Authors: Elsiddeg Elaf Omer Ahmed , Dafalla Mohamed Salih , Ibrahim Muzmmel Mustafa Mohammed , Eltigani Balsm Ahmed
Published: November 2017

Soil moisture is the key factor that controls plant biological processes and indicates the environmental status.  Recently, the application of remote sensing techniques in soil moisture monitoring has been widely used. In this study soil moisture was monitored during pre-autumn in March, autumn in September and post-autumn in December (2002), in order to identify the signature of different types of moist soils, which can be useful to interpret images. Supervised classification technique was adopted to determine the dominant land use/land cover classes in the area so that they can be vital indicators for the area and its suitability for many life styles. Monitoring moisture statuses can be used for general evaluation of land suitability for agriculture. The assessment of moisture statuses was performed in landsat ETM+ images using band 5 (MIR) as it is known as a sensitive band for moisture status and band 6 (Thermal) as a sensitive band to temperature variation as indicator of moisture status. The study revealed that band 5 and band 6 can be used to monitor soil moisture status during the different seasons in semi-arid areas, however, band 6 is less sensitive to variations in moisture. Therefore, this study recommends the use of Band 5 for monitoring soil moisture in semi-arid regions, and does not recommend the use of band 6 alone but with some supporting bands.

Published: November 2017

Objective: To reveal whether adolescent mothers are at higher risk of poor fetal and maternal outcomes compared with non-adolescent mothers.Study Design: 426 nulliparous women having a single pregnancy and gave birth with a birth-weight >500g or >24 weeks’ gestation were included. Participants were divided into three groups. 1. Group consisted of adolescents between ages of 16-17(n=56), 2. Group 18-19 ages(n=185) and 3. Group 20-24 ages(n=185). Adverse maternal and fetal outcomes compared among groups.Results: The mean maternal age was 16.6(±0.40), 18.1(±0.55), 22.6(±0.60) in groups, respectively. Antenatal visits number, smoking status, vaginal delivery, emergency cesarean delivery rates (fetal distress or cephalopelvic disproportion), perineal infection, postpartum hemorrhage, transfusion requirement, maternal death were not statistically significant among groups (p=0.871, p=0.935, p=0.450, p=0.961, p=0.737, p=0.112, p=0.996, p=0.859 and p=1, respectively). Induction of labour, delivery<37 weeks, low birth weight (<2500g), admission to NICU, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, severe neonatal conditions, respiratory distress syndrome, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, neonatal death rates were not statistically significant among groups (p=0.187, p=0.560, p=0.408, p=0.347, p=0.901, p=0.605, p=1, p=1 and p=1, respectively).Conclusions: The data from the present study indicates that when the adolescent period is grouped not as a whole but within itself, especially low gynecological age is associated with increased adverse fetal outcomes, and it does not carry any risk for the mother. Pregnancy in adolescents aged 18-19 years does not constitute a risk for both mother and child. If it is thought that an adolescent pregnant woman can not give birth vaginally, the cesarean ratio will increase unnecessarily. Hence maternal age should not be a criterion singly for cesarean delivery.
Nonparametric quantile mapping using the response surface method – bias correction of daily precipitation
Authors: Bong Taeho , Son Young-Hwan , Yoo Seung-Hwan , Hwang Sye-Woon
Published: November 2017

Currently, regional climate models are widely used to provide projections of how climate may change locally. However, they sometimes have a spatial resolution that is too coarse to provide an appropriate resolution for the local scale. In this paper, a new nonparametric quantile mapping method based on the response surface method was proposed to perform an efficient and robust bias correction. The proposed method was applied to correct the bias of the simulated precipitation for the period of 1976–2005, and the performance and uncertainty were subsequently assessed. As a result, the proposed method was effectively able to reduce the biases of the entire distribution range, and to predict new extreme precipitation. The future precipitation based on representative concentration pathways of RCP 4.5 and 8.5 were bias corrected using the proposed method, and the impacts of the climate scenarios were compared. It was found that the average annual precipitations increased compared to the past for both scenarios, and they tended to increase over time in the three studied areas. The uncertainty of future precipitation was slightly higher than in the past observation period.

Published: November 2017

Good discourse has a coherence that binds statements involved in it based on logical thinking. In a coherent discourse, the reader finds the order thoughts which is clearly the tip of the base as a form of the regular mode of thinking of the author. Coherence is the final character of writing that reflects the perfection of the author in controlling his or her way of thinking in order to realize a discourse. Coherence in discourse can be seen primarily as the sentences involved in it are intertwined each other and the ideas flow smoothly. One sentence relation to another sentence or the smooth movement of ideas in discourse is formed by the use of certain language elements as a grammatical form that embodies the cohesiveness of a discourse. The language elements, in this case, are transitional words/phrases, pronouns, and repetitions of keywords. The use of these elements is quite important in constructing sentences that mesh and flow logically in a discourse. It also happens between a paragraph one and another paragraph in a discourse, the elements of language is a bridge that is vital for the transition of thoughts or ideas in a writer's writings.

Published: November 2017

Urbanization is a process that creates many opportunities as well as threats. It is a process that will keep on continuing as population rate, migration, economic and social pattern are changing. Along with urbanization, demand for sustainable development and public space is crucial. Streets are important public space in a city. It is a network for many kind of activities. Design of streets affects the way people use it as well as their perception on safety. As a public space, safety is an important factor to consider. A safe public space will create a liveable environment. Feeling safe is important for human being due to the fact the built environment does affect our perception. Gender plays a role in safety perception where women perceive their environment differently. This study focuses on the importance of street as public space in contributing towards safety perception. In order to evaluate the phenomenon, a mixed method approach was adopted. Four streets in the city centre which are important public space with trading activities, connected to educational institution, offices and other economic activities were chosen. 120 questionnaire were distributed and direct observation were conducted in order to evaluate the phenomenon. Findings revealed that physical elements in the street do affect safety perception.

Published: November 2017

The current practise of the Islamic banks to rely on market interest rate as pricing benchmark for their home financing products has been a subject of intense debate among many parties. Muslim scholars have warned that it is highly discouraged as it could lead to a possible convergence between the practices of the Islamic and conventional banks. This paper intends to address the financing issues in the discussion of human settlement or housing policy by presenting the determinants for house price index as well as looking into the possibility of adopting the House Price Index (HPI) to replace the market interest rate as a pricing benchmark for the Islamic home financing. The study applies Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method on a model comprising HPI as the dependent variable and a set of independent variables consisting of economic, housing demand and housing supply factors. The findings lead to the formulation of recommendations as a way forward for the Islamic banking industry in particular, and the economy in general. This will require a paradigm shift from basic financing products to a more holistic approach which integrates supply of housing factors, as well as urban planning and urban finance, with human rights and recognizes the need to place and shelter people.

ON THE ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF TOURISM PRODUCTS WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFETY TOURISM IN THE BAIKAL REGION
Authors: Саранча Михаил , Sarancha Mikhail
Published: November 2017

Assessing the quality of tourism product and services is a topical issue in science and practice. It takes a special role in regions with a unique and valuable nature (such as the Baikal natural territory), which requires careful and environmental friendly treatment. With all the variety of research experiences and practices on the subject, we can observe a set of problematic issues, such as the need to take specifics of tourism into account, insufficient attention to the peculiarities of the territory of application, etc. The article is aimed at development of methods for assessing the quality of tourism products within environment friendly tourism in the Baikal region. Modeling, comparative, estimation, sociological, mathematical, and statistical are the main methods of research. The author uses the systematic, complex, ecological, geographical and situational approaches. The methodology for assessing the quality of tourism products is proposed to be connected not only with customer satisfaction, but also with ecological, satisfaction of partners, society, producers and their personnel. Assessing from the consumer standpoint is accomplished by the following groups of criteria: purpose, reliability, safety, professionalism of personnel and economic. The author suggests the ways of obtaining initial estimates. The form of the issues presentation ensures their ergonomics. Estimation scales of the methodology take into account not only the perceived quality of the tourism product by individual criteria, but also their relevance to the subject of the assessment. The procedures of calculation of an integrated indicator of assessment is the weighted average. The combination of structured and comprehensive system of estimation criteria with the possibility of assessment in relation to a single database, makes it possible to create an unified system for assessing the quality of tourism products at the regional level.
The human leukocyte antigen system and transplantation immunology
Authors: Vojvodic Svetlana
Published: November 2017

Introduction. The antigens primarily responsible for the rejection of
genetically different tissues are known as histocompatibility (i.e. tissue
compatibility) antigens and the genes coding for these antigens are referred
to as histocompatibility genes. History. The groundwork for the new science
of transplantation immunology was laid by Medawar in the 1940s who described
the rejection of tissue transferred from one person or animal to another,
except for grafts between identical twins. In the 1950s, it was shown that
this tissue rejection was mediated by major histocompatibility complex group
of antigens which cause a strong immune response and are in humans known as
human leucocyte antigens. Polymorphism and inheritance of human leucocyte
antigens. According to the most recent human leucocyte antigens nomenclature,
there are currently 17,344 human leucocyte antigens and related alleles, of
which 12,544 are I human leucocyte antigens class alleles, 4,622 are II human
leucocyte antigens class alleles and 178 other non-human leucocyte antigens
alleles. Due to close location at the short arm of the sixth chromosome, the
genes of the human leucocyte antigens system are inherited as haplotypes or
alleles pairs. Biological role. The primary role of the human leucocyte
antigens molecule is to present a peptide to the T-cells which recognize both
the human leucocyte antigens molecule and the presented peptide,
distinguishing the own peptides from the foreign. The ability to allow an
immune response which is directed against the ?foreign?, makes human
leucocyte antigens antigens the main immunological barrier in the
transplantation. Conclusion. The immunobiology of transplantation is
important for many reasons: in terms of both its impact on our understanding
of immunological processes and its application in the development of clinical
transplantation. Advances in immunogenetics and histocompatibility have
facilitated the clinical transplantation of solid organs and tissues.
The role of prognostic factors in overall survival in patients with Bence-Jones multiple myeloma - our experience
Authors: Zivanovic-Ivic Andjelina , Atanaskovic Lavinika , Elez Marija , Radic-Tasic Olga , Balint Bela , Stamatovic Dragana
Published: November 2017

Introduction. Bence-Jones myeloma multiplex is a progressive disease
characterized by excessive numbers of abnormal plasma cells in the bone
marrow and overproduction of incomplete immunoglobulins, containing only the
light chain portion of the immunoglobulins. This type of myeloma occurs
15-20%. The median overall survival is approximately 4 years. Aim of this
study was to define prognostic factors affecting overall survival in
Bence-Jones multiple myeloma patients. Material and Methods. From 1995 to
2015, we treated 75 patients (49 men and 26 female), average age 55.9 years
(range 31-85). Results. Conventional chemotherapy introductory clinical
response was achieved in 54 patients (72%), while in 21 patients (28%) the
established disease was resistant. Transplantation was done in 45 patients
(60%), while 30 patients (40%) were treated with conventional chemotherapy.
In the group of patients with transplantation done, tandem was carried out in
11 patients and secondary stem cell transplantation was done in 5 relapsed
patients. With 1 patient with tandem stem cell transplantation allogenic
(singen) stem cell transplantation was done. Transplant related mortality is
1.5%. The transplanted patients had significantly longer PFS (mediana 13
months vs 7 months, p<0,05) and longer overal survival (mediana 55 months vs
26 months, p<0,001). Univariate log regression analysis showed that
non-transplant patients are 5,1 times more likely to terminate lethal
compared to transplant patients (RR 5,1; 95% C.I.43,47-2,52), p<0,001).
Conclusion. Our study showed autologous stem cell transplantation is a more
effective method of treatment of patients with Bence-Jones myeloma compared
to the conventional chemotherapy.

Published: November 2017

Introduction. Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation is only potentially
curative therapy for variety of hematology malignancies, such as acute and
chronic leukemia, myelodisplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia, but also
promising treatment option for other disorders. If we know that only 25% of
patients have an human leukocyte antigen identical sibling donor, it is
obvious that matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
is an alternative for the rest of the patients. Material and Methods. Since
2013, matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has
been performed routinely in the Military Medical Academy. Results. We hereby
present the outcome after 77 procedures in 75 patients. Considering primary
diseases, 35 patients had acute myeloid leukemia, 25 patients had acute
lymphoid leukemia, 5 patients had chronic myeloid leukemia, 9 patients had
myelodisplastic syndrome and we performed the transplant on 1 patient with
chronic lymphocyte leukemia, 1 patient with aplastic anemia and 1 patient
with T lymphoblastic lymphoma. Conclusion. It is difficult to make clear
conclusions based on this heterogeneous group of patients, but it seems that
these results are encouraging. Future research will be performed to evaluate
matched unrelated donor and identical sibling hematopoietic stem cell
transplantation in the homogenous groups with respect to primary diseases.
La iniciativa comunitaria Urban como ejemplo de intervención integral en barrios periféricos con dificultades. Una lectura a partir del caso de Clichy-Sous-Bois/Montfermeil (Île-de-France)
Authors: Gutiérrez Palomero Aaron
Published: November 2017

La Iniciativa Comunitaria URBAN ha sido el principal instrumento operativo para la regeneración urbana en el marco de la política regional de la Unión Europea durante los periodos 1994-1999 y 2000-2006. El programa ha recogido como objetivos generales la necesidad de hacer frente a la degradación de la calidad de vida en determinados espacios de las ciudades y actuar en favor de la redinamización socioeconómica y ambiental de las áreas urbanas con dificultades. La actuación en Clichy-sous-Bois y Montfermeil (Île-de-France, Francia) se utilizará como ejemplo ilustrativo del tipo de intervenciones implementadas y los impactos alcanzados por la IC URBAN. La apuesta por una perspectiva integral de las operaciones de regeneración urbana y el acento de la dimensión social de las actuaciones implementadas son dos de los ejes clave del modelo de intervención desarrollado.
El comportamiento de los Centros Históricos en el marco de las dinámicas demográficas e inmobiliarias de alcance territorial. El caso de las ciudades de Castilla
Authors: Álvarez Mora Alfonso
Published: November 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo es caracterizar a los Conjuntos Históricos desde las vinculaciones que se establecen entre dinámicas inmobiliarias y demográficas, partiendo de la hipótesis de que dichas dinámicas son consecuencia, o derivaciones más o menos directas, del contexto territorial que acoge a los núcleos urbanos que los contienen. Estamos adoptando, por tanto, como campo de análisis, un ámbito concreto de la ciudad, aquel que ha adquirido su caracterización como Conjunto Histórico, considerando que, del comportamiento de dicho ámbito, pueden derivarse consecuencias muy concretas que van a afectar a la dinámica de la ciudad en su conjunto. Para ello, vamos a tomar como referencia al territorio castellano, seleccionando, para su estudio, aquellos núcleos urbanos que contienen conjuntos históricos declarados como Bienes de Interés Cultural.
It from bit? [Otra] lección del Nikolaiviertel
Authors: Ruiz Sánchez Javier
Published: November 2017

La actividad urbanística en Berlín oriental antes de la caída del muro es a menudo despachada como exenta de interés. Incluso una actuación tan singular como la reconstrucción del Nikolaiviertel es a menudo ignorada, o banalizada, probablemente debido a su lenguaje neohistoricista tanto como a su conversión como foco turístico en los últimos años. Ello contrasta con la atención prestada a otras actuaciones llevadas a cabo tras la reunificación. El presente artículo reivindica esta actuación, por lo que tiene de indagación sobre los mecanismos de construcción de complejidad urbana y entendimiento de la ciudad como objeto histórico en evolución. Quizá banal en una aproximación como proyecto, no lo es en absoluto como proceso.
El paisaje urbano histórico de la “Ciudad Vieja” de Salamanca, claves para un Plan de Gestión
Authors: De las Rivas Sanz Juan Luis , Vázquez Justel Gregorio
Published: November 2017

El Plan de Gestión de la Ciudad Vieja de Salamanca, encargado por la Junta de Castilla y León, responde a las recientes directivas de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura –UNESCO- que buscan introducir nuevas herramientas de gestión adaptadas a las condiciones singulares de cada caso. Sin embargo la experiencia sobre estos planes es casi inexistente. En este contexto el plan orienta su objetivo principal, proteger y poner en valor con eficacia el “valor universal excepcional” que justifica la inclusión de Salamanca en la lista de Patrimonio Mundial, con un desarrollo novedoso del concepto de “paisaje urbano histórico”, enfocado desde tres perspectivas: el territorio, el paisaje interior de la ciudad y el paisaje intangible. Este escrito enuncia los contenidos principales de dicho documento en proceso de aprobación y que incluye la revisión del Plan Especial del Conjunto Histórico. Pero, sobre todo, se centra en mostrar un modelo abierto de comprensión espacial de los elementos que componen el patrimonio urbano, modelo que fundamenta y dirige los criterios de conservación activa aplicables.
Un proceso de la remodelación radical del espacio funcional y social, inducido por el nuevo régimen de acumulación. La destrucción de la memoria histórica y del patrimonio urbano
Authors: Sánchez del Real Cristina
Published: November 2017

El rescate de la cuestión del patrimonio de su habitual confinamiento en el campo de la cultura, donde se elabora con materiales ideológicos diversos que alteran y desvirtúan su naturaleza, para situarlo en la encrucijada de los fenómenos sociales y urbanos, se ha venido realizando según patrones propios de las ciudades europeas. Estos patrones que aspiran a generalizarse son de difícil aplicación en otras realidades. De ahí la importancia de confrontarlos con diversos procesos de transformación de la sociedad y de su sustrato material. En ese sentido, las transformaciones del centro de Guadalajara a mediados del siglo XX que suponen la eliminación casi total del patrimonio urbano de la ciudad, ofrecen un ejemplo bien diferente de remodelación radical del espacio funcional y social, inducido por el nuevo régimen de acumulación que se despliega en esas fechas y que permite reflexionar en otro contexto sobre el sentido, las alternativas y oportunidades de introducir la dimensión patrimonial en la evolución de la ciudad.
La ordenación del territorio en Portugal: El caso del área metropolitana de Lisboa
Authors: Arango Florentino Rui Filipe
Published: November 2017

La ordenación del territorio es una disciplina en construcción, que en Portugal no ha alcanzado todavía un grado de madurez. En este artículo se presenta una breve reflexión sobre los problemas que enfrenta esta disciplina, mediante el análisis del caso de la región capital. Después de una introducción al marco administrativo del país, que condiciona las prácticas de planeamiento, se resumen algunas dinámicas territoriales en curso e identifican cuestiones clave para mejorar la gobernanza del área metropolitana de Lisboa. Desde esta perspectiva, se defiende una mayor alianza entre las dimensiones técnicas y políticas de la ordenación del territorio, que no solamente requieren cambios institucionales, sino también avances en los procesos operativos de participación, estrategia y cooperación.
Nuevos enfoques en la planificación urbanística para proteger los espacios agrarios periurbanos
Authors: Simón Rojo Marian , Zazo Moratalla Ana , Morán Alonso Nerea
Published: November 2017

En Europa los espacios agrarios periurbanos sufren la mayor presión urbanizadora: entre 1990 y 2000, el 77% de los nuevos suelos artificiales ocuparon áreas agrarias. Al analizar la evolución de los objetivos de la ordenación territorial en la Unión Europea, se hace patente la poca importancia que se da a los sistemas agrarios. Esto no es consecuente con el discurso ambientalista, ni se enfrenta al escenario que se avecina de crisis energética, cambio global y agotamiento de recursos. Tampoco la Política Agraria Común contribuye a preservar los espacios agrarios periurbanos, que van a jugar un importante papel en la viabilidad futura de nuestras urbes. La creación de figuras adecuadas de protección, su reconsideración en los instrumentos de ordenación y la revalorización de la actividad agraria reducirían las expectativas urbanizadoras, frenando su transformación. El análisis de distintos casos europeos ofrece interesantes lecciones sobre cómo avanzar hacia esos objetivos.

¿Qué queda del territorio en la era de los flujos globales?
Authors: Jiménez Romera Carlos
Published: November 2017

La movilización de ingentes recursos energéticos y materiales ha permitido la integración económica de territorios remotos, previamente autónomos y relativamente autosuficientes. Los modelos tradicionales de análisis del territorio en función de los recursos locales han dejado de ser eficaces para describir la nueva realidad. En la actualidad los territorios han pasado a estar al servicio de un sistema-mundo global, renunciando a la complejidad interna y convirtiéndose en mero soporte infraestructural de los flujos globales. Frente a la incertidumbre que amenaza al propio sistema global, una estrategia defensiva debería centrarse en conservar los recursos locales que puedan dotar de cierta flexibilidad y autonomía a los territorios.
Viejas y nuevas centralidades en las ciudades medias andaluzas: Evolución y estrategias urbanas
Authors: Campos Sánchez Francisco Sergio , Abarca Álvarez Francisco Javier
Published: November 2017

Desde el último cuarto del siglo pasado, los tradicionales elementos de centralidad localizados en los centros históricos de las ciudades medias andaluzas, conviven con otros focos de atracción urbana bien distintos. Tiene lugar una diversidad múltiple de nuevas centralidades, cuya aparición y localización en la escena urbana y territorial se fundamenta en la cristalización de distintos factores. Por un lado, la incorporación de nuevas actividades y un mayor desarrollo y difusión de otras ya existentes, ha dado lugar a una nueva escala de la arquitectura en estas ciudades. Por otro lado, la sustitución de los usos tradicionales por otros de mayor direccionalidad produce una especialización del centro urbano. Igualmente, las infraestructuras, entendidas como elementos centrales que interactúan con la ciudad, tienden a estimular o estrangular el tejido urbano dependiendo de la idoneidad de su tipo y trazado. Este artículo persigue evidenciar las centralidades tradicionales y esclarecer los procesos que han dado lugar a las de mayor contemporaneidad, diferentes a las anteriores. Esbozar el futuro urbano de estas ciudades pasa por la reformulación de sus viejas y nuevas centralidades mediante la consideración de estrategias urbanas adecuadas.

Published: November 2017

According to the constitution, the state concept in constitutional practice can be divided into two opposite poles, namely welfare and liberal state. They have different characteristics in which the first concept (welfare state) requires a strong and extensive state functions to regulate an economic justice, on the contrary the second concept (liberal state) relies on the free market economy which state’s role should be marginalized. Sosio-legal research is used in this article. Based on the Article 33 of Indonesian post constitutional amendment of 1945, Indonesia embraced the concept of welfare state. Yet, the practice sociologically tends to embrace a liberal state that is not suitable with the welfare of the people. There are challenges, in the context of liberal state, faced by Indonesia, such as applying the capitalist economic system. We may fight the capitalist economic system by two legal policy, namely: first one, we may re-create the role of state functions as a controller and regulator of the economy. The second one, we may increase the state income through taxes along with the higher social spending to achieve the social welfare and economic justice.Keywords: welfare state, the constitution of 1945, legal policy

Law is a set of words that are systematically linking an authoritative text, according to Gustav Radbruch, it should contain three (3) elements, namely fairness, certainty and expediency. The application of the authoritative text in social life was an absolute authority of a judge in resolving a civil case. The judge, in the checking-hearing-deciding a case, not only expected to return the case to the original state (restitutio in integrum) before the advent of the dispute, but should attempt made every effort to not create new disputes or disputes derived from the subject matter examined. Therefore, it becomes very important role of the paradigm for a judge in deciding the case in order to fulfill a sense of justice. Therefore, deciding the case in a precise sense of justice will be a judge most important role. Nowadays, the meaning of "justice" in Civil Procedure Code only limited to the authority of the power of the parties bound by the principle of consensualism and the principle of freedom of contract. Therefore, based on the Law Paradigm (Philosophy) of Pancasila, Judge as an interpreter, in defining and applying the law, legal science must have the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct an authoritative text based paradigm embraced by a nation.Keywords: the principle of consensualism, justice, pancasila, paradigm, civil procedural law
BUKTI ELEKTRONIK SEBAGAI ALAT BUKTI YANG SAH DALAM HUKUM ACARA PIDANA / ELECTRONIC EVIDENCE AS AN ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE IN CRIMINAL LAW
Authors: Ramiyanto NFN
Published: November 2017

KUHAP sebagai hukum acara pidana yang bersifat umum tidak mengakui bukti elektronik sebagai salah satu jenis alat bukti yang sah. Di dalam praktik, bukti elektronik juga digunakan sebagai alat bukti yang sah untuk membuktikan tindak pidana yang terjadi di pengadilan. Dari hasil pembahasan dapat disimpulkan, bahwa bukti elektronik dalam hukum acara pidana berstatus sebagai alat bukti yang berdiri sendiri dan alat bukti yang tidak berdiri sendiri (pengganti bukti surat apabila memenuhi prinsip/dasar dalam functional equivalent approach dan perluasan bukti petunjuk) sebagaimana dicantumkan dalam beberapa undang-undang khusus dan instrumen hukum yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Agung. Walaupun bukti elektronik tidak diatur dalam KUHAP sebagai lex generalis, namun untuk tercapainya kebenaran materiil dapat juga digunakan sebagai alat bukti yang sah untuk pembuktian seluruh jenis tindak pidana di pengadilan. Hal itu didasarkan pada pengakuan dalam praktik peradilan pidana, beberapa undang-undang khusus, dan instrumen yang dikeluarkan oleh Mahkamah Agung.The Criminal Procedure Code as a general criminal procedure does not recognize electronic evidence as one of the admissible types of evidence. In practice, electronic evidence is also used as an admissible evidence to prove the criminal offenses in court. From the results of the discussion it can be concluded that electronic evidence in criminal procedure law is a dependent evidence and an independent evidence (substitution of letter proof if it meets the principle of functional equivalent approach and expansion of evidence) as specified in several special laws and instruments issued by the Supreme Court. The electronic evidence is not regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code as a lex generalis, however, to achieve material truth it can also be used as a valid evidence for the provision of all types of criminal offenses in court. It is based on recognition in the practice of criminal justice, some special laws, and instruments issued by the Supreme Court.

In international trade activity, the law exists and becomes one of the important components to ensure the trading activity runs effectively, efficiently, and fair. Gradually, international trade system has started to embed environmental law issue to become its part of the system, and this process has begun since people realized that environment should be protected in order to support the sustainable development process. Currently, environmental law issue becomes an important condition for most of the international trade relations which are being done or will be done by subjects of the international trade. This paper focuses on how environmental law is being synergized within international trade system. The library research method will be used to explore that topic.Keywords: environmental law, international trade, international agreement

As organizações do Terceiro Setor enfrentam dificuldades para alcançar legitimação perante a sociedade e com isso não conseguem os recursos necessários para sua sobrevivência e dessa forma não é possível mensurar quais benefícios estão realmente entregando à população. Este artigo se propôs a mostrar a importância de legitimar as organizações do Terceiro Setor, especificamente o Tatame do Bem em Formiga - MG, e identificar quais os benefícios os responsáveis pelos alunos atendidos realmente percebem. Desta forma o artigo buscou compreender a falta de aceitação do esporte como atividade que gera benefícios sociais e propor estratégias para que os benefícios passem a ser reconhecidos pela comunidade e pessoas envolvidas no projeto.Palavras-chave: Terceiro Setor. Legitimidade social. Esporte. The benefits of jiu-jitsu legitimization in anorganization of the third sector: a case study in Tatame do BemABSTRACTOrganizations of the third sector are struggling to achieve legitimacy, and thus do not get the resources needed to survive and cannot even measure what benefits they are actually delivering to the population. This paper aimed to show the importance of legitimizing nonprofit organizations, specifically the "Tatame do Bem" in Formiga - MG and the benefits those responsible for the students served really realize. Thus the article tried to understand the lack of acceptance of the sport as an activity that generates social benefits and also to propose strategies to make the benefits start being recognized by the community and people involved in the project.Keywords: Third sector.

O uso de sistemas heterogêneos CPU-GPU para atender à crescente demanda por aplicações com grande paralelismo de dados resulta na necessidade de estudar e avaliar tais arquiteturas para melhorá-las continuamente. Neste artigo foram feitas simulações da execução de uma suíte de benchmark em uma GPU AMD ATI RadeonTM HD 7970, de modo a avaliar o impacto sobre o desempenho e o consumo energético quando alterado o número de Wavefront Pools presentes em cada compute unit da GPU, que é 4 por padrão. O resultado mais significante evidencia um aumento de velocidade de cerca de 5,7% para a configuração com duas Wavefront Pools em conjunto com um aumento no consumo de energia de cerca de 5,1%. Todavia, as outras configurações avaliadas também representam opções para diferentes tipos de necessidades, conforme a categoria de demanda computacional.Palavras-chave: Sistemas heterogêneos.

Desempenho.Performance evaluation and energy consumption for settings of Wavefront pools of a GPU AMDAbstractThe use of CPU-GPU heterogeneous systems to meet the growing demand for applications with large data parallelism results in the need to study and evaluate these architectures in order to improve them continuously. In this paper we made simulations of running a benchmark suite on an AMD GPU ATI RadeonTM HD 7970 in order to assess the impact on performance and power consumption when tuning the number of Wavefront Pools present in each GPU compute unit, which is 4 by default. The most significant result shows a speedup of about 5.7% for configuration with two Wavefront Pools in conjunction with an increase of about 5.1% in the energy consumption. However, the other evaluated configuration also represent options for different kinds of needs, according to   the  computational demand.Keyworks: Heterogeneous systems. Simulation. Performance.
