Legal Analysis of The Determination of Corruption Suspects Land Compensation For The Construction of The Padang Toll Road
Authors: Rahmardiko Tegha Arjuharrido , Rifai Anis , Lutfi Anas
Published: January 2024

This paper intends to examine and analyse the determination of suspects by the high prosecutor's office in the land acquisition corruption case in the Padang - Sicincin Toll Road construction project. Research using a normative juridical approach reveals that legal instruments fail to show justice, where the determination of the suspect in this case is detrimental to the people. Therefore, according to the author, it is necessary to re-analyze the procedure for naming suspects by law enforcement officials so that legal certainty can be found and the decision to designate suspects does not harm the people. The results of this study showed that there are no definite legal provisions on how the prosecutor's office can determine a suspect. Choosing the suspect so far is still in a grey area because there are no explicit provisions regarding "preliminary evidence" to determine the suspect. On the other hand, the panel of judges, in their considerations, decided that the subsidiary charges were not proven and had not been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act. On the other hand, the panel of judges, in their considerations, decided that the subsidiary charges were not proven and had not been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing a criminal act.

Taxpayer Objection Efforts in Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) Dispute (Case Study At the Regional Revenue Agency of Madiun City)
Authors: Yuliatama A Andyka , Azhari Aidul Fitriciada , Enggarani Nuria Siswi
Published: January 2024

The Madiun City Government is facing problems in resolving tax issues, which can be resolved through standard tax objection resolution. The legal basis used is Law No. 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Levies. BAPENDA Madiun City has the authority to manage land and building taxes based on these regulations. This research aims to determine legal efforts in filing objections to resolving tax disputes in the PBB-P2 field and the obstacles taxpayers face in making legal objections. The research method used is the normative legal research method. The research results state that taxpayers who feel that the NJOP value determined by Bapenda is not by the condition of their property can submit an appeal to the Tax Court Agency. The process begins with submitting an objection letter to Bapenda within a certain period after sending the tax notification. If the objection is not accepted, the taxpayer can appeal to the Tax Court Agency. However, in the case at the Madiun City Bapenda, the request for an objection to the NJOP value of land and buildings was not granted. There are several obstacles to legal action for taxpayers' objections to resolving tax disputes in the urban PBB sector in Madiun City, such as legal uncertainty and limitations of law enforcement agencies. Legal reform, increasing the capacity of law enforcement agencies, and increasing awareness of tax law among the public are needed to overcome this.

Authors: Wywiał Janusz L.
Published: January 2024

Estimation of the population average in a finite population by means of sampling strategies dependent on an auxiliary variable highly correlated with a variable under study is considered. The sample is drawn with replacement on the basis of the probability distribution of an order statistic of the auxiliary variable. Observations of the variable under study are the values of the concomitant of the order statistic. The mean of the concomitant values is the estimator of a population mean of the variable under study. The expected value and the variance of the estimator are derived. The limit distributions of the considered estimators were considered. Finally, on the basis of simulation analysis, the accuracy of the estimator is considered.

Authors: Wierzbicka Anna
Published: January 2024

As an international organization the European Union pursues a range of purposes including improvement of public health, prevention of human illness and diseases as well as elimination of the sources of danger to physical and mental health. To enable effective health policies supporting actions of the member states, the data and materials which are fundamental to public health assessments are collected at the Community level. They underpin a variety of analyses necessary to evaluate changes in medical systems and determine the degree of similarity between the EU member states. This article analyses public health in Poland in relation to selected European countries. The study is based on the medical, economic and social indicators available from the EUROSTAT database. The taxonomic methods used in the study allowed ranking the sampled countries and identifying those with the highest level of public health. A more detailed assessment was based on the general presentation of health care systems in each country. In addition to Poland, the other post-socialist countries in the sample are Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Importantly, the study covers the years 2004-2009, after most of the countries joined the European Union. The reason why other former Eastern bloc countries were omitted from the study was the unavailability of appropriate data in the EUROSTAT database. The paper discusses a group of developed European countries too. However, because the complicated historical past of the post-socialist countries and the socio-economic difficulties that result from it make their analysis more interesting from a comparative point of view, they are the primary group explored in this article. This article is divided into theoretical and empirical section. It begins with a short introduction. Part two presents the concept of health and public health. The third part describes key factors differentiating health systems. It briefly presents the main healthcare models, that is: the Bismarck’s, Beveridge’s, Siemaszko’s and the residual model. The fourth section refers to a grouping method based on Hellwig’s taxonomic measure of development. Part five with its scope includes a comparative analysis of public health status of selected European countries. The sixth part presents major determinants of cluster formation. The paper ends with a conclusion that summarizes the obtained results.

Published: January 2024

The evolution of illegal refining was briefly discussed leading to an experimental research of its effects on cassava plant which is a major staple food in the region. Two deactivated illegal refinery sites were selected for the studies; cassava plant (tubers, stem and leaves) samples were taken from these sites with a control and then analyzed for the concentrations of Heavy Metals, BTEX, PAHs and THC. The results show that the mean concentration of heavy metals in cassava tuber were Pb (5.31±0.17 mg/kg), Cd (6.44±0.23mg/kg), Cr (5.25±0.02 mg/kg), As (9.27±0.04 mg/kg), Zn (5.30±0.17 mg/kg), Cu (4.17±0.06 mg/kg), Ni (13.52±0.01 mg/kg) and Co (40.66±0.00) (mg/kg) for site A; while site B has Pb (0.15±0.03 mg/kg), Cd (0.107±0.06 mg/kg), Cr (0.167±0.03 mg/kg), As (1.83±0.02 mg/kg), Zn (0.063±0.02 mg/kg), Cu (0.079±0.04 mg/kg), Ni (0.113±0.01 mg/kg) and Co (0.082±0.05 mg/kg). The mean concentration values of heavy metals in cassava tuber were higher than the control mean values. Plant Concentration Factor was also calculated from the studies. Result also showed higher mean concentration values of BTEX and PAHs for cassava plant (tuber, stem and leaves) when compared with control values and WHO permissible limits for plants. The overall result indicates the contamination and pollution of cassava plant from both studied sites due to illegal petroleum crude oil refining activities.
An Application of Syntactic Semantic Analysis in English and Arabic Translation
Authors: Al-Mogarry Hamed Shoay Saleh
Published: January 2024

This paper aims at studying certain syntactic and semantic aspects in English and Arabic. It specifically applies the syntactic method of Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG) and the semantic model thematic roles in certain English sentences and their Arabic translation from a linguistic point of view. It provides a theoretical background of TGG and thematic roles as the basic framework of the analysis applied in this study. The data includes selected English sentences from three different short stories along with their Arabic equivalents. The co-analysis of the English sentences and their Arabic translations is based syntactically on Chomsky's TGG (1965) and semantically on Fillmore's thematic roles (1977). The results of the study shows that syntax and semantics within these two languages make some kind of interface. This emphasizes the idea of linguistic universals advocated by Chomsky. The application of co-analysis indicates that the syntactic and semantic aspects can be relatively similar in English and Arabic particularly in terms of the type of the noun phrases in the deep and surface structures and semantic roles.
The study concludes that translation is a practical field where the feasibility and utility of  linguistic theories and ideas can be tested, and that integration and application of more than one approach in translation such as TGG analysis and semantic roles can help in producing more appropriate translations. However, it should be stated that syntax semantics interface and its overlapping can't be solely used in translation studies.

Published: January 2024

This study carried out an empirical valuation of the impact of financial intermediation on Agro-Industrialisation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The objectives of the study were to examine the influence of financial intermediation on agricultural output, to ascertain if financial intermediation moderates a relationship between agricultural output and industrialisation and to investigate whether financial intermediation granger causes Agro-Industrialisation in SSA. The dependent variable used was industrial output (IND), while the independent variables were agricultural output (AGR), financial intermediation (FIN), exchange rate (EXR), population growth rate (POP) and inflation rate (INF). The Data (covering 2005 to 2019) for eighteen selected countries in SSA were sourced from the World Development Indicators database and analysed using panel ordinary least squares (POLS) regression method, Wald test and Granger causality test to achieve the research objectives. The regression result showed that the moderating effect of financial intermediation on agriculture has a positive significant impact on industrial output. Also, it was discovered that financial intermediation significantly influences industrial output. Based on the verdicts, this study recommends that the governments of SSA countries enhance financial intermediation in agricultural activities through financial inclusion and deepening so that farmers can enjoy greater financial support thus enabling the development of the agricultural sector which in turn leads to the development of agro-industry in SSA.

Retención Del Iva Del Consumo De Combustible De Los Vehículos Del Gad De Portoviejo, 2022-2023
Authors: Mendoza Briones Joanna Magdalena , Galarza Santana Luz del Carmen
Published: January 2024

El Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) se constituye en uno de los tributos de mayor transcendencia para el estado ecuatoriano, y los contribuyentes o sujetos pasivos son aquellas personas que adquieren bienes o servicios. Para el caso de los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados (GAD), el IVA generado en compra de combustible tiene que ser retenido en el 100%, y en este sentido el objetivo de esta investigación fue, “Analizar el proceso de retención del IVA del consumo de combustible de los vehículos del GAD de Portoviejo”. En miras de cumplir con este objetivo se desarrolló un estudio no experimental de índole cuali-cuantitativo, y de donde se derivaron investigaciones descriptivas, transversal y de campo. Los resultados se enfocaron al análisis de efectos sobre la simplificación administrativa del impuesto, la liquidez institucional y el control tributario. Se concluyó que, los continuos retrasos en la devolución del IVA del gobierno central a los GAD municipales provoca momentos de iliquidez para estas entidades seccionales. A partir de lo anterior, es significante que las retenciones de este impuesto por concepto de compra de combustible se retengan en 100%, dado que no son transferidos a la cuenta del gobierno central, lo que trae consigo cumplimiento de principios tributarios como la simplificación administrativa.

Explorando el exposoma. Un enfoque integral en los cuidados de enfermería para la promoción de la salud
Authors: Andrés Gasco Miguel Ángel
Published: January 2024

En el campo de la salud, el enfoque sobre los factores que influyen en el bienestar ha evolucionado, y el exposoma ha emergido como un concepto clave. Este concepto abarca todas las exposiciones ambientales a lo largo de la vida de una persona, y su influencia en la salud es tan significativa como los factores genéticos y de riesgo convencionales. Los profesionales de enfermería reconocen la importancia de no limitarse solo a tratar enfermedades específicas, sino de considerar integralmente las experiencias de vida de cada individuo.
El artículo se enfoca en la relación entre el exposoma y la enfermería, buscando entender cómo las exposiciones ambientales afectan la salud y cómo los enfermeros pueden aplicar este conocimiento en su práctica. Sin embargo, la revisión bibliográfica realizada revela una escasez de estudios que aborden directamente esta intersección. Esta falta de investigación resalta la urgencia de estudios más detallados sobre cómo la enfermería puede impactar en la mitigación de riesgos ambientales y promover la salud.
Se sugiere una revisión exhaustiva de los criterios de inclusión y una ampliación de las estrategias de búsqueda para abarcar estudios relevantes. La ausencia de evidencia identificada subraya la necesidad de futuras investigaciones que documenten el papel directo de la enfermería en la gestión de exposiciones ambientales, proporcionando orientación crucial para mejorar la atención y prevenir enfermedades asociadas con alteraciones del exposoma humano.

Introducción. El “estándar de oro” para las quemaduras son los aloinjertos. En este estudio se analiza dicha técnica durante 10 años en el Hospital La Paz.

Objetivos. Estudiar la variación interanual de la superficie de piel donada, injertada y desechada. Analizar la relación entre la superficie corporal quemada (SCQ) con los cm2 de piel injertados, con la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y con el resultado de alta o fallecimiento de los receptores. Estudiar la abundancia y porcentaje de los mecanismos lesionales y la tasa de contaminación por microorganismos.

Material y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo de 143 donantes cadavéricos y 62 receptores de piel de cadáver desde el año 2011 hasta marzo de 2021, en el Hospital La Paz.

Resultados/Discusión. La superficie de la piel donada e injertada aumentó significativamente hasta 2017 y disminuyó a partir de dicho año. La SCQ se correlacionó significativamente con la superficie de piel injertada, la duración de la estancia hospitalaria y fue significativamente mayor en los receptores que fallecieron. Los mecanismos lesionales más habituales fueron los producidos por llama en espacio cerrado. En cuanto a la contaminación por microorganismos, ésta fue mayor en la etapa de implantación que en la de procesamiento (10,32% vs 6,4%).

Despite surgical and anesthetic advances, many studies show complications after major gastrointestinal surgery in a subset of patients. Studies have also shown that the main focus must be developing new therapies for postoperative benefit. Studies have shown interest in the FTS pathway but need to be more precise. Our literature review shows that very little FTS pathway data is available from India. Thus, we investigated FTS use in our study. We performed 70 elective abdominal surgical procedures. Comorbidities and other variables that may affect surgery were assessed for patients. Each individual learned about FTS and its benefits. After counseling, written informed consent was obtained. Each individual received an appropriate workout program and behavior change strategy. We found that FTS reduced postoperative ileus and NG tube usage. Hence, FTS is superior to traditional surgery when utilized appropriately during surgery.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrine disorder in women. Caspase-1 is implicated in several important inflammatory diseases and controls adipocyte differentiation and insulin sensitivity. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine and plays an important role in chronic inflammatory conditions. This study was planned to investigate the association between insulin resistance in (PCOS) and serum levels of caspase-1, IL-10, and IL-18. Methods: Fifty women with PCOS and forty healthy controls were evaluated in this controlled clinical study. Caspase-1 and IL-18, IL-10 levels, serum lipid sub-fractions, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and other hormone levels were measured. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) was used to estimate insulin resistance. Results: Regarding levels of obesity, the BMI of patients and controls was significantly different . The tests of insulin, fasting glucose, HOMA, testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, LH, estradiol, SHBG, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and VLDL all showed statistically significant changes. Research participants' serum FSH levels were greater than controls, but this difference was statistically insignificant. There was a highly significant difference in IL 10 and IL 18 levels. Additionally, PCOS patients had considerably greater Caspase-1 levels than controls. A significant positive link between age and caspase-1 , a significant positive relationship between BMI and IL-18 , and a significant positive relationship between IL-10 and VLDL levels . Conclusion: There was an association between caspas-1, IL-10, IL-18 and polycystic ovary syndrome-related insulin resistance. Many recent proteins and interleukins are now considered potential new markers of insulin resistance in diagnostic and therapeutic polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background: Tobacco happens to be as old as human civilization since the cultivation of tobacco plants, nicotiana rustica, and nicotiana tabacum, dates back to 8000 years before the American Indians spread that. Smoking tobacco discloses the consumer to more than 7000 chemicals, of which almost 250 and nearly 69 chemicals were proven to be harmful and carcinogenic correspondingly. A particular tribal community is called Narikuravars, which is partially a nomadic group that was present across the borders and has been interpreted with low educational levels, low socio-economic status, and a dearth of pertinent access to health care. Aim: To assess the attitudes towards smoking and quitting among smokers in tribal gypsies population dwelling from Chennai. Materials and methods: An in-depth interview for 15 current smokers and a focus group discussion of 15 current smokers were conducted with a guide and moderator, which was audio recorded. About 9, 13, and 68 subjects from primary, middle, and high school literates participated in the study. Their tobacco consumption and dependence using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence scale (FTNDS) was assessed. Results: High nicotine dependency was observed among 80% of middle school and 62% of primary school literates. Similarly, a Low dependency rate was observed among primary and high school literate with a rate of 40% and 20%, respectively. All the participants were aware of the health effects of tobacco, which affects the lungs and causes cancer. Some of them have had their relatives and known people who had suffered from cancer due to smoking. However, they had no knowledge or idea about COTPA. Conclusion: An interdisciplinary approach is required to prevent tobacco usage along with the government's support by introducing new schemes and programs and creating awareness about the ill effects of tobacco usage. Hence, tribal gypsy people should be educated about the consequences of smoking, and multiple cessation programs are to be conducted for the betterment of their lifestyle.
