O Conselho Penitenciário paulista e os direitos humanos: potencial e limites nos controles democráticos
Authors: Ferreira Otávio Dias de Souza
Published: April 2023

O Conselho Penitenciário de São Paulo (CP/SP) é um colegiado pertencente à estrutura da Secretaria de Administração Penitenciária estadual. O CP/SP foi fundado do início do século XX, mas passou por uma reformulação no início da redemocratização do país. Tem uma composição plural que permite certas aberturas democráticas no aparato do Estado. Conta com um perfil técnico de conselheiros e uma estrutura consolidada com um grau razoável de institucionalização. O trabalho investiga o funcionamento do órgão no pós-redemocratização em relação aos controles democráticos e aos direitos humanos de pessoas presas. Identificaram-se limitações quanto ao desenho institucional e à falta de autonomia do órgão em relação à instituição sobre a qual os controles deveriam ser exercidos. Constata-se a priorização de certas atribuições em detrimento da competência de controles democráticos e da prerrogativa de realização de inspeções e visitas às unidades prisionais. A maior virtude do órgão para a rede de accountability é a de constituir um espaço com potencial de trocas mútuas de informação entre os seus membros.

Authors: Proença Júnior Domício , Muniz Jacqueline
Published: April 2023

As operações especiais policiais situam-se em eventos de alta visibilidade e de potencial clamor social. Apresentam-se como o lugar privilegiado para se observar a aderência das práticas policiais aos direitos humanos, ao império da lei e aos valores democráticos que informam a paz social. Este artigo busca dar subsídios ao debate sobre a importância das operações especiais policiais à segurança pública e oferecer um avanço de síntese e de análise desta modalidade de policiamento, beneficiando-se do debate público nacional e da literatura especializada internacional. Isso corresponde à apreensão dos limites, alcances e alternativas das agências policiais na condução de operações especiais policiais. Discutem-se os problemas para uma caracterização precisa e produtiva de operações especiais policiais e, em seguida, contextualizam-se tais operações dentro da teoria de polícia. A partir da apresentação conceitual de polícia, situa-se o caso particular de operações especiais pela gramática de seus meios e pela lógica de seus fins. Estes dois elementos combinados possibilitam estabelecer limites para a condução desse tipo de policiamento.
Trends in changes in a number of geochemical parameters of the composition of fine-grained clastic rocks of the Lower Riphean sedimentary sequences of the northeastern and central parts of the Bashkirian meganticlinorium (Southern Urals)
Authors: Maslov Andrei Victorovich
Published: April 2023

Типовые разрезы бурзянской серии нижнего рифея (айская, саткинская и бакальская свиты) расположены на северо-востоке Башкирского мегантиклинория. В его центральных и южных районах с перечисленными свитами традиционно сопоставляются большеинзерская, суранская и юшинская свиты. Задачей исследований, результаты которых обсуждаются в данной работе, был анализ некоторых трендов изменения индикаторных отношений редких и рассеянных элементов в глинистых породах всех шести свит с целью получения аргументов в пользу тех или иных вариантов корреляции дозигальгинских/домашакских отложений. Установлено, что тенденции изменения средних геохимических характеристик глинистых пород бурзянской серии северо-восточных и центральных+южных районов мегантиклинория, отражающих состав материнских для них пород, достаточно различны. Это не дает 100-процентной уверенности в том, что посвитная корреляция отложений бурзянской серии в разных районах мегантиклинория некорректна, но заставляет еще раз задуматься над данной проблемой.

The type sections of the Lower Riphean Burzyan Group (Ai, Satka, and Bakal formations) are located in the northeast part of the Bashkirian meganticlinorium. In its central and southern regions, the above formations are traditionally compared with the Bolshoi Inzer, Suran, and Yusha formations. The aim of the studies, the results of which are discussed in this paper, was to analyze some trends in the change in the indicator ratios of trace elements in clay rocks of all six formations in order to obtain arguments in favor of certain variants of their correlation. It has been established that the trends in the average geochemical characteristics of clay rocks of the Burzyan Group in the northeastern and central+southern regions of the meganticlinorium, reflecting the composition of their parent rocks, are quite different. This does not give 100% certainty that the individual correlation of the deposits of the Burzyan Group in different regions incorrect, but it makes us think again about this problem.
Mineralogical features of gabbroic rocks from Mindyak mafic-ultramafic massif
Authors: Saveliev Dmitry Evgenievich , Gataullin Ruslan Azatovich , Savelieva Elena Nikolaevna , Yumagulova Dilara Il’shatovna
Published: April 2023

The mineralogical features of several samples of gabbroids from the eastern part of the Mindyak mafic-ultramafic massif have been studied. The compositions of rock-forming and accessory minerals are given. The rocks underwent autometamorphic transformations with the replacement of the primary pyroxene-plagioclase association to amphibole and essentially sodium feldspar secondary assemblage. Typical accessory minerals are titanite, ilmenite, titanomagnetite, and apatite. The gabbroids of the massif cover a wide range of compositions from melanogabbro to diorites, also demonstrating significant variations in the contents of petrogenic oxides and trace elements. In terms of REE distribution, most of the studied samples of gabbroids are comparable to basalts of mid-ocean ridges, but often differ from them in high concentrations of strontium and some other rare elements. The gabbroids of the eastern part of the massif have U-Th mineralization in association with aggregates of xenomorphic zircon grains. The origin of these finds has not been established in the present study. Estimates of the PT conditions by the amphibole barometer show the presence of two maxima of values – 2.8–5.1 kbar and less than 2 kbar, which most likely fix two different stages in the formation of rocks – autometamorphism in the magma chamber during cooling and interaction with magmatic fluids (magnesian hornblende), and low-temperature (greenstone) transformations (actinolite).

Published: April 2023

Kur’an-ı Kerim’in doğru anlaşılmasında Kur’an ilimleri önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu yüzden müfessirler eserlerinde Kur’an ilimlerinden istifade etmişlerdir. Son dönem müfessirlerinden Fadl Hasan Abbas da tefsirinde bu konuya önem veren âlimlerden biridir. Bu makalede, Fadl Hasan Abbâs’ın Tefsîrü’l-Kur’âni’l-mecîd adlı tefsiri Kur’an ilimleri açısından incelenmiştir. Söz konusu eser, 452 bölümlük canlı bir radyo yayınının yazıya geçirilmiş hali olarak tam bir Kuran tefsiridir. Söz konusu eseri farklı kılan özelliklerden biri, el ile yazılmış bir tefsir olmamasıdır. Şöyle ki Fadl Hasan, Kur’an-ı Kerim’i ilk defa 1971’de Ürdün radyosunda canlı yayın yaparak 400 bölümde yaklaşık yüz saatte tefsir etmiştir. Her bölüm on beş dakika civarında sürmüştür. İkinci defa yine Ürdün’de yayın yapan “Hayat FM”de her bölüm 20 dakika sürmek üzere 452 bölümde ve toplamda 150 saatten fazla bir süreyi kapsayacak şekilde canlı yayında Kur’an’ı yeniden tefsir etmiştir. Tefsîrü’l-Kur’âni’l-mecîd, müellifin vefatından sonra, kızı başta olmak üzere tefsir ve Kur’an ilimleri sahasında ihtisaslaşmış kişiler ve meşhur öğrencileri tarafından radyo kayıtlarının yazıya dökülerek kitap haline dönüştürülmesinden meydana gelmiştir. Son dönemde yazılmış olmasının yanı sıra radyoda canlı yayınlanıp daha sonra yazıya aktarılması, Fadl Hasan Abbâs’ın söz konusu tefsirini önemli kılan hususlardan birisidir. Çalışmamızda Tefsîrü’l-Kur’âni’l-mecîd adlı eser, mekkî-medenî, sûre ve âyetler arasında münasebet, sebeb-i nüzûl, müşkilu’l-Kur’ân, nâsih-mensûh, muhkem-müteşabih, i’câzu’l-Kur’ân, kısasu’l-Kur’ân ve emsâlu’l-Kurân gibi belli başlı Kur’an ilimleri açısından incelenmiştir. Makalede ilk olarak Fadl Abbâs’ın hayatı hakkında kısaca bilgi verilecek, eserleri tanıtılacak, daha sonra özellikle Tefsîrü’l-Kur’âni’l-mecîd adlı eseri bağlamında Kur’an ilimlerine yaklaşımı üzerinde durulacak-tır.

Money, Methodology, and Happiness: Using Big Data to Study Causal Relationships between Income and Well-being
Authors: Brown Gordon , Quispe-Torreblanca Edika , Gathergood John
Published: April 2023

How is people’s happiness determined by economic factors such as their income? Big data are essential to answering this question, but there is disagreement about the amount of evidence for causal relationships that different types of analysis give. This chapter reviews different approaches to analysis. First, it is argued that most existing literature both underclaims regarding the evidence for causality given by some types of analysis of big data, such as correlational analyses, and overclaims for other types of analysis, such as those involving panel data. Thus, even correlational data can be informative to the extent that associations are generally rare and that theoretical targets and alternatives are fully specified and given prior probabilities. Second, a new methodological problem is identified for a specific model of the income-rank relationship. According to the income rank hypothesis, people’s well-being is determined not by their income but by the ranked position that their income within a social comparison group. It is shown by simulation that spurious rank effects can occur in regression analyses if there is noise in measured income, but that this problem can be reduced with the use of robust regression techniques. A new analysis of a large dataset, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, is reported. The results show that income rank effects are not reduced by the use of robust regression techniques, suggesting that previous support for the income rank hypothesis is not due to a noise-related artefact.
An original perspective: Individuals with an absence of observer-like perspectives are less susceptible to memory reconstruction
Authors: St. Jacques Peggy L.
Published: April 2023

For most people, the capacity to adopt alternative visual perspectives when remembering emerges spontaneously due to the reconstructive nature of memories. As memories become more remote and are vulnerable to distortions, there is a shift in the perspective of memories from own eyes to observer-like vantage points. Yet not all individuals report adopting novel perspectives in memories. The current research examines how the absence of observer-like perspectives influences autobiographical memory retrieval (Study 1: N = 201; Study 2: N = 211). Individuals with an absence of observer-like perspectives maintained their original perspective during remembering and lacked the typical shift in perspective with memory remoteness. The absence of observer-like perspectives was associated with enhanced scene-related aspects of remembering, along with superior spatial visualization ability. Together these findings offer insights into individual differences in the malleability of memories, and the central role that our original perspective plays in preserving the personal past.
The effect of initial accuracy on the learning and retention of novel words
Authors: Kuznia Allyson , Conwell Erin
Published: April 2023

During word learning, incorrect guesses about meaning are inevitable. Prior research on the effects of errors on word learning and retention has had mixed results, with some work showing an advantage for early errors (Fitneva & Christiansen, 2011) and other work finding no such effect (Trueswell, et al., 2013). Using a cross-situational word-learning (CWSL) paradigm, we examine whether incorrect guesses affect word learning and retention, and how the difficulty of the learning task might impact this relationship. In Study 1, 49 English-speaking adults completed a difficult CWSL task with four items presented on each trial. They were tested on their word learning immediately following the learning phase and then again 48 hours later. These participants learned and retained words best when they had correctly guessed the meaning on initial exposure. Study 2 simplified the learning task by presenting three items per trial. In this study, 52 English-speaking participants showed high levels of learning overall, with no significant differences between words on which they made correct or incorrect first guesses. These findings indicate no error advantage in cross-situational word learning and retention.
Anti-Corruption Campaign in China: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Yang Li , Milanovic Branko , Lin Yaoqi
Published: April 2023

We create a database of officials who have been found guilty of corruption in China in the period 2012–21 with their personal characteristics and the amount of embezzled funds. We use it to investigate the correlates of corruption, estimate the effects of corruption on inequality, and find the expected increase in officials’ income due to corruption and the gain in income distribution ranking. We find that the amount of corruption is positively associated with education, administrative (hierarchical) level of the official, and years of membership in the Communist Party. The sample of corrupt officials belongs to the upper income ranges of Chinese income distribution even without corruption. But corruption is a significant engine of upward mobility. While only one-half of the corrupt official would be in the top 5 percent of urban distribution without illegal incomes, practically all are in the top 5 percent when corrupt income is included.

Published: April 2023

Background Ultrasonography of the liver allows detection of liver mass and bile duct dilatation which are findings of suspected Cholangiocarcinoma so that early stage Cholangiocarcinoma can be detected.

Objective To estimate the prevalence of suspected Cholangiocarcinoma as well as its associated factors.

Method These reported results were obtained from the baseline screening for Cholangiocarcinoma as of July 2013 of an ongoing project the Cholangiocarcinoma Screening and Care Program conducted in Northeastern Thailand. Participants were northeasterners who were at least one of the followings: 40 years or older, ever been infected with liver fluke, ever been treated with praziquantel, or ever been consumed raw fresh water fish. Ultrasonography was done by well-trained medical radiologists.

Result Of the total 1,196,685 participants, 58.9% were females with a mean age of 58.2 (standard deviation ± 9.9) years. Suspected Cholangiocarcinoma was found in 15,186 (2.6%; 95% CI: 2.56 to 2.65) individuals. The results observed that the participants with higher age group had high association as compared to younger age group (AOR=1.98; 95% CI: 1.77 to 2.21; p-value < 0.001), hepatitis B infected participants were highly significant as compared to the non- hepatitis B infected (AOR=1.22; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.39; p-value = 0.002) and participants having Hepatitis C were also significantly associated with Cholangiocarcinoma infection (AOR=1.46; 95% CI: 1.04 to 2.05; p-value = 0.029) based on ultra-sonographic screening respectively. However, patients having diabetes were less likely to be associated with Cholangiocarcinoma (AOR=0.87; 95% CI: 0.81 to 0.93; p-value < 0.001).

Conclusion About one out of a hundred cases required further investigations such as Magnetic resonance imaging or Computed Tomography. Early age of ultrasonography screening for Cholangiocarcinoma enhanced the opportunities for early detection of Cholangiocarcinoma and might reduce irrational requests for expensive or invasive methods of diagnosis.

Published: April 2023

Background Dental caries is considered as the most prevalent oral disease in Nepalese population that frequently needs endodontic therapy or root canal treatment (RCT). Pulp infection is one of the most common sequels of dental caries which when left untreated leads to pulpal necrosis and peri-radicular diseases. Patients usually reports to the dental hospital after there is pain, sensitivity, swelling or fracture of the tooth structure which usually impedes their normal routine of daily life. RCT is one of the efficacious therapeutic procedures that can save the teeth retaining its aesthetics and function.

Objective To determine the need of RCT among patients attending Tertiary Care Hospital.

Method A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics over the period of one year from April 2019 to April 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences. In total, 7566 records of the patients that needed endodontic therapy and other treatments were collected and the need of endodontic therapy versus other treatments were assessed. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS version 20. The association between various patient-related variables were calculated by chi square test and mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage were calculated using descriptive statistics. P value was set at < 0.05 for statistical significance.

Result Among the total study population, (n=7566), the mean age was 34.97±14.34 years among which 4387 (58%) were females and 3179 (42%) were males. The type of treatment required by the study participants were significantly associated with age and sex (p < 0.001) and p < 0.001, respectively).

Conclusion The findings of this study concluded that there was an increased need for endodontic therapy among patients visiting the department compared to other treatments. There was a significant association between gender and age showing females and elderly patients in greater need for endodontic therapy.

Published: April 2023

Background The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide since its first recorded case in the city of Wuhan, China, in December 2019. SARS-CoV-2 infection causes asymptomatic to sever pneumonia. Severe cases may develop acute respiratory disease syndrome (ARDS), with an average mortality rate of 6.9%. Real Time Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) assay is the current reference standard laboratory method for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, it takes around 6-8 hours to get the result and is time consuming. Therefore, rapid and accurate tests for SARS-CoV-2 screening are essential to expedite disease prevention and control. Lateral flow immunoassay using monoclonal anti SARS-CoV-2 antibodies which target for SARS-CoV-2 antigen can be complimentary screening test if their accuracy were comparable to that of the real time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay.

Objective To find the sensitivity and specificity of a rapid antigen test kit in comparison to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Method A cross-sectional hospital based study was carried out at Shree Birendra Army Hospital, Kathmandu for a period of four months.

Result Our finding shows sensitivity and specificity of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) Ag kit as 60.6% and 96.4% respectively. Positive and negative predictive value was 83.7% and 89.0%. Likewise, positive and negative likelihood ratio was 17.0 and 0.4. The overall accuracy of the antigen kit was 88.1% in comparison to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) as the gold standard.

Conclusion Our study concluded the use of rapid antigen kit is mainly useful for screening purposes.

Authors: Christie Mairin , Khademi Mehrzad , Muhammad Asma , Naik Disha , Polanski Alexander , Coleman Jaimie , MacKay Crystal , Chu Anna
Published: April 2023

Purpose:

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting high number of individuals requiring hospitalization has caused health care systems worldwide to alter hospital policies and procedures. This study examined how changes in hospital operations between March 2020 and March 2021 affected physiotherapists’ roles and responsibilities in Ontario, Canada.

Method:

Between February and March 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study using an online survey of physiotherapists employed in acute care and rehabilitation hospitals.

Results:

Among 230 respondents, 82 (35.7%) reported being redeployed at some point during the study period to new settings or areas of practice. Physiotherapists typically working in outpatient settings were the most likely to be redeployed (63.3%), with 62.9% of respondents reporting caring for COVID-19 patients. Among 37.1% of respondents reporting undertaking new responsibilities (e.g., personal support work, nursing, infection control), 72.0% reported being confident in their abilities; however, only 49.4% felt adequately trained.

Conclusions:

Hospital-based physiotherapists in Ontario, Canada took on a variety of traditional and non-traditional responsibilities during the first year of the pandemic. Although confident in their abilities, feelings of being inadequately trained highlight the need for improved processes when taking on new responsibilities to support delivery of patient care and physiotherapists’ well-being.

The inclusion of plant components in meat products plays a substantial role in human nutrition, since such inclusions are a source of biologically active substances, promote digestion, and increase the nutritional composition of food products. The purpose of this paper is to review the latest studies on the use of plant components in the production of meat products and search for new ones that can be used as substitutes for artificial additives and meat raw materials. During the study, methods of analysis, comparison, and synthesis of papers of Ukrainian and foreign researchers located in scientometric databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus, and internet resources, are used. During the study of the literature, the main problems of meat products production are considered: spoilage of products during storage, increased content of nitrates and phosphates, development of pathogenic microflora. It is identified that the main centre of research is oxidative processes during the production and storage of finished meat products. It is identified that due to the high content of vitamins, phenolic compounds, and micro- and microelements, plant inclusions can act as inhibitors in such reactions. In the course of the study, it is determined that the most commonly used: peel, pulp, juices, and extracts of fruits and vegetables as plant inclusions. The main task of such inclusions is to replace synthetic inclusions with natural ones to increase the nutritional value and composition of food products. A comparative analysis of the nutritional value and chemical composition of fruits, vegetables, and their juices is conducted to select the most fitting plant inclusions that are common on the Ukrainian market. The indicators are summarised in the table. Replacing artificial antioxidants, preservatives, and other compounds with their natural counterparts is essential for modern manufacturing, as such technological solutions will help make food more functional, healthy, and increase the level of beneficial compounds in food.

In aquaculture, the use of clove oil as a natural anaesthetic for hydrobiontes is gaining popularity. There are several ways to prepare an aqueous emulsion for anaesthesia, which creates a problem for technologists in choosing the most effective one. The purpose of the study was to compare the anaesthetic effect of clove oil in three methods of preparation of the mixture on the youth of the African clary catfish. The study was conducted at the Centre for Aquatic Bioresources and Aquaculture of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Research methods – Ichthyological and statistical. The activity of a water-based clove oil preparation was evaluated using three methods: hot, cold, and alcohol. Experimental material – juvenile fish of the clary catfish with an individual body weight from 22 to 285 g. Experimental conditions: the experimental material was kept without feeding for a day before the start of the study; fish anaesthesia was performed in the water at the temperature of +26 0C; the duration of manipulations with each fish was minimal. The effectiveness of various methods of preparation of the emulsion was evaluated by the duration of fish entry into the state of anaesthesia and withdrawal from this state. The advantage of the hot method of preparing an aqueous emulsion of clove oil over the other two is established: the duration of fish entry into anaesthesia was 22% shorter compared with the cold method, and 12.3% – with the alcohol method (p ≤ 0.05). The duration of fish recovery from anaesthesia with the hot method of preparation of the mixture was also shorter: compared to the cold method – 18% (p ≤ 0.05), with the alcohol method – 43.2% (p ≤ 0.001). Using correlation analysis, a relationship was established between the duration of fish entry into the state of anaesthesia and the individual body weight of the fish. Degree of binding: high for hot (r = 0.606) and alcohol methods (r = 0.529) and medium for a cold method of preparation of an anaesthetic mixture (r = 0.385). The results obtained are of practical value for improving the method of anaesthesia of fish using clove oil

Vitamin-mineral deficiency is quite common in the world, which negatively affects the growth and development of children, provokes the development of chronic pathologies, allergic conditions. Children and pregnant women are particularly sensitive to this condition. Considering the vitamin and elemental composition of each of the drugs, it becomes necessary to examine the effect of various complexes on the body. The purpose of the study is to examine the morphological state of organs from the use of a vitamin-mineral complex during normal pregnancy in white rats and their offspring and examine the elemental analysis of target organs and whole blood. The experiment was conducted on pregnant female white laboratory rats and their offspring to achieve this goal. Histological, ultramicroscopic, morphometric, atomic-absorptic, functional methods, and statistical analysis are used for the study. A positive effect of the vitamin-mineral complex of the selected composition on both pre- and postnatal development of offspring is identified. The average offspring rate increased by 9.79% (p = 0.0443), while the stillbirth rate decreased by 81.82% (p = 0.0324). The absence of negative side effects of the complex on the development of basic reflex and behavioural reactions, motor activity, and cognitive activity of offspring is proved. A positive effect on the morphological characteristics of the liver, brain, heart, and kidneys is evident: the number of full hepatocytes in mature animals increased by 8.17% (p = 0.0482), and in young animals – by 5.03% (p = 0.0137), in the brain tissue of 7-day-old animals, the number of neurons increased by 7.70% (p = 0.0438), and the number of functionally defective neurons decreased. Microelement analysis of organs identified a tendency to increase the amount of a number of trace elements, which was reflected in the improvement of the antioxidant systems pf the body. A positive effect of the complex on the processes of hematopoiesis is noted. The results obtained can become morphological evidence for the choice of correction of macro-, microelement, and vitamin balance, prevention of its deficiency in pregnant women, and prevention of the development of deficient conditions in infants

Pada jaringan distribusi 20 kV terdapat suatu pengaman proteksi apabila terjadi gangguan pada jaringan distribusi tenaga listrik. Peralatan proteksi tersebut diantaranya yaitu LBS Motorize, Recloser dan PMT. Peralatan tersebut harus dijaga kehandalannya guna menjaga kontinuitas distribusi tegangan listrik. Oleh karena itu diperlukan backup catudaya yang handal untuk menjaga peralatan proteksi selalu ready apabila terjadi gangguan jaringan distribusi 20 kV. Saat ini di PT PLN UP2D Kalimantan Selatan dan Tengah kehandalan backup catudaya di Motorize dan recloser dalam kondisi tidak baik. Hal itu dikarenakan beberapa aspek yaitu baterai hilang, drop/menurunnya kualitas baterai dan baterai sobek. Untuk melakukan pengecekan dan pengujian kondisi baterai petugas harus datang ke lokasi Motorize/recloser, yang tentunya pekerjaan tersebut memerlukan effort waktu dan tenaga yang cukup besar dikarenakan total aset yang banyak juga luasnya wilayah kerja. Sedangkan untuk menjaga kehandalan peralatan proteksi sangat diperlukan backup catudaya yang handal. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk dapat membuat alat yang dapat memonitoring kondisi baterai jarak jauh dengan teknologi SCADA serta dapat mengetahui kinerja alat uji dan monitoring baterai jarak jauh berbasis SCADA. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yaitu alat ini dirancang untuk monitoring kondisi baterai baik itu baterai hilang maupun drop serta alat ini dirancang untuk dapat menguji ketahanan baterai otomatis. Relay timer akan memutus tegangan charger baterai setiap 3 hari sekali selama 30 menit untuk melakukan pengujian baterai. Apabila baterai menunjukkan tegangan 21 VDC maka LVD akan mengirimkan perintah 1(satu) ke modul N4D8B08 sehingga akan terbaca di SCADA bahwa baterai drop. Dan ketika charger tidak bekerja maka akan terbaca 0(Nol) pada modul N4D8B08 yang artinya charger mal fungsi. Ketika baterai tidak berada pada tempatnya maka limit switch akan mengirim perintah 1(satu) ke Modul N4D8B08 sehingga akan terbaca Baterai hilang. Hasil dari penelitian yaitu Alat monitoring tegangan ini jika dibandingkan dengan alat ukur Avometer pengukuran tegangan baterai yaitu hanya selisih tegangan 0,17 Volt dengan presentasi error tegangan yaitu 0,9998 %. Sedangkan waktu pengiriman data diperoleh delay waktu pengiriman data antara RTU (remote terminal unit) dengan SCADA yaitu delay 0,001 detik. Komunikasi data SCADA realtime.
