PENERAPAN TINDAK PIDANA PADA KASUS KECELAKAAN LALU LINTAS TERHADAP PELANGGARAN PASAL 359 KUHP ( STUDI KASUS PADA POLRES SEMARANG )
Authors: HUTOMO IRFAN RIZKY , LEKSONO RESTU BOWO
Published: November 2023

ABSTRAKKecelakaan lalu lintas menjadi bukti lemahnya tingkat disiplin dan kepatuhan para pemakai jalan terhadap tata tertib dan peraturan lalu lintas yang ada dijalan. walupun ada faktor lain selain faktor manusia, seperti faktor kendaraan (sarana), faktor jalan (prasarana) dan faktor lingkungan (alam). Di antara faktor-faktor tersebut, faktor manusia merupakan faktor yang paling menentukan terjadinya kecelakaan lalu lintas, sebab kelemahan-kelemahan yang timbul dari faktor-faktor lain dapat diatasi apabila pengemudi berlaku hati-hati, taat pada peraturan lalu lintas dan memperhatikan serta menyiapkan kendaraan sebelum berangkat, demikian pula dalam menjalankan kendaraannya diperlukan untuk berhati-hati untuk mencegah terjadinya kecelakaan lalu lintas. Hasil dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa Kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat untuk melaporkan setiap kecelakaan yang dialami, menghambat kinerja kepolisian dalam melakukan pelayanan untuk menangani kecelakaan. Dengan tidak melaporkan kecelakaan yang terjadi, bukanlah hal yang baik pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam kecelakaan tersebut, pasti akan berbuntut yang kurang mengenakkan. Kewajiban masyarakat terhadap kecalakaan lalu lintas yang terjadi menurut Pasal 359 KUHP. Kemudian yang menjadi faktor utama masyarakat Kabupaten Semarang melanggar lalu lintas ialah kesadaran masyarakat yang rendah akan ketertiban dan keselamatan diri sendiri serta orang lain. Karena untuk mencapai suatu ketertiban hukum tentunya berhubungan dengan bagaimana penegak hukum dalam menjalankan tugasnya. Apabila penegakan hukum lemah maka akan berpengaruh pada kesadaran hukum bagi masyarakat.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRAKPermasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah: (1) Bagaimana perkembangan kemerdekaan dan kemandirian kekuasaan kehakiman mulai awal Proklamasi Kemerdekaan sampai dengan Orde Reformasi? (2) Bagaimana prinsip-prinsip kekuasaan kehakiman yang merdeka dan mandiri dalam menegakkan hukum dan keadilan?Pendekatan penelitian ini bersifat yuridis-normaif atau doktrinal, dalam kajian eksplanasi data secara socio-legal. Data penelitian ini diperoleh melalui studi dokumen atau pustaka, berupa bahan hukum, yakni bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif-kualitatif.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan: Pertama, perkembangan kekuasaan kehakiman di Indonesia sejak Awal Proklamasi, Orde Lama, dan Orde Baru tidak dapat menunjukkan independensi yang signifikan, karena kekuasaan kehakiman tidak dapat mandiri dan tidak bebas dari pengaruh dan intervensi kekuasaan lain (eksekutif). Baru pada masa Reformasi (mulai 1998) benih-benih independensi kekuasaan kehakiman mulai dapat ditumbuhkan. Kedua, kekuasaan kehakiman yang merdeka dan mandiri dalam menegakkan hukum dan keadilan, perlu adanya lima prinsip, yakni: (1) Lembaga peradilan yang tidak tersubordinasi oleh kekuasan lembaga lain; (2) Kebebasan berekspresi bagi para hakim mengembangkan kualitas profesinya; (3) Seleksi dan kualifikasi hakim atas dasar pendidikan, pelatihan, dan pengalaman yang dimilikinya; (4) Perlindungan dan kerahasiaan hakim dalam proses peradilan yang dilaksanakan; dan (5) Pendisiplinan, pemindahan dan pemberhentian hakim sesuai dengan prosedur hukum yang transparan dan objektif.

Well-being is not just a buzzword, it is a complex concept that has become widely used in the museum sector. In this article we are trying to identify, how museums can contribute to the wellbeing of individuals, especially for those with a range of health condition (mental health service users, people with dementia or older people). As a reliable community asset, museums can be embedded into social prescribing schemes as a specific way to provide benefits for those people who I have already indicated. There is increasing evidence linking museum object handling sessions to individual wellbeing. Hence, museums bring unique value to public health interventions, more specifically, tactile engagement with museum artefacts has therapeutic effects on participants.
Muzee ale comunismului și povestea unei ștampile. O recenzie a expozițiilor dedicate din Brașov și din Berlin
Authors: Avram Adriana
Published: November 2023

This review aims to bring together two private museums whose theme is largely similar: life in a communist country. The exhibition of the Museum of Memories from Communism in Brașov responded to the shortcomings in Romanian state-owned museums to cover a timeframe from recent history. To put the exhibition into perspective, after I present it and consider its museological features, I briefly bring into discussion the DDR Museum from Berlin. I focus not only on the visible part of the two – that is, the exhibition, but I also go backstage after connecting with those responsible for these two private museological endeavors, in order to discern the collecting undertakings and their role in the wider frame of museums landscape in a former communist country. Finally, after my visiting experience with both exhibitions and an unwilling / unfortunate entanglement with communist practices that are still up and running (the almost-failure of having a form stamped), I reflect on the role of a museum in providing deeper understanding of socio-cultural practices that affect our (not only institutional) lives up to our days.

This study aims to describe the implementation of Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) policies, especially in efforts to strengthen religious moderation from an anti-violence perspective. This qualitative study uses data collection methods in observation, documentation, and interviews with three informants, then analyzed descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of CFS has been endeavored to be as good as possible. The principle of implementing this policy is contained in the core values of the school's vision and mission, namely the values of love and care. Implementing CFS policies, especially in strengthening religious moderation from the perspective of non-violence, allows several changes in restorative practices in schools to create superior generations in the future. Anti-violence, if formulated based on the school's vision and mission values, religious and human values, and if implemented in the CFS program, can foster tolerance in students and teach them commendable behavior so they can fight against radicalism.

Published: November 2023

In the Thesis, prototypes of insulating boards from agricultural and woodworking by-products and technology for their production were developed. Low-density insulation boards for indoor spaces were produced by varying their structure and the amount of phase change materials in the board up to 15 %. The usage of carbamide resin binder for cold pressing reduces energy consumption, and the produced boards have a number of advantages compared to those currently used in practice, such as high heat capacity at low material thickness, good sound absorption, and flammability class.
Mechanical coupling coordinates microtubule growth

Published: November 2023

During mitosis, kinetochore-attached microtubules form bundles (k-fibers) in which many filaments grow and shorten in near-perfect unison to align and segregate each chromosome. However, individual microtubules grow at intrinsically variable rates, which must be tightly regulated for a k-fiber to behave as a single unit. This exquisite coordination might be achieved biochemically, via selective binding of polymerases and depolymerases, or mechanically, because k-fiber microtubules are coupled through a shared load that influences their growth. Here, we use a novel dual laser trap assay to show that microtubule pairs growing in vitro are coordinated by mechanical coupling. Kinetic analyses show that microtubule growth is interrupted by stochastic, force-dependent pauses and indicate persistent heterogeneity in growth speed during non-pauses. A simple model incorporating both force-dependent pausing and persistent growth speed heterogeneity explains the measured coordination of microtubule pairs without any free fit parameters. Our findings illustrate how microtubule growth may be synchronized during mitosis and provide a basis for modeling k-fiber bundles with three or more microtubules, as found in many eukaryotes.

Published: November 2023

Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare melanoma originating in the eye’s uvea, with 50% of patients experiencing metastasis predominantly in the liver. In contrast to cutaneous melanoma, there is only a limited effectiveness of combined immune checkpoint therapies, and half of patients with uveal melanoma metastases succumb to disease within 2 years. This study aimed to provide a path toward enhancing immunotherapy efficacy by identifying and functionally validating tumor-reactive T cells in liver metastases of patients with UM. We employed single-cell RNA-seq of biopsies and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to identify potential tumor-reactive T cells. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of UM metastases were created from patients, and tumor sphere cultures were generated from these models for co-culture with autologous or MART1-specific HLA-matched allogenic TILs. Activated T cells were subjected to TCR-seq, and the TCRs were matched to those found in single-cell sequencing data from biopsies, expanded TILs, and in livers or spleens of PDX models injected with TILs. Our findings revealed that tumor-reactive T cells resided not only among activated and exhausted subsets of T cells, but also in a subset of cytotoxic effector cells. In conclusion, combining single-cell sequencing and functional analysis provides valuable insights into which T cells in UM may be useful for cell therapy amplification and marker selection.
Integrated single-dose kinome profiling data is predictive of cancer cell line sensitivity to kinase inhibitors

Published: November 2023

Protein kinase activity forms the backbone of cellular information transfer, acting both individually and as part of a broader network, the kinome. Their central role in signaling leads to kinome dysfunction being a common driver of disease, and in particular cancer, where numerous kinases have been identified as having a causal or modulating role in tumor development and progression. As a result, the development of therapies targeting kinases has rapidly grown, with over 70 kinase inhibitors approved for use in the clinic and over double this number currently in clinical trials. Understanding the relationship between kinase inhibitor treatment and their effects on downstream cellular phenotype is thus of clear importance for understanding treatment mechanisms and streamlining compound screening in therapy development. In this work, we combine two large-scale kinome profiling data sets and use them to link inhibitor-kinome interactions with cell line treatment responses (AUC/IC50). We then built computational models on this data set that achieve a high degree of prediction accuracy (R2 of 0.7 and RMSE of 0.9) and were able to identify a set of well-characterized and understudied kinases that significantly affect cell responses. We further validated these models experimentally by testing predicted effects in breast cancer cell lines and extended the model scope by performing additional validation in patient-derived pancreatic cancer cell lines. Overall, these results demonstrate that broad quantification of kinome inhibition state is highly predictive of downstream cellular phenotypes.
Thinking about it: the impact of COVID-19-related stimuli on prospective memory
Authors: Vicentin Stefano , Cantarella Giovanni , Cona Giorgia , Bisiacchi Patrizia
Published: November 2023

Background

Since 2020, information regarding COVID-19 has been a constant presence in the news, in our conversations and thoughts. Continuous exposure to this type of stimuli could have an impact on cognitive processes essential for our everyday activities, such as prospective memory (PM). PM is the ability to remember to perform an intention at a specific point in the future, like remembering to take prescribed medicines at a specific time or to turn off the stove after cooking. Do COVID-related stimuli affect our ability to perform a PM task?

Methods

To answer this question, we proposed a novel version of the classical paradigm used to investigate PM. Namely, this paradigm includes a baseline condition, in which an ongoing task is presented alone, and a PM condition in which the same task is proposed again together with a second (prospective) task. In this study, a short video clip was presented between the baseline and the PM condition. The video clip displayed either neutral, negative, or COVID-related content. Additionally, participants were asked to respond to two questionnaires and a series of questions regarding their well-being and experience with the pandemic. Namely, the DASS-21 scale (evaluating depression, anxiety, and stress), and the COVID-19-PTSD questionnaire (a questionnaire evaluating post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms related to the pandemic experience) were administered. Participants’ performance and responses were analyzed using a linear mixed effect (LME) model approach, and correlation analyses were run to highlight possible correlations between participants’ scores in the DASS-21, the COVID-19-PTSD, and the additional questions on their personal experience with the pandemic.

Results

The LME models revealed significant effects of the displayed video on performance: in line with previous studies, the clip displaying standard negative contents led to impaired accuracy in the ongoing task in the PM condition, compared to the Baseline. In contrast, participants who saw the COVID-related clip showed improved accuracy in the ongoing task compared to the other participants, selectively in the block performed after the video clip was displayed (PM condition). Furthermore, the explanatory power of the LME model calculated on accuracy to the ongoing trials was enhanced by the inclusion of the scores in the anxiety subscale of the DASS-21, suggesting a detrimental role of anxiety. Altogether, these results indicate a different effect of the exposure to classical negative contents (associated with a cost in terms of accuracy in the ongoing task between the baseline and the PM condition) and the pandemic-related one, which was instead characterized by a higher accuracy to ongoing trials compared to the other video clips. This counterintuitive finding seems to suggest that COVID-related stimuli are processed as “acute stressors” rather than negative stimuli, thus inducing a state of increased alertness and responsivity.
Convivencia entre actividades domésticas y productivas. Nuevo imaginario para la ciudad postindustrial en el barrio El Carmelo.
Authors:   , Werner Zambrano Catalina Andrea
Published: November 2023

A mediados del siglo XIX, parte de los cordones industriales de la ciudad delimitados por el sector del Zanjón de la Aguada, produjeron el surgimiento de barrios de obreros en las cercanías de las grandes fábricas manufactureras. Sin embargo, producto de los cambios políticos y económicos en el país provocados por la crisis del 73 ́y el 82 ́, las fábricas cerraron dejando los barrios ubicados a su alrededor sin un propósito claro. El proceso de desindustrialización generó cambios significativos en la actividad económica, llevando a la aparición de nuevos modos de producción. Esto significó un distanciamiento entre espacios de producción y de residencia, sin embargo, la búsqueda de nuevas fuentes de trabajo en ocasiones provocó la aparición de nuevos espacios de producción de menor escala en sectores residenciales. Otro proceso que generó una reflexión sobre la relación entre actividades domésticas y productivas fue la reciente Pandemia, donde la proximidad de funciones generó una discusión en torno a la forma de vivir y habitar. En esta investigación se estudia la relación entre actividades productivas y residenciales a través del caso del Barrio El Carmelo. Originalmente un sector residencial, cuyo deterioro, morfología y ubicación lo convirtieron en un lugar propicio para el desarrollo de actividades productivas. A medida que estas actividades se expandieron, las viviendas se desplazaron hacia áreas residuales, lo que ha resultado en una disminución de la calidad de vida y la cohesión del barrio. Actualmente, se observa un conflicto de superposición entre actividades domésticas y productivas, con impacto directo en el espacio público y la forma en que los vecinos habitan el barrio. El objetivo de esta tesis es respaldar la coexistencia de actividades residenciales y productivas en el barrio, promoviendo un imaginario de una ciudad productiva postindustrial. A través del estudio de las dinámicas en el barrio, se propone un sistema urbano de revitalización que identifique espacios vacantes y los utilice para revertir las carencias barriales. La propuesta se desarrolla en la calle principal del barrio, proyectando un reordenamiento de la calle e incluyendo nuevas piezas en lotes de relleno y de esquina que otorguen espacios públicos y colectivos destinados a vecinos y trabajadores . Por último, se propone trabajar en una pieza clave que reúne las relaciones presentes en el barrio, con el objetivo de crear puntos de revitalización. En estos se generan modelos de vivienda colectiva que se guían por los modos de vida preexistentes en el barrio, consolidando el tejido barrial y generando una mejora en la calidad de vida de los vecinos.
The evolution of PUCHEROS: from a basic to a competitive tool for stellar astrophysics
Authors:   ,   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Escuela de Ingeniería, Antonucci Fernández Luca Enrico
Published: November 2023

This work presents PUCHEROS+, a high-resolution echelle spectrograph designed and built in the Centro de Astro-Ingenieria UC (AIUC), and recently installed in the ESO1.52m at La Silla observatory. Spectrographs are widely used instruments in as- tronomy, that work with the principle of dispersion of the light as a way of obtaining information from it, for example, measuring the wavelength shift due to Doppler effect in the spectra of a star (radial velocity), it is posible to detect exoplanets orbiting it. PUCHEROS+ is an enhanced version of PUCHEROS, the first high-resolution low cost echelle spectrograph developed by the AIUC. Due to its limitations, the instrument is focused on teaching and also research of bright objects. In this new version, and through an opportune investment, improvements were made in the scientific detector and objec- tive; in the calibration system; in the acquisition/guiding system; and in thermal stability, adding two temperature control systems for fine and coarse control. The instrument has reached the performance of spectral resolution of 18000, sampling of 3 pixels, limiting magnitude of about 12 in V Band, spectral range from 400nm to 680nm. Also, thanks to the improvements mentioned and suitable environmental conditions that the telescope provides, the instrument reached a precision on radial velocities of 50 ~ 100m/s, with strong opportunities to keep improving in this matter. This way the instrument proved to be an effective scientific tool in the framework of the PLATOSpec project. In this work, the instrument and all its related engineering systems will be described in detail, focusing on its improvements with its predecessor. Finally the results of measure- ments of radial velocity are presented, with an analysis about precision.

The Quality of Classroom Instructions from Student’s Perspectives
Authors: Gyeltshen Norbu
Published: November 2023

This research examined students’ perceptions of education quality among middle and higher secondary schools in Bhutan. Student evaluation of education quality facilitates data-driven decision making in a number of ways. Based on a cross-sectional survey design, a one-time data was collected from 312 students studying in class 9 to class 12, using student evaluation of education quality (SEEQ), developed by Marsh. SEEQ measures students’ perception on learning, teacher’s enthusiasm in teaching, lesson organization, group interaction, individual rapport, breadth or coverage, examinations, assignments, and perceptions about teacher effectiveness.  Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Results indicated that the participants had a favourable view of education quality, and that there were no significant differences when the data was disaggregated by gender, except for two sub-scales group interaction and individual rapport. Girls had more favourable view of teachers creating greater opportunities for group interaction and individual rapport compared to boys. However, when disaggregated by the marks obtained during the last examinations, the majority of the sub-scales revealed significant differences. It is argued that cultural dispositions may have come into effect, when the students evaluated their teachers. Directions for further research are provided.

Globally, leaders are lighthouses that help direct followers on the right decision to make, whether in careers, entrepreneurship, personal development, education, community and social services, relationships, health, finances, and enacting purpose. In today's data-driven environment characterized by information overload, leaders and organizations seek to harness the full potential of data to improve every facet of endeavor, including leadership; thus, leaders in management and other spheres of human endeavors must rethink leadership methods in line with data analytics. This research investigates the synergistic relationship between innovative leadership and effective data analytics in organizations across different industries. The study assesses the impact of data analysis, visualization, and governance on various aspects of innovative leadership. Structured questionnaires designed using Likert scale questions and statements were used as research instruments to collect data from 490 leaders across five industries, including Accounting and Finance, Marketing, Computer and IT, Business Development, and Education. Statistical analysis, including correlation and linear regression, examined the relationships between data analytics and innovative leadership variables. The research findings support the hypotheses, demonstrating that data Analysis Influences Innovative Behavior in leadership; data Analysis is significantly and positively related to Vision and Strategic Planning; data Visualization significantly impacts Communication Skills in leadership positively; Data Visualization significantly influences Vision and Strategic Planning in leadership positively; while a positive relationship exists between Effective Data Governance and Innovative Behavior. Data analytics is critical in achieving innovative leadership and improving organizational performance. Data analysis, visualization, and governance were essential in driving innovation and fostering clear communication. The paper recommends the promotion of a culture of collaboration and open communication, investment in employee training for data analytics skills, and encouraging innovative thinking through data-driven problem-solving strategies. The research offers a foundation for further investigations into industry-specific nuances and external factors influencing the collaboration between data analytics and innovative leadership.

To enhance our comprehension of agriculture's role in addressing climate change, accurate assessment of its capacity for carbon sequestration is crucial. This assessment encompasses multiple considerations, including regional climate patterns, crop choices, soil management practices, and soil types. Climate change poses a significant threat to food and nutritional security on local, national, and global scales. The amplified concentrations of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), present immediate challenges. Vulnerable populations, especially those in impoverished conditions, face heightened risk of food insecurity due to the impacts of climate change. Additionally, the conversion of non-agricultural land, like forests, into agricultural use, and human-generated emissions of greenhouse gases from agricultural activities significantly contribute to climate change. The escalating concentration of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, in the atmosphere leads to global warming. Over the last century (1906–2005), the global mean surface temperature has risen by approximately 0.60 to 0.90°C, with the most rapid increase occurring in recent decades. The global average temperature continues to steadily climb and is projected to rise by 2°C by 2100, potentially resulting in significant global economic losses. The increasing concentration of CO2, a major greenhouse gas, is a cause for concern. This rise has fostered enhanced plant growth and productivity due to increased photosynthesis. However, the benefits of heightened photosynthesis are offset by higher temperatures, leading to increased crop respiration rates, greater evapotranspiration, heightened pest infestations, shifts in weed species, and reduced crop durations. This paper reviews the literature on climate change, its potential drivers, its effects on agriculture, and its influence on the physiological and metabolic processes of plants. It also explores potential and reported implications for plant growth, productivity, and mitigation strategies. In recent years, there has been a growing recommendation for the adoption of conservation agriculture as a more sustainable alternative to conventional farming practices. Conservation agriculture not only supports soil health but also enhances agricultural productivity, making it a crucial tool for mitigating the impacts of climate change.
