Published: July 2020

Penelitian tentang prediksi nilai debit puncak aliran telah dilakukan di Sungai Pasangkayu Kecamatan Pasangkayu Kabupaten Pasangkayu. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memprediksi nilai debit puncak yang terjadi di aliran sungai Pasangkayu. Data debit aliran sungai yang diperoleh dari hasil pengukuran diolah dengan menggunakan Metode Muskingum yaitu suatu cara perhitungan yang digunakan dalam penelusuran banjir dengan pendekatan hukum kontinuitas, data kecepatan aliran, kedalaman, jarak tiap pias diolah dengan menggunakan program Microsoft Excel. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa debit maksimum aliran masuk sungai Pasangkayu terjadi pada tanggal 17 Maret 2018 pukul 12:00:00 WITA dengan besar debit 18,17 m3 /dt sedangkan debit maksimum aliran keluar terjadi pada hari yang sama pada pukul 10:00:00 WITA dengan besar debit 19,09 m3 /dt. Hal ini disebabkan terjadinya hujan di bagian hulu sungai tepatnya di desa Lalundu yang memiliki aliran ke sungai Pasangkayu. Berdasarkan grafik Muskingum tanggal 18 Maret 2018 menunjukkan bahwa debit puncak bagian hulu (aliran masuk) lebih besar dari pada debit puncak bagian hilir (aliran keluar), perbedaan waktu terjadinya debit puncak antara bagian hulu dan hilir memiliki selisih waktu 1 jam, sedangkan pada tanggal 17 Maret dan 19 Maret 2018 nampak debit puncak aliran masuk lebih kecil dari pada aliran keluar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa aliran masuk yang lebih besar dari pada aliran keluar yang menyebabkan terjadinya limpasan di permukaan sungai Pasangkayu sehingga terjadi banjir.

Model Numerik Sebaran Sedimen Tersuspensi di Muara Sungai Pulege Kabupaten Donggala
Authors: Maryam  , Mudin Yutdam , Abd. Rahman
Published: July 2020

Sungai Pulege memiliki peran penting sebagai penyalur material tersuspensi dari daerah hulu menuju laut. Proses sebaran sedimen di perairan laut dipengaruhi oleh faktor fisika oseonografi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memodelkan pola sedimen tersuspensi untuk menentukan sebaran konsentrasinya di muara Sungai Pulege. Dalam penelitian meliputi data primer berupa kosentrasi sedimen tersuspensi, dan debit sungai sedangkan data sekunder berupa peta batimetri, RBI, data pasut, arus dan angin. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif, analisis sampel sedimen tersuspensi menggunakan metode Gravimetri di laboratorium FMIPA UNTAD dan pembuatan model sebaran konsentrasi sedimen tersuspensi menggunakan pendekatan matematik SED2D dalam Software Surface Water Modelling System (SMS). Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan modul SED2D menunjukkan bahwa nilai konsentrasi maksimum sedimen tersuspensi yang berada di sekitaran sungai khusususnya di stasiun I sebesar 0.40 gram/liter, dan menyebar kearah sekitaran Perairan Pantai Tanamea khususnya pada stasiun II sebesar 0.03 gram/liter. Nilai debit Sungai Pulege pada saat pengukuran sebesar 14.37 /det. Arus dominan disekitaran Perairan Pantai Tanamea adalah arus pasut, dan kecepatan arus maksimum 0.27 /det. Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa nilai konsentrasi sedimen tersuspensi terbesar berada didaerah sungai dan mengecil ketika menuju laut. Hal ini mengakibatkan di daerah muara sungai tidak terjadi pendangkalan dan tidak dapat mengganggu ekosistem, biota laut sekitaran Pantai Tanamea. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebaran sedimen tarsuspensi  di wilayah yang dikaji sangat dipengaruhi oleh arus pasang surut, dan pada Stasiun II arah sebaran sedimen tersuspensi dominan ke barat laut.

Production of bioplastic material from algal biomass
Authors: Simonic Marjana , Zemljic Fras
Published: July 2020

Bioplastic composite material was developed from polylactic acid used as basic polymer and microalgae. Two types of biomaterials were prepared based on the proportion of microalgae and polylactic acid. The mass ratios were set to 5:95 and 10:90. First, spirulina was chosen as initial material and then a mixed culture of microalgae community from the biogas digestate treatment. The aim of the research was to study the characteristics of materials in order to determine whether the algal biomass community could be used in the production of bioplastics. It was found out that microalgae do not significantly impact the properties of the polylactic acid material. The degree of material crystallinity increased, the melting temperature reduced, and the modules of losses increased.
Auditors' Use of Formal Advice from Internal Firm Subject Matter Experts: The Impact of Advice Quality and Advice Awareness on Auditors' Judgments
Authors: Wright Nicole S. , Bhattacharjee Sudip
Published: July 2020

When subject matter experts are consulted during an audit, the quality of the expert's advice depends upon their ability to fully understand and incorporate client-specific facts into their advice. PCAOB inspection reports suggest that auditors are neglecting to perform the required work to assess the quality of experts' recommendations. This article summarizes a recent study by Wright and Bhattacharjee (2018) examining how receiving expert advice of different levels of quality and the timing of communication making auditors aware of the eventual use an expert, impact auditors' judgments. Auditors who were aware that an expert was going to be used put forth more effort before receiving the expert's advice, and were less in agreement with management's position, than auditors who were unaware. Upon receiving the advice, aware auditors were more discerning and accurate than unaware auditors, providing that the timing and communication of consulting decisions affect auditors' assessments of expert advice.
Fostering Intrinsic Motivational Orientation: A Cost-Effective Method for Encouraging Audit Staff to Speak Up
Authors: Mocadlo Robert P. , Rich Jay S. , Trimble Madeline , Zhou Yuepin (Daniel)
Published: July 2020

This article summarizes and outlines practical implications from the findings of “It Goes Without Saying: The Effects of Intrinsic Motivational Orientation, Leadership Emphasis of Intrinsic Goals, and Audit Issue Ambiguity on Speaking Up” (Kadous, Proell, Rich, and Zhou 2019). Through a series of experiments and surveys, the initial paper tests the effect that leadership focus on intrinsic motivation of auditors can have on their willingness to “speak up” with audit issues. Furthermore, they introduce the effects that ambiguity and source of motivation have on their initial findings. We expand this original work by summarizing the empirical findings and elaborating on the practical implications for auditors, managers, academics, and regulators. Applying these findings in practice could be a cost effective and efficient way to operationalize PCAOB AS 1201 and improve audit quality.

Authors: Roger Célia , Buch Chloé , Muller Tania , Leemput Julia , Demizieux Laurent , Passilly-Degrace Patricia , Cinar Resat , Iyer Malliga R. , Kunos George , Vergès Bruno , Degrace Pascal , Jourdan Tony
Published: July 2020

Diabetic dyslipidemia, characterized by increased plasma triglycerides and decreased HDL cholesterol levels, is a major factor contributing to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes. Activation of the cannabinoid-1 receptor (CB1R) and activation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis progression. Here, we tested whether dual-targeting inhibition of hepatic CB1R and iNOS improves diabetic dyslipidemia in mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO mice). DIO mice were treated for 14 days with (S)-MRI-1867, a peripherally restricted hybrid inhibitor of CB1R and iNOS. (R)-MRI-1867, the CB1R-inactive stereoisomer that retains iNOS inhibitory activity, and JD-5037, a peripherally restricted CB1R antagonist, were used to assess the relative contribution of the two targets to the effects of (S)-MRI-1867. (S)-MRI-1867 reduced hepatic steatosis and the rate of hepatic VLDL secretion, upregulated hepatic LDLR expression, and reduced the circulating levels of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). The decrease in VLDL secretion could be attributed to CB1R blockade, while the reduction of PCSK9 levels and the related increase in LDLR resulted from iNOS inhibition via an mTOR complex 1–dependent mechanism. In conclusion, this approach based on the concomitant inhibition of CB1R and iNOS represents a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of dyslipidemia.
Association of type 2 diabetes with cancer: A meta-analysis with bias analysis for unmeasured confounding in 151 cohorts comprising 32 million people
Authors: Ling Suping , Brown Karen , Miksza Joanne K , Howells Lynne , Morrison Amy , Issa Eyad , Yates Thomas , Khunti Kamlesh , Davies Melanie J , Zaccardi Francesco
Published: July 2020

Background: Whether the association
between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer is causal remains controversial.

Purpose: To assess how
robust are the observational associations between (T2D) and cancer to
unmeasured confounding.

Data sources: PubMed, Web of Science, and the
Cochrane library were systematically searched on January 10th, 2019.

Study selection: Observational
studies investigating associations between T2D and cancer incidence or
mortality.

Data extraction: Cohort-level relative
risk (RR).

Data Synthesis: RRs were
combined in random-effects meta-analyses and pooled estimates used in bias
analyses. A total of 151 cohorts (over 32 million people, 1.1 million cancer cases
and 150,000 cancer deaths) were included. In meta-analyses, T2D was associated
with incidence of several cancers, from prostate (RR 0.83; 95% CI: 0.79, 0.88)
to liver (2.23; 1.99, 2.49); and mortality of pancreatic cancer (1.67; 1.30,
2.14). In bias analyses, assuming an unmeasured confounding associated with
both T2D and cancer with a RR of 1.5, the proportion of studies with a true
effect size larger than a RR of 1.1 (i.e., 10% increased risk in individuals
with T2D) was nearly 100% for liver, pancreatic, and endometrial; 86% for
gallbladder; 67% for kidney; 64% for colon; 62% for colorectal; and less than
50% for other cancer incidence, and 92% for pancreatic cancer mortality.

Limitations: Biases other than unmeasured confounding were not analytically assessed.

Conclusions: Our findings
strongly suggest a causal association between T2D and liver, pancreatic, and endometrial
cancer incidence, and pancreatic cancer mortality; conversely, associations
with other cancers were less robust to unmeasured confounding.

Mourning Balliceaux: Towards a biography of a Caribbean island of death, grief and memory
Authors: Finneran Niall , Welch Christina
Published: July 2020

This contribution considers how a small Caribbean island (Balliceaux, St Vincent and the Grenadines) holds up a mirror to the wider experiences of the Garifuna (‘Black Carib’) peoples who live on the neighbouring island of St Vincent, and in diasporic communities through the Americas. In the late-18th Century Balliceaux was the scene of a genocide orchestrated by the British colonial authorities on the Garifuna, and as a consequence it has become an important place of memory for them, yet it also provokes other emotional responses. We start by taking a broadly phenomenological approach to the analysis of islandscape, emphasising its qualities as an embodied as well as physical entity, and then build upon the notion of embodiment using perspectives drawn from psychological studies of grief and grieving through the lens of grief and death studies. We argue that it is only through deploying such a phenomenological perspective to the study of this Caribbean island that we can discern the metaphors employed by the Garifuna in making sense of this island of death, grief and memory. By drawing on their own understandings of Balliceaux as a base for our theorisations, we offer an original theoretical and decolonised approach to thinking about the character, or sense of place, of a small, yet emotionally significant, Caribbean island.

The organization also spreads to the world of Supreme Court justices, the election caused a decadence to the institutional status of the House of Representatives as a people's representative in the government whose implementation was not in line with the decision of the Constitutional Court. Based on the decision of the Constitutional Court No.27/PUU-XI/2013 explains that the House of Representatives no longer has the authority to conduct due diligence and suitability (elect) to prospective Supreme Judges proposed by the Judicial Commission. The House of Representatives can only approve or disapprove candidates for Supreme Court Justices that have been submitted by the Judicial Commission. In addition, the proportion of proposed Supreme Court Justices from the judicial commission to the House of Representatives (DPR) has changed, whereas previously the Judicial Commission had to propose 3 (three) of each vacancy for the Justices, now it is only one of each vacant for Supreme Court Judges. by the Supreme Court. The House of Representatives no longer has the authority to conduct due diligence and suitability (elect) to prospective Supreme Judges proposed by the Judicial Commission.

Pentingnya independensi yang dimiliki lembaga Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) yaitu untuk mempercepat kinerja lembaga KPK itu sendiri. Namun, disahkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2019 tentang Perubahan Kedua Atas Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2002 tentang Komisi Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi (revisi UU KPK) mengakibatkan pelemahan terhadap lembaga KPK. Pada penelitian doktrinal ini, metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif yaitu metode penelitian hukum yang mendasarkan pada pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual dengan menggunakan analisis deskriftif analitis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan telah hilangnya independensi KPK dengan diubahnya isi dari Pasal 3 UU KPK. Pelemahan lembaga KPK terlihat dengan dibentuknya dewan pengawas, kemudian pegawai KPK harus berasal dari Aparatur Sipil Negara sehingga mengakibatkan terikatnya dengan komando pusat yang membatasi ruang gerak lembaga KPK.
Vertebral body infection due to esophageal perforation caused by ingestion of fishbone: a case report
Authors: Zhang Ling-Yun , Liang Hong , Sun Xue-Guo
Published: July 2020

Background

Esophageal injury is a common complication of foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract, but bilateral pleural effusion or vertebral infection is a rare condition due to a swallowed fishbone. It is considerably difficult for a physician to diagnose quickly because of incomplete patient history of foreign bodies ingestion and/or insufficient experiences.

Patient concerns

We describe the case of a 56-year-old man who was admitted to an emergency medical department owing to a low to moderate fever for 7 days. After a series of examinations, the patient was diagnosed with esophageal perforation (EP) caused by a fishbone that was swallowed half a month ago.

Diagnoses

About 12 days after the onset of fever, he was diagnosed with EP based on the gastric endoscopic images combined with histological section and sufficient history of the disease. About 2 months later, the patient has obvious back pain and lack of strength in two legs and was diagnosed with vertebral body infection.

Interventions

Antibiotic therapy, multi-disciplinary team (MDT), and surgical intervention had been exerted.

Outcomes

It is very fortunate for this patient to have a good prognosis due to a timely diagnosis and proper management. Muscle power has attained level 5.

Lessons

Several lessons can be learned from this case; for example, physicians should be alerted to the EP, endoscopic intervention should be prompt, antibiotics should be used regularly, and so on.

Authors: Nurtanti Susana , Handayani Sri , Ratnasari Nita Yunianti , Husna Putri Halimu , Susanto Tantut
Published: July 2020

Objective

This study explored the characteristics, causality, and suicidal behavior among family members with suicide history in Wonogiri, Central Java, Indonesia.

Methods

Qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 family members who had made suicide attempts. The interviews directly explored the relationships among characteristics, causality, and suicidal behavior. The research data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach.

Results

The results indicate that there are relationships among characteristics, causality, and suicidal behaviors. The characteristics contributing to suicide attempts were male gender, age (adolescence and old age), lack of religious activities, introvert nature, low economic status, chronic diseases, unemployment, and a history of family members with suicide attempts. The causality of suicide was joblessness, economic crisis, unemployment, family conditions, personality disorder, depression, sickness, and suicide ideation.

Conclusions

The findings highlight the relationships among characteristics, causality, and suicidal behaviors. Suicide occurs when individuals have some problems that they cannot solve because of the lack of family support. The causal factors were related to one another, which caused the suicidal behavior. One of the most effective suicide prevention strategies is educating the community on how to identify suicidal signs and increase social supports.

Authors: Wei Wei , Luo Ren-Zhong , Huang Zhen-Yun , Mi Rui
Published: July 2020

Objective

To investigate the efficacy and patient satisfaction of the EarWell Infant Ear Correction System combined with modular parents’ nursing education's curative effect on deformed auricle.

Methods

A total of 42 patients (29 boys and 13 girls; 73 ears; age ≤3 months) with auricle deformities who had received EarWell Infant Ear Correction System's treatment and modular parents’ nursing education in Guangzhou Children and Women's Medical Center between April and October 2018. The modular parents’ education program is standardized by EarWell system. Physician and patients’ parents compared the severity of auricle deformity separately before and after the treatment by using the auricle deformities visual analogue scales (VAS) rating system. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by using global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS). The data collected of auricle deformities VAS and GAIS satisfaction score were applied to measure the treatment's effectiveness.

Results

All the 42 patients (73 external ears) completed the treatment with EarWell Infant Ear Correction System and modular parents’ nursing education. The mean age at initiation of treatment was 37.87 ± 19.44 days and the therapeutic time span was 47.21 ± 17.36 days. At the end of treatment, the physician's and patients’ guardians rating of the severity of auricle deformity were significantly improved separately compared to the initial rating (8.33 ± 1.27 vs. 6.51 ± 0.84; P < 0.005) (5.77 ± 1.59 vs. 8.19 ± 2.38 P < 0.05). During the treatment and parents’ home nursing care period, the side effect and complications were minor like skin eczema and irrigation; there were no severe complications such as necrosis of the skin and cartilage. The patient tolerance for the treatment was acceptable with the adequate parents’ nursing care. Most patients’ guardians were satisfied with the treatment outcomes of EarWell Infant Ear Correction System with more engagement of nursing care, the GAIS's rating were increased from pretreatment stage's 26.19% to treatment completed stage's 90.48%, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

In this study, we proved that EarWell Infant Ear Correction System with its unique parents’ modular nursing care education, as a noninvasive treatment, reasonably improved auricle morphological malformation, and patients’ guardians satisfaction with few complications, which is worthy of a wildly clinical promotion.

This research is attempted to analyze the practices of mobile court and compare it with others. Based on the results of the study, the conclusions that can be obtained are that the implementation of the circuit court conducted at the Tasikmalaya District Religious Court has fulfilled several principles of civil procedural law, namely fast, simple and low cost. Among them when people who experience obstacles to come to the court office for reasons of distance, transportation and costs of the court come directly to the location, the bureaucracy is not complicated meaning that the implementation of the trial must be completed no later than 4 times the hearing, and the existence of an effective control system and various elements. Obstacles in the conduct of circuit courts include no standard guidelines for the holding of circuit courts, not all cases registered by residents are resolved in circuit courts, limited budgets, cases that have not been heard are all without prodeo, facilities and infrastructure, and not all religious courts hold circuit courts.
Death Penalty for Corruptors: Between the Human Rights and Challenges of Progress in Indonesian Law
Authors: Manik Toba Sastrawan , Sunarso Sunarso
Published: July 2020

The study concerned here examined students' perceptions of death penalty existence for corruptors. Corruption is a significant problem that captures the attention of the wider public. Corruption has a vast, systematic, and complex impact so that it could be classified as an extraordinary crime. Despite that classification, it turns out that the public considers corruptors’ punishment in Indonesia still too light and has not met the public’s expectations regarding justice. The people still feel the disparity in a penalty for corruption. The public believes capital punishment to a punishment option that could cause a deterrent effect. The majority of the public wants corruptors to be sentenced to death, but there is opposition to the death penalty on the grounds of upholding human rights. This study was conducted by students of the Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan (PPKn) or Department of Pancasila and Citizenship, Faculty of Social Sciences, Universitas Negeri Medan. It is found in the study that students agree on the death penalty for corruptors, that they do not see human rights as an excuse for rejecting the death penalty. Moreover, the death penalty is to be viewed as a breakthrough in combating corruption in Indonesia.

A quienes se interesan en los orígenes de la identidad cultural de los pueblos indígenas de Colombia se les aconseja proseguir con cautela ante la lectura de este capítulo, pues Jorge Augusto Gamboa Mendoza presenta de una forma provocadora y escandalosa sus hallazgos sobre el tema. Como es costumbre en el etnógrafo e historiador de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC), su predisposición por la desmitificación y deconstrucción de la historia oficial se advierte de inmediato como impronta de la exposición de sus resultados. Por tanto, quienes se adentren a revisar la transcripción de la conferencia pronunciada el 3 de octubre de 2014, en la UPTC., experimentarán asombro, interés y hasta un poco de desconcierto.

En el presente artículo se analiza el papel que jugaron las cartillas técnicas y la revista Rin Rin en el proceso de modernización de Colombia, bajo el gobierno del liberal Alfonso López Pumarejo. Para el liberalismo, la educación estuvo en la orbita de su proyecto nacional, por lo que las escuelas fueron observadas como los espacios propicios para formar al colombiano modelo. Por lo cual, abordamos el proyecto liberal de las bibliotecas aldeanas y la socialización que estas realizaron del material bibliográfico, lo que les permitió configurar un discurso sobre la higiene y el progreso. Llegamos a la conclusión que existió una preocupación por parte del Estado, en manos de los liberales, por trasformar, a través de la educación, las prácticas y costumbres de la población colombiana y consolidar así el proceso de modernización del país.

Kabupaten Kediri sebagai salah satu Lumbung Pangan di Jawa Timur mengalami penurunan luas lahan pertanian akibat alih fungsi lahan pada periode 2005-2016. Alih fungsi lahan pertanian merupakan suatu ancaman yang serius terhadap keberlanjutan dan swasembada pangan, terutama untuk komoditas pangan utama yaitu padi, jagung dan kedelai. Alih fungsi lahan pertanian dapat menyebabkan ketersediaan lahan pertanian pangan berkelanjutan berkurang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : menganalisis faktor-faktor potensial yang mempengaruhi alih fungsi lahan pertanian, serta menganalisis sejauh mana pengaruh alih fungsi lahan terhadap komoditas utama pangan (padi, jagung, kedelai). Penelitian menggunakan data sekunder dari beberapa instansi terkait, sedangkan penentuan lokasi ditetapkan secara purposive. Data yang dikumpulkan kemudian diolah dan dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap alih fungsi lahan pertanian adalah jumlah penduduk, jumlah industri dan PDRB Non Pertanian sedangkan Â produktivitas (padi, jagung, kedelai) dan NTP tidak berpengaruh signifikan.Kata Kunci : Alih fungsi lahan pertanian, produksi pangan utama
Treatment of single-segment lumbar tuberculosis with minimally invasive posterior internal fixation combined with anterior small incision debridement
Authors: Fu Bing , Tian Yonghao , Liu Xinyu
Published: July 2020

To review the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive pedicle fixation combined with anterior small incision focus debridement for single-segment lumbar spine tuberculosis, a total of 31 patients with single-segment marginal lumbar tuberculosis were enrolled in the study. All the patients received quadruple anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy for 2 weeks before surgery and treatment with minimally invasive posterior internal fixation, anterior small incision focus debridement, and bone graft fusion. Those patients with preoperative kyphosis deformity were initially treated with appropriate posterior distraction correction. Except for 1 patient who healed 2 weeks after medical dressing change, the remaining 30 patients healed as expected. All the patients had no screwrelated surgical complications, neurological dysfunction, vascular injury, and other complications. The average visual analog scale scores at 3 months postoperatively were significantly decreased to 1.4 ± 1.5 ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, under the premise of treatment using appropriate, effective anti-tuberculosis agents, this surgical procedure for managing patients with lumbar vertebral tuberculosis achieved satisfactory results, effectively reducing the exposure range and fusion segments in simple anterior focus debridement and internal fixation. Using minimally invasive posterior pedicle screw fixation can effectively increase spine stability, reduce fusion segment, and decrease anterior surgical trauma and complications.
Instrumentation-related complications of lumbar degenerative disc diseases treated by minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
Authors: Yang Xinyu , Liu Xinyu
Published: July 2020

Objective:

To analyze the instrumentation-related complications of patients with lumbar degenerative disc diseases (LDD) who underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS- TLIF) and to discuss the potential strategy for the control of these complications.

Methods:

A total of 87 patients with LDD were treated with the MIS-TLIF procedure. Complications, including malposition or breakage of guide pin, percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) or cages, neurological deficit, and superior-level facet joint violations, were determined during and after the surgery. Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate the PPS accuracy and the superior-level facet joint violations.

Results:

A total of 386 PPSs were used. During the surgery, 3 (0.8%) guide pin and 1 (0.3%) PPS perforated the anterior wall of the vertebral body, respectively. One (0.3%) PPS was pulled out during the reduction of slip. Malposition of the cages occurred in 6 (1.6%) PPSs. These were all adjusted accordingly during the surgery. All the patients received > 2 years of follow-up. No loosening or breakage of PPS and cage was observed, but CT showed 27 (7.0%) PPSs misplaced. No neurological deficit related to misplaced PPS was observed. The total facet joint violation (FJV) rate was 36.2%, with grade 2 and grade 3 violations is 21 (12.1%) and 6 (3.4%), respectively.

Conclusion:

MIS-TLIF has similar instrumentation-related complications with open TLIF. Accurate preoperative evaluation and improved surgical techniques can effectively reduce these instrumentation-related complications.
Involvement of the hippocampus in chronic pain and depression
Authors: Mokhtari Tahmineh , Tu Yiheng , Hu Li
Published: July 2020

Increases in depressive behaviors have been reported in patients experiencing chronic pain. In these patients, the symptoms of pain and depression commonly coexist, impairing their lives and challenging effective treatment. The hippocampus may play a role in both chronic pain and depression. A reduction in the volume of the hippocampus is related to reduced neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in cases of chronic pain and depression. Moreover, an increase of proinflammatory factors and a reduction of neurotrophic factors have been reported to modulate the hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in chronic pain and depression. This review discusses the mechanisms underlying the depressive-like behavior accompanying chronic pain, emphasizing the structural and functional changes in the hippocampus. We also discuss the hypothesis that pro-inflammatory factors and neurotrophic factors expressed in the hippocampus may serve as a therapeutic target for comorbid chronic pain and depression.

This study examined the effect of incivility and role conflict on emotional exhaustion of teaching staff. Incivility was determined in terms of discouretous and neglecting behavior of family memebrs at home while immediate supervisors at workplace. Role-conflict refers to the interferences of family members during office hours. The study further examined the moderating role of gender in each proposed effect. For empirical analysis, primary data were collected from regular teachers of public sector universities of AJ&K through mailed questionnaires. To examine the proposed direct effects, Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied in AMOS 24. Feasible measurement model was identified and selected with the help of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The study further applied PROCESS macro of Hayes (2013) in SPSS 24 to examine the moderating role of gender. The results show a positive effect of family incivility, family-workplace conflict, and supervisors’ incivility on emotional exhaustion of respondents. Interestingly, the moderating role of gender was not observed for all three cases. On the basis of these findings, different policy implications were presented and discussed.

The four amendments to the 1945 Constitution are imperatives of an imperfect human work. For Indonesia, the 1945 Constitution is the highest law (basic law) of all existing state norms and institutions. However, after careful scrutiny, it turns out that there are a number of provisions that weaken the constitutionality of the 1945 Constitution. The purpose of this article is to analyze the constitutionality of the 1945 Constitution after the fourth amendment. The method used is descriptive method and the method of constitutional comparison, with a qualitative juridical analysis approach to state administration. The conclusion of this article is that there are provisions that weaken the 1945 Constitution such as the 42 state affairs, government and state administration that submit further arrangements to the law. In addition, and especially if it is associated with the authority to change and develop itself, it becomes very dependent on the DPR. For this reason it is important to do constitutionality by making changes to the fifth and so on, beginning with compiling a grand design change that emphasizes legal and constitutional aspects rather than political aspects.
The Culture of Sasi In Babar Islands: Traditional and Church Wisdom
Authors: Ratumanan Tanwey G. , Marantika J. E. R.
Published: July 2020

Sasi is a culture that is still practiced and preserved in Maluku province in general and in Babar islands in particular until today. Sasi is a form of prevention of taking natural resources both land and sea within a certain period to let them grow and develop. The Babar islands are known for two types of Sasi, the traditional and the church. Currently, the implementation of Sasi is more dominated by the church – the traditional Sasi is rarely implemented. Sasi provides some benefits both to the environment and community. These benefits include preserved natural resources before harvest, economy increase, public appreciation encouragement, build-up social interaction, and prevention of theft. The long-term application of Sasi consistently will develop positive values of each member in the community, such as (1) appreciation to the environment, (2) devoted to custom rules, and (3) intimacy and mutual share.
Cambios en la red hidrográfica en un sector del periurbano noroeste y oeste de Bahía Blanca debido a la influencia urbana

La cuenca baja del arroyo Saladillo de García, sobre la que se desarrolla el periurbano noroeste y oeste de la ciudad de Bahía Blanca, ha experimentado en los últimos años una notoria intervención producto del avance de la urbanización y las actividades vinculadas a ello. El complejo y acelerado proceso de reconversión en los usos del suelo desencadena diversos efectos sobre la dinámica hidrográfica y geomorfológica del sector otorgándole una nueva impronta. La expansión urbana e industrial produjo principalmente modificaciones en la configuración de la red de drenaje en áreas propensas a anegamientos e inundaciones debido principalmente a los bajos valores de las pendientes del terreno. Por ello, el objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los cambios en el trazado de la red hidrográfica inducidos por la acción del hombre. En estas áreas afectadas naturalmente por anegamientos e inundaciones se observó una configuración hidrogeomorfológica fuertemente influenciada por la diversidad en los usos del suelo reconociéndose distintas intervenciones antrópicas tales como la rectificación y canalización de los cursos fluviales y tramos rectilíneos adaptados al trazado urbano. En mucho de los casos contribuyen al aumento de áreas inundables.
