JUDICIAL REVIEW OF LEGAL PROTECTION AGAINST VICTIMS IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF LAW NO. 13 OF 2006 CONCERNING PROTECTION OF WITNESSES AND VICTIMS
Authors: Setiono Edi , Njoto Harsono
Published: June 2023

Abstract The criminal justice system in Indonesia based on the Criminal Code (KUHAP) is too focused on the perpetrator and pays less attention to the victim. This can be seen in the lack of regulations contained in the Criminal Procedure Code that discusses the existence of crime victims. Thus, the position of a crime victim here is only as a witness in a criminal case which is solely to prove the suspect / defendant's guilt. The importance of a crime victim getting attention is based on the idea that the victim is the party who is aggrieved in the event of a crime, so that he should receive attention and service in order to provide protection for the interests of the victim, the crime victim is basically the party who suffers the most in an act. criminal. This study uses a descriptive method which aims to describe, summarize various conditions, various features or a description of certain conditions or variables. Thus it can be interpreted that the depiction or study of the data in the analysis is temporary, meaning that it can change according to developing circumstances and times. Every perpetrator of a criminal act must be held accountable for his actions where the rule of law is made to be obeyed, therefore if someone violates it must be subject to sanctions. In Indonesia, every sentence is imposed solely because someone has committed a crime. Keywords: legal protection, victim, crime

Published: June 2023

Today the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men are the actual problem. LUTS is an extremely polyetiological problem, but benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most often reason for its development.
The problem of chronic prostatitis (CP) in patient of the older age with BPH is of great importance. These patients have the most pronounced symptoms of the lower urinary tract dysfunction. The therapy of patients with BPH and CP must lead to reducing of LUTS and improvement of quality of life, as well as to complications prevention associated with prostate enlargement and intravesical obstruction, such as acute urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infection.
The modern researches have presented that the combinations of herbal preparation with tamsulosin were more effective than monotherapy with α-adrenoblockers. That is why phytotherapy is considered an alternative option in the treatment of CP as first-line therapy and for the BPH initial stages in the complex treatment with other drugs. In contrast to “traditional” measures with one component, today multicomponent herbal preparations are popular.
A natural complex preparation which contains saw palmetto extract (S. Repens), 3.3’ diindolylmethane, pumpkin seed extract, resveratrol, lycopene for hormonal balance normalization for men with BPH was analyzed.
The advantage of the natural complex hormonal balance normalization for men with BPH is that it can be prescribed for the first LUTS signs that can prevent the symptoms progression and development of complications.
Urologist received the preparation for effective LUTS treatment in patients with BPH and CP, as well for removal of postoperative dysuria.

The objective: to analyze the effectiveness and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (mPCNL) compared to standard percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (sPCNL) in the treatment of nephrolithiasis.
Materials and methods. The study analyzed the results of treatment of 1021 patients with solitary (10–30 mm), coral-like and multiple kidney stones for the period from 2016 to 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: sPCNL (500 patients) and mPCNL (521 patients). The average age of patients in both groups was 44.5±15 years. The results of treatment in both groups were compared with each other according to the following parameters: stone-free rate (SFR), duration of surgery, presence of complications, and length of postoperative hospital stay.
Results. Both methods are highly effective in the surgical treatment of nephrolithiasis. At the same time, the duration of the operation in the mPCNL group was longer than in the sPCNL group (81.0±15.5 min vs. 69.1±13.9 min; p<0.001), mCPNL was more often finished with drainageless methods (41.1% vs. 6.8%; p<0.001).
The postoperative SFR after mPCNL was generally higher (96.4% vs. 91.8%; p=0.002) both in the treatment of solitary stones (98.5% vs. 97.4%; p>0.05) and in treatment of coral-like (90.1% vs. 77.3%; p<0.05) and multiple nephrolithiasis (89.5% vs. 70.8%; p=0.03).
The postoperative hemoglobin decrease was smaller in the mPCNL group (1.1±0.34 g/dL vs. 2.1±0.26 g/dL; p<0.001). The infectious complications frequency and length of postoperative stay in the hospital were less in the mPCNL group than in the sPCNL group – 7.3% vs. 13.2% (p=0.03) and 1.9±0.6 days vs. 4.3± 2.4 days, respectively (p<0.001).
Conclusions. Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (m-PCNL) has been proven to be a safe and effective method of nephrolithiasis treatment. Compared with standard percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (sPCNL), patients after mPCNL have a higher SFR, a lower frequency of postoperative complications and duration of postoperative stay in the hospital. An increase operation time by mPCNL is associated with a decrease in the diameter of the tube.

Authors: Salamadze Olha , Babinets Liliia
Published: June 2023

Today, comorbidity has been recognized as a global problem of modern medicine around the world. The combined pathology of the thyroid gland and pancreas requires constant search and improvement of an individual approach to the treatment of patients and can improve large-scale socio-economic consequences.
The article presents the analysis of quality of life (QL) of patients with comorbidity of hypothyroidism and chronic pancreatit is (CP).
Materials and methods. The study included 62 inpatient patients with hypothyroidism and concomitant CP, who were treated at the gastroenterology center of the Yuriy Semeniuk Rivne Regional Clinical Hospital. The comparison group involved 48 patients with isolated CP. GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) was used to evaluate the severity of gastroenterological symptoms and QL.
Results. Analyzing the data of the GSRS questionnaire, it was found that in patients with hypothyroidism with concomitant CP, reflux, pain and dyspeptic syndromes were the most common clinical manifestations (p>0.05). According the GSRS questionnaire results, the clinical course of patients with the hypothyroidism was complicated by the comorbidity of the CP, namely: on the scale of gastric reflux – by 48.57 %, on a scale of dyspepsia – by 35.84 %, diarrhea – by 26.94 %, constipation – by 19.93 %, abdominal pain – by 40.81 %.
Conclusions. As a result of the study, the lower level QL in patients with hypothyroidism with concomitant chronic pancreatitis (CP) was established compared to the isolated course of CP. It was determined that the comorbidity of hypothyroidism and CP leads to a complication of the clinical condition of patients.

Published: June 2023

Background: Heart failure (HF) patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are rather poorly studied based on varying left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) classification. Characteristics and prognosis of patients in ICUs with HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) require further clarification. Methods: Data involving clinical information and 4-year follow-up records of HF patients were extracted and integrated from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. Tests were carried out to identity differences among these three HF subtypes. Prognostic analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional-hazards regression modeling. To develop a novel prediction nomogram, forward selection was used as the best-fit model. Prognostic heterogeneity of the subgroups prespecified by stratification factors in pairwise comparisons was presented using forest plots. Results: A total of 4150 patients were enrolled in this study. HFmrEF had the lowest all-cause mortality rate during the 4-year follow-up, which was significantly different from HFrEF and HFpEF (Log-Rank p < 0.001). The Cox proportional-hazards regression model also showed that a comparison of HFrEF versus HFmrEF indicated a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.76 (95% CI 0.61–0.94, p = 0.011) and HFrEF versus HFpEF indicated a HR 0.93 (95% CI 0.82–1.07, p = 0.307). Following a multivariable analysis, 13 factors were confirmed as independent. A new nomogram was established and quantified with a concordance index (C-index) of 0.70 (95% CI 0.67–0.73), and the internal validation indicated the accuracy of the model. Stratification factors such as a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) induced prognostic heterogeneity among the three subtypes. Conclusions: Clinical characteristics and prognosis significantly varied among the three subtypes of HF patients in ICUs, with HFmrEF patients achieving the best prognosis. The novel prediction model, tailored for this population, showed a satisfying prediction ability.

High-throughput metabolomics techniques are a useful tool to understand many disease conditions including cardiovascular disease such as valvular heart disease(s) (VHD). VHD involves damage to heart valves, mostly presenting as stenosis, regurgitation or prolapse and can be classified into degenerative, rheumatic, congenital, or prosthetic valve disease. Gaps remain in our understanding of the pathogenesis of the common VHD. It is now fitting to place into perspective the contribution of metabolomics in the mechanism of development, diagnosis, and prognosis of VHD. A structured search for metabolomics studies centred on human VHD was undertaken. Biomarkers associated with the pathogenesis of bicuspid aortic valve disease, mitral valve disease, rheumatic heart disease, and degenerative aortic valve stenosis are reviewed and discussed. In addition, metabolic biomarkers reported to prognosticate patient outcomes of post-valve repair or replacement are highlighted. Finally, we also review the pitfalls and limitations to consider when designing metabolomics studies, especially from a clinician’s viewpoint. In the future, reliable and simple metabolic biomarker(s) may supplement the existing diagnostic tools in the early diagnosis of VHD.
Geoinformatics Engineering and GIS for Urban Growth Patterns Assessment

Published: June 2023

Urbanization has profound effects on administrative boundaries, resulting in the expansion of urban areas, particularly at the periphery. This rapid growth leads to significant changes in landcover and land use, as agricultural and natural open areas are progressively transformed into densely populated urban landscapes characterized by housing, commercial infrastructure, and transportation systems.

The capital city of Jordan, Amman, faces exceptional urban growth, with its population surpassing 4.5 million people. This unprecedented expansion has given rise to extensive urban landscapes, presenting challenges for planners who lack a holistic understanding of the wide-ranging impacts.

To address these complexities and make well-informed decisions, planners urgently require comprehensive, up-to-date information on the causes, chronology, and consequences of urbanization. Integrating high-precision satellite imagery, geoinformatics data, and topographic insights offers a promising avenue to develop comprehensive inventories of urban change and growth. Such knowledge acts as a vital resource, enabling accurate assessments of expanding built-up areas and their associated implications.

The use of high geometric resolution satellite imagery and geoinformatics data combined with topographic information and GIS could provide effective information to develop urban change and growth inventory which could be explored towards producing a very important signature for the built-up area changes.

This study examines whether the detrimental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the affectivity of the population extend one year after the outbreak. In an online-mobile session, participants completed surveys (i.e. demographic characteristics, positive-negative affectivity, interoceptive awareness) and a similarity judgment task of triplets of emotional concepts, from which we derived 2D maps of their affective knowledge representation. Compared with pre-pandemic data derived from a comparable population, we report three main findings. First, we observed enhanced negative affectivity during the pandemic, but no changes in positive affectivity levels. Second, increased self-reported interoceptive awareness compared to pre-pandemic data, with greater attention to bodily sensations and adaptive aspects of interoceptive sensitivity. Furthermore, female participants reported higher scores than males on the questionnaire subscales of Emotional Awareness and Attention Regulation. Third, the effect of pandemic-related conditions is also apparent in the mental organization of emotional concepts, especially for female participants (i.e., reduced coherence in the organization of the concepts along the arousal dimension and more misclassification of concepts based on arousal) and participants who did not perform physical activity (a collapse of the arousal dimension). Some of the effects of the pandemic, thus, persist about a year after the outbreak. These results advise providing programs of psychological and emotional assistance throughout the pandemic beyond the outbreak, and that age-dependent gender differences should be accounted for to define tailored interventions. Physical activity might relieve pandemic-related stressors, so it should be promoted during particularly stressful periods for the population.

Keluarga merupakan bagian terkecil dalam suatu lingkungan masyarakat yang terdiri dari ayah, ibu, dan anak-anak. Akan tetapi adapun keluarga yang tidak lengkap hanya terdiri dari ayah dan ibu dalam sebuah rumah tangga. Orang tua merupakan sebutan bagi ayah dan ibu dari seorang anak, baik secara hubungan biologis maupun sosial. Umumnya orang tua memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam membesarkan seorang anak melewati komunikasi yang diterapkan Salvicion dan Celis (1998)' memberikan gambaran bahwa di dalam keluarga terdapat dua atau lebih dari dua pribadi yang tergabung karena hubungan darah, hubungan perkawinan atau pengangkatan dalam satu rumah tangga, berinteraksi satu sama lain dan didalam perannya masing-masing dan menciptakan serta mempertahankan suatu kebudayaan. dari pengertian yang sudah dijabarkan berarti keluarga adalah dua pribadi atau lebih dimana ada ikatan baik darah maupun hubungan lainnya yang bersatu dengan peranan masing-masing untuk mempertahankan suatu kebiasaan secara turun temurun.Akitab mengajarkan bahwa lembaga pertama yang dirancang dan didirikan Allah adalah keluarga yang fundamental dan mendasar. Dimana laki-laki akan meninggalkan ayah dan ibunya dan bersatu dengan istrinya menjadi satu daging (Kejadian 2:24). Lembaga keluarga ini merupakan dasar bangunan dari masyarakat sehat dan teratur (Kejadian 2:18-25).

Sarana dan prasarana pembelajaran memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap keberhasilan pembelajaran peserta didik. Siswa yang tidak mendapatkan sarana dan prasarana yang layak seringkali mengalami kendala ketika proses pembelajaran berlangsung, sehingga pemenuhan fasilitas yang memadai tidak dapat diabaikan begitu saja untuk mencapai keberhasilan pembelajaran. Keberhasilan belajar peserta didik ditunjukkan dari seberapa besar perubahan perilaku yang dapat dicapai melalui pembelajaran. Perubahan perilaku itu meliputi perubahan kemampuan, yaitu kognitif (cognitive domain), afektif (affective domain) dan psikomotor (psychomotor domain). sarana dan prasarana merupakan komponen dalam proses pembelajaran yang mendukung potensi masing-masing peserta didik di setiap satuan pendidikan, baik formal maupun non-formal. Sarana dan prasarana yang dibutuhkan di sekolah tidak selalu sama, hal tersebut tergantung pada tingkatan sekolah.

Perilaku merupakan suatu akutivitas yang dilakukan oleh organisme yang terkait dengan respon ketika terdapat rangsangan ataupun stimulus. Setiap organisme memiliki respon yang berbeda-beda karena terdapat perbedaan antara satu organisme dengan organisme lainnya. Tujuan dari ulasan ini yaitu untuk mengetahui terkait perilaku makan, adaptasi dan menghindari predator pada beberapa jenis hewan yang mewakili. Perilaku makan pada hewan merupakan suatu kondisi terkait respon yang dimiliki setiap hewan terhadap makanan yang akan dikonsumsinya, dalam hal ini sifat spesifik makanan seperti ukuran dan warnanya. Makanan yang diperoleh hewan terlebih dahulu diproses dalam sistem fisiologis yang diawali dengan ingesti, digesti, kemudian absorpsi diakhiri dengan defekasi. Perilaku adaptasi merupakan tindakan berupa respon dari hewan dalam hal penyesuaian diri terhadap kondisi lingkungan sekitarnya dengan tujuan kelangsungan hidup spesies yang berkelanjutan. Beberapa jenis perilaku adaptasi, yakni adaptasi morfologi berupa perubahan secara fisik pada hewan, kemudian adaptasi fisiologis berupa perubahan metabolisme pada hewan, serta adaptasi perilaku berupa respon hewan yang dikaitkan dengan kondisi suhu sekitarnya. Perilaku menghindari predator merupakan respon yang dihasilkan oleh hewan dalam hal menghindari predator dengan tujuan mempertahankan kehidupannya. Beberapa perilaku menghindari predator pada hewan yaitu perilaku altruistik yang mengutamakan kelompok, kamuflase berupa pernyamaran dengan menyesuaikan kondisi lingkungan serta mimikri berupa penyamaran dengan perubahan warna kulit.

Ikan merupakan penghuni utama pada ekosistem akuatik (perairan). Ikan dapat ditemukan di berbagai jenis perairan, termasuk perairan tawar seperti danau, sungai, dan rawa, serta perairan payau dan perairan laut. Ikan memegang peranan utama dalam ekosistem dan lingkungan, karena dapat berfungsi sebagai bioindikator. Ikan juga dapat dijadikan sumber pangan karena memiliki kandungan gizi yang sangat tinggi yakni sebagai protein hewani setelah daging, susu, dan telur. Perilaku harian ikan berupa perilaku makan, perilaku kawin, sosial, migrasi, dan adaptasi. Beberapa ayat Al-qur’an yang membahas tentang ikan diantaranya surah fatir ayat 12 dan An-Nahl ayat 14.

Published: June 2023

Researchers and engineers have increasingly used Deep Learning (DL) for a variety of Remote Sensing (RS) tasks. However, data from local observations or via ground truth is often quite limited for training DL models, especially when these models represent key socio-environmental problems, such as the monitoring of extreme, destructive climate events, biodiversity, and sudden changes in ecosystem states. Such cases, also known as small data problems, pose significant methodological challenges. This review summarises these challenges in the RS domain and the possibility of using emerging DL techniques to overcome them. We show that the small data problem is a common challenge across disciplines and scales that results in poor model generalisability and transferability. We then introduce an overview of ten promising DL techniques: transfer learning, self-supervised learning, semi-supervised learning, few-shot learning, zero-shot learning, active learning, weakly supervised learning, multitask learning, process-aware learning, and ensemble learning; we also include a validation technique known as spatial k-fold cross validation. Our particular contribution was to develop a flowchart that helps DL users select which technique to use given by answering a few questions. We hope that our review article facilitate DL applications to tackle societally important environmental problems with limited reference data.
Generating Meaning: Active Inference and the Scope and Limits of Passive AI

Published: June 2023

Prominent accounts of sentient behaviour depict brains as generative models of organismic interaction with the world, raising points of contact with current work in Generative AI. However, because they contend with the control of purposive, life-maintaining sensorimotor interactions, the generative models of living organisms are inextricably anchored to the body and world. Unlike the passive models learnt by Generative AIs, they must capture and control the sensory consequences of action. This allows embodied agents to intervene upon their worlds in ways that constantly put their best models to the test; providing a solid bedrock that is—we argue—essential to the development of genuine understanding. Here, we review the resulting implications, and consider future directions of travel for Generative AI.
