Published: January 2023

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic fragments with particle sizes smaller than 5 mm that have potentially harmful effects on ecosystems and human health. The soil environment is not only the source but also the sink of MPs. Thus, it is necessary to fully understand the pollution and distribution of MPs in soils. In this study, Qinghai Province, northeast of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, was selected as the research area, and 22 soil samples were collected and analyzed to study the levels and distribution characteristics of MPs in grassland soils. MPs were obtained from the soils by using density separation, and a laser confocal micro Raman spectrometer was used for MP identification. The results showed that MPs were detected in all of the soil samples. The total abundances of MPs ranged from 1125 to 1329 items/kg, with a mean abundance of 1202 items/kg. Various types, shapes, sizes, and colors of MPs were observed. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was the dominant polymer in all the grassland soil samples. The size range of 10–50 μm accounted for 50% of all identified MPs. Pellets were the dominant MP shape, and colored MPs accounted for 64% of all MPs. The results revealed the presence of large quantities of MPs in the grassland soils of remote areas as well. This study can act as a reference for further studies of MPs in terrestrial systems. At the end of the paper, the prospects and suggestions for pollution control by soil MPs are given.

We determined the prevalence and reported risk factors associated with sexually transmitted and reproductive tract infections (STI/RTIs) among patients who presented with genital symptoms in STI/outpatient department (OPD) clinics in two regional referral hospitals and six health centres in six regions in Tanzania. Methods: The patients were consecutively recruited, and the data collection was conducted in eight health care facilities from 2014 to 2016. Genital swabs were collected for the detection of the aetiological pathogens of STI/RTIs. Results: A total of 1243 participants were recruited in the study; the majority (1073, 86%) were women. The overall median age was 27.8. The prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 25.7% (319/1243), with proportions of 50.9 and 21.5% for men and women, respectively, of Chlamydia trachomatis 12.9% (160/1241) and Mycoplasma genitalium 4.7% (53/1134). Unmarried men were more often likely to be infected with gonococcal infections as compared to their women counterparts (57.9 vs. 24.1%) p < 0.001. The majority presented with genital discharge syndrome (GDS) 93.6% (1163/1243), genital ulcer disease (GUD) 13.0% (162/1243) and GDS + GUD 9.6% (119/1243). GDS was more common in the health centres, 96.1% (1195/1243), vs. the regional referral hospitals, 92.2% (1146/1243) (p = 0.01), but those reported to the regional referral hospitals were more likely to be infected with N. gonorrhoeae (OR = 2.5) and C. trachomatis (OR = 2.1) than those from the health centres (p < 0.001). The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vaginal candidiasis (VC) was 24.1 and 10.4%, respectively. Interestingly, unmarried and BV-positive women were less likely to be infected with VC (p = 0.03), though VC was strongly inversely associated with an N. gonorrhoeae infection (p < 0.001). High proportions of N. gonorrhoeae (51.1%) and C. trachomatis (23.3%) were found in the Dodoma and Dar es Salaam regions, respectively. M. genitalium (7.6%) was found to be the highest in Mwanza. Conclusion: We reported a high prevalence of STI/RTIs. The findings suggest that these infections are common and prevalent in STI/OPD clinics in six regions of Tanzania. We recommend surveillance to be conducted regularly to elucidate the true burden of emerging and classical STI/RTIs by employing modern and advanced laboratory techniques for the detection and monitoring of STI/RTIs in low- and high-risk populations, including the community settings.

Published: January 2023

Chagas disease is more prevalent in socially vulnerable communities in the Gran Chaco Eco-region. The study evaluated the seroprevalence of Chagas disease and associated factors between May 2014 and September 2015, in indigenous communities of Santa Fe, Argentina, in the southern Chaco. Lysate ELISA and indirect hemagglutination tests were used to detect antibodies against Trypanosoma cruzi, and recombinant ELISA was used in the case of disagreement. Household surveys were conducted with the head of household about risk factors for the disease. Serological tests were conducted on 298 people from three indigenous communities, 127 male and 171 female. Seroprevalence was 18.5%. A total of 64 surveys were conducted; 82.8% of the heads of household were male, with a median age of 39 years, and 61.0% had not completed primary school. In 35.9% of the households, there was at least one member of the cohabiting group infected with T. cruzi. The level of education of the head of household showed a statistically significant association with Chagas disease (OR = 3.43), among all the risk factors studied. The prevalence of infection is lower than that of other indigenous communities of the Gran Chaco, probably because environmental conditions are moderating and disfavoring the establishment of the insect vector in homes, but also because of socioeconomic differences with the rest of the eco-region. Beyond this, serological controls are needed to prevent vertical transmission.

Published: January 2023

The amaranthine scale of the COVID-19 pandemic and unpredictable disease severity is of grave concern. Serological diagnostic aids are an excellent choice for clinicians for rapid and easy prognosis of the disease. To this end, we studied the humoral immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection to map immunogenic regions in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome at amino acid resolution using a high-density SARS-CoV-2 proteome peptide microarray. The microarray has 4932 overlapping peptides printed in duplicates spanning the entire SARS-CoV-2 proteome. We found 204 and 676 immunogenic peptides against IgA and IgG, corresponding to 137 and 412 IgA and IgG epitopes, respectively. Of these, 6 and 307 epitopes could discriminate between disease severity. The emergence of variants has added to the complexity of the disease. Using the mutation panel available, we could detect 5 and 10 immunogenic peptides against IgA and IgG with mutations belonging to SAR-CoV-2 variants. The study revealed severity-based epitopes that could be presented as potential prognostic serological markers. Further, the mutant epitope immunogenicity could indicate the putative use of these markers for diagnosing variants responsible for the infection.

Published: January 2023

The decision to receive a COVID-19 vaccine is influenced by a variety of individual and contextual factors. However, there are very few studies that analyse individual vaccination decisions using a qualitative methodology. To close this gap, we conducted a qualitative interview study to examine the opinions and experiences with the vaccine among patients previously hospitalized due to COVID-19, including barriers and facilitators to vaccine uptake. An exploratory qualitative study, using semi-structured telephone interviews, was conducted among 22 patients admitted for COVID-19 in Poland in 2022. Opinions of patients previously hospitalized with COVID-19 on vaccination were varied. Barriers to COVID-19 vaccine uptake stemmed from concerns about vaccine safety, patients’ religious beliefs, and negative stories. High disease severity and anxiety over personal and family health were important arguments in favour of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. The study findings indicated the need for ongoing health education by healthcare staff as well as coordination and integration of multi-sectoral institutional measures regarding COVID-19 prevention strategies as well as increased public health initiatives on social media and engagement of community leaders for awareness about vaccines and vaccination. It is crucial to build trust in COVID-19 vaccinations among the general public by disseminating reliable information through trustworthy and credible sources. However, it ought to be emphasised that, regardless of the measures taken, some individuals will remain unconvinced about receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.

Published: January 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a global health problem since December 2019. Vaccination has been widely considered the best way to prevent COVID-19 pandemic, but public concerns about the safety of vaccines remain. There have been many studies reporting adverse events in the vaccinated. However, to date, no meta-analysis of the association of COVID-19 vaccination with psychiatric adverse events has been conducted yet. In this meta-analysis, studies on depression, anxiety and distress after COVID-19 vaccination were searched in the PubMed, Cochrane and Embase from January 2020 to April 2022. The OR of depression in four studies with a total sample size of 462,406 is obtained as 0.88 (95% CI; 0.75, 1.03), and the OR of anxiety as 0.86 (95% CI; 0.71, 1.05). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The mean difference of distress in two studies was −0.04 (95%CI; −0.05, −0.02; p < 0.0001). As a result of the moderator analysis, married people experienced less depression and anxiety after vaccination, and in White people, depression after vaccination was lower than others. We also found that people with a history of COVID-19 infection were more depressed and anxious after vaccination. We suggest that COVID-19 vaccination was not associated with a worsening of depression and anxiety.

Published: January 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had a devastating impact on the world’s population in the years 2020–2022. The rapid development of vaccines enabled a reduction in the mortality and morbidity of COVID-19, but there are limited data about their effects on immunocompromised children. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the mRNA BNT162b2 (Pfizer/Biontech) vaccine in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. Material and methods: Two cohorts of 34 children after allo-HSCT and 35 healthy children aged 5–11 years were vaccinated with two doses of the mRNA BNT162b2 (10 µg) vaccine. All children were evaluated for adverse effects with electronic surveys and the immunogenicity of the vaccine was assessed with anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG titer measurements. Results: All reported adverse events (AEs) were classified as mild. The most common AE was pain at the injection site. All the other AEs (both local and systemic) were rarely reported (<15% patients). Both groups showed a similar response in anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG production. Patients after allo-HSCT that were undergoing immunosuppressive treatment presented a poorer immunological response than patients off of treatment. Time since HSCT, patient age, lymphocyte count, and total IgG concentration did not correlate with initial/post-vaccination anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG titers. Most patients who were eligible for a third dose of the vaccine had an excellent humoral response observed after two vaccine doses. Conclusions: The COVID-19 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine is very well tolerated and highly immunogenic in 5–11-year-old children after HSCT. Children >2 years of age after HSCT who did not receive immunosuppressive treatment presented excellent antibody production after two doses of the vaccine, but children on immunosuppression may require a more intense vaccination schedule.
MicroRNAs in Ruminants and Their Potential Role in Nutrition and Physiology
Authors: Ojo Oyindamola Esther , Kreuzer-Redmer Susanne
Published: January 2023

The knowledge of how diet choices, dietary supplements, and feed intake influence molecular mechanisms in ruminant nutrition and physiology to maintain ruminant health, is essential to attain. In the present review, we focus on the role of microRNAs in ruminant health and disease; additionally, we discuss the potential of circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of disease in ruminants and the state of technology for their detection, also considering the major difficulties in the transition of biomarker development from bench to clinical practice. MicroRNAs are an inexhaustible class of endogenous non-protein coding small RNAs of 18 to 25 nucleotides that target either the 3′ untranslated (UTR) or coding region of genes, ensuring a tight post-transcriptionally controlled regulation of gene expression. The development of new “omics” technologies facilitated a fresh perspective on the nutrition–to–gene relationship, incorporating more extensive data from molecular genetics, animal nutrition, and veterinary sciences. MicroRNAs might serve as important regulators of metabolic processes and may present the inter-phase between nutrition and gene regulation, controlled by the diet. The development of biomarkers holds the potential to revolutionize veterinary practice through faster disease detection, more accurate ruminant health monitoring, enhanced welfare, and increased productivity. Finally, we summarize the latest findings on how microRNAs function as biomarkers, how technological paradigms are reshaping this field of research, and how platforms are being used to identify novel biomarkers. Numerous studies have demonstrated a connection between circulating microRNAs and ruminant diseases such as mastitis, tuberculosis, foot-and-mouth disease, fasciolosis, and metabolic disorders. Therefore, the identification and analysis of a small number of microRNAs can provide crucial information about the stage of a disease, etiology, and prognosis.
Treatment of a Recurrent Pyometra by Surgical Uterine Drainage in a Main Coon Cat
Authors: Martini Gianluca , Bucci Roberta , Parrillo Salvatore , Carluccio Augusto , Pisu Maria Carmela
Published: January 2023

Pyometra is a uterine disease typical of the luteal phase of the estrus cycle. For selected patients, such as breeding subjects, ovariohysterectomy is not a valid resolutive option. Medical treatments involving cloprostenol and aglepristone have been developed for the cats, but they can be ineffective in rare cases. Transcervical drainage and flushing have been described for the dogs, as well as for large wild cats. However, to the author’s knowledge, there are no report of uterine drainage in cats. The present case describes an alternative treatment of pyometra in a 3-year-old Main Coon previously treated with aglepristone. The patient underwent a laparotomy: the uterus was exposed, and a sterile urinary catheter was inserted into each horn, through the wall of the uterus, to allow the drainage of pathological collection and a subsequent lavage with lukewarm sterile saline. Medical treatment with aglepristone and marbofloxacin was associated. After treatment, no recurrence was reported, and the cat had an uneventful pregnancy. Although it is a unique case report, the results presented are promising, as the technique appears to have provided healing and preserved fertility. Further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy in the long-term prevention of recurrence.
Current Perspectives on the Challenges of Implementing Assistance Dogs in Human Mental Health Care
Authors: Foltin Sandra , Glenk Lisa Maria
Published: January 2023

The prevalence of mental health disorders, driven by current global crises, is notably high. During the past decades, the popularity of dogs assisting humans with a wide spectrum of mental health disorders has significantly increased. Notwithstanding these dogs’ doubtless value, research on their legal status, certification processes, training and management practices, as well as their welfare status, has been scarce. This scoping review highlights that in contrast to other assistance dogs such as guide dogs, there exists no consistent terminology to mark dogs that assist humans with impaired mental health. Legal authorities monitoring the accreditation process, training and tracking of mental health supporting dogs are broadly lacking, with only few exceptions. This review emphasizes the need to address several topics in the promotion of progress in legal and welfare issues related to assistance dogs as well as emotional support dogs for humans with a mental health disorder. The current body of knowledge was assessed in three different areas of focus: (1) the legal dimension including definitions and certification processes; (2) the dimension of performed tasks; and (3) the dog welfare dimension including aspects of the relationship with the handler and risks associated with children recipients. Considering the challenges associated with a mental health diagnosis, collaborations of dog provider organizations and health care professionals would be desirable to continuously assess the efficiency of the human-dog dyad regarding their overall compatibility, general satisfaction and mutual well-being.

Housing confinement, adaptation to different light/dark conditions, and social deprivation could modify the amount of total locomotor behavior of calves recommended for their psychophysical health. Total locomotor behavior was recorded by means of an activity data logger every 5 min for 6 consecutive days. To do that eight clinically healthy 30-day-old Holstein calves living in calf boxes under natural photoperiod and environmental conditions were enrolled. ANOVA (analysis of variance) showed a statistical effect of the day of monitoring and animal. In the temporal distribution of the resting–activity frequency, it was observed that the calves presented periods of total locomotor behavior with the existence of two peaks, one between 06:00–07:00 and another between 17:00–18:00, which corresponds to time of food intake. In all animals, a diurnal daily rhythm of total locomotor behavior was observed during time of monitoring. Intrasubject and intersubject variabilities were statistically different in mesor, amplitude, and robustness of rhythm. In conclusion, the total locomotor behavior showed a diurnal daily rhythmicity in 30-day-old calves. The characteristics of rhythm were different from individual to individual and from day to day. The recorded intersubject variability must be taken in consideration during the monitoring of farm animals and justifies the application of the device to each animal, as precision livestock farming suggests.

Published: January 2023

Fenneropenaeus chinensis is an important economic species in the north of China, and plays an important role in both marine fishing and aquaculture. Long-term overfishing has led to the rapid decline of wild F. chinensis resources. The traditional trawl survey could not meet the demands of the F. chinensis resource survey. In this study, environmental DNA (eDNA) technology was used to evaluate the biomass of F. chinensis in the traditional Qinghai (Qingdao Haiyang) fishing ground in the southern sea area of the Shandong Peninsula, with the purpose of verifying whether eDNA technology can provide a new resource assessment method for fisheries resource species such as F. chinensis. The eDNA quantitative results of the Qingdao water samples ranged from 1972 copies/L to 6937 copies/L, with an average of 4366 ±1691 copies/L. Those in Haiyang water samples ranged from 4795 copies/L to 8715 copies/L, with an average of 6737 ± 1348 copies/L. The concentration of eDNA in shrimp culture ponds ranged from 1.14 × 106 copies/L to 7.61 × 106 copies/L, with an average of 3.33 × 106 ± 2.28 × 106 copies/L. The amount of eDNA released by each gram of F. chinensis per 24 h was about 2.91 × 106 copies. According to this calculation, it was estimated that the distribution of F. chinensis was about one shrimp in every 300 m2 sea area. Similarly, it is estimated that one shrimp is distributed every 240 m2 in the Haiyang sea area. The result of this study confirms the feasibility of using eDNA to evaluate the biomass of shrimps.

Authors: Liang Yankai , Wang Rui , Sun Wenquan , Sun Yongjun
Published: January 2023

Municipal sludge is characterized by high organic matter content, high viscosity, and fine particles, resulting in poor dewatering performance. This article analyzes the composition and properties of municipal sludge, examines the factors affecting the dewatering performance of sludge and the mechanisms corresponding to each influencing factor, and introduces chemical conditioning in detail. Chemical conditioning includes flocculation conditioning, oxidation conditioning, acid-base conditioning, and aggregate conditioning. The principles and applications of existing sludge conditioning technologies are systematically analyzed. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of different technologies, it is pointed out that the key to developing sludge conditioning technology lies in developing a more appropriate combination of the sludge conditioning and dewatering process according to the sludge quality of different municipal wastewater treatment plants, taking into account their local environment, input costs, subsequent sludge disposal methods, and other factors, and further optimizing the sludge dewatering process by developing new efficient and environmentally friendly sludge conditioning agents.

Published: January 2023

Our paper aims to improve flood forecasting by establishing whether a global hydrological forecast system could be used as an alternative to a regional system, or whether it could provide additional information. This paper was based on the operational Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) of the European Commission Copernicus Emergency Management Service, as well as on a regional hydrological forecast system named RHFS, which was created with observations recorded in the Wangjiaba river basin in China. We compared the discharge simulations of the two systems, and tested the influence of input. Then the discharge ensemble forecasts were evaluated for lead times of 1–7 d, and the impact on the forecasts of errors in initialization and modelling were considered. We also used quantile mapping (QM) to post-process the discharge simulations and forecasts. The results showed: (1) GloFAS (KGE of 0.54) had a worse discharge simulation than RHFS (KGE of 0.88), mainly because of the poor quality of the input; (2) the average forecast skill of GloFAS (CRPSS about 0.2) was inferior to that of RHFS (CRPSS about 0.6), because of the errors in the initialization and the model, however, GloFAS had a higher forecast quality than RHFS at high flow with longer lead times; (3) QM performed well at eliminating errors in input, the model, and the initialization.

Published: January 2023

With the rapid development of urbanization and a population surge, the drawback of water pollution, especially eutrophication, poses a severe threat to ecosystem as well as human well-being. Timely monitoring the variations of water quality is a precedent to preventing the occurrence of eutrophication. Traditional monitoring methods (station monitoring or satellite remote sensing), however, fail to real-time obtain water quality in an accurate and economical way. In this study, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a multispectral camera is used to acquire the refined remote sensing data of water bodies. Meanwhile, in situ measurement and sampling in-lab testing are carried out to obtain the observed values of four water quality parameters; subsequently, the comprehensive trophic level index (TLI) is calculated. Then three machine learning algorithms (i.e., Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), Random Forest (RF) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN)) are applied to construct the inversion model for water quality estimation. The measured values of water quality showed that the trophic status of the study area was mesotrophic or light eutrophic, which was consistent with the government’s water-control ambition. Among the four water quality parameters, TN had the highest correlation (r = 0.81, p = 0.001) with TLI, indicating that the variation in TLI was inextricably linked to TN. The performances of the three models were satisfactory, among which XGB was considered the optimal model with the best accuracy validation metrics (R2 = 0.83, RMSE = 0.52). The spatial distribution map of water quality drawn by the XGB model was in good agreement with the actual situation, manifesting the spatial applicability of the XGB model inversion. The research helps guide effective monitoring and the development of timely warning for eutrophication.

Published: January 2023

O Programa Saúde na Escola é uma política interministerial dos Ministério da Saúde e da Educação com o objetivo de levar prevenção e promoção à saúde aos estudantes das escolas públicas brasileiras. Neste sentido este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o Programa Saúde na Escola sob o olhar dos gestores educacionais quanto às parcerias estabelecidas entre as unidades escolares e unidades de saúde, buscando identificar o lugar (ou não) da educação no planejamento, execução e avaliação das ações desenvolvidas. Participaram desta pesquisa 58 gestores escolares de uma Diretoria Regional de Educação da cidade de São Paulo, que preencheram um questionário online sobre o seu envolvimento e percepção quanto ao Programa Saúde na Escola. O questionário foi avaliado com base no Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Observou-se nos resultados que a percepção dos gestores para as relações intersetoriais entre educação e saúde são muito frágeis, cabendo ao setor saúde o planejamento, execução e avaliação das atividades, aos gestores. Cabe, às vezes, elaborar os cronogramas em conjunto com os profissionais de saúde e colaborar no apoio operacional para a realização das ações, resultando em um “não lugar” da educação nas práticas desenvolvidas no âmbito do Programa Saúde na Escola.

Published: January 2023

Stained glass windows are applied in residential buildings more often nowadays, and therefore the natural ventilation is impossible to apply. The mechanical ventilation is good for apply in the situation. A lot of questions about the rationing of the noise in internal rooms in residential buildings are arisen. Residents complain the ventilation equipment noise from inter-corridor and the living area. Therefore, the question about study of noise generation in ventilation system and mechanical equipment^ that is applied in design, issue requires detailed research. For the study the question is necessary to do some research: analysis of foreign articles of noise regulation, measurement of noise in the inter-corridor and residential spaces, doing some calculations based on researching measurements, identification of normative noise characteristics for measurement data and carrying out measurements on noise measurement in the ventilation. This article presents the results of natural studies on noise levels from the operation of engineering equipment in the inter-apartment space of a residential building in the daytime (from 08:00 to 22:00 hours) and at night (from 00:00 to 06:00 hours) of the day. A theoretical study was carried out to compare the standard levels of sound pressure in residential buildings in different countries.

Authors: Petuhova N.
Published: January 2023

The article considers and analyzes the main features of the formation of architectural ensembles of railways, which determine the principles of their preservation and development. The method of system analysis was applied on the materials of archival and bibliographic sources, field studies, legal acts and project documentation in the field of state protection of cultural heritage objects.

The main historical stages of the construction of railways and their types - mainline, suburban, urban were studied. The connection of historical stages and types of railways with the principles of station placement is revealed. The main types of station placement are identified - in existing settlements or in previously uninhabited areas, which determine their object composition and protection features - as mono-complexes or polycentric complexes at various urban planning levels - a separate object, a station complex, a set of railway stations. It has been established that the main basic characteristic of railway stations, which determine their historical and cultural value, especially in small towns, is the complexity of their development. At the same time, the most common type of development is based on standard projects, in connection with which each building separately does not have an independent historical and cultural value, and it does not seem appropriate to protect individual buildings.

On the example of the historical station Nyandoma of the Northern Railway, such a tool for the integrated protection and development of historical territories as a place of interest is considered. The principles of the formation of historical railway stations and scientific and methodological issues in the field of their integrated protection and development on the basis of the type of cultural heritage object - a place of interest are established.

Authors: Baidi Ribut , Yuherawan Deni Setya Bagus
Published: January 2023

ABSTRAK Aktifitas bisnis dan pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia mayoritas bergantung kepada sektor perbankan sebagai mitra permodalan melalui kredit maupun bentuk pinjaman lainnya. Namun, seiring perjalanan waktu, banyak terjadi penyimpangan yang mengarah kepada kejahatan perbankan,  seperti kredif fiktif yang melibatkan nasabah/konsumen dan petugas perbankan,  bocornya dokumen yang menyangkut kerahasiaan perbankan, dan kejahatan yang berkaitan dengan perijinan operasional perbankan. Artikel ini membahas tentang pertanggungjawaban tindak pidana perbankan perspektif hukum pidana dan undang-undang perbankan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis-normatif dengan menggunakan analisis deskriptif. Kesimpulannya, tindak pidana perbankan ada dua kategori, yakni kejahatan dan pelanggaran. Tindak pidana kejahatan perbankan disebutkan di dalam Pasal 47 sampai dengan Pasal 50A Undang-undang Perbankan, dengan sanksi pidana penjara dan denda. Sedangkan, Pasal 48 ayat (2) UU Perbankan merupakan kategori tindak pidana pelanggaran yang mendapatkan sanksi pidana kurungan. Tindak pidana perbankan adalah tindak pidana khusus perbankan, tapi unsurnya sama seperti tindak pidana umum, yakni adanya actus reus dan mens rea. Penerapan sanksi pidana bisa diterapkan kepada bank maupun kepada pegawainya sesuai kejahatan yang dilakukan, serta rumusan deliknya bisa diterapkan secara kelembagaan maupun secara pribadiABSTRACTThe majority of business activities and economic growth in Indonesia depend on the banking sector as a partner for capital through credit and other forms of loans. However, over time, many irregularities led to banking officers, leaks of documents concerning banking secrecy, and crimes related to licencing banking operations. The article discusses the liability of banking crimes from the perspective of criminal law and banking law. This research is a juridical-normative research using descriptive analysis. In conclusion, there are two categories of banking crimes, namely crimes and violations. Banking crimes are mentioned in Articles 47 to 50A of the Banking Law, with imprisonment and fines. Meanwhile, Article 48 paragraph (2) of the Banking Law is a category of criminal offense that is subject to imprisonment. A banking crime is a crime, but the elements are the same as a general crime, namely the actus reus and mens rea.

Abstract. Online learning that was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic had various limitations. One alternative that can be a learning solution is the implementation of limited face-to-face learning. However, the implementation of limited face-to-face learning has weaknesses, including a lack of learning time allocation because the number of face-to-face hours has decreased. On the other hand, giving group assignments in online learning raises the phenomenon of male students' inactivity and completely leaves it to female students to do group assignments. By looking at this phenomenon, we need a learning model that can give freedom to students to develop their critical thinking skills. So, learning that is considered to be able to overcome these weaknesses is learning with Blended Learning with the MARAJA learning model. The MARAJA learning model is a learning model that focuses on increasing the effectiveness of the biology learning process, increasing male students' learning motivation, and increasing students' critical thinking skills. The MARAJA Learning Model consists of 4 stages namely (1) Starting from self and Analysis, (2) Action Plans and Applications in content, (3) Explaining Content, and (4) Appreciation. The approach used in this study is a library approach, with data collection methods in the form of documents in the form of books, literature and scientific journals related to the topics written in this article. The data analysis technique used is an interactive analysis technique consisting of three steps, namely data reduction, data display and data verification.Keywords: blended learning, MARAJA learning model, critical thinking, motivation, learning effectiveness.

In the development of the banking business, credit issues remain interesting to study and uncover. Most of the problems occur not in the system implemented by the bank, but the problem occurs precisely in the human resources who manage credit, either in their relationship with consumers or in errors on the part of the bank which mispredicts in assessing consumers who apply for credit. Several studies in the computer field have been carried out to reduce credit risk which causes losses to the company. In this study, a comparison of the Naive Bayes, C4.5 and KNN algorithms was carried out which was applied to consumer data that received credit eligibility for good and bad customers. The best prediction results are nave Bayes with an accuracy of 95.95% and an AUC of 0.974. The results of this classification are implemented in the form of a website-based application that can be used to facilitate related parties in the credit scoring system.

Pandemic Covid-19 has spread rapidly, causing a severe health crisis worldwide, including Indonesia. As is well known, due to Indonesia’s diverse population, there are differences in the number of cases between cities. Therefore, a distribution clustering process is needed to develop a map of Covid-19 cases which aims to enable optimal handling of this pandemic. In this study, DBSCAN was used for the clustering process of Covid-19 spread on Palopo city. Clustering using the DBSCAN algorithm is needed to find out the clusters that are formed and the location of Covid-19 spread in certain areas. The result of clustering using DBSCAN show that the largest cluster has a total 0f 432 cases that occurred throughout the time period with an average of 15 cases per day. After visualization, the most distribution of Covid-19 was in the central area of Palopo City and concentrated in Wara District with 250 cases.

The DCS SCADA course is one of the latest courses for the 2022 curriculum at Politeknik ATI Makassar. This course has case study-based learning from the industrial world and involves very expensive instrumentation devices for Real Plant, so a Teaching Module with factory i/o was created. This research aims to develop a DCS SCADA Teaching Module based on the Water Level Control case using Labview and Factory I/O. The virtual plant uses a water tank with instruments consisting of two control valves, namely the fill valve and the discharge valve, and two transducers, namely the level meter and the flow meter. To connect the factory I/O to NI Labview, the open protocol Modbus Ethernet is used. Based on the testing results, the calibration for the level measurement has an accuracy of 99.59% and a precision of 0.69% with the interpolation y = 0.301x -0.536 for a 100% correlation. For the system response with SP = 150 without disturbance, the PID parameters should be set to Kp = 25, Ti = 0.1, and Td = 0 with a system response consisting of Rise Time = 396 seconds, no Overshoot, Settling Time = 430 seconds, and Steady state error = 0.566 cm. For the system response with SP = 150 with a DV = 50% disturbance, the PID parameters should be set to Kp = 25, Ti = 0.1, and Td = 0 with a system response consisting of Rise Time = 382 seconds, no Overshoot, Settling Time = 462 seconds, and Steady state error = 1.469 cm.

Security and stability in a network service is a top priority for a network administrator. The slightest security vulnerability can make a very big threat in the stability of network services. The rise of cybercrime that intercepts access to a network service by performing ARP spoofing to imitate a client who has the right to access the network, with this happening it can be detrimental and disrupt network services. The application of MAC Address filtering to access network services is able to minimize the occurrence of cybercrime in the network. The filtering technique used is by registering the MAC address of each network service user who will connect to the network. This technique is able to recap the MAC Address on each device in the MAC Address table and is able to block access to clients whose MAC addresses are not registered. The test results obtained for the comparison of MAC Address filtering security using Dynamic with sticky MAC addresses are that the implementation of port security static sticky is considered better than the implementation of dynamic port security, where if there is a new client trying to access the network and the client's mac address is not registered then the client absolutely does not get access to network services.

El libro que se presenta a continuación tiene por finalidad caracterizar tres especies importantes de la amazonia peruana, como lo son la Quillosisa, Tangarana y heliconias y bromelias respectivamente; desde su origen, composición, uso, principales métodos para su conservación, al igual que sus métodos de tratamiento y sobre todo como estos se conocen en el contexto mundial. El Perú, al ser un país muy diversificado en su flora, es de vital importancia la descripción de estos elementos principalmente por su representatividad dentro del contexto nacional; además, la ausencia de una publicación en la que se haga énfasis tres elementos principales aun es mínima. En conclusión, del análisis de la información presentada se evidencia que el país, alberga una diversidad de flora que enriquece los recursos naturales y en su defecto tiene que ser constantemente presentado al mundo, hoy más que nunca que se busca la preservación de los recursos naturales; recae en nuestras generaciones la divulgación e investigación más minuciosa para documentar cada una de nuestras especies naturales en la amazonia peruana, buscando de esta manera concientizar su conservación a nivel mundial.
