Problematika Izin Membuka Tanah Negara (IMTN) sebagai Dasar Penguasaan Tanah di Samarinda
Authors: Damanik Amsari
Published: June 2022

Terdapat beberapa cara untuk memperoleh tanah yang dapat dilakukan melalui dua cara, yaitu; 1) Originair atau perolehan hak dikarenakan adanya penetapan pemerintah, baik itu berupa konversi maupun pendaftaran tanah untuk yang pertama kalinya. Kedudukan tanah itu dapat diperoleh melalui permohonan hak; 2) Derivatif atau tanah yang diperoleh melalui perbuatan hukum tertentu seperti jual-beli, hibah, pewarisan, lelang maupun inbreng. Khusus di Kota Samarida, dengan lahirnya Peraturan Daerah Kota Samarinda Nomor 2 Tahun 2019 tentang Izin Membuka Tanah Negara mengakibatkan tanah Negara yang ada di Kota Samarinda menjadi dasar penguasaan terhadap tanah Negara. Akan Tetapi, peruntukan tanah dengan label Izin Membuka Tanah Negara (IMTN) rawan untuk disalahgunakan peruntukannya. Pada dasarnya, (Izin Membuka Tanah Negara) IMTN hanya sebagai dasar penguasaan tanah negara untuk mewujudkan kepastian hukum dan sebagai tindak lanjut dari peningkatan sertifikasi tanah. Adapun objek dari Izin Membuka Tanah Negara (IMTN) sendiri bukanlah diperuntukkan dalam rangka komersialisasi lahan. Izin Membuka Tanah Negara (IMTN) di Samarinda yang mana merupakan pelaksanaan terhadap Undang-Undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang Pemerintahan Daerah tersebut telah tertuang dalam Peraturan Daerah Kota Samarinda Nomor 2 Tahun 2019 dan Peraturan Walikota Nomor 61 Tahun 2019. Di dalam ketentuan peraturan daerah tersebut, terdapat larangan untuk mengalihkan tanah dengan IMTN yang dapat memberi dampak terhadap perbuatan jual beli yang dilakukan. Adanya diperlukan upaya dari para pihak, baik pemerintah daerah maupun stakeholder pemangku kepentingan, maupun masyarakat saling bahu membahu agar tidak terjadi konflik pertanahan yang bersifat horizontal.

Authors: Cahyani Firnanda Arifatul , Amelda Dia Aisa
Published: June 2022

Hukum waris adat sangat erat kaitannya dengan sistem kekerabatan yang dianut oleh suatu masyarakat adat. Masyarakat Adat Bali menganut sistem kekrabatan patrilineal dengan sistem kewarisan mayorat. Sehingga ahli waris dalam masyarakat hukum adat Bali ialah anak laki-laki saja, sedangkan anak perempuan tidak diperkenankan untuk mewaris. Untuk mendapatkan hak warisnya, seorang anak perempuan hindu Bali dapat memperolehnya dengan bentuk hibah atau hadiah perkawinan (jiwa dana), tetadan dan bebaktan. Selain itu dapat pula dilakukan perubahan status perempuan menjadi laki-laki (sentana rajeg).

Based on several studies, driving above certain speed at night while using low beam headlights has been found to result in insufficient visibility to respond to road hazards. Luckily, vehicle headlight technology has advanced so much and the system is commercially available in many parts of the world. However, the technical development for optimal photometric performance raises a few questions. The use of high beam headlight system creates a glare to drivers of oncoming and preceding vehicles (because of both oncoming headlights and preceding taillights), to the extent that it has become necessary to determine the need to put a limit on the luminous intensity of high-beam headlights. This study shall therefore summarize and investigate visual performance that allows for evaluation of the potential benefits of increased luminous intensity by considering glare rating related to safety. Two different car models; the Proton Prevé and the Perodua Myvi were used in the experiments. The results showed that the highest average illuminance [lux] for single vehicle was 17.5, 7.5, 5.0 and 1.0 for the distances of 30m, 60m, 120m and 150m. However, the average illuminance based on total number of vehicles was 1.0, 0.5, 0.0 and 0.0 at distances of 30m, 60m, 120m and 150m, which were considered below maximum recommended safety level (max. 9.0 – 11.0 lux). The current average vehicle high-beam headlight control was found at the level of acceptable glare control (glare to oncoming and preceding drivers) and below the maximum level of illuminance rate with the normal speed of 40 km/h.

Published: June 2022

The number of single vehicle and rollover accidents in Indonesia has reached approximately 10,000 (7%) per year. Such an accident is typically followed by a large number of fatality, especially in the case for SUVs and MPVs. In the US, motor vehicle rollovers involving passenger cars, pickup trucks, and sport utility vehicles result in around 10,000 deaths and 27,000 serious injuries each year. Although single vehicle and rollover accident in Indonesia accounts for less than 10% tow- away crashes involving light vehicles, it has recorded almost one-third of light-vehicle occupant fatalities. The aim of this research is to develop a method to predict rollover probability. One of the key geometrical parameters to describe the rollover risk of vehicles is Static Stability Factor (SSF) which can be correlated with rollover probability using NHTSA statistical data. SSF is defined as the vehicle half-track width divided by its center of gravity height. Since information pertaining to the location of centre of gravity is not publicly available, a method was developed to predict it by using published technical data which were validated using NHTSA database. It was then used to predict rollover probability data for MPVs and SUVs in Indonesia. The method can be a tool for manufacturers, consumers, and regulators to reduce the number of rollover accidents which in turn may reduce occupant fatalities. The result can also be a means to assess the trend of rollover accident risk in the ASEAN region and will be beneficial for ASEAN NCAP in determining SUVs and MPVs safety rating.

Published: June 2022

Vibration at the pedal-pad may contribute to the discomfort of the foot plantar fascia during driving. In this study, the experiment is conducted using a "five-time repeatability" test of the same procedure and shall determine root-mean-square vibration magnitude and vibration transmissibility on Z-axis or vertical vibration magnitude for the three different sizes of pedal-pad on tarmac and paved surface. ISO 2631-1:1997 is used for frequency-weighting (Wk) in one-third octave step with a range of frequency 0.5 Hz to 80 Hz in vertical vibration. The analysis is divided into two; frequency-weighted acceleration and frequency-weighted root- mean-square acceleration on vibration magnitude; and vibration transmissibility. The result shows that small pedal-pads at a resonance frequency of 4 Hz and 10 Hz give high value on frequency-weighted acceleration compared to medium and large sized pedal-pads. The frequency-weighted RMS acceleration on the tarmac and paved road surfaces show that small pedal-pad also give high value compared to medium and large sized pedal-pads. The International Roughness Index shows that paved road surfaces affect frequency-weighted RMS acceleration differently, which is higher compared with tarmac. The vibration transmissibility result shows that the percentage pedal-pad effective amplitude transmissibility value on paved road surfaces is more than 100% compared with the tarmac road surface on three sizes of pedal- pads. A comparison of frequency-weighted RMS acceleration of pedal- pads and car bodies for three different sizes of the pedal-pad also show that the paved road surface contributes more vibration to pedal-pads compared with the tarmac road surface. It can, therefore, be concluded that the size of the pedal-pads and the type of road surface can influence foot-transmitted vibration.

Published: June 2022

The Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) is a part of autonomous vehicle technologies and the technology was developed to reduce human errors that lead to a road accident. This survey investigates the priority factor influencing the public in acquiring vehicles with the AEB system. In this study, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework was used to determine the public’s rating of importance of the availability of the AEB system in their vehicles. Cronbach’s alpha was used to check for reliability of survey items. With a score of 0.8, it suggested that the items had relatively high internal consistency. The results show that the top factors that influence public interest in having vehicle with AEB are the reduction of the severity of injury and crashes.

Published: June 2022

Distraction while driving among drivers is one of the factors which cause road accidents. Data from the Ministry of Transport Malaysia shows that accidents involving cars, vans, buses, lorries, 4-wheel drives and taxi drivers contribute to road accidents which involve 787,237 cases that is 82% from total cases in 2016. Distraction while driving is involving the lack of focus of a driver due to another task doing instead of driving. The distraction while driving includes mobile phone use, manipulating car navigation system devices or car's features, eating or drinking, interaction with passengers and smoking. In Malaysia, there is not enough data regarding driver distraction. For example, research from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) only depends on the survey regarding driver distraction while driving. The objective of this research is to determine the portion of drivers in Shah Alam who involve in the form of distracting activities while driving. The method for this research is a set of questionnaires to survey the distraction influenced by the age of the drivers. Next, a method of a real-life observation by using a high definition camera from upper view. The collected data is to investigate the differences between gender and between peak and non-peak hours for distracted driving. The observation took place in three selected locations which is the major road that consists of three lanes in Seksyen 7, Seksyen 19 and Seksyen 21. It is obtained that 9.5% of drivers observed in Shah Alam are distracted while driving. Next, the male is more into smoking compared with female. There is a slight difference between the other types of distraction. Next, as in total, peak hour shows that drivers tend to be distracted more than a non-peak hour. As for gender, younger drivers tend to be distracted by mobile phones compared with older drivers.

Published: June 2022

Interaction characteristics between tyre and asphalt pavement surface are one of the important aspects that need to be taken into consideration in maintaining the safety of driving through increasing the effectiveness of tyre and optimizing the possibility of skidding, especially during hydroplaning conditions. Lower quality of tyres in terms of tyre life, bad tyre rethreading, low tyre material quality plus lack of awareness by road users can be considered the main factors in occurrence of car accidents in Malaysia. The study is done on the contact performance between tyre surface and asphalt pavement in hot and humid Malaysia climate, with the application of Finite-Element Method. In maintaining or increasing the safety features of tyre, several parameters such as rotational speed, vehicle weight, tyre-road contact friction will be studied through computer simulation. It is estimated that increment of loading, surface contact between tyre and road pavement will increase, thus increasing the frictional contact. It is shown that effective frictional characteristic is needed, where traction, braking, life of tyre can be optimized.

An experimental study of the brake-application time of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) system considering the primary accident in an urban area was proposed. Since the functionality of the brake-application time is varied between manufacturers and models, the brake-application time of AEB system must be verified based on driving behaviour in Malaysia. A primary accident was simulated to acquire vehicle deceleration rate in real condition by driving an ego vehicle at a different set of vehicle speeds. The study is focussed on the urban roads in the north region of West Malaysia, i.e. Penang. As a benchmark in this study, the brake-application time (2.6 s) introduced by Mercedes-Benz in the PRE-SAFE® Brakes technology was referred. A new braking permission time was proposed by calculating a minimum deceleration distance and Time-to-Collison (TTC) confirmation time required to brake based on maximum deceleration when a primary accident was simulated. It was found that the brake-application time recommended for the AEB system, specifically AEB City conveys the real driving condition of Penang when a primary accident happens in the urban area. To have a smooth braking and an optimum braking performance during a primary accident, the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) should be activated at TTC ≤ 4.6 s. The partial braking (PB) should be activated automatically when the TTC is approximately 2.9 s. While the automated full braking (FB) phase should begin when the TTC reaches 1.1 s.

Issues related to tyre safety are one of the major concerns when discussing the motor-vehicles' safety. Moreover, various articles reported in the print and electronic media on tyre failures, particularly involving retread tyres were often associated as the cause of crashes. However, before any effective solutions can be proposed to the relevant authorities, weaknesses and loopholes in the current ecosystem needs to be identified. Thus, this paper is aimed at reviewing the current status of motor vehicle tyre ecosystem in the country and establishing the knowledge on current related issues. This paper will look into five stages in the ecosystem, from tyre production until disposal and tyre scraping. Current and potential gaps are identified and recommendations to improve the situations are put forward. To enable a clearer explanation of the issues found and the proposed recommendations, the findings are tabulated according to each stage. The findings are expected to provide useful insights into the current status and issues in the ecosystem, and providing a useful and beneficial method of solution.

Published: June 2022

Traffic and road safety is a major concern of many governments around the world as it ensures the safety of its road users. Due to an increase in the number of road users, traffic-related accidents and fatalities have increased annually. Therefore, governments have stepped up their efforts to ensure the safety of road users and to reduce the number of traffic-related accidents and fatalities. However, these efforts have proven ineffective as the data gathered to measure the effectiveness of these efforts either lack credibility or are insufficient. This has led to inconclusive findings concerning the culture of road users and the extent of their awareness of traffic safety. Therefore, this paper performs a systematic data- and text-driven analytics and review of published literature on public awareness of traffic and road safety. The selected papers were first subjected to content analysis before being grouped according to the frequency of use of keywords discussing the issue at hand. As this method enabled us to successfully identify trends as well as the efficacy of traffic and road safety research, therefore, data and text analytics is an effective method of conducting a systematic literature review. The findings of this study will help traffic authorities gain credible insights into public perception, behavior, and attitude towards traffic safety awareness. Our assessment indicates that there are two important perspectives to be considered with regard to road safety; namely human and technology; the latter of which will be the main topic of study on public awareness of road and traffic safety. Moreover, an emerging trend in the literature suggests that more efforts should be allocated to promoting public awareness of road and traffic safety.

Attitude Towards Bangru Language of Arunachal Pradesh: The Natives’ Perspective
Authors: Ramya Tame
Published: June 2022

This paper investigates the language attitudes among Bangru in Arunachal Pradesh, an ethnically and linguistically diverse state in the north-eastern region of India. Bangru, an unclassified language cluster is spoken mainly in about 15 Bangru villages of Sarli circle in Kurung Kumey district, a northernmost frontier district bordering Tibet (China) in the north-east Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. The total population of Bangru mother-tongue speakers is numbers about 1,023 (39.35%) out of approximately 2,600 persons in the Sarli circle Although there is no separate Census record on this community, however, according to the data gathered, the Bangru account for about 1.14% of the total population of Kurung Kumey district. A questionnaire was used to collect data on language preference, language parents prefer their children to learn, and reasons for language preference. Results suggest that while a positive attitude played a significant role in learning Hindi and English among some of the groups under investigation, it proved to be of no help in maintaining the ethnic language. Hindi and English were reported as very important for education, economic privileges and social interaction. Ethnic language, on the other hand, was preferred for purely symbolic reasons (symbolizing a group’s ethnic identity).

Authors: Biju Talo , Mize Daniel
Published: June 2022

Indian subcontinent hosts three critically endangered Gyps vultures, namely; Gyps bengalensis, Gyps indicus, and Gyps tenuirostris. In the present review, we analyzed all previously published articles on geographic distribution, population trend and threats related to these three gyps vultures. In our analysis, we found that, these three species are reported mostly from India, Nepal and Bangladesh. These species are under a lot of environmental pressure, such as poisoning, habitat destruction, food shortages, electrocution and so on. These mentioned environmental factors are causing shrinkage of their distribution range as well decrease of individual numbers in last few decades. Their population is currently declining, with varying rate in different countries indicating that the three species of resident Gyps vultures in the Indian Subcontinent are still in great peril and require continuous conservation and appropriate management action plans to bring the population back to stable trend and to save these species from possible extinction.
Manevi Danışmanlık ve Rehberlikte Krize Müdahale Yaklaşımları
Authors: KARLIK Zeynep , KULA Naci
Published: June 2022

Bu makalenin amacı, krizin anlamına ve krizle mücadele yaklaşımlarına yönelik psikoloji ve manevi danışmanlık perspektifinden değerlendirmeler yapmaktır. Ayrıca manevi danışmanın alet çantasında olması gereken yöntem ve pratikler de incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda kriz terapilerinin klinik psikoloji ve manevi danışmanlık ve rehberlik literatürü açısından incelendiği bu makale, manevi danışmanlık ve rehberlik uygulamalarına kuramsal katkıda bulunmayı hedefleyen teorik bir çalışmadır. Manevi danışmanlık ve rehberlik, psikolojik danışmanlıktan farklı olarak bireyin hastalık, sakatlık, yaşlılık ya da doğal afetler nedeniyle yaşadığı krizlerle başa çıkmada, kaybedilen kontrol duygusunun yeniden kazandırılması için gerekli desteğin dini ve manevi referanslar kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmesidir. Benzer şekilde klinik psikoloji de insanın sağaltımı için çaba sarf eder. Ancak bu seküler modeller, Tanrı’dan bağımsız olarak farklı kültür ve inançtaki insanların hayatı anlamlandırmalarını aynı kabul ederek bireyi anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Psikanalitik kuram olayları nesnelere bağlarken bilişsel terapiler içe dönerek davranışların öznesini yeniden keşfetmiştir. Yaşamın ilk yıllarında önemli kişilerle geçirilen yaşantılar sonucunda gelişen bu bilişsel şemalar, stresli olaylarla karşılaşıldığında aktifleşir ve kestirme metot ve yollar sunarak tepkisini belirler. McIntosh ile din de, bir bilişsel şema olarak kabul edilmiştir. Dinin en temel şeması, her dinin ve bireyin kendine özgü Tanrı tasavvurunu tanımlayan Tanrı şemasıdır. Bu şemanın olumlu olmaması durumunda krizlerden Tanrı’yı sorumlu tutma, terk edildiğini düşünme ve Tanrı’nın ceza verici olarak algılanmasından dolayı suçluluk duygusu gibi negatif duygular tetiklenebilir. Makale boyunca manevi danışmanlıkta krize müdahale yaklaşımları, Tanrı tasavvuru şema kavramı çerçevesinde oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır. Nitekim din psikolojisi, kriz anında dini başa çıkma yöntemlerinden Tanrısal eylem düşüncesi teorisi ve bilişsel yönelim teorisinden güç alır. Bu doğrultuda Tanrı ile birey arasındaki bağlantı noktası olan Tanrı tasavvurunun kriz yaşantılarıyla ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Makalede son olarak; olumlu Tanrı tasavvuru şemasının bireyin yaşamsal krizleri anlamlandırmada ve krizle başa çıkmada temel unsur olduğu değerlendirilmiştir. Oluşturulmuş doğru Tanrı tasavvuru şeması ile bireyin başta krizle mücadele olmak üzere yaşamındaki pek çok olayın içinden geçebilecek kestirme bir yola sahip olduğu görülmektedir.
Screen-Space Virtual Point Light propagation for Real-Time Global Illumination
Authors: Aranha Vitor M. , Macedo Márcio C. F. , Apolinário Jr. Antônio L.
Published: June 2022

Proper light-transport simulation adds both realism and aesthetically pleasing effects to virtual 3D scenes. However, the cost of computing complex light interactions is prohibitive for real-time applications. Indirect diffuse lighting is a low frequency component of global illumination that can greatly enhance the quality of an image. Virtual point lights are commonly used to reproduce diffuse bounces by tracing light paths through the scene and creating proxy light sources at the intersections between a path and geometry. In this work we extend clusterization-based methods for virtual point lights, allowing for the reproduction of up to two bounces of light with a projection-aware sampling method in real-time. We show that plausible images can be obtained in real-time rates for low to mid-end commodity GPUs.

Published: June 2022

Early alert fire and smoke detection systems are crucial for management decision making as daily and security operations. One of the new approaches to the problem is the use of images to perform the detection. Fire and smoke recognition from visual scenes is a demanding task due to the high variance of color and texture. In recent years, several fire-recognition approaches based on deep learning methods have been proposed to overcome this problem. Nevertheless, many developments have been focused on surpassing previous state-of-the-art model's accuracy, regardless of the computational resources needed to execute the model. In this work, is studied the trade-off between accuracy and complexity of the inverted residual block and the octave convolution techniques, which reduces the model's size and computation requirements. The literature suggests that those techniques work well by themselves, and in this research was demonstrated that combined, it achieves a better trade-off. We proposed the KutralNext architecture, an efficient model with reduced number of layers and computacional resources for singleand multi-label fire and smoke recognition tasks. Additionally, a more efficient KutralNext+ model improved with novel techniques, achieved an 84.36% average test accuracy in FireNet, FiSmo, and FiSmoA fire datasets. For the KutralSmoke and FiSmo fire and smoke datasets attained an 81.53% average test accuracy. Furthermore, state-of-the-art fire and smoke recognition model considered, FireDetection, KutralNext uses 59% fewer parameters, and KutralNext+ requires 97% fewer flops and is 4x faster.
Scene classification using a combination of aerial and ground images
Authors: Machado Gabriel , Nogueira Keiller , Santos Jefersson Alex dos
Published: June 2022

lt is undeniable that aerial images can provide useful information for a large variety of tasks, such as disaster relief, and urban planning. But, since these images only see the Earth from one point of view, some applications may benefit from complementary information provided by other perspective views of the scene, such as ground-level images. Despite a large number of public image repositories for both georeferenced photos and aerial images (such as Google Maps, and Street View), there is a lack of public datasets that allow studies that exploit the complementarity of aerial+ground imagery. Given this, we present two new publicly available datasets named AiRound and CV-BrCT. Using both, we tackled the scene classification task in 2 different scenarios. The first one has a fully-paired image set, while the second has missing samples. In both situations, we used deep learning and feature fusion algorithms. To handle missing samples, we proposed a content-based image retrieval framework.
Visual Rhythm-based Convolutional Neural Networks and Adaptive Fusion for a Multi-stream Architecture Applied to Human Action Recognition
Authors: Maia Helena de Almeida , Vieira Marcelo Bernardes , Pedrini Helio
Published: June 2022

In this work, we address the problem of human action recognition in videos. We propose and analyze a multistream architecture containing image-based networks pre-trained on the large ImageNet. Different image representations are extracted from the videos to feed the streams, in order to provide complementary information for the system. Here, we propose new streams based on visual rhythm that encodes longer-term information when compared to still frames and optical flow. Our main contribution is a stream based on a new variant of the visual rhythm called Learnable Visual Rhythm (LVR) formed by the outputs of a deep network. The features are collected at multiple depths to enable the analysis of different abstraction levels. This strategy significantly outperforms the handcrafted version on the UCF101 and HMDB51 datasets. We also investigate many combinations of the streams to identify the modalities that better complement each other. Experiments conducted on the two datasets show that our multi-stream network achieved competitive results compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

We explore different architectures to reduce computational complexity, and, as a result, we propose two novel neural network models for 2D and 3D pose estimation. We also introduce a new architecture for Graph attention networks called Semantic Graph Attention.
Exploring ERP Distortions to Reduce the Encoding Time of 360 Videos
Authors: Storch Iago , Agostini Luciano , Zatt Bruno , Palomino Daniel
Published: June 2022

The encoding of 360 videos presents many challenges. These videos require a planar projection stage before encoding, and there are no studies on how projection interferes with the encoder decisions. Also, due to the increased resolution, encoding 360 videos is computationally costlier than conventional videos. In this work, we perform an extensive evaluation of how the texture distortions caused by the projection interfere with the encoder's behavior and exploit these interferences to propose multiple fast algorithms to accelerate the encoding. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms reduce encoding time significantly with minor coding efficiency penalties, while the evaluations expose novel insights into the encoder behavior.

Gasoline Lubricity
Authors: Arkoudeas Panagiotis
Published: June 2022

It is concluded that the lubricity of gasoline is the least well understood of all three fuels due largely to the lack of a reliable test method for measuring the lubricity of such a very volatile and contamination-sensitive material. To overcome this limitation, the development of a simple and easy methodology based on the general standard ASTM G-133 have been produced. This method is first used to investigate the lubricity of commercial gasolines to obtain some baseline data for further study. A comparison of the overall lubricity level of diesel fuel and gasoline fuel indicates that additive-free gasolines have significantly poorer lubricity than highly-refined, Swedish Class I diesel fuel, while commercial, detergent-containing gasolines range from slightly better to significantly poorer than a Swedish Class I diesel fuel. Especially LRP (lead replacement) gasolines developed a tests on refinery streams used to blend gasoline also show quite varied wear behaviour. Gasoline lubricity can be significantly improved by adding small amount of diesel lubricity additives. The results indicate that the type of fuel is a significant factor for discriminating the lubrication properties of each type of gasoline fuel and that lubricity is affected by bulk and trace composition characteristics of the fuel.
MIND Diet

Age-associated changes in the brain, injuries such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, mood disorders like depression, substance use disorder, or addiction, and diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease will affect brain health. Some factors affecting brain health cannot be changed, but many lifestyle changes have the potential to make a difference. Dietary patterns have been associated with protective relations to cognitive decline and incident dementia in epidemiological studies. An amalgam of the Mediterranean-DASH diets, called the MIND diet, emphasizes the dietary components and servings linked to neuroprotection and dementia prevention. Analogous to the Mediterranean and DASH diets, the MIND diet score highlights natural plant-based foods and limited intakes of animal foods. The diet uniquely stipulates consumption of green leafy vegetables, other vegetables, berries, nuts, whole grains, olive oil, fish, beans, poultry, and wine, but does not specify high fruit consumption, dairy products, red meat, and fried foods. The MIND diet score was related to a slower rate of cognitive decline, equivalent to 7.5 years of younger age. It was evident that the MIND diet reduces a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease dementia and also the diet comprises a variety of nutrient sources in the right proportions.
Endocannabinoid System as a New Therapeutic Avenue for the Treatment of Huntington’s Disease
Authors: Saramak Kamila , Szejko Natalia
Published: June 2022

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disorder manifested by chorea as well as a variety of psychiatric abnormalities. Up to this date, only symptomatic treatment exists. Therefore, there is an urgent need for further therapies. Several neuroanatomical circuits are involved in the pathophysiology of HD, mainly the dopaminergic system. Animal studies and limited studies in humans have shown that abnormalities in the endocannabinoid system could also play an important role in the pathophysiology of HD. These findings have important clinical implications since cannabis-based medicines could potentially be used in the treatment of HD. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of the research regarding the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in HD.
Recent Applications of Bioremediation and Its Impact

Published: June 2022

Socioeconomic concerns have increased the technology dependence to facilitate the increasing population on the earth. Number of anthropogenic sources are responsible for contaminating the natural environment. Effluents from industries contain many toxicants that cause lethal effects on human and animal life on earth. Many techniques are used so far for the abatement of such pollutants from the environment. As “nature heals itself” so dealing with such problems with bioremediation utilizing the invisible workers (microorganisms), plants and enzymes can help minimize and get rid of such pollutants. It is a greener way to conserve the environment and get rid of such awful substances. Bioremediation can help to get rid of contaminants either by in situ or ex situ approach. By using both ways, either ex situ or in situ, the decontamination of the environment can be successfully done. Using various plant materials and microorganisms by tailoring the surrounding environment to make it suitable for rectifying the contaminant issue is the main goal of bioremediation.
Religious Self and Sustainability Ideation: Islamic Perspective and Indonesian Context
Authors: Hanggarani Ninin Retno , Fauzi Rachman Noer
Published: June 2022

This chapter describes the role of the religious self in relation to sustainability ideation. The religious self that can foster sustainability ideation is the genuine religious self. The process is to realize the duty of humans as a caliphate and learn the science of God’s creation as part of human obedience to God. The traditional perspective of religiosity that separates the science of religion from the general science, and considers the general science has nothing to do with religiosity, needs to be retheorized. Retheorization is necessary. Thinking about religiosity provides the opportunity to a Muslim who studies the natural sciences and other sciences to carry out the human duties as caliph, namely guarding the earth.
A Psychoanalytic Approach to Identity Politics
Authors: Barton Jason
Published: June 2022

I intend to analyze the prevailing discursive formation of identity politics through the frames of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalyses. In particular, I will support three claims. First, identity politics possesses two competing forces, intersubjectivity and intersectionality, which nicely instantiate respectively the Lacanian registers of the Symbolic and the Real. Second, previous psychoanalytic approaches have failed to capture the unconscious death drive within identity politics (i.e., intersectionality); that is, contemporary scholars of psychoanalysis, such as Kalpana Seshadri-Crooks, Juliet Flower MacCannell, Howard Schwartz, and Slavoj Žižek, neglect the destabilizing force of intersectionality. Finally, intersectionality represents the novel mechanism by which the symbolic order of whiteness, in its attempt to preserve itself, appropriates the Real. As psychoanalysis seeks to extend itself into diverse realms of sociopolitical conversation, I contend that it is imperative for a psychoanalytic comprehension of identity politics to be front and center within any treatment of the subject matter.

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading type of cancer among women. Findings have revolutionized current knowledge of microRNA (miRNA) in breast tumorigenesis. The seed region of miRNA regulates the process of gene expression negatively. The presence of SNPs in the seed regions of miRNA dramatically alters the mature miRNA function. Additionally, SNPs in the out-seed region of miRNAs have a significant impact on miRNA targeting. This study focuses on the in silico analysis procedure of mature miRNA SNPs and their impact on BC risk. The database annotated SNPs on mature miRNAs was used. Also, target gene alterations, miRNAs function in BC, and the interaction of miRNAs with targets were predicted. A list of 101 SNPs in 100 miRNAs with functional targets in BC was indicated. Under the SNPs allele variation, 10 miRNAs changed function, 6 miRNAs lost targets, 15 miRNAs gained targets, 48 onco-miRNAs remained unchanged, and 21 tumor suppressor miRNAs remained unchanged. At last, a list of 89 SNPs, which alter miRNA function and miRNA-mRNA interaction, were shown to be potentially associated with BC risk. This research theoretically generated a list of possible causative SNPs in the mature miRNA gene that might be used in future BC management studies.
Akumulácia ľudského kapitálu nedávnych absolventov škôl v regiónoch Európy
Authors: Rehák Štefan
Published: June 2022

The article aims to explore the development of differences in the accumulation of human capital in European regions. Specifically, we analyze the human capital accumulation of recent school leavers through data on the average number of years of education in NUTS2 regions of Europe between 2000 and 2020. The results of the decomposition of Theil's T index point to a reduction in regional disparities in human capital in Europe. However, this is the result of reducing disparities between countries rather than between regions within countries. In Central and Eastern Europe, the increase in human capital has been linked to an increase in intra-regional disparities due to the concentration of educated young graduates in the capital regions. The results show that the uneven accumulation of human capital in the regions of Central and Eastern Europe will be an important determinant of the development of regional disparities in the future.
Průmyslová struktura ČSR na konci 80. let: Milník k post-socialistické transformaci urbánního prostředí

In CSR, industry had an immediate impact on the urban environment of Czech cities, not only during the Industrial Revolution and interwar period, but also during the socialist era. The aim of the paper is to analyze and interpret the differences in the spatial and sectoral structure of industrial production with a focus on the urban environment. Industrial production was analyzed from three points of view: i) the share of industries on employment in districts, ii) largest employers in regional centres, and iii) individual industries in regional centres (the specialization index was calculated). The results have shown the most significant increase in the share of employees in industry in the 1950s and 1960s as a part of the so-called socialist industrialization. During the 1970s and 1980s, industry was losing its relative share, but it kept growing in absolute terms until 1989. In the late 1980s, there were 10 districts with the share of industry on total employment larger than 50%, and in three districts over 60%. Based on the specialization index, four regional centres became very specialized at the time: Karlovy Vary (glass and building materials industry), Ústí nad Labem and Pardubice (chemical and rubber industry), and Olomouc (food industry).

Religiosity is historically firmly rooted in Slovakia. It also has a historical foundation in the Nitra Diocese, which confirms the establishment of the Nitra Diocese in 880 by Pope John VIII. at the request of Prince Svätopluk. The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of religious tourism on the development of two selected rural municipalities in the Nitra diocese - Pozba and Močenok. From a methodological point of view, the basis was the excerpt of print and electronic information sources of various kinds, results of pilgrimage places questionnaires and their comparative analysis. Critical access to information was supported by communication with the Episcopal Office in Nitra, interviews with parish administrators, mayors and residents. The field survey was associated with the documentation of sacral spaces. The result of the work is the identification of forms, resp. manifestations of the functioning of the secular and ecclesial community in both municipalities. While the municipality of Pozba represents a traditional center of pilgrim tourism, the municipality of Močenok has transformed from this position into a center of Christian theater, which is also perceived at the national level. Both municipalities support the activities of ecclesiastical communities and localities of pilgrimage sites are perceived as inseparable parts of municipalities. In both municipalities, which are also part of European cultural routes, religious tourism significantly contributes to the visibility of the municipality and conditions its development, especially in connection with the construction of infrastructure.
