Problem statement . The modernization of higher education is a good ground for the use of electronic resources in ensuring accessibility, continuity and quality of teaching foreign languages. The use of interactive tools (simulators, flash cards, virtual whiteboards) meets the requirements to educational training programs for students of pedagogical directions and the challenges of modern society. A flash card is a card with a word, a concept, an image on one side and a translation on the other. The study aimed at substantiating the effectiveness of the use of flash cards for the formation of foreign language competence of future teachers. Methodology . Theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization were used to determine trends in the development of language education, the inclusion of informatization tools in foreign language activities and professional communication. The online platform Quizlet was chosen to work with ready-made flash cards and to create new thematic sets in digital format. The questions for the control work grouped into two blocks “Digital educational technologies” (50 points) and “Foreign language in professional communication” (50 points) were compiled. The study involved 54 students from Vyatka State University (the direction of 44.03.05 “Pedagogical education”, with two training profiles, bachelor's degree level). Pearson's chi-squared criterion was applied at the stage of statistical processing of the results. Results . The system of working with flash cards in the foreign language professional communication of future teachers is described: the study of the Quizlet functionality, working with ready-made sets of cards, automating and improving lexical units, developing their own thematic sets. In the course of independent work and network collaboration the students of the experimental group used Flashcards, Speller, Scatter, Quizlet Live modes. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the level of formation of foreign language competence were determined. Conclusion. The use of flash cards in the preparation of students of pedagogical specialties has a significant didactic potential for the development of their foreign language competence: the effect of immersion, competitiveness and obtaining positive emotions; resources for independent language learning in extracurricular time; overcoming the language barrier in the virtual gaming environment of information interaction. However, there are some drawbacks: monotony of forms for tests, lack of opportunity to practice pronunciation, partial support of operating modes in the mobile version.

Balancing Fundamental Rights within the GDPR Journalistic Exemption: A Focus on Criminal Conviction and Offenses Data.
Authors: Faisal Kamrul
Published: March 2024

News portals, social media, and other forums often publish news stories
featuring details about individual’s criminal convictions and offenses
data. The dissemination of such information to society for journalistic
reasons is crucial for forming public opinions in every democracy, a
practice safeguarded by everyone’s expressional and informational
rights. However, revealing identities linked to criminal convictions and
offenses data may interfere with an individual’s right to personal data
protection by causing harm to their privacy. For example, the
availability of such information publicly may serve as an open-source
intelligence that might lead to discrimination in getting a job and
insurance, among other areas. The scenario highlights a potential
collision between the equally protected rights, emphasizing the
complexity of balancing expressive and information rights against
personal data protection by the Member States (MSs). Empirical findings
indicate that in the process of achieving balance, MSs granted
exemptions in varying manners, leading to disharmony with pertinent
legal norms and consequent legal uncertainty. This paper outlines a
unified balancing model between the fundamental rights in the realm of
criminal record information. Employing a doctrinal research method
discerns that any processing activity may qualify for journalistic
purposes if that serves the public’s interest in their right to
information, and the processing is strictly necessary. Second, it
outlined a model that can be used to harmonize the reconciling mechanism
within the laws on data protection in Europe.

Authors: Ma Rong , Briones Diego Armando Burgos , Zou Min , Xiong Yu , Bai Jin , Zhang Lian
Published: March 2024

Objectives: To analyze the factors influencing pregnancy
outcomes in patients with adenomyosis after high intensity focused
ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. Design: A retrospective study.
Setting: Department of Gynaecology in a single centre in China.
Population: Patients with adenomyosis under the age of 45 years
who had a desire for future fertility. Methods: Pregnancy
outcomes and factors influencing pregnancy outcomes were analyzed using
multivariate regression analysis and survival analysis Main
Outcome Measures: The improvement of symptoms and reproductive related
information were recorded during the average follow-up time of 73.8 ±
28.6 months. Results: After HIFU, 100 of 231 (43.3%) patients
became pregnant within 96 months. Among them, 77 conceived naturally,
and 23 patients conceived by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer
(IVF-ET). In the 108 infertile patients, 31 (28.7%) became pregnant. At
the end of follow-up, 70 successfully delivered 71 healthy babies. No
uterine rupture occurred during pregnancy and delivery. The cumulative
pregnancy rate increased faster in the IVF-ET group than that in the
natural pregnancy group. Patients with pelvic adhesion and infertility
history had lower pregnancy possibility than patients without pelvic
adhesion and infertility history (OR<1, P<0.05).
Patients with small adenomyotic lesion volume had a greater possibility
of pregnancy than that of patients with large lesion volume (OR
< 1, P < 0.05). Conclusions: HIFU has a
positive effect on fertility, and IVF-ET seems to have improved the
pregnancy rate of the patients with adenomyosis treated with HIFU.
Pelvic adhesion, infertility history, and adenomyotic lesion volume were
factors affecting pregnancy.

An operating system is the essence of software, serving as the
foundation for the operation of various application software. The
security of the operating system is crucial for the national
informatization construction. Data indicates that many cybersecurity
incidents result from exploiting security vulnerabilities in the
operating system. Linux is currently the most widely used open-source
operating system, with thousands of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(CVE) related to Linux system reported each year. Therefore, research
and prevention of vulnerabilities in the Linux system are particularly
important. To gain a better understanding of the characteristics of
Linux system vulnerabilities, this paper leverages knowledge in the
field of software security to analyze nearly 10,000 historical
vulnerability data in two core systems of Linux: Linux Kernel and Debian
Linux. The study explores the evolutionary patterns of vulnerability
characteristics. Specific research contents include: (1) Data collection
and cleaning of vulnerability data in Linux Kernel and Debian Linux
systems; (2) Cross-statistical analysis of structured data features in
vulnerability reports; (3) Unstructured data feature mining in
vulnerability reports based on domain knowledge; (4) Analysis of the
evolution of vulnerability characteristics. This paper provides
empirical lessons and guidance for Linux system vulnerabilities to
assist practitioners and researchers in better preventing and detecting
vulnerabilities in Linux and Linux-based systems.

A 2.72 µ s row conversion time 11-bit column parallel single slope ADC with differential-clocks-assisted TDC interpolation for CMOS image sensor
Authors: Duan Hao , Nie Kaiming , Xu Jiangtao
Published: March 2024

This paper proposes a readout scheme that utilizes a pair of
differential-clocks-assisted time-to-digital converter (DCA-TDC) in CMOS
image sensors (CISs). The DCA-TDC utilizes only half the number of
ordinary TDC delay chain units by employing a binary-weighted search
algorithm to determine the most significant bit (MSB) for fine
quantization of a single-slope analog-to-digital converter (SSADC). The
layout area and dynamic power introduced by the improved DCA-TDC delay
chain are reduced by half compared to an ordinary TDC delay chain. The
proposed SS ADC is designed and simulated using the 0.11 µm
standard CMOS process. In the design environment with an analog voltage
of 3.3 V, a digital voltage of 1.5 V, a clock frequency of 62.5 MHz, and
a temporal resolution of 500 ps, this design is an 11-bit ADC with
column-level power consumption of 65.4 µW, a row conversion time
of 2.72 µs. Furthermore, it achieves an effective number of bits
(ENOB) of 10.75 and a figure-of-merit (FoM) of 103.3 fJ/step. By
interpolating a DCA-TDC, the quantization speed is faster than a
traditional SS ADC. This scheme offers an effective solution for
implementing high-frame-rate CISs.
Equivalence Between Invasive and Oscillometric Blood Pressure Measurements in a Controlled Haemorrhage Model in Dorsally-Recumbent Isoflurane-Anaesthetised Horses
Authors: Hickey Colleen , Guedes Alonso , Byrne Jessica , Hatschbach Eduardo , Walters Brian , Tearney Caitlin
Published: March 2024

Background: Defining the reliability of oscillometry (NIBP) for
measuring mean arterial pressure (MAP) during normotension and
hypovolemic hypotension could help with cardiovascular monitoring in
horses anaesthetised in dorsal recumbency. Objectives: To
assess equivalence between NIBP and invasive MAP during normotension and
hypovolemic hypotension in dorsally recumbent, anaesthetised horses.
Study Design: Prospective experimental study using 9
cardiovascularly healthy mature horses. Methods: Under
isoflurane anaesthesia, blood was removed every 10 minutes at 5 ml/kg
bwt increments up to 25 ml/kg bwt and returned. Paired NIBP and invasive
MAP measurements (facial, transverse facial, and metatarsal arteries;
FA, TFA, MT) were obtained prior to and during blood removal/return and
tested for equivalence using linear mixed-effects model. Sensitivity and
specificity of NIBP to detect hypotension (MAP < 70 mmHg) were
calculated, and an optimum NIBP MAP cut-off for hypotension was
estimated. Results: A total of 257 paired NIBP and invasive MAP
were compared. NIBP was equivalent to invasive MAP measured at the FA (
p = 0.3; M = -1, 95% CI [-3, 0.5]), with 88% sensitivity
and 73% specificity to detect hypotension (defined as MAP <
70 mmHg in the FA). NIBP and MAP measurements from the FA remained
equivalent when a standard 27 mmHg heart level correction was used (
p = 0.4; M = 1, 95% CI [-1, 3]). NIBP MAP < 80
mmHg using a heart level correction of 27 mmHg (or MAP < 107
mmHg without correction) is the optimum value defining hypotension (best
balance between sensitivity, 95%, and specificity, 65%). Main
limitations: Only adult horses in dorsal recumbency were studied.
Conclusions: NIBP, as studied here, was equivalent to invasive
MAP in the FA under normotension and hypovolemic hypotension. A NIBP MAP
< 80 mmHg after 27 mmHg heart level correction appears to be
the optimum value defining hypotension.
Estimates of heterozygosity from single nucleotide polymorphism markers are context dependent and often wrong
Authors: Sopniewski Jarrod , Catullo Renee
Published: March 2024

Heterozygosity is frequently used to describe variation in genetic
diversity amongst populations and is often estimated using single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, methods of calculating
heterozygosity from SNPs have been shown to be affected study design and
filtering parameters, reducing their utility and comparability across
studies. Though solutions have been proposed to account for identified
problems, in our own data, we continued to see inconsistent results.
Here, we aimed to further improve methods of reducing inconsistency in
these results, specifically by investigating how sample size and missing
data thresholds influenced autosomal estimates of heterozygosity
(heterozygosity calculated from across the genome, i.e., both fixed and
variable sites). We also investigated how the exclusion of tri- and
tetra-allelic sites, which is generally standard practice in such
studies, could affect eventual estimates of heterozygosity. Across three
distinct taxa (a frog, Litoria rubella; a tree, Eucalyptus
microcarpa; and a grasshopper, Keyacris scurra) we found
autosomal heterozygosity estimates to be affected by samples size when
missing data is not allowed and show that this is partly due to the
exclusion of tri- and tetra-allelic loci. We also show that the biases
introduced by these factors are not consistent between species, or even
populations, with higher levels of actual heterozygosity tending to
result in larger adverse effects. We propose a modified framework for
calculating heterozygosity to reduce these inherent issues and highlight
the need for further development in methods such that tri- and
tetra-allelic sites can be included in the calculation of population
genomics statistics.
Harmonic Balance Applied to a 2D Non Linear Finite-Element Magnetic Model with Motion and Circuit Coupling
Authors: Scolaro Elia , Alberti Luigi , Sabariego Ruth , Gyselinck Johan
Published: March 2024

In this work, the harmonic balance approach is applied to a 2D non
linear finite-element magnetic model with motion, coupled to a non
linear circuit. The case study comprises a six-pole three-phase
surface-mounted permanent magnet generator connected to a six-pulse
full-wave diode bridge rectifier. Simulations are performed at fixed
generator speed in two operating cases: with a open-circuit DC bus and
supplying a load resistance. Both time stepping and harmonic balance
approaches are deeply discussed focusing on the model under study, along
with relevant implementation details. Harmonic balance results are
compared with benchmark time stepping simulations in terms of voltage
and current waveforms, progressively expanding the harmonic spectrum.
The computational cost of the two approaches is reported as well.
Simulation accuracy is satisfying with regard to time stepping benchmark
results: relative errors on total harmonic distortion and global
root-mean-square values are lower than 3% and 1%, respectively.
However, the time stepping approach outperforms the harmonic balance
one, due to the relatively short initial transient of the chosen case
study. Further improvements on practical implementation are needed to
exploit the potentialities of harmonic balance technique.
Prevalence of asthma in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a scoping review
Authors: Kamei Júlia Marchatto , Maués Raissa Dias , Silva Gabriel de Oliveira , Machado Alessandra Helena , Hoshino Erika Megumi , Bacchiega Fabiana Menezes , Sena Laís Mota Furtado , Negrato Carlos Antonio
Published: March 2024

Background: According to the Th1/Th2 paradigm, the expansion of Th1-type
clones in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus results in reduced
Th2-type clones, preventing the development of atopic diseases and vice
versa. However, there is no consensus regarding the direct or inverse
relationship between autoimmune and atopic diseases. Objective: The aim
was to examine the knowledge gap about the possibility of coexistence of
asthma and T1DM and determine the prevalence of this association.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted, following the proposal of the
Joanna Briggs Institute. The PCC strategy was used to formulate the
guiding question “What is the prevalence of asthma in people with
T1DM?”. After excluding duplicate articles, analyzing titles and
abstracts, and excluding articles that did not answer the guiding
question, 17 articles were included in this review. Results: Most of the
articles selected conformed to the Th1/Th2 hypothesis, as the prevalence
of asthma was lower in individuals with T1DM. However, similar or higher
prevalence of asthma was found between cases and controls in few
articles. Conclusion: The prevalence of asthma in people with T1DM
ranged from 1.7% to 23.1%. Maybe the mechanisms that characterizes the
Th1/Th2 paradigm aren’t as simple as just the interaction of certain
cytokines, since Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases and Th2- mediated
atopy can coexist.

tumor-associated antigen (TAA) in tumor immunotherapy has become
increasingly prominent. Cancer-testis antigen (CTA) is a kind of TAA
that is highly restricted in a variety of tumors and can induce an
immune response. The expression of CTA affects the occurrence,
development, and prognosis of ovarian cancer and is closely related to
tumor immunity. This review outlines a comprehensive of overview the
regulatory mechanism, immunogenicity, clinical expression significance,
tumorigenesis, and application prospects of CTA in ovarian cancer, all
of which can provide novel insights in the improvement of diagnosis and
treatment for ovarian cancer.
Multi-decadal studies, nondegenerate random variables, and a half-century of studying acorn woodpeckers
Authors: Koenig Walt , Walters Eric
Published: March 2024

Long-term studies are subject to stochastic forces as well as
deterministic, ecological differences. We illustrate this by means of
Polya’s urn scheme and two examples based on our long-term study of the
behavioral ecology of the acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus). In
both cases, the years during which the study was conducted had a large,
apparently stochastic influence on population dynamics. Despite such
variability, long-term studies offer several notable benefits, including
the opportunity to gain a more nuanced understanding of a particular
system and the ability to incorporate technological and theoretical
advances. Ultimately, it is with long-term data that we can hope to
disentangle and understand the stochastic and deterministic factors that
drive ecological systems.
Echocardiographic markers for left atrial stiffness and fibrosis in patients with silent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation compared to age-matched controls
Authors: Bastos Larissa , Al-Khalili Faris , Bäck Magnus , Manouras Aristomenis , Engdahl Johan , Shahgaldi Kambiz
Published: March 2024

Purpose: To study left atrial stiffness index (LASI) and left
atrial activation time (LA-AT) changes in an older population with
silent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) compared to age-matched
control. Methods: Individuals with newly diagnosed PAF and a
randomly selected age-matched control group without AF were enrolled
from STROKESTOP2-study. All participants had NT-proBNP levels 125-900
ng/L. TTE examinations were analyzed retrospectively offline using
dedicated software. Besides conventional echocardiographic measurements,
LA-AT was obtained by measuring the time delay between the onset of the
P-wave on ECG and tissue Doppler Á peak wave in lateral LA wall. LASI
was calculated as the ratio of left ventricular filling (E/é) to peak
atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) Results: Mean age was 76±0.3.
The PAF group (n=67) presented significant increase of LASI (0.41 (0.29
– 0.60) vs. 0.32 (0.29 – 0.43), P=0.001) and prolonged LA-AT (170 (140
– 180) ms vs. 140 (120 – 144) ms, P<0.001) compared to
controls (n=94). Subgroup analysis with normal LA volume index (LAVI)
≤34 ml/m , LASI and LA-AT remained significantly
increased/prolonged in PAF (N=27) compared to controls (N=72).
NT-proBNP-levels did not differ between PAF (228 (181–348) ng/L) and
controls (216 (156–317) ng/L) (P=0.18). ROC curve analysis identified
thresholds LASI>0.33 and LA-AT>139 msec for
predicting silent PAF. Conclusions: Indices reflecting LA
stiffness and fibrosis were significantly elevated in recently diagnosed
PAF patients and elevated in the absence of LA dilatation. LASI and
LA-AT thresholds might non-invasively provide additional information in
patients with high risk of PAF in general elderly population.
Adaptable Integrated Sensing and Communication for UAV-Empowered 6G Networks
Authors: Yang Yan , zhao jianwei , Gao Feifei , Jia Weimin , Mu Di
Published: March 2024

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a promising technique for
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-empowered 6G networks. In this letter, we
propose a novel adaptable ISAC mechanism. Firstly, we investigate both
the communication and sensing channel model under Doppler and
beam-squint effect for the UAV ISAC with the wideband massive
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration. Then, we propose an
adaptive sensing method by the joint designing the signal echo sensing
and beam-squint sensing under practical environment. Specifically, when
the echo power is larger than the minimum detectable power, the proposed
method could realize the effective sensing by utilizing the system model
without feedback. Otherwise, the proposed method could exploit the
beam-squint for sensing with the feedback of the sub-carrier index.
Finally, various simulation results are provided to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Influence of the elasticity variation of the 3D printed PMMA structure on the axial tooth vibration
Authors: Cveticanin Livija , Prica Miljana , Vujkov Sanja
Published: March 2024

Recently, 3D printing with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been widely used in dentistry: 3D printing is a suitable method for producing any complex three-dimensional shape, and PMMA is a material that has suitable properties in the oral cavity environment. That is why 3D printing is very often used to make PMMA teeth. There is the impact between teeth during chewing that causes shape variation and tooth vibration. As cyclic vibrations adversely affect the durability of PMMA teeth, they must be eliminated. The object of this work is to study the axial vibrations of a 3D printed tooth, as well as to give recommendations for modifying the PMMA structure with the aim of vibration damping. Tooth vibration is mathematically modeled and analytically solved. The obtained result provides a link between the vibrational properties and the elasticity variation of the PMMA material. The function that defines the change in elasticity of PMMA depends on the ?slow time?. (The term ?slow time? implies a product of time and a parameter that is less than one). For a decreasing elasticity function, the vibration is of damped type: for higher is the elasticity reduction, the faster is the vibration decay. Based on the determined elasticity function, the modification of the PMMA structure can be realized. Authors propose the application of the obtained elasticity variation function for programming 4D printing with modified PMMA.

Published: March 2024

Introduction/Objective. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics of the selective parameters related to the development of acute kidney injury and the necessity of renal replacement therapy in patients with rhabdomyolysis due to acute intoxication with psychotropic and chemical substances in the first 24 hours. Methods. In a clinically controlled prospective study, 140 patients with rhabdomyolysis were divided into two groups depending on the intoxicating substance, i.e., psychotropic or chemical. Patients were selected according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results. Acute kidney injury occurred in 15% of 140 patients with rhabdomyolysis of whom 14 (66.7%) had psychotropic intoxication and seven (33.3%) had chemical intoxication. Statistical analysis showed significantly increased prevalence in the psychotropic group compared to those with chemical intoxication (p 0.0002). Creatine kinase values for median interquartile range in patients without/with renal replacement therapy were in psychotropic ? 753 (446?753) vs. 42,670 (22,357?42,670) U/L; and chemical ? 478.3 (321.5?1111.9) vs. 648.6 (495.6?2065) U/L. In psychotropic intoxications this difference was significant (p = 0.00002), while in the chemical ones it was insignificant (p =0.2885). The renal replacement therapy was applied in 13 (9.3%) patients with rhabdomyolysis, nine of which (69.2%) were with psychotropic intoxication and four (30.8%) were with chemical intoxication. Conclusion. The prevalence of acute kidney injury and necessity for necessity for renal replacement therapy was significantly higher in psychotropic intoxication compared to chemical intoxication. The level of creatine kinase and myoglobin on the first day in the group with psychotropic substances, and high-sensitivity troponin I in both groups ?psychotropic and chemical substances ? are significantly higher in patients who need renal replacement therapy compared to those who do not need this therapy.
External Nonfinancial Measures in Substantive Analytical Procedures: Contributions of Weather Information
Authors: Yoon Kyunghee , Kogan Alexander , Vasarhelyi Miklos A. , Pearce Tim
Published: March 2024

Recent studies and new standards suggest that auditors can use information from expanded external sources to verify their clients’ financial information. We propose advanced substantive analytical procedures with external nonfinancial measures derived from weather information to test whether it helps detect misstatements. Using computational simulations and daily store-level sales data, we test whether the proposed procedures with weather indicators outperform the procedures without such indicators in substantive analytical procedures to identify overstated daily store sales. For the multilocation retail firm examined in this study, we find that the models with one or more weather indicators perform better at detecting misstatements than the models without them. When the reliability of relevant internal information is in question, the usefulness of weather indicators is apparent. Overall, our results provide evidence suggesting the potential value of external nonfinancial measures in auditing.

Published: March 2024

Taliban adalah satu dari dua entitas politik yang sama-sama mengklaim sebagai pemerintah yang sah atas Afganistan di samping pihak Republik. Taliban telah menguasai sepuluh wilayah Afganistan dalam kurun waktu enam hari. Kota-kota utama seperti Kandahar, Herat dan Jalalabad telah jatuh ke tangan Taliban. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk jelaskan alasan taliban merebut wilayah ibu kota afghanistan pada tahun 2021. Metode penelitian menggunakan jenis penelitian eksplanatif dengan sumber data yang diperoleh dari buku, jurnal, website dan berita valid. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan konsep Kepentingan Nasional dan Aneksasi (perspektif hukum internasional). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perebutan suatu wilayah oleh taliban ke afghanistan adalah menguatkan keraguan atas perubahan sikap Taliban untuk mau berkompromi berbagi kekuasaan secara damai dengan menggunakan mekanisme demokrasi, yang tidak pernah mereka dukung selama ini. Pemerintahan Taliban digulingkan oleh Amerika Serikat karena dituduh melindungi pemimpin Al Qaeda Osama Bin Laden yang juga dituduh Washington mendalangi serangan terhadap menara kembar WTC, New York pada tanggal 11 September 2001 bekerja sama dengan kubu Aliansi Utara.

Negara Indonesia merupakan negara demokrasi ditandai dengan banyaknya partai politik yang memegang peran penting didalamnya yang artinya proses rekruitmen pejabat publik melibatkan partai politik, dapat dimaknai partai politik merupakan satu-satunya sarana mencapai kekuasaan sehingga Tindak pidana korupsi berkorelasi langsung dengan kedudukan partai politik, politisi dan birokrasi. Penegakan hukum terkait pertanggungjawaban pidana maupun administratif partai politik belum diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nasional, sehingga selama ini yang diperkarakan hanya oknum partai politiknya saja, dilain sisi dapat kita ketahui bersama bahwa partai politik dapat dikatakan ikut menikmati hasil korupsi anggota partainya untuk mendanai kegiatan partai. Artikel ini akan membahas mengenai konstruksi ideal model pertanggungjawaban pidana yang efektif dan efisien terhadap partai politik sebagai badan hukum yang terbukti terlibat korupsi, dan pengaturan korupsi partai politik di masa mendatang dalam Hukum Pidana Nasional.

Ketentuan pembuatan perjanjian kerja waktu tertentu telah ditegaskan dalam aturan hukum ketenagakerjaan yang berlaku, namun dalam implementasi ketentuan tersebut seringkali disimpangi oleh pemberi kerja dan/atau pengusaha.

Dalam konsekuensi tersebut, pemberi kerja dan/atau pengusaha pula seringkali keberatan untuk patuh secara sukarela. Sehingga melalui penulisan artikel ini, penulis bermaksud untuk memberikan satu pemaparan langkah hukum yang dapat diambil oleh pihak-pihak yang merasa dilanggar haknya untuk mengajukan upaya hukum. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian normatif, diharapkan penelitian ini dapat memberikan pemaparan secara yuridis normatif atas obyek penelitian yang hendak ditulis oleh penulis.
