THE LEGAL ASPECT OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION BUDGET ALLOCATION
Authors: Syauqy Achmad
Published: October 2018

Education is part of the constitutional rights owned by the citizens and should be fulfilled by the State. Better proportion of educational budgetting will expand the access of education for the citizens.  Article 31 Paragraph 4 of the 1945 Constitution explicitly states the number of 20 percent of the fulfillment of the education budget as a guarantee of citizens' educational rights. Nevertheless, the implementation of the aforementioned provision has been interpreted in various policies.  This research answers the issue of law aspect regarding the implementation of educational budget allocation nationally. This is a doctrinal research with different approaches namely: statute, conceptual, and case. In this research, three important things are concluded: (1) The constitutional framers were lack of comprehend consideration in formulating provision related to educational budget. (2) The inconsistency of several principles such as the principle of Justice, Principle of Efficiency, Principle of Transparency, Principles of Public Accountability, and Principle of Effectiveness in the educational budget policy (3) Ineffectivity of administrative sanction since it has no significant effects to the substantial aspect of education equality and its improvement. The research offers several solutions (1) Constitutional amendment on the provision of educational budget allocation provided with reliable academic papers. (2) Designs effective supervision mechanism towards the local public budgeting (APBD) (3) Open the access for public participation.

Published: October 2018

A zona costeira brasileira apresenta uma diversidade de paisagens com notável relevância ambiental, econômica e social. Mediante tais características, ainda no início da colonização brasileira, com a intensificação das edificações na orla marítima da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, criou-se o Instituto Jurídico dos Terrenos de Marinha e Seus Acrescidos, para garantir as pessoas e à defesa nacional o acesso público ao mar e às regiões litorâneas. Recentemente, gerou-se um descontentamento dos proprietários de imóveis situados na linha de preamar (LPM), pois o Governo Federal intensificou as ações de gestão de patrimônio da união para regularizar o cumprimento do papel socioambiental de áreas públicas e lucrar com a arrecadação das receitas patrimoniais. Incitado pelas discordâncias entre proprietários e o Governo Federal, o presente trabalho buscou uma revisão de estudos e fatos para discutir sobre o método de delimitação das LPM utilizadas como base para a delimitação dos terrenos de marinha e seus acrescidos no território brasileiro, bem como as consequências que estas delimitações vêm causando para a população envolvida. É fato que a demarcação da LPM é uma exigência legal, prevista em lei, assim como variações ocorridas no nível médio dos mares, mostrando que há a necessidade de ajustes metodológicos para a definição da LPM, a fim de minimizar os conflitos permeados atualmente sobre tal problemática.

Protection against Expulsion in the Law of European Convention on Human Rights
Authors: Morawska Elżbieta Hanna
Published: October 2018

The purpose of this article is to conduct a critical analysis of the premises of protection of an alien elaborated by the ECHR against arbitrary and ECHR-incompatible expulsion from the territory of the State Party to the ECHR. The scope of the institutionalization of the individual’s right of asylum in international human rights law was first discussed so as to provide the background of this prohibition. Subsequently, the article presents the process of an inclusion of the issue of expulsion of aliens to the scope of the prohibition of ill-treatment. Thanks to this extensive interpretation of the prohibition of ill-treatment, the ECtHR has developed a particular mechanism of protecting aliens from expulsion, both in the material and procedural dimension. As a result, protection against expulsion under Article 3 of the Convention is outlined more broadly than protection under the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

Authors: Zhukova L. I. , Shakhverdyan Yu. G.
Published: October 2018

Purpose: еstablishment of the frequency of infection and clinical forms of cytomegalovirus infection in pregnant women with HIV infection. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 254 HIV-infected pregnant women of the Krasnodar Territory was conducted, which were observed in the framework of the current regulations on HIV infection and the management of pregnant women. Verification of cytomegalovirus infection and distribution of clinical forms was carried out by serological tests. The comparison group is a prospective analysis of 29 pregnant women with HIV infection who were additionally examined for cytomegalovirus infection by polymerase chain reaction. Results. Latent form of CMV infection was diagnosed in 220 (90,5%) of HIV-infected pregnant women, primary — in 5 (2,1%) and reactivated (late primary, reinfection)— in 18 (7,4%). Cytomegalovirus infection frequency increase with growing pregnant, increasing stages of HIV infection, more frequent multiplicity pregnancy, reducing CD4+ T-lymphocytes and increase in HIV RNA. The well-being of obstetric history had no effect on the incidence of infection with cytomegalovirus and various forms of CMV infection. Reactivated forms of cytomegalovirus infection were significantly more frequent in pregnant women with HIV infection at the lowest CD4 + T-lymphocyte counts, maximal HIV viremia, later onset of perinatal antiretroviral prophylaxis, but did not depend on the well-being of the obstetric anamnesis. A comparison group study demonstrated the presence of latent cytomegalovirus infection in all pregnant women, confirmed by the detection of only specific IgG. From the whole blood, the DNA of CMV in low concentration was isolated by PCR method in 1 (3,4%) of the patient, from the cervix — in 8 (27,6%). The amount of detected CMV DNA in the cervix was different, had a direct correlation with the level of HIV RNA of pregnant women and did not depend on the number of CD4-lymphocytes. The calculation of the relative risk in our observations demonstrated that the presence of cytomegalovirus in the cervix did not increase the risk of premature termination of pregnancy.

Authors: Milenkovic Dragan , Milosavljevic Milutin , Bojic Aleksandar
Published: October 2018

The influence of ultrasound application on the extraction (UE) of the cake
after sunflower seed pressing was studied. Three different solvents were
used for extraction in the Soxhlet apparatus: n-hexane, petroleum ether and
extraction petrol. Petrol for extraction showed the highest yield. It has
been shown that the using of ultrasound improved the extraction kinetics in
the initial period - washing, and in the second period - the diffusion of
oil from the mass of the cake. The parameters of the non-stationary
diffusion model with and without the use of ultrasound were k' = 0.039
min-1, k' = 0.026 min-1 and b' = 0.713, i.e. b' = 0.589, respectively. Oil
yield was also slightly higher in the ultrasonically supported extraction.

Published: October 2018

In this study, the polyphenol profile and antioxidant activity of the
hydro-ethanolic extract of the fennel fruit were examined in order to
investigate the possibility of its application as a potential functional food
additive. Total phenols were analyzed by the method of Folin-Ciocalteu, while
total flavonoids were determined by the aluminum chloride colorimetric
method. The separation and quantification of phenolic compounds were
performed by LC-MS/MS analysis, using a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
mode. The antioxidant capacity was determined by FRAP and DPPH assays. The
high values of total phenolics and flavonoids were found, as well as high
antioxidant activity which amounted to 9023.33 ? 38.19 ?mol Fe(II)/l and 3.73
? 0.04 mmol TE/l, tested by FRAP and DPPH assays, respectively. Among the
identified phenolic compounds, p-hydroxybenzoic and chlorogenic acids were
detected as predominant. The obtained results indicated that the
hydro-ethanolic extract of the fennel fruit can be used in food industry as a

Authors: Obrenovic Marija , Janicijevic Aco , Arbutina Dalibor
Published: October 2018

This work considers the manifestation of spontaneous breakdowns of Geiger-Mueller counters. This is an experimental type of work. The reasons leading to the spontaneous breakdowns of Geiger-Mueller counters have been analysed under controlled laboratory conditions. The experiments were carried out under the ?constant voltage?. The tested Geiger-Mueller chambers were commercial chambers of the radial electric field and homogenous electric field. The experimental-statistical methods were used in order to choose the chambers with identical features (with 0.1 % of statistical reliability).The results of experiments showed that the spontaneous breakdown of the Geiger-Mueller counter happens even in the conditions of shielding. They also showed that those breakdowns have cumulative features. The reason for that is a positive feedback between the spontaneous breakdowns. The explanation is confirmed and quantified by the working gas filtering experiments.

Authors: Hill Eddie L. , Reifschneider Kent , Ramsing Ron , Turnage Melissa , Goff Jennifer
Published: October 2018

Youth with diabetes frequently have limited access to traditional camps because of the need for accessible medical staff. With organized camping becoming more specialized with regard to meeting the needs of youth, there is an increased interest in developing and examining the efficacy of programs that serve individuals in specific illness groups, such as youth with type 1 diabetes. In a collaborative effort between a local university, a diabetes center of a local hospital, and the Lions Club, a diabetes camp was created to assist youth in the management of their diabetes. Data were collected over the 3-day family diabetes camp through three approaches: a pre- and post-program resiliency-based questionnaire, the 14-item Camper Learning Scale, and open-ended questions for parents of children with diabetes who were involved in camp. Wilcoxon t tests were used to analyze any differences between pre- and post-program scores on resiliency. The results indicated a positive increase of parents’ perceptions of their child’s resiliency (Z = –1.833, P = 0.67). Findings from the Camper Learner Scale indicated that 77.14% of campers felt they “learned a little” or “learned a lot” about crucial youth development outcomes (e.g., independence). Finally, direct content analysis of the qualitative measures indicated several themes among parent respondents, which were generalized into three categories: motivation, community, and challenges. Diabetes camps and family diabetes camps have a great opportunity to address some of the challenges young people face while living with the second most common chronic illness facing youth.
Patient Perspectives on Managing Type 1 Diabetes During High-Performance Exercise: What Resources Do They Want?
Authors: Dizon Stephanie , Malcolm Janine , Rowan Margo , Keely Erin J.
Published: October 2018

Objective.

Athletes with type 1 diabetes face unique challenges that make it difficult for health care providers to offer concise recommendations for diabetes management. Moreover, little is known about patient preferences for diabetes management during high-level and competitive exercise. We undertook a qualitative study to understand patient perspectives on managing type 1 diabetes during exercise.

Methods.

A qualitative design using focus groups was selected. Samples of 5–10 participants per group were recruited to participate in one of three 1.5-hour sessions focusing on experiences in managing diabetes, supports, and desired resources. Sessions were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed iteratively among team members.

Results.

The study included 21 participants (10 male and 11 female) with a mean age of 41 years. Most participants used trial and error to manage their blood glucose around exercise. Frequent monitoring of blood glucose was a common strategy and a challenge during exercise. Hypoglycemia after exercise and adrenaline-fueled hyperglycemia during exercise were the most prevalent concerns. Most participants relied on themselves, an endocrinologist, or the Internet for support but said they would prefer to rely more on peers with type 1 diabetes and mobile apps. Peer support or mentorship was strongly supported with recommendations for moving forward.

Conclusion.

This study highlights the individualized nature of balancing glycemic control in athletes and athletes’ heavy self-reliance to develop strategies. Expanding the availability of resources such as peer mentoring and mobile apps could potentially support athletes with type 1 diabetes.

The changes in the composition of plant species and cropping patterns have occurred in the management of Damar agroforest in Desa Kesugihan, Lampung Selatan. There are some reasons that farmers consider to make decisions in choosing plant species and cropping patterns. This study aimed to identify the reasons of farmers in the decision making of plant species selection and cropping pattern on agroforestry management of damar. Primary data collection was conducted by using an in-depth interview method on seven key informants and participant observation. The collected data is qualitative data and analyzed descriptively based on the real-life choice theory by Gladwin. The results showed that there was a change of plant species composition and cropping pattern on resin agroforestry to become cocoa agroforestry. This is affected by income, production continuity, gestation period, ease of maintenance and harvest, local knowledge and tolerance of the main plant to be planted with another crop. The dominant crop pattern was a combination of cocoa as the main plant with cengkeh, petai, tangkil, and durian. Another crop pattern was a combination between resin as the main plant species with cengkeh, durian, coconut, and petai. Comprehension and contribution from related stakeholders in the development of community forestry are fully needed to support sustainable agroforestry management.Keywords: agroforestry of Damar, decision making, plant composition, plant species selection, cropping pattern

Fluctuating asymmetry of three bat species in extensive livestock systems of Córdoba Department, Colombia
Authors: Castillo-Figueroa Dennis
Published: October 2018

The aim of this study was to analyze the degree of fluctuating asymmetry in wing traits and digits of three bat species in extensive livestock systems of Córdoba Department, Colombia. For this, specimens from Mammalian Collection at the Museo Javeriano de Historia Natural of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá, Colombia) were analyzed. All specimens belonged to fragments of tropical dry-forest immersed in extensive livestock systems of Córdoba department. To analyze fluctuating asymmetry 11 wing traits were used. To assess the existence of asymmetry, nonparametric U test was applied. To evaluate the existence of significant differences among different digits, Analysis of Variance were carried out. In total, 114 specimens were analyzed (Artibeus planirostris= 40, Artibeus lituratus=33, Carollia perspicillata= 41). The results showed no statistical difference (p> 0.05) in most of wing traits. Little variation in wing traits was due to its relevance on flight performance and the high tolerance to perturbation of these bat species. “Differential-mortality” hypothesis and “Big Mother” hypothesis are discussed. Results of this work suggest that livestock systems do not severely affect these species. Further studies should consider the type of management to know which provides better conditions for bats

Published: October 2018

O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar a importância do planejamento institucional na implantação de atividades sustentáveis em organizações hospitalares, aproximando os conceitos de saúde e desenvolvimento sustentável. Dotados de uma rotina de atividades peculiar, com setores que chegam a funcionar durante 24 horas por dia, os hospitais vêm se tornando peças-chave no desenvolvimento de atitudes sustentáveis que se justificam tanto pela quantidade e qualidade dos resíduos gerados quanto pela demanda energética destas instituições. Assim, o planejamento institucional em seus três níveis de atuação – estratégico, tático e operacional – ganha destaque, pois, configura-se como mecanismo de enfrentamento da problemática ambiental que é incorporada nos determinantes sociais do processo saúde-doença. Nesse sentido, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa exploratória, bibliográfica e documental por meio da qual foram analisados os documentos institucionais de um hospital universitário do alto sertão paraibano no que tange a questão da sustentabilidade ambiental. Concluiu-se no estudo deste caso que já estão implantadas algumas atividades e estratégias sustentáveis em alguns dos setores da organização, além de determinados ambientes apresentarem potencial de no futuro também disporem de mecanismos mais compatíveis com o desenvolvimento harmônico do planeta.

DIÁLOGOS ENTRE O CONHECIMENTO POPULAR E CIENTÍFICO
Authors: Ramos Andressa De Jesus Araújo , Ramos João Batista Santiago
Published: October 2018

A ciência moderna nos formou de maneira insuficiente em relação a nossa existência no mundo, visto que, tradicionalmente, se limitava, apenas, em classificar o conhecimento em “científico” e “não científico”. Porém com o surgimento da ciência pós-moderna as inquietações dos pesquisadores contemporâneos não se restringem à mera classificação de conhecimentos, mas sim em incluir e valorizar essa multiplicidade de saberes. Dessa forma, este trabalho, vinculado ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos Antrópicos na Amazônia (PPGEAA), reflete sobre os diálogos entre o conhecimento popular e científico na esfera acadêmica. O referencial teórico desta pesquisa ampara-se em: Santos (2008), Santos e Filho (2008).  Sendo assim, acredita-se que este estudo trará discussões relevantes no que tange a interação entre o conhecimento popular e científico na academia, uma vez que, a inclusão e a valorização do conhecimento popular na esfera acadêmica a partir da ecologia de saberes – que se trata da intensificação da pesquisa-ação -, promove uma transformação epistemológica no interior da universidade.

O Cmap Tools é um aplicativo através do qual se constroem mapas conceituais. Um mapa conceitual é uma espécie de esquema gráfico em que palavras e expressões se relacionam significativamente. Este artigo[1] busca, pois, apresentar o mapa conceitual, o Cmap Tools e suas funções, como também as possibilidades de trabalho com esse aplicativo para o ensino. A presente pesquisa é bibliográfica e de caráter qualitativo. O aparato teórico está pautado, principalmente, no que respeita à teoria dos mapas conceituais, nas contribuições de Costa, Brennand e Albuquerque (2011), Marriott e Torres (2014) e Novak e Cañas (2010). A pesquisa aponta o Cmap Tools como uma estratégia de ensino pautada na tecnologia e na inovação.

The functional effect of atorvastatin dose-dependent via inflammation factors on acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention
Authors: Liu Qian , Wang Yuanyuan , Cheng Xiucui
Published: October 2018

Objective

To investigate the effect of different doses of atorvastatin on patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

A total of 265 patients with acute ST segment elevation MI who underwent emergency PCI were enrolled, 133 in high-dose atorvastatin administration (40 mg/day) and 132 in moderate-dose atorvastatin administration (20 mg/day). All the patients continued treatment for 1th year. The incidences of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were recorded, including cardiovascular death, spontaneous MI, and unplanned revascularization. The association between clinical incidences and different doses of atorvastatin treatment was studied.

Results

Through tracking 1 year's treatment, the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in high-dose atorvastatin administration than in moderate treatment (1.6 ± 0.6 vs. 1.8 ± 0.6, P = 0.041). MACE significantly decreased in high-dose atorvastatin administration than in moderate treatment (9.8 vs. 18.2%, P = 0.03). Spontaneous MI was significantly more attenuated in high-dose treatment than in moderate treatment (6.8 vs. 12.8%, P = 0.03). Unplanned revascularization robustly decreased in patients with high-dose administration than those with moderate-dose treatment (5.2 vs. 8.3%, P = 0.03). There was no difference in the rate of adverse events between the two groups.

Conclusion

For patients with acute ST segment elevation MI who underwent emergency PCI, high-dose atorvastatin could provide better performance than moderate-dose in our long-term tracking.
Gender differences in cardiology: is it time for new guidelines?

Published: October 2018

Despite cardiovascular disease (CVD) now being the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide, this problem is still dramatically underestimated. The disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis between men and women are rooted in basic biological differences, as well as in the complex interactions of cultural and socioeconomic problems. This is why an up-to-date and gender-based revision of current guidelines is highly desirable.
Does Performance-Based Budgeting Have a Correlation with Performance Measurement System? Evidence from Local Government in Indonesia
Authors: Sofyani Hafiez
Published: October 2018

This study aimed to empirically test some variables related to Performance-Based Budgeting (PBB) and Performance Measurement System (PMS) implementation in the local government, namely Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study applied the mixed-methods approach with sequential explanatory strategy (QUANTITATIVE to Qualitative). Quantitative stage was conducted by testing the hypothesis using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach. On the qualitative stage, the interview was conducted to dig more information on the unsupported hypothesis. From the result of the hypothesis testing, it was discovered that the limitation of information system had a negative influence, while education had a positive influence towards the effectiveness of PBB. Furthermore, the effectiveness of PBB had a positive influence towards budget absorption, and the accountability also had a positive influence towards the use of performance information to practice the arrangement of PPB. Meanwhile, the qualitative analysis produced the finding that there were practices of PBB that could still be done manually and it was not supported by information technology. Besides, the implementation of PMS and PBB was more because of the coercive pressure rather than consciousness of normative apparatus.

Published: October 2018

In our study, we focused on urban wastewater management, with special regard to the problems caused by heavy metal contaminations. Heavy metals function at low concentrations as a biogenic element, but at the same time in higher amounts (especially above the limit value) are considered as pollutants. We determined the basic wastewater treatment problem: which is the main problem of heavy metal contaminated urban wastewaters and how could eliminate heavy metals. We focused on wastewater origin heavy metal mobility in environment and effect (risk) on human health. In the following, we undertook to analyse urban wastewater in this direction.

Published: October 2018

Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTs) were prepared by anodic oxidizing method on a surface of Ti substrate. Fabrication of nitrogen-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (N-TiO2 NTs) was carried out by immersion in ammonia solution. CdS nanoparticles loaded N-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays (CdS/N-TiO2 NTs) were obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results indicate that the TiO2 nanotube diameter and wall thickness are 100 nm to 120 nm and 20 nm to 30 nm, respectively. Moreover, the morphology and structure of the highly ordered TiO2 NTs are not affected by N-doping. Furthermore, CdS nanoparticles are evenly distributed on the surface of TiO2 NTs. Finally, the photocatalytic activity of CdS/N-TiO2 NTs was evaluated by degradation of MO under visible-light irradiation. Compared with TiO2 NTs, N-TiO2 NTs, CdS/N-TiO2 NTs exhibited enhanced photocatalytic properties, and the highest degradation rate of CdS/N-TiO2NTs could reach 97.6 % after 90 min of irradiation.
