. Focusing on one individual, I explore the strategies musicians use to integrate socially and musically in Andalusian society. I examine the ways in which Moroccan musicians negotiate their day-to-day musical landscape and the tensions between overt displays of cultural difference, social integration, and musicians’ own artistic aspirations. In so doing, this article puts ethnomusicology into dialogue with scholarship on the policies and everyday realities of multiculturalism and interculturalism.

Este artículo examina los intercambios musicales entre marroquíes y españoles, que a menudo se apoyan en la noción de un patrimonio cultural compartido. Tales intercambios promueven el diálogo intercultural y la integración social de los marroquíes en Andalucía. Centrando mi estudio en un individuo, exploro las estratégicas utilizadas por los músicos para la integración social y musical en la sociedad andaluza. Examino la manera en que músicos marroquíes negocian su mundo musical cotidiano y las tensiones que existen entre los despliegues de diferencia cultural, la integración social y las propias aspiraciones musicales de los mismos. De este modo, el artículo pone en diálogo a la etnomusicología con las políticas y realidades cotidianas de la multiculturalidad y la interculturalidad.
Between Tribute and Transformation: Negotiating the Expressive and Ethical Dynamics of Experimental Afro-Brazilian Song
Authors: McNally James
Published: September 2020

This article discusses the experimental transformation of Afro-Brazilian musical heritage and its implications in the broader African diaspora. As a case study, I examine Juçara Marçal and Cadu Tenório’s 2015 album Anganga, which features reinterpretations of traditional Afro-Brazilian songs within an experimental instrumental texture. I argue that the album allows the artists to negotiate the boundaries of the traditional and experimental spheres in ways that afford distinct expressive possibilities but also raise potential ethical issues. Drawing from “Afrological” narratives of historical consciousness in musical experimentalism, the article proposes a framework for understanding this encounter that challenges Brazilian creative discourses regarding musical mixture.

Este artigo se trata da transformação experimental da herança musical afro-brasileira e suas implicações na diáspora africana. Como estudo de caso, o artigo examina o álbum Anganga, 2015, de Juçara Marçal e Cadu Tenório, que apresenta reinterpretações de cantos afro-brasileiras tradicionais com uma textura instrumental experimental. Este álbum permite que os músicos negociem os limites das esferas tradicionais e experimentais em maneiras que ofereçam possibilidades expressivas distintas, mas também levantam questões possíveis de ética. Incorporando narrativas “Afrológicas” da consciěncia histórica no experimentalismo musical, o artigo propõe uma estrutura para compreender este encontro que desafia discursos criativos brasileiros sobre a mistura musical.
Meeting the Garden Halfway: Ethnographic Encounters with a Sound Installation Microculture
Authors: Browning Joseph
Published: September 2020

This article follows the installation of a sound art project titled Pleasure Garden in a historic garden in Sydney, Australia. Discussing various activities, from laying cables to mixing the installation, I argue that an ethnographic perspective can deepen our sense of what is meant when sound art is described as a “practice.” The article discusses the distinctive microculture that emerged around the installation process and traces issues of creative agency, epistemology, and ontology at stake as diverse actors—the creative team, the technological infrastructure, the garden, and its inhabitants—were brought into relationship.
Reported Speech in Greek Tragedy
Authors: Clark James T.
Published: September 2020

This article examines reported direct speech embedded in narrative sections of Greek tragedy, analyzing the content of reported speeches, their metrical form, and the descriptions of their sound. Reported direct speech is revealed to be considerably restrained, even when it occurs in highly emotional contexts. This restraint is interesting, given the prevalence of non-linguistic cries in tragedy, and it is brought into particular relief by comparison with the descriptions of violent utterances that often precede or follow sections of direct speech. There is a discernible, though inconsistent, trend towards the loosening of this restraint in later Euripides.
House-Razing and the Relationship ofOikosandPolisin Euripides’sHeracles
Authors: Moore Jocelyn
Published: September 2020

This article shows that the demise of Heracles’s household in Euripides’s Heracles draws upon recognizable public values related to the individual household, oikos, at Classical Athens and reflects upon its vulnerabilities. Euripides defines Heracles’s identity in Thebes through his oikos. Threats directed against Heracles’s household implicate a polis which paradigmatically fails to protect one of its oikoi. Throughout the drama methods of depicting the exposure of the oikos to potential harm evoke its frequent appearance in Athenian public performances including speeches, oaths, and spectacles. Particularly important in Heracles is the destruction of the physical house which embodies the vulnerability of the whole household: recurring language of the contemporary punishment of house-razing, kataskaphē, reflects the fraught relationship of Thebes to Heracles and his household.
Plutarch and the “Malicious” Historian
Authors: Chrysanthou Chrysanthos S.
Published: September 2020

This article shows that Plutarch’s principles of historical criticism in On the Malice of Herodotus do not always obtain in the Lives, and that Plutarch’s narrative techniques in his biographies prove to be vulnerable to the criticisms that Plutarch makes of Herodotus in the essay. Yet rather than being a sign of malice and deviousness, as Plutarch argues for Herodotus in On the Malice, it is suggested that these techniques are used in the Lives in a sophisticated way to invite an active response from the readers toward the biographical narrative and engage them all the more profoundly in their individual process of moral reflection and evaluation of history. This insight, in turn, shows that there is more artistry in the composition and purpose of On the Malice than has been hitherto discerned or allowed. Overall, this article advances our understanding of Plutarch’s oeuvre as an integrated corpus in which Plutarch encourages through his use of inconsistencies a provocative readerly experience. It also has some far-reaching consequences for our interpretation of the literary persona that Plutarch evokes in the Lives and On the Malice and his conception of the ideal way of writing and reading history.
A Labor of Love: Statius Silvae 3.1 (Hercules Surrentinus Polli Felicis)
Authors: Putnam Michael C. J.
Published: September 2020

My essay is a close reading of the initial poem of the third book of Statius’s Silvae. Its primary topic is the dedication by Pollius Felix of his new temple to Hercules. As the narrative unfolds, we trace how the shrine came into being and the accompanying metamorphoses of the landscape and of the character of the god himself. Pollius and his wife, Polla, play major roles in the proceedings. Statius’s own virtuosity is on constant display not only in his skill as a wordsmith but in his suggestive bows to a series of genres and in his rich allusiveness, especially to Virgil.
Critical Folkloristics, Free Speech, and the “War on Terror”
Authors: McDonald David A.
Published: September 2020

In 2008, five affiliates of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) were convicted of conspiring to supply “material support” to the terrorist organization Hamas. One of the convicted was a folksinger, included in the indictment due to a series of music performances given at HLF fundraisers. In this article, I critically interrogate the history and development of the HLF trial, arguing for the development of an activist-oriented critical folkloristics as a powerful tool with which to respond to Islamophobic discourses at the heart of the American “War on Terror.”
(Folk)Life, Interrupted: Challenges for Fieldwork, Empathy, and Public Discourse in the Age of Trump
Authors: Buccitelli Anthony Bak
Published: September 2020

This article argues that the political and social developments of the current American moment represent a crisis for folkloristics and other humanistic fields that goes well beyond pragmatic concerns. It makes the case that, in response, we must conduct (or reinvigorate) sustained conversations about how we as scholars of folk cultures should engage with our subjects and with the public more broadly.
“Our Shmuck”: Russian Folklore about American Elections
Authors: Arkhipova Alexandra , Radchenko Daria , Kirzyuk Anna
Published: September 2020

Throughout the course of the 2016 US presidential election, hundreds of jokes dealing with the topic appeared on the English-speaking internet. While Russian folklore could have simply exploited translations of existing American texts, representing Trump as incompetant, a statistical and semantic analysis of the corpus of jokes that appeared on Russian social media during the 2 weeks following the election shows that a different type of joke, one juxtaposing the election systems in the United States and Russia, was much more popular. Yet 70 percent of the reposts of the jokes suggested an unrelated base meaning—the idea that Russia and the United States exist in a state of constant competition, trying to influence each other’s internal and international policies. For the audience that opposes the Russian president and the loyalist mass media, Trumplore becomes a way to laugh not at the American president-elect, but at Russia’s own administration.
The Policing of Patriotism: African American Athletes and the Expression of Dissent
Authors: Rounds Christopher D.
Published: September 2020

From the “Noble Experiment” of baseball player Jackie Robinson to the national anthem protests initiated by football player Colin Kaepernick, the manner in which African American athletes have responded to demands that they demonstrate their patriotism has been critiqued and regulated at every turn. This article seeks to chronicle that history, by exploring the experiences not only of Robinson and Kaepernick but all African Americans who, throughout the history of sport, have challenged preconceived notions and displays of patriotism. This includes boxer Muhammad Ali and sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos, among several lesser-known figures. What is remarkable is the connective tissue, the degree to which the activism of athletes from Robinson to Kaepernick, and the reactions to it, has not fundamentally altered in seven decades.
Ebony Jr! Race, Meritocracy, and Sports in African American Children’s Media
Authors: White Samantha
Published: September 2020

This paper examines the relationship between race and sport in African American children’s media in the publication Ebony Jr! (1973-85). Through sport, Ebony Jr! promoted an ideology of meritocracy and heralded the values of hard work and self-determination, the importance of the family unit, and investment in middle-class leisure practices. While these values were present in Ebony, content in the magazine for adults also addressed issues plaguing African American athletes, such as discrimination and the discourse of essentialized racism. Ebony Jr! primarily erased narratives of oppression within profiles of athletes and crafted childhood as a protected space by imagining sport as a meritocratic space for black-child readers. I argue for the importance of including childhood and youth studies perspectives within the field of sport history and examine children’s media as valuable texts for understanding the transmission of ideologies regarding race and sport.
Predicting Tending to Callous-Unemotional Traits Based on Empathy, Social Anxiety Disorder and Bullying in Students
Authors: Paliziyan Arezoo , Javadi Koma Arezoo , Mehrabizade Honarmand Mehrnaz
Published: September 2020

Background: Although callous-unemotional traits plays a crucial role in the development of adolescent trauma, little information is available about mediators and their predictors. Objectives: The current study aimed to predict male students’ CU traits based on empathy, bullying, and social anxiety behavior. Methods: Statistical population of this research was the high school male students in 14 districts of Tehran in the third and fourth high school year for 97.96 academic year. Participants were selected using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. The inventory of callous-unemotional traits (ICUT), Illinois bullying scale (IBS), empathy questionnaire, and social anxiety inventory were used to meet the study’s objectives. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results: According to the results, bullying (r = 0.24) has a positive, meaningful association with callous-unemotional traits, empathy (r = -0.33), and social anxiety (r = -0.17). Besides, it is negatively associated with CU traits. (P < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that empathy, bullying, and social anxiety predict the 0.25 variance of the callous-unemotional traits. Conclusions: Based on the results, lack of empathy, social anxiety, and bullying are significant risk factors for the emergence of CU traits.

Authors: Shahrivar Zahra , Sharifi Vandad , Zarafshan Hadi , Khademi Mojgan , Jafari Nia Morteza , Hajebi Ahmad , Abolhassani Shahreza Farid
Published: September 2020

Background: The strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) is one of the most common screening tools to detect children and adolescents who are at risk of mental health problems or have psychiatric disorders. The standard mode of SDQ completion is on paper; however, some studies used phone administration and argued that this is a feasible and valid method that can substitute in-person administration. However, few studies have investigated the validity and reliability of phone administration of the SDQ. Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the telephone versus paper-and-pencil administration of the SDQ among Iranian child and adolescent outpatients. Methods: Sixty six parents with children aged 3 to 15 years completed the SDQ questionnaire using paper-and-pencil and telephone interview techniques. The study was performed in 2016, and participants were from the city of Tehran (capital of Iran). Participants were first divided into two groups. Then, one of them first completed the questionnaire using the face-to-face interviews, and 3 to 4 days later, they again completed the questionnaire using the telephone interview. And the vice versa occurred for the other group. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlation between the two methods in each group separately. Intra-class correlation (ICC) analysis was used to investigate the association between the two administration methods. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between the two types of administration in both groups (P < 0.05). Intra-class correlation coefficients indicated a good correlation between the scores obtained from each method of administration (all P values were < 0.001). Conclusions: Telephone administration of SDQ is a reliable method for collecting data when studying emotional and behavioral symptoms in children and adolescents attending outpatient psychiatric centers.

Background: Agitation in mechanically ventilated patients with decreased consciousness is a challenge in the ICU and a threat to the process of mechanical ventilation. On the other hand, controlling agitation through medication and imposing physical limitations is associated with a number of undesirable side effects. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of auditory and tactile stimulation by a family member on the level of agitation in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and decreased consciousness. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 80 TBI patients with decreased consciousness who were admitted to the ICU of two teaching hospitals in southeastern Iran in 2019. Qualified patients were selected by convenience sampling and then randomized into the intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. Data collection tools included a demographic form and the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS). For patients in the intervention group, the researcher first completed the demographic form and the RASS. Then, they underwent the experiment, which consisted of auditory and sensory stimulation by a family member for 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the agitation level was measured again. This experiment was performed for seven consecutive days between 16:00 and 18:00 o’clock. Patients in the control group, however, did not receive any intervention other than routine care in the ICU. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 21 by using descriptive statistical tests and independent t-test, paired t-test, [analysis of] covariance, and chi-square test at the significance level of P < 0.05. Results: The results indicated no significant difference in the level of agitation in the intervention and control groups between the first and fifth days; however, independent t-tests and analysis of covariance revealed that the patients who received auditory and tactile stimulation on the sixth and seventh days experienced significantly lower levels of agitation than the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Auditory and tactile stimulation by family members is effective in decreasing the agitation of TBI patients with decreased consciousness. Therefore, it is suggested as a helpful intervention in nursing care programs.

In Taiwan’s multi-family residential, there are some problems in the previous research on the utility ratio among floors, including the failure to consider the difference in total number of floors, the excessive research scope and the residential price without deducting the parking space price. This research hopes to improve the problems of previous research, select 1,172 data of multi-family residential with total number of floors of 12, 15 and 22, and use the hedonic price model to establish the utility ratio among floors of residential buildings, and then compare the difference between absolute floors and relative floors on the transaction price. The empirical results found that in the comparative analysis of absolute floors and relative floors, the variable of relative floors is significant, showing that the residential price is significantly different with different total number of floors, and the total number of floors is higher that the residential price is higher; the importance of absolute floors on the residential price isn’t high. In the model of utility ratio among floors of different total number of floors, the utility curves are distributed in zigzag pattern. Taking floor 4 as the base floor, the floor price difference is higher on floor 1 and near the top floors, and the floor price difference of other floors is not significant.

The present study aims to reduce the use of cement and encourage the utilization of plant biomass.  The rice husk ash (loading: 2, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50%) was used as a cement substitute.  The effects of rice husk ash on the physical and mechanical properties of cement matrix composite was investigated. The results of this study show a drop in compressive strength of 19.75 to 5.10 between M0 and MR50 with a remarkable value of 17.02MPa at 10% (MR10). Likewise, we have a variation of the flexural strength from 2.96 to 0.47 between M0 and MR50 with a remarkable value of 1.87 at 10% (MR10). The material MR10 is light and can be used as a filling element.

Rainfall has a greater impact on agricultural, hydrological, economic, environmental and social systems. Inconsistencies in rainfall pattern could lead to extremities like drought and flood. Drought is a long period of unusually low rainfall that severely affects crop production and welfare of the people. Understanding the impacts of drought is crucial for planning, mitigation and responses.  The Standardized precipitation index (SPI) method was employed for identifying drought occurrence in Parambikulam aliyar basin based on rainfall data of 37 years (1981–2017). SPI method indicated PAP basin had drought once in 4 years. In 19 per cent times, wet situation found to exist in PAP basin, five years exhibited moderately wet condition (1984, 1996, 2010, 2015 and 2017) and two years (1992 and 2005) fell under extremely wet event. Quantification on the drought events forms the scientific basis for decision makers to reduce the societal vulnerability to drought.

Drought tends to be a creeping phenomenon occurs gradually with the deficiency in rainfall further extending its impact on sectors which are dependent on water. The drought characteristics were analysed in Parambikulam Aliyar Project (PAP) basin based on the European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis (ERA-Interim) gridded data with resolution of 0.125° ×0.125° during 1981-2017. Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) was applied for monitoring the drought. The variables used in RDI are rainfall and potential evapotranspiration (ETo), the required meteorological data were taken from the ERA Interim dataset and ETo was calculated using Penman-Monteith method. RDI indicated that 41% of the time had drought condition over 37 years. Two years (1982 and 2012) faced severe drought across all the parts of the PAP basin and the highest number of mild drought events were observed than the other drought conditions in PAP basin. Results showed that Plain areas in PAP basin experienced maximum number of drought events compared to the other areas in PAP basin during the investigation period.
Review on Febrile Seizures in Children
Authors: Thadchanamoorthy V. , Dayasiri Kavinda
Published: September 2020

Background: Febrile seizures are a common, yet benign neurological disorder and characterized by convulsions associated with fever in childhood due to the effect of fever on the immature brain. All treating clinicians must understand the nature and evaluation of this benign condition.

Objective: To provide up-to-date knowledge on febrile seizures and their evaluation.

Methods: A search was conducted with key terms “febrile seizures” or “febrile convulsion” in various databases and writings. The literature included clinical trials, descriptive and observational studies, meta-analyses, and randomized control trials. 

Results: Febrile seizures occur between the ages of 6 months to 5 years in all ethnic groups. The exact mechanism has been still unknown although several etiologies have been proposed including genetic and environmental factors. Febrile seizures can be either simple or complex. Febrile seizures generally occur within the first day of fever but rarely happen after 24 hours. Most of the time, febrile convulsions are short-lasting and self-limiting. The diagnosis is mainly based on the clinical description, and investigations have a limited role. Children less than one year of age with suspicion of bacterial infection need lumbar puncture to exclude meningitis. Management mostly depends on control of fever and the treatment of underlying conditions which precipitate fever. Some children can have prolonged convulsions which need anticonvulsants to abort an acute attack. Otherwise, long term prophylactic anticonvulsants have an insignificant role in the prevention of recurrences of febrile seizures. Physical methods also play an insignificant role. As the condition commonly carries a favorable prognosis, unnecessary interventions should be avoided. Since febrile seizures recur in a significant proportion of children, they may bring needless fears and anxieties in parents. However, proper health education for parents by health care personnel might alleviate the anxiety and improve the quality of life of children with febrile seizures.

Conclusion: Febrile convulsions are benign and self-limiting. Continuous use of anticonvulsants to prevent the recurrence of febrile seizures is not endorsed. Intermittent prophylaxis at the time of fever is also not routinely recommended. Both physical methods and antipyretics have limited value in the prevention of febrile seizures.
