CRISIS DE LA TUTELA JUDICIAL EFECTIVA EN EL PROCESO TRIBUTARIO: EL OCASO DE LA PROTECCIÓN PROCESAL DE LOS DERECHOS DE LOS CONTRIBUYENTES
Authors: Fraga Luis
Published: December 2022

El presente paper pretende exponer con meridiana claridad la situación actual de la justicia tributaria en Venezuela desde la nula e irrita promulgación de la Constitución de 1999, el Código Orgánico Tributario de 17 de Octubre de 2001, las Reformas del 2010, 2014 y 2020, que perenemente han desarmado a la Tutela Judicial Efectiva como una garantía constitucional de los contribuyentes, siendo ésta la clave de bóveda conjuntamente con la Reserva Legal Tributaria y la Legalidad de un Estado de Derecho Constitucional Material. La respectiva metodología del presente paper responde a un estilo descriptivo-explicativo de carácter jurisprudenciada, pues la exposición argumentativa se inserta en la revisión de distintos casos tratados ante instancias judiciales de la justicia tributaria. La principal conclusión fue el desmantelamiento del Estado de Derecho para los Contribuyentes con regulaciones legislativas institucionalizantes de antiguos privilegios medievales en el sistema tributario patrio, como el anulado solve et repete por la antigua justicia constitucional puntofijista.

Todo con el objetivo específico de delinear el panorama de la codificación de esta institución procesal en materia penal desde la perspectiva interamericana y venezolana. Razón por la cual, se limita a describir a grandes rasgos desde una visión dogmática y comparada el marco normativo vigente conformado por las normas internacionales, especialmente las interamericanas, y las normas venezolanas que regulan la cooperación judicial internacional en materia penal. Por tanto, la cuestión que se aborda se ubica dentro de la problemática general que representan los cambios mundiales para el derecho internacional privado.
Ejecución de sentencias que obligan a concluir un contrato que tienen por objeto la transferencia de propiedad: una propuesta para la reforma del código de procedimiento civil
Authors: Sánchez Abdón
Published: December 2022

El artículo 531 del Código de Procedimiento Civil venezolano, regula como debe cumplirse la sentencia que ordena la ejecución de un contrato. No obstante, se hallan sentencias que en su dispositivo, contienen normas particulares sobre el cumplimiento del mandato jurisdiccional, que en ocasiones no se ajusta con el procedimiento de ejecución de la sentencia legalmente establecida, y, en otras, lo complementan; existiendo un tercer grupo, constituido por aquellas que modifican sustancialmente ese procedimiento, lo que produce incertidumbre ante las distintas formas de dar tratamiento a la materia. Así, partiendo del contenido de las normas que sobre la ejecución de sentencia contiene el código del proceso civil y de la jurisprudencia del TSJ, se procura ofrecer, en primer lugar un estado del arte global, y luego ofrecer ideas para completar el desarrollo legislativo para adaptarlo al estado actual de la jurisprudencia, y así, solventar las deficiencias legislativas e incongruencias jurisprudenciales que pudieron detectarse.

Authors: Silva Andreza Letícia Faria , Ariente Lívia Carolina
Published: December 2022

Introduction:Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with severe Chronic Kidney Disease, as it offers better survival and quality of life compared to dialysis treatment. Children and adolescents with Chronic Kidney Disease, from a very young age, experience recurrent hospitalizations, undergo painful procedures and exams, in addition to presenting impairments in their physical, cognitive and emotional development, with implications for their self-image, psychosocial issues and adherence to treatment. The psychological assessment in the pre-transplant period makes it possible to identify risk factors through the understanding of the individual’s integral dynamics. Objective: To analyze the fundamental aspects of psychological evaluation in pediatric kidney transplantation. Methods: Integrative review with scientific articles published from 2010 onwards, in Portuguese, Spanish and English, available in the SciELO, PubMed and BVS databases, with a thematic content analysis proposed by Bardin. Results: The results pointed to the scarcity of studies on the subject, especially recent and regionalized studies. Most of the articles did not specifically address psychological assessment in pediatric kidney transplantation, however, they pointed out fundamental aspects to be observed during the assessment, with a prevalence of themes such as: lack of autonomy, negative self-perception, emotional repercussions, in family relationships and adherence. Conclusion: Psychological assessment in pediatric kidney transplantation makes it possible to identify risk factors that may contraindicate treatment or create interventions that contribute to positive results. The importance of carrying out more studies in the area is highlighted, considering the sociocultural interference and the work in a multidisciplinary team.

Optimization is one of the radiation protection efforts by giving radiation doses to patients as low as possible without reducing the quality of clinical images or what is often referred to as ALARA (As Low as Reasonably Achievable). A Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL) is an investigative indicator to optimize radiation protection for diagnostic and interventional radiology patients. The typical radiation dose value in AP thoracic examination patients at Gading Pluit Hospital is higher than the Indonesian DRL (I-DRL) value, so it is necessary to optimize the dose. Optimization of radiation dose aims to protect patients by evaluating exposure factors without compromising the quality of clinical images. AP chest image acquisition was performed using clinical exposure factors and their variations on the general radiographic X-Ray Listem REX 525-R. Evaluation of dose and image quality was carried out by a reading doctor/radiologist using a blind test. Optimizing results show that a lower exposure factor can reduce the radiation dose in AP thoracic examination of adult patients without affecting image quality. Exposure factor 80 kVp; 150 mA; 3.75 mAs is recommended to replace the exposure factor used before optimization, namely 80 kVp; 200 mA; 7 mAs. Keywords: optimization, DRL, radiation protection.

Authors:   BAPETEN, Jl. Gadjah Mada No. 8, Jakarta, Zulfiandri Zulfiandri
Published: December 2022

The Kartini reactor is a TRIGA-type research reactor with an operating power of 100 kW. The Kartini reactor was built in 1974 and is used for research, irradiation, education, and training purposes. In 2004, this reactor failed to display the fuel temperature in the control room. Therefore, a simple system is made to temporarily show the fuel temperature value while the fuel temperature display in the control room is improved. This system is designed to measure reactor fuel temperatures up to 250 0C. This system consists of an operational amplifier circuit (op-amp), an active low-pass filter circuit, an analog-to-digital converter circuit, and an AT89S51 microcontroller with an LCD circuit. First, the method converts the analog input into a digital value using ADC-0809. Next, the microcontroller's digital data from ADC-0809 is compared with the temperature value of the type K thermocouple. Finally, the temperature value (in 0C) closest to the digital value resulting from the ADC conversion is displayed by the microcontroller via a liquid crystal display. The results of the equipment being made satisfactory are proven by measurements of the Kartini reactor, which was operated for 4.5 hours at a power of 100 kW showing the temperature value on the core in ring B with a value of 117 0C. The voltage vs. temperature table on the K-type thermocouple has validated this temperature value. Keywords: reactor fuel temperature, microcontroller, analog to digital converter.

Published: December 2022

The need for organic fertilizers is always increasing in the development of food crops in Indonesia, especially in the East Lombok Regency. The increase in fertilizer demand was driven by the scarcity of fertilizers and the lack of subsidized fertilizers in various regions. In processing livestock manure such as cow manure, it is still very minimal because farmers in the area have not processed it optimally. This is because cow dung is considered to cause an unpleasant odor, is dirty and can cause many diseases, causing the desire to throw it away. Whereas cow dung can be utilized optimally as the main ingredient for making compost. Efforts to add compost activator can be done by adding MA-11 or better known as microbacter alfaafa-11 as the main decomposer. The purpose of this community service (PKM) is for farmer groups in Gapuk Village by utilizing cow dung so that its management can be processed optimally so that in the long term it is expected to be able to produce at affordable prices and environmentally friendly. This activity uses the following methods: a) counseling and face-to-face on the importance of processing cow dung into organic fertilizer, b) knowledge training on how to make organic fertilizer with cow dung and MA-11 decomposer, and c) demonstration of making organic fertilizer.

Published: December 2022

Objective: This qualitative study provides up-to-date knowledge about today’s nursing students’ views and experiences of factors that can increase or decrease the attractiveness of nursing and presents students’ ideas for improving the nursing profession.Methods: Data were collected from 168 nursing students at the University of Applied Sciences in Finland through an online survey in March 2022. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: According to the students, the attractiveness of nursing is decreased because nursing is not adequately appreciated, the resources and salary do not match the workload, the working atmosphere can be detrimental to psychological well-being, and there is frequently little support from nurse leaders. Factors that could increase the profession’s attractiveness involve advancing nursing’s role at the level of individuals, organizations, and society; meaningfulness of nursing duties, influencing one’s work; better working conditions and well-being at work; development of nursing leadership; and work and career advancement. Students suggest promoting marketing and the appreciation of nursing, developing leadership and the theoretical and practical competence of supervisors, promoting nurses’ daily coping and well-being at work, and raising salaries.Conclusions: The status and image of nursing must be addressed at the level of individuals, organizations, and society, both nationally and internationally. Nurses themselves must appreciate their profession and feel that they have a possibility to advance their careers.

The article presents a study of changes in the mineralogical composition of cement when adding microsilica of different concentrations using diffractometer DRON-3 with СuCa-radiation, β-filter. X-ray phase analysis on a semi-quantitative basis was carried out on powder sample diffractograms using the method of equal weights and artificial mixtures. The work examines the effects of microsilica on the mineralogical composition of cement at the microstructural level. The aim of the study was to improve the physico-chemical properties of the cement. Solutions with different percentages of microsilica additives (0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 %) were made for the analysis. The conducted research makes it possible to determine the effect of microsilica in different concentrations on the properties of the cement composition. The introduction of additive into products is introduced to increase mechanical properties, reduce porosity, increase water resistance and durability of products, possibly due to binding of calcium hydroxide in the structure of hardening cement stone by dispersions of microsilica. In general it can be concluded from the results of studies that the additive contributes to increasing the strength of the mixture, accelerating hardening. Consequently, the additive is one of the most effective additives to increase the strength.

Published: December 2022

Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus Hort.) is a commercially important open field crop, cultivated for elegant spikes. The development rate is dependent upon temperature so planting date is crucial factor to regulate flower production around the specific days. The present investigation was to validate the application of PhenoGlad model on different varieties grown in Punjab, India so that it could be used as a management tool for meeting market requirements. Five varieties of gladiolus with different developmental cycles were procured from Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, PAU, Ludhiana and planted at monthly interval from September to December at the research farm of Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, PAU, Ludhiana. Punjab Lemon Delight and Punjab Glance took minimum days to reach phenostages whereas Punjab Glad 3 and CPG took maximum days and White Prosperity took intermediate days under all planting dates. Observed days to reach a particular phenostage in our results was close to simulated days under October planting for Punjab Lemon Delight, Punjab Glance and White Prosperity and November planting for Punjab Glad 3 and CPG. Thus, these results validated the use of PhenoGlad model to simulate flowering time of different varieties to regulate the market demand.

Published: December 2022

Wheat being highly affected by the weather, adverse weather drastically reduces the wheat yield. Model was developed for multi stage wheat yield prediction by stepwise multi linear regression (SMLR), support vector regression (SVR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and hybrid machine learning LASSO-SVR and SMLR-SVR techniques. Wheat yield data and weather parameter for generating thermal and weather indices during different growth stage for more than 30 years were collected for study area. Analysis was carried out by fixing 70 % of the data for calibration and remaining 30 % dataset for validation in R software. Results showed that LASSO performed best having nRMSE value between 1.22 % at grain filling stage for IARI, New Delhi to 8.36 % for Hisar at flowering stage. The model performance of SVR is increased if a hybrid model in combination with LASSO and SMLR is applied. The hybrid model LASSO-SVR has shown more improvement than SVR model compared with SMLR-SVR.
Impact of dynamic vegetation on near-surface meteorology using a newly developed WRF_NOAHMP_SUCROS coupled model
Authors: SARITA KUMARI  , SOMNATH BAIDYA ROY
Published: December 2022

The study attempts to quantitatively understand the impact of dynamic vegetation on land-surface atmosphere interactions over spring wheat croplands in India. A new modeling tool capable of simulating these interactions was developed by incorporating the crop growth module of the Simple and Universal Crop growth Simulator (SUCROS) crop model into the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. An earlier study had calibrated and evaluated the stand-alone SUCROS crop model with observed data for spring wheat collected from an experimental site in northwestern India. The crop growth module of the calibrated SUCROS model was implemented in the Noah-MP land module of WRF to build the coupled WRF_NOAHMP_SUCROS model. Numerical experiments were conducted with WRF_SUCROS that simulates the simultaneous evolution of meteorological drivers and crop Leaf Area Index (LAI) and the two-way interactions between these processes. These experiments were compared with WRF simulations driven by observed climatological mean LAI. These experiments only simulate the effects of changes in LAI on meteorology but not the other round. Results show that the coupled WRF_NOAHMP_SUCROS model is able to simulate the LAI better than the default dynamic vegetation module in WRF. It also produces realistic simulations of the near-surface meteorological parameters. The latent heat flux (LHF) varies directly with LAI, and sensible heat flux (SHF) varies inversely with LAI. As the crop grows, the energy transfer occurs more in latent heat flux than sensible heat flux due to increased evapotranspiration. Hence the growing crops result in near-surface cooling due to decreased Bowed Ratio. The mixing ratio is also increased due to increased latent heat flux. The uncoupled WRF model also shows similar patterns except in the juvenile crop stage where it overestimates the sensible heating and temperature but underestimates latent heat fluxes and mixing ratio.

Published: December 2022

Climate change has a widespread influence on agricultural productivity and relies upon the fact that responses vary between crops. Any changes in the nutritional quality of the host plant will have direct influences on associated insect pests and the damage that it causes. In this context, a study was conducted to measure the impact of elevated CO2 and temperature on the growth and development of cowpea (C3 plant) and its herbivore pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) under open top chambers at the Center for Agro-climatic Studies, UAS, Raichur, Karnataka. Elevated CO2 had a positive impact on cowpea growth by encouraging crop boom along with vital changes in its phytochemistry. The increased supply of CO2 resulted in higher concentrations of ‘C’ and C-based metabolites and chlorophyll (39.81 µg/cm2) and nitrogen balance index (104.52). However, ‘N’ and N-based compounds were reduced. Larvae fed upon such nutrient-deficient food increased their development period (36.07 ±0.42days) and compensatory feeding inflicting more damage (7.72 webbings/plant). Although the larvae consumed more food, it decreased the body weight of the larvae and pupae, which in turn decreased the percent moth emergence, ultimately decreasing the fecundity (60.09 ± 0.20/female) and fitness of the pest in the long run.

Covid-19 virüsü dünya üzerinde büyük bir etki bırakmıştır ve yayılmaya devam etmektedir. Daha fazla yayılmasını engellemek için koronavirüs hastalarına erken tanı koymak oldukça önemlidir. Her ne kadar akciğer X-Işını görüntüsü tanısı ile çözüm en hızlı ve en kolay yöntem olsa da ortalama bir radyoloğun X-Işını verilerini kullanarak tanı koymadaki doğruluğu tamamen mesleki deneyimine dayanmaktadır. Yani, daha deneyimsiz radyologların hata yapma olasılığı daha fazladır. Bu nedenle tutarlı sonuçlar verebilen bir yapay zekâ modeli üretilmesi istenmektedir. Çalışmamızda göğüs X-Işını görüntüleri ve sıradan kan ölçüm verileri kullanılarak sınıflandırma yapılmış ve sonuçları karşılaştırılmıştır. X-Işını verileri hem açık kaynak çalışmalardan hem de yerel bir hastaneden anonim olarak toplanmıştır ve yaklaşık 7200 görüntüye sahiptir. Kan ölçümü sonuçları da yine aynı yerel hastaneden toplanmıştır. Göğüs X-Işını verilerinin tanısı için yaygın olarak kullanılan evrişimsel sinir ağı algoritmalarından ResNet, SqueezeNet, DenseNet ve VGG kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, SqueezeNet modelinin daha yüksek AUC değeri vermesiyle birlikte, diğer algoritmaların da %85 üstünde bulma ve tutturma değeri sağladığını göstermektedir. Covid-19’un kan ölçümlerinden tanısı için ise çok katmanlı yapay sinir ağı ve destek vektör makinası kullanılmıştır. Kan ölçüm verileri kullanarak sınıflandırma kısıtlı bir veri kümesi üzerinde yapılmış olsa da yapay sinir ağı ve destek vektör makinası için doğruluk oranları sırasıyla %76 ve %82 olarak bulunmuştur. Genelleme yapılırsa X-Işını yoluyla tanının kan ölçümü yoluyla yapılan tanıdan daha uygulanabilir olduğu ve Covid tanısında yapay zekânın insanlardan daha doğru sonuç çıkardığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2022

Doğal diller tam olarak matematiksel formüllerle ifade edilemediği ve sosyal kabullere dayanan sözcük veya ifadeler barındırdıkları için makine çevirilerinde bazı anlam belirsizliği durumlarıyla karşılaşılabilmektedir. Bu belirsizlik durumuna en uygun örnek eş yazımlı sözcük(ler) bulunduran ifadelerdir. Çalışmada bu ifadelerin kural tabanlı bir çeviri modeli ile doğru şekilde İngilizceden Türkçeye çevrilebilmesinin mümkün olup olmadığı sorusu ele alınmıştır. Bu maksatla, Kural Matrisli Makine Çevirisi (KMMÇ) olarak adlandırılan bir model geliştirilmiştir. Önerilen modelin başarı ölçümleri için Google, Bing Yandex ve KMMÇ çıktıları çevirmen değerlendirmesi yoluyla karşılaştırılmış; değerlendirmelerde KMMÇ'nin, eş yazımlı bulunduran ifadelerde dikkate değer başarı elde ettiği görülmüştür.

Published: December 2022

Wearable dry electrodes are required for long-term biopotential recordings, but their availability is limited. The diagnosis of coronary heart disease is possible with ambulatory electrocardiography (ECG). For ambulatory ECG sensing, on-skin electrodes are used by conformably contacting the skin’s moving and arbitrary formed surface. However, the low skin-adhesion of electrodes restricts their use in ambulatory ECG sensing for an extended period of time. Here, it was possible to create extremely skin-adhesive and washable on-skin electrodes by developing a new composite of Poly aniline (PANI) and silk fibroin (SF). Self-adhesive property of silk fibroin - PANI electrodes was achieved by coating with silk/Ca2+ adhesive layers. These electrodes were applied to the skin to capture high-quality ECG readings for the detection of cardiac real status in order to show how they can be used to detect precise and dependable signals. Silk fibroin - PANI electrodes showed an excellent performance for ECG signals recording over different physiological states.

Background: Dealing with critical issues in the intrapartum period requires comprehensive knowledge and a full understanding of the basic principles and skills involved, as complications during labor and birth occur unexpectedly.. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of critical issues in the intrapartum period among undergraduate final year midwifery students. Methods: This is a descriptive observational cross-sectional study conducted between February-July 2017. Final year undergraduate midwifery students were recruited from one institution and four public hospitals. The research instrument was a questionnaire designed by the research team. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05 and analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. Results: The final study sample consisted of 100 participants. The 36.0% of the students had started their final year internship, with a mean duration of 4.3 months. Only 2% of the participants had obtained a bachelor degree from another department, 76% had attended general high school, 17% had pre-graduate work experience and 48.0% had attended a seminar on critical issues in the intrapartum period. Participants’ final scores ranged from 5% to 90%, with mean value being 49.7% (SD=16.5%). The knowledge score was found to be significantly higher in midwifery students who had started the internship. However, it was not significantly correlated with other educational characteristics. Finally, no significant correlation was observed between knowledge score and age (r= -0.15, p=0.138) or knowledge score and months of internship (r=0.27, p=0.114). Conclusion: In the core midwifery curriculum, the design and integration of didactic and clinical courses focusing on emergency management in midwifery practice is considered of paramount importance. However, teachers should provide midwifery students with guidance on independent learning ability and implement effective strategies to enhance students’ self-study skills.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common cause for the lower urinary tract symptoms in men. The conservative management of BPH comprises of alpha blockers, especially selective alpha 1 adrenergic blockers for symptomatic relief.

Aims and Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of alpha blockers in managing BPH.

Materials and Methods: After getting approval from the Institutional Human Ethics Committee and consent from subjects, this prospective, randomized, and controlled trial was conducted. In this study, patients under inclusion criteria were divided into two groups. Group I received silodosin 8 mg once daily for 8 weeks. Group II received tamsulosin 0.4 mg once daily for 8 weeks. Primary outcome measure was reduction in international prostate symptom score (IPSS). Adverse events during study period were recorded.

Results: A total of 90 patients were enrolled in this study. Ten patients were excluded and remaining 80 patients were divided as 40 in Group I (Silodosin) and 40 in Group II (Tamsulosin), patients were followed up for 8 weeks. As primary outcome, the IPSS at 8th week was significantly <0 week, that is, baseline in both the groups. The comparison of IPSS within Group I and Group II at 0 week and 8th week was significant (P < 0.05). The quality of life comparison within Group I and Group II at 0 week and 8th week was significant (P < 0.05). Both the drugs were well tolerated. Retrograde ejaculation and diarrhea were noted with silodosin (Group I), dizziness and orthostatic hypotension were noted with Tamsulosin (Group II).

Conclusion: The obtained results showed that both silodosin and tamsulosin produced significant improvement in IPSS and quality of Life in BPH patients. In silodosin group, retrograde ejaculation and diarrhea were notable adverse effects and in tamsulosin group, dizziness and orthostatic hypotension were noted.
Proof of Predicate Crime as a Basis for Prosecution of Money Laundering Crimes
Authors: Abdulgani Rika Kurniasari
Published: December 2022

Money laundering is an act that is passed on from the original criminal act (follow-up crime). In Indonesia, the criminalization of money laundering is realized by Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, which repeals Law Number 15 of 2002. Article 69 of Law Number 8 of 2010 explains that "it is not mandatory to prove in advance the original criminal act." This provision adopts a reversal of the burden of proof and the seizure of civil assets. This makes a difference, where money laundering is a follow-up crime, in line with the theory of "no money laundering without core crime." Proven predicate crimes can be considered for money laundering. In some court rulings, the panel of judges relied on proving a predicate crime to prove money laundering. So that the element of wealth that is reasonably suspected to be the result of a criminal act can be proven. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an assessment of (1). What are the implications of not proving predicate crime in the judicial process of money laundering? (2). How does the predicate crime act's implementation affect the criminal justice process of money laundering?
